um, Bon Jovi was Top 6 week, not top 5. In fact, there was no Top 5 week that year
It would have been the top 5 week so why not include it. Lighten up, bob.
Exactly, Bob. It was in the place of the Top 5. They didn't skip over it, like how in Season 1 they went from Top 10 to Top 8 b/c they sent two people home. Because of Idol Gives Back, there were 2 Top 6 weeks.
Any chance of limiting voting to once per computer/location? It's painfully obvious that there's a problem here these past couple of weeks.
Not only was Clay Aiken's Solitaire the best 'Week 5' performance, it's one of the all-time best AI performances, period. Just ask Simon Cowell!
PM, the way the poll is set up, you can only vote once per location. I honestly think one "Claymate" or whatever you call David Archuleta fans or whomever - one fan tweets or puts it on Facebook or a message board and they all come here to vote.
How, how, HOW did you exclude Tamyra Gray's "A House Is Not A Home"?! It's indisputably one of the best Idol performances EVER, and not just in the top five!
I'd have also included Fantasia's "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life," Bo Bice's "Stand By Me," Taylor Hicks's "Something," and Adam Lambert's "Feeling Good"... but hey, maybe it's just me.
