    I'm sorry to see Tia go home. Paula and Nicole didn't like her from the start. They took this on a personal level, by Paula saying " i don't like her". Tia had barely started singing, and they came with an attitude. Paula just like Jennfer Lopez should not be judging anyone on their singing. Look at some of these other so called singers, Ciara, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson,Brittany Spears, and Jessica Simpson among others that really can't sing, but made it on looks alone. Tia will out sing all of them. Yeah, I said it. Don't give up Tia. Melanie is good, but boring.

    Is LA Reid racist? I doubt it, but he certainly appears to be biased in favor of the artists that suit his style of music (and label). I mean, realy he cut the talented black country singer, too, and it is not like his final four are all black! Some of you people need to stop dragging race into everything. To me it's about music genre and taste. I think that Reid's decisions were extremely biased and that they were really rooted in his personal music preferences rather than basing it on talent or potential. I just feel bad for all the men who got the shaft just because LA doesn't like their kind of music. And Philip Lomax. How in god's name any music professional have thought that was a good song choice is beyond me. Or maybe Reid legitimately doesn't know better, but I just don't think he's that stupid; whether it was by design or by accident, I feel Lomax was set up to fail.

    If someone hands Chris Rene $5M after only 70 days clean for the nth time, will he be able to leave the junk behind? Not sure. Let's see Chris Rene or the rapper kid actually be made to sing instead of rap, after all we want multi dimensional performers. Rapper kid refused to dance in boot camp...sat that out. Give Melanie an obscure arrangement she hasn't been practicing her whole life and see if she can do more than imitate. Let Rachel sing something meatier than she has so far. The whole thing smacks of stupidity and manipulation and I'm not a fan. Btw Rhianna didn't add anything as a judge imo. Stacy is IRRITATING, crying, screaming, asking for pity...yuck.
