After Tuesday night’s show, Anoop needs to go.
Bad song choice, bad performance. Others messed up, too. But Anoop was the worst. (And Megan should have skipped the Bob Marley bit and gone with Norah Jones or Adele or Amy Winehouse, as the judges mentioned.)
Among the winners: Kris, Adam and Danny. All three should stay, and all three should be safe for several more weeks.
We’ll see what happens tonight.

I totally agree with you, Samiam.
This column is floundering big time. What is the story with our local network ratings? Diane always let us know right away.
Her column was lively and interesting.
HELP!

wow, Since Diane retired this section is pathetic. Either let me write it or close it.

I think KVUE made a mistake in laying off Jason Hill. He and Melissa were a great team, and, no offense, but Olga Campos is boring. The youth, energy and chemistry that Jason and Melissa had made me want to watch the morning news. It should have been last in, first out, and lay off Terri.

Right on the money regarding top three. Kris rocked! Anoop was awful but Meghan was worse. Her time to go IMHO.
