SHE DID NOT DESERVE TO GO HOME i repeat DID NOT DESERVE TO GO HOME……. she should have gone to top 4 or 3……..she didn’t pick the wrong song that was the perfect song for HER unless you want her to sing a boring song like all i ask of you………..I WILL MISS CARLY 4ever…..

What an utterly big joke AI has become. I thought this was about true talent, not a popularity contest. Jason, should have left along time ago. has no range or depth compared to the top 5 left. sad sad sad..Carly on the other hand was proof of how screwed up American Idol has become. She had true talent and appeal..

I agree with you on the fact that Brooke and Jason should have been the bottom two. I really liked Jason at the beginning but I feel like every week we get the same thing from him… And I like Brooke as well but she’s been struggling the last few weeks… I’m gonna miss Carly

Debbie,
I couldn”t have said it better myself. I don”t think there is much talent this year. DavidA is a very POOR substitute for Clay and the rest don”t compare to Melinda, Doughtry, Fanyasia etc. It is very disappointing.I don”t care who wins because their careers will be a splash in the pan. AKayra, I do believe Syesha has found her nitch on Broadway. She was the only one with any stage presence or charisma..

Maybe be the weird one here, but no one on this year’s AI has blown me away. IMO this year lacks the talent of previous years. Not once have I been “wowed” like previous years with Jordin and Melinda, Carrie and Bo, Diana and Fantasia, Clay, Kim and Ruben and Kelly. IMO, have not seen a performance that equals the talent of any of these. DA sounds the same every week and even tho he is cute as can be and is talented, he always looks like he is in pain when he sings. I think Carly has a good voice and with the right song would sound great but there is just something about her that I didn’t like. Brooke – sorry, don’t see anything there. Jason – unique but should not be in the top 5. If I placed the top 5, it would be the Davids, Michael, Carly and Syesha. But that shows what I know. America obviously doesn’t agree. I do think the Davids are the best of the bunch and like DC the most.

BOO. Jason/Brooke are total losers. They can’t even sing their respective songs well, unlike Carly who did pretty good that time.
Why oh why did this happen?
Carly had a great singing voice. Without her, who will compete with David Cook? Its gonna be a sure win for him, unless David Archuleta pulls off a media scandal.

P.S. The reason why I think either David C or David A will (or should) take the Idol crown this year is because they are the only two this season who have been CONSISTENTLY good. And neither of them has been in the bottom 2. It’s all about consistency. They have been good in just about every show this season, except for maybe one a piece, which is more than the others can say. I still love Jason, though.

It was time for Carly to go. Someone has to leave! Why not her? Sure she has a powerful voice. But that’s it. There’s nothing unique about her. It’s all been done before. Big voice. Angry girl. Big tattoos. I had enough of her. Next?!

Yes, it should have been Brooke this week, but I have a feeling that middle America — who was previously voting for Kristy Lee Cook — helped keep Brooke in the competition. They didn’t have Kristy to vote for! So, instead they dialed in their votes for Brooke.

I think the final 3 will be the two Davids, and Jason. One of the Davids will win. It could be either one! They are both great vocalists. (My favorite is still Jason, but I know…I know…he is not a powerhouse singer. He is more like a Jack Johnson. But that’s why I like him so much! But I can agree that he should not take the crown. It should be either David C or David A.)

Carly definitely should not have gone home. She was the best, along with David C. that night. The worst were Brooke, who should have gone home, and David A.

Well, It’s sad to see Carly go…but what’s even sadder is that I’m not devastated. I wish she could have shown more of who she was over her stay with Idol. It was hard to like her since she barely showed who she was, which is a shame because her voice is great and has so much potential.

But I agree with some of you guys that either Jason or Brooke should have gone home. Although I really like Jason, I think there is so much tremendous singing talent this year that he simply must go soon. But, I’d take him over Brooke any day.
