Others may be quite tone deaf.

*raises hand*

But I could still tell Camile is really not that good. Compared to many of those remaining, she voice just doesn;t have any power.

She sings better than all of us? That's the silliest post I've seen today, I actually sing very well, but I can see how through internet posts you can tell what we sing like, what's my sign? How long is my hair? *rolls eyes*

Camile couldn't hold a note if her life depended on it. She is horrible and I hope she goes soooooon.

I agree!!!! Camille couldnt hold down a note with an anchor!! Whether it is a nervous problem or lack of talent is irrelevant. The point is that now is the time to shine and she just aint doing the stuff! I am very disappointed that people like her get to linger in this competition because of her looks or ethnicity when other talented people (like Marque Lynche, Suzy Vulaca, and Tiara Purifoy) are denied the chance to succeed!

Camille is a complete waste of space! (Although she is better than Carrot top -John Stevens - and JPL by a long shot!) Get rid of all the jokers! This competition is becoming a pathetic popularity and pity contest, evident after last nights elimination!

Josh at least had 1 good week...and now he has a top 30 country hit (which is actually very good) and an album coming out. Camile hasn't had even one good performance. If Paula tells her again how great she is, I may have to vomit instead of the pancake waitress.

That is absolutely true...

If they are good enough, all they really need is one good week on American Idol to get noticed. I am sure that Amy will still get a record contract. Hopefully for country music...she was awesome at that!!

> the fodder people

Is that like the trolls?

I agree with the "fodder comment". It's still early. I think the top 5 is where we need to examine the true talent. We still got 9 weeks left. A LONG TIME! I think Miss Hudson should be the next to go in my opinion. She doesn't do too much for me (and her faces).

Safe...
Fantasia - I don't like her 'tude, but she has had some great performances

George - He hasn't had a bad performance yet in my opinion.

Jasmine - Consistently done well. She's got the cute factor to deal with as well.

In Between...
JPL - He has some flaws. Not that strong of a voice but has a strong strong following.

La Toya - She has been very very very consistent, but she hasn't really been the talk of the town. She's the forgotten contestant. Hopefully, since she was in the bottom 3 she will have some better luck with votes.

Diana - Doesn't do too much for me either. Sings the kind of song, but she does sing them well. I will be interested to see if she makes the top 5.

Danger...
Camile - She hasn't done too much at all in the performances. I thought her last performance has been her best since her audition, but even that wasn't good.

Johnny Red - It pains me to watch him do these different styles and when he did a song that fit his style, HE FORGOT THE WORDS!

Jennifer Hudson - I don't know. She doesn't do too much for me. She has awful facial expressions and I think needs to stay on her cruise ship.

5. That's a wildcard.

lol Hawaiians must be voting like crazy. They should limit to 1 vote per phone line. okay, maybe 3.

if voting based on who's cute, why not Diana? I don't think Camille or Jasmine is cute at all. Jasmine kinda looks cheesy to be honest.

I think Amy is cute, just not in a dolly girly way

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but doesn't it kind of make sense that the Hawaian contestants place well? I mean, from what I know of the cellular world (which admittedly is not so much) there's one switch carrying network traffic for the islands, so the voters from Hawaii don't have to compete with many callers/text messagers to get their votes counted. Seems like there would be less chance for congestion/busy signals for those people as opposed to people in the greater 48, where much larger cities in much larger states have to share the network with other cities/states. Maybe I'm oversimplifying, I'm no expert, but it seems to me like if AT&T is a grocery store than the voters in Hawaii are sittin' pretty in the express lane.

I don't know about you guys.

But I think Camille has been performing well in the last 3 weeks. Maybe not as good as Latoya or Fanatasia. But definitely a lot better than John S, JPL, Bleah, Amy, and Matt.

I think the two best are very obvious, and that's Latoya & Fantasia.
Camille is the best looking girl in the competition, she's beautiful but she can't sing, and Paula refering to her as a new version of Lauryn Hill is just ridiculous. Jasmine isn't that cute, but she has a pretty good voice. George is pretty good. I like Jennifer, but she does make some weird facial expressions, but she has a good voice. JPL and john stevens are brutal plain and simple. Diana is also pretty good. Amy deserved to at least be in the top five. My order of the remaining contestants:

1. Latoya
2. Fantasia
3. George
4. Jennifer
5. Diana
6. Jasmine
7. Camille
8. JPL
9. John

And once again Latoya & Fantasia are FAR better than everyone else in the competition.

Well muddawg, that's your opinion, here's mine:
1. Latoya
2. Jennifer
3. Diana
4. George
5. JPL
6. Fantasia
7. John
8. Jasmine
9. Camille
That's the order of singing talent for me but when it comes down to the best all around, personality, star quality, confidence and talent, it's JPL all the way, then Latoya, George and Diana, the rest are just boring.

I completely agree with you. I just knew that either Camille or John Stevens would be leaving, but they weren't even in the bottom 3. IMO neither of those girls should have been down there this week.

Camille still being in it still annoys the heck out of me. I don't know what people are voting for. She's just there. I can't hear her half of the time, she has no personality on stage and she always looks jittery and nervous, like she's gonna throw up or something.

People bought a heck of a lot of Paula Abdul albums too. Sorry that's opposite. Camile looks like she'll puke, but Paula makes me wanna puke! lol

America was right-on booting Leah... the next two bootees (Matt and Amy) certainly weren't going to win the competition, but they deserved to stick around longer than they did, as there are worse performers who have outlasted them.

Here is what I think the boot order ought to have be on AI3:

First Bootee: Leah LaBelle
Second Bootee: John Stevens
Third Bootee: Camille Velasco
Fourth Bootee: John Peter Lewis
Fifth Bootee: Matt Rodgers
Sixth Bootee: Jennifer Hudson
Seventh Bootee: Fantasia Barrino
Eighth Bootee: Amy Adams

I think the final four should be: Diana DeGarmo, LaToya London, George Huff, and Jasmine Trias.

What do y'all think?

If any of these four gets booted before Camille and the Johns, the show should be boycotted!
