Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the nurse in her dude. Nurses, having to look at sick, injured and dying people everyday, get to become a stoic lot. If you get too emotionally involved with the life and death of your patients, youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll become a wreck by the time you reach 30. Amanda, being a nurse, has come to learn to take it as they come.

oh man did you hit the nail on the head. I think I love you! Been too slow to post this but that sums it up. I was a nurse. And you get to learn priorities. How many of you here have held someone’s hand while they die? Tried to fight for someone’s life and they die? Just know you can’t do anything to save someone? It kills you inside. You have to learn to shut it off or you can’t cope. We all learned to shut it off. Doesn’t mean we don’t feel it, just have to deal with it in a different way. So at the end of the day this is a singing contest. She’s dealt with worse than criticism from Simon Cowell. I think Amanda is in an alternate universe right now and finding it hard. Superficial manipulated fame versus life and death. It’s probably all a bit surreal for her. I don’t think she is unemotional at all! She is protecting herself with the coping mechanisms we all learned.

I agree, Danny is a brat. Amanda, yep, I could see that maybe there’s some arrogance there. Or maybe she’s stubborn. Or maybe she has low self esteem but, in the South, they’d say rude.

Amanda – don’t get her at all. Talk about a spoiled brat act last night. Rude is what I would label her as. I don’t care if you are a nurse and you have to distant yourself and not show emotion! I don’t care if you don’t like the song choice you were given. Good Lord girl you are in a spot that 1000 of girls would have killed for! Stop acting like a spoiled brat and get over yourself! I really hope she goes home tonight – her attitude alone was enough for me not to vote for her! A thank you last night from her would have been enough!

Danny N – that boy (and he is a boy) needs to get over himself. The act (if it is an act) needs to go. It’s inmature and not entertaining at all. He took a really good song from the 80′s Tainted Love and RUINED IT!!!

David H, David A and a few of the other guys were thoroughly entertaining Tuesday evening. The girl’s last night were a little on the boring side – no one really did an excellent job!

I’ve said my peace – I feel better now. The 2 spoiled ones need to go!!! I doubt America will agree with me – I seem to fall in the older voting group

If a plant(reocord argeement) takes a place of a non-plant eventhough the other sang better is it fair?
It happened with Aliania to some degree no.

Ramielle looked helpless last night. She did not choose a good song, she dressed down, and whatever she did with her hair did not work. She knew something wasn’t right, but I think people will vote for her just because she was so pathetic and she was really good two weeks ago.

I am one of the few who saw “The One” and I remember Syesha as being a good singer but boring. She seems to be doing the same thing at Idol. I do not like her song choices at all. I wish she would do something like she did in Hollywood, but time is running out for her.

9) Thou shalt give Ryan a contract extension and a huge raise. No matter what you think of him personally, heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the best since Dick Clark. Or maybe even better (I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t believe I said that

I agree! Ryan is terrific! (Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not hard to look at either!)

My sister would like to join you. LOL Everytime I try to show her a youtube clip of maybe Jason or Luke or Ramiele or Brooke and Ryan shows up on the screen, she goes, “Oh, look! My Ryan is cuter.” He is mainly why she watches the show. Heh.

Without these 4 (again, IMHO) I doubt I would give a rats ass.

When I see Amanda or I try to figure her out I see a woman who doesnt want to be changed. She is who she is and doesnt want to bow under the direction of TPTB or doesnt want to give up her identity. I think to that end, at THIS point in the competition, she maybe feels like fuck it. Its not worth it but as she gets closer to the prize I bet she might allow them to fiddle with her looks maybe but not how she sings. I have a feeling we havent even seen anything close to what this woman has to offer. I think she is gonna knock us out soon.

Brooke – best of the night. The only one besides Amanda that shows some semblance of a musical identity. Sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a musician, and it shows

I agree, Brooke is the real deal. Those two were the only two standouts for me. I like Asia’h too but it seems like her voice is strained. I hope for a breakout performance from her.

I missed seeing Carly, but did see the ending interview. Observation – the tatt-sleeved arms need some serious toning up.

One thing about Danny – and I love him by the way – sometimes I wonder if the whole over-the-top flamer thing annoys gay people the way the behavior of someone like Flava Flav can annoy black people (I’m african-american). I know I HATE when some idiot pops up on my TV acting out every ridiculous black stereotype in existence, even though I know that not all non-black people are even looking at the offending party that way. So as much as I get a kick out of Danny – I think he’s got hilarious comebacks, and I like that he’s not afraid to be so out there, is there a community of gay people out there that roll their eyes when he’s on the screen? Things to think about – hmm….

Danny needs to stick around for the same reason Kellie P. did in S5. (Susieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s S7 mantra: I will be entertained, I will be entertained) Exhibiting certain à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“mannerismsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , as you say, has nothing to do with it IMO.

Sue I totally agree with you… I would like Danny to stay…he is interesting, entertaining, and can sing.
