The Top 10 Show!

Songs Theme Was:
"The Year They Were Born"!
Last Night it was the 'Top 10' who performed on the New Stage! The Top 10 of them in a 1 & 1/2 Hour show!
Here are our 'scores', (based on 1-10, 10 being highest), on each performance with the 4th column showing the difference between my score and Tina's score. The 'contestants' are listed in order of performance during the night, NOT by numerical score:

First of all... A few general notes:
Yesterday morning we had some news from Back East... Tina's Aunt, who raised her, passed away after fighting cancer for several months. Tina and I watched Idol last night after making plans to close off auctions after this Thursday evening, cancelling the others that were closing up to a week later, shut down the eBay store as of Thursday evening (first time ever), make travel arrangements, and get ourselves ready to travel this weekend.
Comments will be shorter than usual this blog post... we will blog about the results show tomorrow, and stop blogging for a week shortly after that... Comments option is turned off on this eBay Blog... our non-ebay blog's comments options are always on.
Tina's comments: She was pleased that Simon agreed with her on David A's performance... it was a 'theme-park' song and performance! Tina believes that Jason should go after last night performance, but that Ramiele could be voted off....
Michael's comments: Michael was pleased that Simon was more in agreement with his reactions to the performances, Last week for a change they disagreed on several performances. Also, Michael realizes that Randy was a little under the weather being sick, but Randy was way out there praising several mediocre performances, which was unusual. No comment on Paula's comments... too far out or overly nice.... as usual! Michael believes that either Jason or David A should go due to multiple lackluster performances... but that Syesha could be voted off this week...
What we normally do this early in the process is to vote for the highest one or two contestants per the score we gave them.
Michael voted for David Cook (9.0) and Carly Smithson (9.5) pictured above, while Tina voted for David Cook (9.5) and Michael Johns (9.0). Again David Cook is going for it all... while David Archuleta appears to be coasting again and / or picking the wrong songs!
Due to space limitations on the eBay Blog format that we first post in, we only have so much room to blog here...
