Man, you guys are observant. I totally missed that, so went back and watched it. After talking to Megan for about 10 seconds, she talked to him for ages!

She seemed to be giving him loads of advice. Lets hope it works!

I mean, he was downright human.

Karaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s frat boy comment was really unnecessary, that was a personal attack. It puzzled me that Anoopà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s college boy status has become his handicap. They try to portray him as this douchey frat boy. Seriously, is it so wrong to be in college and to actually have a social life? *asks the graduate student who loves to party*

Agreed. Kara should be the one that thinks before she speaks.

As for Megan, ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s her time to go, her performance in the last couple of weeks have been especially hard to watch. I always feel embarrassed for her when watching her performances. Her whole act during the elimination? I can relate, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m a crazy bitch, just like her.

I really hope she was apologizing for that stupid frat boy comment!! I mean Cà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢mon- I find it so unfair when they praise Lil even when sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been having bad performances continuously and Anoop had 2 strong weeks and one OK week. His vocals were great on that song- as Randy and Paula said. Also I think Ryan goaded Anoop into saying that- I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think he would have said anything- if Ryan didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t keep askin hm those leading questions. It kinda looks like their setting him up. I thought Anoopà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s response was Smart and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m glad he stood up for himself because Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sure and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve heard he actually is one of the most hardworking contestants!!

I agree with everything you said about Anoop. I don’t get how people are saying he’s arrogant when all he was doing was standing up for himself after getting screwed by Kara. Ryan was the one egging him on. Geesh.

Kara was really talking to Anoop a lot. I hope she talked some sense into the big headed fool. he has gotten too cocky for my liking.

I honestly think Dannyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performances are repetitive and the only performance of Adamà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s that I really liked was Tracks of My Tears. But Adam has stage presence aplenty, which works in his favor!!

So Megan might likely be very smart. Where I take issue is just because you’re smart, doesn’t mean you act professionally and that’s where I think she’s a bit off. You can argue that Simon and the judges don’t act professionally either, but Simon is just doing what Simon is paid to do. He’s paid to be nasty.

I just think you can be yourself and speak your mind in such a way as to not come off looking like either a) a total loon and b) completely unprofessional and Megan has managed to do both.

That said, because she’s pretty and has a unique voice I expect her to get recording offers. How into this whole thing she really is I have no idea.

If someone takes her in under their wing they could help mold this girl into something lovely.

Maybe if she’d listen to them. See didn’t seem to care to do that on the show. Maybe she was covering up her inadequacy with her flippant tude, but I honestly don’t think she has a musical bone in her body. Her brother’s shout out in the audience, sort of tells me these children were raised to think they are entitled.

I think that out of all of them she was the most amaturish and I wouldnt say she did not have “smarts” just no frame of reference when it came to this show and all that it entails. She sang in her choir at highschool and that was about it. I think her actions covered up hurt and confusion and I feel bad for her. She really did not handle the critiques well at all, but I wasnt as put off by her as I was by Anoops behavior when he received HIS, that evil mean look he gave Simon was something scary – anyhow – If someone takes her in under their wing they could help mold this girl into something lovely.

did anyone else notice Kara talking to Anoop in the backgroundà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.I hope she was giving him some good advice so he can bring it next weekà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I also hope she was apoligizing for her snarky Frat Boy comment.

Sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s 22 and her behavior wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t as bad as middle aged Sulky Simonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s pathetic hurtful à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹We donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t care about youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢.

I agree and this season, more so than in the past ones, the judges seem to be struggling with understanding the difference between constructive criticism and nasty unproductive criticism. Well, at least for those that aren’t on their “I have already made up my mind I want this one to win” list. Those contestants get to hear gentle little reminders to be careful of (you fill in the attribute) laced in over-the-top praise. And maybe that is the rub for me; they are so harsh on some and give such transparent free passes to others.

Adam Lambert said in that Extra clip that Megan was à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  incredibly intelligent, I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know if viewers at home know that but she is a very smart girl à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“. I think somebody in these parts said that Megan was a stupid girl getting by on her looks.

If she’s supposedly very smart, she certainly didn’t use the smarts while on Idol.
