I started out searching to make sure I write the current amount of the FHA loan limits here (I’m a Realtor in Phoenix). And God knows how I got to your link here, but I laughed through the whole thing! I watched the show. Your recap is fabulous!

By the way, I am not entirely sure I have his name correct, so I’m just going to say that I think the guy who sang Smokey’s sweet song about “the tracks of love on my face” is gonna win. And I think he should keep his hair OFF of his face. The guy is drop dead gorgeous AND talented!

Sarver definitely deserved to go, but I must say that he seemed like a real stand-up guy. Did anybody else notice how as soon as Scott got pulled up on stage as bottom 3 and Ryan told Matt and Michael to join him, Michael rushed right over and put his arm around Scott? Maybe I’m reading something into it, but I was thinking how scary it would be for a blind person to be thrown into the bottom 3 followed immediately by being placed alone in the middle of a stage. I was nervous for him but Michael got over there quick.

Megan has a different tone to her voice, is beautiful, and has a mild edge (though the fancy hair combined with song choice are mellowing her to me) but she doesn’t have the artistry (isn’t that the word Kara used)/talent to hold it all together. She won’t last much longer.

the phrase “the wrong song” should be forbidden, it’s such a cop-out answer seriously. all the judges have to say is “Sorry, you fail because…” (thank you Simon for being the only original one)

It was Sarver’s time to go. I agree Megan should’ve been in the bottom three and not Matt. As for who could be the winner of it all it’s anybody (but Scott & Megan’s) game. There are a lot of great singers and it will really depend on how well they do each week. One bad week and you’re gone.

Sure thing Devon. Glad you liked it!

I agree 100% that Megan should have been in the bottom 3 this week. Still, I think she can pull out of this tailspin if she makes some magic next week. She’s got that funky tone you talk about (I just hope she leaves the attitude home).

I agree with what you said about going first. First has gotta be the worst spot to be in (unless you’re just okay). It’s easy to get forgotten up there. Still, this may turn out to be a good thing for Matt… lots of times when a favorite gets a scare in the first rounds, the fans rally in future weeks.

Scott is in serious trouble.

I’m so glad for your recap! I accidentally deleted my DVR recording of the elimination and you made me feel like I was watching the show! Matt did not deserve in any way shape or form to be in the bottom three. Megan should have been there. The only thing that I can think of is that by going first, with there being several good performances of the night, he got lost. But I hope his fans keep him safe in the future. As far as elimination, for me, it was between Scott (tired of hearing the same ol’ same ol’), Megan (unique tone, quirky personality, not much vocal range) or Matt (good, not great). Thanks again!
