American Idol: Top 12

[ontheEdgeof17]

Finally. We made it. :thumbsup:

[DavidMn]

I saw Simon on Jay Leno last night, and I wasnt surprised to see him pick Kellie for the girls and Chris for the guys to make it to the end.

[Nixxxed]

The stylist(s) should be shot repeatedly with a high-powered firearm. And then shot again.

Everyone so far has sounded pretty bad.

Oh yeah - I love Elliot.

Oh yeah - I love Elliot.I love Elliot too. And I think he's prtty good looking.:thumbsup:

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Katharine, Paris and Taylor were my top 3 of the night...

[ontheEdgeof17]

Top:

Katharine
Chris
Paris
Taylor (unfortunately)
Mandisa

Sucks:

Kevin
Bucky
Pickler


Forgettable:

Ace
Melissa
Elliot
Lisa

[goldie]

A few of them butchered Stevie's songs ... ugh! I could barely listen to the first half of the show. Standouts for me were Chris, Katherine, Melissa (I think that's her name), and Paris. Taylor wasn't too shabby, either. I like his spirit. I'd love to see what he looks like if they dye his hair. My boy Ace did not impress me tonight at all!! Kinda bummed about that.

[ThePenguin]

Taylor wasn't too shabby, either. I like his spirit. I'd love to see what he looks like if they dye his hair. .

No, they'd better not touch it, he is HOT w/ the grey. :woohoo:

He did great tonight, too....as did Chris, Mandisa and Catherine. IMO everybody else can go bye-bye.

[BTFLCHLD]

ive got some honeysuckle chocolate covered candy kisses for you! purrr

[jannieC]

I thought this was the worst Idol show yet. Why would they make them sing Stevie Wonder songs? Rather than give my opinion, I'll just say that I totally agree with Curtis (except for where he said "unfortunately" by Taylor's name- b/c I still love Tayler).

[cliffdweller]

Top:

Katharine
Chris
Paris
Taylor (unfortunately)
Mandisa

Sucks:

Kevin
Bucky
Pickler


Forgettable:

Ace
Melissa
Elliot
Lisa

I agree except I think Elliott is a good singer, he just didn't do so well with the Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder songs MUST be hard to sing because hardly any of the contestants pulled them off. I was pleasantly surprised by Chris's choice :thumbsup:.

Oh, and I also really liked Taylor's performance, I think he's great.

Katherine is gorgeous!

I still love Mandisa. She started her song off a little shaky, but by the end she nailed it.

I don't really have anything against Pickler (except for her dumb, southern blonde bullsh*t) but I hope she doesn't win. We already have a Carrie Underwood.

I would LOVE to have been privy to Stevie Wonder's inner monologue when he was working with Kevin in that practice segment :shocked: :laugh:.

[skcin]

Chris, Paris, Taylor & Mandisa were the only ones who really impressed me last night, although Mandisa was a bit shaky at the start.

Elliot, Katherine, Lisa, Melissa & Bucky were all good, but nothing special IMO.

Kellie sucked, Ace was dull, and Kevin? I almost peed my pants - "Part Time Lover?" Are you kidding me? Bwwaaahhhaaaahhhhaaa! He should go.

At least nobody did "I Just Called..." :D

[wondergirl9847]

Stevie Wonder songs MUST be hard to sing because hardly any of the contestants pulled them off.

Go find Justin's version of For Once in My Life and also his audition of Blame It on the Sun (sung by...uh...someone last night) and RJ's version of Lately. They are all awesome! :thumbsup: Also, Justin's Ribbon in the Sky is pretty dang great too. :)

Those two guys put everyone last night to shame....as usual.

I miss Gedeon and wonder what he would have done last night...and also Will. :(

[cliffdweller]

I miss Gedeon and wonder what he would have done last night


I thought about Gedeon too! He would have done a great job with just about any Stevie Wonder song I think.

[JazmenFlowers]

I thought this was the worst Idol show ever. I am so sick of Stevie Wonder. He's good, but he's not god and I'm not gooey over most of his songs anyway. Paris and Chris were the only ones I thought really did a good job. Mandisa was ok, but girl put the shoes back on. I kept thinking, surely she ain't gonna do this barefoot...and sure enough. I couldn't believe it. And Lisa was horrible, she croaked her way through and the judges ate it up...figures. The rest...I don't even have the strength to relive. This show better shape up fast.

[GypsySorcerer]

I missed most of the show, except for Taylor, Paris, and Chris, who is pretty much confirmed as my favorite at this point. Hopefully, they will have a better theme next week.

if Taylor yells, woops, coos or woohoos one more time I may put my head in the oven. I enjoy his voice and he really is consistent, but dear god why does he have to yelp every other second and all that damn terrets-looking stuff...geez...it's getting so old. Just as old as Pickler's "dumb blonde" act.

Does it bother anyone else that she talks when she's not supposed to? She interrupts at odd times. I thought she was cute and I liked her, now I'm just perturbed. I hate people sometimes...seriously, I do. :( :wavey:

[BTFLCHLD]

Just as old as Pickler's "dumb blonde" act im glad they gave her the critiques she received...
perhaps these will bring her back down to earth

[jannieC]

Does it bother anyone else that she talks when she's not supposed to? She interrupts at odd times. I thought she was cute and I liked her, now I'm just perturbed. I hate people sometimes...seriously, I do. :( :wavey:
I went from really liking her (audition stage) to seriously hating her (last week), to realizing she may be THAT stupid and nervous (last night). I just don't know. No matter what, she's not that great of a singer, bottom line.

And I'm in agreement about Taylor's wooping. Most of the time it seems genuine, but there <i>are</i> times it seems contrived.

I meant to mention earlier that I felt SO bad for poor Bucky when Simon made the dig about his hair. Of course we (husband and I) were wtf'ing over it- and then Simon said it out loud. God, you could tell Bucky was horribly embarrassed about it. Hehe.

[Patti]

My top three from last night were Taylor, Chris and Katharine, with Taylor being number one. I really enjoyed his performance and I LOOOOOVE the salt and pepper hair.

Everyone else to me was just average, with the exception of Pickler and I just thought she sucked. If she went tonight, I would be thrilled, but I doubt there's any chance in hell that will happen. Actually I predict it will be Melissa who goes home tonight.

I think it will be either Melissa or Bucky who go home tonight. I like Bucky because he seems like a genuinely sweet person and his voice is interesting. Unfortunately, I think he's not in the same league as some of the others and doesn't have as many fans as say, Kevin.

Agreed that the theme was crappy, but I loved loved Taylor, Paris, and Katharine's performances. I LIKED Chris' because of the nostaligia factor (again with the early 90s alternative thing), but though Simon commended him for not doing a Stevie karaoke version of the song, he could have said it was a Chili Pepper karaoke version. A good one, mind you. I just don't find him as "current" as Simon keeps saying he is. At any rate, Chris will probably win the whole thing.

[JazmenFlowers]

that's exactly what I was thinking too.

I don't think Katharine was that great. She seemed to be yelling most of the song, to me.

Melissa screwing up the words was the worst...I mean, even though I'm not a big Stevie fan, I know that part of the song. Plus I don't think she has the voice to sustain this competition.

[skcin]

I really like Melissa, but she did not do well last night. i remember thinking that the judges would blast her for being out of tune & forgetting the words, but they didn't really say too much. :shrug:

March 15, 2006
Kellie Pickler is a Daddy's Girl

American Idol contestant and North Carolina native, Kellie Pickler, has a father who is serving a 45 month prison term for felony assault on a law enforcement officer. Carl Pickler wrote a letter to the Stanley News & Press thanking the residents of Stanley County for their continued support of Kellie.

"Kellie has really touched my life with all she has overcome," he wrote. "I can take no credit for anything she has accomplished in her 19 years of life. I'm only regretting the fact that I'm not there to support her in person."

Girls with daddy and abandonment issues are almost as great as hot chicks with the self-esteem of a fat girl with an eye patch, so it's no surprise that millions of guys are completely in love with Kellie Pickler. She's dumb and eager to please, but she's cute and has actual talent. Her life story would be too depressing for a Lifetime movie, but she has managed to pull her way out of a bad situation and now has a actual shot at winning. Whatever the outcome, Clay Aiken has already volunteered to visit the prison, and he's even bringing his own syrup.

[cliffdweller]

And Lisa was horrible, she croaked her way through and the judges ate it up...figures.


I think Lisa is boring and forgettable. Why does Simon like her so much?!?!?! I think she's one of the worst!

[cliffdweller]

but though Simon commended him for not doing a Stevie karaoke version of the song, he could have said it was a Chili Pepper karaoke version. A good one, mind you. I just don't find him as "current" as Simon keeps saying he is.

My husband and I had this very same discussion last night! It was a total Chili Peppers rip-off, and yes a good one at that ;) That's fine though, he's one of the best in this competition, it's just that Simon contradicted himself in his comments which happens sometimes.

I thought it was mean when Simon said that Pickler went to the Dolly Parton school of styling, or whatever, you know about her look last night. I mean, she felt bad enough about her horrible performance, (even before the judges said anything about it) why did he have to rub salt in the wound? I just thought that was a bit much, she looked like she was going to cry.

[JazmenFlowers]

I think Lisa is boring and forgettable. Why does Simon like her so much?!?!?! I think she's one of the worst!
totally...me too.

he likes her so much because she could be his ex-girlfriend's twin.

[Beachwood Mac]

The stylist(s) should be shot repeatedly with a high-powered firearm. And then shot again.


I totally agree. It's bad enough that this was their first performance on "the big stage". Kellie, Melissa and Katherine looked so uncomfortable in their dresses and the comments about Bucky's hair and the possibility of dyeing Taylor's hair are inappropriate. It's funny how the judges are always talking about making the songs their own yet they are forced to appear on stage in a look determined by a "stylist". What happened to just being yourself. Can you imagine what the judges would have said to someone like Stevie had she shown up as Rhiannon?

Terry

[cliffdweller]

totally...me too.

he likes her so much because she could be his ex-girlfriend's twin.


Ahhh, I see. I thought he might have a little thing for her, that's the only way to explain his adoration because girlfriend is a snoozefest up there.

[DavidMn]

Chris, Paris, Taylor & Mandisa were the only ones who really impressed me last night, although Mandisa was a bit shaky at the start.

Elliot, Katherine, Lisa, Melissa & Bucky were all good, but nothing special IMO.

Kellie sucked, Ace was dull, and Kevin? I almost peed my pants - "Part Time Lover?" Are you kidding me? Bwwaaahhhaaaahhhhaaa! He should go.

At least nobody did "I Just Called..." :DYeah, but I heard Kevin has that same group Scott had from last year voting for him.

[jannieC]

Why are they making me wait until 9PM to see the results? I rushed home, like an idiot, because I thought the show started at 8PM. :o

[Nixxxed]

Is it just me, or can Stevie Wonder not even sing Stevie Wonder songs?

Pitchy.

D'oh - bottom three just started. ROFL at the first one.

[wondergirl9847]

America got it right this night...but Kevin should be up there too...why not a top 5 instead of 3? LOL Those three are zzzzzzzzzzz........

[jannieC]

This Kevin thing is really upsetting me. I don't know who is more shocked, me or Kevin. :shocked:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Who cares about Idol....The Loop is hilarious! :)

[diamondsnake]

Who the hell is voting for that dweeb Kevin? He is a loser!!!!!

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Who cares about Idol....The Loop is hilarious! :)

Oh no worries...

If it is any good they will cancel it...

Just like they did Arrested Development

[Sorceress]

I just thought that was a bit much, she looked like she was going to cry.


When she came onstage, and before Simon said it, I told my husband she looked like Dolly Parton. It was totally true, and not necessarily a MEAN thing. It was the big-ish blonde hair, the fake eyelashes and the dress combo. Besides, Dolly's not so bad. :laugh: Kellie just looked like a more subdued version. I thought comparing Bucky's hair to Jessica Simpson's was much meaner.

But yeah, America got it right tonight. I don't think I would have cared if it Lisa or Ace had gone home instead, but sorry Melissa.

[BTFLCHLD]

yea what is this crap on at 9

[Red]

I missed it - which one was Melissa? Well I guess it doesn't really matter since I have no clue who she is.:rolleyes:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Who the hell is voting for that dweeb Kevin? He is a loser!!!!!

votefortheworst.com

Kevin will make it a long way....their picks on this site always do.

[JazmenFlowers]

I was laughing my ass off. America is f*cking this show up and I love it. Melissa should have gone home. There's no room for those kind of mistakes. Lisa was well served to be in the bottom 3 as well. Hello, the girl totally cracked on her "BIG" note.

[DavidMn]

votefortheworst.com

Kevin will make it a long way....their picks on this site always do.You know I'm not a big big fan of idol, but this vote for the worst **** is ridiculous!:mad: I do think that most of the people that are there care about what theyre doing, and to have this group keep someone around just to embarass the show is totally out of line in my opinion.

[jannieC]

votefortheworst.com

Kevin will make it a long way....their picks on this site always do.
Hmmm. My initial reaction to this site is anger, until I read what they have to say. I can sort of see where they're coming from. I guess I just wish they (AI) didn't have the crappy singers to begin with, and just really made this a singing competition. In a way, this is what the judges get for allowing someone like Kevin to get through. What bugs me is that even though the rest of the world knows that Kevin is being voted for because he sucks- he seems to think that it’s because he’s actually a good singer.

[BTFLCHLD]

the show is a bore :rolleyes:

I just sat here and read that entire cartoon thingy. Thanks BTFLCHLD! LMAO!!!!!!

[JazmenFlowers]

alright - another go round tonight. anyone know what the theme is?

[DavidMn]

alright - another go round tonight. anyone know what the theme is?50's music I believe

[DavidMn]

alright - another go round tonight. anyone know what the theme is?So how long do you think this vote for the worst **** is going to keep choke your chicken little around?

[BTFLCHLD]

bye bucky :wavey:

[ontheEdgeof17]

A MUCH better week. The song choiced were good and the vocals were 10 times better. Here's my breakdown, with Bucky to go home.



Kicked Ass:

Mandisa
Chris
Pickler :eek:
Katherine

Kicked Butt:

Elliott (THEY FIXED HIS TEETH! :blob1: )
Paris
Ace
Taylor


Kicked the Can:

Kevin
Bucky
Lisa

[GypsySorcerer]

Yep, I think it'll be Bucky who gets the boot. Overall, this was a very good show. :thumbsup:

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Elliott (THEY FIXED HIS TEETH! :blob1: )


I thought i noticed that...I'm so glad..:D

One of the things I can't stand..f*cked up teeth.

[Red]

If either Bucky or Lisa go, I'll be content. And I hate to admit it, but the Kevster wasn't half bad tonight. And I REALLY hate to admit this, but Pickler was fantastic. Stupid Pickler.:mad:

[jannieC]

Elliott (THEY FIXED HIS TEETH! :blob1: )

I fell asleep before seeing Elliott, and Ace too. I'm so happy they fixed his teeth- but, what do you mean? Like, veneers? I would have thought he would need serious orthodontic work.

[JazmenFlowers]

A MUCH better week.
I agree...it was a much better week. I didn't notice Elliott's teeth. I need to find a pic cause brother needed some serious help.

my picks in order:

Mandisa - flawless
Chris - amazing
Paris - hot
Kellie - I thought she worked it out
Elliott - a little off here and there, but still a great performance
Katharine - she should bitch slap whoever dressed her; song was boring
Ace - I almost couldn't listen to the first half; he needs to get, dare I say, more confident
Taylor - yuck
Kevin - bless it
Bucky - I swear I didn't even know what the hell he was singing
Lisa - bad song choice, bad outfit, bad, bad, bad

[BTFLCHLD]

I fell asleep before seeing Elliott, and Ace too. I'm so happy they fixed his teeth- but, what do you mean? Like, veneers? I would have thought he would need serious orthodontic work. it looked to me like he had one too many cuspids (canine)...and from the looks they removed the right and left allowing for his remaining teeth to appear straighter...and they gave him a much needed cleaning. overall looks good...and he handled the adjustment well.

bucky should go...but i wouldnt mind the 86 of taylor (sick of his antics and he certainly didnt sound great last night)

still hot for chris, ace and elliott :o
really not feeling it for the ladies :sorry:

[jannieC]

Wow, that is a lot of work to have done in the middle of all the AI madness.

[BTFLCHLD]

Wow, that is a lot of work to have done in the middle of all the AI madness. exactly...but in actuality it appeared they were extra teeth so i am sure they were quite ready for removal and the gum would have been more than relieved; therefore closing quickly.

then again im not a dentist and am only speculating based on appearance :wavey:

[DavidMn]

Adios Monsieur Covington.

[JazmenFlowers]

then again im not a dentist
that was hilarious when I read it...lol...I'm still laughing

[cliffdweller]

I'm afraid last night was Bucky's last performance. He's so gone.

I am so SICK of Lisa. Ugh :rolleyes: She is so boring and forgettable.

I agree with you Jannie, Kevin thinks he's getting voted through because he's good and that's just a shame. Actually, that's what pisses me off the most about that guy and it's not even his fault! :laugh:

Pickler: meh

Paris: meh

Katherine: I can't believe Simon liked her performance as much as he did! I thought it was boring, but she has a beautiful voice and she's gorgeous so...

Ace: Nice try pulling that falsetto out of your ass at the end, but no dice k?

Elliott: His attempt at vibratto was hilarious. He's a good singer overall though.

Taylor: Weak vocal, he's coasting on personality at this point.

I kinda liked Chris's Walk The Line last night. Now THAT I could see him recording, not that Chili Peppers knock off.

Mandisa kicks ass!! Oh please, oh please I hope she wins!

[DavidMn]

that was hilarious when I read it...lol...I'm still laughingThat's my Elliot!:)

[BTFLCHLD]

...lol...

Bucky - I swear I didn't even know what the hell he was singing
Lisa - bad song choice, bad outfit, bad, bad, bad

Yes, Katharine's outfit was terribly unflattering. She's such a cute girl that it should NOT be hard to dress her. What's wrong with them?

Mandisa, Chris and Paris were great.

I hate Kellie no matter what. Her song choice was a good one, but compared to Patsy's version, she just didn't cut it.

Ace is just not as talented as he should be. I really am hating his falsetto. He looks much better when he's smiling instead of trying to look sexy.

I still love Taylor, but his song was terribly boring.

Elliot! He looked SO much better last night, from the teeth to the outfit to the facial hair. Thank you to his stylist. Maybe that person can help Katharine out too.

Kevin, Bucky or Lisa need to go tonight. Lisa is trying so hard but she is just not natural enough. Poor Bucky just can't really sing, though he does have a nice personality. And Kevin? Little Kevin? He needs to wait a few years--until he is shaving, at least. And that would give him some time to work with a speech therapist on that lisp.

[JazmenFlowers]

that lisp.
and it's a crooked lisp. even worse!

I agree with all you said...except that I don't hate Kellie as much as some others.

[wondergirl9847]

Gah. I am so bored with these people. I don't like being yelled at by Mandisa, I don't like hearing Ace being murdered (he IS being murdered, right? :shocked: ), I don't like being put to sleep by Lisa, I don't like hearing Pickle push women back about 80 years. :rolleyes:

I'm only watching to read the snark the next day. :laugh:

See, THIS? Is why you're my soulmate. :xoxo: I agree with you, although I think Lisa might go instead of Bucky.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Katharine was the best.

And she did a smashing version of one of my favs. "Come Rain or Come Shine"

[SapphireSister]

-Bucky just needs to go. Is he even singing? What is that called?

-I loved Lisa at the beginning but now she's gone down. I still think she should make it a bit further though.

-I just don't understand what the huge deal is about Elliot. He can sing but his voice isn't anything special to me. He's boring to watch and I'm sorry but he's horrible to look at (those ears OMG). I know the show shouldn't be based on looks but I don't want to look at him.

-I hate to say it but Pickler sounded great.

-Taylor is nothing special and his shtick does not entertain me.

-Chris is great but unoriginal. His voice sounds like the lead singer of 10 bands out there right now that all sound alike i.e. Nickleback, 3 Doors Down, Creed, etc. and we don't need another one.

-Paris is too perky and dances too much. She just annoys me although she is very talented. She's overly confident.

-Kevin is there because they think he's cute but he will not win.

-Ace is there because of looks, he won't last and that stare at the end of his songs, I want to shoot him.

-Regardless of who wins KATHERINE IS MY AMERICAN IDOL *swoon*. She has the looks, talent, and personality. She's the total package in my book. I really want her to win. I adore the crap out of her.

[jannieC]

-Paris is too perky and dances too much. She just annoys me although she is very talented. She's overly confident.


And did anyone notice that when asked how Barry Mannilow helped her, she couldn't say one thing about him? I think she's a little overly confident, too.

And speaking of Barry, I thought he was so cool! :thumbsup:

[Livia]

Barry rocks my world. Yeah, I said it! He's a great arranger!

Katherine hit a major clunker note toward the end and no one said anything! I heard it from the next room, it was so obvious. I love her, but it's clear that the judges love her too...makes me think they really are being coached by the producers...

Chicken Little, oy....be gone, lispy boy (baby talk, baby talk, it's a wonder he can walk....)!

I agree with Curtis' choices as well..and I'm really ready for Taylor to be gone...but I think it will be Bucky.

That girl is so naturally beautiful it's amazing. That skin, those cheekbones, that hair. Gorgeous. :nod:

[SapphireSister]

OMG she's beautiful! My mom thinks she looks like Katherine Zeta-Jones (maybe a little). What I also love about her is that she's not stick thin and still has an incredible figure! A great role model for young girls.

[JazmenFlowers]

I call him Mr. Thomnas (from Narnia).

I don't like Katharine. But I do think she is gorgeous. Great, prominent features.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I don't like Katharine. But I do think she is gorgeous. Great, prominent features.

Are you serious. I figured you would..she is a huge Barbra fan..:thumbsup:

[GypsySorcerer]

-I just don't understand what the huge deal is about Elliot. He can sing but his voice isn't anything special to me.
I couldn't agree more. I've never gotten the appeal.

I really liked Lisa during the audition process, but she's been a major disappointment.

[SapphireSister]

I call him Mr. Thomnas (from Narnia).

I don't like Katharine. But I do think she is gorgeous. Great, prominent features.

Hee hee Mr.Tomnas, totally!

About Katherine though, you're nuts :xoxo:, what's not to like? She has an amazing voice.

[JazmenFlowers]

Are you serious. I figured you would..she is a huge Barbra fan..:thumbsup:
I know. I should and wish I did. I don't hate her, just not a favorite.

Hee hee Mr.Tomnas, totally!

About Katherine though, you're nuts :xoxo:, what's not to like? She has an amazing voice.
I think she has a good voice, not amazing though. I think she has a far more limited range than most people realize.

[goldie]

I wouldn't mind if Lisa or Bucky went tonight. I called as much as I could last night for my boys -- Ace, Chris, and Elliot. I could get through for Elliot quite a bit, which concerned me. I think he has a great voice and he's a cutie. Shame on him for not liking Mr. Manilow prior to this week!

[skcin]

The only people I couldn't get through for at 10:45 EST were Mandisa & Taylor.

[SuzeQuze]

Gah. I am so bored with these people. I don't like being yelled at by Mandisa, I don't like hearing Ace being murdered (he IS being murdered, right? :shocked: ), I don't like being put to sleep by Lisa, I don't like hearing Pickle push women back about 80 years. :rolleyes:

I'm only watching to read the snark the next day. :laugh:

She's really not too bright. To Ryan, "Look at the pickle!". Ryan replies, "I saw the pickle." :lol: :laugh: :lol: Blonde jokes were invented for The Pickle!

[Red]

I hate the Pickle.:mad:

[golden braid]

I hate the Pickle.:mad:
Kellie hasn't really bothered me too much until tonight. I'm tired of her stupidity, real or fake. Ryan was saying that Simon had called her performance "ballsy" and Kellie says, "What's ballsy?" SHUT UP! Are you really that stupid? It would be best if she keeps her mouth shut. Her act was cute for only so long and she has worn it out.

I'm glad Kevin went. Even though Bucky's performance was worse last night Kevin needed to have left already.

[Red]

Wow, I;m surprised that the Kev went home tonight. I wasn't here to watch it so I'm glad I have the Ledge to keep me updated. Bucky or Lisa shouldld've gone. I;m having a hard time typingkf....

[Sorceress]

That Kevin went last night shows votefortheworst.com is losing it's power(if it really had any in the first place, that is). Thankfully. They take credit for keeping John Stevens, Jasmine Trias, and Scott Sabol around, which wasn't cool at all.

I think what she said was, "What's A ballsy?" She's a complete idiot.

I was so happily surprised to see Kevin go. I thought votetheworst would have kept him going much longer. Bucky did get lucky (heh) though because his performance sucked royally Tuesday night.

[cliffdweller]

I think what she said was, "What's A ballsy?" She's a complete idiot.


I wonder if she really is that stupid or if she's just playing dumb, I mean, her dad is a convicted felon so I have a feeling she's pretty well versed in reality. I'd like to think that she's been around the block a time or two.

And I think she knows what ballsy and minx means :rolleyes:

Seriously, her delivery when she's doing her dumb bit is so contrived and fakey sounding to me, I just can't believe she's that ignorant, but :shrug:.

Oh, and goodbye Kevin! Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya! HATED that kid. HA-TED.

Bucky's next...

[DavidMn]

I was dissapointed. I thought Bucky would go for sure.

[Red]

I know the Pickle's little act seems hard to believe, because really, who the hell is that stupid??....but to be honest, I really think she is that vapid. Very small town, very sheltered, little to no education - it can happen.

I was like you until the other night when she said "what's a ballsy?"

Honestly, that gave it away to me that she is putting on...at least playing it up. She's not from somewhere so small that she doesn't know when someone is "ballsy", but to turn it into what's A ballsy...a little obvious.

Exactly. And didn't it seem as though her comedic timing was a wee bit off? She's full of sh*t.

Yep. Pay close attention to her face when she's not being "on." Her facial expression reveals a different person. It's all in the eyes. It's like she's contriving the next stupid thing she's going to say. Also, when she doesn't know the camera is on her she has a whole different look about her, it's kind of calculating.

OMG. it's funny you say that. the other night when they were all walking out, the camera was on her, but she didn't know it. she looked very serious and then as soon as she realized she was on camera she got that goofy grin.

See!? This is what I'm talking about! She's totally faking, well, mostly faking anyway.

[skcin]

See!? This is what I'm talking about! She's totally faking, well, mostly faking anyway.

A couple weeks ago, I would have totally disagreed. I really thought she was that dumb & not capable of putting on such a good act. But I saw what you're talking about too. She seems cold.

And good riddance to Kevin, if he would have been allowed to sing another ballad for another week, I would have lapsed into a coma.

[ontheEdgeof17]

:nod: :nod: :nod:

I'm glad he missed the cut for the tour! I might go see them now, knowing he won't be there (only the top ten perform).

My bottom three picks were correct. :thumbsup: Bucky's next to go...or Lisa...one of those....


Next Week: Songs from the 21st Century.....

[skcin]

Next Week: Songs from the 21st Century.....


Yeah, I'm thrilled. :rolleyes:

I wonder why they didn't just proceed to 60's, then 70's & 80's. Hmmm. Maybe a "special guest" for a certain era could only make it a certain week? I can't remember if they jumped around last year.

They just skip around. Last year they had cool themes like "song from the year you were born".....kinda bland with them so far this year...

At least Kevin won't be able to sing "Because of You" :)

[JazmenFlowers]

holy hell. what an awful night. maybe there was a glitch in the sound or something.

my picks in order:

Mandisa - good song choice and performance, but she was a little off
Paris - she's so cute and I thought she worked it out
Chris - good, but as I was saying the other night, he needs to venture into different styles...stop making everything so rock
Elliott - good, but his dancing was heinous. I like that he tried to change up from the original but it was a little weird
Ace - alright...but boring and if he tugs at his hair or glares into the camera again I may scream; I'm tiring of him
Kellie - ehhh, it was ok, but boring and a stupid song choice
Katharine - was I hearing the same thing the judges were? she was horrible...not even near Xtina (my girl)...off key and struggling...when you sing that you gotta rip it and belt it...there was none of that
Taylor - so bored
Bucky - I thought he was actually ok...but not in the same league as far as a singer goes as some of the others
Lisa - to quote myself last week...bad, bad, bad...she needs to go

[Nixxxed]

^^^

holy hell is right - I hated everyone this week - even Elliot, and I have the cutest China patterns picked out for the 2 of us, so you know it was really bad

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Elliot and Katharine were the only ones that were any good tonight IMO..

Elliot really picked a great song for him.. now, if only he had the face and TEETH of Rob Thomas.. I would be all over him.

[JazmenFlowers]

poor Mr. Tomnas...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[GypsySorcerer]

Horrid week. No one was really great. Lisa is really bad -- I hope she goes. Bucky improved slightly, but doesn't have the voice to carry him much further. I thought Ace sang off-key the entire song. I didn't care for Katharine's take on Christina's song. Chris -- great voice, but we need some variety. Pickler was awful - total snoozefest.

Overall, I was very underwhelmed.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Wow. Terrible.

I watched the America's Next Top Model Re-Run more than Idol.

Bottom Three:

Lisa
Ace
Bucky

[bikerchic]

OMG, last nite everyone sucked! When Ace pulled back his shirt and rubbed his scar, I threw up in my mouth alittle. Please go away. I thought it might be fun to keep him around for eye candy but that "deer in the headlights" look is getting sickening.

[ThePenguin]

I agree, did you see the way he was 'shaking w/ emotion' as he held the last note of the song, please, give me a break. and the scar thing, ugh.

Lisa was awful, Bucky was almost as awful.

What was Chris thinking w/ that song?? same w/ Mandisa and kelly, what odd choices.

The only one I actually liked last night was Taylor.

-Lis

Totally agree with everything you said, Lis. When I saw his hand shaking, I was like, "Did you SEE that?!"

The whole show was such a bummer for me. I actually don't even care WHO gets voted off tonight.

[skcin]

Worst. Night. Ever. :( This really proved to me that most current music sucks ass. These were the best songs they could find? Ugh. :rolleyes:

Mandisa, Elliot, Paris & Chris were all OK, nothing more. Sad that they were the best, and still nothing special. Bucky - eh, it's not like that's a hard song to sing.

Katherine - the whole time I'm going "wow, she is SO out of tune, they're going to tear her apart." :shocked: Um. OK. And wtf did they dress her in? Sheebus.

Lisa should go, she was definitely off. BTW - I did my weekly call to everyone to see what the status was - at 9:25 (earliest I've ever gotten through) I was able to vote for every sinlge person exept Taylor.

Yes, Lisa should go. She was just bad. Or Ace, who was just ridiculous. I thought Taylor's vocal was the best, though he could have picked a more interesting song. Or at least a song that didn't repeat the same lyric five times in a row, over and over. I actually thought he looked sort of good in his leather jacket. Yes, he looked "styled," but it kind of worked for him.

I think they are deliberately trying to make Katharine look terrible in her clothes. Why else would they pick hideous outfits week after week? I did like her jewelry, but I was underwhelmed by the performance.

Paris and Elliot were okay. I'm tired of Chris and his grungy rock thing. He's the only contestant who won't compromise, according to Simon. Well, it's time to compromise and try something different. Bucky sucked royally when HE stepped out of his comfort zone, but at least he tried.

[cliffdweller]

I wasn't all that impressed with Mandisa for the first time in this competition. I think Simon was right, that song was a bit self indulgent.

I think Chris just wanted to yell at everyone :laugh: I kinda liked it even though it was a Creed song (hate Creed), but yeah, your average A.I. viewer probably couldn't get with it. I think the judges are sitting there thinking, hmmm, what will we do with this guy if he wins? He's not your typical A.I. fare, he'll scare away the teeny-boppers!

I loved Taylor, I also thought Paris sounded great. Everyone else...blah.

Lisa...double blah. She needs to leave tonight.

[JazmenFlowers]

I love how Chris made a point to say he loves Live and that the rendition of Walk the Line from last week was their version. What's that saying? Oh yeah, a day late...:wavey:

[cliffdweller]

I love how Chris made a point to say he loves Live and that the rendition of Walk the Line from last week was their version.


I didn't know that! Wow. I was wondering how he pulled that out of his ass.

[Patti]

My boss just came in and said she heard on the radio that there was a problem with the numbers (Taylor's number was on the screen during Mandisa's performance) and they may have to redo the calling, with the results show on Thursday. Anyone else hear that?

[JazmenFlowers]

I didn't know that! Wow. I was wondering how he pulled that out of his ass.
I said that with a hint of sarcasm. IMO, and there could be things I missed, but he took the credit for altering that song and making it his own last week when, in fact, it sounds identical to Live's version. Live released some statement talking about that fact and then last night Chris acknowledges it...just a little strange.

[Livia]

At first, I thought Taylor was gonna butcher "Trouble." But, surprise! I loved the arrangement and thought he was one of the best last night.

I also liked Paris, and agree that Chris needs to try something new.

And yeah - wtf Katherine? Horrible! Sharps and flats all over the place - just like last week when she blew it at the end of the song. Like I was sayin' - the judges will fawn all over anyone who sucks - as long as the producers want them to...and they clearly want Katherine to go far...

Lisa or Bucky (aka Mushmouth) need to go!

Strange indeed. I don't think you're off the mark---I was thinking the whole time he was singing it, how did he arrange this? Did he have help? He couldn't have possibly come up with this. Now I know he didn't. He's just been knocked down a notch on the cool scale. I still like his voice.

oh me too. and I didn't like that song last night, but he did a good job. it makes me really wonder though if he has any originality in him or if he is a just a bar band guy scrambling to be able to sing songs he's sang for years in bars with his band...I really want to see what he sings when there isn't a song or a rendition of a song that is in his comfort zone. let's see him tackle some adult contemporary or jazz.

[skcin]

I am tired of the judges saying one thing one week, then saying the opposite the next.

Last week Simon told Chris that he's the first contestant to stand his ground & good job for not trying to be something he's not. This week he tells him that he's gone too far & he can't keep doing whatever he wants.

Several times the judges have complimented people, saying they know who they are & what they're good at. Then they tell them they need to branch out & try something different.

They tell Paris she acts too old, but then tell her her voice is really mature for her age. And I hate to break it to ya Paula, but the was she danced last night IS the way people her age are dancing.

First Taylor looks out of date, now they're dressing him up to be something he's not? Which is it?

Whatever. The judges serve no realy purpose anyway.

[skcin]

For sure about being knocked down a notch. I'm really disappointed that he accepted credit for creativity that he wasn't actually due. He should have said LAST week that he was doing Live's version, just like he did when he talked about the Chili Peppers a few weeks ago. All along I've been saying that he's not original, but not having heard the Live song, last week I thought, "Okay, this is something new and it's good." I was impressed. Now I'm mad at him.

you can listen to a 30 sec clip of Live's version on iTunes.

It's possible that he did credit it but that was not included in the show. They're all doing covers so who cares. Maybe when complimented on the arrangement though he should have mentioned it. To me its been much ado about nothing.

Well I see your point. I think the difference is that everyone else sings covers in the way they are normally heard and he isn't. And the creativity/originality of that is something it appeared he had taken credit for...I agree with you and Travis that it's not a huge deal; just interesting. I guess what I look at is that he accepted Simon's compliment of "never compromising" as if it were his arrangement. I, personally, don't really care one way or the other, tho it does make me go "hmmm".

[Sorceress]

Chris never said that was his arrangement. People get their knickers in a knot too much.

No, he didn't, but it would have been more open and respectful for him to have just said, "This week I'm doing Live's version of "I Walk the Line." But Suze is right, maybe they edited the part where he said it out of his little tape. I don't know, so I will try not to get my knickers TOO knotted. :laugh: I still feel bummed that he is still just copying all these bands though. He's good. He could give us more.

[GypsySorcerer]

I read Chris did credit Live last week, but it was edited out.
:eek: omg. that's bull****. well, I guess I take back all I said except the fact that he needs to branch out a bit.

Agreed. And didn't you just LOVE it :rolleyes: when Simon told Catherine that he watched the show back that night and realized that her performance wasn't that good? Ugh. The judges need to get consistant already. The only consistant one is Paula, albeit consistant praise, and that's only because she's so f*cked up on pills that she doesn't know from good performances.

Bucky's next. Or maybe Ace, I haven't decided yet.

[BTFLCHLD]

ive tuned out...repulsed the judges applauded K's butch of chris' song

[skcin]

Why did Katherine look so shocked that she was in the bottom 3? She was totally out of tune Tuesday. That's what happens when you suck, sweetie. One bad week can ruin everything no matter how beautiful & talented you are.

Notice Ryan didn't brag about how many votes were received this week? Probably cuz they got 30,000 instead of the usual 30 million. :laugh:

Country next week. Oy vey. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know. Last week, Simon praised Chris for not compromising. This week, he said "Compromise." :lol:

I agree it will be Bucky or Ace. Perhaps Ace, because next week is country, and that is Bucky's thing. But who knows.

[GypsySorcerer]

I know. I mean, she had the most obvious look on her face. I was so glad Simon said what he did about watching the tape back.

She sounded awful on Christina's song. I was surprised the judges praised her so much, but it's obvious they want her to go far -- or perhaps even to the finals.

why, dear god, why? it was obvious a couple of shows in, same with Lisa, that we had all been hoodwinked. they don't have the vocal stamina or range. same with Melissa. honestly, they all have something wrong with them that makes them NOT an American Idol. none of them have the total package, if you ask me.

[cliffdweller]

I agree it will be Bucky or Ace. Perhaps Ace, because next week is country, and that is Bucky's thing. But who knows.

Oh yeah, I forgot about country week. Bucky will sail through, so will Pickler. What will Chris sing? :laugh: I'm sure he'll yell something at us...

[Livia]

Country? Watch - Simon will tell Bucky he needs to branch out more and try something different... :rolleyes:

[GypsySorcerer]

Oh yeah, I forgot about country week. Bucky will sail through, so will Pickler. What will Chris sing? :laugh: I'm sure he'll yell something at us...

I could see him singing Hank, Jr., something like "Country Boys Can Survive."

Did you hear the rumor Pickler is dating Constantine? :lol:

[cliffdweller]

Country? Watch - Simon will tell Bucky he needs to branch out more and try something different... :rolleyes:

Bucky. Rich.

Was it just me, or was Simon being a total douchebag on performance night? Randy too, but then again, maybe they were sick of all the horrible performances. Man, the songs of the 21st century really blow.

The judges constant waffling on their advice is really starting to show and it looks BAD.

[cliffdweller]

Did you hear the rumor Pickler is dating Constantine? :lol:

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[SuzeQuze]

Oh yeah, I forgot about country week. Bucky will sail through, so will Pickler. What will Chris sing? :laugh: I'm sure he'll yell something at us...

Maybe he'll sing one of Kid Rock's country songs.

[DavidMn]

I just threw up in my mouth a little.No way!:laugh: Well, good for them I guess.:thumbsup:

[DavidMn]

I know I'm a little late with this, but I was really surprised by Katherine being in the bottom three.:confused:

[skcin]

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I just threw up on the floor. I? LOATHE Constantine. Look up "smarmy" in the dictionary & his picture is there.

I know I'm a little late with this, but I was really surprised by Katherine being in the bottom three.:confused:

Did you read anything posted on this thread in the past 2 days? Or did you watch on Tuesday? Because if you did either, you know that most of us thought she was way out of tune - that's why she ended up there. Pay attention! :laugh:

[jannieC]

Does anyone notice that Pickler looks different? Has she gained weight...what? We (hubby and I) can't figure out what it is about her that looks different.

And if she's dating Constantine? God. The best thing EVER:

YES! I can't figure it out either.

Well okay, at least we're not alone. :wavey:

[JazmenFlowers]

YES! I can't figure it out either.
I too have noticed this. Her face does look different. I didn't really notice anything figure-wise.

AND, did anyone catch the clip of her talking and she had on no makeup. Urmmm, why?

[cliffdweller]

Hmmm...that IS weird. Her face is different, perhaps a bit puffier, maybe it's how they're doing her makeup? :shrug:

NO! I know what it is: she's preggers with Con's baby! :laugh: Oh, if only it were true...

It looked like she didn't have her fake eyelashes on, which seemed to make a big difference.

[goldie]

PAULA!! You hurt me terribly with this comment!!! :)

As for Ace, I've got a feeling he's going to go next week...unless I can save him like I did this week. heheheh

I can't picture the boy doing country.

[BTFLCHLD]

I can't picture the boy doing country
no...but i can sure picture him in a cowboyhat and chaps :]

[SuzeQuze]

no...but i can sure picture him in a cowboyhat and chaps :]

YUMMY!!! I told my roommate I didn't want them to kick Ace off. She's like, "I didn't know you liked him." I said, "I don't but I'm not ready for that eye candy to go away!" :lol:

[wondergirl9847]

Ace just sang Keith Urban. Get me a bucket....NOW!! Bleck. Step away from KU songs, Ace. :mad:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Ace just sang Keith Urban. Get me a bucket....NOW!! Bleck. Step away from KU songs, Ace. :mad:

I KNOW!@#$@#$%#@

I turned it down so he wouldn't ruin such an emotional song for me.

[wondergirl9847]

Chris doing MMOU.....better than Ace, but only Keith can sing that song, IMO.

Pickle doing Fancy...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Ugh.

[DavidMn]

Chris doing MMOU.....better than Ace, but only Keith can sing that song, IMO.

Pickle doing Fancy...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Ugh.I havent see it yet. SO Kelllie wasnt good I take it?

[bikerchic]

I havent see it yet. SO Kelllie wasnt good I take it?
Oh, oh, where's Paula? :shocked: David, just pretend you saw it and pretend you know Kelly wasn't good ;) or you're goin get bitch slapped again :laugh:

[JazmenFlowers]

I just don't know how much more I can take...I can't even comment on this week. Chris was the best...but all were off. WTF was up with Taylor?

[skcin]

My picks:

Very good:
Chris
Katharine
Kellie


Good:
Mandisa
Paris
Elliot (shaky at first, but I liked it in general)

Awful:
Taylor
Ace
Bucky

Bucky deserves to go. If he can't do country well, then he needs to leave.

[AliceLover]

Ace just sang Keith Urban. Get me a bucket....NOW!! Bleck. Step away from KU songs, Ace. :mad:

That was a Keith Urban Song? I really liked it. Which cd was it from? Ill have to buy it. I loved the orchestra arrangement to the song.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Bucky deserves to go. If he can't do country well, then he needs to leave.

The sad part is, is that song is actually a pop song that was covered by a country singer. Why Bucky would do a pop song during country week (his "specialty") is beyond me?

[wondergirl9847]

That was a Keith Urban Song? I really liked it. Which cd was it from? Ill have to buy it. I loved the orchestra arrangement to the song.

Ace sang Tonight I Wanna Cry, which is on Keith's last album Be Here. Here is a link to see Keith's video for the song. It's the first one listed. I HIGHLY recommend watching Raining on Sunday too. YUM!!

Chris sang Making Memories of Us, which is a Rodney Crowell song, covered by Keith on Be Here. The video is at this link too.

I guess he's about as bright as The Pickle. I missed tonight's due to working late and hitting the gym. Damn gym. Sounds like I didn't miss much though, country isn't my favorite, and bad country - well, I'd rather have a hot poker in the eye. :eek: :lol:

You didn't miss a thing. I was looking for a knife to slit my wrists when I was watching. I can't stand country.

[gldstwmn]

Next week is Queen week. Should be interesting.

[GypsySorcerer]

Another lackluster week. Chris was my favorite -- kind of ironic that the "rocker" did so well on country week. Bucky was pretty bad. My guess is he'll go.

[jannieC]

I thought Katharine did pretty well, considering. And Chris was good, in spite of a boring song. Kellie's version of Fancy was horrible. I've heard better karaoke singers do it when I used to bartend. Paris??? :distress: Heinous.

The whole night was PAINFUL. I mean honestly, even the country singers sucked. I was so disappointed in Taylor. I was tempted to vote for him last night just b/c I'm afraid he'll get voted off after that performance and I don't want him to go.

But my main problem right now...what in the HELL happened to Kenny Rogers? If it weren't for the distinctive voice, I would never have known it was him. Has he had so much plastic surgery that he is now unrecognizable? I was totally shocked.

<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y111/JannieC/kenny.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a>

Sorry, but that's not who I saw on TV last night.

[Mageboy25]

THIS SHOW SUCKED!!!!! And I LOVEEE Country Music, grew up in Nashville. No one was really great, even Mandisa couldnt bring it off. Can we just erase tonight and forget about it? Im assuming Kenny had some type of eye lift a few years back, ???? The rest of the face doesnt look that tight, ??? Hard to tell on TV with makeup and lights. Plus you people will notice there were NO closeups of him really. The camera was always at least several feet back, even though they do EXTREME close ups of the Idol Singers. Im sure its in Kenny's contract that you can not film him that upclose, then we would see how bad he really looks in person. Celebs like Cher have the same contract rider agreements about lighting, and the distance of closeups. Also with Cher, they NEVER show the sides of her face. They are too pulled up! Watch her last movie Stuck On You. Everything is full on shots, nothing showing the sides of her face. Ok my rant is done....

Oh yeah, I LOVE Pickler to death. No she aint no Reba or Martina in regards to vocal range, neither is Shania or Gretchen, and those 2 have had biggers success in the past 10 years than Reba or Martina! Its not all about range after Idol.

That is EXACTLY what I said. he looks like a different guy. just awful. not that he was a stud before, but his lines and droopy eyes gave him character. now he just looks like a generic white haired guy.


Last night i thought Katherine was okay...maybe Kellie too although i hated the song, i hate country in general. Taylor was an embarrassment. but bucky should go before him.

-Lis

[cliffdweller]

I so wanted Taylor to do well, but he really just came out flat on that song. He has a great vocal quality but sometimes he just doesn't carry through and that's a shame. I don't want him to go yet either.

I thought Kellie did a good job, so did Katherine and Chris. Bucky really disapointed!

I can't believe Simon trashed everyone but Paris! Paris was horribly boring last night, HORRIBLY boring, and I'm sick of that song!

Mandisa was alright, but you can tell she's not comfortable singing this kind of stuff, same with Elliott, but I thought he did alright.

[GypsySorcerer]

I can't believe Simon trashed everyone but Paris! Paris was horribly boring last night, HORRIBLY boring, and I'm sick of that song!


I know! Paris was awful -- horribly out of key. Every time she tried to hit the note on "survive," I cringed.

[skcin]

Next week is Queen week. Should be interesting.


Are you serious? :shocked: Should be dreadful is more like it. I'm scared.

[JazmenFlowers]

omg. me too.

what.are.they.thinking?

There are FEW in the world who can cover Queen - FM's voice was one of a kind. Though, I must say, Annie Lenox did a fab job with Bowie in "Under Pressure" - then again AL has one of the better voices of our time :shrug:

Also, Queen's songs tend to be very theatrical and long - so it will be interesting to see if they truncate them.

exactly!

I just don't see really any of them being able to pull it off. As much as I like a couple of them, they are no FM or AL. They should stick to genres instead of specific artists.

[golden braid]

I didn't even recognize Kenny. I wouldn't have known it was him if they didn't say anything.

As for the rest of the show, no one was very good last night. Chris is still one of my favs and I think it was good that he did a different kind of song but it was boring.

[cliffdweller]

I just don't see really any of them being able to pull it off.

Paris, Mandisa, and Chris should be able to do something interesting with Queen.

Katherine and Elliott: iffy

Bucky, Taylor, Ace and Pickle: Look, no.

One will be going home tonight though, I hope it's Ace.

[skcin]

A coworker said next week is rock? lemme see if anything up on the website yet....

[skcin]

Sweet Jesus. It IS Queen. :( How can they ruin these songs? I can't even begin to count the ways.

OK, if Mandisa does "Fat Bottom Girls" she will forever be my hero & I will vote for her 100 times. Seriously. :nod:

[cliffdweller]

According to http://www.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/Predictions.asp Mandisa or Elliot will be leaving tonight. I hope they're wrong. :(

[skcin]

According to http://www.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/Predictions.asp Madis or Elliot will be leaving tonight. I hope they're wrong. :(


I' be so pissed. :mad:

Using my patented "try to vote for everyone once to see who you can get through for" method, 35 minutes after the east coast show I was unable to get through for Taylor (ugh), the pickle & Chris, with some difficulty getting through for Katharine & Mandisa. No problems at all for the rest of them.

By 10, the pickle & Chris were the only 2 lines still busy.


I think Ace, Bucky & Elliot may be bottom 3, with mandisa as a shocker.

I personally would prefer it to be Ace, Bucky & Taylor, based on this week's performances. And I really think Bucky might go.

[Sorceress]

One will be going home tonight though, I hope it's Ace.

Eek! I accidentally voted for Ace! I had to vote extra for Chris and Katharine to cover for my mistake. I thought Chris was really good this week. As much as I hate to say it, Kellie wasn't horrible. No one else really cut it. I did vote once or twice for Paris and Taylor, just because I don't want them to go yet. I couldn't bring myself to vote for Mandisa though, even though she is usually really good. Last night and the week before totally dampened my enthusiam for her.

[JazmenFlowers]

Last night and the week before totally dampened my enthusiam for her.
me too. she's still my favorite I just wonder if she's as good as I initially thought. if she's out, then I'd root for Chris.

[Nixxxed]

I was gonna comment on all this last night, but the show was so awful I couldn't bring myself to do so.

Just a few things, however:

1. Why do the judges blast singers covering well-known pop artists for "running the risk of comparison", yet it's perfectly OK for Pickle to sing "Fancy" exactly like Reba. Not as good as Reba, but she didn't "make the song her own" or anything even close.

2. Simon busting Ryan with the Desperate Housewives jab was my fave exchange ever (especially considering the pics that came out last week). It's just sad that the judges are more entertaining than the singers.

3. Do you think Kenny Rogers owns Botox stock?

4. WHO LET MANDISA ONSTAGE WEARING THAT TOP? We should nominate her for What Not To Wear so she can learn about the dangers of horizontal stripes AND halter tops on full-figured ladies.

5. If Katharine doesn't win, how long before she hits the strip-club circuit? Her "act" is already at least 50% Gypsy Rose Lee with all the hip stroking and wiggling.

I couldn't agree with you more. You read my mind.

Poor Mandiva. She is so gorgeous, but it looked like they took a damn floormat and made a top for her. She needs to stick to simple patters, if any pattern at all.

I didn't think Katharine was all that great. Of course, that's not my favorite Faith Hill song either, but she sounded very shrill to me and it was one of those songs that you either like or don't like...

[dissention]

OK, if Mandisa does "Fat Bottom Girls" she will forever be my hero & I will vote for her 100 times. Seriously. :nod:

Considering Mandisa hates teh gays, I'm shocked she'd agree to singing a Freddie Mercury song. Good thing he's dead or else she'd try to sick Beth Moore on his ass.

[Nixxxed]

I just read on Best Week Ever blog that Teri Hatcher says she and Ryan are definitely NOT an item and were never actually dating.

Which makes Simon's comment even funnier. :lol:

[JazmenFlowers]

Considering Mandisa hates teh gays, I'm shocked she'd agree to singing a Freddie Mercury song. Good thing he's dead or else she'd try to sick Beth Moore on his ass.

Looks like I'll be looking for a new favorite Idol, although I should have been tipped off about Mandisa's god squad'in early on when she "forgave" Simon for basically calling her a fat ass, and then sang that gospel song a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the reality check Diss.

I'm sure Diss knows more than I do, but Beth Moore believes "older" lesbians and Satan seek out young women/girls to "turn" them into lesbians.

The bitch also acts a fool when she "teaches" - she is very animated.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I guess I'm moving to Chris to get all my support.


Maybe Pickler? I doubt she knows what being gay means. :wavey:


The only few I see being remotely gay friendly are Paris and Katharine (maybe Elliot). Ace is too in the closet to like gay people at the moment.

Ace

she just shouldn't have done Any Man Of Mine.. but she shouldn't have left tonight! The fake, plastic and sappy Ace should have been the one to leave tonight (actually the first week..)

[Mageboy25]

****k this ****! Mandisa was my favorite besides Pickler. You know Paris is just TICKELED PINK that her competition is gone.

[skcin]

I really liked her a lot, but her performances have not been great 2 weeks in a row. Plus her song choices sucked lately. Simon's right - pick a **** song, people won't like it no matter how good you are. :wavey:

[cliffdweller]

Why oh why is Ace still in this competition?

I feel torn about Mandisa now, I will give her this, girl can sing, she just chose the wrong song for herself. She has an amazing vocal ability and she chose THAT song? That song does not even begin to scratch the surface of what she's capable of.

But she blessed me last night and for that, I'm glad she's gone. I don't need 2nd hand blessings from Jesus. Thanks, but no thanks :rolleyes:.

[Sorceress]

You know Paris is just TICKELED PINK that her competition is gone.

Most of the contestants looked pretty happy last night after Mandisa was sent packing. They probably ALL were all jumping up and down inside, knowing the best singer will not be around to take any of their votes.

In memory of her, I just want to say how funny it was to me when after she finished her gospel song last week Paula and Ryan were talking about "worshipping at the church of Mandisa." She shook her head like "no, no, no..." They totally didn't get that she was SERIOUS with that song. She wanted the glory to go Jesus, not Mandisa. :lol:

[jannieC]

I was surprised, because I just can't figure out how Bucky is hanging in there. Mandisa did suck the Shania song, but she definitely deserved more time than some of the others.

Ace is still there because he is cheesy cute, and a lot of people go for that. I am not one of them. He reminds me of Kip Winger- remember him? The whole "pretty boy" thing that I just don't like.

[SuzeQuze]

Sweet Jesus. It IS Queen. :( How can they ruin these songs? I can't even begin to count the ways.

OK, if Mandisa does "Fat Bottom Girls" she will forever be my hero & I will vote for her 100 times. Seriously. :nod:

Omigod, that would rock, "We make the rockin world go round!"

...

Bye Mandisa! At least Jesus voted for you. :xoxo:

Oops, I should've read along further, I guess she won't be singing "Fat Bottom Girls" after all. After what Diss informed us of, well then good.

Hey, Mandissa, Jesus loves gays!

...

Here's my theory on this one, because she is pretty in the classic "all American" blonde, skinny sense and that creates a bias. Unfortunately the judges aren't self-aware enough to overcome it, especially Simon. He's very biased when he finds a girl attractive. He loves the thin, sexy black women especially. Is it just me that's noticed this? He also has a pathological prejudice against overweight people.

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!

[DavidMn]

I read in our morning paper how this critic says it was about time Mandisa was gone because the american public doesnt want to see fat people on a show like that, meaning only hotties like Kellie with good bodies should be on AI. I thought to myself "What about Ruben?" Reading on this critic said Ruben may have won, but his career has gone nowhere since then. I mean, are we THAT obsessed with how people look? I know I'm overweight, maybe I'll just find this guy and sit on him....:rolleyes:

He reminds me of Kip Winger- remember him? The whole "pretty boy" thing that I just don't like.


"She's only seventeen

her daddy says she's too young
but she's old enough for me!"

You just made me vomit, thanks Janet! :(

Yeah, I think most people really ARE that obsessed about how celebrities look. Weird, since the majority of the U.S. population is overweight or obese. :shrug:

I personally don't think that was it, though. I really think she's just been picking bad songs lately, and she really hasn't blown me away since the first week or two. The whole in-your-face Jesus stuff may have turned some off as well.

I was surprised, because I just can't figure out how Bucky is hanging in there. Mandisa did suck the Shania song, but she definitely deserved more time than some of the others.

Ace is still there because he is cheesy cute, and a lot of people go for that. I am not one of them. He reminds me of Kip Winger- remember him? The whole "pretty boy" thing that I just don't like.WHat about the guy that was the lead singer of Cinderella?:rolleyes:

At least she made it this far. A fat white chick would have been kicked off the first week.

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.
