I wanna hear Bo sing "Cowboys from hell" Pantera :D

LOL!!! If he did "Walk" Mr. RK would end up personally jamming up Bo's line voting for him so many times.

They haven't had a country show this year. No guest stars either.

That should be interesting. I hope they can't do much damage to the show. My family enjoys watching it regardless of how it's run or how it's won. It's fun for me and mine to pick sides and watch them compete.

I guess it's up to Ryan for theme... Wish he would understand that people are SICK OF THE R&B and RAP stuff, rock is coming back.

You know, I wouldn't have minded the show tunes if they had picked better songs. The majority were all slow songs. "Climb Every Mountain"? I mean come on!

What about something from Chicago? Guys and Dolls? Or even Grease?

We NEED a NEW sound or we should go back to the 80's sound.

Dear God I hope you are not serious. If by 80's sound you mean Metallica and other metal bands, ok. But anything else from that decade should NEVER be considered music.

To quote a famous philosopher, there is nothing new under the sun.

Your jumble of bands thrown together as evidence of similarity can't be further from proof. The Black Eyed Peas is a hip hop group. Green Day plays pop punk. Weezer is college rock. Maroon Five is pop rock. Foo Fighters (who havent put out an album in quite a while) is the only group you could reasonably call GRUNGE rock. And I never said grunge myself. I said ROCKER. I think Bo Bice could be marketed as Kid Rock's cleaner more family friendly cousin, should he win. But if he wins, God help us all.

I'm a longtime fan of the show, despite being frustrated by the obvious "pimping" of certain contestants by the show's producers and judges.

Last season, it seemed very obvious that Fantasia was going to win based on the judges' treatment of her. I was apalled because Jennifer Hudson was so much more talented than her.

I'm seeing a lot of the same behavior toward Carrie. I think she has a good voice, but she lacks charisma and stage presence of a true performer. She just stands there like a Stepford Wife. And I don't like that she's been able to "countrify" every song genre. If that's all she's going to do, there's already a contest like that called Nashville Star.

So, if you aren't a sheep and don't particularly care to have judges throw their favorite in your face week after week, then maybe it's time to join the VFTW rogues. Also, if your favorite has already been voted off and you're bitter, then maybe it's time to join the VFTW rogues.

Like Randy Jackson? His ears are NOT working most of the time and he's just promoting the Dudes and the Dog Pound. Like it was alright fo me, man.

YEP!Randy is bad but, Paula is the WORST! She thinks everyone is good! Very irritating.

From a relatively objective point of view, two excellent singers, Nadia Turner and Anwar Robinson, have been sent home

Nadia acted like a diva - not a quality a lot of voters want in a contestant in such a forum. Anwar screwed up big-time in his choice of song last time around - if you're gonna sing a Philip Bailey part, you'd better be able to hit the high notes, and he didn't go for them at all - just like Bo put himself in jeopardy with a lame-assed rendition of Free Bird last week because he doesn't have the lung power to carry a ballad.

A man has to know his limitations, after all...
