Anybody else ready for another season, or do you watch? Of course, I am a big fan. I just hope this year is better than last year. :nod: They say this coming season is the best yet. We will see....

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I can't wait to be honest...I love the show...do the phone voting...the whole thing lol

I have never voted. Just watched. I think if I really have a favorite this year, I just might.

Trenyce (Season 2) will always be my all time favorite. :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

I've only voted once. I never can get through. :(

I'm looking forward to it - but I hope it's better than last year. :blob1:

[SuzeQuze]

Voted once too, for Reuben. I saw a preview of some of the awful auditions on an entertainment show. Oh man, that is the best part of the season! :blob1:

[Hawkeye]

My favorite part of the show is actually the first part, not because of the horrible singers, but it's where it stars the judges, my favorite part of the show. And I usually just watch the singing ever week in the slim hopes they'll do a Fleetwood Mac song. And sometimes I get a favorite, believe it or not, by favorite last year was the winner, Fantasia. And the year before it was Ruben and Kimberly Locke and also Kimberly Caldwell.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Voted once too, for Reuben.


May I ask why? I'd rather watch bread mold than him. :cool:

[dissention]

He's quite...dull. Stage presence is something he's never heard of.

He's never heard of a hit record either and probably never will.

[SuzeQuze]

I think I just loved him. In hindsight I may have voted differently.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Yeah. He was a fad for awhile. I knew he would never produce good songs though.......just like Fantasia. Their musical style is not what is 'in' now.

[Hawkeye]

I don't think I've heard anything by her. It sucks too because she was the best ever to be on the show.

[Hawkeye]

He's never heard of a hit record either and probably never will.

Ruben's had some success. His first album was #1 and Sorry (2004) was quite big.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Yeah. He was a fad for awhile. I knew he would never produce good songs though.......just like Fantasia. Their musical style is not what is 'in' now.


I guess that Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken seem to have found some success. Only time will tell however.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I don't think I've heard anything by her. It sucks too because she was the best ever to be on the show.


Tamyra Gray was, but like the others, her songs are crap. Whatta waste of a beautiful voice. :distress:

[Hawkeye]

Yeah I prefer these people as they are on the show, doing versions of others songs, then I love these people, once they're out in the real music world, for the most part I don't give a **** about them.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Ruben's had some success. His first album was #1 and Sorry (2004) was quite big.


Curiosity lead it to #1. However, it did not stay long, if at all. Success is having an album that has longevity. His, I'm afraid, did not. It's ashame, too because he seemed like a nice guy.

I've never heard Sorry 2004. :shrug:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Yeah I prefer these people as they are on the show, doing versions of others songs, then I love these people, once they're out in the real music world, for the most part I don't give a **** about them.


Hey. I agree with ya for a change! Except for Kelly.....I love her. <3

Yeah, dude, Kelly rules. :thumbsup:

I saw Ryan Seacrest on Ellen today and he said they're going to try to make this season a little different. During the semifinals they will have the guys sing one night and the girls another night. My favorite part though is still hearing all the terrible auditions.

[Sorceress]

I actually bought Fantasia's album. I'm glad to have supported her but am disappointed that it sounds pretty much like the rest of the R&B that's on the radio these days. I loved the gospel-y/bluesy/funk she put into all of her performances on the show. Though she was often over-the-top, she was always original. Most of that is missing on the album. I suppose it is worth it to have Summertime in my CD collection, however. She does that song brilliantly.

I liked Rueben back in the day mainly because he wasn't Clay, but he really has turned out to be incredibly dull (and sweaty). That silly I'm Sorry (2004) was terrible. I admit that I didn't take the time to figure out what the lyrics were other than "I'm sorry for 2004." What the hell does that mean?

At any rate, I am definitely looking forward to another season. I hope Paula has sobered up a bit, though by the looks of her Golden Globes dress, she hasn't! :rolleyes:

I love Amer. Idol! Yeah, the first few episodes are the best - but from the commercials, it looks like people are trying to be bad on purpose - just to get on TV - in hopes of becoming the next William Hung! :p Did ya see those 2 guys doing "I'm So Excited?"

Simon was on Jay Leno last night. He said they don't show the people who go in to auditions and "try" to be bad. They pick the ones that think they are good and have no clue they suck. I don't know, though.

Seacrest said the same thing on Ellen. I think they weed out the obvious ones, people who are acting terrible just to get on TV, but some of them CAN'T be serious!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Ok. I'm in love with Regina. Pawning your wedding rings to pay for being there? WoW. She seems so sweet. I'm glad she made it through. It breaks my heart to think she couldn't afford a night in a hotel room. It brought tears to my eyes.

It said she was from Belpre, OH....which is like 40 minutes from my parents. I pass through there a lot when we go to the mall. VERY SMALL TOWN.

Aw. She seemed really sweet. And she has a good voice.

Not that last guy....Gads. :shocked:

[wondergirl9847]

Not that last guy....Gads. :shocked:

I ran a 10K, washed my clothes (and hair), wrote a long email to a sad friend, fed my dog (and gave her a bath), got married, had 5 kids, found the cure for cancer and he was STILL singing when I got back.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Did you see Toni Braxton's "cousin"? Whatta ass! His attitude (and voice) was piss poor. :distress:

[GypsySorcerer]

OMG....Mary.... :shocked: :eek:

[Sorceress]

OMG....Mary.... :shocked: :eek:

There was definitely something diagnosable going on there...requiring meds... :eek: She reminded me a little of crazy Jan from the Brady Bunch movie. I feel really bad for the people who are obviously ill or mentally retarded or something. I know they are adults who chose to audition and gave permission to be included in the show, but my God, I feel guilty being entertained by some of the contestants.
I liked Anwar, but I think he needed to lose the hat. Regina was pretty good, though there was something scary looking about her husband. :shrug: I'm looking forward to tomorrow night.

[amber]

aww, I thought the YMCA girl was cute! couldn't sing, though... :distress:

[amber]

Omigosh, dredlock guy singing Stevie Wonder was soooo cute! :p I was impressed to, that he didn't try to put "runs" all in the song... :woohoo:
Simon says Terrific!
oh, that's Anwar....ok...

[amber]

Omigod, Melissa was all "they had the lights off in the fitting room" and Simon was all..."I believe that!"
WTF?
ooo, too bad she sucked...

[WildInTheWind]

I can't wait to watch it tonight. It's in my city and I am wondering if I will maybe see someone I know from high school or something. That would be too funny, especially if they were really bad! This show is so addicting. I hope it's better than last year though.

~*~becky~*~

[Livia]

OMG....Mary.... :shocked: :eek:

I nicknamed her Norma Bates, for the voices in her head. Maybe Sybil's better, though :D Yeah, she definitely has issues....

I loved the dreadlock guy!! He's my favorite so far. And I'm glad they raised the age limit. That Braxton dude was seriously delusional. And that cute girl who McGrath obviously had the hots for, she was good. I also liked the heart-pumping dancing guy, I think he sang a Stevie Wonder song too.

[skcin]

Did you see Toni Braxton's "cousin"? Whatta ass! His attitude (and voice) was piss poor. :distress:


Was he the one who was like "that's OK, I'm sexy anyway" and talking a mile a minute? Hello, untreated bipolar disorder man! :wavey:

And Mary? Oh.My.God. "the voices in my head tell me that you're hot." :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Was he the one who was like "that's OK, I'm sexy anyway" and talking a mile a minute? Hello, untreated bipolar disorder man! :wavey:



That's him. :thumbsup: They really showed some freaks this time around. They scared the crap outta me. I do have to say the talent is getting better.....raising the age limit helps, I think.

I didn't know it was a two hour episode. It ran into my Amazing Race time....


It's on again tonight. :D

[Little Nicki]

Omigod, Melissa was all "they had the lights off in the fitting room" and Simon was all..."I believe that!"
WTF?
ooo, too bad she sucked...

God...she even said "It may look like I have a lot of money!" Uhhh no...it looked like you walked into a little teeny bopper store at the mall (claires, icing, after thoughts, whatever) and spent all of your allowance on cheap jewelry that will turn your skin green in a matter of days. :distress:

Man...could you imagine if Mary had a knife in her hands while walking away from the auditions? I mean, would you want her near ANY sharp objects? Seriously. I was frightened.

[Little Nicki]

OH HEY! No one said anything about the guy in the rock band! Konstantine or whatever his name was. He's sexy. :)

[skcin]

At first, I thought he was really bad. Then he hit every note in the chorus - not an easy thing to do, IMO. He impressed me, but I doubt he'll get very far.

[AliceLover]

Why was that sugar ray loser there. I only like the 3 judges for that part, he just seemed in the way.

Anyway,it seems that the show is starting to get boring for me.

This season has started strong.......

..........33.5 million watched last night.

[EnchantedSLN]

I don't think I've heard anything by her. It sucks too because she was the best ever to be on the show.

She has a killer voice, but I've heard a few tracks off her album, and they're pretty dismal. My favorite is the ultra classy 'Baby Mama' :lol:

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

It's about time we had our own song
Don't know what took so long
Cuz now-a-days it like a badge of honer
To be a baby mama
I see ya payin' ya bills
I see ya workin' ya job
I see ya goin' to school
And girl I know it's hard
And even though ya fed up
With makin' beds up
Girl, keep ya head up
All my

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

I see you get that support check in the mail
Ya open it and your like "What the Hell"
You say "This ain't even half of daycare"
Sayin to yourself "This here ain't fair"
And all my girls who don't get no help
Who gotta do everything by yourself
Remeber: What don't kill you can you stronger
My baby mama...

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

Cuz we the backbone (of the hood)
I always knew that (that we could)
We can go anywhere, we can do anything
I know we can make it if we dream
And I think it should be a holiday
For single mothers tryin' to make a way
But until then
Here is your song
Show love to my....

[chorus]
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
This goes out to all my baby mamas
B-A-B-Y M-A-M-A
This goes out to all my baby mamas
I got love for all my baby mamas

[skcin]

Last night - ho-hum. That farmer girl in the pink shirt was really good. But I wouldn't have said yes to that little chick dressed like a guy who sang well, but in that really odd high voice.

I thought the kid who's vocal coach got in could have made it.

I feel bad for those last 2 guys - I think they were retarded. They shouldn't make fun of retarded people. Unless they aren't really retarded, then they're fair game. :p

[Dreammms]

OH HEY! No one said anything about the guy in the rock band! Konstantine or whatever his name was. He's sexy. :)

Yeah that guy is the brother of some girl in my town. She is very excited. I agree he is hot.

[Sorceress]

I got love for all my baby mamas



Tiff, I'm going to kill you! That song is the silliest, most inane thing I've heard in a long time, but the chorus is so catchy. Now that you've reminded me of its existence, it's going to be in my head all day long! :laugh:

ps: For those who haven't heard it--and that would be just about everyone--the B-A-B-Y part reminds me of a rip-off of the Jackson 5's ABC.

[DrummerDeanna]

Well I finally broke down and started watching American Idol last night....it was pretty damn entertaining :nod:

It sad but fun to see people making absolute arses of themselves...but sad when they think they can actually sing....anway - I've been sucked in now :D

I never thought I would watch but after someone did a Stevie song that was it, I was hooked, hehe. I actually missed that episode though!

I missed Konstantine, dammit. I also thought that beautiful blonde farm girl sounded awesome, she may make it to the top 10.

Yeah - I liked the little farm girl - and she's got a nice pop/coutnry look to her - I bet she goes pretty far :nod:

I hated that Joe Shane guy and was so happy he didn't make it...

My best friend from high school - her dad got married to a woman w/kids - and moved to St. Louis - I'm pretty sure one of his step-kids was on last night - the girl singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" She was God awful...

[SuzeQuze]

I think she was referring to when Nicki did Edge of 17" in season 1 :shrug:

Yes, sorry, details are not my strong suit! I was out that nite and I saw the episode but didn't hear it since the jukebox was on where I was.

Oh yeah, and Simon and Paula both forgot their bras last nite!

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Did you guys like Niki from season 1? I really didn't care for her voice. But I'm thankful she chose a Stevie song at least.

The auditions this year have been soooo funny! especially that strange girl at the end of the first eppy on Tuesday....what was up with that...she was having conversations with herself. I believe she sang a carol king song..."I Feel the Earth Move".

FUNNY! :laugh:

[Nixxxed]

Anyone watch this tonight?

They let a "fake" contestant through... This guy named Chris (something) came on and did a rap about the judges (that I actually thought was kinda funny). :laugh:

He participated in Trading Spaces a few years ago, and I've seen him since on some pizza commercials. If it's the same guy, I think he also had a Comedy Central standup show.

Next week -- finally we get to the real competition! :blob2:

[wondergirl9847]

Chris Wilde (Wylde...something) is an actor and has been on lots of TV shows and stuff. :rolleyes:

Nikki was at the Dallas 2003 FM show, I talked to her for a few seconds, and she and her family sat in the row right in front of Seteca, his friend, my mom and I. She sang Edge on the show and she did Rhiannon on the AI tour.

YES! Chris Wylde. Thank God - I thought I was going crazy for the first half of his routine. Ya know - that fast flashy mental slideshow where you try to place a face...

I wasn't a Nikki fan (other than the Stevie connection), but she seemed nice enough. If her website is still up, she actually recorded Rhiannon and Edge and had them for download. But that was what -- 4 years ago?

[wondergirl9847]

I have a version of Rhiannon she did on a CD somewhere. I was never a fan of her voice either, but she was really sweet when I chatted with her. I didn't get my pic with her, but I should have. Ah well.

As if Chris being on AI tonight wasn't wierd enough...he was in an episode of Film Fakers with one of my obsessions....Justin Guarini.

[skcin]

Anyone catch it last night? Thank God the general try-outs are over, I don't think I can take hearing another Whitney song, by someone good or bad. Ugh.

I liked the 2 crooners, but I liked the short brown-haired guy better than the one with the hat. I hated the guy who sang Queen, but apparently he sounded "just like Freddie Mercury." I must have not been listening well :shrug:

And the guy who sounded like a chick? Oh.My.God. Hilarious! :laugh: The only one more amusing may have been the guy who claims he had a job singing on cruise ships for 6 months. I was dying when Randy was vibrating along with this guy's ridiculous fake vibrato - "chainchainchaaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-iii-iii-iii-nnn...chain of foo-oooo-oooo-ooo-ooo-ooooo-llllssss..." :eek: Horrendous!

[Nixxxed]

I hated the guy who sang Queen, but apparently he sounded "just like Freddie Mercury." I must have not been listening well :shrug:

Me too! I kept waiting for one of the judges to drag out the "Pitchy" comment, but perhaps they've retired it this season. If that guy makes it any farther, I have a feeling they'll need to dust it off and re-instate it.

And I'm with you -- I HATE the audition shows. Having the skin crawl up my back for two hours a week is not my idea of entertainment.

No, they did tell one girl that she was a bit "pitchy" at times - of course, I thought she was great, lol!

I don't really hate the audition shows, I think they're pretty amusing. But enough is enough - 3 weeks of it was way too much, IMO.

I agree.

But they auditioned in more cities this year...so

[Lee]

I just want to know why it's OK for the men to be overweight on there with Simon, but forget it with the women. I don't think he ever told Reuben that he was overweight. It just ticks me off.

Some of their choices really made me wonder. Paula saying that guy was better than James Brown. Was she kidding? No way! Opera girl, I had to hold my ears, too. And OMG, her clothes! Image problem there, I don't know who was worst dressed, the one last night that dressed like a hooker or opera girl. And I really couldn't tell who was the better singer with the twin guys, but I thought they were both OK.

Yeah, I don't know why I watch it at the beginning. Well, nothing really else on I guess, but some of those people that really can't sing, how could they embarrass theirself on national TV like that?

[sara1998]

This is my first season watching. I'm an AI virgin. ;) I think these auditioning epsiodes are absolutely hilarious! It has Sara and I cracking up. The man that sounded just like a woman cracked me up. I did feel bad for him afterword, though, when he was out there bawling..... And when that one woman was dressed up as a cow, was pulling her udders.... I was rollin. She was only on there for a second, though.

[dissention]

They've resorted to hiring actors to do the bad auditions. I spotted a few of them last night. The one that really stands out is the guy with the glasses who did the rap for the judges. He used to have his own show on Comedy Central and does commercials for DiGiorno pizza. :cool: They must think we're ****ing idiots.

Except that Chris Wylde's audition wasn't bad - it was certainly better than most rap I am forced to hear on the radio or watch on MTV :nod: (Although I don't guess that's really saying much... :laugh: ).

[Nixxxed]

Finally! Some real competition tonight. Although I notice they're still using old Whitney songs. :rolleyes: I wish they'd play the whole "Young Hearts Run Free" song from the '90s Romeo & Juliet movie. Now I can't stop singing it.

And I caught Paula & Ryan on Larry King just after AI aired, and the funniest thing happened:

Larry got Ryan talking about his metrosexual image, blah blah blah. And Paula somewhere chirped in asking Ryan about Botox, which he *of course* denied using. Then they move onto other subjects for a while, and the last phone call question went like this --

Larry: "Hello caller, what is your question?"
Male Caller: "Ryan, you just said that you don't get Botox injections. But what about BUTTOCK INJE?"

Larry cut the dude off very quickly. :laugh: :lol: :laugh:

Idol was good last night, but I'm looking forward to tonight. The group thing always screws them up. It's like another person is on stage & they forget how to walk & talk, let alone sing.

I can't believe they are only taking 12 boys and 12 girls to the semi-finals. Are the finals going to be 6 boys and 6 girls this year?

[WildInTheWind]

I am looking forward to the group thing tonight, too. This is the drama night. It seems like everyone gets along except on the group night. Should be entertaining!

I didn't realize they had to have a certain amount of boy and girls! I thought it was just whoever made it. The finals are always 12...right?

This year they changed it....12 boys and 12 girls. They are taking 24 instead of 32 to the semi-finals.

I dunno about the finals, though.

[WildInTheWind]

Hmm...well maybe it will be 6 and 6 then. That would kind of suck. They should just take who is the best, regardless of if they are boys or girls.

[skcin]

I believe it is 6 & 6 this year, after that it's whoever the audience picks.

I think I remember hearing that with the initial 12 & 12, the audience will vote off 2 of each gender every week for a few weeks until it gets down to a total of 12. After that, it's the usual.

Also - NO audience OR judge wild card picks either this year. I don't think that's right.

So, there will be three weeks of semis? Guys on one night, girls on the other? I think this might be better because they will be singing more than once to stay in the game. However, not having the judge's picks is a bad idea. They usually pick the good ones.

I believe so, unless I misunderstood. I agree with you about the judge's picks too. Not like anyone cares what WE think about it, lol!

I was a little disappointed that the chick who hocked her wedding ring didn't make it. I thought she was good enough, but she was pretty nervous. She was so heartbroken, I felt terrible.

What do you guys make of that other chick who quit? :shrug:

I wanted the girl who sold her wedding ring to get through, too. It wasn't like she was amazing (she was ok), I just felt sorry for her. As for the girl who quit, I can understand where she is coming from. I couldn't leave my 3 year old to take my chances on some reality show! BUT you would think she'd have thought of that before she even auditioned!

Well that was alright. I'm suprised they put the last 3 guys through! They were all very charismatic though, I'll give them that. I felt bad for the little Asian girl (who's skirt I loved by the way). She was a bit ditzy, but the other 2 in her group seemed like real bitches. And she seemed like she CAN sing...if she could have remembered the words! Who was Paula fighting for? The blonde guy?

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm guessing for the guy with the corn rows. Didn't she lose the battle, not making it the blonde guy? :shrug:

I have that Asian girl's skirt, 2 versions. :D But I didn't feel sorry for her, unless she has some kind of learning disability or something. :shrug: I mean, it's pretty basic to learn the lyrics. And especially of such an easy song. I mean, what was she doing? she had plenty of time to learn that. And I didn't think those girls were tooo bitchy, considering part of their performance was riding on what she did. :shrug: If she was having problems she should've just sat down with the lyrics for an hour. I kept waiting for one of those afterschool special "I....I CAN'T READ!!!" moments. :lol:

[amber]

I think Jenae is super gorgeous and she rocks! I think Natalie didn't make it because of her butt ugly yellow earrings... :laugh:

[amber]

Wow! the chubby guy group had some tight harmonies! :D I'm glad the surly one kicked it out. (scott)
Ok, swinging hair low voice guy is making me sick...ha, they dissed his whole group! :laugh: Oh, wait, this is the part where they fight. ewww, Simon has his ugly winning smirk on - and it was the blond guy. He got to stay. :wavey:

Paula said on Good Day Live this a.m. that she was fighting for the black guy with the cornrows who did the dumbass dance (and whose twin was in another group, and got thru...). Not sure this is what you are saying here, but regardless.

And I have no idea why she was fighting for anyone in that group - they all sucked. I think they only let the blonde guy thru cuz he's semi-pretty.

I thought the same thing - "what's with those friggin earrings?" And she was not that attractive, very plain but a little stuck-up. And she kinda sucked.

The other broad - OMG, the words are NOT that hard. Even if she can't read, just listen to the damn song over & over, you'll get it eventually! At first, I thought the other girls were total bitches, but then she was playing dumb - "What's up? What do you mean? Like, I can sing. I'll work it out. What's the problem?" What's the problem? HELLOOOOO?!?! You don't know the f*cking words you dumbass! And then to cry & say "this was really unfair." :shrug: Unfair how? Idiot.

Those 3 at the end are so lucky, I would've never let them through. Must have needed to have a certain # of people. :p

[ontheEdgeof17]

Tonight was a really good episode. All in all the judges picked the best that they could. Of course some got cut that shouldn't have and some fell through the cracks.

I think what they are doing tomorrow is a great idea. I think the talent will be 10 times better because of the reviewing of past performances and possible interviews. I bet the contestants that were put through thought they made it to the semis. WRONG!

[WildInTheWind]

It was good tonight. It's pretty harsh the way they are doing it though! Telling them they got through, then cutting 20 more people :shocked: But I think it's a good idea. For the most part, I thought the judges did a good job. There were a couple of people I was really sad to see go, and a couple that I was shocked made it. I just want to get on to the voting! I guess that starts next week...

[ontheEdgeof17]

That annoying guy with the corn rows that has a twin that Paula tried to fight for......I don't like him at all.....He's annoying as all get out. He better not make top 12....24 for that matter.

[Sorceress]

I must have missed it last night when they were explaining how they're going to cut the 20 who will leave tonight. Do they at least get to sing again before they're cut so they have another chance to impress the judges? Though I suppose the judges have seen enough to have already pretty much made up their minds.

I agree that last night was a good show, though Paula's fake crying when she was telling the groups they were through made me gag. After the first group it was pretty obvious which of the other groups were going to stay and which were going. There were a few people in the first group who could have gone through, I think. I liked the vocal instructor, but I guess they thought she didn't have the right look or was too mature.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to tonight's episode. :D

The judges are going to review the tapes of everyone and it looks like they are having interviews. I dunno about that, though. It said that we will find out the results when they do. So maybe the reveal is live?

Don't know if the reveal is live. :shrug: That would be cool.

Last night was great, I thought 1 was in, but obviously I was wrong. I knew 3 was out right away, though. Lots in that group were out of tune or just not that good. I think in general the judges made the right choices. :nod:

I l iked her too. I was suprised she was cut. I saw last night that she is only like 24? I thought she was older than that. But she was very good.

Nope, this episode is not live, but it is soooooooooooo intense. I'm on the edge of my seat.

You may be diappointed, sweetie. They call them into a room one by one & tell them if they're in or not. No singing (except for a few clips of the auditions from the previous shows.) :shrug: I liked it - like Curtis, I was on the edge of my seat. But you might not.

I won't give anything away for you kids on the opposite coast :wavey:. But I will say that I'm not all that upset about anyone who is out, with the exception of one or two peeps. I didn't even remember most of them - a sure sign to me that they weren't all that great to begin with.

Now! On to next week! Let the voting begin! :thumbsup:

Oh. well, that doesn't sound too bad. But can you tell me, did Jenae make it? She's my favorite so far. :D

[WildInTheWind]

I think she did. I like her, too. I like Constantine from the guys. I don't know why, I guess I like the rocker type guys :nod:

[Sorceress]

I usually like the shows with more singing, but last night's was just suspensful enough and low enough on the cheese factor to be really good. (Except for that Faith chick and her breakdown, that is).
I like Anwar the best for the whole package, but Scott's voice is my favorite. I think the skinny white boy with glasses (the really blond guy) is going to win. That's my prediction from far out in left field. Anybody else have any guess on who has the best chance to win?

[Kelly]

I adore Constantine...damn he is one fine looking boy and he can sing like a dream too! I also like Anthony F., the blonde with glasses who used to have the trach. I think Anwar is good too. Those three guys are my top picks out of the men. The girls.......hmmmm. I like Lindsey C. and the mail carrier from Florida...Vontell??

I was sad to see little Jackie Crum go.. I thought she had a nice voice but perhaps Simon felt she had too much baggage with her Mom and all. That Mickayla from Vegas, damn she is annoying but her voice is ok. Sort of sultry and husky lke Stevie's....

Constantine is great, I like him better than the other rocker guy (bo?) Hope they don't cancel eachother out.

As for winners? I like Scott's voice, but his stage presence sucks. I really like the blond kid with glasses, as well as the music teacher with the dreads (Or are they braids? Can't remember.)

As for the girls, I like the annoying 16 year old. She has a great voice & really plays the crowd. Very confident without being cocky. I LOVE the black girl with the big orangey-blond hair, as well Fonzelle (sp?) Can't remember her name exactly, I remember it cuz of the "Fonz" part :laugh:

[golden braid]

I think the skinny white boy with glasses (the really blond guy) is going to win. That's my prediction from far out in left field. Anybody else have any guess on who has the best chance to win?

I think he's going to win too. I think he has a great voice plus he has the story of how he was supposed to lose his voice or something like that.

I thought the Jackie girl sang ok but I didn't think she was going to make it because she was just so emotional. Plus she's only 16 and she has many more years to try out again.

I like that there are 2 rocker guys in the finals but I don't think either will win. I like Constantine better.

[AliP]

Nobody likes Mario Vasquez?? He is HOT!

How about Carrie Underwood?? I think she's great. She reminds me of Kelly Clarkson.

I'm putting my bets on these two making it to at least the top five.

Also, where did all these guys come from?? They just decide to spring them on us last night? I've never even seen half of them before.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Here's my Top 12 Predictions:

Boys

1. Anthony
2. Anwar
3. Joseph
4. Mario
5. Jared
6. Judd

Girls

1. Mikalah
2. Sarah M.
3. Amanda
4. Carrie
5. Nadia
6. Celena


idolonfox.com has the top 24 listed w/ pics.

[heyjupiter678]

I tried to check out the Fox site, but it won't load for me. Anyway, who's the girl with the Alana Davis voice? I really like her and the cute music teacher guy.

[WildInTheWind]

I was sad to see little Jackie Crum go.. I thought she had a nice voice but perhaps Simon felt she had too much baggage with her Mom and all. .

I was sad to see her go, too. I thought she was good...very young though. She should give it another try next year.

[Sorceress]

Top 12 if I were choosing (in no particular order):

Girls:
1. Nadia
2. Mikalah
3. Janay
4. Carrie
5. Vonzell
6. Celena

Guys:
1. Anwar
2. Anthony
3. Travis
4. Mario
5. Judd
6. Jared

I was not sad to see Jackie go--too much crying. She needs some time to mature. Her voice is great, so she should definitely come back in a couple of years.

[golden braid]

Nobody likes Mario Vasquez?? He is HOT!



I like him too. He's a cutey.

Thank you! Ever since the tryouts, every time they showed Mario I thought to myself, "WHO does he look like?" The funny thing? That '70s Show reruns come on right before Idol here, and I still didn't figure it out... :rolleyes: (And he seriously needs to lose the hat. But his performance was most fun of the night.)

And ... Scott Savol? ... scares me.

And how many Stevie Wonders songs were there tonight? 3? sheesh.

I *want* to like Constantine, but just not sure I do yet.

And did Anway have half of his goldish leather jacket tucked in, or was it cut that way? (And I wonder what Joan Rivers would have to say about it. ;) :D )

[EnchantedSLN]

LOVED Bo & 'Drift Away'. Constantine is cute, but he can't sing. I was actually surprised he even got this far. Did anyone see the commercial for the "new special" Celebrities Without Makeup? It looks so trashy, but I'm totally watching :laugh:.

I was thinking half of them might not look so horrific if they hadn't had all the plastic surger. :rolleyes: I thought Constantine sounded ok.

That's why I've lost interest in the show, the music is atrocious. I hate hearing men sing ballads, especially twentysomething punks. :laugh:

I love man that can belt out a ballad.

I loooved Scotts ballad the best tonight. Made me tingley and my nipples hard...... :woohoo:

[dissention]

:lol:

Many things make my nipples get hard, but hearing a man screech and moan over his lover or his "baby" does nothing to get them erect. :laugh:

[Kelly]

I have a mad crush on Constantine. He picked a difficult song and Bo did sound better last night.
I was so not a fan of that Elvis impersonator!

[ontheEdgeof17]

And ... Scott Savol? ... scares me.

And how many Stevie Wonders songs were there tonight? 3? sheesh.



Scott looks like a carnivore. Everytime I picture him I see arm flesh in his mouth, dripping with blood.


...and yes, cool it with the Stevie Wonder. I'm sick of it.

[Sorceress]

Well, I think I'm going to have to retool my top 6 guys list after last night. Overall, I agree that this is the best group of guys they've ever had. Even the bad ones were not SO bad. No one was embarrassing, anyway.

Based on last night, I think Judd can go, Travis can go, David can go, and even Anthony can go. (That's 3 of the 6 I originally like best, though mostly because I thought Travis and Judd had nice smiles and Anthony reminds me of a cuter Clay.) Nikko can go too. Both he and Mario need to lose their hats if I'm ever going to vote for them. I didn't enjoy Mario's performance at all...I couldn't believe the judges loved it so much.

As for the best of last night, I liked Anwar (for choosing something not Stevie Wonder), Bo (for his voice), Constantine (for his song selection, even though he was a little "pitchy" :laugh:), and Scott (because I love his voice even though he is hard to watch).

I can't wait to see tonight to find out how wrong I was about the girls. :thumbsup:

Oh, and I'm going to be watching the Stafs without their makeup too--those are the articles in the super market tabloids that always make me page through them frantically to see before it's my turn at the checkout!

[skcin]

Oh. I don't like that as much. I'm not sure I love the new format.


Don't worry, Amby. It's only like this for 3 weeks, then it's back to the usual. :wavey:

I agree - the ballads have to go. *YAWN*

And Nikko - Part Time Lover? Out of all the Stevie Wonder tunes out there, you pick Part Time Lover? Good God.

Anyway, I really like Scott, despite the serial killer look. Anwar did well - but wtf was up with that jacket? It was quite distracting. I thought Mario & Bo's performances were the best. I like Constantine, but I thought he sucked last night. I was disappointed in Fedorov too, he seemed out of tune at times.

I have to agree, though - definitely the best bunch so far! :nod:

[Livia]

I don't know all their names yet! The dread guy is my favorite, although his song choice last nite was lame. And despite the last guy looking like Fez, I like him too.

Constantine doesn't do anything for me yet - he has good stage presence, but I agreed w/ the judges' comments on his singing.

[SuzeQuze]

Yeah, that sharp note got to me too. But overall he was very commanding.

[golden braid]

I get so tired of all the boring, sappy songs that I like the performances that have some pizzazz. I really like Mario and I thought Constantine was ok too because he has good stage presence. I also enjoyed Bo's performance and that was about it. I think Anwar is a good singer but that song was just awful.

[Amy Y]

Ugh. Last night was such a boring watch for me. What were some of those guys thinking with their song choices? I was mostly bored to tears. And I usually LOVE male vocalists. I was impressed with Bo, though. The sound of his voice really stands out. It's completely unique compared to the others. Anthony has potential. I was pretty discouraged when Constantine was singing. He had some strange problem with tempo. There was one other who was great (but sang a crappy song), but I can't remember his name. The guy doing Elvis? He can screw off. I can't stand that phoney crap. JPL or whatever his name was from last season was the same way -- an absolute running gag that lasted way too long.

I hope the girls are better, though I can't believe I'm saying so. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to female vocalists. We'll see.

[skcin]

[heyjupiter678]

Carrie Underwood and Nadia are the gems. Everyone else can leave.

No one should ever sing a Celine Dion song if they want to win a competition. Bleeech.

[Nixxxed]

I missed the guys, but I saw most of tonight. I'm the half of the audience who finds Mikahla annoying. :laugh:
Me too - sounds like Simon underestimated the non-Mikalah fans by about 25%. :laugh:

And what the hell? Last night, all the guys sang high. Tonight, all the girls sang low. Not to be sexist, but...

And why did they let the last chick sing the "f*ck me on the floor" Beyonce song in a dress that nearly showed her cooch? Last year they made Amy Adams edit the "mattress dancing" line out of "Sin Wagon" by the Dixie Chicks. Was that one of the big changes for this season -- you CAN finally try to be sexy? (Not that the last girl was...) :shrug:

Loved the chick with the wild fro & "Country Girl" (Carrie?). And the first girl was OK, but I'm SO sick of contestants performing "Heatwave". :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

Shush your mouth! :laugh:

I love her! We have the same personality. To you, that is a bad thing. ;)

Bye Bye Janay and Sarah

I think Mikalah's voice is just awful. How did she even get on there? :shrug:

But I love Nadia and Aloha. :D

[Sorceress]

Well, I've had enough of Mikalah too. I thought her performance ability compensated for her annoying personality, but I see tonight that I was wrong.

Nadia and Aloha were the highlights of the night. I voted for those two, and also for Vonzell and Janay, just because I think they can do better and would like to see them have the chance.

[amber]

I know, this is the first time i've heard Mikalah, I couldn't believe it, her voice is terrible. Oh, god, she's like Fran Drescher. Help!

[heyjupiter678]

Oh, god, she's like Fran Drescher. Help! That's exactly who I thought of when she was talking to Ryan. It's scary.

She looked and sounded constipated. Give this girl some stool softners!

[Kelly]

Janay choked so hard. My favorite by far is Carrie. Her voice is gorgeous.
Mickayla was so friggin annoying......that voice....she just took the act way too far with the "hey Randy" or whatever it was in the middle of the song. She is sixteen and trying to act 26.
I think that chick Lindsay has a pretty voice but her song choice last night sucked. At this point, there are a couple whom I would not mind losing.


Can someone tell me about new format? How many people will be cut tonight and for how many more weeks will they work it this way? I am not sure I like it....I think, perhaps, they changed it.. as the old system was flawed in the sense that if you had three top singers in the same group..only two could go through. At least this way...the judges can see who is pulling in the highest/lowest votes all at one time.


Still of fan of cute Constantine..although I think I like his "look" more than his voice. I feel like I should be rooting for Fedorav as he lives right up the road from Marissa and I but he was sort of boring the other night. I do think he has potential..sort of reminds me of a cuter Clay.

[skcin]

Aloha & Carrie were amazing last night! When Carrie's first song started, I was like "no way, this can't be Tiffany!" And it was! Could've Been was one of my favorite songs at one time. Granted, I was 12, but whatevah! She was great. And I adore Nadia, she's probably my favorite girl right now.

Mikalah - eh. At times I think she's cute & at other times she's intolerable. Jessica & Vonzell were decent.

The rest all blend together - Sarah, Melinda, Celena, Lindsey, Amanda. Blah. They can all go home, as far as I'm concerned. Janay was obviously nervous, she was shaking like a leaf. Hopefully she'll make it to prove she can do better, but who knows.

Can't wait for tonight, even though I may just Tivo it to get through the dragged out hour.

For the next 3 weeks: boys on one night, girls on the next. At the end of each show, the audience votes. The bottom two from each group get elimintated. So next week, it's 10 boys & 10 girls. The week after it's 8 & 8. When they get it down to 6 & 6, it's back to normal.

I actually like it this way - gives the audience more of a say in who makes it. Of course, if I don't like the results tonight, I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune tomorrow!

[Sorceress]

I like it this way too. It's easier to keep straight who is who. The people who don't get kicked off get more chances to sing, so we get to know them and really know who deserves to be in the top 12.

[cliffdweller]

Loved the chick with the wild fro & "Country Girl" (Carrie?). And the first girl was OK, but I'm SO sick of contestants performing "Heatwave". :nod:

Heatwave sucks unless Linda Ronstadt is singing it. :thumbsup:

I like the fro girl too, what was her name? And now my husband is in love with the Fran Drescher girl (her name escapes me as well)....great, I'll never hear the end of it :rolleyes:

[Lee]

Man, I swore last year I wouldn't watch this show again when LaToya didn't win & here I am again watching it! My favorites are Anthony (from Trevose, PA) & Carrie. And I'll tell you why I like them. They are not showy, & they can sing. Anthony reminds me of Clay Aiken & though I liked Ruben, I always thought Clay should have won, but turns out that didn't make much difference. Though I don't like country music, Carrie can sing anything. I'm pulling for both of them to finish up there.

Lee :)

[SuzeQuze]

Carrie has a wonderful voice, she is very gifted. Nadia rocks, she's sort of got the Tina Turner thing going on. Mikalah, the Fran Drescher type is a good performer but I agree with Simon in that she could become annoying. Right now my favorites are Bo and Carrie. Love those rocker dudes. :D

Here they all are:

http://idolonfox.com/contestants/

[golden braid]

I thought Mikalah sounded good initially but I didn't like her voice last night at all. And she totally reminds me of The Nanny, Fran Drescher.

I think Carrie has a really good chance of winning the whole competition. She's a great singer, she's cute, and she seems to have a sweet personality. I also like Nadia and Aloha. They're different too. I hate when everyone just sings a power ballad type song.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Aloha & Carrie were amazing last night! When Carrie's first song started, I was like "no way, this can't be Tiffany!" And it was! Could've Been was one of my favorite songs at one time.



Girl, I pulled that song out when the show was over. I still love it! It's in my car now for the trips to campus. :)

[Livia]

http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/81-02232005-454399.html - great read!

"Jessica Sierra – Gawd, if I hear Jessica sing “Against All Odds” one more time, the last thing I’ll be looking at is the barrel of a gun. Actually, her song choice was a propos, because if Jessica wins, it WILL be against all odds. Kind of reminded me of a young Stevie Nicks or something – all she needs are some scarves on her mic stand."

[SuzeQuze]

Girl, I pulled that song out when the show was over. I still love it! It's in my car now for the trips to campus. :)

That's awesome. :D I recognized that as her song too. It really is a good song. I should really be shocked that someone your age has that... but it's you. :D :laugh: That's so cute!

This song reminds me of my highschool boyfriend cuz it came out after we broke up. Oh man. :distress: That was a really bad time. Also, Dirty Dancing came out around the same time, luvs it!

She reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it. I'm suprised Janay didn't get voted off. I think she had the worst performance last night...but she really just seemed extrememly nervous. Hopefully she does better next week, I like her voice. The first girl that got voted off was a little...I don't know, kind of sore loser-ish? Saying she got voted off because she didn't get as much exposure as the others in the beginning. I don't know. Could be true I guess.

The funniest thing about the Dubya one is the "accessories" he is "wearing". In his shirt pocket are "Bad Guy Cards". His watch just says "Time to Cut Taxes". He's got a sign on his back "If found return me to the White House." In his left hand a book, "EZ Guide to Being Prez". In his right is "Super Hero Comics" And in his back pocket, "English as a Second Language"

I have seen that one at the local pet store. My girls love "squeaky fish" a/k/a "Lucky Carp" seen here http://store.ruffn-it.com/carpdogtoy.html

Many a night I have fallen to sleep to the symphony of the squeaky fish only to be abruptly awakened by a slap in the face with it thereby indicating it is time for the ape to play with the true owners of the house :eek: :laugh:

Oh that's adorable. My Dad's dog would love that, Mufy would too. This morning I was awakened at about 5 am because he was biting my feet. Earlier in the morning he was playing the "knock stuff off the dresser" game. I love my Mr. Mischief!

I don't want Dubya in any type of wrestling gear.

:mental image of him in spandex: :shocked:

With red cowboy boots!:laugh: Sorry, you started it by passing along this awful image. ;)

I love it when they are that way. Wynee the Pooh has been known to sit on my pillow and look for fleas in my hair, which is the same color as her coat!!!!! Then, of course, Laine (ee the pooh) has been known to attack my feet when they move under the covers :eek:

I LOVE my dogs!!!!!!

I may have to take Wynee the Pooh to NYC when I go to the NOTS!!!!!!!!

Well, if my dog (either of them) would be on that American Idol fiasco with her squeaky fish - she would win :cool:

I still am loving Bo and Carrie. I also like Mikalah and Nadia and Mario and Anwar. I liked Constantine but he just poses too much and I'm getting sick of it. Be real, yo! :laugh:

Very cute. I call that game "catch the thing under the blanket". Mufy likes that one too. He grooms himself constantly, he's so vain. He always looks so perfect. When I brush him, he tries to eat the tufts of fur that fly around. He hasn't groomed my head though. :laugh: It would be so great to see Wynee in NYC!

Well, she would have her pink Barbie cell phone and a Scottie plaid travelling duster, tam, and satchel, which she holds with he tail :laugh: :laugh:


Lord dog people are strange :laugh:

At my house, it's the 6 AM "knock stuff off the vanity" game. Oy...why can't he just meow when he wants out? It's either knock things off tables or he goes into what I call "Indy 500" mode - doing laps inside the house at 200 mph - just a fur blur!

[strandinthewind]

. . . just a fur blur!

I am so adopting that phrase :laugh: :laugh:

Okay, yeah, back to business. :) While it's true that Melinda didn't get much exposure earlier in the show, neither did Aloha--I didn't know who either of them were before the other night. The difference was that Melinda's performance, song choice, and personality were forgettable, while Aloha stood out. I also didn't see much of Jessica, Lindsey, or Sarah early on, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. :shrug: I hope the people that get kicked off in the future are more gracious--I think this group was just pissed because they had to be the first off, the most unpopular. Being first off means they will be the first forgotten. They probably thought they could hang in there for a while and be maybe 5th most unpopular or something. :laugh:

So, I think the audience did a good job this week. Some of the mediocre people are gone and all of the talent remains. I am already looking forward to next week. :D
