And Kree was likeable? Idk. She has the country factor even though she's almost as "empty" as Amber.

I did love Amber's singing voice though.

I hope it's Angie and Candyce with Angie winning it.

I never said Kree was likable. But the country factor plays a part in her being in the final three. Her talent will be outweighed by her inability to connect as well. Just remains to be seen if that kills her in final three or the finale.

Angie deserves it though. She's been great all season and has the best shot of making it if she wins, while Kree and Candice could and should do well even in 2nd or 3rd.

Randy Jackson just announced he is leaving after this season.

So they're gonna have ALL new judges next season.

Also, as it has been known for a while now, Angie will be winning.

3 or 4 seasons too late...

I think Angie will win, though I wouldn't be surprised if Candance pulls an upset.

With the ratings slide and the rumors that the entire team will be fired, I wouldn't put it past Fox to air an episode of American Idol after the Super Bowl.

Holy crap, Angie got eliminated.

I would have settled for any combination of a final two that involved Candice, but this... works for me. I'm pretty sure Candice will crush Kree in the finale, but then Candice has pretty much been crushing all of her competition for about three months now.

I am not sure I'm interested in the finale. I thought Kree did absolutely horrible last night, and yet she moves on instead of Angie. Lame! Perhaps more and more people like country music nowadays.

I am totally shocked that Angie got voted off tonight. She has everything in her to make her a star and it's completely ridiculous she got voted off.

Now that Kree is in the finale, I definitely could see an upset. I think she sings well but something about her personality rubs me the wrong way. I love country and I'd definitely listen to her album but yeah... I am shocked.

That being said, I'm sure Angie has a nice career ahead of her. She is a great singer and she is so damn likable. I felt so bad for her.

On another note, did you see how PISSED Nikki was that Angie was voted off?

Just cancel Idol now. No reason to ever do another season again.

What a fucking joke.

This is by far the worst elimination since.... Jennifer Hudson. I fucking hate everyone that didnt vote for Angie. I dont care who ends up winning anymore.

Candice's final performance showed exactly the kind of vocal dominance that made her my favourite early on. Superb, and one of the few reprises that actually improves upon the previous performance.

Both of their would be singles were absolutely terrible. If I had to choose a single I liked more, it would be Kree's. Candice's was a "Beautiful" rehash but not anywhere near as good as that song.

I think Kree is going to get this. I love Candice but I think Kree has the chance to have more staying power.

Honestly, I wished Angie was in the final. I think she'll be around awhile.

Yeah, me too. I was sooo pissed when she was eliminated. Hopefully her song "You Set Me Free" is a moderate hit, and shes going to do shows with Jessie J, which is very cool.

The live/acoustic versions are far better.

It's a great song. Much better than Kree's annoying song and MUCH MUCH better than Candice's preachy Jesusy "Beautiful" ripoff.

I hope you realize that "You Set Me Free" is a preachy Jesus song too.

Yeah but it doesnt suck

Angie's performances with Adam Lambert and Jessie J proved why she should have been in the finale. Also, has anyone ever performed two celebrity duets for the finale?

Poor Candice is destined to realize an album that's going to suck. The sound that Idol wants her to perform is a sound that went extinct in the 90s.

You Set me Free wont be appearing on the charts. Blame American Idol for that Must be killings Candice and Kree's lame songs. Ah well...

TPTB are apparently planning on a new judging panel next season made up of previous contestants, which is a cool idea.

Jennifer Hudson is rumored to be nearing a deal.

well... I dont know about this idea. Hopefully theyll actually judge and not be all softy. The only one that comes to mind that will be good is Adam Lambert. Hope they get Kelly Clarkson, only because shes fun.

I love how these reality shows have become more about judges/coaches than the contestants.
