It was not surprising me at all when Ryan Seacrest announced the bottom 3 last night. The three females (Lindsey, Mikalah and Jessica) didn't step up to better performance for 2 weeks in a row. No wonder why Simon gave such a rude comment on their performing. However, I had predicted Nikko instead of Jessica being in the bottom 3 because he is really not good enough for this show. The eliminating result based on America's votes this week is Lindsey. I like her personality when she was asked to singing again for the last time before leaving the competition. She showed a lot of class in giving an effort to go over to the judges and shake their hands during her song. What a positive attitude! I think she obviously knew she was going home that night. She might think she is not capable enough to move on to the next level competing with the rest 11 contestants. Anyway, some people including the judges had predicted her soon to get eliminating since 2 weeks ago.

As mentioned last night, Nikko has joined back the top 12 to replace Mario who is suddenly quit from the competition for personal reason. I read news from internet that the reason is sort of business matter because he failed to meeting the contract standards. Oh well, he might be quit voluntarily.. who knows??

byee.. Mario!

The best performances this week in my opinion were Bo, Nadia and Constantine meanwhile everyone else was either okay or terrible. I love Nadia Turner performed with the song "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" which I would say she did it pretty well (it is my favorite song though!). Wow..Bo Bice performance was surprising me too. He jumped off the stage singing like the professional one. It's unbelievable when Simon gave him thumbs up saying, "You did it like you have done it professionally for more than 20 years".

On the other hand Carrie's performance was not well done, although she has a lot of potential. I would say her voice is better than all the other girls or you can say the third top female after Nadia and Vonzell.
