are you ready for a shocker?

I have never seen an episode of american idol. never.

[dissention]

No one can ever be ready for such tackiness and sickeningly manufactured garbage being thrusted upon them.

That doesn't surprise me......coming from you. ;)

Good, than you will stay out of the thread then? :)

I'll take it under consideration, but I make no guarantees.

[GypsySorcerer]

I just hope it's better than last season. :o

I suppose that's better than nothing...

This will be the first full season I actually get to watch.

[Livia]

I'm ready - the first few episodes are always the best!

Sure they can! Bring it on!

I love the auditions. That's the best part of the season. You know you want to watch it, Diss......... :D

[Wild_Heart03]

The auditions are, by far, the best part of the whole show. Most of the rest of the season I watch off and on, but I'm glued to the TV during the auditions.

I'm with you- the auditions are the best. Tons of laughs! :nod: After that, it just gets super corny.

[jannieC]

The first season and last season were the only two I watched. I'll admit it- I love it. :woohoo:

[vermicious knid]

Another season, another wonderful opportunity to. . .

Vote
For
The
Worst
!!!

That's right, the maddening craze that swept the nation is back for another year! During the initial auditions phase, the producers want you to be entertained by all the terrible performers. But then, in the finals, all the sudden we are expected to stop finding this terrible talent entertaining, and vote for who the judges and 19E entertainment have pre-selected as the winner. The Vote For the Worst philosophy says that American Idol is a joke, but the joke can be on them if we choose. We say "Screw the Man!"

Ya know, for ****s and giggles, I just might do that this year. But, does it really matter? For all we know, the voting is rigged.

[JazmenFlowers]

I love this show. It will be my new show to watch since all my "old" shows are on hiatus.

Having been through the audition process with AI a few times, I like to watch the auditions.

[Livia]

An article in today's paper said about a dozen people from the Austin auditions were sent to Hollywood. :thumbsup:

[SapphireSister]

I haven't watched a season in it's entirety since the first. Since then I've only watched the auditions. After that it's trash. This year however, depending on how bad it really is I may watch the whole season. It just starts to bore me once I get beyond the humor of the auditions.

I'm sure a lot of people know this but I know someone who auditioned and gave me the scoop (I had a feeling about this but wasn't sure). Thousands of people audition before they ever get in front of Paula, Simon, and Randy. These people they audition in front of pick people who are particularly bad to go in front of the official judges strictly for entertainment purposes knowing they will never make it through. The majority of people, good or bad, never make it in front of the official judges.

[Red]

I'll watch the auditions and that's it. I love the comic relief of the first few eps but then it just becomes the same old sh*t...very difficult to watch. Didn't that country chick win last year? And isn't she boring? Yep.

[cliffdweller]

Woo-hoo! Another season of hilarity. Diss, if you watch this show for its comedic value, there actually is a payoff in the end.

[DavidMn]

No one can ever be ready for such tackiness and sickeningly manufactured garbage being thrusted upon them.Dont EVEN tell me you didnt want a piece of Bo Bice last year...:lol:

it's a load of crap...unless you have no job and nothing else to do for a week besides sit by the phone it's not worth trying out

[DavidMn]

[Brwn_eyes0511]

THROW MY HANDS UP IN SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blob1:


:lol:


Who else is watching?

[Livia]

I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy-y-y-y (repeat) :lol:

[sara1998]

OMG!!! :eek: This **** is cracking me up. :lol: I love it!!!

[ryan8472]

WTF? They now accept crack addicts onto the show. :p

[dissention]

WTF? They now accept crack addicts onto the show. :p

Ummmm, Paula has been on it for the past four seasons.

Ummmm, Paula has been on it for the past four seasons.
True-true. I wasn't aware they were looking to replace her though. :)

[ontheEdgeof17]

I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy-y-y-y (repeat) :lol:


And he is from West Virginia.....oy:distress:

[Sorceress]

Ooh, the tan chick was my favorite. Paris Hilton's economically-challanged twin.

[Mageboy25]

Since ive watched the last 4 seasons im quite sick of it.

Tonight I half ass watched the auditions while i was online. I hated all of it, the bad people are so staged, same old songs boring boring. Since ive overkilled the past 4 years i may or may not watch most of it this season.

The whole feel to me is the same rehashed routine, kinda like a Stevie Nicks setlist, haha just kidding...........

Agreed. I watched it for about 1/2 hour while my laundry was drying and thought well, same 'ol ****. Everyone that can't sing get basically the same reactions from the judges, and everyone that CAN sing just sound like good imitators of already established pop stars. Also, hearing "My Girl" for the ZILLIONTH time on that friggin' show made me want to shoot my tele.

American Idol was here doing auditions this round, and I had several friends try out. None of my friends made it through to Randy, Paula, and Simon. :)

[JazmenFlowers]

blue moon girl was my favorite

[jannieC]

blue moon girl was my favorite
Oh man, I forgot about her! Bless her heart. :lol:

[cliffdweller]

How about the Ukrainian girl? OMG, I think I've seen her in porn :p:lol:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Do you think there are too many twin/sibling teams in already? I think everyone should try out individually....


And how about that loon that made it through at the end of the show? Simon. was. pissed.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Ooh, the tan chick was my favorite. Paris Hilton's economically-challanged twin.

She was horrible looking......and sounding.

The end montage which showed her singing....clearly her inspiration has been Ms. Aguilera....and I just couldn't stop laughing!!! :lol:

yeah, the twin thing is cute maybe once, but geez...not 3, 4, 5 times

and that idiot at the end pissed me off because they put that fool through yet probably didn't send someone who really had talent - I'm telling y'all this show is a joke

[ontheEdgeof17]

I don't think it's a joke. People slip through the cracks all the time....Britney Spears....Ashlee Simpson. It's real life. Some people who have great talent send in demos to record producers and get thrown away. Others, like Simpson, just have to say "My daddy is a producer and my sister is a star" and get a record deal. It sucks, but that's life.

Ugh. I think that's so unfair. Not only should they not be allowed to audition together, they shouldn't be allowed to sing together either.

That crackhead getting through almost makes me not want to watch this show anymore. So what? They axe all those other horrible people and pick this guy? Why? I guess they think he'll bring in ratings. Whatever :rolleyes:.

I also thought it was mean that they brought in poor-man's Paris Hilton's mother to the audition room to humiliate her. Poor form folks. Poor form.

How true.....especially in this day and time, it's more about looks/sexuality than actual talent. Which, there is nothing wrong with having looks or showing off your sexuality...but please have some talent to back it up with.

Ashlee Simpson doesn't have either if you ask me. :shrug:

[cliffdweller]

Well this guy ain't got the looks, so what's the excuse? :shrug:

Somehow I don't think she was humiliated? :shrug:

I think....comic relief. At least that's what it looks like Paula and Randy had in mind when they put him through.

No, that's not what I meant. I wasn't clear. The show is a show, it's a spectacle. "joke" = funny, hoot, wack, out of control

I understand what you mean about people slipping through the cracks.

[cliffdweller]

Somehow I don't think she was humiliated? :shrug:


Well of course she is too dense to understand that they were trying to humiliate her (or maybe she wasn't, I don't know). Simon should have left it alone, and while we're on the subject of these two, enough already about the girl's tan. Can we eat up more time talking about her stupid tan? Yes, it's stupid, it looks horrible, but do we need to spend 10 minutes talking about how bad it looks? Not only was it dumb on Simon's part, but it was mindnumbing as well. I didn't know I had this much rant in me today! :laugh:

[JazmenFlowers]

the part that really ticked me off was when he made the comment about needing a bigger stage for the girl that sang (and sounded awesome)...I couldn't believe it. And Paula's ass should have stood up for her more and not grinned so stupid since she has dealt with eating disorders.

Agreed. I'm glad the woman didn't hear him at the time, but you know she watched it on TV last night. That was beyond rude.

I love this friggin' show.

Right, but not only that- it seems as though mother/daughter take great pride in how they look. But I agree, it was stupid on Simon's part. The whole thing is stupid, but I love it.

[sara1998]

Nothing like that white trash look......:lol:

[SapphireSister]

The highlights of the show were first off Crystal (the tan girl). Her singing is the funniest thing I've ever heard but her stupidity is what really got me. Is she for real or just playing a character? At the end when she was singing Lady Marmalade I was simply dying! I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

The girl from the Ukraine was my next favorite. I'm so glad they let her go for as long as they did. Those movements, OMG absolutely f*ucking hilarious! And Paula got all into it and took her jacket off and said she was sexy. I love how she messed up the lyrics too and those words with that accent were classic!

As far as the crazy guy getting through, it was obviously for entertainment purposes. I highly doubt they truly believe he has talent. It's TV and crazy people = ratings.

I've auditioned twice and once for Making the Band

[ReFleetwoodMac]

OMG! Is Simon really as cute in person as everyone says? And Paula's really black, right?

[dissention]

OMG!

Oh my Jesus!!

Is Simon really as cute in person as everyone says?

Cuter!!

And Paula's really black, right?

She's a man, baby!!

[SapphireSister]

OMG that little gay cowboy who made it through was so adorable!

[dissention]

OMG that little gay cowboy who made it through was so adorable!

I was channel flipping and caught him. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. He can't sing, but he's a sweetie.

I also caught that last kid right before Lost came on. More power to him if he wants to wear female clothing, it's also kind of adorable, but why feign shock when people get confused about your actual gender in the men's room? Poor thing. I felt bad for him and how he willingly agreed to be exploited like that.

It's his own damn fault he made an ass of himself on national television. They cut him cuz he sucked and he went on a ramapage about equal rights and the way he looks. Seems to me he is not as comfortable in his skin like he thinks he is.

The kid is daft, no doubt. He's only, what, 18? But I still feel bad for the people, not the actors, who think they can actually sing and run out crying when they're told they sound like cats being anally electrocuted.

[SapphireSister]

I was channel flipping and caught him. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. He can't sing, but he's a sweetie.


I know, I was shocked he made it but good for him, he gets to fly on a plane like he's always dreamed of :laugh:. It will be fun to see his reaction to Hollywood.

Did you see how he was jumping up and down? So cute. I just wanted to give him a hug and squeal right along with him. :laugh:

"I've only sung for the turkey."

[SapphireSister]

I love how they played the theme song from The Crying Game when he walked out. Classic :lol:!

Bottom line is he was blaming the judges for being narrow minded and "prejudice" for not picking him when it had nothing to do with his gender confusion - he just couldn't sing.

I can't believe the chick who did the Bjork song made it. She seemed more like a cartoon character to me than a future idol.

[ontheEdgeof17]

This story is on those twins who were dressed all in white.


'Idol' Twins Charged With Forgery, Theft

AP
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - They sang like angels for their audition on Tuesday's 'American Idol' premiere, but a pair of Memphis twins may sound more like jailbirds by the time the show goes live from Hollywood.

Terrell Brittenum, 28, has been in jail since Jan. 10 on an outstanding warrant for charges related to the illegal purchase of a car in Rockdale County, Ga., east of Atlanta.

He and his brother, Derrell, are accused of using another man's identity to buy a 2005 Dodge Magnum in June.

Derrell was expected to turn himself in on the same charges of forgery, theft by deception and financial identity fraud, The Commercial Appeal newspaper reported.

The brothers auditioned together in September for the hit TV show 'American Idol' and impressed the show's prickly judges to continue to the next round. Segments of the show have already been recorded and will air during the next few weeks.

Fox Broadcasting Co. refused to discuss the Brittenums or their status on the show.

The return of the show Tuesday drew its best-ever season premiere ratings with 35.5 million viewers. It was a 6 percent increase over last year's debut, according to preliminary Nielsen Media Research figures.

[jannieC]

At first, I couldn't figure out why the original judges let the horrible people through to Paula, Simon, and Randy. But then it occured to me that maybe they're (the show) trying to show what the whole auditioning process is really like? That no talent people really do come to auditions, thinking they can sing.

Btw- I loved that little cowboy, too. I was SO happy he made it through. I think he really can sing- he was just so nervous, bless his heart. At first, my husband and I were talking sh*t about the whole "cowboy" thing, until we realized that these people really are actual cowboys! So, they can wear the boots and the hats. :)

[cliffdweller]

I was channel flipping and caught him. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. He can't sing, but he's a sweetie.


He, like spaz attack, should not have gone through. What is UP with the judges this season? My theory is that they're trying to get some underdogs in the competition for the country to root for. Sad thing is, they're not going to make it past the second round.

[cliffdweller]

I can't believe the chick who did the Bjork song made it. She seemed more like a cartoon character to me than a future idol.


Again, it's the underdog theory. Whatevs. The carbon copy people will win like they always do. Letting these "different" less talented people through is only a ploy. It'll all even out as the competition continues.

[GypsySorcerer]

The cowboy was just so lovable. I hope he enjoys the plane ride and Hollywood. :)

[JazmenFlowers]

OMG that little gay cowboy who made it through was so adorable!
I.almost.cried.

Seriously, I was so happy for him for some reason...

That's some of it, but a lot is ratings. Notice they let some of the most God-awful people through - to get a laugh, make it fun, keep things interesting, give Simon someone to snark at. Then there are the people who are well aware that they can't sing, but they want to get on TV. :rolleyes:

[Sorceress]

The cowboy was just so lovable. I hope he enjoys the plane ride and Hollywood. :)

And the plane ride right back. He WAS adorable, but unless he got some serious voice lessons pdq, I'm afraid he won't last long. I hope he did. You kind of HAVE to root for him.

I'm rooting for the homeless girl too. She was really good, and I'm a sucker for sappy side stories.

That whole homeless thing kind of bugged me. Get a f*cking job.

Which one was she? The Bjork girl?

[Sorceress]

That whole homeless thing kind of bugged me. Get a f*cking job.

Well, yeah, I didn't hear exactly WHY she was homeless--my attention must have wandered if they said what happened. Did they give a reason? I guess I figure it can happen for all kinds of reasons and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, I liked the tone of her voice and thought she performed well. I also liked the guy with the bald head and adopted kids. His wife was ridiculous with all her crying though.
At this early stage I like to try to pick out who I think will make it to the top 12. I don't think the homeless girl will, but that guy might. I HOPE the little cowboy doesn't, just because I don't know that he'd be able to perform well. I remember how embarrassed I was for John Stevens--(the redheaded oldies guy from season 3). Poor thing was just awful and people kept voting for him for some reason. By the end he looked like he was pleading for people to put him out of his misery.

[skcin]

Which one was she? The Bjork girl?


No, the one who claimed that she was just evicted, and was about to be evicted again. Looked to be dressed & fed pretty well for being homeless. :sorry:

[Sorceress]

Which one was she? The Bjork girl?

I don't remember her name, but I think she was the one whose family wore t-shirts that spelled out her name (which was totally stupid, btw).

[cliffdweller]

Damn, I don't remember her at all. I was making dinner at the time so I missed a bit of it. You know, I'm kind of surprised Simon didn't vote for the bald rocker with the ball bag wife. He was better than some of those jerk-offs he was voting for.

Pffft, he was boring & lame. Typical of the schlubs who think that singing a song as generically as possible and without a hint of originality is going to get them props. I wanted his ass to be sent back home. At least the Bjork girl was entertaining and could sing a little.

I guess the competition up to that point was just so horrendous that that guy stood out as someone who could at least sing, even if it was generic. I think if he lost some of the vocal posturing he could be even better. Now every rocker wannabe is going to try to be the next Bo.

Speaking of Bjork girl, "It's Oh So Quiet" is one of my husband's favorite songs so he was all into it of course and I'm sitting there going, "she ain't no Bjork that's for sure." :laugh: But you're right, at least she had the balls to try something different.

BO SUCKS. That is all. The Entertainment Weekly review of his album was ****ing priceless and summed his dumb ass up perfectly.

:laugh: I thought she was very refreshing. It's so dull to hear all of those voices that sound exactly alike & sterile of any emotion. That chick was having a blast and you could tell. Loved her!

They hardly ever show the really good ones during this phase. When they do show them, you are like, "Damn. Where did they come from?"

[SapphireSister]

I'm rooting for the homeless girl too. She was really good, and I'm a sucker for sappy side stories.

She had an amazing voice! My question is how could she have been homeless when she had like 50 family members there supporting her? She couldn't stay with one of them after she got evicted? Sounds strange.

[SapphireSister]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 16 yr old girl who had the most incredible voice! She blew me away and is my favorite so far.

[jannieC]

No, the one who claimed that she was just evicted, and was about to be evicted again. Looked to be dressed & fed pretty well for being homeless. :sorry:
I work with homeless people and 100% of the time, the people I work with have lost everything to drugs or alcohol. That girl had a whole ****load of people supporting her and she's homeless? You have to not pay your rent for a while to be evicted. And evicted twice? Eh. Sorry- I don't buy it.

They'll cut Bjork girl cuz she's "too Broadway and showtune for this competition."

Homeless girl certainly hasn't missed any meals - and her whole freaking family traveled with her from Kansas to Denver for her audition. Whatevah. Sob story my arse.

Just to go on record, I didn't like her because of her sob story, but because of her voice. :nod: You all have some very good points. Obviously with so much family support she won't be sleeping on the streets anytime soon. I guess she thought it would be a good gimmick? Apparently it worked, since we're now all talking about "the homeless girl!" :lol: It's sort of a shame, since she actually has talent and didn't really need a gimmick to get noticed.

Just curious--what percentage of the people you work with would you say have some sort of serious mental illness? That's the population I work with, and I know many of my clients have been homeless in the past. Of course most of them had substance abuse issues too, so, what you said makes sense. Sorry, totally OT! Back to our regular Idol programming.

It's hard to tell because when someone is messed up on drugs, you really can't get an accurate diagnosis. I believe you're on target though- I've always felt that the majority of homeless people suffer with some level of mental illness.

What bugs me about that girl on American Idol is that she's probably using the homeless schtick to get votes (if she gets that far, of course), not just to be noticed. It's such a serious issue and well, it just bugs me. She does have a great voice- she should have just stuck with that. :shrug:

I can NOT believe Ms. Ann Nesby was there. I couldn't catch the relation to the girl that auditioned, but for sure she got Ann's talents. I have been a fan of Ann's for years. That woman can SANG honey...

I think she was her grandmother(?).

Last night's show was filmed where I live (Greensboro)- kind of embarrassing, but the blonde girl from Abermarle (sp?) kind of made up for everyone else.

I had an American Idol revelation, though. At the end, when they showed everyone singing Fame, I noticed that it included several people who had auditioned with other songs. So, do they have whoever makes it to Randy, Paula, and Simon do several songs, then use what they think is best for the show? You all probably noticed this in maybe, season one, but I'm slow. It took the performance of Rhonetta ("You think I'm gonna drink off you, motherf*cker?) to light the bulb in my head.

[SuzeQuze]

Aw....That Kelly girl just brought tears to my eyes. I hope she does well.

She's amazing. There were a few with really amazing talent tonight. How about that Guardsman? He really put it out there. And he's married! Probably good for Paula and her rep, hehe.

I loved Nesby's granddaughter (? - I'm not sure if they said the exact relation, I missed it). She is really great. I wondered why her makeup and everything was perfect at such a young age until I realized who she was. I was really moved by her performance. She's something to behold!

Here's what I think. I think they choose a song at each stop and make everyone sing it....not in front of the judges....in another room...just for laughs....Last week was Lady Marmalade......this week Fame.

Just my thought. :shrug:

Okay, Rhonetta is an idiot. Those 3 are powerful music industry people, if she thinks she's getting anywhere now she is sadly mistaken. Plus she can't sing. She makes Mariah look classy though! ;)

I think some people do more than one song for Simon, Paula, and Randy and others do not.

[Livia]

Kelly Pickler!!! :thumbsup: What a sweetheart, and what a voice!!!

I also loved the 42-foster-home chick, with the 3 kids. She was funny, and could also "sang!"

And magic carpet kid? "Superstaaaah!" :lol:

I don't know about this season, but the seasons I auditioned that's exactly how they did it. Producers play a HUGE part in the AI process. They really want people with f*cked up stories or controversial stories and they take these people who can't sing worth a damn and "make" them sing these songs

Kelly Pickler is ADORABLE! I literally teared up a little after she made it & fell to her knees in the hallway.

And that singer's granddaughter gave me chills & goosebumps - that VOICE! So sophisticated, so rich. And I love that she sang a lesser known songs (the Dixie Chicks tune & The Bilie Holiday one), as opposed to everyone coming in & doing "Falling" or "I Believe I Can Fly" like usual. Good for her!

[Sorceress]

I can't wait to hear her sing again. She's phenomenal. I hope they show a lot of her once everyone gets to Hollywood.

This may be controversial, but I didn't like Kelly Pickler. She had a good voice, but I thought she was cheesy. I guess she reminded me of an even more backwoods, naive version Carrie, who I'm not very fond of.

[GypsySorcerer]

It was a real snooze last night. I wasn't really impressed with anyone who made it through, either. Just sort of a blah night. :shrug:

[SuzeQuze]

I can't believe how many people show up without ever having a vocal lesson. They're horrible!

[SapphireSister]

I thought the gray haired guy looked like he had turrets and should not have made it. On the other hand I can't believe the gondolier from the Venetian hotel didn't make it. I thought he had the voice of an angel! Other than that it was pretty boring last night. I didn't think those twins were so bad either. I felt sorry for them though - it seemed like their dad was going to be more upset with them for not getting through and that's why they were crying.

[SapphireSister]

I think a lot of the people who say they think they can sing don't really believe it. They are simply there for their 10 seconds of fame and national TV exposure. Sadly though there are some terrible ones who really think they are great. How is that possible? Don't they hear themselves?

Their harmony was right on and that isn't easy to do. I was surprised that they weren't given any credit for it. They were rather wooden though and that is not right for the competition. I think they deserved props for the harmony though. I also thought the gondoleir was good. He had an image issue though, he looked like he grabbed some clothes off of the floor and just showed up! Also, I think Paula may have forgotten to take her meds, she seemed uncharactaristically cruel last night.

On Edit: I liked turrets guy, he's like Joe Cocker. I had to look away from him to fully enjoy his voice at times. It really is a great sound, soulful.

Well, that big guy did not sing a single note in tune and insisted he did. :shrug: It was really bizarre! Then the woman who was like, "I'm conceited and I am excellent." I knew she was going to stink. She actually apologized to Simon for disappointing him! Maybe she did know, deep down, that she really stinks. :lol:

Yep, Joe Cocker!

AUSTIN TONIGHT!! Woot! :thumbsup:

[skcin]

^ Well, Austin sure sucked. Thanks, Livia! :wavey:

[Livia]

Hee-hee. Actually, about 30 people from the Austin auditions made it to Hollywood. Of course, it's more entertaining to show the ones who sucked. I, however, was kinda relieved that no one embarrassed our city too much. No "Wives of the Incredible Hulk" here. Those zombies were funny.

I kept laughing over the continuity editing - As you know, Simon, Paula and Randy don't appear at the cattle call audition. The Erwin Center is that big, drum-shaped building they showed at the beginning. Simon, et al, were at the Convention Center, or the new Hilton.

[JazmenFlowers]

I was pissed at the guy who couldn't figure out why he would be a good American Idol...they never even showed an audition...did he even audition...we don't know cause they never said...they strung us along for like 30 mins and then left us hanging...:mad:

[DavidMn]

Next up Boston. Josh, I'm sure you'll do us proud here.;)

[skcin]

In general, I'm happy with the final group. I can't say I'm upset that someone didn't get in, and I'm thrilled that those cocky twins are officially out! I heard that one or both was in jail, but I wasn't sure.

Early faves - Taylor, that 16 year old kid with glasses, the bald rock guy, Paris, Lisa & Kelly Pickler. I am NOT a fan of that annoying broad who was fighting with the other girl - the one who Simon said could be difficult. Annoying, she is.

That one girl, the one who supposedly told Simon off last week (she was sick, hoarse, whatev--not the full figured gal) is going to get on my nerves, I can just see it :rolleyes:. I'm all about Taylor, but he might want to tone down the spas routine juuuuuust a bit. Hopefully he'll work that out in future episodes.

just a reminder the show goes live tonight. I think the girls go tonight, guys tomorrow and then an elimination round Thursday.

Seacrest is working overtime.

[skcin]

Yes, it's girls tonight, then boys tomorrow. 2 HOURS each night! :eek: Yeah, like I have anything better to do. :rolleyes:

Little Stevie didn't do so well tonight. :( That girl that was on at the end it going to win, I think.

[SapphireSister]

Even though he COMPLETELY dissed her wasn't it fabulous to hear Simon keep saying "Stevie"? :laugh:

I was hoping during her intro she'd say something about being named after La Nicks and our girl being her musical inspiration but instead it's Josh Groban :rolleyes:. She's classically trained in opera, I'm not seeing a Nicks connection here. Maybe the mom just liked the name.

[SapphireSister]

Yeah, there's something going on there. Too much botox maybe?
Little Stevie didn't do so well tonight. :( That girl that was on at the end it going to win, I think.

Too bad though, you just can't help but want to root for the girl named Stevie.

[SapphireSister]

My favorite is Lisa, the 16 year old. She is phenomenal!

[Mageboy25]

Madisa, is that spelled right?? Well she out sang Ann Wilson on Never. Like it or not, she sang the song better than Ann ever has, or overdid it even more ever.

Ofourse no one agreed with me on the Heart board. Its against the Bible over there to post anything that’s negative and non ass kissing about Heart. People think deep down inside posting such honest thoughts might jeopardize their slim chances of meeting Ann & Nancy at a summer Meet & Greet. I love The Ledge! You do not get bashed for being honest. I love the Heart board to and all, but everyone is more honest and jovial over here.

Now im not just saying Never was awesome to be nice. I always thought Carrie Underwoods Alone was good, but nothing to get too excited about. She could never outdo Ann. I love Kelly Pickler to death, she’s my 2nd favorite. However she’s milking the "please feel sorry for me, my family life has always sucked card". But you know what, it will probably work. My family life has SUCKED for years. However I keep that to myself. I do not like people feeling sorry for me about personal matters. To each their own, go Kelly!

I can not stand that one stupid ass African American girl that was posing. She thinks that she is so funny for being a Diva, I CANT WAIT to see her go!!!!!! I have a feeling it wont be long either, maybe Thursday night if were lucky! Her performance of that Stevie Wonder song SUCKED!! Anyone could of duplicated what she did tonight.

I wish they would put the best 2 through each week, instead of sending the bottom 2 home. Im scared some people, as its been done in the past, may not vote for their favorites bc they think everyone else already has. Hopefully none of the good people will fall through the cracks.

OK-- my thoughts..

Mandisa kicked *ss. what a powerful voice.

Lisa the 16 yr old is amazing.

Paris is such a pip squeak, her speaking voice compared to her singing voice is a hoot. She's a good performer but her voice isn't as good as the two above.

Catherine also did really well; my daughter loves her.

I didn't like that dusky voiced chick, the one the judges seemed to rave about....what the heck was her name. Melissa? i thought she hit a lot of bad notes.

Kinnik reminded me of a drag queen....:eek:

Kelly Pickler was okay but not stunning. and everyone else sort of was so so IMO. Stevie was sort of pathetic. and Brenna sucked big time LOL, pose all you want sister, that doesn't make you sing any better. :lol:


I am rooting for Taylor tonight, and of course Ace, he is a hottie LOL.
-Lis

[cliffdweller]

Madisa, is that spelled right?? Well she out sang Ann Wilson on Never. Like it or not, she sang the song better than Ann ever has, or overdid it even more ever.



EEEEEEEEH Wrong. But she WAS good, and I give mad props to any singer that attempts a Heart song. It is hard to top (or even equal) Ann Wilson. I thought Carrie Underwood sang the sh*t out of Alone last year.

I can't stand Paris and yes, Kinnik was very, erm, masculine in the face, but I thought she sounded pretty good. Simon shouldn't have made those comments about her age. What an idiot. :rolleyes:

[JazmenFlowers]

well I enjoyed Mandisa, Kinnik, Kelly and Paris. They are my favorites, but I have to say I am really pulling for Mandisa and Paris.

That poor Stevie girl...what was she thinking?

[skcin]

Once again, a bunch of the girls blend together for me at the start of the season. Ayla, Heather, Stevie were all blah, I can tell them apart. :rolleyes:

Becky - sounded like she was pretending to sing. Did that just make sense to anyone? It was like me, belting something out in my car even though I have no clue how to actually sing. Ya know? :shrug: But she's hot, so she'll probably make it through this week.

Brenna - she can just go away now. Are you kidding me? "You Are the Sunshine of My Life?" Seriously? First of all, you want to WOW people, especially your first week & she did NOT. Secondly, that song kind of blows. Thirdly, her voice kind of blows. Fourthly, I just don't like the bitch.

Kinnik - Strange - I thought she was good at first, then I thought she wasn't, then I thought she was good again. She's OK, she can stay for a while.

My favorites:

Mandisa - kicked the **** out of "Never." I was so excited when she said that's what she'd be singing. Fantastic.

Pickler - brave for trying Martina, and I think she was great except those high notes: "How faaaaaar, do I have to go to make you understand..." That little lift in "understand" was funky every time.

Lisa - it appears this chick will be able to sing anything. Love her.

Melissa - She sang Faith, which is risky, but I thought she did really well. I was actually moved by her performance. I hope she doesn't get lost in the sea of "which girl with the long brown hair? There's like 4 of them."

Paris - what a little spitfire, what a performer, what a VOICE! "Midnight Train to Georgia" is one of my favorite songs ever, and she nailed it.

Katherine - Might be my favorite of the night along with Paris, I liked her a lot. Again, hope she doesn't get lost.

I voted for my 6 faves, the only ones I couldn't get through for by 10:40pm were Paris & Pickler.

I agree with every word of this.

The girl that sang When the Lights Go Down looked very odd to me for some reason.

[SapphireSister]

What were the names of the first girl and the last girl (mom is a voice coach)? Those 2 and Lisa were my favs.

[bikerchic]

Brenna - she can just go away now. Are you kidding me? "You Are the Sunshine of My Life?" Seriously?

Am I the only one who doesn't like Stevie Wonder songs?:shrug:

Did Paula Abdul look weird to you with her air pulled back like that? I thought I was watching Planet of the Apes.

no you're not the only one - I think they are used way too much

and I'm dying you said that about Paula. that bitch was high on something...no doubt about it. and the Planet of the Apes was the EXACT comment I made. who lied and told her that looked good?

[bikerchic]

As soon as he saw her, hub commented that she looked odd.

I'm telling you...if I had 1/3 of what that bitch has, I'd be high as a kite e'ry day.

I think she had smoked some wacky weed cause her eyes had that glossy look, yet the whites were tinted every which way but right.

ok, I've analyzed Cornelius too much

beckysucks imo

If Becky is the one who BUTCHERED "Because The Night" then, yes, she sucks. She sucks a big one. I mean, does she really expect us to believe that her parents bought her a Patti Smith album for Christmas when she was, what, like 10 years old?? Yeah right. That story was so full of bull**** I could smell it from here :rolleyes:

[BTFLCHLD]

paula has no business on that panel...
ive never seen such smoke blown up
these singers arse than last night...
tell it like it is paula...screw feelings.

OMG, my sentiments exactly. I hope she's voted off first, but I'm sure America will vote her through just to see "the claws come back out" next week :rolleyes:

that's good, but you must find a pic of her from last night. I swear...

I think she's on the chronic for pain.

Nice eye f*cking the camera by Ace. :laugh:

[goldie]

I'm not sure who to pick! Ace or Ace's brother? YO, DUDE! HOT!!!!! I think I will take BOTH!

[Patti]

^^What she said. Dayum. Both hot. Very hot. I want to smoke a cigarette after just looking at them hot. Wow.

[ThePenguin]

^^What she said. Dayum. Both hot. Very hot. I want to smoke a cigarette after just looking at them hot. Wow.


Totally agree (although i don't smoke.....they make me want to LOL.)


And oddly I wouldn't throw Taylor out of bed either. I am SO into white- haired guys, and he has a sweet face and a great voice also.

I knew those 2 guys would kick some serious butt.
To me everyone else was average (or worse), except for that bald guy who did the Bon Jovi song, he was amazing.
-Lis

[goldie]

^^What she said. Dayum. Both hot. Very hot. I want to smoke a cigarette after just looking at them hot. Wow.


yeah, I totally squealed with delight at the sight of both of them. Ace, baby, yes, you can be my father figure, daddy, whatever ...

I'm with you, Lis, about Taylor. I think he's sexy in a strange sort of way.

Chris Daughtry was the one that did Wanted Dead or Alive. It was probably my favorite performance of the night.

[Sorceress]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ace wins the whole enchilada. He and Taylor were my favorites tonight. Strangely, I got a kick out of Gedeon's performance. I like his voice a lot. I have really liked Chris so far, but I think he was just okay tonight. It was funny when Randy told him he was current because he sang Bon Jovi. :laugh:

Last night, I liked Katharine and Paris the best. Lisa can really sing, but there is something a little too polished about her. Something un-16 year old-ish that reminds me of one of those child performers who has always been told she is so talented and acts like a little adult. I dunno. Maybe I've been smoking some of Paula's chrionic. :confused: Oh, and I voted for Mandisa too.

Tomorrow night, Becky needs to go or I will throw my TV through the window. I couldn't believe they let her through to begin with. Yeah, she's beautiful, but please. In order to be in the final 24, you ought to be able to sing at least a LITTLE bit. Heather, Ayla, Stevie, Kinnik, Kellie, Brenna--any one of those can go too. For the guys, David and Bobby were the most annoying. Patrick could go too. Nothing special about him.

Can't wait for tomorrow night! I'm such a freak. I'd better go vote some more. :laugh:

[Sorceress]

Nice eye f*cking the camera by Ace. :laugh:

I thought he looked confused when he attempted it at the end of the song. Like a deer caught in the headlights. He got it right when Ryan asked him to do it again though. :laugh: Somehow I find Ace's eye f*cking much sexier than Constantine's last year.

[BTFLCHLD]

ok this is coming up cali time

sofar...
ace :thumbsup: :drool:
chris :thumbsup:

Thanks for giving me a good laugh tonight. Paula looked totally weird last night.

[cliffdweller]

Chris Daughtry was the one that did Wanted Dead or Alive. It was probably my favorite performance of the night.

Mine too :thumbsup:.

I laughed so hard I busted a gut over that Frank Sinatra guy's rendition of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." What WAS that? I seriously laughed so hard I cried.

Oh, and Copa Cabana dude will be saying "adios" I'm afraid. That was total fug.

[JazmenFlowers]

what y'all said...I can't even start thinking about last night again...whew...it's just too much lawd.

bye to copacobana and sweet little dude that sang that brian mcknight song

[cliffdweller]

bye to copacobana and sweet little dude that sang that brian mcknight song


You know what? I think America will vote that little guy through, remember Anthony Federov and John Stevens? There is some kind of goody-goody contingent out there voting these people through. Maybe Simon is right, it's the 80-90 year olds who are hard of hearing!

[wondergirl9847]

Who SHOULD go home after last night....David Radford and Bobby Bennett because David sucked so bad, I had to turn the TV down and I love crooners. It was painful. Bobby seems like a great guy, but singing is not something he needs to be doing.

My fave voice right now is Chris. Taylor is cool and different. I like Kevin, the lil pocket hobbit and I would like to hear Patrick do something better than Melissa Etheridge. Everyone hates Gedeon's smile, but I think it's gorgeous. I wish my teeth were that white and bright. He was fun last night and I loved that shirt he was wearing...gorgeous color!

Ace. I don't get the whoo-ha over this guy. Okay, he *might* be the best looking of this particular bunch, but he is not drool-worthy for me. He ain't ugly, but meh...average. Also, his voice is so damn thin. Too thin and breathy for me.

[skcin]

Somehow I find Ace's eye f*cking much sexier than Constantine's last year.


Constantine was always trying too hard. Ace doesn't have to try. :cool:

Ace: "I'll be your daddy..."
Me: "OK!"

Chris kicked ass last night, I loved it. Ace, Taylor & Elliot were close behind, and I didn't mind Gedeon OR Sway. I don't normally like it when guys sing a whole song falsetto, but he was actually good at it & in tune the whole time. So I say he stays.

Bobby was like a bad singer on a cruise ship. Bucky was trying to be all growly/gravelly, but it didn't work. David & Will are interchangeable, so who cares. Patrick killed me by ruining that Melissa tune. Kevin - eh, cute kid, decent voice, the song put me to sleep.

I voted after Project Runway last night, so 11pm EST. The only one I didn't get through for was Bucky. :shocked: I think Bobby & patrick will be out.

[BTFLCHLD]

I voted after Project Runway last night that show was a trip last night! :laugh:

was the entire 9 mins or whatever of him bawling shown
on the show? if so i missed that night...beyond hysterical!!
and what was that one chick on when she babbled about
arion or whatever? i wasnt even in the room and it felt awkward!
omg and that guy "i love you heidi" .... best season ever!

[DavidMn]

I thought Taylor was great!! he got my vote last night!:thumbsup:

[SapphireSister]

By FAR the best performance of the night was Chris Daughtry. What a voice! Ace is the best looking and is most definitely a star but doesn't have nearly the voice Chris has. Either could be the winner.

I also really liked the first guy but he didn't seem to be to popular.

Oh yes, annoying chick has to go! Stevie too, she really can't sing. Poor dear.

[DavidMn]

So It's miss Maaxim and Stevie that are outta here for the girls

[SapphireSister]

Stevie, the beauty queen, and Copa Cabana guy definitely deserved to go home but I loved Patrick! I can't beieve he was one of the first 2 boys to go. I'm so sad right now.

[cliffdweller]

Too bad Brenna's still with us :rolleyes:

I agree with those voted off this week.

Brenna will probably stay because of her retarded attitude (the CLAWWWWS are coming out- the way she says that offends me, and I'm originally from NY). I don't think she's that great of a singer.

I agreed with those who were sent home. Although, I wonder if maybe Patrick shouldn't have been able to stay over Kevin?

My favorites: <a href="http://www.idolonfox.com/contestants/">Taylor, Elliott, Chris, and Katharine. </a>.

I'm finally caught up on AI - I'd been DVR-ing and was a day behind until today - so I avoided this thread, until now...

Paula/Cornelius - BWAH!

Homo-cabana - Double BWAH!

Nerdy boy has a lisp! He's got a decent voice, but that LISP! It's like listening to Cindy Brady...

Chris has a great voice - but I'm surprised Simon didn't call his performance "Bon Jovi karaoke."

Ace - droooool!

I love Paris! And I love the San Fran girl whose mom is a vocal coach.
