That is basically my list in order of my favorite performances tonight. But I think Lakoda Rain ends up going home. The groups are just not fairing well with the voters.

their only appeal right now is eye candy. but i guess we still have nicole for that.

Yeah, they are definitely a pretty group of girls. Nicole continues to look great every show.

right now, it's clearly krajcik, drew, astro, melanie, and marcus.

this!

exact order as well.

astro won't need to win this to have a career, LA will sign him regardless.

*just want to add that rachel crow will be perfect for the movies and overall entertainment.. she can be very successful acting.

Ok, here's my take on this X Factor bullshite. The entire show was a trainwreck last night. All the stage lights couldn't cover that up.

Notice how Chris and Rachel are running on fumes from start of the season? Chris and his drunk garbage man original song. They say he can write and sing, but they won't let him in this bad nightclub singer karaoke style format, but others can doctor up their songs? Then, real early in the tryouts, Rachel belts out "If I Were A Boy" and the crowd goes nuts.

Here's the thing. Do you really think a 13 year old girl pared down those lyrics like she did and just walked out on the stage and knocked that song out like that? If you do, you're exactly the reason why Simon created this show. It was all set up by him and his crew of clowns. They wrote the song that way for her, go check out the lyrics they used and the ones they nixed. They worked like hell with her on every move, every nuance of that rendition and all the notes she sang. Why? Because Simon got the girls. A lot of this shite is a setup, but that's not to say the little girl is not a huge talent. But they realized it early and put her in this position. The 14 year old blonde is good, too, but my God, what an overbite that bitch sports! I grab my crotch every time she hits the stage just in case she gets too close.

What's funny to me, though, is that the British idiots thought they could just put their show on any time they wanted to and get top ratings, but learned that when you go up against some of the network lineup of shows this time of year you get your arse handed to you. Plus, it's real football here Brits, and Americans have their minds on real sports, even during the week, so we're not all huddled up talking about American Idol type shite.

And, I don't think a-hole, 'Stro, or whatever the little prick's name is, writes all of his own lyrics. Yeah, he writes some words on a piece of paper, then he's coached on what he may really need to write down - if he wants to stay in the frickin' competition! Yeah, right, Joe Frazier, like he knows all about Smokin' Joe, and knew it was time to pay homage.

I know I'm coming off as if I don't like the show, but I actually do. I'll watch live singing talent shows, but I'm just keeping it real.

He doesn't seem to gel at all with any of the judges or contestants.

He really doesn't. I find him awkward, boring and formulaic on stage.

At least Seacrest actually can interact with the contestants and judges on Idol.

Thankful someone finally said it. I know the kid is talented, (allegedly) writes his own stuff and all that. But he just needs to slow it down a notch and have more flow to it. The greatest rappers are not the ones that just spit words out as fast as they can. With little Asstro it is back-up singers and him on the chorus parts, and machinegun style rapping on his verses.

---

I kinda agree with his flow and that's why I liked this past week. He took his time this week and it sounded unreal.

Holy shite. Stacy Francis and Astro are bottom two!

i'm not wathcing what was the reaction when astro got put in the bottom two
