Top 9 Performance Discussion

I just can't get over the fact that they saved Michael. Even Simon agreed? What's AI coming to? The only logical reason I see it is that the judges are trying to make the season less of a drag. If Michael goes, the number of good singers left are really few, perhaps that's why they saved Michael, just to save the show. Which sucks, they should totally look at the bigger picture! What if people like Siobahn, Lee or Crystal becomes a victim of a surprise elimination somewhere... Man...
Now I hope that Katie doesn't go home next week. Bleah.

Yes, I was convinced Andrew was going home, and judging from his facial expression, he thought his time was up. :ascared But shocked? YES! Using the judges save on Michael shocked me. They still have a couple of weeks, why didn't they save it for someone more likely to have a chance to win.
Joab had the bottom 3 right, but he has to post now before the show so we are prepared. :lol:

The point is we don't need just a good singer, we need someone to win it all.. and that person is not Mike.

OOPS! :-[ :lol:
Michael won't win, he'll be eliminated long before the final 2 or 3. Being in the bottom was not a good sign for him and being the lowest vote getter was worse. He'll have to rally his voting base to stay much longer. :umn: (Not that I don't like him, I think he's good just not the type of singer that will win AI.)

Yup, I totally agree with that. Michael's an awesome singer and apparently has lots of personality but not what it takes to win AI. Oh well. I'm thinking that the judges are confident that those who deserve to win, the voters will vote them through. So they've decided that their job is to save those who might not win, yet deserve a chance to stay. I mean, looking at the previous seasons, so far the winners all deserved it. And prior to season 8, there was no such thing as the save, but America got it right each time. (Well maybe other than season 2 and 5.) And in season 8, Matt didn't win anyway, but Kris did deserve the title. So I guess the judges could be banking on the voters to just take their winner all the way through.
Having said that, being spared elimination might give Mike more time, into the final 6 maybe. My ideal final 6 would be the three girls plus Lee, Casey and Aaron, but Mike could replace either Katie or Aaron. Sigh. We've got to accept the fact that Mike got saved, and trust the viewers not to let a potential winner go. Geez.
