The AMERICAN IDOL Thread.

[amber]

Did you guys not see my post waaay back in this thread about Constantine's stalking and restraining order?? I have a hard time rooting for him - and his double chin is distracting.....I wonder why the smokinggun.com hasn't dug up his dirt yet....

Dreams is on the radio right now! :thumbsup:
No, I totally didn't see that. But now I want to...

[Livia]

Well, I'm not gonna make you dig thru 51 pages of this thread.....

One of the file clerks in our office - her cousin dated Constantine. They had a bad breakup and he stalked her, which then led to her filing a restraining order against him. The boy can sing, I'll give him that. But...eeewww w/ the creepy history. There's also a vid clip of him floating around on the internet - he was on Elimidate (or something like it), acting like a total dork! :nod:

Wow, he looks too self involved to stalk anybody. Nevertheless, that is creepy. And...Elimidate? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
awesome info, Livia.

[SuzeQuze]

I was just happy Bo wasn't gone last night. He is great, and he lives about 10 minutes from me (doubt he will now--will probably move to california!)

Oh man, 10 minutes? You probably even know people who know him then! :laugh: He's awesome.

Got this from another board. It was posted in the "Queen News" section.

I just watched a young 29 year old American Idol contestant named
Constantine Maroulis perform Bohemian Rhapsody - and absolutely destroy the
place with it. In a competition geared towards 15-25 year olds, he got a
standing ovation and Simon Cowell used the word "astounding" to describe the
performance, which I'd wholeheartedly agree with.

He did the first verse, and then the "Rock" section up until the end of the
song. Completely incredible. It wasn't Kareoke at all, he wasn't cabaret",
although his mannerisms were very theatrical, you didn't get a sense that he
was necessarily trying to be a "mock Freddie". It was legitimately powerful
and it stood up on its own (as far as i'm concerned).

Hey, maybe Brian May can whore out Queen a little more and get CONSTANTINE to go on the road with them!!

[Kelly]

I obviously do not know the details but people do have bad breakups all the time. Those type of personal things, where both people probably have two different takes on what really happened should not really affect whether he wins based on his talent. Scott obviously has not been THAT affected and he wacked his lady over the head with a phone. Much worse. I am not saying I do not understand, stalking is serious but there are degrees and he is still talented. That said, I like Carrie. She is boring but her voice is incredible. Constantine is good and getting better but the camera mugging is so friggin annoying. However, if he really hurt someone, he might not be a good candidate to win. Its just we all have skeletons of some sort, some worse than others.

[cliffdweller]

Forgive me for saying this, but if you put Carrie's voice and showmanship into a less attractive girl's body, she'd be gone.

I don't know if I agree with this. I thought that too until I heard her sing "Alone" and "Love is a Battlefield" where she all but came out of herself. Although she butchered certain parts of Battlefield, her delivery and vocal strength were outstanding on those songs so I know there's a rocker lurking in her somewhere.

Unfortunately though, her heart is in country and I fear that if she wins it will be all country all the time. Ugh. But she's got vocal talent for sure.

Oh ****. I forgot all about his stalking past! I can totally see it too. As for Elimidate---EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! I hate that show! He's really scouring the reality shows for some fame huh? :laugh:

[Lee]

Carrie is still the one to beat, JMO, though she needs dance lessons! :nod:

I couldn't believe Bo was in the bottom three. Scott & Anthony need to go.

He can stalk me anytime.

I asked them for a concert rider for FM - they emailed me right back and said that they'd try - this was way back on the first US leg. :shrug:

Nadia thought about doing GYOW!

MTV (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1500184/20050414/index.jhtml?headlines=true)

I was thinking about [Fleetwood Mac's] "Go Your Own Way" and then I was like, "You know what? I feel passionate about this 'When I Dream' song, it's something people haven't heard before. And I want to show them that." It probably would have been, in most opinions, the right song to do, but as soon as I start thinking about what the judges want to hear, what's gonna make them like me, that's when I steer away and say, "I'm gonna make them appreciate the art."

Everyone should do FM songs! all the time! :laugh: They are a bit challenging, though, as are most rock songs. that's probably why they don't do them as much.... :shrug: It's like you have to have that special voice (which, IMO, Nadia did) to pull them off.

That would have been interesting. I can't picture her singing it, but I'm sure it would have been cool! Damn....why did she have to go with the other one :shrug:

[Kelly]

Maybe the SG has not picked up on Constantine because he was never arrested? Was he charged with stalking? If someone sought a restraining order based on their perceived fear, they might not be able to find records like that so easily? I know the SG digs and digs to see what they can find on all the reality tv people.....I know someone dug up that God awful elimidate footage. He looks so ridiculous.
I dunno, but the guy should be judged based on his talent...unless he is a complete psycho all the time. I have had some bad fights with an Ex and probably could have charged him with stalking after he phoned me fifty times a day and showed up at my work. Once he found a new girltoy, he forgot all about me.
Either way, Constantine has stepped it up in the last three weeks and has been sounding great. Plus the girls seem to like the camera mugging, which I hate.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Oh Vonzell. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways........

<3 <3 <3


Oh Scott. How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.....


:( :( :(

[GypsySorcerer]

Vonzell rocked. She's great.

I hope Scott goes.

[amber]

I'm cracking up right now cause Constantine did that BeeGee's song they were just making fun of on SNL last week.... :laugh: (BeeGees rule, by the way)

By the way, scott sounded good tonight. :shrug:

They all did, really. Anwar was prolly the worst, but still not bad. I still want Scott's skank ass outtie.

[amber]

Uh! Suprise, boring guy picked a boring song.... :rolleyes:

[skcin]

I thought everyone was good, but I liked Anwar & Anthony least. *YAWN*

Constantine's eye makeup was very distracting, he was so-so.

Scott, Carrie, Bo & Vonzell were best, IMO.

Bottom 3:
Anthony
Anwar
Scott

[cliffdweller]

I'm cracking up right now cause Constantine did that BeeGee's song they were just making fun of on SNL last week.... :laugh: (BeeGees rule, by the way)

:laugh: :laugh: I totally forgot about that! His white blazer did nothing for me.

Carrie and Vonzell really showcased their pipes last night! Wow!

I still think it's going to be Carrie and Constantine in the final. Everyone else will drop by the wayside. Vonzell is turning out to be quite the contender though.

[WildInTheWind]

I missed the first half hour. :( From what I saw....Bo and Vonnzell were great. I can't say for anyone else. If someone cool gets voted off this week.....I am going to be PISSED! I don't see how Scott or Anthony can make another round.

I sang that "The Barry Gibb talk show..." this morning after they re-played Con's song back on the radio. LOL!

"Robin, do you have anything to add?"

"No....no I don't."

:lol:

Con's eye makeup rocked...it wasn't too much, and he looked good to me. Ya'll know I love Lindsey's Tusk era look. Hehe. ;)

Goodbye, Scott, Anwar, Carrie and Anthony. :wavey: Top 3 should be Con, Bo and Vonzell. :nod:

I TRIED to vote for Bo....but the line was busy forever. I take that as a good sign. So I put some votes in for Constantine even though I didn't see him preform. :o

[WildInTheWind]

Goodbye, Scott, Anwar, Carrie and Anthony. :wavey: Top 3 should be Con, Bo and Vonzell. :nod:


That would be my top 3 choices, too. It won't happen though...as long as Simon wants Carrie there, she will be there. I can't stand the girl myself.

Stevie mention in this funny AI article:

http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/04/20/010041.php

"While Simon took issue with Carrie’s styling, we all know it’s never dumb to be beautiful. Simon be damned, Carrie, looking like a magical meld of Stevie Nicks and Gwen Stefani, scored big in that area. However, it’s never beautiful to be dumb and Carrie’s incoherent babbling about how incoherent her song, “MacArthur Park,” was made Britney Spears look like a Ph.D."

[Dreammms]

wow so scott and anthony are still here

[wondergirl9847]

I wasn't crazy about Anwar's voice much, but Scott should have gone, he bites!

Anwar was a cutie too. :(

[GypsySorcerer]

Good lord. :mad:

[GardenStateGirlie]

I think it was the right bottom three but the wrong one going home. And how cruel was it to do that to Bo? :distress:

[Amy Y]

So, there's one in ever bunch.

-Last year, it was that JPL.
-The year before, it was that Army guy, family man (can't remember his name).
-Now, it's Scott.

None of them could/can sing worth poop, but they outranked many of the talent. This is highly annoying. Anwar DID have a bad performance this week, but when has Scott ever had a good week?? In my opinion, never.

I love Anwar's voice. I don't know what happened this week, but he is usually on the ball. I'm royally pissed at this infamation.

Scott stinks. He sounds like some drugged-out moron with lousy vocals, and Anwar is what he is -- an intellegent musical teacher/icon who might have had a bad day this week, as we all do.

What kind of backing does Scott have? How did he get it?

One thing's for sure... This elimination process has done American talent a disservice.

Please. Babbling? I challenge this writer (and I use the term loosely) to give a full interpretation of this ridiculous song in 30 seconds or less on national television and see how good they do. What a baffoon!

All my life I never knew what this song meant. I mean who does for crying out loud?!!? :laugh:

You are right on the money! I agree 110%.....

[Kelly]

When it gets down to the final three, Bo, Constantine and Carrie..I am not going to know who to vote for. I like Vonzell but Carrie's pipes are better and Bo and Con have that sex appeal factor so I think she will go fourth.
I know Carrie is sort of drab but they can fix that up...look at Kelly Clarkson..she was shy and quiet on AI, now she is Miss Confident. Her voice is the best on the show though. Bo and Con have that extra something personality wise. I still think Constantine is smoking hot!

If it came down to Bo, Constantine and Carrie....I would vote for the guys. If it came down to Bo and Constantine (which won't happen :mad: ) I think I would go with Bo. While I really like Constatine (and yes...he is hot) Bo, I think, is a better performer, and just seems to have something Constatine doesn't. I like them both a lot though. It's nice to have people on American Idol that do songs like.....Free Bird. :nod:

[SteveMacD]

The only person voted off thus far this season that I thought could have won was Nadia. As mentioned, Scott is WELL past his prime. I think Americans keep voting for this nut job because they're afraid he'll snap and eat Simon. And, I'm not too impressed with Anthony. He reminds me of one of those annoying cruise ship/Disneyworld singers. I'm not a violent man, but EVEN I want kick his @$$! If those two go in the next two weeks, the show will still have some credibility.

Kelly, i agree on it being Bo, Carrie, and Constantine in the final three... But i think the final two will be Bo and Carrie.. Constantine seems a little phoney to me, and that will come across to America... As proven by their performance as a group the other night, Carrie and Bo both play the guitar.. Constantine doesn't play anything.. people will remember that...

Don't count out Vonzell. I think she's just as much a contender as the other three---probably moreso than Bo even.

[Lee]

Well, I've been following the www.usatoday.com poll, & they usually have Carrie leading, followed by Bo & Constantine. So I'd have to agree with Brian on this one but Cliffdweller is right, Vonzell is consistantly strong. And Kelly, JMO, but Constantine is just really creepy to me. :nod:

I'd be happiest if it came down to Bo and Vonzell. Everyone else is just eh at this point.

ABC Touts Special 'American Idol' Report
Monday April 25 7:07 PM ET


ABC will air a news special examining what the network called "explosive" allegations about the hit TV talent contest "American Idol."

The hourlong "Primetime Live" report by anchor John Quinones is scheduled for 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday, May 4.

Describing "American Idol" as a cultural phenomenon, ABC said it will "explore explosive claims about behind-the-scenes activities" at the show.

Details about the planned report were unavailable, an ABC News spokesman in New York said. A call seeking comment from Fox was not immediately returned Monday.

"American Idol," in its fourth season and one of television's top-rated programs, gives singers a shot at a record contract.

Judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul winnow the field down in the early rounds, with viewers then deciding on the finalists and the winner.

Past idols are Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard and Fantasia Barrino.

The show is valuable not only to Fox but to 19 Entertainment, which oversees recording deals for "American Idol" stars as well as merchandising, touring, sponsorship and movies.

While ratings have remained strong, there's been consistent fan grumbling about overloaded phone systems that have made it tough for some viewers to cast votes.

"American Idol" also has been shadowed by contestants who were bounced after they failed to disclose personal information.

Corey Clark, dropped from the show in 2003 after producers learned about a past arrest, reportedly is trying to sell a tell-all book about his experiences with the program.

OOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooooOOOOooooohhhhh! Sounds juicy. I will be watching. :p

I wonder what the "explosive allegations" are.

[SuzeQuze]

Me too. They better not just be stringing us along while having nothing really good. Or else!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Me too. They better not just be stringing us along while having nothing really good. Or else!


It will be stuff we already know:

-Clay is gay
-Ryan Seacrest is gay
-Paula is addicted to pain killers
-Clay is gay
-Paula has had sex with contestants
-Clay is gay
-Clay is gay

[wondergirl9847]

That about sums it up.

Wait, you forgot to put Clay is gay on your list.

[AliP]

Does anyone really think that Cory Clark and Paula got it on?? That's what he is saying in his book, or so I heard. Barf, he was disgusting.

[GypsySorcerer]

Carrie -- Not bad.
Bo -- Great.
Vonzell -- Great.
Anthony -- Better than in past weeks.
Constantine -- Eh.
Scott -- Blah.

[GardenStateGirlie]

"Pack your bags..." :lol:

Okay, just a comment...if you could pick any song between 2000 and 2005, why the hell are you going to pick THAT crap?!?!

Honestly, I don't think anyone did very well tonight. Thank God Amazing Race is on...I need to purge American Idol out of my system.

[Sorceress]

Carrie -- Not bad.
Bo -- Great.
Vonzell -- Great.
Anthony -- Better than in past weeks.
Constantine -- Eh.
Scott -- Blah.


I feel like we've seen that same performance from Carrie 50 times already. I agree that Bo was awesome. Hideous shirt, but great performance. I actually liked Constantine's song choice, but like Randy said, his vocal was awful. His brother was sure freaky looking, wasn't he?

[wondergirl9847]

Music made these days...bites.

Why does America still like Carrie so much? Her vocals are getting worse each week.

I loved Vonzell tonight.....of course. <3 Bo was good, too...except when he decided not to hit the high note...was an odd moment.


Scott sucks......belch.

[Stephanie]

wanted to vote for Bo--tried for 20 minutes and have now given up. Hope he's safe.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I feel like we've seen that same performance from Carrie 50 times already.


Agreed. I like to see her in the bottom three to put a fire under her ass, but I dont see it happening. :distress:

[WildInTheWind]

Why does America still like Carrie so much? Her vocals are getting worse each week.


I've been wondering the same thing. I find her voice very whiney and annoying. I guess people like her because she is a cute, blonde white chick? I know that's why my little brother likes her so much :rolleyes:

[WildInTheWind]

Music made these days...bites.

Ain't that the truth!? I cringed tonight when they announced they were doing songs from 2000-2005. I knew it would be a ****ty show.

[seeker007nmss]

I have to admit, I have never seen the show. :shrug:

[GardenStateGirlie]

Ain't that the truth!? I cringed tonight when they announced they were doing songs from 2000-2005. I knew it would be a ****ty show.

I just don't understand how out of all the songs released between that period of time, they could pick such absolute slop.

[Kelly]

Get up off Carrie, Curtie!! I know she is pretty boring but I think her vocals are the best out of all the contestants. I think with some work...she would sound great when recorded.
I predict Anthony, Scott and Vonzell will be in the bottom three and Scott will go. His song was snoozeville last night. I thought Bo rocked..as usual.

She was the best vocally but Vonzell has eclipsed her IMO. So for me this contest is between Vonzell and Bo, whom I both love.

[Lisa1769]

"Pack your bags..." :lol:


I thought I saw Scottys lip quiver a bit. :lol: :lol:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Agreed. :nod:

Carrie has proven that she wouldn't be a good performer. She just stands there most of the time. She should have been on Nashville Star instead.

Vonzell is one I love to watch. She gets into her songs. You can feel it. Paula was right when she said that V connects with the audience.

[SuzeQuze]

Yep, she sparkles and shines too. I just can't get into Carrie's country style.

I voted for Vonzell and Bo like crazy last night. Somehow I'm afraid that they don't have big enough obsessed teeny-bopper fanbases to stay out of the bottom three. :(

Well, I voted for Bo like crazy, anyway. Hoping he's got a big enough obsessed thirty-something fan base. :p

Constantine sucked. That is all.

[cliffdweller]

Get up off Carrie, Curtie!! I know she is pretty boring but I think her vocals are the best out of all the contestants.

agreed :nod: But Vonzell is a better overall perfomer.

Anthony was really hitting the high notes last night. I thought he did alright even though I CANNOT STAND Celine Dion songs.

Constantine was a joke . When he whipped his hair around holding the mic stand at the end of the song I just about fell off the couch laughing. Did you guys catch Ryan comparing him to Clay Aiken?!?!? Connie was NOT happy with that, he looked royally pissed!

Buh-bye Scott, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[cliffdweller]

It will be stuff we already know:

-Clay is gay
-Ryan Seacrest is gay
-Paula is addicted to pain killers
-Clay is gay
-Paula has had sex with constantants
-Clay is gay
-Clay is gay

:laugh: :laugh: It's all good. I just hate typing out Constantine every time. I'm lazy, sue me. :laugh:

[SteveMacD]

Music made these days...bites.
Well, top 40 pop music these days bites. I thougt "Say You Will" was pretty good. I still love 2001's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" by Wilco. It would have made my day to hear somebody sing "Jesus, etc." U2's "All You Leave Behind" was pretty good. I would have blown away with a cover of "Beautiful Day." But then, I'm sure most of those albums were out of their reference points.

[hayley]

Music today doesn't bite. The music made for popular consumption bites. It's so rare that a *good* mainstream album shows up, which is why I personally get excited when something shows up like Kelly Clarkson's album, which perfectly commercial yet perfectly GOOD- and solid.

Despite the lack of great popular music, there are so many awesome records and artists out there. I get so tired of people complaining about music today. There are absolutely amazing artists in every genre, there's something for everyone, and the Internet and alternative media make it easier than ever to find it.

About AI- I stopped watching AI a month or so ago, and it seems like I haven't missed much at all. I am glad Nadia's gone, though. I know that's an unpopular opinion, but as someone who watched only from the Top 12 on, I found her really unlikable and arrogant. Every week I saw her, she seemed to get worse and more out there. :shrug:

[skcin]

Carrie -- Not bad.
Bo -- Great.
Vonzell -- Great.
Anthony -- Better than in past weeks.
Constantine -- Eh.
Scott -- Blah.


ITA with your synopsis. :nod: :laugh:

I hope either Scott or Con go.
I think either Scott or Anthony will go.

Carrie - out of all the great Martina tunes you could have picked, you picked THAT one? I mean, it's cute but some on. There are much better songs she could have done.

[SuzeQuze]

:laugh: :laugh: It's all good. I just hate typing out Constantine every time. I'm lazy, sue me. :laugh:

Perfectly understandable, maybe just call him Con cuz he's trying to con the audience into voting for him.

[CelticGypsy]

I agree with what hayley said about Nadia. I thought she acted like a DIVA already on the show. I am glad she was voted off already. I just don't like people like that who are performers and act that arrogant. So Nadia did turn me off from voting for her. I like Bo, Anthony and Carrie so far. I think Bo has a lot of talent and it is cool to see a few rockers this year. I like Constantine too. I think Scott will be the one to go or Vonzell tonight. Just hope it isn't Anthony yet. He did a great job on Tuesday's show :blob1:
Wasn't that Tatum O'Neal sitting behind Heather Locklear and her little girl??? Sure did look like her..........or do I need new glasses :laugh:

omg bottom three is CRAZY

i really thought scott would be gone

now it's down to anthony and constatine

omg lol

[GardenStateGirlie]

The world has officially spun off its axis. I can't believe Scott is still in this -_-

[GypsySorcerer]

Arrrrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!

That votefortheworst.com must be working. :distress:

[SteveMacD]

I can't believe Const is out. :distress:

I think American Idol has lost all credibility

[Dreammms]

Omg Constantine Before Scottttttttt Lol

[SteveMacD]

Omg Constantine Before Scottttttttt Lol
Or even Anthony! Sorry, but Anthony is annoying. Scott or Anthony (preferably Scott) should have been out of this thing WEEKS ago.

[Stephanie]

I can't believe Const is out. :distress:

Couldn't agree more! I thought for sure Federov was out. What a shocker. Even for Constantine, you could tell from his expression he was shocked! :shrug:

[GypsySorcerer]

I can't believe Scott wasn't in the bottom three. Gawd, he'll probably win the whole damn thing.

And I want to slap that smirk off of Carrie's face.

[Sorceress]

I suddenly became completely and irrationally angry at Constantine tonight at the beginning of the show when the camera panned the contestants and he was doing what Kelly coined as the eye f*ck of the camera. Suze is so right--it's the narcissism that was so unattractive. So, all I can say right now is WOO HOO!

[heyjupiter678]

I can't express how happy I am that Constantine is finally gone!!!11one :woohoo:

[wondergirl9847]

B and S.

That is all.

The only interesting person on AI4...gone...and so am I.

[Stephanie]

I really thought the final 3 would be Bo, Carrie, and Constantine.

You don't like performers who act arrogant, but you like Constantine? :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: Talk about arrogance - the look of utter shock on Con's face when Ryan said HE was out - like he never thought it was possible. :D

And what's with Carrie? Were her & Con screwing or something? And I'm not even going to start on Paula's theatrics. :rolleyes:

Good riddance, I say. Of course, Scott should have gone first, but I'm not going to cry over it.

[GardenStateGirlie]

I can't express how happy I am that Constantine is finally gone!!!11one :woohoo:

WOOT. :woohoo:

I hated him with a passion but I think Scott and Anthony should have been booted before him.

[heyjupiter678]

And I'm not even going to start on Paula's theatrics. :rolleyes: I couldn't help but laugh -- especially when she started consoling Constantine's mother, like he'd died or something. Give me a break. :rolleyes:

They definitely should have, but I'm still thrilled. :D

[goldie]

I am a Constantine lover and I am very upset over this! It's all because of that stupid website that encourages you to vote for the worst and they've selected Scott. Scott in top 3 this week? NO WAY. Constantine GONE? I don't even feel like watching anymore. I'll only watch for Bo now.

[Livia]

LOSER!!!!






Never liked him, never will. Oh, and two words, Constantine: Crest Whitestrips. Or is that three? I dunno....but see ya!

I'm with you 100%. I was royally pissed off tonight. If Bo goes, I will not watch it anymore. I sometimes wonder if the producers have the winner picked out already, and they just keep people around/have them voted off to shock people and piss them off. :rolleyes: I can see it. Constantine was my favorite after Bo.

[mondaymornin1]

I couldn't help but laugh -- especially when she started consoling Constantine's mother, like he'd died or something. Give me a break. :rolleyes:


OMIGOD! That's sounds like what my son said...he said it was like Paula was tellin her he only had months to live or something...then he rolled his eyes and went downstairs to play his drums. :p

Seriously, though. I know I said that Connie blew last night, and he did. But I definitely didn't expect him to be the one to go. I mean, so far, the worst performer usually ISN'T the one to go on the following night! :shrug:

It's all good---make way for Bo! If Scott outlasts him, there's some folks here in 'Bama that'll be lining up to do some killin, I promise ya! :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

[SteveMacD]

Or eats him....

[Dreammms]

haha
he really does suck the big one
i cant believe so many people out there have such bad taste to vote for his ass
or anthonys

not that constantine was soooooo good but come on much better than scott and anthony

[golden braid]

I dont know anything about the americal idol tour and I would never go to it..EVER but i was just wondering do all the contestants from the season go on tour?
I think the top 12.

I can't believe Constantine is gone. Even though he wasn't a great singer, he was a good performer. And he actually sang a few songs really well. I think he would do well in theather because he's so dramatic and he sings those types of songs well. He wasn't my favorite so I'm not too upset. I still want Bo to win and Scott needs to go. I just can't believe people keep voting for Scott. :confused:

[SteveMacD]

Well, as has been noted, there seems to be at least one crap singer that holds on every season. There was Nikki in AI-1 and Josh in AI-2. I didn't watch AI-3, as the NHL wasn't on strike, and was busy watching Center Ice on the satellite instead. Sorry, but after suffering through that goofy spin-off, American Juniors, I pretty much swore off AI altogether. Anyway, with Scott, I think people feel sorry for him, as he keeps talking about how he's had a hard life and has a kid, without actually seeing him for what he is as a performer.

[diamondsnake]

Bo and Connie really need to tone down their mic stand theatrics. It is just pathetic the way they twirl those microphone stands up in the air. If you need something to do with your hands learn how to play an instrument, don't become a laughing stock waving a 1/2 pound mic stand in the air like a baffoon. It is just plain tacky at this point. They need to be a little more subtle with their "rock star" theatrics. I am so glad Connie is gone now so I only have to deal with one faux rocker.

[Mageboy25]

Josh the stinker from Season 2?, PLEASE SPARE ME. Hes had TWO top 10 country hits. His last hit was in the NUMBER ONE SPOT on the country charts last month. That is BILLBOARD. He wasnt my favorite, but who else besides the Ruben/Clay have had a #1 hit?

The stinker from Seaon 2 was that god awful blonde girl from Salt Lake City, not Kimberely Caldwell, the other blonde. Remember she was JUST HORRIBLE week after week, and was somehow able to hang out. Last year it was John Stevens the red head that SUCKED week after week, but managed to beat out other good people. This seasons stinker is Scott. God I cant stand him, his fake ghetto accent, he didnt get that from his parents.

[Kelly]

Honey, you also forgot hairbrush and a bar of soap :nod:

Girl, I know where you live! A little soap and the boy would clean up just fine~ He certainly was way better than Scott and Anthony and should have outlasted them! Scott got a ton of sympathy votes after Simon's "pack your bag" comment. I am bummed....although now it makes room for a fab Bo /Carrie final. Personally, I thought Simon wanted Constantine in the finals, so it would happen either way. It is not like that voting cannot be manipulated. Ah, well, I am sure Simon will sign him anyway and now he won't be locked into that awful AI deal that the winners are.
: > ( ...still sad though.

Ouch. Bo does play! It's just not part of AI so he has had trouble figuring out to do with his hands, admittedly. Geesh.

[Sorceress]

Ouch. Bo does play! It's just not part of AI so he has had trouble figuring out to do with his hands, admittedly. Geesh.

I'd love to see just him, singing and accompanying himself on his guitar...maybe a little NGBA would be nice. :) I wonder if they'd let him play for himself if he asked. The week he did Time in a Bottle would have been the perfect opportunity.

There was Nikki in AI-1 and Josh in AI-2. I didn't watch AI-3, as the NHL wasn't on strike...

Last year it was John Stevens the red head that SUCKED week after week, but managed to beat out other good people.

I agree that Scott and Anthony are the worst this year, but they're both better singers than John Stevens especially, as well as Nikki and Josh. I remember feeling bad for Nikki and John because they had to keep going back up there and sucking week after week when they knew they really didn't belong.

[mondaymornin1]

Ouch. Bo does play! It's just not part of AI so he has had trouble figuring out to do with his hands, admittedly. Geesh.

Thank you. He plays guitar and a coupla other things that I can't remember...wish I'd saved the article that ran in our newspaper... He also writes his own stuff. :thumbsup:

He twirls the mic and stomps around 'cause he's a ROCKER, and that's what ROCKERS do! :shrug:

The blonde was Carmen Rumassen or something. I agree -- she was an awful performer and hung on for weeks. Stevens was horrible as is Scott. There is simply nothing appealing about Scott. His personality sucks as much as his voice.

You do realize that a #1 on the country charts is meaningless compared to the Hot 100 or Top 40?

If we're just talking radio numbers, let's use an example. The current #1 on the most recent country charts is the Brooks & Dunn song. It got the most spins out of any other country song- approximately 4,500, to be exact. Whereas the #1 single on the Hot 100, Candy Shop, had THREE TIMES that amount of spins across the country. Have other AI contestants besides Ruben & Clay been as successful or more successful than Josh Gracin? Uh, YES. He's found a niche, and that's cool for him, and he's done better than I imagine most thought he would, but his success still isn't near a lot of the other former contestants. Although none of them has had the kind of success that would measure up to the scope of the sheer number of people watching American Idol, of course, including the winners, although Kelly Clarkson's success is fascinating.

My mom was so pissed about Constantine. She left me a five minute voice mail (I work on AI nights, and she calls me to let me know what happened on my cell phone voice mail). I never cared for him, but she loved him.

[Lisa1769]

You know, I don't think that I agree with this. I think Anthony can outsing Connie, granted I don't like the way Anthony sings so I would never vote for him, but he's got pipes that would outlast old eyef*cker any day.

[cliffdweller]

I am bummed....although now it makes room for a fab Bo /Carrie final.

Why is everyone counting out Vonzell!?!? She's the one to watch. She might just might come up and bite everyone in the ass!

I don't think Pot is any big deal, it's like smoking a cigarette or drinking a beer, as long as its done in moderation :laugh: . Cocaine, on the other hand, that's not good. :distress: And to think I thought he was a stand-up guy.

I actually don't want Bo to win because I think it will ruin him. I mean, really, he'll probably get crap songs to sing and I'm sure that he probably likes to write his own songs, which I'm sure won't happen if he's under contract with AI.

Someone really cheesy like Anthony should win so he can continue to sing the gawd awful songs he continues to choose to sing week after week. Or even someone like Vonzell or Carrie because I think they would fit that "pop" mold very well.

Wow that was quick! I like Constantine and all, but from what I've seen of his band in the beginning, I don't think I'd like his band music all that much.

:lol: :lol:

Yes. I get a little pissy when President speeches ruin my primetime line-up. :D

Oh Hell, I know. When Survivor was not on, I was bummed. I felt like throwing a large rock through the tv when W was yammering on and on about No Child Left Behind. He answered the question in the first thirty seconds and continued on, using the word "measure" about four hundred times. Gads. At least they cut off his last answer to run Survivor at nine. This week has been bad for reality tv..Connie out of AI and Stephanie out of Survivor. That girl rocked. Oops, back to the AI discussion.
I could care less if Bo had an incident with coke a few years ago. We ALL have skeletons..some worse than others. I consider wacking your girlfriend upside her head with a phone to be much worse. Who the Hell is voting for Scott?

[WildInTheWind]

Who the Hell is voting for Scott?

All the people who went to that vote for the worst website :rolleyes:

[Lee]

Now Bo's drug arrests have come out, Scott still hanging in there & Paula Abdul's the center of controversy.... What's the World Coming To? Hey, isn't that a song? :laugh:

It seems Fox doesn't like it's own tactics turned on it. At least this ABC show appears to be based on solid facts. For some reason, I do care and am interested to find out the dirt.

Yeah. I dunno if I care, either. It seems to be all based on that kid who is grasping at straws to be famous. I think it's ****ty. And if they did have a relationship, they are both over the age. I don't know if that is against the "rules" or not, but it was his ass that screwed himself over, not Paula's fault. He wouldn't have won with or without her help.

Interesting. This site went down just before AI came on tonight. Hmmmmmmm.....

By the way, they ALL sucked tonight. I didn't like a single performance out of the 10, even though the various contestants sang several songs that I know and like. :distress:

[Lisa1769]

Has anyone else voted before the show was over and got thru?

Last week, I voted just a few minutes before and it worked. Tonight, 5 or 6 minutes before it ended and got thru.

It's still down too.

I wasn't blown away by anyone, but I thought Bo did a good job.

[SteveMacD]

I thought Carrie and Bo had solid performances. Notice how they never have to say anything after being critiqued. I think I know who the final two will be. Frankly, I wish they could tie and work as a duet. I think their voices would probably work well together.

Vonzel was okay, but I really wasn't blown away. Her voice is solid, but I think her personality is what sells her songs. And, in pop music, personality trumps talent.

Scott was lame. Good lord, his ego is bigger than his gut. He's in a serious state of denial if he thinks he's going to win. I had a great laugh when they showed the recap of him singing "On Broadway." I hope he gets another week, just for the comic relief.

Anthony was just plain awful. It was painful listening to this kid. Anthony will have a very successful career singing on a Carnival boat. :nod:

Who should be voted off? Anthony.
Who will likely be voted off? Vonzel.

[WildInTheWind]

Has anyone else voted before the show was over and got thru?

Last week, I voted just a few minutes before and it worked. Tonight, 5 or 6 minutes before it ended and got thru.

I tried several times to vote for Bo. I only got through 2 times though.

I thought Bo was good tonight (as always :thumbsup: ) and I liked Carrie's first performance. Vonzell is always pretty good. I kind of know what to expect from her at this point, and that takes some of the fun out of it. That's what I liked about Bo, Constantine and Nadia. I never knew what they were going to sing or how. Carrie is predictable, but I actually liked her first song, and I never like her.
Scott makes me want to throw up and Anthony puts me to sleep. I cna't see how they can last any longer.

[Sorceress]

Who should be voted off? Anthony.
Who will likely be voted off? Vonzel.

Agreed. I tried to vote for Vonzell for a while last night--even though her performances didn't blow me away, I don't want her to go yet. I had more trouble getting through for her than I did for Bo--wonder if that means anything? I think I managed to get through for her three or four times before I started to experience redial fatigue and gave up. :)

Ooh, I can't wait for the ABC expose tonight!

:nod:
Ditto!

I never got through to vote for Bo, even toward the end, so I text'd my votes for him....ummm LOTS of times. My mom :laugh: was able to vote for Bo 5 times. We were so proud! :laugh:

Can I just tell ya how cool it is to live so close to Bo's hometown? (Well, it's cool if you're a Bo fan, anyway :thumbsup: ). Our local Fox affiliate ran an interview with him last night after the show. No mention of the SCANDAL from last week, which was a nice change. Yeah, that was pretty much a drawback from living so close to his hometown last week---it was the LEAD story for SEVERAL days...it even got mentioned BEFORE the whole "Runaway Bride" fiasco! :laugh: :laugh: Enough!

[skcin]

Has anyone else voted before the show was over and got thru?

Last week, I voted just a few minutes before and it worked. Tonight, 5 or 6 minutes before it ended and got thru.

I did that one week & it does work.

This week, Carrie & Bo rocked, Vonzell was great too. I didn't think Scott was bad at all, but his ****ty attitude makes me want him out. Anthony? Horrendous - out of tune more then in, IMO.

BTW - I usually try to get through for everyone to see how it's going :p . last night at 10:40pm, I got through right away for Scott, and after two tries for Anthony. It took me several times for Carrie, and Vonzell & Bo were damn near impossible! I did get 6 votes in for each eventually (Carrie, Bo & Vonzell, that is.) So I think there is hope that Scott may hit the road.

[cliffdweller]

That's what I liked about Bo, Constantine and Nadia. I never knew what they were going to sing or how.

Me too. The contest is pretty boring without Constantine's antics. At least he was always good for a laugh, especially when he would lamely throw/kick the mic stand down. :rolleyes:

I thought Bo did a nice job with Stand By Me and Carrie's first performance was really good. I thought everyone's second performance was worse than their first...well, maybe except for Anthony. His first song was ATROCIOUS!!

I thought Scott sounded alright on his first song. You just have to close your eyes and picture someone else singing it and it works. :laugh:

I'm hoping for a Bo/Carrie final!

[GypsySorcerer]

Anthony was actually worse than Scott this week. Either one of them can go........they're both past their time.

I want a Bo/Vonzell final. :nod:

I do that too! LOL! That is probably why Scott hasn't been voted off. People like us who want to see if anyone is actually voting for them end up voting.

woo hoo!

I am sure next week Anthony will be gone..

[SteveMacD]

Wow, America FINALLY got it right this week. I just knew that the couch was a bad thing this week. There's no way Bo and Vonz were in the bottom group. I'm SO glad I was wrong about who would likely be voted off. Scott needed to go a few weeks ago. Now, if Anthony could get voted off next week, the final three would actually be respectable.

[Stephanie]

I know. As soon as they started splitting off, I felt the couch was the kiss of death. Next up, Anthony has been around way too long.

[skcin]

Scott thought he was safe, he was thanking God as per usual. Anthony was trying to catch his attention to tell him that Ryan didn't say they were safe. :laugh:

If things go right, Anthony will be out next. After that, I don't care. I'd like to see Bo win, but I won't be upset if Carrie or Vonzell get it.

[GardenStateGirlie]

I don't know if anyone is watching Primetime right now but Paula is screwed big time. No wonder they were trying to get this program pulled...the kid has voicemails from her. Her pursuit of this contestant could very well mean a huge change for American Idol if not the end. I still think she was fooling around with Constantine as well :nod: Paula Abdul...forever everyones girl. Yikes. :shocked:

[SuzeQuze]

and she's totally screwed. :nod: Corey's family has phone records to prove that many many calls were made from their house to Paula's phones. He also had a couple of voicemails saved that basically said don't say anything to any reporters. The calls were very frequent and some were long, one was 111 minutes. I think that Corey is telling the truth but I don't think it was necessary to drag her through the dirt in this way. Although it seems she dropped him like a hot potato when the show did. I think he was deeply hurt by that, I don't know. He definitely has an agenda to sell his new album, for sure. But I think he's telling the truth.

So we need a new thread, who will be the next American Idol judge? I believe this will be Paula's last season.

I believe it's her last season as well. If the shows producers were intelligent (as I believe they are), they'd recruit someone else in order to save the show. I do agree Corey has an agenda with picking now to reveal the affair. He's no dummy.

Well, they can go from one washed up pop star who can't sing to another--Britney Spears. I wouldn't be surprised.

[Nixxxed]

Sadly, the most shocking thing about the PrimeTime Live report was the photo they showed of Randy onstage with Journey, wearing skin-tight spandex pants. :shocked: :laugh:

Can the term "Thunder Thighs" only be used in reference to women? :shrug: :D

[SteveMacD]

I don't know why, but I'm not convinced. Cory was a con man from the gitgo. Look at everything people have done with identity theft. Look at how the Daily Show can get somebody who is a dead ringer for Laura Bush to make a lewd joke about the President jerking off two horses. So much of his evidence could have easily been manufactured. Consider this. What if Paula lost her cell phone and Cory found it? He could easily get her number. To find the names of the dogs, all he would need to do is overhear a conversation with Paula. I know I've had to be on the phone with somebody regarding my dogs before, and I know I was overheard. The thing I find suspicious is that the medicine bottle that was shown said "Paula Abdul." I don't know why, but I find it very difficult to believe that a celebrity of her stature would be using her real name in obtaining medicine. That was just a little too fishy.

As for the other contestants, let's be honest. None of them had a chance in hell of beating Ruben or Clay. Any one of those folks would have only lasted a week or two in the top twelve. While I feel bad for them, they need to get real.

[GardenStateGirlie]

I don't know why, but I find it very difficult to believe that a celebrity of her stature would be using her real name in obtaining medicine.

Stature being coked-up-washed-up-pill-popping-idol-judge? :shrug:

I don't think she ever thought he'd say anything at all. You can't deny the phone bills either. I think she screwed up royally and is going to end up having to pay for it by loosing her job. While I think the way he came out about the affair was rather ****ty, I don't doubt it happened.

[diamondsnake]

I don't know if he is being completely honest but even if he is I seriously doubt that they will fire Paula... it would be the begining of the end for American Idol if they got rid of her. It is like getting rid of Suzzane Somers on Three's Company. Well maybe not that bad, but you get the idea.

If they need a replacement... hmm how about Stevie? LOL! Or Mick Fleetwood!

[gldstwmn]

[Livia]

Cher's just played her final, final, and-I-really-mean-it-this-time, show of her 3-year farewell tour. She's available! :lol:

Yeah, my "first initial feeling" is that Cory's being honest. I thought his parents were quite convincing too. And look at it this way - assuming it IS true - Paula only did what male judges have been doing to beauty pageant contestants since the dawn of time...so she got a little somethin' somethin' from a 22-year old hottie, good for her, I say!

[WelshWitchPMD]

Does anyone have a photo of this kid that supposedly hooked up with Paula? I have only heard him on the radio and can not see what she would have seen in him. :confused:

[Kelly]

I think this Corey has quite a bit of hard proof that this happened. We have phone records, eyewitnesses, voicemail recordings, prescription bottles, receipts...etc etc. I assume that there is some part of Paula's contract that bars her from sleeping and fraternizing with the contestants. I would say AI will have no choice but to fire her. Personally, I do not think she should be fired...it is not like she helped him get further in the competition...he was thrown off! The audience voted him through the first few rounds....What did she really do to help him? Not much.


BTW..a few years ago, there was a prescription bottle of Stevie's on ebay...it had her name on it...Stephanie Nicks. If I remember correctly, it was for an asthma medication. The add said that a maid found it in a hotel room used by Stevie, in NY, I think? So, apparently, celebs do use their real name on prescriptions.

Ick--I was so glad when Corey got the boot on season 2. He seemed gross and slimey to me. And this is so true:

...tweaked his b*lls on ISA from the White Album.....this guy sounds like that ALL the time.

I fell asleep during Primetime last night, so I can't comment on all his evidence. I agree that his timing is very suspect, and I also think that Paula could have chosen a much more attractive boytoy. Just think, she had hundreds of thousands of contestants to choose from and she picked him? She really does have issues! *shudder*

Poor Scott is dumb as dirt. I'm glad he's gone, but I have to feel a little bad for him for so obviously falling for the couch thing.

Part of me feels this way too. I thought the interviewer was pushing things that he wouldn't have had Paula been a man but that's another thread entirely. I think he's being honest, I think Paula has some serious emotional issues and she sort of preyed on this young man, but I really don't think he should have gone public with it like this. Maybe I am wrong but what's private should remain private IMO. On the other hand, maybe this is the push Paula needs to get her act together. I still think she's out but we'll see.

[Merf]

I just cannot BELIEVE the amount of hype that surrounded that interview. I mean my God, I haven't heard that much hype since Monica Lewinsky was interviewed by Barbara Walters back in the day. Good gracious!

My dad and I watched the interview, and while Corey is obviously using this as a golden opportunity to sell a handful of CDs, I do believe he is telling the truth. The evidence speaks volumes. I highly doubt Paula will be back next season. If she really did tell Corey to choose that Journey song because she knew that it would make an impression on Randy; then she directly affected the outcome because that was the last song he sang before heading to the final 16, right?

PS, BO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!

[hayley]

I watched about half of the program this morning, and saw him and his parents very briefly on GMA... I have no doubts whatsoever that Paula did what they're saying she did, but- I just don't care. At all.

I find him so distasteful, cheap, and opportunistic. His parents, specifically his father, pissed me off as well on GMA. Their attitude, and Corey's, seemed to just be so focused on taking advantage of the situation. Sure, what Paula did was wrong, but it's not like Clark was damaged or hurt or had his career impacted negatively by it. What does he have to complain and freak out about? All I could think while I was watching him talk was wondering how much ABC paid them.

I totally don't care about what Paula did. The show is such bull**** anyways. A good friend of mine is close with a contestant that made it into the top 12 in the first season (someone I went to college with), and the stories about what happened with that show even in the first season are insane.

I'm positive Paula will be back next season. I don't think the powers that be are even going to look into this silliness. They are smart enough to know that if Paula leaves they can kiss their ratings success goodbye. It just wouldn't be the same with different judges at this point and I think people would tune out. If the Fox Network is smart they won't pay any attention to this and just thank their lucky stars for the free publicity ABC is giving them.

[diamondsnake]

Did anyone else LOL at the lyrics to his song which included the phrase "the tragic way she broke his heart"? I was rolling on the floor!!! We are talking about a fling that lasted a couple weeks and suddenly it is a tragedy that breaks his heart? Most 22 year olds I know would be like "hey I got laid by Paula Abdul, I rock"!

I don't know about that. Paula is the least interesting judge, imo. I think if Simon went the ratings might go down. I actually wish they would replace Paula, she's boring and she never has anything very constructive to say.

I too am confident that Paula will be back. People can say all that want that it is Simon who makes the show, but in reality, it the dynamics of all 3 judges that make the show. Corey Clark is saying he won't help Fox in their investigation to help prove his allegations. Hmmm, we wonder why :laugh: Nigel is behind Paula so, there really isn't anything left to do. One would think that if Corey wanted to be taking seriously and look more credible, he would provide them with information.

Also, about the phone message that Paula allegedly left for Corey. Doesn't anyone else find it odd that, that is the only message they used to "prove" their case? That message didn't prove a thing. If you listen to it again, Paula's tone is that of someone who is offering advice. "Hi it's Paula. Listen, if the press is trying to talk to you, you just say nothing, that is all you do." It makes much more sense that Paula left that message for Corey two years ago after he got kicked off the show. She was consoling him in a way. That call was not recent, as ABC is trying make it seem. The call was also taken out of context. It's the only clip they are playing. If in fact it was proof of any wrong doings, then why not play that clip from start to finish? Also, remember what happened to Paris Hilton recently? Her cell phone info was hacked into. It wouldn't even surprise me if Paula left that message for someone else and it got leaked somehow. It's not that far fetched. But if it was a call to Corey, it most certainly had nothing to do with him speaking out now; it is an old message that proves nothing. Corey Clark is nothing short of pathetic.

Look at how the Daily Show can get somebody who is a dead ringer for Laura Bush to make a lewd joke about the President jerking off two horses. .

Thanks for mentioning my favorite thing that happened all week. Except you got it wrong, she was jerking off one horse while she sucked off another one. Good times! :thumbsup::laugh::laugh:

Paula only did what male judges have been doing to beauty pageant contestants since the dawn of time...so she got a little somethin' somethin' from a 22-year old hottie, good for her, I say!

Yeah, except it was that guy. She could do better. :laugh:

Sadly, the most shocking thing about the PrimeTime Live report was the photo they showed of Randy onstage with Journey, wearing skin-tight spandex pants

oh lord. :rolleyes: Noone needs to see that ****. :laugh:

No one will be here to talk Idol tonight. :(

I agree with this.

I think Bo was the best again tonight, followed by a tie between Carrie and Vonz. Anthony still leaves me high and dry. Simon cracked me up with the Woody Allen playing Shaft line. Now, I want to know what was up with Vonz?

I'm intrigued by what was up with her, too. Her first number was good, but her second on blew me away. She really stepped it up. Hopefully Anthony's luck has run out.....BUT I thought he was a lot better than Bo tonight. Both of Bo's songs were bland and boring. Even though I thought Bo was worst, Ant should go because he has been a bore since the top 12. As for Carrie, she was alright. Her second song blew major chunks.

[Patti]

I really liked Bo's second song. I thought Vonzell did ok the first time and GREAT the second song. I'm over Carrie. I want Bo and Vonzell in the finals!!!

I agree.

I thought overall last night's show was the worst one this season. The song choices stunk! At this point in the competition, why not let them sing whatever the hell they want so they can really shine in their strong areas???

Still text'd for Bo, but I did slide one in for Vonzell too!

[cliffdweller]

I didn't think Carrie's second song was as bad as the judges thought. Makes me wonder if they panned her song to keep the competition competitive and step up the suspense since it's so obvious that she's going to win this thing. I wouldn't doubt it. Carrie did no worse than Anthony and all three judges were praising him all night.

I thought Bo's second song was great. He needs to keep it at that level the next two weeks.

I wonder if Vonzell had a death in the family or something? :shrug: She was very, very emotional last night.

[WildInTheWind]

I didn't like Carrie's first or second song. :shrug: I thought she sucked last night. I don't even bother watching Anthony.....he bores the hell out of me. Sometime bad must have happened one of Vonzell's famliy members or something. I felt SO bad for her. Her second song was great though. And so was Bo's.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I like him, but glad he is gone.



At first I thought Carrie and Bo had a thing......now I think it is Carrie and Anthony. :nod:


Vonz has to really knock it out of the park next week to survive.
