It seems to me viewers thought Phillip was the better performer than Joshua, however I agree with Randy that Joshua really knows how to pull the audience into a spiritual experience with him. I was singing praised when I was able to see the show on Wednesday morning, rather than waiting until the weekend, when I would normally have time to watch. I am so thankful for how I have Auto Hop on my PrimeTime Anytime recordings so I can watch commercial free. That saved me over 40 minutes of time watching so I could get the whole thing in before I left for work. Now I can talk with everyone else around the Dish water cooler and not worry about hearing the results accidentally.

I did not say Philip deserved to win. I just said it was not a conspiricy. Jessica deserves to win hands down. Joshuas was way to self absourbed and it showed and people do not like that. Great voice for broadway. Not as an idol for young people.

Josh is so annoying. See the strick? Straight years with white guys with guitars. the industry has no place for Joshua’s growls. I bet Jessica will lose. She is nothing compared to Philip. No place for them on the industry. We will be pouring ourr votes for Philip he is to talented!!! He deserves to win!!! WE LOVE YOU P2!!! Vote for philipp until the end of the show!!!

Well I was really upset late night. I watching along with my mother each show this was great for us. We love watching Josh sing and his showmanship. Along with Phillip they did not just stand a sing but put creativity in performance unlke Jessica she can sing but just not ready for stage. My mother and I are not watching anymore not exciting anymore.

I don’t understand why anyone would be upset (-aside from die-hard Josh fans). The three of them were great in their own way. But that’s what this show is about. What people would want as their “idol”. It’s a bonus if they’re a great singer. I’m sorry but I just think the Jessica save was probably a set up for more viewer ratings. She deserves to be at the top 2. And if you’re talking about race at least it’s time for a Mexican Filipino to take a win. Hispanics are also a majority race of this country

The elimination of Josh reminded me that we have came very far in racial relations in this country. as a veteran who was injured fight for this country I would have hiped that we as a nation had come farteher than this. Phillip and Jessica are good singer but do not compare in any way to Josh and I agree with many others that it more popular to be a white boy from GA than a blake make who sings his ass off every night from LA. so white is right and black is out just like it has always been.

I honestly don’t know why everybody’s so upset about Joshua leaving. Don’t get me wrong, he has an amazing voice but he was predictable and boring to watch. He always sounded the same to me and wasn’t that interstitial after a while. I think he caters to an older crowd and, while he might go far, he wasn’t American Idol material. As a teen I believe that whoever wins should be young and youthful, even though Josh was only 20, his style was more old fashioned and it didn’t make me want to buy one of his CD’s. Best of luck to Phillip and Jessica!

Very frustrated, was up last night voting for Joshua. He really should have gone through to the finals. People say he screams, they fail to realize every singer has a distinctive sound and he grew up singing gospel.

Jennifer Lopez is right when she says he has a gift. It’s the whole package- he has a lot of soul and passion and I’m certain with the right management he’d do great things.

Jessica has a fab voice, sometimes she does a bit too much with it showing off. Joshua is also over the top some times but you feel his soul.

I stopped watching Phillip Phillips a long time ago. He just doesn’t have it. But again, that’s just one opinion- mine. There must be something that others see which I’m sadly missing.

Best of tommorow to them both and may the best man/ woman win:-).

How could Phil Phillips be original??? I can name hundreds of vocalists of local bands who can sing like him.. His voice doesn’t even stand out.. Vocally, he is WEAK! Most boring finale ever. Phil is no match for Jessica. Jess vs. Joshua would have been more exciting… Young girls and gays vote for Phil because he is hot. So frustrating…

american idol is officially a joke. phillip phillips can’t even sing. the show should be renamed ‘teenage girls’ idol’, and then cancelled.

Well said aletha.. This show has turned into the pretty white boy show and its getting real old.. All you have to do to win AI is be a good looking young white boy.. But remember althea its all about their tv ratings and phil is every teenie boopers dream.. So sad its come to this…

I am truly disappointed in Joshua leaving at this juncture where he showed a gift, showmanship and true American spirit. The “save” afforded Jessica led to this unfortunate situation. Joshua and Phillip were/are clearly representative of what viewers want.
Idol is starting to lose its intended focus (and viewers like me)!

When is American joke going away. Why is it that after Jordan Sparks the only Americans that have talent are white boy want to be rockers. For real? What about all the diversified talent in
America.
