Finally there is some justice in the world...bye bye Camile.

I was still surprised at who was in the bottom 3 group with her but the top 3...I approved of.

Hopefully John Stevens will be on the chopping block next.

I can't believe FOX bumped American Idol for Dubya.

The Good: LaToya, Fantasia, Jennifer

The Bad: Diana, Jasmine, John

The Ugly: George, Jon Peter

I don't like Fantasia, but her performance was fantastic.

LaToya and Jennifer came with the whoopin' stick and beat down everyone else.

George picked the wrong song on a night he could have elevated himself into a class with LaToya, Jennifer and Fantasia.

John (red) got lucky with the theme and was actually pretty good. However, because he is weak in just about every other category, he's got to go.

Jon Peter was horrible.

Diana and Jasmine are outmatched by LaToya, Jennifer, Fantasia and George, but did okay. Neither was particularly moving, which will be their undoing.

Despite having the weakest night, George will be in the bottom 3, but I think Diana or (I can only hope) Jon Peter is going home tomorrow.

I was off yesterday too...and they pre-empt it to tonight...

It was sooo funny my husband was all set to watch it yesterday, he had his popcorn and koolaid ready...and the screen pops up stating due to the president's press conference yada yada yada...

Anyways I missed it had to work...have to work tomorrow too.

Keeping fingers crossed on Jon Peter going...

I found out the other day my oldest daughter keeps voting to keep Jon Peter in...she voted 3 separate times for him.

I think she needs to start paying rent...

@debzelda:
I would disown my kid for voting for Jon Peter.

Well, two down, one to go. With the folks that are left, one needs to go (John), one needs to take it off auto-pilot (Diana), one needs to pick better songs (Jasmine) and the other four are positioning themselve for a shoot-out at the end (LaToya, Fantasia, George, Jennifer; in that order from best to worst).

Yep the final four you have listed....it should be an interesting duel.

In order for them to *not* make it...it would have to be a major flub-up...

I lay odds on LaToya making it to the end. She seems to have all the American Idol qualities...

...but then so did that Tamara Grey (sp?) from the 1st season. She finally has an CD coming out shortly.

Well those bottom three were just ridiculous...there is no way!

Keeps up...there probably won't be an American Idol next year.

Looks like America has voted...to be stupid...

The Good: Diana, Jasmine, LaToya

The Bad: Fantasia, George

The Ugly: John

If John doesn't get sent home tomorrow, I will be very, very upset. He was horrible!!!!

Diana and Jasmine picked good songs and both picked it up well this week. Diana needed a different dress; the one she wore tonight highlighted how tubby she is.

Everyone missed notes, but Gloria Estefan has a lot of range and most folks (even the pros) can't do what she does.

George tried hard, but picked the wrong song.

Fantasia was okay, but her pitch was off.

LaToya sounded okay, but I think the best all-round performance of the night was Diana.
