if votes were cast fairly, the voters would look for the color in the singer's voice. color, and color alone, transcends all else.

Holly is so underated, she has at least the 2nd best voice on the show and possibly the best. I dont get the judges response or lack of excitment about her like they are for Sanchez,who I feel is overrated ! I hate to say it,but there is nothing unique or memorable about Sanchez....Dont get me wrong, shes really good,but Im sorry, I dont hear the perfection the judges are hearing....and I know what Im talking about,ive been a guitarist now for close to 40 years,from about 10 years old.....and I can hear that may be a slight sharp or flat....most musicians who play can......the judges bias toward sanchez is unprofessional and not justified...

We got a number of talented contestants. No shadow of doubt Jessica has proven herself to be one of the best unique singers and performers not only in the States but throughout the world. America is proud of her!!! She's a versatilish fantastic!!!

oh my god i love jessica sanchez  version of try a little tenderness superb!!! the judges was so wrong. That was jessica's best. She definitely got the heart of people voting and watching AI. No offense but im tired listening to jushua's way of singing. Hey, Jimmy jessica picked a good song this week.The song she sang this week showcased her vocal prowess though she can sing better than that. She definitely got our hearts! Amen!

I was so confused to see Colton in the bottom I really thought he would be one of the last people standing, I am so sorry Colton , But you are better off not winning . It seems the ones who dont win seem to make it bigger.. I will be buying your music Colton . Don give up.

what the heck! that should be hollie!!!! that's a shock!  really!! colton? why???

stop badmouthing other idols. i love colton but this is how you guys vote. blame the so-called idol nation! 

but then again, only one idol must emerge as winner. philip and jessica are still in the competition and they make AI 2012 still worth watching.

joshua,skylar and elise MUST GO! Jessica and Philip deserves to bag the title, jessica has the voice and Philip has the artistry uniquely his own. Oh and Hollie I know will be great in time. Skylar's just fortunate that she has the "southern" vote, otherwise she's outta competition a long time ago, all she does is scream and screech, idk what the judges see in her. Just like joshua, "she's" too gospel-ly,scream and shout is what he does best, elise sounds nice and unique but has an attitude of a diva who hasn't even rose to stardom yet but feels like one. I like hollie even from season 10 and she should be on the top 3 now that colton's gone. Philip for the WIN! anyone bet jessica and hollie; 2nd or 3rd. If philip goes home next week, I am pretty sure AI's ratings will go down the drain-n-n-n-n!

Skylar's voice is too country, Joshua he's spectacular but can't see him being super popular, Jessica best for vocal, Elise kinda boring with song choice sometimes, and holly was good last week but basing on her overall performance she's the worse of all them, and lastly Philip his vocal is not that great but He has the best charisma :)

We're sick and tired of JoLo showing such blatant favoritism. Last week was bad and last night she did it again.

Like really" Jessica and Elise need to go already,,Philip and Skyler are my favorite i hope they are the two finalist...if it wasn't for Jessica's ironic safe Colton could have been saved last night judges made the wrong choice starting to not like Jlo and her choice of outfits anyways,,,but colton will be fine can't wait to buy his first cd,,,baby Jessica needs to go back to school and grow up and come back in a few years, elise needs to go and sing in a bar somewhere cuz her voice is eary and scratchy sounding,,,,,ug!
