Tell it like it is, Simon!

I've been reading a little on the message boards at the american idol website. Everyone has their opinions, but it looks like there is some general agreement that Aloha, Lindsey, and Celena were not the best last night. My problem is that I like all of the girls. I don't care if they didn't blow me away last night. I think they are all talented and unique and cool in their own ways. I will hate to see any of the girls go tonight. Based on their performances last night, how I feel about them in general (including their past performances), and some other random factors-- I think that Lindsey and Celena should be voted off. I am afraid, though, that Janay may be voted off. I like her, though. I think she is cute, cool, and real. She has a lot of potential and I consider her to be the underdog in the competition. Carrie Underwood made a huge mistake in her song choice. It was just too ambitious. Not sure if she deserves credit for that or not. One thing I like about this competition is that the judges (Simon in particular) just have to tell the truth. Cut through the b.s. Yes, Simon can be tactless, but he says what everyone already knows deep down if they'll just admit it. What good does it do to deceive the contestants or ourselves. If the performance sucked-- say so!
