i was really sad when Alaina left.:[ she shouldnt have gone home!

i've been depressed since thursday night when alaina got voted off. i just don't understand it. kellie, kelly, carrie, and alaina are my top four american idols. i really think that alaina will be a big star someday. but for now, i'm sad for her.

I was really surprised at first too, then after thinking about it I was'nt so surprised considering that Alaina had only about 15 seconds of airtime during the audition rounds. That made for very little time for the public to get to know her and for her to gain a following.

I'm getting really sick of their big push for that annoying and tattoo mamed Carly Smithson. She's gotten more airtime than anyone by far. I wish she would go back to her Ireland 'homeland'. She will never be an 'american' idol.

i wish alaina could have waited a couple years to try out. she had just turned 17 a few days earlier. but it is what it is. kellie, kelly, carrie and aliana. i'll follow their careers and support them as long as i live. nothing under the sun can change that.

i think she deserve a good record deal, like... there are so few girls making success on the country chart, only Carrie,Taylor,Kellie and Miranda... many women are signed and they don't make success, even Kristy got a record deal in the past, i know Alaina can make some success...Lyric Street is always signing people from AI, Phil got a wonderful record deal and his single is not even making success, i wish Alaina had one chance.
i'm really missing her.

I certainly sympathize with everyone's surprise and disappointment in Alaina going home. It was unexpected and undeserved. She had just, the day before, become my favorite in this year's competition.
