5/12 Elimination Show Discussion *Spoilers*

[Unklescott]

Rock on James, you're the true American Idol this season!!!

[ranger1rg]

the final 3 have the personalities of floor mats.

[maude~flanders]

Poor James! He should be really proud of what he has accomplished - especially with autism and Tourettes! What an inspirational person for everyone who suffers from those problems.

[JenCos]

I'm not a fan of Jame's singing. That is nothing against him as a person. What he has done this season has been AWESOME and he should be very proud of himself. Even falling short of the finale opens so many doors. If he is good, he will have a career now.

Absolutely! Certainly did not hurt Daughtry or Hudson....and actually even Kelly Pickler has done well - even though not as big as Chris and Jennifer...

[Babycakee]

I'm not a teenybopper and I voted... maybe not a gazillion times but more than i have before

[VoiceOfReason]

I would so rather have James than Lauren! But I am thrilled that Haley did not get eliminated

My sentiments exactly.

[libgirl2]

You know, it's funny. If the judges hadn't been so vicious to Haley last night, her fan base wouldn't have been mobilized and James probably would have stayed. So the judges have no one to blame but themselves!!

same thing I was thinking.... and was it me or did Lauren look a bit smug?

[navybelle]

Ohh, his sadness was just heartbreaking. I feel so bad for him.

[bee stung lips]

I can honestly say, the only contestant this season to evoke any real emotion out of me this season, (and I'm talking tears here) was James. Really sad to see him go.

Everyone I know on Facebook and myself were so pissed, we all power voted for Haley....I voted for the first time this year cuz I thought the critique went to far....so I see validity in your thoughts!
