I read this today. Never sure how 100% true any article is but thought it was kinda funny.

See, this is why we love Megan. Even her brother is working to piss off the judges. She must have a pretty cool family! Do you remember someone shouting out "broken record" to Kara last night? Turns out it was Megan's brother CJ. Whitney Pastorek from EW details the hilarious events [ew.com] at the live show last night where Kara was pissed:
"And just as I'd finished hooting with laughter at the brilliant cruelty of Kara opening with "I really like you, but" -- you know it's bad when they skip the outfit and go straight for the heart -- a voice interrupted the DioGuarbot with "Broken record!" The voice seemed to come from Megan's family, and sure enough, her brother CJ was more than happy to raise his hand and take responsibility. Kara ran off the rails and handed her flaming caboose to Paula... Once the cameras were pointed elsewhere, Kara made mocking faces to Paula and Simon, presumably in reference to CJ talking back while she was trying to be authoritative. Paula and Simon ignored her... On her way out for break, Kara and her burly bodyguards stomped over to Megan's family to have a little chat. Kara did not look happy...


On our way to the Grove parking structure, two of my journalist buddies and I ran into Megan's brother CJ... we asked him what Kara wanted when she came stomping over to them. CJ said she seemed mad, and wanted to know what he meant by "broken record." He responded with "'Package artist' is your package phrase," which made her stomp away. When she came back, she tried to make light of it, but I get the sense that for the Familia de Alegria, Kara is now pretty much on notice for good."
You tell her, CJ. Kara is useless on this show and it's about time someone mocked her to her face. Awesome family! Though this probably means the producers will probably send Megan packing this week since they hate when people challenge the show.

Quote from BigB0882 :
Could they make it any more obvious how badly they want us to vote for Lil? First she gets featured front and center during last weeks results show performance. Then this week she is near the end and they bring out her kids for the sympathy vote. Not one judge has mentioned how flat she is and how amazingly unoriginal she is or how much she is lacking in uniqueness. It really is bothering me because much better people, like Allison, are being stuck in the bottom 3 and Lil is flatly singing her way to the final 3.
I know! I don't have a problem with Lil, personally (Though anything with the word Lil in it bugs me for some reason, lol)...but I almost felt bad for her last night because she was so off on her singing...and then the judges are all like "Well it was a poor song choice but your voice was so amazing! You're such an amazing singer!!" No...she wasn't an amazing singer last night. She was flat and boring.

I pulled an April Fool's joke on myself last night. I went to the DVR menu to delete Biggest Loser and hit the wrong thing and deleted Idol by mistake. I did not get to see it but doesn't seem like I missed much.

I just got to watch last night's episode.

Bottom three:

Anoop
Matt
Megan

If Megan is voted out the judges will save her this week. Otherwise Matt is going home.

Do you really think they'll save Megan? They've criticized her almost every week for everything besides her looks.

I think they would save Matt before they save Megan. Matt has a great voice. Anoop had attitude, probably because his frat buddies were in the audience but...I think he may go home...

Maybe they should have a special episode where the judges get to compete in critiques, or maybe an american gladiator's event (or how about biggest loser, amazing race, survivor, you name it!).

America will vote and see who are the top 3!

I like Paula because she's always happy and drunk. Reminds me of an old gf from college-not sure if she even knows I left her yet. laugh out loud

Wow, I can hardly watch this season. I just fast forward through most of it.
Sorry, but... tattoo lady has worn me down. Blind piano player is too sad and needs to get taken out to funky town and get away from his parents, maybe break a leg and know pain so he can stop singing those songs vomit

Elvis was fun, glad to see he lost some weight. Told you he wasn't dead!

Anoop... the ONLY reason why I watched the show this season is soooo disappointing WTF a one trick Slum Dog! Darn You!

Kara!!! Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) You will never replace Paula or Randy or Simon, so why are you here? You are not warm and fuzzy, you don't have a signature pet name for people Dawg and you lack the vital British backbone.
So Dudess, you are the weakest link.
I say Good day to you! LMAO

And its sad how there are great voices on not so good bodies and fabulous bodies on not so good voices and bad tattoos on hunched blonds
and deep voices on girls and high voices on guys and how you can remember some names and can't remember others.

I saw the first three American Idol on tour shows but the not so enthused on the rest.

I agree, except I think they will save Lil if she goes. I don't necessarily think they should (I don't think she can win), I just think that they will. I don't think they should save Matt either.

I know Autumn's the resident singing expert, but I really didn't think Lil was off last night. Maybe I should listen to it again.

Ugh....no way. She tries to hard and rarely adds anything in my opinion. Between Randy and Simon, they usually get it right. It think she's dead weight.... just takes away time from the singing.

Nah...that was just my opinion. I only listened to it once and it's not like I hung on every note to see if it was on or not. I just wasn't fond of her last night. If she gets voted off I'm almost positive the judges will use the save for her.

She's just not in the same class with the rest. Time to go home.
