American Idol
 

The official thread of AI3 - and here's a little funny to kick things off:

AI in the workplace

I love Fantasia. She's unique, she can "sang," and her name rocks!

Discuss!!

Ugh...
 

I couldn't care less about AI anymore. Last year, I was sucked into rooting for Clay *Barf* Aiken, who turned out to be a jerk.

I'm sticking with Justin...:) I miss the charm and non-egos on AI 1.

LMAO at that guy smackin' her upside the head!!! :lol:

I *looooooooooooooooove* Fantasia.

Girl has some pipes and, finally, there is someone with a UNIQUE voice on that show. Until she came along, they all sang the same damn songs and they all sounded like each other, but this gal picks good stuff and sounds original. The other contestants should take notice.

My fav. was the one that looked like Mickey Rooney in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" "Misssyy GOOWWWW WWWHIITTWWWYYYY -- YYOUUUUU GOO TOO FFAAWWWRRRRR TTHHHIIISSSS TTWWWIMMEEE" :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

LMAO!

I like Fantasia, but I preferred the dancer (was her name Debbie?) and the crying woman with the big hair (was her name Michelle?). The sixteen-year-old was good, too. I thought it was a strong group of eight; IMO the weakest were the Wind Beneath My Wings guy and that guy who made it into the top three.

- Jake

That girl who sang Patsy Cline was horrific. She almost popped my eardrums.

I didn't love her but thought the other two were far worse.

- Jake

Oh yeah, the two guys couldn't sing at all. I'm still shocked that Surfer Dude got into the top three. You know it was tweens that voted for that schmuck.

I voted for Diana. I like her a lot already and she can sing and has an amazing stage presence...not to mention she's absolutely adorable and quelle surprise! She's a clothed 16 year old!

The one girl sounded like the goat from last year. Mr. Walking In Memphis, IMO, wasn't really that stellar. Must have been the hair and his eyes that got America voting for him.

Re: Ugh...
 

OK, Christy... :wavey: Let me know, I have to know why you think Clay is a jerk. He is from Raleigh and went to school in Charlotte, (my home) and I know many people who know him or "know people who know him." He has always come off as a very nice and genuine guy. Did you have a run-in with him or something?

I'm just curious.

Meredith...
 

He's a smarmy character is why I don't like him anymore. I rooted for him and voted on AI2, thinking, "Oh, he seems so humble and nice." Pffttt!! I saw a video of him on the net when he was on some show (Crap, wish I could remember which show, a news show, about the AI tour). Anyways, he was acting like a complete jackass and diva-ish about an audio technical thing. It was ridiculous.

Also, he's said some hateful things in articles about Justin. His die-hard fans are nuts too. I mean, they need serious mental help. Also, he acts very holier than thou in articles.

Sorry, I don't mean to offend any Clay fans, I just don't like him at all anymore. JMO.

Re: Meredith...
 

Here's to the celebration of Mac fan sanity that is this board.:nod: :laugh: :wavey:

- Jake

LOL!!
 

Yeah, but we don't believe that Stevie is God. :distress:

Re: LOL!!
 

Of course not. I KNOW she is, and you (mistakenly) think Lindsey is.:wavey:

- Jake

Re: Re: LOL!!
 

Don't forget Christy's undying love for Justin Guarini ;) :D (kidding, girl! I will forever bust on you for that one :laugh: )

Re: Re: Re: LOL!!
 

I think her fantasy is to braid his head to Lindsey's.:) :wavey:

- Jake

Re: Re: Re: Re: LOL!!
 

It'll be like a two for one deal. Christy, you can't go wrong! But, I might have to fight you for the Liddy Buck....I don't want any JUSTIN hair though...

You two....
 

are sick puppies!! LMAO!!!

I don't think ANYONE on this earth is God.

If Justin had been around back in the Rumours years, they could have had a battle of the fros. :laugh:

Re: You two....
 

Well, I'm sure we've been called worse...and I know I am...Jake definately knows he is...so...thank you :laugh:

Only one problem with your BATTLE OF THE FROS theory. Justin Guarini wouldn't have been around with his pop songs...Lindsey would have turned his amp up and started playing....goodbye, guarini...that's how that would have went down :nod:

Re: Meredith...
 

Hey again Christy, :wavey:

I don't mean to start a war about this-- but could you tell me where/when he said hateful things about Justin. Do you know where I can find these articles? I've read a lot of Clay's interviews and I've never heard him really mention Justin at all, except maybe bundled together with Kelly as well, or "past AI finalists."

About Clay's fans... yes, I believe they are very devoted. (Claymates- :laugh: ) My brother's best friend's Mom is one. ;) But I highly doubt that they believe he is a god. Clay is very religious and I doubt he would want that label put on him by his fans. I'm sure the label you are talking about is in jest or admiration, just like how you say "Lindsey is a guitar god." Same thing. ;)

Again, I'm not a "Claymate," but I have nothing against him and I've never come across anyone with such "Clayhate" as you. I think he's talented and I am happy for all his successes, and all the money he has given to charity (specifically, his autistic foundation) and to his former school (my university, UNC-Charlotte).

:nod:

I think that Clay's fans need mental help just as much as any fans need mental help-- Clay, Kelly, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, FLEETWOOD MAC, Hilary Duff or anybody else! :lol:

LOL!!
 

Well, I'll have to go a'searchin' for the articles where he dogged JG. I'll try to find them for ya.

I don't hate him, I just don't like his high and mighty attitude now that he's had so much success.

I'm also bitter at how he was hyped so much and Justin was crapped on by RCA and his CD was not promoted.

Another thing I am mad about...is that his charity work is touted out for everyone to fawn over. Justin Guarini's fans raised quite a bit of money for Habitat for Humanity and Justin matched it and NOBODY wanted to do a news story on THAT. He wouldn't have done it anyways.

Here ya go...

In this article, his "tone" that I am reading is condescending towards certain people AND he says that Justin's smoothness gives him the willies. :rolleyes:

Fine, if you don't like Justin, but to say something mean like that in an article...CLASSLESS.

Also, Justin has NEVER, EVER, EVER said one bad thing about Clay or any other AIer. He's been overly positive in his comments about everyone. Clay has said that Justin only came in 2nd because of his looks.

Also, he never seems to say he loves his fans or appreciates their support. He called them "weird" in one interview. Yeah, really nice. :distress:

That 16 year old girl reminded me alot of Stevie belting out Rhiannon. I got THE MUSIC IN ME I GOT THE MSIC IIIIN MEEEE. She's the best person to ever be on American Idol by far. well I still got love for Ruben. I actually think he's had the best post-idol song anyones had yet with Sorry 2004.

I predict that the second group of eight will be very weak. I thought the two brothers were bad at the auditions.
But I think that woman whom Simon called fat will be in this next round, and I like her. I hope she makes himn eat his words.

- Jake

I agree, the Wind Beneath My Wings guy was no good and Michelle made me cry! She was so genuine and excited, you could tell she really loves to sing and not just for a bunch of arrogant "look at me shake my ass" reasons.

Yes! The redhead, right? I hope she does well, she seems very rocking! I am rooting for the Bulgarian girl (no, NOT that creepy chick who sounded like a man at the auditions!) - the young one who said her family came here before she was born, or when she was a baby or something like that. My dad is from Bulgaria & I want to see her do well! She's not in the 2nd round, though...

Paula

The one with the man's voice (Bullwinkle's Natasha meets Donatella Versace meets Old Man River) was from Cypress. I still think she was the worst out of everybody, with Scatgirl in second.

Did you see they're planning a special that will include the She Bang guy?:laugh:

- Jake

Re: Here ya go...
 

Let's not forget the comments Justin made on some of those E! 101 Greatest... lists. Some of them were pretty scathing. ;) :laugh:

No, she's Bulgarian, but she said won a singing competition in Cypress (it must have been pretty bad if she won, holy crap!) Actually, I shouldn't defend her - what am I doing...I mean to say, yes, she's a manly Greek woman, not Bulgarian, lol! The first thing I thought of when she opened her mouth was Maya Rudolph's impression of Donatella on SNL - LMAO! Did anyone see it last week - Donatella had Courtney Love (played by Drew Barrymore) over, it was hilarious!

The SheBang guy was the best, he's famous now for being terrible. I lol when I saw Tiff's (enchantedsln) pic of him as her signature here.

Paula

My mistake. Hell, if Bulgaria wants her, it can have her.
I loved her dramatic head movements as she sang.:laugh:

- Jake

"Wheeeeeeeerrrrrreee did yoooooooooouuuuuuuu sleeeeep last niiiiiight? And doooooooooo yoooooooouuu luuuuuuuuuuuuv huuuuuuuur? Do yoooooooooouuuuu luuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvv huuuuuuuuuur?"

:laugh:

Bulgarians should not do Cher. I thought she was a man at first with some really low hanging...

I never knew it was Cher. I can name maybe five Cher songs, and that's enough for me.

- Jake

It was Cher done by a she-thing. Where does one get a voice like that? Doesn't make tourists want to vacation in Bulgaria, that's for sure.

Don't generalize. Deaf tourists can be more than happy.

- Jake

:laugh:

She'd drive everyone out of her own country, so there'd be nothing for tourists to tour.

BWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Paula

PS - Bulgaria is very beautiful, but I must admit it was a bit painful listening to some of my drunken cousins sing old folk songs :o

Briana likes Fleetwood Mac:

USA Today

(Contains spoiler info on tonight's performances)

Correction: The girl who sang "Some Kinda Wonderful" last nite is the FM fan....

Tonight is sucking big time. I'm about to turn it off and they're only half way through. This? Is horrendous. :distress:

Every single one sucked tonight. It was unbearable. If this is the best talent out there...:rolleyes:
