i kinda liked her,
i love david archuleta though, he’s my fave by faar<3
WOW, i thought she was really good.
fixed,,,,,should have been BROOK
At least David didn’t get out. <3
are you freakin serious???
BROOKE WHITE HAS GOTTA GO!!!
I WISH BROOKE GOT VOTED OFF
SHE ALWAYS MESSES UP
awww, i wanted that seisha to leave!!!! She has got to go next week!
Darn. I think Jason needs to go away
I agree, it should have been Brooke. Carly is a lot better than her.
this is cruel!
Jason shoulda been eliminated, his performance last night was horrendous.
i am really surprised. her performance was my favorite last night.
i don’t usually follow AI but I watched last night, this girl kicked ass…how do you stop in the middle of your song having to start over and still manage to stay on the show? Blondie has got to go…
this is part of the problem with allowing the general public to vote, they don’t know what the hell they’re doing…the blonde probably has some huge hometown voting for her getting her through whether she’s talented or not.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

crap.
at least jason and David A are safe…
but NOT CARLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY….
sad Idol, very sad.
Are you kidding me?!?! she was the most talented girl on the show!!!
SOOOO HAPPY!!!
Why hasn’t Brooke gone home yet?
Carly is much better and she has this thing that Brooke lacks, it’s called a personality.
i’m a brooke fan but i thought she should have went home
jason sooo should have gone home or syesha
NOO
SHE WAS MY FAVOURITE!!
even though i don’t watch it…
but still
=\
Carly did so good last night. I voted for her a few times. Syesha and Jason are my favorites. It should’ve been Brooke. She’s done bad the last couple weeks.
why r u people hating on Brooke??…is it b/c she made 1 small mistake, leave her alone!!! It should of been Syesha who should leave…we do not need another fantasia to be the next idol.
Brooke may have started over but once she did she was much better than Jason Castro for the evenng. I never really got attached to Carly. Her husband with his entire face tattooed kind of weirds me out for an American Idol representative. Then of course Carly has the whole arm tat and that is one of the many. We only see that one.
She has a nice voice though nothing unusual for the radio though.
It should have been Brooke..
WOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m ok with her getting kicked off, she wasn’t ever that good but i though it would be brooke but i think people felt sorry for her her.
She wasn’t my favorite, but she is really good !
I can’t believe she’s out ! Brooke or Syesha should have gone home !
It’s not fair.
well, at least it wasn’t David Cook !
VOTE FOR DAVID COOK!
he rocks !
I’M SO MAD. Why the F U C K was Brooke not in the bottom 2?.And why the hell is she not gone tonight?
I think that Jason is the one who should have gone home this week not Carly .
The show is no longer about talent - it is about popularity - Brooke White is and has been awful…..she should go by default for sucking.
Dancing With The Stars is better.
whoa…that is not cool.
cuz i would have thought it was her and the davids in the end….
that’s just not right…
jason should be next to go home….:) david archuleta is SO gay! but he has talent.
poor girl…anyway someone gotta go and definitily David Cook must be the winner!! he’s the best of the season!!
David Cook rocks!!!
yeah but like simon said, she at least showed some humanity.
no ones perfect. someones gotta mess up sometimes.
David A did, he forgot the lyrics half way in the song.
people still love him.
i dont like AI this season
Noway…. I like carly… she’s good. brooke the one should out. what’s wrong with American idol.
Poor Carly.
Hope it’s not gonna happen to David Cook… my Cookiee … keep rockin’
Brooke should have been the one to go. How many times is she going to restart songs on national television? You don’t do that when you are performing live on tv. In concerts, maybe. She keeps forgetting lyrics WTF? Carly was lively. she’ll be ok.
I think it’s definitely a popularity contest which is strange since you would think Syesha would have the black vote yet she remains to be in the bottom groups each time. But whatever. I think Carly will go somewhere and now that she’s off I’m rooting for David Cook.
Thank god Jason is safe!! Just because he has a bad performance one week doesn’t mean he should go home. It wasn’t his genre so off course he didn’t do as well. But Syesha and Brooke have been in the bottom 3 for the past couple of weeks because they haven’t been consistently good. They should have gone home.
Jason for the win!!!!
i was actually glad that she went home. she was annoying to me. i couldn’t STAND looking at her tattoos every week. i don’t know. i just didn’t like her. i just hope David Archuleta should win! he’s the best one.
Jason is so adorable and cute! He has such a great personality and he’s so talented especially when he sings with his guitar. He’ll be a great acoustic artist even if he doesn’t win AI.
Vote Jason!!
Are you serious?
I mean c’mon.
Did people see Brooke’s performance last night?
I mean wow, she should have totally went home.
Ugh, Carly was the best chick left.
omg. wow. she’s like an awesome singer.
wth
“Her husband with his entire face tattooed kind of weirds me out for an American Idol representative. Then of course Carly has the whole arm tat and that is one of the many. We only see that one”
how can you judge someone based on that? that’s soo rude and ignorant. Just because someone has tattoo’s doesn’t make them a bad “idol”. No one seems to mention the fact that David A’s father is with a new woman every week… Pretty sure Carly was one of the sweetest ones on there. She is extremely talented. Yup. She’s going to do well anyway.
Awwww man….I’m still watching this. No fair Jared. You ruined it for me. lol
I met David Archuleta before!!!
this sucks. Brooke should have went home. She has the least talent in all of them. how did she get this damn far?! i hope she goes home next week.
this show is bullshit. david castro and jason archuletta need to leave.
is andrew loyd webber gay? he seems so much more feminine now. i guess sarah brightman broke his heart and he went the wrong way. notice how ryan kept TOUCHING him?? hmmmmmm..
CARLY TIENE MUCHO TALENTO… CREO QUE MERECIA ESTAR AUNQUE SEA EN LA FINAL. DESDE ARGENTINA TIENE MI APOYO
Carly has much talent … I Think she deserves TO BE albeit in the final. Since Argentina has my support
sorry my English is very bad
gots to be fcuking kidding me.
Now that the last moderately talented contestant with some semblance of a personality is gone, this is by far the dullest final five I’ve EVER seen.
My pick for the final 2 to is Archuleta and Cook. They have the best talent on the show .
nooooooooooooo
she was the most talented women
in that show
i just can t belive it
nooooooooooooooooooooooo
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!
I am so pissed. This is proof that AI has now turned into a popularity contest instead of a talent contest. No way that Carly should have gone home tonight.
I don’t understand how Syesha Mercado can be on the bottom 2 all the time. She has an amazing voice and she did amazing last night why is America so clueless when it comes to voting on American Idol I just don’t understand
Look here’s the deal…instead of getting on here and bitching after ever episode about who should go home and who should stay…pick up your dang phone and vote to keep your person there….if more people would have voted Carly would have stayed….its a free call! good lord!
I agree Carly shouldnt have been sent home, but i do have to disagree and say that Brooke deserves to still be there. That girl can sing. So she flubbed and you cant hold it against her in Every Breathe because she was a note in. Yeah stage fright happens forgetting lyrics happens, but Brooke deserves to be there. She can sing if you like it or not.
That is unbelievable!!!! It just proves the show is rigged. Brooke clearly should have been kicked off and David Archuleta is clearly overrated!
I’ll miss Carly…. she was one of the <Best however I don’t agree about Brooke leaving… she has an amazing voice too… everyone makes mistakes…. <3 give her a break
David Archuleta should WIIIINNN!!!
WTF…Based on yesterday’s performance, it should’ve been Brooke!! Carly was great last night…she deserves to be at least in the Top 4..
*sigh* at least Cookie is safe….keep voting for David Cook, guys!! He rocksss!!
America got it wrong, AGAIN!! ******* deaf or what, carly has the best vocal of all. hands down. that pathetic ***** brooke white should’ve been sent home a long time ago.
she was one of the good ones. jason castro needs to go
#44 - Everyone I know has commented on how ugly Carly’s arm tat is and how creepy her husband’s face is. Not saying that’s why she was voted off, but to say not liking her tats is rude and ignorant is ridiculous.
As far as Brooke goes, she has Vote for the Worst behind her now and that might be the reason she was safe. Simon was very hypocritical. In the audition phase he said it was inexcusable to forget the words. Yet, he gave Brooke a pass and never calls David A. out in the finals.
It just sad when talented people must defeted by popular one. Is this because her origin is not american, like MJ?? just curious … I’m not American and watch AI from Satellite, If I can vote I will definitely vote for DAVID COOK.
Should have been Brook White…
ahhh I am so glad Carly left us tonight. She really just bothered me. All I can say is go David’s. We all know it is going to come down to them but I think Cook should win. And as for the rest of them it really doesn’t matter the order they leave the show but I would love to see an all male top 3 with Jason in 3rd place.
#64
it’s ignorant because people are judgeing her BASED on her tattoos and not her talent.
**** American Idol!! They got rid of major talent when they voted Carly off.
Brooke should have been going home, not Carly.
It should have been Brooke or Jason. They both are talentless.
also:
my comment was said because someone was criticizing the fact that she had tattoos and her husband’s apperance made her less of an “idol”. And i simply think it’s rude to to consider her less of an “idol” because of this. i never said not liking the tattoo’s was rude. the fact that people didn’t think she was good BECAUSE of them was rude.
are you serious? she did really good last night, im sorry but i thought brooke was going to go home. guess it’s all about popularity…
The show is no longer about talent it is about popularity it’s sad but true. Syesha Mercado shouldn’t be in the bottom 3 and every week she’s in the bottom 3 especially after yesterday performance in my opinion was the best performance last night. I voted for her so many times. This show is no longer about talent it’s all about popularity. David archuleta needs to go in my opinion he cannot seen and the only thing that’s keeping him in there is his popularity not talent. This show needs to end already no one doesn’t care about talent anymore
Its good..
I guess if I had to choose between one of them to leave it would have been Carly.
I love how Shyesha sings
David Cook <333
What?! It couldn’t be! She did better than Brooke! I love Brooke and all but that’s just unfair. I’m upset by this.
Amanda you are so right!
It should’ve been Brooke. She just needs to go. Jason was bad last night, but Broadway just isn’t for him–it’s not like he’s generally bad. Jason’s probably one of the best. He’s got his style and his voice and he knows what he can do.
You know who else should leave? David Archuleta. WHO CARES IF HE’S CUTE. PEOPLE, COME ON. He sings the same **** week after week after week. It’s old, it’s boring; and let’s face it, no one would buy a CD that’s completely ballads.
Krystel the show is not about talent anymore not saying that Brooke can;t sing because she really can. But she hasn’t been good lately and it was her time to go even though i like her. Again i feel bad for some of the contestants because they are being treated unfairly like Syesha a girl who has so much talent is always on the bottom 3.
noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! carly was good! it shld. have been brooke or jason!
SUCKS!!!
CARLY DIDNT DESERVE TO GO AT ALL!
THIS IS ABSURD! This show has become a mockery and is a mere popularity contest.
The fact that the two best performers of the night were in the bottom 2 while the worst (Brooke and Jason were not) is horrendous.
After Michael John and Carly being voted off, the show is now void of any personality and excitement.
The only person left who I remotely want to vote for is David Cook but things won’t be the same without Carly now.
Jason Castro should of gone home a long long time ago. He has nothing special and he isn’t unique. He sounds the same week after week. Plus he is boring, has no personality what so ever !
My favorites are safe and that is what I care about. My cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Jason is safe. I love his voice his face and his cute personality. My favorite of curse are also David A and David C.
As long as those three are in the competition I will be happy as a clown.
I love the boys….
:)
Mary the two boys you mention are being voted because they are popular it’s a popularity contest though David C can sing
I do not believe it.
Brooke is the one who has to go.
I can’t believe she still stays.

Mary the two boys you mention are being voted because they are popular it’s a popularity contest though David C can sing
______ Yes it is a popularity contest______
Many many people buy songs base on popularity and talent. If the singer is not popular he or she can’t sell what they make… Is that fare I don’t know is that a fact…. Yes it is. I want my Jason and David C and David C to be until the end of the competitions.
They are the only reason I watch the show.
I am glad that you like David C. To me he should be the winner, but we will see.
I really wasn’t expecting this, it should either be Jason or Brooke to have gone home, not because they’re bad singers, but because they had the most weak perfomance last night. Syesha is amazing, it hurts to see her in the bottom 3 every week, and Carly is really really good, she shouldn’t have left tonight. I first thought the final 3 would be Carly, Michael Johns and Syesha, but ever since Michael left I lost all hopes for a fair finale. Like everyone has said, AI has turned into a popularity contest, so it’s pointless to have talented people there anyway. Maybe next year they won’t choose people because of their singing, and maybe that won’t be as unfair as it has been.
i have to disagree i think it’s unfair that people are voting on popularity it’s not about talent anymore this season has to be the worst voting ever! and this why American Idol ratings have been slipping due to the fact that people just don’t know what talent is. I really do like David C he’s great. How I dislike David A though he needs to go the only reason why he’s still there is because he’s popular and people are voting for him. Syesha Mercado has one of the best voices there and yesterday that was the best performance of the night and once again she was in the bottom 3. WHY??? I just don’t understand anymore. Carly definitely didn’t deserve to go today.
i really didnt see carly going home this week at all. I really thought it would be between Brooke White, Syesha Mercado or Jason Castro but not Carly. I liked Carly alot and she has a awesome voice. Good luck Carly with everything you do and Ill be watching out for you and see what goes on because I will be buying your CD if you make one. David Archuleta is my favorite though and I really hope he wins American Idol because he really does deserve it and God Bless David and good luck next week. David A. you are amazing.
WHY….. WHY?
WHY IS CARLY SMITHSON????
ARE THE VIEWERS GONE NUTS????????
FIRST, MICHAEL JOHNS, THEN CARLY?????
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BROOKE, THAT STUPID, RIDICULOUS DUMBEST BLOND EVER, THAT IS ALWAYS TRY TO LOOK INNOCENT, SHE’S NOT THAT INNOCENT Y’ALL.
IS THIS SHOW, IS ABOUT TALENT? OR HAIR COLOR?
PLSSSSSS, WAKE UPPPP, BRROOKE SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS SHOW, NEXT WEEK
Brooke White has to go home! It is ridiculous that people who know to sing get kicked out…..This is really weird.
Well, i think she got good voice, but her tattoe kind a annoying for some reason….
And for some reasons, America never like an Idol who already got married….I mean, see Daughrty, then just now Michael Johns…..
I’M KIND A AGREE WITH #92.
IT SEEMS LIKE MARRIED CONTESTANTS NEVER WIN THIS COMPETITION, IT HAS TO BE SINGLE PERSON. I THINK ALL THE WINERS BEFORE WERE SINGLE TOO, AM I RIGHT?
Since Michael Johns gone…. I don’t really care about who got kicked off….but I still watch the show though…..
Not fair.
She is good
I think her “mistakes” are tattoes and married…..lol…
carly gave the best performance of the night. everyone was rockin out. i loved the musical director dancing & the back up singers were so into it. she was the only one to do the great music of alw justice. david a & seyisha both gave enjoyable performances. everyone else sucked. i like brooke - she seems super sweet but she is a terrible performer & an average singer. jason is a loser. simon got it right way back when he asked him if he was serious about the competition. it is like he doesn’t care. maybe that is the stoner in him - he just always seems stoned but he could just not have any personality. there must be some young girls out there voting for him.
no! carly was super good! brooke should go! she messed up too many times. TOO MANY!!!!!!!! AMERICA what is going on!
Don’t feel too bad for Carly. She had a record out by a major label a few years ago. It tanked, but I am willing to bet they will resurrect it now that she is off the show.
To number 99 it’s not the point. The point is American Idol is loosing it’s credibility because now it’s a popularity contest show
agree with #96…LOL….LOL…
well, she is a good singer though…
I hate the fact that people think all of David Archuleta’s supporters vote for him because they think he’s cute. Or the fact that the only people who vote for him are young girls. i beg to differ.
and half you people who complain on here
did you guys pick up the phone and vote for carly. i think not.
Noooooooooooooooo
she’s has a good voice.
Brooke should go.
I love David cook<
You wonder why it wasn’t Brooke?! VoteForTheWorst.com, people.
whats wrong with america - the americans who got the best two vocalists to bottom two?! american idol’ve got to do something about the biased voting system!
Shes amzing!!!!! its fixed for sure
Although Carly is a good singer, I personally didnt think she shouldve have won the competition. She already has an album out, and with that said, it just wouldnt have been fair to the other contestants, who havent had that opportunity yet.
By the way, why do so many people think Syesha shouldve been sent home? Shes very talented and personable. Its unfair to want to wish her home. Brooke on the other hand, ouch. I think its her personality thats keeping her on. While her talent is mediocre, she doesnt have a power voice, and isnt such a good singer. Jason also proved he’s not a great singer. These people should be voted off, and lets allow the real competition to start, although we’ve lost great singers already (Michael being one of them!!)
Hey Jason is a Crap…. Carly was amazing… WTH
VOTE DAVID ARCHULETA
GOOO AWAY BROOKE!! NO ONE LIKES YOU BUT YOUR MORON FRIENDS!!!!
GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWWWWAAYYYYYYY
BRRRRROOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE.
YOUR RUINING THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
america makes me laugh.
miss little sunshine and rainbows and unicorns will stay as along as mindless, tone-deaf teenyboppers and pop culture drones vote.
sunshine power!!!
IT’S THE MORMONS THAT ARE VOTING FOR HER … SHE’S A MORON FOLKS!!!

Jasmine # 73 and # 88 posts I couldn’t agree with more !! ITA !!
And I too just don’t understand why all the backlash against Syesha, who IMO, has a great voice — much better than some others still on the show — especially that damn David A. I can’t understand why still all the hype. The boy is boring. And he has no stage presence. And he appeals to a limited number of people — particularly teenyboppers. I can’t see what the judges see in his performances that’s so great and I don’t see what some of these fans of his see. But, I guess there’s no accounting for taste, is there?
My take on the Brooke situation: I wonder who’s d#ck she’s sucking !!
Either that, or those people over there at VoteForTheWorst have really made some inroads in the voting process over there on AI, which I happen to think may be rigged anyway.
There seems to be just no justice in this voting process, IMO — especially since we are not allowed to vote online, which may help get the vote out there for our favorites.
I’m just about fed up with this show. And if they get rid of Syesha before Brooke, Jason and that goofy-looking, mediocre David A, I’m done for this season.
UNBELIEVABLE !!!!
Someone is selling britney spears deodorant on ebay
She was good but I am GLAD to see her go…I don’t think it’s fair that someone who had a previous album promoted hard (and failed) deserves to be treated like a discovery on a show like this. What BS.
hate the fact that people think all of David Archuleta’s supporters vote for him because they think he’s cute. Or the fact that the only people who vote for him are young girls. i beg to differ.
and half you people who complain on here
did you guys pick up the phone and vote for carly. i think not.
I agree people are only voting for him because girls thinks he’s cute and that’s it. While poor Syesha and other members who truly have talent are constantly on the bottom 3. The voting is very biased.

Aaaww Carly was pretty good
Brooke is outta here she freakin started over!!
America is fking retarded. I’m not watching for the rest of the season.
Carly > Brooke.
i was so bummed when ryan announced carly’s name … jason should be kicked out, hes super lame!!
DAVID COOK and DAVID ARCHULETA are my bets!!
This show isn’t about who sings the best but how many friends can you get to keep calling and voting for you. So played.
awww i like how carly sings
but anyways what can we do?
people why u dont vote
Alessita we do vote the thing is that people are biased voters it’s a popularity contest
OMG!


Such great luck the two David’s didnt get out
David Archuleta first is THE ONE! And David Cook, is so sweet i want either of them to win.
i dont like Brooke, i actually think she sucks.. i LOVED Carly Smithson.. too bad she’s out
And then after brooke goes Jason castro.. i bet the other one who will be kicked off is Brooke White, and then Jason Castro, and Syesha Mercado, David Cook/Archuleta will be the finalists.. and Either Cook or Archuleta will win
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT CARLY GOT VOTED OFF!!! She was the best out of ALL OF THEM!!!! Jason CAN’T EVEN SING and he’s still there!!!!! And Brooke, who knows why she’s still on the show!!! And i bet stupid David Archuleta’s going to win American Idol because all the girls love him and think he’s so cute when he’s just a little punk trying to act all innocent and adorable!!
WO DO YOU LIKE BETTER…BROOKE OR DAVID A.???
