Who watched it tonight?
The top 12 guys sang, what do you all think of the singers? I think that the best guy was number 9, Chris S. The chubby guy with the curly hair and funny sense of humor. I voted for him. I also liked Rudy, the other Chris, Nick, Blake, and really liked AJ and Phil.
The second singer, who's name I didn't even bother writing down... I hope he's the one that gets dropped.
American Idol is wrong. Period.

I don't bother to vote until they're a little further along and have managed to sort themselves out a bit. Though some of them had ok voices, I felt that few of them had much stage presence tonight.

Lots of things are wrong.
Including being judgmental.

Usually I don't either - in fact, this is the first season I've decided I'm gonna vote each night.

I apologize if this was taken as judgemental or offensive. Not my intent. Simply expressing my opinion of the show, just like everybody else has the right to. Why don't people in general assume the best, not the worst?
I don't like the show either. I think we should form a anti-cry baby story but oh so pretty thread :D
Yo! Chill it out, my friends, or you'll get spanked.
And not the good kind of spankings, either.
No one wants to make Bree testy when she spent 16 hours in a computer lab yesterday, do they?
Make nice or I'll make my scary face.
Quote from: "Bree"Make nice or I'll make my scary face.
Does it look like this: :ugly: ?
I was just teasing them :(
Cali, that was a general reply to everyone, not a specific reply to you. I just didn't get in there earlier because of the afore mentioned 16 hours in the lab yesterday. ;)
Just remember the board motto: Fun will be had by all... or else.
:stock1:
But does it Bree? Does it look like :ugly: ?
Or else what? Maybe I'll like the punishment... :angel12:
I don't like American Idol, myself.
Then again, I generally don't like anything not-science-fiction, so, bias.
American Idol and Deal or No Deal are my reality tv guilty pleasures. Especially American Idol. I'll catch The Apprentice every now and then too... but AI and DoND are the ones I actually look forward to and AI is the one I keep up with regularly.

I like the way her mind works.
I can not speak without bias on American Idol, as I can't. freaking. escape. it.
I get that Birmingham is proud that 2 winners and 1 runner up have been from here, but when Taylor Hicks leads the news every night followed by, "And coming up after the break, seven churches have burned down in a mysterious ongoing arson case..."
:datz:
Prioritize, people!
If none of the finalists are from Alabama this time around, maybe I can relax. ;)
I have never actually seen American Idol...
When I did a semester in Ireland though, we watched the European version of it. I think it was called "Euro Star." In any case, it was lots of fun. Everyone thinks Simon is mean (strangly enough the same judges do the European version... how do they have enough time for both?) but I think he is awesome!

Oh I know! I love Simon! He just tells it like it is, is all. And actually, especially in the eps where the really awful folks who think they can sing audition, the 'meaner' he is, the more I laugh. Maybe I'm mean too. lol

I am sure that if he said such things to me in real life I would probably cry. However, I would never audition for Idol because I know I can't sing! So therefor, I can laugh at his somewhat mean honesty. :bounce:

You need to understand our Panda. She is...
...uh...
...she is...
Well! She's Panda!
I have to admit, I only ever watched the first couple weeks when everyone was horrible. When they actually start getting good is when I totally lose interest. The first couple weeks is like a train wreck though. You really can't stop watching even though you know you should. Its wrong to take that much pleasure in another's pain (except on Triad... Here I just revel in delicious evilness :evil2: )
I think it mostly doesn't interest me because it seems like the same singers every time over and over. And I always figured if they were really that good, they should have a record deal already.
But, I have come to really like Kelly Clarkston. Her music wasn't at all like I thought it would be.
Have you ever noticed how after Idol they all seem to become country singers?
Better than becoming rap stars :D
I love Kelly Clarkson's music! She's fun
Daughtry isn't country!
Quote from: "Dana"Better than becoming rap stars :D
Now that's a matter of opinion... :D
*shudders* Country. The only genre of music not to be found in my eclectic playlist.

Obviously that is why there are so many different types of music... because you can't please everyone! :bounce:

:confused1:
Which went country after Idol?
Well, there are a few country singers I can listen to (I actually really like the Dixie Chicks for the most part) but yeah, after living in Nevada for a year, most country just makes me cringe.
Though I actually do enjoy a good rodeo... Comes from going to university in a town that hosted the very first professional bullriding competition (as in Bullriding only, not just a rodeo).
Ok, so the girls sang tonight. I voted for #12, Lakisha. But I really, really liked Stephanie (1), Jordin (6), Haley ( 8 ) and Gina (11) too.
So... The guys sang again last night....
Anyone else find it odd that that one dude dedicated his performance to his mom and dad and than sang Marvin Gay's "Let's Get It On"?

I found several of the dedications to be disturbing.
Actually, several of the guys are disturbing.
But I still like the show.
Amanda, that's...uh...really creepy. Wow. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, though, considering the kind of people who humiliate themselves like that on TV. Gotta be something wrong with them ;)
Ok... watching the ep where they send folks home... and let me just say that AJ was robbed! Sanjaiya (however you spell his name! lol ) should have been booted, not him. The kid is cute and all, but he's just too damned shy and sang his entire song like he was scared the mic was gonna bite him.
Robbed!

I agree.
Now get into the chat room.
Sanjaya or however that kid's name is spelled must have made a deal with the devil. There is no other way he could not have been voted off. He was AWFUL!
Sundance was robbed. ROBBED!!!
:banghead:
Even Simon was shocked.
Sanjaya? What a joke.
*sigh*
Tonight's show was pretty bad. About half of them deserve to be eliminated if we're basing it just on tonight's show.
Of course, Sanjaya was the worst of the lot.

I dunno.... at least HE didn't forget his words.
LaKisha gets my vote tonight
Quote from: "Dana"LaKisha gets my vote tonight
Melinda Doolittle got mine. She's goofy looking but she's a great singer.

*falls off chair laughing/choking in hysterics*
I so needed that!

She really is a great singer! It's really between her and LaKisha. But the last girl who sang tonight...Jordan? I think that's her name. She did a really good job on The Land Before Time song. I grew up with that movie (and song!) and I loved how she sang it. :)
Those three were the only decent ones. The others -- I probably could have walked into the local bar and heard better.
Quote from: "vix"Those three were the only decent ones. The others -- I probably could have walked into the local bar and heard better.
Yeah... Even Chris S. and Blake were a little disappointing and I usually love them.
Phil really didn't deserve bottom three.
And Sanjaya remains?
And in reality, I'm only posting this to convince myself that the board still works.
Quote from: "vix"Phil really didn't deserve bottom three.
And Sanjaya remains?
I knew Sanjaya would be because I was sure that Brandon or Hailey would go home. I mean, they BOTH forgot their words. But he better throw something down next week cause whatever wave he's riding on is gonna crash eventually.
A friend of mine thinks he's TRYING to go home... singing badly on purpose (because, his audition was actually good) cause he's homesick or something. But for some reason, people keep voting for him so he manages to squeak through. He didn't seem enthused to be remaining last night.
Maybe next week he'll say "What the hell." and give up sabotageing himself and just wow us.
One can hope anyway....
Did you happen to catch the theme for next week? I missed it!
This may be why he remains: http://votefortheworst.com/ (http://votefortheworst.com/)
Nope, didn't catch the theme.
Quote from: "vix"This may be why he remains: http://votefortheworst.com/ (http://votefortheworst.com/)
Makes sense to me. And I couldn't BELIEVE Sanjaya is still there! I could HERE his bad notes and off key awfulness all the way across the room THROUGH my headphones. *Shivers* I don't even WATCH the show and I want him gone.
Great effing hell! GINA???
Gina is SO much better than Hailey and it's a crime that Sanjaya wasn't at least in the bottom 3.
:zensur:
Stephanie should still be in the running and she went a few weeks ago.
And that talentless twerp remains -- even though his hair wasn't even interesting this week and his unshaved face just looked dirty.
Hailey and her legs left this week. For once the bottom three was correct -- Senjaya wasn't in it but he actually sounded better than the other three and now has his other category of "It doesn't matter who is in the bottom three -- he just needs to go!"
And I know, Amanda and I are the only ones who actually read and comment here because we are the only ones who will admit to watching. But this is a reminder that when it gets to the finals and you really want to comment, just sign onto AIM and you can snark away with the two of us.
I admit to having seen part of an episode... wasn't overly impressed.
Sanjaya is gone! :blob8:
Sanjaya is gone! :blob4:
Sanjaya is gone! :blob3:
:cheers: :occasion9: :smilebox:
Can you tell that I'm happy?
I'm SO excited about that too, Vix :D He should've been voted off a loooong time ago!
Should have heard my sister when that happened. I was scared my eardrums would pop and the dog would start barking she was screaming so high.
Melinda and Jordin blew me away tonight :) Loved them!
Best two tonight: Blake and Melinda.
Blake was just amazing, I mean Amazing. And so hot with dark hair!
I'm worried about Jordan... she just really wasn't good tonight.
Jordin and Chris were the worst last night -- really not very good.
However, it's anyone's guess who will be sent home because the counts will be combined with last week's.
Of course, were the final two of last week the real final two? That would be Jordin and Chris.
And Simon was right about Blake: people will either love it or hate it.
To me -- :2thumbs:
Blake was amazing. :love5: And Melinda was really good too. But Blake...he gets my vote!
Here's Blake for those who want to see the amazingness (or just watch it again!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YXYh81RZFw
I had to watch it again -- truly amazing!
I was afraid that Blake was going to go.
Glad he stayed!
Last night's Idol was nifty. Now, I don't like Idol and I think I may have said this. But I'm a huge Bee Gees fan, and Eric's mum knows that. Well, she called me down and said "hey, Barry Gibb is going to be singing!" So I watched it. And WOW, I can't believe he's that old and can STILL sing that amazingly.
I felt a bit sad that Melinda was eliminated, because she really was the most solid performer.
However, this week all 3 did extremely well, so it was a difficult call.
And of course, I've yet to vote.
This week I'll have to do so!
