Do you get hooked on this show every year? I like the new judges this year and I just love "Scotty" that deep voice.I saw that they are doing online voting this year but it is not open to Canadians,too bad because I never miss a show.

Most years I do get hooked. Last year was really the first year I didn't watch much at all. I loved the year Adam Lambert was on. I actually went and saw him on his Glamnation tour when he was right down the street from me. Totally out of character for me.

There are a few that I like this year. Don't have the names remembered yet. There are about three that stand out. I do like the counrty guy.

Last year was the only year I didn't get hooked. I have a couple favorites this year. I like Jay Lo as a judge, but Steven Tyler gets on my nerves a little.

I love Steven Tyler.
My favorite contestant is James Durbin. I also like Casey and Paul.
And all the boys actually. The girls, not so much.

Same here. I love James and Casey. Not a fan of any of the girls this year. *yawn*

I'm a Pia fan. Think she has to win!

Also enjoying JLo and I've ALWAYS loved Steven Tyler!

wow what happened last night??? I guess I really have no room to question as I don't vote any way. Casey was gonna get the heave ho! I am glad the judges saved him. It should have been someone else that got the lowest amount of votes IMO.

After Wednesday night I was sure that the bottom 3 would be all girls. I was shocked when Casey was in there, even more shocked when he was the very bottom. What the heck?! I am so happy the judges saved him, even though I think he may have almost passed out. I heard on the radio this morning on Ryan Seacrest's show that they had him backstage with medics afterwards. Poor guy!

Anyway, obviously the judges this season know what they're doing. He shouldn't be going home!

I agree AmyBoz...I think Pia has a wonderful voice, but I think she is too "fragile" to do the tour thing.

I was really worried about Steven Tyler the first night. He was doing his screamy thing a bit too much, but it seems that the producers mellowed him down pretty quickly. If he would have kept it up, I had intended to not watch it .

I love J-Lo, but I really don't have a favourite contestant.

That whole Casey thing was a little weird I thought. But I'm glad he is still there!

America voted and he was done.With the judges saving him do they think thats going to sway the voting public into liking him now.I don't really get that.There are better than him,so will have to see if he gets beyond the next few weeks.

They put that 'save rule' in place when Chris Daughtery surprisingly got cut too early a few seasons ago and was very popular. Sometimes people think their favorite is safe because they are so popular and don't bother to vote. The save is only one time during the top 12 and they made a good decision to save him. If he gets cut again, oh well. I happened to like the new rule put in place because I was crying
when Chris got cut way to soon.

Right, if people still don't vote for him and he gets the boot then it was really what people wanted. At least he gets another chance and his fans know to vote if they really want to keep him on otherwise he will off the show for good with nothing to keep around.
