I'm sorry, but I can't STAND this little girl!
Her vocals are terrible! And her personality is annoying. She SOUNDS like a little child trying to sing like a big girl. If she were the age of the other girls competing, she wouldn't have made it past boot camp.
I bet anything that she's one of the first three eliminated.

Indeed. When Simon saw her in that dress he should have called up Simone and said she was being replaced.

Tiger was no where near best performance.
Also little girls being eliminated first few weeks? Hah no way.
Phillip Lomax will probably get the freedom to sing something loungie like Buble but he did awesome with the Rihanna song I thought so he can break off and do weird contemporary things as well.
Dexter had better be the first to go.

This aint AI brah.
They spent way way way more time focusing on the contestants in this show then in AI. Way more sob stories and personality behind each of them so people are more connected. The two girls will stay for a bit I bet. The kiddy groups not so much.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.

So basically I was right about them choosing a ton of cannon fodder. It happens every year on Idol - so many mediocre singers that you wonder just how many potential stars they cut. Except on X-Factor they actually let us get to know them before snatching away our hopes and dreams.
For example, on the UK X-Factor, this guy blew everyone away. And yet nowhere to be seen on the live shows, and he was cut before the overblown sex scandal so that wasn't a reason.
And this joker makes it. So there you have it, reality TV bullshit at work.

Simone getting in over Jazzlyin is a fucking travesty. While I agree with Simon the vast majority of the times, I think he blew it here big time.

Yeah, she wasn't perfect, but I think much more deserving than Simone. If only she had more confidence, that probably would've gotten her through. I'm assuming that was part of the reason why Simon didn't put Jazzlyn through.

Tiger is a friend of mine, so he's the only reason I've been watching this. Someone spoiled the results on his Facebook page during the East Coast feed, causing much Facebook Drama for us West Coasters. I told him to lock that shit down earlier in the day, but it was pretty hilarious regardless.
Now that he and Rugby Booty are gone, I pretty much have no reason to watch the rest of this show.

Did being on the show help him at all?
So hip hop kid who can't sing, Sinatra impersonator, junkie, and talented guy who sounds like Stevie Wonder are the top 4 guys? That's a pretty shitty ensemble. Then there's the James Brown wanna-be homeless guy getting a slot over two other incredible male singer. Then there's the female Gremlin from Gremlins 2 getting a spot over rugby girl or tattoo lady. And what Paula did with the groups is completely irrelevant because they don't have a shot in hell next to the solo acts.
This show is a joke. I really enjoyed the auditions because there were some amazing performances but I think it's time for me to stop watching now that most of those excellent people are gone.

He's been super quiet about everything, because of his contract with the show, but they didn't lose the house.DeadFalling said:

also this is only looking at the small picture but all the girls I know that watch this show don't like Rugby girl, they think she's "boring".
....they so jelly
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK.
I had to miss the episode, but my dad told me everything on the ride home. RUGBY GIRL GOT CUT?!
THE FURY.
You know, I was expecting that gap toothed thing to pass since Simon has been enamored with her since the beginning, and I was going to accept this as tolerable indulgence assuming the rest of the group was strong. But no, Simone passed too? How did Simone even get to the judges' house? Her catastrophe during bootcamp was equivalent to academic misconduct. Do you think a student would stay in University after spectacularly cheating on a test? No, their ass would get expelled, and Simone's ass should've gotten expelled immediately.
"But they have that X Factor!" No, they do not. These two will get eaten alive by the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and even Rihonda. They have nothing new or exciting to offer, and they shall flop (though I wouldn't mind eating crow as I don't wish ill on them, they're not to blame for their lesser asses getting chosen).
Fabulous mechanic girl was cut too, this is such a mess. At least little Rachel passed.
My other source of rage comes from hot biracial and talented male trio getting cut. And for who? The two frankengroups? LOL.
I don't really care much about LA Reid's team. I'm glad Chris and high school graduate passed. The former might be interesting, the latter is very talented. Absolutely disagree on the rapping child passing. He really isn't special in any way.
Nicole's group is actually quite good, barring Dexter. I can't believe I'm being forced to root for this bitch. Dirty Javier Bardem and Divacey are the best in the competition right now.

Eh, Stacey needs to learn control, or she's going to get "the black girl" role on the show. I.e. her performances will all be technically good. She won't get any damning feedback.But she'll be eliminated 5 - 6 weeks in, and there will be an "that's not fair!" outcry for a day or two, and then she'll be forgotten. (for reference see: every black female Idol contestant except for Fantasia and J Hud)
I'm not ashamed to do it, but I'm calling it now: Drew wins this season. She's cute without being annoying (like Rachel). And, unlike Rachel, she sings just as well as the big girls (better, even). She doesn't have to rely on getting the "Awww...but she's so young!" vote. She's actually talented.
I still say Rachel gets voted off within the first three weeks.

Yeah, I'm rooting for Drew now. She's only one year older than Rachel, yet infinitely more talented in her musical instincts and overall vocal tone. Plus, she doesn't sing with her legs spread wide enough to deliver a child on stage.
Rugby Girl was too good for the show, honestly. She reminds me a lot of the stunningly gorgeous Didi Benami (American Idol S8, I believe), who only made it a couple weeks on the live shows because Simon thought she was boring. Yet every time she opened her mouth I felt like I was being transported into nirvana.
These types of singers with lush, soothing, floaty voices just don't do well on a show that's all about bombast and excessive theatrics (ex. fine-legged and big-voiced Stacy). It's a damn shame, but Simon's perfected the formula down to a science in the UK.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the conspicuous lack of hot male contestants. Now that Steve Jones' godly figure will be all covered up in suits for the live shows, who will please my discerning eyes? Guess I'll have to settle for Leroy

Likewise. I'm rooting for Drew all the way. Look at this - let's see how many dislikes this ends up getting. Youtube users are not pleased that Jazzlyn got the boot, too:

What a mess... Drew is clearly my favorite so far. Some really stupid picks by the judges though many are just fodder to be quickly eliminated most likely. Too many manufactured phonies trying too hard.
Jazzlyn should have made it too. I thought part of the appeal of the show was the judges taking someone with some talent and rough edges and polishing them up. She would have been perfect for that.
Was glad Melanie Amaro was given a chance though.
And the show is supposed to be a competition not a charity, we fast forward through all that useless crap.

I almost felt physically ill when he cut Melanie at first. Simone and Tolliver over Melanie? seriously?
I knew he was going to bring her back, but as a wild card, with other 3 contestants, but this is just unfair to the others.
Simon got the two teens and Malnie right, the other two wrong.
LA got them all right save for the kid, ew.
Nicole got them all right, except for Dexter. It should have been Tiger.
LOL PAULA.

No, just no. Rugby chick was good, but she wasn't great. She did not have star potential at all. Didi Benami was largely flat in her performances, but the notes she did hit were entrancing.
Gap tooth girl has the look and personality of an r&b star, but she'll be next to go if she doesn't sing an actual song next time.
The little girl is extremely talented. What you guys are referring to as vocal flaws are things that are easily correctable with training. She's obviously the rawest of the singers, but her potential is as high as any of them. This is why she'll outlast Drew (who I also like, but who is probably pretty much a one trick pony vocally).
All in all, Simon made all the right cuts (aside from Melanie). In a perfect world Rugby chick would've stayed, but her star potential wasn't on par with the 5 that made it.
IMO his two horses to back are Melanie and the little girl. Melanie being the easy choice, the little girl being the dark horse if she catches on quickly to vocal training.
The one who messed up was Nicole keeping the bum and the old guy, neither of whom has a chance at doing anything.

Simon blows. Melanie was a lock. Best voice of anyone on the show. Can't believe he took the little girl, Simone or Tolliver over Melanie. How is he a judge when he lacks judgement?

Tiger was amazing, I'm surprised he didn't make it through. Especially over Dexter.
Yeah they only added the "Astro" bullshit two or three episodes as well (in the credit highlights)
Now he's just "Astro"....ugh!
He's a worse pick, to me, than Dexter was.
Tiger should've made it, I'm satisfied with the rest of the picks I guess. Don't really care about the guys...as long as that arrogant Brian kid gets booted early, I'll be happy

lmao at this dramatic soundtrack introducing the judges.
Edit: they're getting rid of 5 people this week. Delicious.
Edit 2: LA Reid - "I like the unpredictable"
Edit 3: Frank Sinatra guy was boring and disposable.
Edit 4: lmao, I think no one is aware this show is on right now.
