    I think it's a shame that someone like Carly was sent home while Jason who obviously doesn't care (Or he's folded under the pressure) was left to perform.  Both of his songs tonight were train wrecks.  His time has come.

    Poor guy...I keep hearing media types saying that he'll probably be more successful than the actual winner.

    Who do you think will win? David Cook? I loved his version of "Eleanor Rigby".
