American Idol: Top 12

[DavidMn]

Tom Keifer. :D Don't F with Cinderella David. They're one of the few "hair" bands that actually had some talent. Their more recent stuff is more blues oriented, and pretty good actually. They're great live.

Kip, though, go ahead & tear him up all you want. He's ick.I wanted to ask you something else about what that guy saud Paula. I dont follow idol that closely, has Ruben's career really gone nowhere since his first release?

A quick hair band story for all of you. About 5 years ago or so, my friend and I were eating at a downtown Minneapolis resturant and there was this guy sitting at the table next to us. I knew I recognized him, but I couldnt put a finger on it. Finally I figured it out, it was Steven Pearcy of Ratt. My one frined is a HUGE Ratt fan so after he was finished with his meal I politely asked him if I could have his autograph for my friend. He was very nice and did just that. My friend now has it hanging on his wall at home.

ITA!!! Kip = ewww. Tom = dude, you rock! I saw them back in the day and they were so good. :thumbsup:

Oh that's very true. However, I think also that there are certain people they want to see go all the way, and more or less foster their rise (with perhaps a FEW criticisms along the way but nothing major) so that they receive more votes than the others. It's so contrived!

Because... they're thin and pretty!

Round and round, what comes around goes around, I'll tell you why why... :thumbsup: The band is still together apparently but he is not in it and I heard he is a d*ck. Though apparently was nice on this occasion. :cool:

I saw them last YEAR and they were good! :laugh: Remember how Mark made me go to the "Rock Never Stops" tour?

David - they seem to have marketed Ruben as strictly R&B. I think he does OK, but you almost never hear him on Top 40 radio like you do Kelly or Clay. Fantasia - I hear a tune once in a while, but she's mainly R&B too. And they've obviously thrown Carrie straight into country.

These producers aren't dumb, they know what will sell & to what market.

I hung out with the band Cinderella- ha! I know it's one of those things that anyone could just SAY, but really- why would I brag about something like that? I had a friend who auditioned to be their drummer, so we got to hang with them- many years ago. They did get very blue-sy and I thought they were really talented.

You know who else is really great live? Slaughter. Seriously. I saw them a couple of years ago and they were great. The drummer is my one true love. He's still hot, btw.

I have been to hair band shows in the recent past too. :o I went to that Poison/Whomever else one. I think Ratt and someone else. Good times.

Q+PR/AMERICAN IDOL PRESS RELEASE

HOT FROM FOX…

IT’S A BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WHEN THE TOP 8 FINALISTS PERFORM THEIR FAVORITE QUEEN SONGS ON “AMERICAN IDOL” TUESDAY, APRIL 11, ON FOX


We will rock you when the AMERICAN IDOL Top 8 finalists perform their favorite songs by world-famous British rock band QUEEN on next week’s performance show, Tuesday, April 11 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape delayed) on FOX. Earlier this week, the finalists had a chance to perform their songs with the legendary band at the latest stop on QUEEN's current tour, which features Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers. Next Wednesday, after the finalists perform one of QUEEN’s hits, America's vote will be revealed and another one bites the dust on a special one-hour AMERICAN IDOL results show Wednesday, April 12 (8:30-9:32 PM ET Live/PT tape-delayed).

QUEEN came to popularity in the mid-1970s, topping the U.S. charts with singles such as "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites the Dust." They were rediscovered by a whole new generation of fans when "Bohemian Rhapsody," Freddie Mercury’s classic rock opus, was featured in the 1992 movie "Wayne's World," taking the song to the Top 10 for a second time. Their rock anthems "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" continue to be among the most-played tracks in America, both on the radio and at sports stadiums across the U.S., where they are heard over the loudspeaker at practically every major sporting event. In the UK, the band recently overtook the Beatles as the most successful band ever on the UK albums chart.

QUEEN has also influenced the world of musical theater, producing and writing with Ben Elton the hit rock musical “We Will Rock You.” The show is now approaching its fifth year in London’s West End and has spawned productions in Australia, Germany, Japan, Spain, Russia and Las Vegas, with an audience of over 5 million to-date.

QUEEN was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH, in 2001, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002, and the inaugural UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004, where they were given credit for “jumpstarting the video era.”

QUEEN, with Paul Rodgers taking over for the late, legendary Mercury, are currently in the midst of their first major U.S. tour together, the band's first tour of this country since 1982.

I have now lost respect for Mr.May & Taylor with their appearance on this crapfest of non-musical talent & instant stardom without the hard work.

Hey guys, Do not call yourself Queen anymore ok? Queen was/is/will always forever be Freddie Mercury (w/John Deacon on bass).

I have been to hair band shows in the recent past too. :o I went to that Poison/Whomever else one. I think Ratt and someone else. Good times.

I would rather listen to it than ANY American Idiotical Idol winners release...And I do!

I saw Ratt & Poison back in 1987...Too bad Joan Jett & the Blackhearts blew 'em both off the stage at that show.

Speaking of Ratt I found their 1983 self-titled EP on CD for $5.00...I could sell it easily on eBay for upwards of $70. For all the crap that was given to the Hollywood bands (I hate that hair-metal term) their music still brings top dollar over any of the other types of RECENT music in re-sale value.

As for Slaughter, Met 'em and thought Mark Slaughter & Dana Strum were the 2 biggest assholes (The other 2 members of Slaughter, the late Tim Kelly & Blas Elias, were however cool) I have ever met from the music world.

Brian "Gotta love the 666 number in my total posts" j.

I 100% agree with you Brian. Queen ended the day Freddie Mercury died. To call this latest incarnation Queen is a travesty. And having AI sing Freddie's songs is a joke. I'll be very surprised if the whole thing isn't awful.

if those ****-on-a-stick "contestants" can even think of one single Queen track lyrically without it being the usual songs such as "We Will Rock You" or "We Are the Champions"...Let's see these hacks try to sing "Innuendo", "Breakthru" or "Dragon Attack" (I can tell ya it will be awfully bad...Bad as in Robert Plant's butchering of "Innuendo" at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Show!!! That was a SEVERE travesty!)

[cliffdweller]

I saw Ratt & Poison back in 1987...Too bad Joan Jett & the Blackhearts blew 'em both off the stage at that show.

Awesome. Yeah, I saw J.J. two years ago at SXSW and she kicked major ass. She is so f'ing good live.

I just wish she'd lose the bleach blonde hair and go back to her "jet" black.

[cliffdweller]

I hung out with the band Cinderella- ha!


What were they like?

Paula, I agree, they were one of the few "hair metal" bands that had talent and good songs! I used to love that song "Gypsy Road," used to play it all the time!

So Brian, Blas is cool? Do you think he would like me if I weren't married??? LOL! :D

I was really young and insecure- felt totally intimidated, but we (the people *I* was with, not necessarily the band) did drugs and had a good time.

[estranged4life]

So Brian, Blas is cool? Do you think he would like me if I weren't married??? LOL! :D


but he was cool, Blas just waited around after the Tulsa concert for his parents to arrive then he left...

Btw, He (Blas) is no longer a band member of Slaughter, He is now an onstage drummer for the Blue Man Group.

[Mageboy25]

I saw Poison and those old school rock bands on tour in 2000 and 2001 3 times. To my suprise, besdies Poison, the BEST live band out of those was Quiet Riot. Not only did they play great live, the lead asshoole singer's vocals were amazing. I was shocked. Warrant was blaaaa, Slaughter so so, Cinderalla's vocals blaaa, but Quiet Riot rocked!

Okay, I didn't really love MS, just how he looked. :lol: Oh, but I did like the songs, just not necessarily him. Come to think of it I thought he looked like a jerk. I guess its the arrogance that came accross in the videos. Then again, he was hot so... :laugh:

They do rock, I saw them at Monster's of Rock in the 80s and they were a real stand out. You're right about those vocals, he's an excellent live singer. :thumbsup: Damn, I'm having flashbacks of when I got my new stereo and played my tapes in my room! Them were the days. ;)

Dude, seriously? QR was atrocious when I saw them last year, really really bad. Kevin Dubrow's (I think) vocals were OK, but I couldn't concentrate because I was distracted by his leopard print pant suit and the wig he was wearing. :shocked:

Cinderella, on the other hand, kicked ass. Maybe I just saw an off night for QR, or maybe they started sucking 4 years after you saw them. :shrug: Ratt was on the same bill (without Pearcy) and they may have been the worst band I've ever seen live, btw.

Sweet. Yeah, I can't imagine Poison being all that great, but dammit if I don't like C.C. DeVille! He is too f'ing funny, his personality takes up the whole room! He needs to stop the tanning though...have you seen him on the Surreal Life? Bleach blonde hair and fake tan = fug.

[DavidMn]

Isnt C.C Deville the one with the really scratchy voice? I havent seen the surreal life yet so I was wondering.

Paula Abdul Tells Police She Was Assaulted
Apr 06 8:00 PM US/Eastern

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/04/06/D8GQQN906.html

Police are investigating a report by "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul that a man assaulted her at a private party over the weekend.

On Tuesday, Abdul filed a report at the Hollywood station claiming she had been a victim of battery about 1 a.m. Sunday, police Lt. Paul Vernon said Thursday.

"According to Abdul, the man at the party argued with her, grabbed her by the arm and threw her against a wall," Vernon said. "She said she had sustained a concussion and spinal injuries."

Abdul provided police with the name of the man, but Vernon withheld it pending further investigation. The man had not been charged, Vernon said.

Abdul's publicist Michelle Bega declined to comment. The incident was first reported by Us Weekly.

Abdul, who shares judging duties on Fox's hit talent show with Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, appeared as scheduled on this week's "American Idol."

Last week, she signed a deal to remain on the show for another three years.

Advocate: Would you be comfortable performing or singing at a gay event?
Mandisa: I would not, no.

Would it conflict with your religious beliefs?
Based on what I believe, I'm not an advocate for [being gay], so it's nothing I would take part in.


Do you think that feeling contributed--along with your Web site profile--to some people not voting for you?
It's possible. Honestly, I'm not sure. I've heard a lot of different theories about what could have happened, and all of 'em sound pretty decent to me. So I just know I did my best and I tried to live my life in public the way I do in my personal life. You know, it was just my time and it could have contributed.


Do you think gay people can turn straight?
I don't really know. I honestly don't know much about it. I wouldn't be very knowledgeable to speak on that subject.

Good riddance, Mandisa!

Chris should do "Tie Your Mother Down" for Queen week! I adore that song...

Who will get the abbreviated version of "Bohemian Rhapsody?" Probably Ace, he can hit the falsetto. I wonder if Constantine will be jealous...

Taylor or Paris will probably do "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." Gag.

Our local rock station does a theme prom every spring at the Hyatt, and you have to dress up for the theme. Three years ago, it was 70's, two years ago, it was 80's, they hired Eddie Money to play for that. Last year, it was Pimps and Hos. One of Bob Schneider's many bands, The Scabs (funky!) played for that. This year it's the Hair Ball. They've hired Quiet Riot. Kinda the same as the 80's theme, but they want people to dress up more like rock stars from the 80's, with Aquanet being a major accessory. I've already got a room booked. :wavey:

Livia that party sounds totally fun! I just got my hair cut too so teasing it up would not be a problem. :lol: I love dressing up anyway, Halloween is the best. You are going to have such a blast.

If Ace does Bohemian Rhapsody I am going to vomit. But you may be right about that. I totally forgot about Tie Your Mother Down! My ex was in a band that did that song, it freaking rocks I agree. It is a complete sacrilege though that Idol is doing Queen songs. It is wrong on so many levels. And my pic and quote below have nothing to do with it, the quote has been rattling in my head for over a week and I had to get rid of Courtney. :eek: It is going to be interesting anyway.

No, but I read a story online (that I can't find now) about Bucky and his twin brother (Rocky?) filing a false police report and then attempting insurance fraud over a car accident a few years back.

Get your barf bags and earplugs ready for Queen tonight!

[cliffdweller]

Bucky and Rocky? :laugh: Are you serious. That is too funny!


I know! It may as well be Rocky and Bullwinkle :rolleyes:

Yeah, Queen week. I wonder how horribly the contestants will butcher the songs. I wonder what Pickle will sing....this is really out of her field of knowledge, but what isn't?

Noone better touch Under Pressure. I will be a very strict judge if they do :mad:

[GypsySorcerer]

According to USA Today, they'll be singing: (highlight for spoilers)



•Ace Young, We Will Rock You: ''I urbanized the verses a little, just by riding on (the notes). I put a little R&B soul on it. When we were done, they said, 'That sounds like a record.''


•Bucky Covington, Fat Bottomed Girls: ''Yes, we all love the fat-bottomed girls.''


•Chris Daughtry, Innuendo: ''It's a relatively unknown song. It just had a mixture of a dark feel and a positive message. And I just found out they've never performed this live.''


•Elliott Yamin, Somebody to Love: ''I was drawn to the passionate emotion of the song. I heard a lot of soul in it.''


•Katharine McPhee, Who Wants to Live Forever: ''How could (this) not be fun? We're working with so many different legends.''


•Kellie Pickler, Bohemian Rhapsody: ''We only have 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the song is really long. Having to cut so many pieces is really hard to memorize, because I'm not singing the song as it's originally played.''


•Paris Bennett, The Show Must Go On: ''Being with the band was a big experience to me, never being with a rock band before. I was able to pick a song that fits me, that's still rocky.''


•Taylor Hicks, Crazy Little Thing Called Love: ''You listen to a Queen song, it's really melodic and very powerful, and the dynamics (are) really cool.''

[DavidMn]

So anyway, whats the update? has anyone done good with the Queen songs? I havent been home to watch yet.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Elliot was the best tonight, IMO.. "Somebody To Love" is my all time favorite Queen song.. and although I was hoping Katharine would sing it.. I'm glad Elliot did and not anyone else.. he ROCKED IT! That white boy has some soul!

Although Katharine was a little pitchy in her song (it should have been taken down a 1/2 step).. I would say she was my second favorite..

Paris was my third favorite.. I LOVE "The Show Must Go On".. (Although I think of Moulin Rouge everytime I hear it now.. )

Kellie.. I was VERY shocked that she did that song well.. good for her..

Taylor.. I'm glad he switched songs and got back into his "dance" vibe.. wasn't my fav. but was still O.K.

Ace.. Boring and fake.

Bucky.. I thought he might go this week. but after seeing him perform tonight.. I'm not too sure.. He chose the right song and it worked well..

Chris.. picked THE WRONG SONG.. and he was doing some crazy "Stevie Nicks - goat-ish" thing with his voice.. and it didn't work well, IMO.. Wasn't the worst of the night.. but nowhere near the best.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

So who would be your pick to be gone based on what you saw?

That's tough to say.. this was really one of those nights where almost NO ONE sucked!

I would say Ace.. I'm hoping America is getting tired of his plastic looks and fake personality like I am.

[JazmenFlowers]

Elliot was the best tonight...
I actually agree with all of this...

...but another really yuck night. I'm not bowled over by any of them.

[Nixxxed]

Chris looked HOT in that eyeliner. HOT, I say.

HOT.

Ace's eyeliner? Notsomuch. If you already look semi-feminine (not that that's a bad thing), it's not for you.

And I still love Elliot the most - his voice just echoes in my head. I just wish he wouldn't Stevie Wonderize every song he sings, er siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings.

I think I'm going to send Kellie a copy of the Pink video. She really needs to see it.

That's NOT Stevie Wonderizing.. that's called SOUL!

And Chris' eyeliner was GAY! And not like good gay.. BAD GAY! :distress:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Good:

Elliot
Katharine


Ok:

Kellie
Chris (Whoa...that eyeliner was really BADDDDDDD)
Taylor (I want him in the bottom 3)

Bottom 3:

Ace
Paris
Bucky

[GypsySorcerer]

Eh.....I wasn't blown away by any of them. I do think Ace was the worst tonight. His performance was awful. I had to agree with Simon about Kellie looking freaky in the beginning of her song under that lighting. :eek:

[Beachwood Mac]

Eh.....I wasn't blown away by any of them. I do think Ace was the worst tonight. His performance was awful. I had to agree with Simon about Kellie looking feaky in the beginning of her song under that lighting. :eek:

Wasn't that the way the actual Queen video started?

[Mageboy25]

ACE is the biggest NELLY ASS QUEEN!!!! I hate gay people that try to act straight!

[cliffdweller]

Chris.. picked THE WRONG SONG.. and he was doing some crazy "Stevie Nicks - goat-ish" thing with his voice.. and it didn't work well, IMO.. Wasn't the worst of the night.. but nowhere near the best.

"goatish" :laugh:

I agree with this, I thought it was, as Simon said, self-indulgent and I think it's gonna hurt him in the voting that he chose such an unrecognizable song. That said, he'll probably still be safe. And what was with his eyeliner last night? Dude can't pull off make-up so he shouldn't even go there.

I thought Bucky's song worked too, my husband HATED it, but that's mainly because he hates that song and he hates Bucky's voice so :shrug:, but I thought it worked.

Taylor was ridiculous! Come on dude, stop acting like a clown already. I like it when he just sits there and sings and doesn't try to dance, because THAT? is horrific and sad :shocked:

I liked Paris too, Katherine was boring, and Pickler chose a song WAAAAAAAY out of her range. She and Ace chose songs that were too big for them---Ace can't sing and Kellie's vocal range can't handle B.R. that's all there is to it.

Elliott was GRRRRRRRRREAT! I thoroughly enjoyed him last night.

[GypsySorcerer]

Wasn't that the way the actual Queen video started?

That wasn't my complaint. It was more the way that Kellie's too-blonde hair looked like a shock of white under the lighting, with two raccoon eyes peeking out.

[cliffdweller]

It was more the way that Kellie's too-blonde hair looked like a shock of white under the lighting, with two raccoon eyes peeking out.

And there's that...

Ummm, yeeeaah, Kellie, the "Matrix" look is not for you dearie.

Did anyone else think her hair looked like C.C.DeVille's circa 1987? :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

And there's that...

Ummm, yeeeaah, Kellie, the "Matrix" look is not for you dearie.

Did anyone else think her hair looked like C.C.DeVille's circa 1987? :laugh:

Yes! I immediately thought of C.C. when she first came out on stage. :nod: :laugh:

[skcin]

Not a great week in general. Kellie was shockingly good, I thought. Loved Chris, hated the eyeliner. Paris & Taylor were pretty good too, Elliot was too.

I thought Katharine was off yet again. Bucky - no. Just no. Ace needs to leave right now. Right this second. Let's not wait any longer, people. Simon was right no here - it was karaoke. And it was really bad.

[cliffdweller]

Yes! I immediately thought of C.C. when she first came out on stage. :nod: :laugh:


:laugh: :laugh:

I loved her boots though. I was on the edge of my seat because I just KNEW she'd fall on her ass in those things but she worked it out and stayed up!

[Livia]

WHAT did I tell you? I KNEW Taylor would do that song...and f*ck it up royally...

Paris worked it out, I loved her performance. I liked the eyeliner on Chris, I thought he was fantastic, obsure song or not. Everyone needs to stop w/ the "arms wide open, Creed" pose. Bleech.

I remembered some of the "Tie Your Mother Down" lyrics and figured it wasn't PC for a primetime, family show (i.e., hit your little brother with a stick, it's alright). :lol: But Chris would have rocked it!

[cliffdweller]

WHAT did I tell you? I KNEW Taylor would do that song...and f*ck it up royally...

You DID say that didn't you? Nice prediction :thumbsup:

I liked the eyeliner on Chris

Imo, stubble and make-up never look good together :shocked: Also, it all looked rather slapdash. Pickle must've put it on him :laugh:


Everyone needs to stop w/ the "arms wide open, Creed" pose. Bleech.

:nod: agreed. Especially Ace. His contrived, boy-band moves are REALLY grating my nerves. But NOTHING takes the cake like Bucky's choreographed mic toss from hand to hand thing. STOP DOING THAT ALREADY! IT'S PLAYED!!!

[estranged4life]

Kellie Pickler is bold enough to sing a truncated 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

COMMENTARY
By By Craig Berman
MSNBC

Seriously, enough is enough. Whoever decides the theme for "American Idol" needs to go on the Internet and download music from bands that have been popular within the last two decades.

Already this season, the show has featured Barry Manilow and Kenny Rogers. This week, the signature act was Queen, a band that not only offered the late, great Freddie Mercury as the lead singer, but also a catalog of songs with enough chord changes and vocal stretches to make for a night of challenging performances.

Watching and listening to the remaining members of Queen interact with the "Idol" finalists didn't do anything to ease those fears. The band looked as if they were wondering how they had arrived at a stage in their career where they were sharing the stage with a bunch of people whose first exposure to their music was in "Wayne's World." And now those same Queen newbies were trying to switch around the band's arrangements to make them easier to sing. Could the potential new fan exposure really be worth the risk that Kellie Pickler would butcher "Bohemian Rhapsody," or Taylor Hicks would have a seizure in the middle of "Crazy Little Thing called Love"?

Those factors made this week look like a potential trainwreck, but it was a surprisingly entertaining effort. The contestants and the judges each deserve credit for that. The eight remaining finalists did a nice job with their song selections (even if Hicks and Katharine McPhee were unsure enough that they changed their mind late in the week), and kept their composure - despite the stylists' decision to make everyone look like Queen by giving them eye shadow and glam rock outfits. Thankfully, the judges seemed to grade on a curve.

Everyone had pitch problems, because every song had a ton of chord changes that made it hard to keep up, but Randy and Paula mentioned the flaws briefly and then moved on. It was a rare act of kindness, since Mercury was one of the premier rock vocalists in history and none of the eight "Idol" finalists are close to meeting that standard.

Bucky Covington, 28, Rockingham, N.C. : Covington dealt with the "Queen" issue by taking "Fat Bottomed Girls" and countrifying it. It worked out as well as could be expected. He was still drowned out by the music, as he is every week, but he looked comfortable out there. He received praise from the two judges who would not have to help produce his album if he wins.
Grade: B-
The judges: "You stayed true to who you are, and you made 'Fat Bottomed Girls' a country song." - Paula Abdul.
Stay or go: Who the heck knows? Covington's defied the odds thus far, and he sang pretty well. Maybe he can keep the magic going another week. But it doesn't help his chances that he was the first singer of the night and that most of the finalists sang well.

Ace Young, 25, Denver, Colo.: Since the Queen catalog isn't full of songs suitable for Young to cover, he decided to go with "We Will Rock You" and throw himself on the mercy of the sports fans who chant the lyrics at hockey games. The effort was there, but his vocals were a hodgepodge of styles that made the whole thing sound like a mess. He began with a bit of a British accent, changed the arrangement in the middle, and appeared to stumble on some of the words. Though he closed with a flourish, it was far from his best effort.

Grade: C-
The judges: "It was 'We Will Rock You' gently. I really really really really hated that. I'm sorry." - Simon Cowell.
Stay or go: Based on this week alone, Young is probably gone. But he clearly has a dedicated fan base, since he wasn't even among the bottom three last week. He'll need another dedicated effort from those supporters to stick around.

Kellie Pickler, 19, Albemarle, N.C.: Pickler decided to go with her 90-second version of the legendary "Bohemian Rhapsody." Anyone out there rolling their eyes and cringing at the thought of her attempting that song would be at one with the judges, the studio audience and everyone who loves music. But she did a credible job, and surprisingly was better doing the rock finale than the opening ballad. It was the first time she's looked comfortable singing anything besides country. Oh, and add the expression "it looked bad on paper" to the list of modern sayings Pickler has supposedly never heard before.
Grade: B+
The judges: "When I first heard today you were gonna do that song, I was worried. But I think you worked it out. I was entertained." - Randy Jackson.
Stay or go: Pickler hasn't been in the bottom three yet, and probably won't be this week either.

CONTINUED: Chris feels right at home with arena rock

Chris Daughtry, 26, McLeansville, N.C.: Anyone who likes Daughtry's signature style of shouting into the microphone like he's at a dive bar with a burned-out microphone had to be happy with his performance. Daughtry sang "Innuendo," a song that the band reportedly never performed live. It doesn't take a genius to realize that perhaps the reason for that is that the song isn't very good, but Daughtry did a nice job with it anyway. Considering he's the only one in the competition with anything resembling the persona needed to play arena rock, that's no surprise.
Grade: A
The judges: "I just think it's a shame that you didn't decide to entertain the audience at home with one of the great Queen songs, because you could have had a moment tonight." - Simon Cowell.
Stay or go: Daughtry should be safe.

Katharine McPhee, 21, Los Angeles: McPhee decided to change from "Don't Stop Me Now" to "Who Wants to Live Forever," a haunting ballad best known for being in "Highlander." The arrangement was strange at times, possibly due to some residual annoyance at having to tear up their work and start over so late in the week, but it was a great decision to go with the slower song. It allowed her to show off the power in her voice, which she did well enough to impress all three judges.
Grade: A-
The judges: "I love when I see an artist make a change to . change their mind. And you made the right decision." - Paula Abdul
Stay or go: Much like in "Highlander," at the end of this "Idol" season there can be only one. McPhee is doing her best to be that winner. She sang well enough to survive, although the fact that she's been in the bottom two already is cause for concern.

Elliott Yamin, 27, Richmond, Va.: Here are some of the jobs Elliott Yamin has had: Fast-food worker, corporate employee and a DJ on the air between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Does that make him a more sympathetic figure to vote for? After finishing with the second-fewest votes last week, he certainly hopes so. Yamin sang Queen's "Somebody to Love" well enough to earn increased support. He's the rare contestant who would benefit more from Paula's advice. His vocals are fine, but he still moves around onstage like a teenager afraid to look ridiculous - he won't move his feet unless the rotation of the earth forces him to.
Grade: B
The judges: "All in all, I loved you man. I thought it was really really good."- Randy Jackson.
Stay or go: Yamin is the hardest finalist to predict, because he sailed through the competition until he finished with the second-fewest number of votes last week. He should survive, but will probably be back in the bottom three again.

Talyor Hicks, 29, Birmingham, Ala.: Hicks joined McPhee in the ranks of contestants who annoyed all the musicians and background vocalists by changing his mind at the last minute. In his case, he went from "We Are the Champions" to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." After two weeks of standing around like a statue onstage, he felt like he needed to be entertaining. Simon asked him if he was drunk, but the switch was a smart one; he's not going to win this by being conventional, but by being the best entertainer. And his performance was definitely the most entertaining of the night.
Grade: A-
The judges: "I don't know whether we should give you a record deal or a straitjacket." - Paula Abdul
Stay or go: Hicks is safe. Crazy, but safe.

Paris Bennett, 17, Fayetteville, Ga.: Bennett sang "The Show Must Go On," one of Queen's signature songs as Freddie Mercury's health deteriorated. She did fine, although there's no getting around the fact that she's a teenager singing a style of music that's way outside her comfort zone. She'll be happier when the show goes back to featuring actual pop music themes instead of '70s rock.
Grade: B+
The judges: "I found it all a little weird." - Simon Cowell.
Stay or go: Bennett was in the bottom three last week, and may wind up there again. But she's unlikely to be the one voted off.

------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion, if Freddie's remains werent cremated and spread at Lake Geneva, Switzerland, I am sure you could clearly hear his body turning over in a grave!

[JazmenFlowers]

I thought Katharine was off yet again.
I know. I don't get it. the girl is so sharp during most of her songs it makes me wonder. when she goes into her higher register it is almost screeching. at first, I thought she was going to do the Sarah Brightman version of this song, but then I realized she wasn't, which is a good thing.

[Sorceress]

Eh.....I wasn't blown away by any of them. I do think Ace was the worst tonight. His performance was awful. I had to agree with Simon about Kellie looking freaky in the beginning of her song under that lighting. :eek:

Ew, for sure about both Kellie and Ace. All in all, no one was as bad as I feared they all would be this week. I thought Elliot was the best, though when I voted for him I got through right away, which worries me.

The best:
Elliot
Katharine
Taylor

Not so bad:
Paris
Kellie

Pretty bad:
Chris (just because of his AWFUL song choice). And I liked his eyeliner.
Bucky

Needs to go home NOW:
Ace

[SuzeQuze]

You'll only hear about that in the event Paula has a certain appendage....:laugh:

She may have that but definitely no juevos to go along with it. :shocked:

I was definitely surprised that everyone did a decent job on these songs. I thought it was going to be abysmal.

Simon is a jackass.

I totally missed the eyeliner on the guys, how? I must not have been looking at their eyes. Lol! I liked Pickler's rocker look but I missed the performance so I only saw the clip. I'm impressed she pulled that song off but I still can't stand her ditsiness.

I'm with the Ace gone crowd. He's not very talented and he is fake which, by now, has completely eclipsed his looks which I no longer see. Buh bye.

I thought Paris looked great in her rocker outfit too. I'm surprised Simon didn't say something about that but I guess he didn't like it. He was so mean, his comment didn't do her performance any justice. :mad:

Paula is insane. Sit down already and behave like a judge! :lol:

[wondergirl9847]

Katherine... was so off, it was painful.

Ace..sucks...since day freakin' one. Also, him asking them to change the song to fit him. LMAO!!

Chris...didn't like this performance. Sorry.

Paris...that's my fave Queen song, and she fricked it up. Bleck.

Taylor....I thought he was fun. Most entertaining to watch, that's for sure.

Pickle....W...T...H?

Elliot...I liked it!

Bucky...Hee!! Fat-Bottomed Girls!

[DavidMn]

I'm going with Ace to get the steel toed boot this evening, although Chris better watch it or he'll be next if he keeps that up.

[cliffdweller]

I thought Paris looked great in her rocker outfit too. I'm surprised Simon didn't say something about that but I guess he didn't like it.


He kinda did, he said that the whole thing was just "weird." :laugh: I assume he meant the whole package: performance, song choice, outfit, etc :shrug:.

[bikerchic]

Since I don't get to vote, I think this was the best performance of all.

I don't see what is so bad about that? :shrug: It just seems kind of stupid and rehearsed. What is her deal though- didn't she once say she had some kind of nerve disorder or something???

[bikerchic]

Other then being drunk/high? She doesn't seem like someone who has a spinal injury. But then again I'm not a doctor. And yes, she does have a nerve disorder, I just forget what it's called. It's like watching a train wreck.

[bikerchic]

Oh Pauler, what are we going to do with you? :distress:

http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/66939.htm

[cliffdweller]

Bye, bye, Bucky, bye, bye....

I guess it had to happen, now it's Ace's turn. Please people, get rid of Ace!

Some of those bios last night had me tearing up!

[Patti]

I was glad to see Bucky go, but I'll kind of miss Ace when it's his time. I thought I was over his pretty boy looks, but I really enjoyed looking at his arms last night.:nod: I do think he has overstayed his welcome though. And Paris can leave just anytime as well. I'm nauseated every time she says "thank you" in that baby girl voice.

Oh and how classless was Pickler going on and on about the "snot rag"? Oy!

[cliffdweller]

Oh and how classless was Pickler going on and on about the "snot rag"? Oy!

Ugh. Pickler. We also learned last night that she doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "too much information" :rolleyes:. What DOES she know? Maybe we should start there. She can go just because she's a dingbat.

[wondergirl9847]

Oh and how classless was Pickler going on and on about the "snot rag"? Oy!

Didn't watch but the last minute of the show to see who was going, but she talked about a snot rag? LMAO!! The fact she even used that term....total Southerner. I grew up hearing my mom call them that. :laugh:

I was sad to see Bucky go actually. I think he's a genuinely nice guy and has talent, not quite his time to go I didn't think, but like he said, someone's got to go. I'm like you, I like looking at Ace, but he's just not up to par. with respect to Paris, I don't like her speaking voice (not that she can really help that), but I find it endearing that she takes the judges' criticisms and just says thank you. I also think she's mucho talented.

and something I noticed about Pickler...that's how she's staying in...by drawing so much attention to her personality (fake or not). she's so good at that, she'd give Samantha Jones a run for her PR money.

I agree with all of this, except I never found Ace to be all that good looking :sorry:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I agree with all of this, except I never found Ace to be all that good looking :sorry:

Me either. He's in a constant stare.....very plastic looking....and his nose? Ugh.....and his matted hair.

[wondergirl9847]

I don't think he's anything special either. His voice is thin and forgettable too.

[Patti]

But, but....Ace has really nice arms! Doesn't that mean anything to anyone but me????? :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

But, but....Ace has really nice arms! Doesn't that mean anything to anyone but me????? :laugh:


:laugh:

I think they're too white :sorry: :laugh:

Curtis, "matted hair" :laugh: He's always f*cking with it too, drives me nuts! And that fake smile...yeesh :rolleyes:

[Sorceress]

But, but....Ace has really nice arms! Doesn't that mean anything to anyone but me????? :laugh:


Um, no. :laugh: If he had any talent, then maybe. ;) I did think his brothers talking about how mean they were to him was funny though.
I'll kind of miss Bucky, but if it couldn't be Ace, I'm glad he went instead of Elliot. Now if we could just get rid of Snot Rag Pickler...

[DavidMn]

I'm thinking now that I dont want Paris to win because doesnt her grrandmother have great music business connections? And with Paris getting as far as she has, I have no doubt that she'll be able to get some sort of recording contract. There are others that I'm sure need to win more.

yes. the great Ann Nesby. she is fierce. I've loved her for a while.

not quite sure how I feel about your Paris idea tho. I'm kinda torn...gotta think on it.

[bikerchic]

I now have a soft spot for Elliot, since finding out about his diabetes. I know it's the wrong reason to like him but that hit close to home (my 16 year old has it). I know what his life is like living with that disease and how his mom must feel. Besides, I'm not voting :)

My great aunt had diabetes for 10 years before she died, and I made her needles up every day. I remember she took Humulin N.

[Mageboy25]

Kelly is my favorite. That was a total Lita Ford Kiss Me Deadly video moment when Kelly got down on her knees and up real fast. She arouses my queer ass.

I HATE closet case queers like Ace trying to act straight. Will someone please stick the cane out on stage with the hook on it.

:laugh: :laugh: funny visual!

[skcin]

Eh. :shrug: I would have rather seen ACE go after that sickening verion of "We Will Rock You," but it's not like Bucky had a real chance to win, IMO.

I'm thinking Kellie & Chris will definitely be in the top 3 or 4, not sure about the others. Katharine is great, but not consistent. Elliot has a gorgeous voice, but I've heard many people don't like it. Taylor & Paris are always possibilities too. Ace doesn't have a chance in hell.

If it does come down to kellie & Chris, I think Chris would win. They already have Carrie Underwood for their country blondie. I mean, I hate to think that it's fixed, but you have to wonder. Winners were (excuse my generalizations) white pop/rock girl, then black R&B guy, then black R&B chick, then white country gal. We still don't have white rocker dude. :p Idol is all about marketing, and the more markets they cover, the better.

...totally...

:laugh: damnit...I haven't said that in so long I thought I was totally over using "totally" - but I guess old habits die hard

[Brwn_eyes0511]

My thoughts..

Chris - I usually am not a big fan of his.. and probably will never be.. he just isn't my cup of tea! However.. tonight I have to say he did a fantastic job..

Paris - AMAZING! I wanted to light up a cig., pour some wine, put on a tux and head out for a night of fun at the Coconut Grove in 1958.. just great.

Taylor - Started out a tad boring but he really nailed it at the end.. this guy has soul!

Elliot - I have to say I wasn't that impressed with his performance.. he did OK.. the vocals were there but it just came off as a tad boring.

Kellie - I LOVE LOVE LOVE "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" but boy oh boy did she screw this one up.. But I do have to give her credit for trying AND for KNOWING that she messed it up.

Ace - He sang one of my favorite songs.. EVER! "That's All" was perfected by my fav. singer Judy Garland in 1963.. so IMO anyone else's version will not even come close.. and his really just didn't "go there" for me.. That said, he did do much better than he has in a long while.. He is still fake and plastic to me.

Katharine - Glad they saved my girl for the end.. PERFECTION! She did this song justice.. and just was leaps and bounds better than everyone else tonight! And might I add.. this girl has a flawless complexion.. and I have High Definition TV.. so I see it all! ;)


..overall this was the best night so far.. and this type of music is one of my favs. so I could be a bit biased! :)

[seeker007nmss]

ummm.... I have never seen the show. :shrug:

[Patti]

I really enjoyed the show tonight. I like the standards and I thought they did a great job overall. Well except for Pickler. She sucked. I do think Ace will probably go. Taylor's ending was the highlight of the show for me. That was awesome! I've been trying to get some votes in for Elliott, but haven't been able to get through.

[BTFLCHLD]

chris' pants were way too tight :D and ace sucks

[CelticGypsy]

Chris did a good job. Taylor is my favorite so far. He really did a great ending of that song. I was getting a little worried in the beginning:distress: but I love Taylor:xoxo: LOVED Paris. She can sing:xoxo: for such a little girl. LOVED Katherine and she was the perfect one to end the show. She is great.

Pickler can GO HOME tomorrow.............PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE:blob1: :blob2: :lol: Even Rod Stewart could see right through her DUMB country girl ACT and if any man on earth knows a dumb, blonde, flakey girl......it is definitely Rod Stewart:lol: :laugh: Rod and Penny's baby is very cute by the way.

[Mageboy25]

Kelly wasnt that bad. I hope someone gives her a real talk not to doubt herself on TV. Thats why everyone thinks shes bad, bc she called it 1st. Do what you know, and fake the rest.

[GypsySorcerer]

This was one of the better weeks. Can Pickler please leave now? I guess we learned last night that she forgot lyrics and words are one in the same. :rolleyes:

Bottom three: Ace, Pickler, Elliott

[jannieC]

Kelly wasnt that bad. I hope someone gives her a real talk not to doubt herself on TV. Thats why everyone thinks shes bad, bc she called it 1st. Do what you know, and fake the rest.


I thought she really was that bad. She went completely out of key and basically wrecked the song. But I thought that <i>before</i> she acknowledged her badness. I do give her credit for admitting how horrible she was. Anyway, she's in no danger of being voted off, in spite of the fact that hers was the worst performance of the night.

This may be a first, folks - I completely agree with Brandon! :p

I was able to get through for Kellie, Ace & Elliot within a half hour, but the rest I couldn't get through for the rest of the night! :eek: So I agree, the best bet for the bottom 3 is Ace, Elliot & Kellie.

I think Kellie may go. She was truly bad last night - out of tune & not in time with the music. She really does deserve to go this time.

[Patti]

Interesting. I couldn't get through for Elliott until about an hour after the voting started. I don't think he'll win the whole thing, but I'm not ready for him to go yet. Pickler should definitely go, but at the least I would love to see her in the bottom 3.

[cliffdweller]

I hope someone gives her a real talk not to doubt herself on TV. Thats why everyone thinks shes bad, bc she called it 1st.


Yup, and the votes will probably reflect that tonight. I bet she'll still be safe though.

I wasn't home last night so I taped the show. When I got back to watch it, I got mid-way through and then the stupid electrical storm we had last night knocked the power out so I didn't get to see the rest of it! ARGH! :mad: What I did see I wasn't all that jazzed about. I'm not a big fan of "the standards" so nothing really grabbed me.

[Sorceress]

I agree with your bottom three prediction, but I don't think Kellie will go though she most definitely deserves it. Maybe she is now courting the votefortheworst.com vote to ensure that she stays around to stink up the joint for as long as possible!

Ace looked great in his suit (from the neck down, that is), but his hair looked so slimey. Ew.

I tried to vote for Katharine, Paris and Taylor (though his performance was totally dull until it got really good at the end). I could only get through once for Katharine before I gave up. I couldn't get through for Paris or Taylor at all.

Chris was not that special to me, though I appreciated that he wasn't screaming at us or channeling Live for once.

I think it will be Elliot who leaves tonight.

[cliffdweller]

I think it will be Elliot who leaves tonight.

Unfortunately, I agree. I think it's so WRONG though, because Elliott can actually sing and Ace can barely hold a note correctly. I am so sick of Ace!! Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll be voted off, but the chances don't look good :distress:

[goldie]

I am embarrassed. I didn't call in at all last night. :o

I do not want Elliott to go! Or even Ace! I want to hear more falsetto from Ace. Kellie can go.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Ace: "It's my time now"

Me: "No it ain't bitch, they just cut you off"

goodbye fake, plastic "straight" boy

[Mageboy25]

BYE BYE ACE!!!!

We need Scandal to perform Good Bye To You Queen in your honor!

[GypsySorcerer]

Bye bye, Ace!!!

Pickler should have been in the bottom three. :mad:

[cliffdweller]

Pickler should have been in the bottom three. :mad:

:nod: I think this proves she's untouchable now.

I'm so glad Elliott wasn't voted off, he wasn't even in the bottom three! Yay!

I can't believe Chris was in the bottom three :eek: :confused:

Glad to see Ace go. Don't let the door hit ya, I say.

[skcin]

I'm thinking this thing is fixed more & more. How is it that I couldn't get through for Chris or Paris for 2&1/2 hours and they ended up in the bottom 3? And I got through for Elliot right away, but he was safe? I guess the west coast reeeeeeaaallllyyy like Elliot? Hmmmmm...

Not that I'm complaining, Ace drove me nuts, I'm glad he's out. :nod:

Next week is "greatest love songs" with Andrea Bocelli (sp). Um, OK.

[cliffdweller]

I thought that at first too, but now I think this might be a good show. I can think of a lot of good love songs, but thing is, are they going to sing them or just do a bunch of crap? :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

I'm with Tracye. I think next week's theme has the potential to be as good as the "standards" theme was this week, or it could be an utter nightmare.

The thing that is interesting about this season is the lack of a frontrunner. Last season, it was fairly obvious from week two onward that Carrie was going to win. Just like it was obvious that Clay and Rueben were going to be the final two from their season.

I do think they are really pushing Katharine. I just don't like her. :sorry: I find her attempts at humility quite unconvincing.

Interesting post Krista. And I agree with the frontrunner thing. I can see many potential frontrunners: Chris, Kellie, Katharine, and Paris mainly. I'm starting to think though, that Taylor actually has a shot too! He's never been in the bottom three, or at least not lately and everyone seems to LOOOOVE him. I do think Elliott's days are numbered, but not because he can't sing--he totally can! I just think that his looks and lack of stage presence are going to hurt him in the end.

I used to like Katherine a lot more than I do now. I think she has a technically proficient voice, it's beautiful, but she has no personality and she tends to sing REALLY boring songs. She can't rock and that bothers me. I ultimately go for the rock-tinged voices and look for interesting and/or unique qualities in the contestants and Katharine ain't it. I think Chris is interesting and a great rock singer, so I'm kind of leaning in his direction. He just needs to stop channeling Creed and Live and get his own kind of vibe going. I think he's trying to do that though, his "standards" performance was a step in a new direction.

The two who are most vulnerable to me are Paris and Elliott. It just doesn't appear as though they are connecting with the audience. Taylor has a pretty good following it seems, so he might be a dark horse. Ultimately, I think it will be between Chris, Katharine, and Kellie.

Chris is my personal pick. I looooooooove his voice.

[skcin]

I don't think the contestants will be bad, but I would have rather a more upbeat rockin' show this week, since they just did standards.

Yeah, I see your point. But just think of some of the spine-tingling performances we could get! Again, that is, if they pick good songs :rolleyes:.

Ryan mentioned something about 70's rock being a good theme for next year and I was like, hell yes it is! They should do that THIS season.

I'm not sad that I was wrong about my pick to leave last night. Elliot certainly deserved to stay around more than Ace did.
I agree that Paris is very vulnerable at this point. She has consistently been in the bottom three, even when she does well. But who the hell knows? The bottom three was not at all what I would have expected. Maybe it IS fixed. Or maybe people are voting to save people they liked who were in the bottom three the previous week, and it keeps changing up because people then don't vote for the ones they think are safe (like Chris).

[DavidMn]

BYE BYE ACE!!!!

We need Scandal to perform Good Bye To You Queen in your honor!
Didn't Scandal do that song I Am The Warrior or something like that?>

[DavidMn]

I will say this, I think that some of the people that have been celebrity guests this year have given the show more credibility amongst those who thought it was nothing more than ****. Andrea Bocelli this coming week is a good example.

[skcin]

Yes. Scandal feat. Patty Smyth did "The Warrior." Which I rock at when I do karaoke, btw. :laugh:

[jannieC]

Or maybe people are voting to save people they liked who were in the bottom three the previous week, and it keeps changing up because people then don't vote for the ones they think are safe (like Chris).

That's exactly what I was thinking. I personally think Chris will win, so I tried to vote for Elliott and Taylor. Not because I want them to win but because I want them to stay on the show longer. Gah, I guess at this point you REALLY need to vote for who you want to win and not the underdogs!

[Sorceress]

Gah, I guess at this point you REALLY need to vote for who you want to win and not the underdogs!

My problem is that I don't KNOW who I really want to win. This year I have no clear favorite. I like Katharine, Paris, Chris and Taylor all for different reasons. Even Elliot isn't so bad. But there are reasons to DISlike each of them too. Because I don't have a favorite, I've been voting based on how I liked their performance that week, and on who I think is the underdog and I want to stay around longer. Maybe I'll have to rethink my strategy.:laugh:

[Tango]

I'm thinking this thing is fixed more & more. How is it that I couldn't get through for Chris or Paris for 2&1/2 hours and they ended up in the bottom 3? And I got through for Elliot right away, but he was safe? I guess the west coast reeeeeeaaallllyyy like Elliot? Hmmmmm...

The phone calling might not be the reason Kellie is doing so well. Apparently there is a "bank" of people that are getting to text message for her for free as long as they vote for HER in her home town. Text messages seem to go through while your phone calls can't.

I forgot about text messaging. Good point.

Yes. Scandal feat. Patty Smyth did "The Warrior."

"Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang bang
I am the warrior"

I love that song. :thumbsup:

[ontheEdgeof17]

I hate this season, mainly due to song choices. I mean, come on! We just finished the "American Songbook" aka SLOW, BORING SONGS....and now we are headed into Love Songs. Pick better themes, producers....these suck and are boring to watch.

I don't care who wins. I am glad plastic (f)ace is gone. :blob2:

[jannieC]

I don't care who wins. I am glad plastic (f)ace is gone. :blob2:

:laugh: Good one!!!

I don't really have a favorite this year either. And I agree about the song/genre choices. B-o-r-i-n-g.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

My thougts...

BUT, before I get started.. everyone raise their hand ( :wavey: ) if they think David Foster isn't all that sure of what he is doing..

ok..

Katharine - Fantastic. (the judges are smoking crack! well.. at least Paula.. And I might add that Katharine was VERY Mariah tonight.. from the hair to the clothes.. to even the boobs..)

Elliot - Amazing.

Kellie - The worst. (She is NOT Leann Rimes, so she needs to get off it)

Paris - Oversang. (No one can sing this song like Barbra.. anyone else who tries.. it just comes off as boring)

Taylor - Boring.

Chris - Good. (I suppose I'm just not a huge fan of male vocalists)

[JazmenFlowers]

My thougts...
I agree with what you say with 2 exceptions:

1 - Katharine was a little too flat for my taste
2 - Paris did oversing it a bit (and I see her trying to copy Gladys Knight's live version a little too) but girl worked it out (and of course I agree with your Barbra comment)

[GypsySorcerer]

What an awful week. Pickler was the worst, again. :eek: Even though Paris was decent tonight, I really think she could go. She just doesn't seem to have that much of a following.

[Mageboy25]

Tonight SUCKED! Can we PLEASE get back to a more modern format.

Paris was HORRIBLE! Sounded like some old dead donkey gargeling rocks.

[ThePenguin]

Kelli was awful.

Paris did oversing quite a bit, and watta farty song.

Elliot sounded ok but i can't get past the looks.

Taylor started off bad but i thought by the end he loosened up and got better; plus he looked really hot.

Kat sounded okay, she's no whitney houston though.

I liked Chris the best; he did a beautiful job.

-Lis

[iamstevienicks]

Who is left now?

[skcin]

Who is left now?


Chris (bald rocker guy), Taylor (gray haired guy), Elliot (short guy with bad teeth), Kellie (blond ditz), Katharine (tall gorgeous brunette), Paris (short girl with squeaky speaking voice but mature singing voice.)

I thought Chris & Elliot were best, Kellie was worst.

I called for everyone 30 minutes after the show ended on the East coast. I immediately was able to get through on BOTH of Kellie's lines, as well as one of Kat's. I actually voted at about 10pm, and was able to get votes in for Chris and Elliot, but it was busy much of the time & I had to keep trying back.

[cliffdweller]

I thought Chris & Elliot were best, Kellie was worst.

Yup :nod:

Paris DID oversing, Katherine WAS flat, and the beginning of Taylor's song sounded like he was talking into the mic. He did good at the end, but the beginning was painful.

Chris was fabulous! I hope he wins the whole thing.

[jannieC]

My Amrerican Idol Two Cents:


BORING!

Katherine- I thought the judges were really harsh on her. I think she sounded and looked great. Just because she's not as good as Wetney doesn't mean she shouldn't sing one of her songs. And my husband was so happy that she finally showed a little boobage.

Elliott- Fabulous. I do love him. He has SUCH a great voice.

Kellie- Suck. Seriously, the girl cannot sing. And my God, her hair! She simply does not deserve to be in the competition anymore- she is not holding up here when it's getting serious.

Paris- I don't love her to begin with, but I thought she totally sucked with her oversinging (agreed with the judges on this one). And to top it off, she f*cked up the lyrics. Just a little, but she f*cked up my favorite line of the song. She sang, "What's <b>so</b> painful to remember..." instead of "What's <b>too</b> painful...". Bad, very bad. I don't like the way she pronounces certain words when she sings, either. I almost dislike her enough to wish she'd go home before Kellie.

Taylor- I was concerned at first, but I swear I think he pulled it together at the middle/end. I LOVE his voice. I don't think he's totally perfected it, but it's very raw and real to me, and I love it.

Chris- So-so. Not a Bryan Adams fan though, and didn't like the song. Maybe he was better than I thought.

I thought the producer guy was great with the singers. He was harsh, but damn- isn't the music industry a harsh place? He was the first guest who didn't GUSH all over the contestants and I actually liked that.

[skcin]

I almost forgot to mention! This was one of the best examples of Paula's f*cked-upness. Simon laughing at her crying was awesome.

"You...move...me...Elliot...you've always...moved me..." :lol:

[jannieC]

I almost forgot to mention! This was one of the best examples of Paula's f*cked-upness. Simon laughing at her crying was awesome.

"You...move...me...Elliot...you've always...moved me..." :lol:
That *was* funny! And it was funny when Ryan called her Mr Mc Phee! :lol:

[cliffdweller]

I almost forgot to mention! This was one of the best examples of Paula's f*cked-upness. Simon laughing at her crying was awesome.

"You...move...me...Elliot...you've always...moved me..." :lol:


Or how about when she stood up and started half rapping to, I can't remember who it was, (Chris?) something about we love you/I love you/ well all love you/we.love.you, or something like that? Damn! I can't remember exactly what she said, but she was standing up and gesticulating wildly like Anthony Kiedis from The Red Hot Chili Peppers :laugh:. My husband and I re-wound that like 5 times cracking up.

Also, who else thinks Paris looks like Gary Coleman? Dude, she does...

[JazmenFlowers]

And to top it off, she f*cked up the lyrics. Just a little, but she f*cked up my favorite line of the song. She sang, "What's <b>so</b> painful to remember..." instead of "What's <b>too</b> painful...". Bad, very bad.
if you've ever heard Gladys Knight sing this song you know why she changed the words...as per my previous post, I think she went a little overboard trying to mimic GK. I like Paris...I love her phrasing and I thought she did a good job, but I'm never impressed with that kind of thing and she did oversing. What was up with the last note. I thought she was hacking up a hairball.

other items of note:

am I the only one who noticed Katharine's lowcut panties were a tad too tight...you could see where they cut into her hips.

am I the only one who heard Chris straining during the "tenderness" and "treat her right" parts? he was the best by far last night to me, but he wasn't exactly flawless.

and WTF was the purpose of having Andrea Bocelli on the show - what the hell did he do? sheesh. this show is a joke.

OMG! SCANDAL! :laugh:

Seacrest: I'm not speaking to Abdul
But 'Idol' judge Paula says there's 'nothing but love'

Wednesday, April 26, 2006; Posted: 8:44 a.m. EDT (12:44 GMT)


NEW YORK (AP) -- "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest says he and judge Paula Abdul aren't speaking to one another, but Abdul calls reports of a feud "ridiculous."

Seacrest told People magazine last week that his relationship with Abdul was "awkward."

"I don't know what the deal is. It's very awkward," he was quoted as saying.

The 31-year-old Seacrest, who openly spars with "Idol" judge Simon Cowell, told the magazine: "Simon and I go back and forth with each other, but it's in a different way."

Asked if he was speaking to Abdul, Seacrest answered, "No."

Seacrest also said he hadn't talked to Abdul about the apparent rift.

"You know, I walked past her dressing room the other day and there was a group of people gathered in front of the door, so I can't even talk to her," he said.

Abdul dismissed reports of off-camera animosity in a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press.

"Reports of a feud are ridiculous," the 43-year-old former pop star said. "We are one funny dysfunctional family. There's nothing but love."

Any tension between the "Idol" host and judge might have come after their separate appearances on "The Tonight Show."

In Seacrest's March 30 guest spot, host Jay Leno joked about Abdul's "loopy" behavior in an "Idol" episode, to which Seacrest replied: "Well, have you listened to her album?"

And when Leno playfully asked whether Abdul had been drinking alcohol, Seacrest said, "Hey look, I don't look in their cups to see what's sitting before them on that table. But at times I feel like we have reeled her in."

During her April 10 appearance, Abdul shot down rumors that Seacrest was dating "Desperate Housewives" star Teri Hatcher.

"He only kisses the mirror," Abdul said. "And honestly, do you think Teri Hatcher is that desperate of a housewife?"

oh yeah, me too. I just think that in those 2 instances it's not the same "flawed & rough" that we (or maybe just me) like...it's examples of how he has a tendency to oversing...as many people do...I should've been more clear. but he was still the best.

[JazmenFlowers]

OMG! :eek: I turned to my husband during her perfomance and said that she sounds a lot like Gladys Knight and I didn't even know Gladys Knight did that song! Weird.
I'll have to see if I have an mp3 and I'll post it.

[jannieC]

if you've ever heard Gladys Knight sing this song you know why she changed the words...as per my previous post, I think she went a little overboard trying to mimic GK.
Well okay, that explains it. Because to me, it seemed awfully blasphemous to change Bab's words.

"Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang bang
I am the warrior"

I love that song. :thumbsup:It does have a bit of unfortunate history accociated with it though. Back in 1984 when this nut job shot up a McDonalds in San Ysidro California he was listening to that song on his walkman as he shot all the people.:shocked:

[DavidMn]

I love Pickles,(espicially Claussen's!:cool: ) but it's time for this Pickle to go.

WOO HOO!

That is all. :blob1:

[cliffdweller]

Yay!!! I am so glad Elliott was safe last night. I had a bad feeling that he would be voted off.

I just wonder how long Taylor is going to last, I mean, he can't win the whole thing can he? Among the remaining contestants, he's the only one who has NEVER been in the bottom two.

[Livia]

Sorry, but Elliott does NOT "move me." And Paula needs to lay off the oxycontin.

Buh-bye, Pickler!

[SuzeQuze]

I almost forgot to mention! This was one of the best examples of Paula's f*cked-upness. Simon laughing at her crying was awesome.

"You...move...me...Elliot...you've always...moved me..." :lol:

Dude, that was off the hook! :lol: I was like, "Oh, there's something really wrong with her". Elliott was good but please Paula [Abdul]. One word to him, veneers. Otherwise I think he is cute. They fixed his hair so his ears no longer appear elfin.

Katharine and the boobage :eek: I would kill for a rack like that. She's flawless. Oh yeah, the song wasn't bad, I missed her whole performance though. I thought it was classy too that Simon apologized to her. Hmm, "Simon", "classy", and "apologize" in the same sentence? I do believe the world is about to end!

Chris did a good job but that song is so lame I am surprised they didn't call him out on that. Its just not a challenging song for someone in the top 6.

Taylor was off but I still enjoyed him and am psyched he's still in it. He'd better get signed and I'll be buying his album.

Kellie, no love lost, buh bye.

Paris, she's immature for this competition but she's hella talented and will be going places.

[SuzeQuze]

...
and WTF was the purpose of having Andrea Bocelli on the show - what the hell did he do? ...

To sell his records, silly!

[skcin]

Thank God the right person went this week.

Next week they'll each sing 2 songs - one tune on the charts right now, and one from the year they were born. Should be a good show - the years range from about 1977 (Taylor) to 1989 (Paris).

I'd like to ask them all to stay away from ballads this week, I've had enough for a while. Please. :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Perhaps that vote for the worst group is becoming less of a factor.

I thought about that too, but after further review I do NOT want Taylor butchering anything from Rumours. :p

[DavidMn]

I thought about that too, but after further review I do NOT want Taylor butchering anything from Rumours. :pI think me MIGHT have the enthusiasm for GYOW. I could see him potentially doing that song.

[JazmenFlowers]

glad Pickler is gone. next week should be more interesting than all the rest put together.

[Nixxxed]

Can I just say how excited I am to be watching my first Pickle-free top 10 broadcast! :]

Oh yeah, and

GO ELLIOTT!

[Livia]

Simon kept saying exactly what I was thinking...and what on EARTH was Taylor doing at the end of Play That Funky Music...? He looked like a dying cockroach!

Top 2 - Chris and Kat
Bottom 2 - Elliott and Taylor

[JazmenFlowers]

Taylor - gross...sick of him...leave now please.

Katharine - first performance sucked ass. second one was ok, much more her element.

Paris - I really saw Paris' weaknesses this week, but she did ok.

Chris - nice performance of both songs, tho the second he strained way too much.

Elliot - I thought he did a good job with both songs

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Katharine - first performance sucked ass. second one was ok, much more her element.



totally! her "against all odds" was no where near mariah's! :shocked: (which i'm guessing is what she was going for).. but i did enjoy her second song.

[JazmenFlowers]

I think I like Mariah's version better than anyone else's...even the original. :eek:

[Brwn_eyes0511]

hehe.. well you know you aren't going to be getting any arguments from me!

interesting side note.. Mariah re-recorded her vocals for that song and made it into a duet with UK boy band Westlife (which would become a #1 in the UK).. Simon actually co-produced that song, or over looked Westlife's part in it. AND Randy played on the song I believe (but he usually plays in Mariah's band anyway)

the only reason I know this is because I love Westlife. I know, I know, but I do.

I actually have never heard anything that they have put out! EXCEPT of course for the duet with Mariah! Which I do like.. great harmonies!

And they also performed a medley of Never Too Far/Hero with her on an award show in the UK in early 2002

"if I was a judge I would be Simon Cowell!"...stevie :lol: :lol:

she was good...no no she was bad :rolleyes:

[cliffdweller]

Chris was definitely the best. I didn't hear THAT much strain on his vocals---I think Simon made too much of it.

Katherine butchered Against All Odds, I was seriously cringing it was so bad. Her second song was okay, but all in all I thought her two performances were pretty bland and boring.

Elliott was good as usual. I liked his second song better. Never liked that "On Broadway" song anyway.

I still like Taylor's voice, but yes, his schtick is played. And could he please stop saying "soul patrol?" :rolleyes: What does that even mean anyway?

I thought Paris did a good job with "Kiss," but then again it's hard to go wrong with Prince :thumbsup:.

I agree with your entire post. Katharine was so off it was painful - her vocals, her timing. Terrible.

I thought Taylor did a great job on "Something" (dear God, I just realized that I'm not sure that's the actual title of that song. Sorry if I screwed up.) But "Play that funky music" was a joke. Sounded like me & my drunk friends doing bad karaoke.



I think Kat should go, but I think Elliot or Paris will go.

[cliffdweller]

I think Kat should go, but I think Elliot or Paris will go.

I'm afraid you're right, and I'm afraid it's going to be Elliott. And yes, Kat should go.

Oh yeah, and if I hear Ryan say "princess P" one more time when referring to Paris, I think I'm gonna go through the television set and kick him in the balls.

that is all :cool: :laugh:

[DavidMn]

Personally I like Taylor, but I keep asking myself "If he wins, what type of album could he make that would appeal to an Ameerican Idol audience.?"

[GypsySorcerer]

No surprise that Paris went. She has a great voice, but I think she needed time to mature. I'm sure we'll be seeing her in the future.

[JazmenFlowers]

No surprise that Paris went. She has a great voice, but I think she needed time to mature. I'm sure we'll be seeing her in the future.
me too. I think she's a great singer, but I think she does need a little time to vocally mature.

[cliffdweller]

Paris is gone. Oh well, it had to happend sometime 'cuz Chris is gonna win--I just know it.

I wonder how much longer Taylor will last? I really can't believe he's in the top 4, especially thinking back to his audition, but I know he has huge following so :shrug:.

I think Elliott or Kat is on the chopping block next.

[skcin]

Hard to believe the final could very well be Taylor & Chris. That would be OK with me, I think.

BTW - next week they're doing Elvis songs. My mother will be in her glory. :p

[Patti]

I love Taylor and would love to see him in the finals. I find him thoroughly and completely entertaining. I thought he did a really good job covering Something, so he can sing.

Does no one think Katharine will be in the finals? I personally hope not, but I'm kind of expecting her to be there.

[Sorceress]

I was sad to see Paris go. I hope it will be Elliot next. He's not so bad, but I like the other three so much better.

Agreed that Katharine's first song was awful and Taylor's "Play that Funky Music" was total drunken karaoke. It WAS entertaining, however. :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

next week they're doing Elvis songs.

Oh god, can you just imagine what Taylor will do? :laugh: I totally expect nothing but campy pelvis gyration and total body freak out from him. :laugh:

I predict that Chris will either do Jailhouse rock or that newly released single, Little More Action or whatever it's called.

[skcin]

^ A Little Less Conversation.

Hard to say what they'll do, the catalogue is enormous.

[golden braid]

I think the final two will be Chris and Taylor. Taylor has never been in the bottom 3 and it seems like he has a big following. He's not my favorite but he seems like a really nice guy and he is entertaining.

Katherine is a good singer but I don't like her style on a bunch of the songs she sings. I think either Kat or Elliott will go next week.

[GypsySorcerer]

Elvis night:

Elliott was the best, by far. This was actually the first week when I truly, truly enjoyed him. I didn't enjoy either of Katharine's songs. I just don't particularly care for this girl. Her stage presence leaves a lot to be desired, as she is pretty robotic up there, IMO. Even on her "All Shook Up/Hound Dog" medley, her dancing seemed forced.

I hate to say it, but I think Chris is in trouble. I thought both of his songs were good, but were missing the "wow" factor.

Taylor was ok.

I agree with all of this. I'm worried about Chris too, but I think he'll pull through, he has a lot of die-hard fans.

Bye Kat, don't let the door hit ya.

[jannieC]

I really thought Taylor was awesome last night. I love how when he raised the register his voice just really soared. I love the sound of his voice, even though I really don't enjoy watching him dance like some people do. I love Elliott personally, but I just don't know that he has what it takes to stay. I think Chris is so talented, but there is something about him (cannot put my finger on it) that I just don't like. Which is odd because he is from where I live (about 30 minutes away) so I should totally be rooting for him. Is he a tad arrogant? Contrived? Someone help me if you know what I'm talking about. And Katharine- she is so beautiful and she definitely can sing, but she chokes when she's nervous. :shrug:

[Patti]

Elliott was fantastic last night. I have liked him all along. He just keeps getting better and better.

Taylor was great on In the Ghetto and good on Jailhouse Rock.

I liked Chris on Suspicious Minds, but didn't care for A Little Less Conversation.

Katharine was not good IMO. She needs to go this week. But this is the part of AI where the popularity sometimes overrides the performances and that makes me think she'll be safe.

I agree. This was the first time I really liked Elliott too. He sounded great. Taylor was also great on his second song. I wish he would just sing like that more than do all of his dancing.

I too am a little worried for Chris tonight. His songs weren't anything special last night. I do hope Kat goes home. She's pretty and she can sing but I don't like her style of singing. She seems to do too much a lot of the time when I think she could keep things more simple.

[skcin]

Elliot was the best. Fantastic vocals. Those songs aren't easy to sing either.

Chris was dull on Suspicious Minds (which upset me, it's probably my favorite Elvis tune) but I thought he rocked on A Little Less Conversation.

Taylor - I thought he'd do better, to be honest. Jailhouse Rock was OK, but a bit too over the top for me. He sang the hell out of In The Ghetto, but the musical arrangement blew so badly I was distracted. Hated it. Uou don't mess with a classic like In The Ghetto unless you're Eric Cartman, M'kay?

Kat - anyone else think that one of her dance movesduring All Shook Up/Hound Dog seemed to mimic her scratching her crotch? :shocked: No lie, a bunch of people I've talked to noticed it too. Gross. The first two lines of Can't Help Falling In Love were spot on, then it went straight to hell after that. Jesus, girl, stop with the vocal gymnastics, you fall on your face every time. Screeeeeeeeeeech!

I think Kat should go, but I am worried about Chris. Kat may automatically get some of Paris's votes since she's the only chick left. I couldn't get any votes in last night so I gave up.

[gldstwmn]

Where was the horn section on Suspicious Minds? The backing vocals didn't sound right either.

amen. I laughed my ass off last night watching her...I knew it was coming, I crossed my fingers...and BAM. big ol screech. yay.

[Patti]

I totally agree about the arrangement on In The Ghetto. I think they should have stuck more closely with the original and it would have been an even better song. The vocals were great, but the arrangement? Not so much.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

i love kat.

that is all.




oh, and we get to see the golf cart ride with Lisa Marie tonight!

[GypsySorcerer]

I couldn't get any votes in last night so I gave up.
I was able to vote about four/five times in a row for Chris, which worried me. :shocked: I also voted for Kat once accidentally. :laugh:

[JazmenFlowers]

:shocked: I also voted for Kat once accidentally. :laugh:
for shame! lol.

I think Elliot gave everything he had last night, but I still think he's going home. I hope I'm wrong. I think the final two will be Chris and Katharine...maybe Chris and Taylor.

[GypsySorcerer]

for shame! lol.

I think Elliot gave everything he had last night, but I still think he's going home. I hope I'm wrong. I think the final two will be Chris and Katharine...maybe Chris and Taylor.

I'd rather see Kat or Taylor go than Elliott. I'd like him around another week.

Bwah! I didn't notice that persay, but I DID notice that her dancing, overall was as Simon said, MANIC :shocked:. I don't know what that display was supposed to be, but I thought it was fug.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks Taylor is a bit of an assclown :sorry:. I don't know, I like his voice, but his theatrics are really irritating me! :laugh:

i love kat.

Oh, Brandon. Poor, dear, sweet Brandon. :distress:

I'm teasing you of course, but did you honestly not notice how pitchy she gets when she tries to do runs with her voice? Like she can't find her way back to the right note? Plus last week, she lost her spot in the timing of the song, and this week she forgot the lyrics. Blech.

I am soooo excited to see Lisa Marie, she's one cool ass bitch. :nod: Now Priscilla - I know you love her, sweetie, but she's resembling a corpse more & more each day. :sorry: A stunningly beautiful woman who altered her face with surgery to the point that she's unrecognizable. So sad.

No you're not the only one. Assclown indeed. "Soul PaDroll" I too like his voice at times, when it's not being covered up by pointless "yeah!"s and "hey!"s or distorted when he does that stupid scoleosis dance.

And Kat's dancing is manic because she really wants to do stripper moves a la Slutney and Xtina, so she goes as far as she can on a G-rated show then gets self-conscious and backs off. But I'd still rather watch her than listen to her. She's not even pitchy anymore, just screechy.

So for me that leaves Elliott, whose voice (& Stevie vibrato) gives me chill bumps every single time he sings, but who has little stage presence & doesn't really put on a show. Or Chris, who's all show in my book. It should be an interesting few weeks.

[JazmenFlowers]

omg. you just read my mind last night.

taylor annoys...in a big way. I will never forgive him for falling to the floor last week.

katharine wants to be a pole dancer so bad she can, well, taste it. I bet she's had more men on the AI set than Mr. Seacrest.

and elliott is love. he's so sweet...poor mr. thomnas...little elf. we can work on them ears and those teeth that could put black and decker out of business.

[cliffdweller]

No you're not the only one. Assclown indeed. "Soul PaDroll"


Did you notice how he shouted "Soul Patrol" 3 times in a row at one point? :laugh: It was like he was a wind-up toy who didn't know what to do with himself. Yikes. I think he's probably a really great guy and on a personal level I like him, but he just goes overboard sometimes with the schtick. If he'd just tone it down some it wouldn't be so bad. That said, I don't think he's got the best voice in this competition so I don't think he should be in the final much less win the whole thing. I like his voice, I like the quality of it, but it's just not elastic enough, he can't really go beyond a certain register without straining or looking uncomfortable.

[Nixxxed]

Speaking of Taylor's floor fall... Did anyone else notice that his shirt was open a bit at the bottom and his gut was poking out? It was on camera for half a second, and they quickly panned up and zoomed in on his & Ryan's faces.

And is the microphone kick/miss on YouTube or anywhere? Posterity...

I see what everyone is saying about Elliott, but he is NOT ugly. Just normal looking. And compared to some other contestants from years past, he's Brad Pitt. (Scott Savol anyone? Ruben Studdard?) He has the best voice, and it's a *singing* competition, Paula! (Abdul, not sckin... :laugh: ) Besides, just remember his average joe looks won't bother you when you're grooving to his CD ... or better yet getting some while it plays in the background.

[Nixxxed]

Did you notice how he shouted "Soul Patrol" 3 times in a row at one point? :laugh:

amen to all this.

and did anyone happen to notice Screecharine's stomach during her last song? was that her stomach showing while she was wearing that purple number? I don't have anything negative to say about it, cause at least it looked flat and tan...more than I can say for myself right now. just sayin.

[gldstwmn]

No you're not the only one. Assclown indeed.
He bugs. He's on Vote For The Worst now. I don't see him as a "star."

for real. I want to see a birth certificate.

:laugh: It is strange isn't it? I think he's a pod person :laugh:. Awww, poor Taylor!

[gldstwmn]

I'd love him at a crawfish boil (even though I don't eat seafood - they are still fun) or at a bar in New Orleans and I'd enjoy him...without looking. but AI, he ain't.

Exactly. I'm sure he'll do quite well with the exposure he's had now.

[Nixxxed]

I also voted for Kat once accidentally. :laugh:

LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!

;)

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I actually voted for the first time this season, last night.. and I feel like a might have made a difference.. because SHE STAYED!

I liked Chris alright.. and he is from NC.. but I'm just so happy Kat is staying.

[MoonChilde]

GRRR its fixed...I'm done watching it...Screechine should of been booted off ..and still she stays...Bet she goes on to win...Its fixed..thats it thats all.I'm done

[diamondsnake]

Holy mother of God!!!!!!!!

This has got to be a big hoax! I thought Seacrest was joking at first. How could a clown like Taylor still be around and decent performers are getting voted off? This thing is a joke!

I don't know.. I mean a lot of people pick up the phone to vote when they think one of their favs. is in trouble and might not get enough votes for the week. Everything seemed to be against Kat last night.. so I decided to vote as much as I could.. and I did. And as you can see.. a lot of her other fans who maybe don't vote every week decided to do the same last night.

The thing with Chris is.. most people know he was such a front runner to win this thing.. so maybe many didn't even bother voting for him because they thought he would make it through anyway. :shrug:

[golden braid]

Damn! I really wanted Kat to be voted off. I thought Chris was going to win the whole thing or at least be in the top 2. :mad:

[Nixxxed]

Wow - the AI boards are imploding. I can't keep them from crashing on my PC & I've never had that prob before no matter who got the boot.

The last time I got it to come up (for about 30 secs), the first thread was titled "Death to Katharine". :eek:

And we all know what kind of people start those threads..

Squaky, geeky teenage girls (from NC.. trust me, I've seen them) who get all wet between the legs when they see Chris on TV.. and now they blame Kat.. like it REALLY is her fault.

STUPID!

[ThePenguin]

Chris looked pretty stunned. I can't believe he went instead of Kat. :( However I'm sure he'll have a decent career ahead of him after all this exposure; the dude can surely sing and front a band.

The DialIdol site that Fox said was crap and was trying to get shut down? Got it exactly right...

shocked. completely shocked.

[Wild_Heart03]

*echoes Jason*

I was absolutely certain Taylor was going home. Wow.

[GypsySorcerer]

Chris looked floored. :shocked: :shocked:

So I guess the final will be between Taylor and Kat. :rolleyes:

[JazmenFlowers]

Chris looked floored. :shocked: :shocked:

So I guess the final will be beteen Taylor and Kat. :rolleyes:
I'm so done with this show. what a joke. seeing her trollup around tonight too made me sick. what a skeeze.

down with Screecharine.

[CelticGypsy]

:blob1: :blob2: :wavey: Kat and Taylor - Final 2!!!

[skcin]

I don't even care who wins now, why bother watching. Of course, I will anyway. :laugh:

I think Brandon's right, most people assumed Chris was fine, so didn't bother. I also think most Chris fans will vote once or twice, as opposed to 20 times. Kat may have gotten many of Paris's votes since she's the only chick left.

I will make it my personal mission to vote 100 times for each boy next week to keep Kat out. I don't think it's her fault or anything, I just don't like her. We need a boy to win this year. :nod: I would prefer Elliot, but Taylor will probably get it.

BTW - What's up with Cilla's stomach? :shocked: Is she ill or something? It was very distended - the cut of that jacket didn't help much, but it was obviously swollen.

Lisa Marie is hawt. :D

I know. I asked my mom if she was pregnant.

[Patti]

I want Katharine out as well. I'd like to see a Taylor/Elliott final. I'll vote like mad next Tuesday.

I wondered that about Cilla. Is it possible she's pregnant?

[cliffdweller]

I know. I asked my mom if she was pregnant.


I thought that too but then I thought, wait, how old is she? :shocked:

Umm, I am totally disgusted and outraged. I cannot believe that Chris is gone! I so had him pegged to win the whole thing and he was by far my favorite. Katharine sucks and we should all make it our personal mission to vote her the hell off. I'm 100% behind Elliott now. He's the only one left with real vocal talent.
