Siobhan Magnus, best known for her loud scream at the end of her songs, was eliminated from the competition tonight.
After the best night of singing I’ve heard from the idol contestants and over 33 million votes cast Mike, Casey and Siobhan landed in the bottom 3. Mike was sent to safety which left my man Casey standing with Siobhan.
I was nervous for Casey and after he gave such an awesome performance last night I was shocked to see him land back in the bottom two. I had my fingers crossed as I waited for Ryan to give the news but my fears were put to rest when he said Siobhan was leaving.
It should be no secret to any of you that I disliked Siobhan’s voice so I can’t say I’m too disappointed to see her gone and even with her additional endorcement from vftw, she couldn’t be saved.
We have our Top 5 and I can’t wait to see how they manage with songs from Frank Sinatra next week. How do you feel about Siobhan getting eliminated?
Aaron and Mike should have left before Siobhan! BOO! I hope she gets a record deal. Would like to hear more of her.
WOOOO!!!! IM GLAD SHES GONEEEEEEE
Based on last night’s performance, Crystal or Mike should have left.
Crystal’s attitude s**ks and Mike is too generic a singer.
Shioban should have been in top 3!!!
Wow! Now I’d realize that where have I seen Mike before! He just look like a long lost brother/twin of SHREK!!!
Well he should be gone next week! If he can sing, so’ the kettle of mine in the kitchen!!
Whoever refuse to watch again after Siobhan got voted off….Don’t worry! The show won’t last long when Simon leave.
Just can’t stand the advert time is much longer than the actual show in US. It’d really put u off!
I’m so glad that Siobhan’s gone. I really didn’t like her. I hope Lee wins, he’s amazing!!!
i loved her, but this season doesn’t really excite me, i just watch for some bit of entertainment and a dosage of Simon cause!!!
Sad to she Siobhan go tonight. She has talent. Maybe not everyones taste, but you can’t deny the girl can sing. Thought it should of been Mike. Still believe it will come down to Crystal and Lee.
Siobhan will be making records and so will Casey when its his turn to go. And he will!
Still puzzled by the judges save of Mike.
i am so glad that she left last night. omg i love casey i didnt won’t him to leave he so cute and he did such an awesome job on tuesday i dont think that people around the world can hear how awesome he sounds. i really hope he does an amazing job next week as he did this week love ya casey:)
I would rather that they voted off 3 or 4 people and then have the remaining 2/3 sing more in the last couple of weeks….
Not sure Frank Sinatra is going to be a good week or not, I guess time will tell.
I would like to re-post one of my older posts.
I think that AI needs to revamp it’s judging process.
Firstly, I think they should scrap the save.
Secondly, I think that they should allow votes from other countries too! Especially the countries that they show the show live too.
Thirdly, they need to keep the idea of picking the bottom 3.
Lastly, The bottom 3 should sing on results night, instead of having all these stupid guest singers (that are really terrible) and then the judges (people who have been identified as really knowing music) should be allowed to pick who goes home.
I do not think then we would have someone getting votes to stay, just because they are cute or dress nicely. I believe that the judges do not really care if they are cute, but need to ensure that they are marketable.
Just a thought!
I got many more but will not bore you all!
Crystal was the worst last night… lol.. Lucky casey was not out… Casey is the best man… Siobhan should not be leaving now.. should be MIKE… but after siobhan left. if crystal is the winner.. she is the one of the worst idol same as taylor hicks. Casey or Lee should win!!!
It makes me wonder about the program. She was the best. American Idol chooses WHO goes home. Time for the program to close!The Judges and the number of votes need to be investigated.
I think there are too many young girls out there who are going for the boys looks and not the actual singing, She was the best singer in the competition, and deserves to win the competion. Don’t forget people, this is a singing competition, not a cutesy look competition. america just did a boo-boo, please vote on voice, not on looks
they should publish the vote count…i think mike staying is very fishy. certainly having more votes than casey, at least that is the appearance they gave, did not happen…we really just take their word for it.
Sad to know that Siobhan was eliminated. She is unique & makes the show interesting to watch, and whoever says that she had pull this far coz of VFTW needs to think twice cause this girl can really sing & she has what it takes to be an AI. Well, guess the people out there wants to hand it to boring fat Mike or young Aaron.
NICE ONE,GOOD JOB GUYS? SIOBHAN IS GONE. MY FAVOURITE IDOL IS GONE. GONE. GONE. GONE. GONE. GONE. GONE.
What kind of show is this?
The save was wasted on Michael. He is not good and he is annoying. They should have used it on Siobhan.
Sad to see Siobhan go, agree with most of the comments already posted, it should have been Mike, he should never have been saved, and he is boring. I turn the channel when it’s his turn because everything he sings sounds just like the last one. Boo Hoo
I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE GOT OFF EARLIER THAN MIKE,AARON AND LEE.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW?
THEY MIGHT AS WELL CHANGE IT TO ‘JUST FOR GAGS’
THIS IS THE WORST SEASON EVER IN AMERICAL IDOL.
All i can say the show is over.
The correct person was eliminated. Now on to next week. It’s hard to imagine any of the remaining 5 doing Sinatra – but that’s what makes a champion – being able to do what’s necessary to win !!!
I am really sorry to see Siobhan go. I no longer have any desires to watch the show. I have said all along that the show is fixed. Crystal has such an attitude about her that I totally disklike and Siobhan has a very nice voice and a great personality, I really hope she makes it big!! At this point I don’t care who wins anyone but Crystal or Mike. They are the judges little favorites by far.
Siobhan has the best voice in the in the bunch, but Crystal is the best over all entertainer. She should win it.
SIOBHAN will always be my star! Her loud scream is way up high to the sky… How about Aaron get eliminated ??? He is so boring and should have left earlier… I think it would be great if Crystal and Siobhan on the final two !
I was so sad to see Siobhan go. I first started rooting for her because we have the same name(even though it is spelled differently). The only judge to pronounce it correctly was Simon. I will not look forward to watching on Tuesday anymore. Can’t wait till Siobhan makes her first album!
Whatever. She was on notice. She was only good at the start of the competition…
Siobhan’s version of ‘Any Man of Mine’ was terrible. It started of like a bad karaoke and ended in unnecessary high notes.
Oh yes, she can sing and she has a big voice, that’s for sure, but last night she was horrible.
I will miss her, she’s beautiful and has a wonderful personality.
Aaron should leave next week, he’s just plain boring.
@Chris: I like the bottom 3 performing idea. I doubt that any of the judges would do it tho. Too much responsibility. ;p
I am not a “tweeny” nor am I in my 20’s. I watch AI as someone who loves music and I like to see the up and comers learn their craft. With that said, here is my view on this debate…Siobhan was great in the beginning but she stopped listening to the advice of the judges. Simon told her weeks ago to quit using that high note because it will become annoying and American might become turned off by it and it might make people turn against her, which is what I think happened. Regarding Big Mike…if he is as bad as everyone says he is, then who is voting to keep him in? The judges don’t just use their “save” randomly. Apparently they see something in Mike and those voting see it as well and that is why he is still in the competition. If we have learned anything from this show, it really doesn’t matter who wins because in the past, most of the contestants have gone on to make CD’s and make a name for themselves. If you thought Siobhan was the best then people needed to vote for her, which apparently this week they didn’t. Remember it’s all about the voting.
They voted off Siobhan?? Are you kidding me?
Sad to her go tonight. She really has talent. Maybe not everyone’s taste, but you can’t deny that girl can sing. Thought it should have been Mike or Casey. I think it’s going to come down to Crystal and Lee.
THANK GOD SHE IS GONE SHE SUCKS LIKE S**T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU AMERICA FOR VOTING HER OF SHE IS MORE A SCREAMER THAN A SINGER I DONT KNOW HOW SHE EVEN GOT INTO THE TOP 20
Siobhon shoulda been in the final 3 with Crystal and Lee. Mike Aaron and Casey are just BORING BORING BORING – This is the worst season ever! Lee is the only one who is actually exciting and looks like he is enjoying it Crystal should go sing to old people!
I was hoping for a Crystal/ Siobhan showdown. None of the men are very good for me…we seem to get all excited when they stay on key, let alone offer anything interesting
ok America..you wanted cookie cutter style artists you got it…we just took the most unique personnality and talent off of idol.
Back to Luther sound alike , country sound alikes and vanilla style entertainers. To bad.
Good luck SIOBHAN with your career
I WASN’T SURPRISED TO SEE SIOBHON GO. THE JUDGES DIDN’T REALLY LIKE HER FOR SOME REASON AND THAT PROBABLY INFLUENCED THE VOTING BUT I FEEL MIKE AND CASEY SHOULD HAVE GONE BEFORE HER. JUST BECAUSE THE JUDGES DROOLED ALL OVER CASEY FOR ONE PERFORMANCE BECAUSE ALL THE OTHERS WERE PRETTY GENERIC I DON’T THINK IS A GOOD CASE FOR HIM TO STAY. MIKE WILL NEVER MAKE IT BIG OTHER THAN IN A SECOND RATE MUSICAL PERHAPS AT KNOTTS BERRY FARM OR SOMEWHERE BUT SIOBHON WAS DIFFERENT AND GETS ONE’S ATTENTION WHEN SHE SINGS ANYWAY I HOPE BIG MIKE HAS HIS BAGS PACKED FOR NEXT WEEK WHICH I DREAD A FRANK SINATRA SONG SUNG BY MIKE IT’S GOING TO BE SOPPY AND BORING….
@Melissa I totally agree with you. A lot of people want to rag on Mike but apparently he’s a favorite cause his line is always busy when I call for him. I love his voice and he’s not generic that’s R&B. I’m not a country or rock fan, but I don’t say that Casey and Lee sound like everybody else. So don’t say he’s generic he just isn’t your style or he doesn’t sing your type of music.
Lets face it the girl can sing,,,,She’s gone because the show is about the popular vote,,,,And its a shame those 4 bozos sitting up front have so much input especially in the end,,,,You know like dawg and the 36 million dollar man who are these people????….Last year the pretty boy Chris was it,,,beats out Adam,,,On a talent scale it was hands down Adam!,,,,But when your allowed to vote over and over it kind of sways the vote for the bad talent…………
Melissa #29 – You say the audience voted Siobhan off. I think the judges voted her off. Remember Rubin and Clay Aiken? AI admitted a “mistake” in counting their votes AFTER they named Rubin the American Idol. Aiken actually won, but AI had already awarded the title to Rubin. As far as Mike – I feel sure AI saved Mike after he was kicked off by the audience because Obama was appearing on the next show and AI needed a bro on the show for appearance sake. I think AI will have Mike winning the whole thing, even though he is not a good singer (not even close to some who have been kicked off), most of the viewing audience does not like him, and he is a bully. It is very predictable.
I dont trust the show. it’s show business after all. now that Siobhan is out in the world, i bet she’s gonna have a better career in the music industry than those top 5 or whoever’s gonna win AI. yes, she was the best, and AMERICA WAS INTIMIDATED. she was the real artist/entertainer among all of them.
Siobhan should not have gone last night and only goes to prove that the Americans voting are under 16 or over 60. This format doesnt work anymore and suggest Idol hopefuls for season 10 start campaigning in childrens homes and old peoples homes who are the only ones voting out there !!
Monami I do not think America was intimidated by Siobhan. Most everyone liked her The judges, especially Simon, did not like her. I think she will go on to be a great recording artist. Mikey, who is the judges favorite, will probably win and join a rap group. He can’t sing (but the Judges like him).
Oh – can’t believe it was Siobhan last night and not Michael! Darn it, I too think he has a good voice, but is just so boring.
Sorry, Hoqward – my mom said the over 60 crowd is not voting. They are not wasting their time with a phone call when the judges have the power to change the votes to their liking. They “saved” Mike after the audience kicked him off, and now they will see that Mikey wins the whole thing.
I am dissapointed that Siobhan got voted of, she is a great singer. She keeps the program interesting. Now that she is gone, i will have to vote for Lee. He is good and he keeps it real.
I have always enjoyed watching the Idol. This season has some terrific talent. At this point I think Mike should have not been saved. He is the weakest talent to date. He is boring and not entertaining. I, like Simon would turn him off if he were singing on the radio. From the comments I have read I am not alone with this observation. Please give the contestants more freedom to choose what they would like to sing. Men trying to sing like women or vise versus just doesn’t create good entertainment. I hope Idol will have a golden oldies night before the season ends. Simon please don’t quit the show. You know real talient and are honest with the contestants. Crystal is a true performer and has the best voice this season.
Very very strange thing happened in this blog… unless there is another Marta which I doubt because since the beginning of this blog I was the only marta posting. I DIDNT COMMENT yet and # 14 is an impostor. I dont think this blog accepts 2 same names so Ashley I would ask you to check who took my name to comment in this blog.
Having said that i am going to comment in the next post.
I am very sad to see Siobhan leave.. she was my favorite since the beginning and really hope she gets a very good record deal, she deserves it.
Next week the one who will shine is Big Mike as Sinatra is absolutely his style of music. Casey is in danger unless he steps up and sings as he did this week he was very good in that song. Maybe Chrystal will struggle too with Frank Sinatra but as she is the favorite for the title whatever she does will save her.
I only hope the Simon and Kara change their truly preference towards Chrystal and be fair and neutral as they should be.
C’MON EVERYBODY!! THE FACT THAT SIOBAHN COULD HIT THE “NOTE” EVERY WEEK PROVES NOTHING. THE BOTTOM TWO SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIOBAHN AND CRYSTAL BECAUSE THE SHOW IS JUDGED ON A WEEKLY BASIS, NOT A CUMULATIVE TOTAL. THE PUBLIC GOT IT ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I AM SUPER HAPPY THAT I DONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO HER SCREAM ANYMORE, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE LONG AGO IN MY OPINION. THE WINNER WILL BE LEE, THE FINAL TWO WILL BE LEE AND CASEY. DO YOU THINK THAT CRYSTAL COULD GET HER TEETH WHITENED FOR PETE’S SAKE? SHE REALLY GROSSES ME OUT…
Regarding comment 14 I made that comment many weeks ago almost same words.. i dont understand really what is going on here. I was so disappointed yesterday with the result that I refused to comment in the blog until now.
Siobhan is not my top three favorites but I don’t think it’s time for her to leave… AI should have a policy to let viewers see and believe the votes, especially when the number is as big as 33 million as reported by Seacrest… it just gives the show more credibility and takes away any doubt or feelings of injustice.
Siobhan…is my idol and great singer.
I’m kinda glad to see her go but at the same time it is a big relif. She had a good voice but what killed it was her attituse… everytime the judges gave her bad remarks she AlWAYS had something to say… she couldn’t just take what they had to say and be done with it, no she had to make this big un-nescarry speach.
Siobhan was my favorite this year but I do like Krystal and Casey-I am really upset about her being elimanated and I will be upset if Lee wins it all-I think he is ok but his voice is annoying as well as the faces he makes when he sings-I was upset last year that Chris won-This may be my last time watching Idol-I just don’t understand why the best singers get voted off and people like Reuben,Taylor Hicks,and chris win.I will miss Siobhan
im so disappointed that shiobhan gets eliminated!!!!Boooo!!!!
Oh crackies….LOL…It wasn’t the high notes at the end. That was actually the strongest part of the performance. The rest of the performance and arrangement was just horrible. It wasn’t the voice. The voice is amazing but it was what she tried to do with the song to change it up and make it her own. It just didn’t work out and didn’t sound very good. It was bad. I personally thought that Crystal was worse but she is not controversial the way that Siobhan was. Therefore, I am not surprised that Siobhan was voted off. All I have to say is that she was in good company in that bottom three. The very fact that Casey was there with her after a performance like that…and also Mike after he gave such a great vocal just proves that the voters are not basing their judgement on vocal prowess. That said, I do not think that Siobhan should walk around with her head down. And something tells me that, judging from her final performance of “Think”, she will go on and get with someone who knows how to market her and have a great career. Thanks for the great final performance Siobhan and good luck in your future indeavors!!!
The judges should save siobhan!! I’m so dissapointed, sad and shock. I really can’t believe it. She really is talented and so inspiring.
Siobhan is my favorite since the biginning and always be.
Siobhan, Lee, and Crystal should be in top 3!!
@chris #11 : I’m totally agree with your great idea!!
I’m shocked and terribly disappointed that Siobhan was voted off. With the exception of maybe two times, I found her performances riveting. I also love watching Crystal, Lee and (usually) Casey every week. As for Mike and Aaron, I can barely remember what they sang – maybe because I start to snooze after the first 30 seconds. They both have good voices but sing such bland, generic music. A lot of the enjoyment of this show will be gone for me with Siobhan’s departure.
Well shoot! I think America (if our votes really count), got it wrong! I don’t think Siobhan would have taken the AI title, but I really don’t think Big Mike or Aaron will take it either and I would rather have watched Siobhan! Big Mike is so arrogant folks and Crystal likes to argue with the judges more than Siobhan did – WRONG thing to do. Sinatra songs – oh lord that should be interesting! I love Sinatra – lets see who can butcher his songs the worse!
This is my first season watching AI. The results of the voting remind me of high school — clearly, it’s just a popularity contest. That said, I don’t understand why Casey has been in the bottom 3. Aaron has no personality and Mike is boring. While I appreciate that Crystal is an “artiste” (she definitely has the attitude of one!) I don’t like how she always argues with the judges, rather than LISTENING to their advice. I think she is pretentious and thinks she’s already won the competition. Talk about someone needing a “much needed wake up call!”
Glad to see her go but Big Mike is a bore and a bully,he just looks like a big mass up on the stage. He needs to go. Chrystal is the bomb,I like other also but she is #1
i agree with TOE,what kind of show is this?r u deafs?u guys who vote,be more careful while voting.Siobhan should have stayed instead of that SHREK’S twin………….
I agree with other people. This is a singing competition. You should vote on talent not on being cute (Aaron) Siobhan is different. Simon always says you have to have something unique. She has IT.
She will make it big in spite of the voting
I think she should have been eliminated a while back. She really fit into the “vampire” skit well.
THANK GOD SHE IS GONE!! SHE SUCKED! UGGGHHHH…I HOPE THE FINALIST ARE LEE & CASEY AND I HOPE THAT LEE WINS!! THE SAVE WAS WASTED ON MIKE BECAUSE HE SUCKS TOO!!
DING DONG THE DING BATS GONE! j/k i havnt liked her from day one for some reason so i am not sad to see her gone. she was a good singer i will admit but other than singing she was pretty out there! i love crystal but she did horrible the other night, but if youve only had ONE bad performance the whole show then your not going to be in the bottom 3. i was scared that casey was gone 🙁 i think it will be crystal, lee and casey at the end!!
Tinny boppers rule! Siobhan was the only female competition on stage. Chrystal has a real boyfriend. It’s not always about bring a good singer and performer. Big mike’s next, he’s the wrong color, too big a man…
good carol….
Honestly the one week I dont have a chance to watch and She gets the boot. The hell with that. Personally I gave her another 3 weeks. An upset is whats been made. I think luck will have its waywith her though. Hmmm, now I only vote on the Sox. She’s to friggn good ta not make at least the top 2 if not be the next. I dig her style.
OMG! Can America never get it right!!!! Sioban should not have been the one to leave. I think we all know that it should be Mike or Crystal. Mike just is not stage material and Crystals type of music will be enjoyed by a limited group of people. She won’t reach the majority. I think people keep Mike and Crystal in because they want to help a mommy and daddy…that isn’t what this is about. Come on…get those two off next and then we will be down to the rightfully earned last 3 standing!!!!!!!
I was shocked to see Siobhan get voted off before MIke. Although she did butcher ‘Any Man of Mine’ Mike did no better (unless you like his style, which I don’t since I am not 70). Couldn’t believe Mike got more votes than Casey either – I thought Casey did an awesome job on Tuesday, one of the top three for sure. But that is true – every year the right ones get voted off, like Adam not winning last year really was a travesty. He can SING! (But I liked Chris too except he can be forgettable – Adam not so much) And Clay Aiken definately can sing better than Rueben Stoddart. And the year taylor hicks won – that was just sick!
PLEASE READ: FIXED AMERICAN IDOL PROOF
The screaming skeleton that shows every tooth in her head was warned enough times she had the voice to take it all but was to bull headed and wanted to do her own thing so she really can go do it now. Crystal, why are you dogging her on the last performance she is a country girl from Ohio and this was a country song, She knew exactly how to handle it as she has mastered all her performances’ Lee is great and the two are the real competitors. If Mike keeps hanging in here I will never watch a fixed show again.
Read the below fixed American idol proof.
Wikipedia Reports
“On May 21, 2003, Aiken came in a close second to Ruben Studdard, who won the contest by 134,000 votes out of more than 24,000,000 votes cast. The result was controversial, as some hypothesized that Idol’s voting system was incapable of handling the number of attempted calls.[26] In an interview prior to the start of the fifth season of American Idol, Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe revealed for the first time that Aiken had led the fan voting every week from the Wild Card week to the finale, when the possibly-random voting result gave Studdard the win.[27] Though officially, Aiken was the show’s “first runner-up,” he has since gone on to be the second season’s best-selling star.”
Casey should have been the one to go home I am sorry but Siobhan is a great singer I am sorry to see her go but anyway I hope Crystal and Lee win it all good luck to you two
Well, all I can say is FINALLY!
LOVED Siobhan!! She has a unique voice, style, and presentation. I hope that she will go on to have a productive singing career. Yes, she’s quirky–but couldn’t you have said that about Adam last year also?
Can’t believe that Aaron and Mike made it to the top 5 and she did not. Course, I’m still missing Lilly also…
I said a number of weeks ago that we should watch Lee. I’m even more adamant now. Eventhough I’m a Crystal fan I believe Lee will win it all.
I was getting tired of Siobhan’s screaming at the end of every song. She can sing, though.
I don’t know why you think the judges have so much power, they wanted Adam last year and we got the boring guy. Yes, Mike should of gone, pretty voice but always the same sappy delivery. I’m not crazy about Siobhan, but she does put it out there. Her voice is too nasal for my tastes. Very disappointed in Crystal, and this was the first time I saw some weird attitude. I don’t want to hear she’s singing it to her boyfriend or they’re doing it for their family. Do it because your an artist who can’t live without music. I think Sinatra will be a disaster, none of them can come close to Old Blue Eyes. Would of loved to see Adam do him. Lee has a good voice but doesn’t understand yet that a song has a story. This season sucks.
It’s hard to believe ur not going to be there. Will miss u.
Simon always have to find something to tease her..since she do a best performance…..that why she send home….
Simon are BAD!!!
There is so much I’d like to say but whats the point. I agree with a lot of the comments above. She was the only one I looked forward to seeing in the competition. She was different and exciting to watch. No, she is no Adam (yet) but with the right mentor she can really do well. I know I will be buying her CD. TAYMARO….I totally agree with your comments about her singing.
I will still watch AI because thats what I like to watch but my heart will not be in it this season. I was totally upset ADAM didn’t win last year and now I’m totally upset that Siobhan was eliminated before her time.
Now we can all seat back and doze during AI.
GO LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They all are talented but for me this is the least inspiring season of AI. I think there were more talented people eliminated way too soon. Siobhan’s sound is too nasaly for me and I did get tired of the screaming. Big Mike will get a recording contract no matter what but he’s boring to me. Casey is cute but no on-stage personality…same with Lee and Aaron. They would make good recording artists but don’t have much stage presence to be performing artists. And for me, Crystal has the best talent in terms of her voice. I personally don’t like the dreds and piercings but that’s her and she will have a fan base. On this last performance it was okay but she could have picked a better song. It seems when they have a song book to choose from, they choose the most unfamiliar songs. It’ll be interesting with the Sinatra songbook. Oh, and I sure wish Shania would have performed. The others were fine but usually the mentor does perform on the elimination episode. I also don’t like the “save” part of the judging. I’ll be glad when Simon’s gone..I think..it depends on who replaces him. I also think 4 judges is too many opinions which tends to confuse the performer. That’s all.Just my 2-cents
I dont like siobhan but I honestly think big mike should go before her.
I too “LOVED” Shiobhan. Not the style of music I would pay for. But, she had more vocal range than anyone on the show this season, I thought. Had a style similar to Adam Lamberts and received the exact same criticism for hitting the high notes that he did. From my perspective, she never once sang herself out of the top 3, like EVERYONE else did at one point at least. But, Crystal and Lee are worthy singers as well. So no harm if either of them win. But, I am a bit heartbroken that Mike and Aaron are still there and Shiobhan is not.
I’m glad she’s gone. My girl Crystal is going to the top!
I love Siobhan, I cant undrstand Big Mike going on, Hes good, but to listen to him on a CD all night would be very boring. How can he possibly last one more week !
She has so much talent, even with her quirky scream, who else can hit those high notes !!!
I know she will do well, but my heart aches for her, cant wait for her CD to come out.
#79 – I too was disappointed that Shania didn’t perform – what was up with that?? Rascal Flatts is okay -but Shaina is awesome! Like many others posting, I disagree with Siobhan leaving. Her “screaming” was her trademark – we all knew it was coming so what the heck? You can bet Crystal and Casey will have their guitars too! Big Mike will be as boring as ever and Aaron has no stage presence. Lee ia another David Cook and Chris Daughtry – which is not a bad thing, but was hoping for someone different. I think Siobhan will be okay – someone will snag her and train her “scream” a bit and help make her a big star! I miss Didi, Alex and Lilly!
Everyone talks about Siobhan’s poor attitude did anyone catch the fact that when Crystal was critized by the judges her little fangs came out!!!
Nothing personal Ashley but Casey may be eye candy but he is no entertainer OR SINGER…..SERIOUSLY!!!
I don’t believe in the “save” for anyone. As I’ve said repeatedly in various discussions, I just don’t think it’s fair to override the will of the people who spend hours and hours of their time voting.
That being said, everyone needs to remember that this is not just a “singing” contest. The voters are just common people, many of them who apparently wouldn’t know an out of tune note if it bit them on the nose. The contestants are not being judged by a panel of music professors from Peabody Conservatory here.
Do you all think that the top ten this year are the best ten singers in the whole USA eligible to enter this contest? Of course not. Some of the people who take music seriously would not even enter a contest like this. That’s not to take away anything from the people who made it to the top ten; they all have their own unique charms. That’s just the way it is.
However, I guarantee you that if some of the people in the top 10 auditioned to be voice majors at good music schools, they would be rejected (for a number of reasons). However, intonation would be one major reason. And, whether you like it or not, this is television. You know that some of the top ten were chosen based on the variety they would bring to the show. Also remember that since people are not limited to one vote, guess which age group is going to be most likely to vote ten zillion times? That’s right. The nine and ten year old girls are going to be voting until voting closes. Who are they going to choose? They will choose whatever guy they think is cutest or coolest.
This is why Adam didn’t win last year. It’s not that he wasn’t the best singer. However, little nine and ten year old girls might find someone like Adam a little bit scary. The older women can’t get enough of him and find him intriguing and talented, but maybe they don’t have the voting stamina of the girls who are nine and ten to vote all night long.
As for Siobhan, she has good pipes. However, in my mind, she needs more training. She is no Adam Lambert, and at times, I found her screechy. However, she is very talented. We’ll see what she does with this opportunity she has been given. Adam Lambert already has his music being used in movies (like 2012).
#85 – Phyllis G – A good Morning to you Ma’am. I so agree about Crystal! Wow – she should learn to just shut up and be humble! Thats what the judges are for – like it or not, you signed up for it!! LOL! Have a great day!
OOPs – last posting should have been to #84. Thank you and my apologies!
Big Mike should have gone last night. Not Siobhan. Big Mike should never have been saved he should have been gone a long time ago.
When the public votes the judges should not
have the option to save anyone. Too bad . . . I
just feel that American Idol is losing its
charm
I saw Siobhan being interviewed on Fox News and she looked very sad. Actually Siobhan tried the hardest of all of the remaining contestants on AI and I hope her efforts will not be in vain.I am not a supporter of Big Mike and IMO he has a better voice than Lee Casey and Aaron. Mike’s MO is an R&B singer and his chances of winning the whole thing will not happen. Casey has the whole package as he the most marketable one of the remaining contestants. Whatever the outcome may be I wish them all success.
If I were running this show, I would let the contestants choose one song that they wanted to sing. However, then they would have to all sing one song that was the same song for everyone. That way, the audience could get a very good comparison. I would choose a song like “Brown Eyed Girl” and see what they each did with it. Doing something like this would weed people out pretty quickly, I think.
#86 – SueBee…..Good morning to you too.
I guess I’m just a little frustrated this morning. I guess you can tell my comments….
You have an awesome day too!!!
If the judges had not use the save for Big Mike the only other contestant left that the judges would have save is Crystal.
COUGARS LIKE KARA IS WHAT’S KEEPING GOLDIELOCKS STILL ON THE SHOW AND THE OTHER GUY NOW THINKS HE’S LUTHER VANDROSS SINCE THE JUDGES PUT IT IN HIS INFLATED HEAD THAT HE WAS LEE IS ALREADY COMING OUT HIS SECOND ALBUM WHICH MAKES HIM A PROFESSIONAL I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SHOW FOR AMETURES OH WELL WE ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL OF THE VOTING I THINK THE PRODUCERS ARE MANIPULATING THE WHOLE PROCESS SO AM NO LONGER VOTING…
America got it right with Siobhan leaving, (but wrong with Casey being in the bottom 3.) Siobhan had some very good tones, but some very bad ones too. She was all over the place sometimes, and just not ready yet. She will probably be very good with more experience and vocal training.
The remaining singers are all good and I wish them much success in their careers. I have already downloaded the songs of my first four choices below, and love them.
Remember this… it is not just about vocals alone, it is about the whole package. They must also have the looks, personality, and stage presence to go with it. They are looking for someone who will sell CDs and concert tickets.
My list:
1. Crystal
2. Lee
3. Casey
4. Mike
5. Aaron
I agree with Joanne. I have said the same thing she said several times. If they all sang the same song we could compare voices better. Have the “song of the night.”
Also, the voting should be limited to one per phone, text, or computer. Their computers could accomplish this if they wanted to do it. The propblem is, they want to see how many votes they can get each week so they can announce it. But everyone already knows about those who call over and over, and those who set their computers to make multiple calls. It should not be up to those who abuse the calling privilege to decide who wins.
Favorite choices…
Crystal
Lee
Casey
Mike
Aaron
It’s to bad that they had the wrong call in phone # on her FaceBook page for the first hour of voting. I think Arron got allot of her votes because of that mistake. But Siobhan’s going to have a great future!
#95 RICHARD…..The voting system SUCKS!!!!!!!
Is that what happened, a voting error? If not, I simply do not understand. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Why is the AI contest so biased against females?
I LOVED Siobhan! I feel strongly that she has the best voice and most talent in the competition. And, I loved her style. She was hip and contemporary in a unique, eccentric way. She was cute, she was cool, and she rocked!
Casey, Aaron, and Mike to not have voices even worthy of being on the same stage as Siobhan. At the very least, I would have been happy with Siobhan losing in a final 3 with Crystal and Lee.
I AM DONE WATCHING IDOL! This show sucks. I don’t know who votes, or how they count the votes, or if the producers manipulate the votes, but the MOST TALENTED performers NEVER WIN! And, if you are a girl, then you have no shot either. Siobahn, YOU ROCK!!!
Siobahn was my favorite. She and Crystal are the ONLY idols from this year I would buy a record from. Aaron is AWFUL, Mike is boring, and Casey and Lee don’t sing the kind of screaming, raspy songs I like. I will look for future recording from Siobahn!
HAS ANYBODY READ THIS
TELL ME WHO IS BIAS NOW?
Wikipedia Reports This is not my words this is FACT.
“On May 21, 2003, Aiken came in a close second to Ruben Studdard, who won the contest by 134,000 votes out of more than 24,000,000 votes cast. The result was controversial, as some hypothesized that Idol’s voting system was incapable of handling the number of attempted calls.[26] In an interview prior to the start of the fifth season of American Idol, Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe revealed for the first time that Aiken had led the fan voting every week from the Wild Card week to the finale, when the possibly-random voting result gave Studdard the win.[27] Though officially, Aiken was the show’s “first runner-up,” he has since gone on to be the second season’s best-selling star.”
Nobody uses the Facebook pages for voting! Come on, Richard. That’s an excuse, and it’s a bad one at that. There were only six contestants, and I still remember the order in which people performed. I think people know how to vote. Let’s not take away from Aaron. He had a good week last week, and Siobhan didn’t. Aaron’s intonation is a lot better than Siobhan’s on any given week. Siobhan has some pipes, but she needs some additional training (in my opinion).
I liked Siobhan as well but not to win. I still favour Krystal Bower-Sox and Casey because he has a personality. Dubious about voting system.
I was so shoked to se siohan go she is so good she should have stayed and big michal should have gone i really liked siobhon magnus i liked how she screamed at the end of her songs she is so good and talented she should do it again next year
SO SAD SIOBHAN LEFT CYRISTAL BOWERSOX SHOULD HAVE LEFT AND SIOBAN SHOULD HAVED STAYED AND WON THE WHOLE THING BUT EVRYONE HAS TO GO EVENCIULLY SO IF YOU GET THIS SIOBAON OR READ THIS JUST BILIVE YOU ARE STILL A IDOL IN MY HEART AND SOUL LOVE YOU BIGGEST FAN EVER LOVE YOU SIOBHAN M MY IDOL
LOVEEEEEEEEED SIBHON MAGNUS SO MAD AND SAD SHE LEFT SO LOVE HER
I think some of the little racial comments need to stop against Big Mike. I am really disappointed in some of the comments on here because they’re very childish and petty. Nobody on here besides the person who wins is getting anything so why run these people down and make up stuff. I hope Big Mike does get voted off just so people can take his name out of their mouths cause this is truly discouraging.
i,feel siobhan was not improving.she came out and took an early lead on some of the others,but then she didnt,or couldnt get the performances back to the beginning level.who knows why?possible nerves,ran out of gas,to much of the same thing,the screaming,or maybe she tried to hard.but i still saw her,or envisioned her as a top 3.or 2 in the end,as far as the wrong phone numbers,or ryan only posted 1 number on the screen.well.thats unfair,but, i suspect,and hope she will continue to improve her vocals,and possibly hook up with a record deal,or possible tv spot.the girl has class,looks,talent,and surely a collosal fan base.
Very disappointing to see such a “unique” talent take second seat to some mondane, over rated, no personality contestants. However, her TWAIN will come in. There is a record deal out there for her and the one that nabs her is the one that will make the bucks. She has vocals, style, and stage presences. Siobhan was and is the whole package. Good luck to you the world is your stage.
Big Mike, don’t get it? Really don’t care who wins now, plus I can enjoy watching NCIS again.
no, Siobhan’s voice was too nasal and her teeth too many. But I liked the way she dressed..
Yeah, Casey and Aaron are kind of boring, Lee is cute, love his voice. Big Mike and Crystal both maybe have too much of a personality, but I still like them, esp. the latter.
Sad, I was shocked to hear that Siobhan had left
I think you all are incredibly ridiculous! Siobhan is on my top 5 list of idols that i have liked the least. the only thing she was good at was screaming. when she sang normally it sounded like crap.sooooooo glad she is history. if she does manage to produce an album, IT WILL NOT SELL.
o welll she went home she wasnt that good … im tellin u mike and crystal are the top 2
LEE WOW WOW WOW, EVERY WEEK, AMAZING TALENT.
CRYSTAL, YES SHE IS GOOD, BUT TO HIPPIE AND EARTHY, I WOULDN’T END UP BUYING HER MUSIC.
BIG MIKE another Ruben Studdard, from previous American Idol winner….. didn’t do well with sales….DID YOU BUY ANY OF HIS MUSIC???
Aaron, the innocent little lamb, another Clay Aiken. Already had that.
Im so glad she is gone. I think Katie deserved to be there longer than Siobhan. I think Crystal or Lee will win AI this year!
I’m watching the show from the UK. Those that mention having a final sing-off may get their wish. The forerunner of this show was Pop Idol here, which Cowell replaced with a show called The X Factor. Similar format, but each judge ‘mentors’ a group (boys, girls, over 25s etc). However, each week there is a bottom two in the voting and they must sing again. The judges are the ones who decide, based upon that final performance, who should go home.
Cowell is leaving AI to launch The X Factor USA next year. AI has run its course and is pretty much dead.
Incidentally, some of the comments on here make me laugh. Crystal is favoured by the judges each week because – get this – she delivers consistently superior performances each week. She is by far the best; take your blinkers off. Mike is a superb soul singer, every note is silky smooth and on the money. Siobhan was great; quirky, great vocals and able to hit unique notes. No she did not scream – I’m tired of hearing that nonsense assessment since Adam Lambert.
The rest are totally run-of-the-mill with average talent. Clean your ears out America.
crystal give the worst proformers this week but the people still vote for her to stay in,but i dont care who goes out.we only want to see big mike stay in and win the american idols the year.
Siobhan should not have gone before Aaron. I’m still saying why is everyone hating on Mike. Remember the Judges save him a couple of weeks back. I am beginning to see a little humility coming from Mike and I like to excitement that comes along with his singing. I think Big Mike will stay just to go up against Crystal. Big Mike has a way of fighting for his rights when he is pushed up against a wall. Otherwise he will do enough to make it work.
I liked Siobhan because I think she exemplifies a true american idol. Not only that not more than 3 weeks ago Mike was eliminated (by voters) but saved by the judges and now all of a sudden Siobhan (never having been in the bottom) was the one voted off. Doesn’t make any sense to me. I still think they have Crystal and Mike as the finalists
I agree with Chris (No. 11): forget the popular vote; go with the judges. They DO influence voting, but I doubt if you would have seen Casey in the bottom two if they had a say. Under a judge-only scenario, no more popularity contest. They know who’s good, and I trust Simon implicitly. But, now, we have to live with the popular vote. Crystal should win unless people ASSUME she’s got it, and vote for someone else. Casey may be a guitar player first, but what about that guy named Clapton…?
Siobhan should have stayed. Mike should have gone last night. Soibhan does offer varieties in her singing. Will miss you Siobhan but that is just the beginning for you!!
i think it sucks that she had to go. This is not a talent show it is a popularity contest. She should have been in the top 3 along with Crystal and Lee
I have to say that I did not get to read all the comments, but, I agree with Chris (4-29) that the contestants should do more singing other than getting quest singers who I never heard of and can’t sing. Also, Siobhan, can sing, but, I do not like the screaming she does, that is not singing. I am disappointed that not much country was heard. I am looking forward to Ole Blue Eyes week. Thank you
So glad siobahn’s gone!!! I was so nervous for Mike and Casey!! Ppl get to butt hurt over who goes home…fact of the matter is at this point whoever goes home WILL have a shot at a record deal!! once again so glad she’s gone i didn’t like her voice at all!!!
Didn’t care that Siobhan left. I never liked her. Sure she has a good voice, but she was always too weird and out there for me. I hope it comes down to Lee and Casey. Over the next few weeks i dont really care who goes off, as long as it is not Casey! CASEY SHOULD WIN! HE IS BY FAR THE BEST!
SO GLAD SHE IS GONE. IM HOPING FOR A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN AARON AND CRYSTAL. I JUST LOVE THEM!!!!!
So typical at this stage of the game. Vote for the worst always screws up the voting. It is all a big joke. This is my last year watching. I hope Crystal goes next and Aaron wins t all.
Bah Humbug!
the show is over… I’m def not watching anymore… Siobhan was the best contestant this season… everyone else is extremely boring! Goodbye ratings for idol..
Sad to see Siobhan voted off… she has Star quality, the whole package and most importantly “memorable”, like Adam Lambert last year and not the guy “err… what’z his name” who won.
VFTW endorces michael lynche.
I totally agree with you Nick…Siobhan was awesome….I enjoyed her almost as much as Adam Lambert! I think “different” is good for American Idol, it adds a little spice to the mix!! I will definitely miss her but look forward to seeing her in the future, as she will definitely be going somewhere great with her career! There is still a great mix of contestants left, can’t wait to see who impresses the viewers the most in the next few weeks! Good luck everyone! Siobhan…I will miss you!! 🙂
Siobhan leaving? It was long overdue … now the competitors left, really have been the main competitors all along. Aaron Kelly has certainly come up in the ranks. I love Crystal and I love Lee, but the one huge difference between the two is that Lee ‘wants to win’, Crystal could care less – and don’t get me wrong because I love her. She is extremely gifted, BUT, in her heart, I think she really doesn’t want to win .. she doesn’t like the hype and the attention, she is basically a down-home girl at heart and would probably feel more comfortable just being back in the country. On the other hand, a good manager (Simon?) might be able to work with her and bring that aspect of her around.
Lee is a natural in front of the camera ..keep on trucking, I say …
Siobhan should have been around another week but reading all these comments of people sorry to see her go u must not be part of the 33 Million who voted and was bored with the SCREAM…. If you would have blogged as you are now she would still be around BIG Mike should have gone…
okay I think shibon raised the bar to high to early with that high note on aretha franklin song. kinda like how andrew garcia did with straight up. everyone is pissed that she got voted off but i look it as a good thing. half of the people that become famous are the ones on american idol that made it to the top 5 and didnt win. if she would have won then she would have been stuck on their contract for a while before she could do her own thing. so i would look at in a positive way. i wasnt a fan of hers but i did think she was going to make it to the top 3. sorry all of her fans out there. just move on and finish out the show. it probably wont be on next year anyway. i think that show has run its course and should quit after this season!!! thanks!
i really didnt care if siobhan went home. im glad she did and not a good singer (*cough cough* aaron kelly) i think it wouldve been GREAT if her AND casey went home. then big mike leaves, then lee, and have it between the 2 BESTEST singers this season AARON KELLY and crystal. i want it to b between the 2 of them with aaron kelly winning. i no everyone says it will b between lee and crystal and i thought that 2 but siobhan left b4 big mike so apparently anything can happen. VOTE FOR AARON KELLY!!!
xoxo~tosha <3
I predicted it would be her. I think everyone got tired of the scream and she seemed to never take direction from the judges. She does have an awesome voice but I even got sick of the scream.
sry about the name of my last post i posted a comment as “Hank” and 4got to change my name back b4 i posted my last comment so that one that says hank was me
I LUUUV AARON KELLY!!!
xoxo~tosha <3
I can’t believe that Siobahn is gone. AI lost one of the most interesting versatile contestants. She was like the female counterpart to Adam Lambert. Aaron and Mike should have gone by now. I guess America and Idol judges are looking for more boring vanilla artists. The good thing is that Siobhan will probably get a much better record contract than the one that AI awards, plus she won’t have to pimp for Ford if she does not want to, nor perform a song Cara wrote. Remember last year and the song that Cara wrote? Disaster!
WHY DID SIOBHAN HAVE TO LEAVE? SHES THE TOTAL BEST! I CRIED WHEN SHE LEFT!! SHES WAAAYY BETTER THAN CASEY. HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT A LONG TIME AGO. JUST CAUSE HE’S CUTE DOESN’T MEAN HE SHOULD WIN. I AM SOOOO SAD:'( :'( :'(
Siobhan and Mike were tied as my fave, so I was so glad when they saved him, but now I am really sad Siobhan left that now I don’t know if MIke should have been saved or if they should have saved it for Siobhan!
I think a person should have to pass a hearing test before he or she is allowed to vote. I had Siobhan at #2.
Crystal is an old pro. She has probably sung at every coffee house and open mic in the Midwest. She’s sung in every circumstance, every situation except this one. She’s excelled with one hand behind her back – she’s not allowed to sing her own songs.
Mike is the most improved singer in the competition – and he was pretty good at the start. He’s got to drop the nasal quality, show that he can power through a fast song. Sinatra week is a challenge to him, but I hope he kills on “The Way you Look Tonight.
Lee is coming up on Mike’s outside in the voice improvement lane. Once he starts pronouncing the words, his voice will come together. His big problem is that he has developed a good bluesy voice, but “Blues is a Feeling” and he doesn’t have it.
Casey is also working with one hand tied behind his back. The two minute format doesn’t give him time to showcase his guitar. If he was given 5 minutes, a rhythm section, and a slow blues like “Stormy Monday”, he might just wrap up this competition right then.
Aaron is game and will probably be popular with the teenage girls who buy the most music, if he gets the right songs and the right producer and the right publicist. But he can’t do it on his own.
Lee, WOW WOW WOW, HE CAN MOVE THE CROWD.
Lee blows the rest out of the water, so talented.
GO LEE LEE GO LEE LEE!!!!!!!!
AARON (an innocent little lamb) IS ANOTHER Clay Aiken (previous American Idol),already had that, need something new.
And big MIKE is another Ruben Studdard- who was a previous American Idol winner…did anyone listen to his music after he won? NO
Although, Crystal is a great siger, I am not a fan of her style so I wouldn’t end up listening to her music..
I understand that Siobhan Magnus got eliminated from the competition last night because she had the lowest votes and I do feel bad for her. Siobhan lives down in Cape Cod, Mass.

#131 BOB……Did all that voting, did all that blogging, did it this season and last…DUH…Do you think it really mattered????
just think -are you actually going to buy Mike or AAron CD’s when they come out??????????
DID U ENJOY CLAY AIKEN OR RUBEN STUDDARD (previous American Idols “winners”)… because it is the same, lets swith it up this season.
Lee, WOW WOW WOW, HE CAN MOVE THE CROWD.
Lee blows the rest out of the water, so talented.
GO LEE LEE GO LEE LEE!!!!!!!!

It’s not even about votes.
It’s about who they have setup to win,
Watch for the BIG ending
Lee, WOW WOW WOW, HE CAN MOVE THE CROWD.
Lee blows the rest out of the water, so talented.
GO LEE LEE GO LEE LEE!!!!!!!!

I was glad to see her – Siobhan – go. However, I would have enjoyed her more if she didn’t argue EVERY point with the judges. Yes – great – she showed moxy but it most often came off as not appreciative and a bit snotty.
About Mike and Aaron. PULEESE they are not the top two! I could not stand it if Aaron won. Isn’t one Bieber in this world enough????
I very much agree the voting system should change. First off, no save. I agree with that. Someone suggested all the performers sing the same song. I have to say that might get a bit boring for some. Everyone pretty much agrees that the results night is a big bore, with all the so called “professional” talent brought in. I think a much more entertaining arrangement would be to have those selected in the bottom three by the public, to have a sing off on results night … And let the judges sending home the worst out of that bunch the public voted on, based on the performance they do the following day. This would keep the Tim Urbans and SanJaya‘s off the world from going much further than they should in this competition. In a sense, keep the cream floating to the top. Plus, make results night more entertaining.
I loved Siobhan. IMO, she was the most talented of the contestants and many music critics agree with me. The show will be dull without her. Siobhan, however, has a bright future.
me personaly,i think it was fixed.siobhan was one of the most talented singers left.it seems it happens every year.last year adam.one time to clay.this is a way.or ploy for the show to get there ratings up.but i am done with idol.but i cant say the same for siobhan.lets hope this is the start of great things for her career.whether its music,television or whatever i will follow her career.cant wait until she is on the ellen,and daid letterman shows.
I was hoping for her to get the boot. I couldn’t wait!!! That scream OMG enough that, can you imagine IF she ever got an album and listening to that at the end of every song??? She was boring and not all that, that she thought she was. TaTa girl!!!!
I think that Tim is going to beat Big Mike in the Final…. OH no, that was my dream last night, and they were wrestling…
I Agree…. X-Factor is soon going to replace AI ….
Ellen is a terrible judge, and apparently has a 5 year contract…
I think that they will not replace Simon at all, and go with 3 judges…. They constantly run over or cut it short because of the commenting by the extra judge…
Now I am going to go back to my dream…. Having a Daquiri with Paula…
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz……
HOW ABOUT A SING OFF: RUBEN STODDARD AND CLAY AIKEN VS MIKE AND AARON MIGHT AS WELL THE SHOW IS DYING A QUICK DEATH HAVING TO SIT THROUGH A BUNCH OF FILL-IN ENTERTAINMENT AND MINDLESS BANTOR WITH THE JUDGES JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES OF RESULTS. JUST DIM THE FREEKING LIGHTS AND GIVE US THE FREEKING RESULTS ALREADY!!!
I agree with an earlier poster- Why can’t Canadians vote? We watch it live and should be able to vote. We vote if we’re in the US using an American phone.
Actually, I thought she was quite annoying and her screaming was getting old. It seemed like when her name was announced she really didn’t care about the others, espcially when she went to her family in the audience instead of staying on stage like other voted off contestants. IMO Go Lee to win, Casey runner-up !!
Boy, I read everyone else’s comments, and I sure hope someone reads mine as well, and perhaps sends me a comment. First of all, I am not a teenie-bobber, and I am not an “oldie”…I have been a professional musician since I turned 17 years old, and that means I have been one for 35 years now. Do the math. I would like to make a request of all you leaving comments. If you are going to post a comment, please at the very least, make sure you know how to spell, and use proper grammar. I mean it only seems right that if you are going to critic someone’s performance on AI, you should at the very least know how so spell!! I’d like to say to “Chris”, “Chichi”, and “Jenny Angeline” that I agree with you all 100%. After Adam Lambert was defeated by Chris Allen in season 8, I began to question that honesty of our so-called vote being counted. Anyone who actually thinks Chris Allen won the “real phone vote” over Adam….well let’s just say I have a bridge I’d like to sell you. The person that said Shrek (Mike Lynch) was saved because Obama was appearing that next week is absolutely correct. The fact that Mike was “saved” is an outrage!! If someone wants to make a album with Mike’s voice…well that might be good to put someone to sleep, and that’s it. I do not believe for one minute that America actually voted Siobhan off from the top 6 is crazy. She is one of the few left that actually kept me excited. Mike and Aaron needed to leave along time ago. I think it will get down to Chrystal and Lee, but under no circumstances should Siobhan have been kicked off last night. I actually cried when I watched that. When I saw Casey, Siobhan, and Mike in the bottom three last night, at first I thought “good…Mike is going home”. When it became obvious that he was the 3rd from the bottom, and allowed to join the other “saved” idols, I was shocked. Just like last year when Adam did not win, and just like when Rubin won over Clay Aiken. You people that say you do not like Chrystal’s attitude need to read about her life. She doesn’t have an attitude; she has had a hard life but has not given up!! As a musician myself, I can say she is a true musical artist. But the same can be said for Siobhan, and the same can almost be said for Lee, and to a lesser extent Casey. But of all things, and I hate to say it America….our votes are not being counted!!! Like Obama’s political calls for “transparancy”, AI needs to start being transparent as well. We…the public and the only thing that keeps AI from staying on the air, are entitled to actually go to an AI link that after the elimination show, and let us view for ourselves the so-called total count, and who actually got how many votes. And one last comment: is it true that this is Simon Cowell’s last season on AI? If he leaves; most of the viewers will leave also. His comments (despite the fact that people love to “boo” him) are the only honest comments coming from the judges. I don’t know….I am considering no longer viewing AI if Mike is not eliminated next week. That would be the last straw. Janelle
Ratings will suffer, I believe. Love her or hate her, Siobhan Magnus was a big reason why viewers who are not part of a rabid fan, power vote texting minority – tuned in. She was the interesting one.
And as a fan, I will follow her career. I’d love to know why it was she didn’t go into university or a school of performing arts to hone her skills. It’s a mystery. At 18 she had a decade of lead roles in local and school stage productions and the highest accolades about her performance potential, unique vocal talents, and absolute top notch work ethic, character, and ability to take direction and work with others.
On the other hand, Idol has given her many. many opportunities a college sophomore could only dream of.
i am so happy that she is gone i just hope that aaron kelly and chrystal dnt get kicked out 🙂
I feel bad for her coz she’s really a good singer. She’ll still get herself a recording contract after American Idol, that’s for sure! One of the greatest talents I’ve ever seen and followed. Way to go, gurl! =)
Emilee123 – I am astounded that you are upset that Siobhan went to her Mom to say its all OK and her Mom reassured her that “She will always be her star” was improper.
But the right thing would be to rush on stage so contestants could say sorry before Big Mike enveloped her in a bear hug, with Big Mike facing the camera square on.
She didn’t care about the others? WTF? She cared about the people she should care about the most – her Mom and other family shocked by her elimination. It was poignant, and showed again just how classy a young lady Siobhan Magnus is. Get past AI and all the unreal game stuff – think what is important. Any Mom would be proud to have a daughter like Siobhan Magnus.
@ Jannelle (#155)….I, for one, read your post, and have to agree with everything you said.
I do not understand why the ‘teeny boppers’ in the audience boo Simon’s comments. He is indeed only speaking the truth which, if it hurts the feelings of the contestants, then they will have no chance when coming up against producers and record companies whom they are asking to invest money in them!
I also think that the ‘brainless’ members of the audience are influenced to boo Simon, by the idiotic and childish booing displayed on a regular basis by Randy, when Ryan announces the judging panel to the audience.
I agree that Crystal has attitude for a good reason, but also did not like the ‘man-up’ comment to her obviously supportive boyfriend.
Isn’t anyone going to comment on that stupid looking tatoo she has on her shoulder? And the nose ring didn’t make her look any better. People are right, this is about singing but you need to look like a star also. Not some freak with tatoos and body piercings.
I agree that Siobhan getting up to be with family was a fine thing to do, and showed when you got past the “different” just how classy and adorable the girl is.
Also, Ryan may have jerked Moms chain earlier -it was particularly cruel of Ryan to say to Siobhan,”Walk with me over to the seats”—implying she was safe—only to deposit her with the two guys and declare that she was in the bottom three.
Now Siobhan and other contestants know how the game is played and the misdirections, but I’m not sure the Magnus Family was aware of the little game.
As for the contestants the poster Chris mentioned eimee123 thought Siobhan had 1st duty to, what garbage. They understood. Particularly Lee, who is now thought to have started a relationship with Siobhan. They all had plenty of time to get together backstage after Siobhan’s early elimination.
@ Janelle #155: Practice what you preach. It’s teenybopper not teeny-bobber and Kris Allen not Chris Allen.
“Rod89301 -Isn’t anyone going to comment on that stupid looking tatoo she has on her shoulder? And the nose ring didn’t make her look any better. People are right, this is about singing but you need to look like a star also. Not some freak with tatoos and body piercings.”
The stupid tattoo is a famous piece of artwork from the macabre “Gashleycrumb Tales”. I’m guessing Rod is in his 70s and not exposed to todays tastes in younger people for body decoration. Hardly freaks. Lee, Lynche, Crystal, Casey, Didi have bodyart as well. And if Rod cannot see how exceptionally beautiful Sibhan Magnus is, well he is an old man with certain key parts withered or surgically removed.
Magnus is so interesting because she has the whole package going to be a star – she has weaknesses in that package that need polishing – but she has it all. Class A attitude and strong drive&work ethic, killer good looks and bod, promising vocal talent of unusual range and power in need of coaching, artistic abilities, stage experience, acting experience, high intelligence (despite the slow talk that needs some work on), style, high likeability in personal interactions, real honesty and integrity, songwriting and instrument playing skill. Showed marked improvement in the “art” of studio recording and engineering on Idol. What she was doing in studio was not good at the start, but her work at the end of her Idol time is being called “album quality”. Needs honing in her stage kinetics (movement), some dance time. But overall, she is a rare total package that is not guaranteed fame, big money and success – but has a real shot at.
Nose ring tattoos and all, Ron
Siobhan IS a very good singer/artist. True she may not have been the best looking however she is the best looking girl. But it is about the singing NOT looks; at least it should be! All the contestants did a really good job except for Crystal & Big Mike, I thought but then what do I know? I also believe when Simon Cowell leaves a lot of people will stop watching this show. It has definitely gone to the dawgs…know what I mean? Siobhan you will be missed by a lot of us. We however will not miss the screech. Tone down your pitch and you will go far. God Bless.
Last nights results show was a JOKE!! Siobhan should NOT have been booted off(and I’m not especially a fan of hers)…it should have been Mike. Also, WHAT was Casey doing in the bottom two? NO WAY he deserved to be there after his performance on Tuesday! I, too, question the vote counting…Now that Siobhan is gone, Casey is going to get clobbered by the judges because they don’t want him to shine because it will get in the way of their pet Mike! Casey is still my number 1 and I love how he handles himself every week…he is a CLASS ACT no matter what they throw at him! GO Casey…you are the BEST!!!
THANK GOODNESS the QUEEN of screech is gone!
Next week it’s Mike’s turn.
Unfortunately, America got it wrong again! Siobhan is the most talented person on the show – fantastic vocal ability (it is a singing competition….right?) and so unique. Don’t know if I’ll bother to watch anymore. What is left, except for a couple of people is total boredom. Speaking of which, I think Mike is likely a nice guy, but he sounds the same every week – should have gone home weeks ago. So much for this season! Over & out!
Siobhan is lovable and has great personality, as a performance artist. She had wonderful vocal moments that charmed me, and excruciating moments that left me aching for her and cringing. Ultimately Mike, who is humdrum but consistent, I think stayed on due to a lack of excruciating moments, and of course, because he’s virtually identical to Ruben Studdard. That said, I did not realize until reading these comments that Clay Aiken had actually won over Studdard – very disturbing, as he is an all-time favorite of mine. I loved Jennifer Hudson and was disgusted with AI when she was voted off, and as it is, she won a well-deserved Oscar. Crystal Bowersox is probably one of the most talented singers/musicians to ever grace American Idol, but for various reasons we cannot count on the best man or woman winning. That said, I’ll also take Lee Dewyze, as proof AI is honest.
I agree with Lee. It just so sad that Siobhan will not be in the Top 3 anymore, despite of the fact that she’s already eliminated, i still like her. I love the way she sings, she was a great performer and a singer.n I can’t wait for her album to came out. Go Siobhan, i’m always be her fan. Anyway, i just hope that Crystal and Lee will be the Top 2 contenders in AI. Kudos to the 3 of you…
At last, space 2 write. What can I say that hasn’t been said already? Siobhan shd have won. Followed closely by casey, crystal and mike. Lee who? I take comfort tonight from the fact that America is seething, exactly the way Britain did during x factor 2009 when danyl johnson, the most talented of them all went home in the 4th place! Be comforted y’all. It is well..
it is very unfair siobhan is a nice singer…she should not be eliminated…..i have a bright idea why did not they guest the singing sensation fron the philippines charice pempengco….for us to watch out her in american idol…i hope the management of american idol will look into this….
Hopefully LEE & either Crystal or Casey are in the final, (although I don’t like Crystal & won’t buy her cd, but can’t deny her singing quality!!). This season is bad enough without a contestant as exciting as Adam, so fat Mike & Arron must go home the next 2 weeks, don’t make the final stage of the show even more dull & anti-climax.
yahooooo!Siobhan gone!
Thank goodness that screaming chick is GONE! Now, there are only decent singers remaining.
Big Mike can easily win this year. Anybody who denies his gifted vocal talent is a deaf a$$ whose opinion isn’t worth snot.
No, Mike is nothing nice to look at. He needs to lose some weight for real. But if AI is about true vocal ability, Mike Lynche, Crystal and Lee DeWyze all have a gift that could make money down the line.
The only thing I would buy from Soybean is a ticket to her high school musical.
next to go mike.the thing with Siobhan, is her personality somehow it doesnt seem right,a bit weird and those scary tatoo.Big mike will be next to go, he should be a bouncer than a singer!
Ummmm, Janelle. You need to check yourself, hon. You’ve got a lot of nerve talking down to people on here about poor spelling and grammar.
I counted about 5 misspells in your long-a$$, arrogant comment. Example: you wrote “critic,” but the correct term in your context would be “critique.” That you don’t know the difference tells me not to take your backward opinion seriously.
I’m through with AI this season. Siobhan was the only reason I watched each week. The judges threw away their only save too early on Big Mike. He’s a competent enough generic singer but the only less Idol material than him now is Aaron. I hope Crystal wins but I’ll have to see it on the news; I’m not watching another show or voting again. It sux when the most artistic one of the top 6 goes home this early. I was looking at a Sibohn, Crystal, Lee top three. Best of luck to you Sibohn, with the right manager you’ll blow the sox off any of the remaining 5 in a real career.
I already expected that to happen…she may have a good voice, but she can’t take commnent!!
I will miss Siobhan…I loved that girl! I so wish it had been Mike instead…he should have been gone weeks ago. Siobhan added spice to the show. You never knew what that girl was going to do. Mike is borning and predictable and I am just plain tired of him. He can’t come close to Siobhan’s talent. I can’t belive Casey was in the bottom two. His performance was outstanding and to think Mike may be there longer than Casey is a joke. Come on America, get this right!
Sioban, I think is the best Idol contestant for season this season. She can render a song and reach a tune even co-equal/parallel the original singer. Lest us put this into argument, why not let other contestant sing the songs of Maria Carie, Ceilen Dion and Whitney Houston and we’ll see who among them can sing best. This is one good measurement of a good singer not only he/she can render a song at his/her rhythm but also can imitate the original rhythm. They we I looked at it, the judges, as if, they have their preference. Their remarks fluencies the votes. I felt, Simon is not fair to Siobhan. Look what the did to Adam, but see who’s familiar between him and the winner. I hope organizer should look into this matter, otherwise more audience will be constraint not to watch this program.
Siobhan should not have gone, should’ve been Mike. She was unique and added something to the contest. Now I guess we are left with all same staid contestants. Hopefully Lee will make it to the grand finale.
@ 158 You wanted a response? Here it is…. check your own spelling. Kris not Chris.
In a simple comparison, let other contestant sing those songs sung by Siabhon, we\ll see if they can render more than her, which among them render best.
im so sad siobhan was eliminated but guys please bear in mind that america casted their votes. why blame the show then?? i love siobhan in fact for me shes my idol but blaming the show for eliminating her and blaming the judges wont help. why not blame your friend or yourself for not voting..in this show america is the judge..the judges can / do give their comments but they cvan do anything once america decides right!
so vote! and stop blaming the show , the judges or anyone else..!
Sad to say that we can not vote because of jurisdiction preference. If only we can, for sure we will invite, encourage all our friends and family member to vote for Siobhan.
i also cant believe that mike is still there and casey is in bottom two! Please get this right, America…..let true talent be rewarded. Thank you.
I can’t believe Casey landed in the bottom 3! What happen America??? Is there a scum somewhere? Casey is the most fit to be the next American Idol…He’s got the talent coupled with greats looks and personality. Wake up America!
I don’t get all the negative comments about Big Mike. He’s Luther Vandross reincarnated (I said that weeks ago and FINALLY Kara said the same and Simon concurred). I know he won’t win, but give me a break. There is NO comparison between Aaron and Big Mike. (Unless you are discriminating on age or race).
VocalCoach (Post 96) has the elimination order nailed, IMHO. I agree totally. And while Siobhan had an appealing quirky style, she was inconsistent and prone to screaming. Personally, I won’t miss “Screaming Mimi” one bit. That being said, I bet she is a hellofa glassblower. She does have lungs!!
Its crazy that Siobhan is gone. She’s the only one that makes me watch the show. I have never loved a contestant before just as much as I love her. I can see in her not only her singing but something much deeper than that. I can see a very vibrant person in her, somebody who takes on challenges, handles herself in a classy way, stands through her own conviction,uniquely lovable and loving at the same time. I cannot remember a time when the judges gave her any constructive criticism.When she ended up as the top 6 finisher, she did it on her own, not with the help of any of the judges. I believe that something really good will come her way. America is wrong…deeply wrong. However in Siobhan,I can see an international star as other countries appreciate her better. That being said, I believe that she’ll be bigger than the remaining 5 contestants. She’ll be touring America and then the world. She’s an inspiration to me!!
Casey has the looks, personality, humility and voice and style to be an Idol! An idol is someone one looks up to…..not only a good voice is sufficient although yes, its a singing competition…but the Idol must have the whole package…Look at Carrie Underwood..now she is someone who had the whole package..so now it is CASEY’s turn…VOTE FOR CASEY!!!
i dont understand why Sibon does not take advice not to scream week after week….so after she got voted off, i understood perfectly. 🙂 That if you keep doing what you shouldnt, you got to pay for it.
wow. siobhan was eliminated yesterday? she’s such a good singer. i thought for some time that she’ll land on the top 3. well, actually she is on my top 3 list. she’s a great singer, isn’t she? and if i was to pick who would be eliminated first before her, it should have been the other contestants who had not clearly shown their uniqueness from the very start of the competition. the result was a mistake!
YAWNS…?Since Siobhan is gone,just skip everything and announce that Crystal is the winner.
Oh please,all the guys suck big time.
Why did most of the girls left so early??
Any of the girls who left earlier on,can beat them.Examples>Lacey Brown,Lily Scott,Katelyn Epperly
I can’t believe how few people are discussing why Aaron is still in the competition. He hits many “pitchy” notes, is totally boring, and said he sang that for his mother. Yuck, I have 2 sons, and seriously, if they said that on public television, I would have to wonder about them. What teen ager in their right mind thinks that?
i think america didn’t vote for her because they have seen that she wasn’t really a versatile singer.
The past weeks, most renditions she gave was not even “WOW THAT’S GREAT” if you would care to review all of her performances. (Can’t even get over on how she messed up Through the Fire.)
I have nothing against Siobhan, i believe she has great & unique skill but it’s not good that she always would have to shout on top of her lungs just to achieve a “WOW PERFORMANCE”
It’s Siobhan’s time to leave. She was showing nothing new.. And if the people really wanted her, they should have voted for her. But the thing is, I guess they have grown tired of her shouting.
Hi all
American idols are a great show, all of the contestants left, are good singers,everybody’s
got their own personaltiy and unique voice,and all of you that ‘s critizising Aaron Kelly, he’s good, only 16, and a voice like that, mabye he wont win, but he made it so far, and he’s still young and shy but watch this space
don’t stop watching and vote… You go Aaron…
I am really sad to see her go she has a great voice 4 a white girl it’s so rare to find a good and powerfull voice as her’s.Siobhan you rocked girl no doubt, it’s so unfair!
Its unfair for her, its obvious that she was good enough than big mike. I like her shes good singer and shes also sweet.
hutaena. bat natanggal si siobhan? wla kwenta american idol! Mabulok sana kayo. kasama ang mga jejemons.! pakyu!
casey james is the best! He’s got it all. and he’s HOT. Give me chills everytime he’s singing those sweet songs :)) Love love love!
Yeah, Aaron kelly is good but i think he should no longer be in the top 4.
Or big mike. why? coz i see the same him every week. Yes he’s good but supposedly, he’s out of the show.
My top 2 is Casey and Crystal. Yes, CC all the way. As to Lee? yeah he’s been great, but not the winning type for me. He has never ruled one Idol night.
It’s all for now. I still don’t know. Time will tell. 🙂
crystal should be eliminated, she’s the weakest of the night. I’m tired of her. She’s not humble. Tss
Why was Siobhan eliminated….she is starting to get her groove back and she was eliminated! American Idol is going into the dumps and FOX is responsible!!! It was good with Kelly, Ruben, Fantasia, Carrie, Taylor, and Jordin….these last few have made me rethink American Idol (David,Kris,and whoever wins this 1)…I hope American Idol sinks into the abyss of Television Hell after Simon leaves…Ellen and Kara messed the show all up…My picks are Crystal and Lee to win (hate Aaron and Casey)
Vocal Coach….The only problem with what you said is this, it is supposed to be America who gets what they want now. You said “They are looking for someone…..” Are you saying the judges are deciding who stays and who goes? Hmmmm. As far as downloading music goes, I haven’t downloaded any AI music since Archy won two years ago. Before that I bought CD’s of Kelly Clarkston, And I also bought Ruben Studard and Clay Aiken’s AI single at the same time. I liked both of those final performances. There isn’t anything to buy this season. All of these songs can be found performed better by other artists already. I was pulling for Siobhan but I wouldn’t even bother to download anything of hers. Not much talent this year I’m afraid.
I cried when i heard that she had to go. This entire household was going for her. I really hope that she does great in the near future. I will be buying her cd for sure.
To Siobhan you were the best sorry to see you go. I knew Siobhan was going to be picked to leave even before Isaw the show because she was a danger to Crystal who Simon Cowel picked to win AI as he knows the men are never going to beat Crystal The votes are rigged folks that is how they make their money from. Now Siobhan is out I wont be watching AI ever again here in Australia unless they change the stupid way of voting WHY dont they use computer voting where you can only vote from your computer ONCE ONLY and you number your vote from best to worst BYE Siobhan you were the best and I will buy your CDs if they come out in Australia
Siobhan debía ganar por talento, es una cantante extraordinaria. El jurado gastó el voto para salvar a Mike injustamente. Parece como hace 3 años cuando aliminaron a la gran Melinda Doolittle y nos quitaron la alegria de escucharla.
I think that Siobhan was eliminated correctly,that was good ,but the singing makes me furious(it is like chatting like a bird).Crystal week was like a bar that we saw on the performances,good luck for her,but why mike is save first this week(feline)?
Again, I’m glad she is gone. I think the next to to will be Mike and Arron not necessarily in that order. The last three(Chrystal, Lee & Casey) should be an intesting and awsome show. I hope Lee for sure gets the win, not to sure about the other two. I think they are both great. Anyway, Siobhan should have been gone along time ago.
I LOVE SIOBAN. she is the contestant I LOVE MOST. i love her aura anf specially her voice. why she is the one eliminated?
siobhan is the best singer in AI, she creates an impact everytime she sings, i thought siobhan and crystal will be the top 2.
i am a fan of tim urban and siobhan but unfortunately, they were eliminated. so ill go for LEE Dywyze(David Cook look-alike and sings like Kris Allen….
I hate to see Siohban leave. We all have our own tastes in music and thats fair enough. I just think Mike or Aaron should have left first. I dont understand how Mike was going home 1 week and the judges save him and he is now still there. So the judges do sway the vote sometimes. I agree with the comments about sometimes I dont think our votes even matter. Last year confirms that. Adam Lambert had that win and we all know it. I can honestly say he is an humble person and sincerely a nice guy. If anyone ever deserved that title he did. Siohban also is a nice sincere person with a big voice and one thing for sure she didnt put you to sleep.
I agree with Destiny’s comment. Adam Lambert WON AI last year, there is no doubt about that. And that makes me worry about the outcome this year, as I am worried that the real winner will once again be denied the rightful title. Here is the sign to look for: if Mike Lynch does not go home next week, you know for certain this show is rigged. After all, you have Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell both making most their money as music producers. Do you actually think the would let someone they want to keep stuck to their AI contract to be voted off? Randy Jackson has his eye for some project or other on Mike….you can just see it. Adam Lambert lost because a week before that last show, some tabloid magazine came out with the news that he was gay. Who Cares!!! He Kicks Ass!!
But that is why he did not win, and it had nothing to do with national phone voting. It had to do with which musician would make more money for the two male judges on the show. Finally, noticed no one has mentioned anything about Ellen D. as the new judge. Do you like her and think she is doing a good job….or is she Randy’s puppet?
I have been waiting for this night for the past 3 weeks. I’m happy. she was starting to bore me. she was all over the place and screams at the end of a song. I’m happy
The best singer in the contest has left!! She was the only one I wanted to see each week. I
really believe she will have the biggest career
in the future. It is ridiculous for people to judge her singing on being “quirky”, her style of clothes, her ability to hit notes that none of the others could ever reach, and her willingness to stand up for herself when week after week she was criticized by Kara and Simon who obviously have their favorites. From what I have read here from the posts, many would agree with me.
To All the Comments Above,
Just for the record I read ever ones comments. I am still upset about Siobhan but I will just wait until her CD comes out and buy it. I probably will not buy anyone elses. In the past I only bought Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert and David A. Christmas CD. I did buy Kris Allen because I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but it was boring as I figured.
Its just a shame that America/Fox don’t like different…. sometimes different is better!!!
JMHO
POOR Siobhan.. Its unfair for her I agree compare to the rest, its obvious that she was WAY better than big mike (SHERK)annoying. As for Crystal ..My eyes are always on her percing..which I find disgusting AND disturbing she may not be beautiful but at least she is not helping with her farmer look or camping fire site with just a wake up look terrible hair dirty stylish with her guitare to hide the body. when I watch this AI season it’s like watching the cartoon…SHERK, HEIDI, HANSEL AND GRETEL..This season none of these singers are really outstanding I mean OUTSTANDING to become a star. They have no personality, no eagerness that Adam Lambert has to pop up and push the machine. They have to have the guts and the drive to become a star and they are too Low profile (They are all forgettable taking Simon’s word).
JT708. I really don’t care if her tatoo is a “famous piece of artwork” I think it’s a shame she would put it in ink on her body. She has such beautiful skin and the tatoo stands out too much. You’re right JT708, I am an old man, not 60’s or 70’s, but almost and I don’t believe people should mark up their bodies with ink or stick pins through their skin for adornment. You can wear jewelry for that. I guess I’m old school to think this way but the children of today have lost their way and lost the basic traditions of their families. Just my opinion.
What is wrong with the American public. Sending Siobhan Magnus home was a big mistake. She is the best contestant, plain and simple. American Idol does it again! To me Siobhan is the American Idol 2010.
This is the worst year for talent. I have to laugh at the judges pretending these people have talent. Ya right. The top two should be Lee and Casey and even they are week but I think marketable. I hate that Crystal dread locks come on not this century. How could they have pick such bad girl talent that they are so out numbered. Good thing Ellen makes jokes half the time because she can’t keep a straight face on how bad the talent is.
Sorry, Can’t warm to Crystal at all. Good voice yes, but she’s arogant & has about as much personality as a wet rag. She also looks like she could do with a good bath.
Finally shes out! Yahoooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Go MommySox!!!!!
Lee is also good!!!!
Bye Bye Magnus!!!!
@V1K1… sherk or u meant shrek?
Idol bulletin….. People Magazine has just named Adam Lambert as one of the Most Beautiful People In The World. No surprise there. Congratulations Adam.
@Canyon…..Thanks for the info……At least People Magazine got it right!!!!!
My congrats to Adam!
Siobhan was my favorite – the most unique, talented, bold singer of the group. I always looked forward to see her performance – she took chances and was not afraid to follow her instincts – and she had the most incredible voice, by far, of this group.
And it didn’t hurt that she was beautiful in a unique way.
Crystal is talented, but much too predictable, I’m afraid. She is like a watered down version of Janis Joplin/Bonnie Raitt/Melissa Etheridge.
With Siobhan gone, the show suddenly becomes much more boring -as in Casey, Mike, Crystal, Aaron (at least Lee is somewhat different).
I’ve no doubt Siobhan will do well professionally.
Hoping Mike and Aaron are the next to go.
i hate you mike
ai is a farce,how many times did simon say negative comments siobhans way,he only praised 2 performances.paint it black,and any man of man.and how mant times did he praise crystal,and only dogged her once.now granted ceystal is slightly overall better singer than siobhan is right now,but siobhan brings so much more to her performances than crytsal ever imagined.also kara was pretty much in cohoots with simon.this show is fixed,and i think anyone who is a big fan of siobhans should boycott this show.as far as siobhan she was on ellen today and sang house of the rising sun,and needless to say recieved a stanging ovation.she will be on david letterman next,and then she will be on good morning america next week.all u siobhan fans keep supporting siobhan.
i like her voice though…but the screaming thing every song is not really good. someone must coach her on how to do that right in a song.
hope to see her improvement because i like her style.
a good singer cant be measured by screaming. she need to know what song would fit on her yelling method.
Guys, do the math, ok ? Who amongst the top 6 has (1) the looks; (2) vocal range; (3) showmanship; (4) charisma; (5) uniqueness; (6) real star quality; and at the same time, interesting to watch and not boring ? None except Siobhan Magnus has all of the above qualities. She is as easy to promote as Adam Lambert and as to whether America get it wrong by giving her the least votes, sure, afterall, we voted for Bush for 2 consecutive terms !
One other comment re AI voting system, they should not have allowed one phone number for voting over 10 times (few families have over 10 members). This would reflect the true votes and real support for the future recording artists, afterall, end of the day, one person is unlikely to buy multiple CDs of the same album, right ?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
I wanted siobhan in the final with crystal and Lee
this cant be trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
this sucks mike and casey should go home nexttttt and i hope peolple vote for the best, and week after week crystal is the best
Personally we all feel Mike should have been eliminated. He is so mundane. he has a good voice, but just mundane. Very glad Casey stayed on. Don’t think he should have been in bottom 3. Think Siobhan has a great voice. She does have the ‘scream’ at the end that is not the ‘note’ that Adam hits so that does cause a little irritant, but all in all she is good, has personality, she has a willingness to work on herself and keep on keepn on
The judges remarks seem to make some that should have been gone. They gave up their save way too early with this group. Whether you like Siobhans, voice, or not, she clearly had the makings of a star. The judges comments led to thinking she was definitely ok , this week. She should have been in the last 3……. The show has lost its way and that must be why Simon is leaving………………….
I agree with all the comments saying the show needs a face-lift– a better voting system, better judges, and eliminate the save. “Idol Gives Back” could donate a lot of money to their cause by not having so many guest performances that drag out the show and give us all a ticket to Snore City. I like a lot of #11 Chris’ ideas about revising the show. I liked it better when they had guest judges, instead of mentors who tell just about everyone they’re great without giving much constructive criticism. If you believe, as I do, that the show is rigged, then one answer is to stop voting completely. A big drop in the number of votes is a sure way to show AI that we’re sick of being played for fools. Lower the curtain and put this show out of its misery. It’s run its course.
maybe not even the judges have deciding power? maybe it’s all about who’s got the money to promote whoever they like???
I agree with “giselle’s” comments 100%!! You know…if everyone agreed not to vote next week, I just bet it would not send a message to AI in any way. Why? Because I don’t think any of our calls are truly being counted in the first place. There is a blog idol poll taken after every week’s performance, and it represents a good cross-section of the typical AI voter. If you did not see the results of the online blog vote for last week….62% said Mike should go, and next was Aaron. Just wait and see. As the show comes to a close….when there are only two contestants left and Seacreast (sp?) starts to tell us how many people voted…..I bet he will claim that around 55 million (or more) voters called the show. Give me a break!!! I like the saying that: if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck….then it is a duck.” Well, regarding AI: “if it looks like our voting counts, and the internet votes clearly show that the odds highly favor (as they should) that Mike needs to leave (and that would stop putting me to sleeep)..then AI is “fixed”. Adam won last year, but we were told he did not!! They admit that Clay Aiken won in season 2, but gave it to Rueben, and now we are to believe Siobhan got the least amount of votes? Well…just like the duck story: people, stop voting!! This is AI: and the “fix” is in!!
Every time someone gets voted off, their fans start thinking up reasons why the vote had to be wrong, or they say the show is rigged. Well, there were just not enough votes for Siobhan, and that’s all. No, the show is not rigged. That is not allowed. Remember what happened a while back when a game show was rigged and they got in trouble? …Some on here try to say that Mike is not a good singer because they don’t like him, but that is incorrect. He has a good voice… Just because we like some and not others it is no reason to put down the ones we do not prefer. These are all young people starting out, trying to do their best to make it. They are not supposed to be professionals, so don’t expect them to be. If you do not want to watch AI, then don’t watch, but I, among many, enjoy it, whoever wins, and hope it stays on the air for those of us who want to watch. The rest of you complainers, just change the station.
Disappointed she is gone. Wish that show pony Mike would go -he sings the same every week, and is such a show off. Can’t stand him – the judges were wrong for saving him.
Hmm. I think the judges wasted their save on Mike.. Siobhan was a good singer..but the screaming at the end of songs was really getting monotonous though. Anyway, with Siobhan gone, my highest hopes would go to Lee or Casey. 😀
# 228 joanne, you said it girl!!!
No fun in AI with out SIO. Neway gud luk Lee.
Siobhan was really great, I will miss her. Mike should have gone instead.
why siobhan ?in text vote was micheal lynche got lower votes then how come he’s not the one eliminated?
i like them all cause they tried their best and that is what the competition is all about. i have one favorite in AI. It is Casey James. He is very good with the guitar, good personality i.e. he is tall and sings well too. It is correct that he has the whole package to name him an american idol. there is one there who is also good but he is short and i dont have a particular appreciation for an entertainer who is short and no expression on the face when he sings. i dont want to mention him though he is popular but the thing is he hasnt emote the feelings of his songs unlike Casey James he can do it well. And that is how a song should be presented. Thanks guys!
dun get me wrong guys…just becuz aaron is innocent,that does not make him the next clay aiken..he could be the next archuleta(archuleta has innocent looks too)..and since he’s going for country he will go far…how many young country singers are there?and aaron is only 16!!!he has a voice of no other..i wanna see aaron and lee in the final..both of them are the qualified ones~!gogogo aaron..america pls vote for him!!!i cant vote cuz im for asia…sigh
A disgrace. Siobhan is one of the better singers. There was something wrong with the voting. This should be addressed. AI did this last year with Adam and they did it again this year. Revolt!! Boycott AI until they do a recount.
Crystal was the worst but i think its about time mike leaves the competition.How could she leave before mike or Casey
@ Becky 253… i like Casey also, his voice and guitar playing… he looks like a star
my favorite is Lee (the one u don’t like?)… i like his voice, his evoting thru sound, his soulfulness and his creativity in music & sound
sorry i meant to say “emoting” in 257
After viewing Siobhan’s performance over and over again,I thought that it was such a shame that she has been eliminated.
Anyway,I’m from Singapore.I am really sad about the fact that she left and I guess I won’t watch the show ever again.I think that the voting system in american idol should change,or else it will lose many audience.
Every week,I look forward to see Siobhan perform.She knows how to present herself on stage and she is always fresh.I will always be a fan of hers.
I really don’t know why she has to be eliminated.She is amazing.She can make an old-fashioned song sounds so modern.Anyway,good luck Siobhan.I will definitely purchase your album when it is out.
We all saw it coming
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY CRUEL AND A LOW THING TO DO WHEN RYAN TOLD SIOBHAN “LET ME ESCORT YOU TO THE COUCH” THEN DUMPED HER IN THE BOTTOM THREE CATEGORY WHAT A PUNK!! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW THAT MADE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING FEEL THEN TOLD HER AT THE END OF THE SHOW TO GIVE SIMON A HUG AFTER HE HAD BEEN DUMPING ON HER ALL SEASON LONG!! I THINK ELLEN WAS THE ONLY SINCERE PERSON IN THE END. I HOPE WHEN IT’S MIKE’S TURN TO LEAVE IF EVER HE DOES I THINK IT’S RIGGED TO KEEP HIM ON AND AI IS AFRAID TO GIVE HIM THE BOOT BUT I HOPE HE SMOTHERS RYAN AND SIMON WITH HIS MAN BOOBS !!!
I just adore crystal.please let me know ifu like her.i just wanna knaow that im not alone…plz
@ Rmond 262, i like her confidence… already a veteran singer at 24, she seems somewhat set in her ways and that to me is a big drawback
Since after Carrie Underwood, the best and most promising singer never win because it would be cheaper to sign them on. Adam Lambert would have cost at least twice as much if he had won last year. This year. Siobhan at No#6 will be a windfall.
I guess I have a different taste in music than mainstream America. Siobhan Magnus was the only contestant who intrigued me. I think that all of the top ten contestants have had strong voices (with the possible exception of Casey, who is an awesome guitarist, but I really have never witnessed his vocal talent). Each remaining contestant is fine in their own genre, but each has only one style. Siobhan seemed to cross over into anything. Sure — some of her high notes seemed like “screaming”, perhaps inappropriate to the genre of the evening, but they were on key. The judges seem to want to “pigeonhole” the contestants (i.e.Kara — “I don’t know who you are.”). Some (of the judges)are record producers. I would hope that they could figure out how to promote an artist who is not just one genre, who can adapt to anything. I see Siobhan Magnus that way. In a way, some of the judges didn’t know what to make of her, and they “planted seeds” to that effect with the viewers/voters.
I look forward to hearing more from Siobhan Magnus in another venue.
I’m sooooooo sad Siobhan left she was almost my favorite, Casey was one of my favorites too. Mike shoulda left; people vote for him bc they feel bad for his wife and him i mean its sad i liked him bc of that but he can’t sing as well as the others casey isn’t THAT good-looking is he?
How come you guys don’t like Siobhan? Just because you don’t like that genre of music doesn’t mean you don’t like whoever sings that kind! She was awesome! Loved her glasses, hair and outfits! CRAZY ALL THE WAYYYY!!!!!!
I felt bad for Siobhan. The girl can sing and it was so obvious the judges wanted her to go. This will be my last year to watch AI. I have never seen the judges so biased. It’s all about Mike & Crystal. I wish they would both go. They should call Mike “Big Ego”, and because the judges so like Crystal; I want her to go (don’t like her). I’m voting for Lee. He is so humble with a great voice and nice to look at too.
I don’t understand why the judges were so harsh with Siobhan. No matter how well she did, it was never good enough for them. Why don’t the judges just stop the show now and declare Crystal the winner. THAT’S WHO THEY WANT TO WIN! Because of that, I refuse to vote for her. It’s Lee for me!!!
this is my first,and last blog on this site.
my favorite singer,siobhan was eliminated so i guess i might add my 2 cents,and vent like all of her other fans.most fans can agree the girl had enormous talent,she had big vocals,crazy outfits,nose ring,tatoos,different hairstyles,funny taste in shoes,or boots,big smile,strange personality.but in the end,you add all this up,and whats left is this:a super young,attractive,female artist who loves to perform,and sing her heart out for all to love,and enjoy.she is siobhan evelyn magnus.
She has my wife’s name and our son’s birthday… we send her our love and best wishes for a bright future and lots of happiness.
Aaron and Mike should of been booted before Siobhan..why the judges saved Mike I have no idea..I thought Casey had his best night…Crystal wasnt very good but got by oh well all will leave before its over and one will be left its up to the people and not the judges so vote for your favorite…
I feel sorry for poor siobhan. AI was not good enough for her. But I am glad we found a new talent through this show. I may not watch AI again and I don’t wana listen boring-to-death mama sox/sux.
IT IS THE SADDEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED ON AMERICAN IDOL…..PROPABLY THE SUCKEST DECISION EVER AMDE….IT IS SO SO SO WRONG…..SIOHBAN WAS SPPOSED TO WIN….SHE HAD THE BEST 1000% GOOD VOCALS WHILE THE OTHERS WERE OF -2%…..AMERICA AGAIN CHOOSES WRONG….SIOBHAN THE BOMB!!!….PLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW EVERYONE THE REAL IDOL….I WITH A MASTERS DEGREE IN MUSIC PRODUCTION WOULD HAVE MADE HER A SHINING STAR IF I HAD THE OPPURTUNITY!!!
Crystal REALLY REALLY REALLY SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!! AND LEE ALSO…..SIOBHAN MADE ME WATCH AMERICAN IDOL….I LIVE IN SAMOA AND I WATCH THIS HORRIBLE DECISION BY THE VOTERS…OUR NATION IS SO DISAPPOINTED…..SHE SHOULD HAVE MADE THE BEST IDOL EVER…..THE GREATEST VOCALS THIS YEAR….I WILL NEVER WATCH AMERICAN IDOL AGAIN BEACAUSE OF THIS!!! EVER!!
USUALLY ALL AMERICAN IDOL WINNERS NEVER BECOME SUPERSTARS………SIOBHAN WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE….VERY UNIQUE ARTIST….CRYSTAL AND LEE AND THE OTHERS ARE JUST ANOTHER COPY OF ARTISTS AROUND NOWADAYS…..SIOBHAN IS SO UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT FROM NEW ARTISTS…
I totally agree and I doubt I will watch the show again. (I will be interested to hear who eventually wins, however.) I don’t thing AI was the right vehicle for Siobhan. I’m thinking of it this way, though — What an opportunity for a 20 year old (this holds true for any of the contestants, win or lose) to showcase their talent! Everyone except one will be eliminated in the next 3 weeks. Siobhan will go on the summer tour and then will not be tied to an American Idol contract (which I understand takes 50% of your earnings for 5 years or some such thing). Yeah, so you don’t get the publicity that an AI winner gets, but she can be true to herself and her music, too.
i think she do well and it’s time to go =)
coze this is the Game
Should have been the fat personal trainer
How onn earth could Siobhan, do Americans only vote for pretty boys’, Casey is USELESS AS IS MIKE, I know SA votes sucked but gee whizz America you have made a huge mistake that girl could sing and such a personality. Very very sad indeed is Casey going to win because his pretty cause sure as h*ll can’t sick and neither can the bouncer…………….
Siobhan was awesome, here in South Africa, she has a huge folowing, she sings like and angel, looks like a fairy cross rocker, what else do you want from and idol??/ She was perfect and America made a big mistake, although I know she will get a record deal, Simon loves her so it is on the cards for sure, go Siobhan, you rock chick
for all the siobhan fans out there.did u see siobhan play piano,and sing halo,by beyonce.thats a rare treat u dont want to miss.she sounds like a superstar,also i had no idea she even played piano.she is all over you tube;siobhan love you ,you are going placesmno doubt about it,besides you are to good for idol.they want some cookie cutter type dont rock the boat mold,and,you were never meant to be that type of performer.
Yeah Yeah for all Siobhan fans………..
You got the whole package girl even going onto Ellen’ show. YOU GOING TO MAKE IT BIG YOU ARE ONE GUTSY LADY!!!!!!!!!!GOOD LUCK
I’m so sad that Siobhan has been voted off. She was the best. I don’t know if I can continue to watch. I thought Casey (goatboy) that’s what he sounds like
I agree. I think aaron should have left b4 her. but i also think Lee should go. I didnt even hear bout him until the top 9. i LOVE Mike!!! Siobhan was amazing and beautiful. that was a bad choice
Why did every body delikes big mike He’s good but siobhan deserves to go home b/c she was terrible singing one of my favorate song
It is so difficult now, the remaining contestants in my view are all idols, they are so good, including Siobhan. I still think the one to watch will be Crystal.
The songs of Frank Sinatra as mooted for this week is possibly a bit off. I prefer spark and melody to emotive crooning. Of course Simon would say that I do not know what I am talking about! I may be in for a surprise though, a twist to rock or something more lively may manifest.
CRYSTAL AND LEE AND THE OTHERS ARE JUST ANOTHER COPY OF ARTISTS AROUND NOWADAYS…..SIOBHAN IS SO UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT FROM NEW ARTISTS…
UNIQUENESS IS WHAT WE ALL EXPECT TODAY….JUST LIKE HOW UNIQUE LADY GAGA IS….I WOULD PRAY FOR TO MAKE GREAT MUSIC…..SHE COULD BE A LEGEND LIKE WHITNEY, MARIAH, CELINE….U KNOW….THE BIG VOCALS PEOPLE…
I, along with so many people do not believe that she got the lowest votes that week..
1. Dialidol predicted her on the top spot that week..
2. She got the biggest or second biggest fan base this season.
3. She even got the support of the VFTW…an anti-idol group
4. Her fans were able to raise around 6000 dollars in the idol gives back campaign..slightly behind Team Adam and Team David Cook.
5. Most online polls had her on the top or second spot. Some of these polls backed down after her elimination.
6. Her hometown support was massive as they gather in big town venues to watch and vote.
7. She’s got a great international support..
Glad Big Mike is still there ! I will miss Siobhan, but Mike definitely should still be there. Mike has so much more
I WON’T BE WATCHING THIS WEEK FRANK SINATRA SONGS…GIVE ME A BREAK NOTHING AGAINST BLUE EYE’S MUSIC BUT IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY BORING BESIDES WHAT’S BIG EGO MIKE GOING TO DO HE WON’T BE SINGING A GIRL SONG TO MAKE CARA WEEP THIS WEEK IT’S GOING TO BORE ME TO TEARS SO I THINK I’LL SKIP THIS WEEK’S SHOW AND KEEP UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS INSTEAD!!!!
we love you siobhan we will wait your CD. this show is boring without you&IWILL NOT WATCHING IT ANY MORE
hate you simon so much
Guillermo, I agree, I personally think Siobhan going home was crazy, lets hope America will not regret this voting and end up with Mike or Casey. What a joke!!!!!!!We saw it happen in SA last year and the public knew the Idol voting was wrong so with all the hard earned sms money you vote almost down the drain they ended up making both Idols A WINNER, how pathetic is that? Been following AI and going to miss Siobhan but she will make it big, has a big heart and even bigger voice. Good Luck America.
Simon needs to be given his due. He usually knows what he is talking about.
Joe #295 i agree – Simon is good in spotting talent and he’s en pointe.
Wow what a performance. She is so much talented.
Having grown up in a recording studio and done engineering for many albums this season SUCKS!! Siobhan was the one bright spot. Everybody else is so boring. Siobhan will have a record deal and go a long way. To those that thought she had an attitude and did not listen I beg to differ. She listened to what they were saying to everybody and went forward. They kept saying the girls were gonna kick butt and they were the first to leave. I like Crystal but it is suppose to be a total package and Siobhan definetly wins that. As far as I am concerned I am through watchin AI. It has been so slow this season and then all those “guest” performers who I could care less about. I will say Shania did the best job mentoring! I will be there to buy Siobhan’s CD.
Wow I didn’t know Siobhan knows piano. Love her even more now!
Siobhan was great. She didn’t deserve elimination. Rather Big Mike should have gone, didn’t deserve the save.
crystal S***KED this week and every other week. She is OVERRATED!!! She is too Proud and her performances are not so great. Her teeth are disgusting!!! Please AMERICA ypu dont want her as your IDOL…..
LEE and CASEY and AARON you guys are awesome…hope to see you 3 in TOP 3!!1
Yay! finally Siobahan is gone… I don’t understand why she has to shout and scream at the end of each performance; its just to cover up the fact that she’s not that a good singer… Vote for Casey! He’s AWESOMEE 🙂
I would wait for Siobhan Album and she has made her place in music world. AI is now so boring without her.
Ana, I too watched Idols gives back and it was a great for Africa, however, living in Africa is very complicated and with all due respect our people will not be tested for HIV, feel its degrading and they do not want to know their status, they have multiple partners and do not “culturally” believe in using condoms. I am not speaking for all of Africa but from a tiny spot in SA, where I have held the hand of an HIV+ patient while being dripped and yes he is still alive…The ARV’s have dreadful side effects and when they start getting really ill, their immune systems breaks down, they contact TB…. before getting a little better they simply stop using ARV’s. Very Black Pigmentation sets in and they are embarrassed, not all of them, I do not want to generalise. I cried bitterly for that innocent little girl with Annie Lennox. BUT WHEN/if at all is Africa going to stop being cultural and WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT AIDS IS REAL AND KILLS. Thank you Idols for giving back to Africa, and frig America how could you vote out the best AI contestant this season.
FAVORITE CHOICES ; CASEY AND LEE
DE ARGENTINA
Vote for Big Mike tonight. He shouldn’t go yet. Siobhan shouldn’t have left last week, but eventually she was going to get kicked off.
I do not question Big Mike’s vocal, in fact, all top 10 has great vocal, but Big Mike is really relly boring, and his song choice…., and not to mention his awkward side-to-side swinging…. If he doesn’t go this week, it must be the “bro” votes.
I think Siobhan should have stayed longer than Mike and Crystal…but that can’t happen because the judges have favored Mike and Crystal from day one. Crystal is a country western barroom singer and Mike should stick to being a night club bouncer in my opinion. The judges hated Katie and Siobhan from the beginning and the show isn’t worth watching anymore if it’s not going to be about talent and not favorites. Crystal will be the winner in the end…she will get her two front teeth!!!
Everyone knows Crystal is better then Siobhan. Big Mike is a really good singer and just a likable person. Katie needed to go. I guess we will find out soon who is going to be the American Idol. I think Aaron is going this week. Aaron has a good voice ~ just very young and needs to mature a little.
Siobhan had the pipes, uniqueness and raw talent of Adam Lambert. I personally believe they were the two best AI contestants ever. I wish them both amazing success as they so very much deserve it.
And no, I am not a punker, but am an old lady who will no longer be watching the show.
Siobhan, I’m so sad for you, you should have been in the top 3 – this week’s show was so boring without you. Would definitely buy your album here in the UK – keep rocking!
ALL YOU PEOPLE SUCK…. MIKE AND AARON WERE GREAT AND STILL ARE. CRYSTAL IS ALSO A GREAT SINGER AS WELL… YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO TASTE.. SIBOHAN WAS GOOD, BUT I WISH THAT CRYSTAL WOULD HAVE WON SINCE MY OTHER FAVS GOT ELIMINATED…… IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY MORE BAD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT MIKE, AARON OR CRYSTAL, THEN KEEP YOUR BAD TASTE TO YOURSELF…. LATE
LISTEN EVERYONE!!!
NO doubt SIOBHAN HAS A TALENT AND PLEASING PERSONALITY, THATS WHY CAPECODE AND MOST OF AMERICA LOVED HER.. SHE DESERVES TO REACH FAME!!! SHE”S AMAZING,… STILL, SHE’S MY SUPERSTAR!!!!!
