American Idol: Season 6

[BlackWidow]

This show is being so self-important with the "Idol Gives Back" thing. :rolleyes: Oh, who am I kidding....they're always self-important (And I always watch.) :lol:

I missed Melinda and Timberfake, but Timberfake's clip during the recap sounded awful. I wasn't overly impressed with anyone tonight (perhaps Melinda had I seen her). The judges overpraised Jordin's performance. She screeched her way through that song. :shocked:

The judges have so turned on LaKisha....:nod:
They are so giving Jordin their blessing.

[Richard B]

I think everyone can agree that not everyone can have good taste. Now put 'good taste' into the hands of millions of Americans and you're probably going to get a ****ty Idol winner.

Last night was truly pathetic. What a tedious show focused on Idol Giving Back. Much more of a Idol gives sponshorship a whole new meaning. How self sanctimonious can you get. Yikes. Poor Simon crying about how horrible it is in Africa. He really needs to get out more. I've known about the plight of the poor since I was 7 and not just in Africa. So Idol pulled at your heartstrings and urged you to vote for 4 hours. I can barely vote for 2 minutes, let alone 4 hours. Besides Idol wasn't footing the bill, but another corporate company.

With all this in mind, we just new we would be presented with one ballad after another. Well almost.

Chris R starts off singing a up tempo love song, off key and all over the place. Looking even more inbred and singing even worse. All I could think was where is Sanjaya? Sanjaya left last week so I had to endure yet another lousy performance from Chris. He needs to go.

Now the ballads begin. Melinda was good, very good. I realized last night that she does have a neck!

Blake is no Lennon, but he did have conviction and tried to make it his own. Which for the most part he did, but I wondered...where are his lips? He doesn't have any. Randy gave his idiotic comment about wanting more. WTF? Did he want beatbox? The song is not meant to be fast or have a useless crescendo of musical glory notes to make you think they're a good singer. Randy go home and hire a stylist. Your shirts are lame.

LaKisha looked perty. She may have picked a Fantasia song, but hell, I never heard it and will never hear it again. I did get goosebumps as I do with LaKisha. Not sure why the judges have been so mean to her recently other than to try to get America to agree and send her home. I hope it backfires.

Bat Boy delivers another frightening performance. He is just eerie. But then I think I'm starting to like it. But his speech before his song should garner him those sympathy votes. Good work, Bat Boy/Nosferatu.

And lastly Jordin. She sounded horrible. She frogged her voice early on and it was crap for the rest of the song. My ears felt like they were gong to bleed as she wailed towards the end. Ouch! Stop! It hurts! It hurts! Of course the Judges creamed their pants. They even mentioned that song could be a hit song. Huh? WTF? What Top 10 chart have you been listening to?

I really don't know why I do this to myself. I need to stop watching a show that appeals to the lowest common denominator. For the entire show last night, I really missed Sanjaya. He made the show so likeable. Now there is just a big void.

I'll be passing on the 2 hour results show. It will be pure hell and schmaltzy. Does anyone really need to hear Celine Dion singing with Elvis? Not such a big surprise, is it now AI?

[skcin]

^ I agree with much of what you posted, especially the part about Idol Gives Back. I could barely stop myself from rolling my eyes every 3 minutes. Simon had no idea there were hungry people just minutes from where he lives? :rolleyes: Good God.

Lakesha was off, IMO, esp. at the beginning. Timing, key, everything. She was OK for the rest, but I felt nothing. That song does suck, btw. But at least with Fantasia I felt like she meant what she was singing it.

I loved Jordin last night, I didn't find her screechy at all. I sped throught Phil (I love you Tivo! :xoxo: ) but he did OK from what I bothered to watch. Melinda was fantastic, no surprise there - but I hated the dress again. And a woman without a neck should not be wearing choker necklaces. Chris sucked, enough with the vocal inflections every 5 milliseconds for f*ck's sake. Blake was good - but I fear some may find it boring.

I hope Chris is out tonight, but I worry about Lakesha & Blake. :( When I called last night, I had some difficulty getting through for Melinda & Jordin, but that was it.

Sabres game's on tonight, so I'll be setting the Tivo again for Idol. :D At least I'll be able to skip past the crappy parts, lol.

[GypsySorcerer]

^^ According to DialIdol, Chris is going home, with LaKisha as the other in the bottom two. Last season, their predictions toward the end of the season were pretty much on target.

[ontheEdgeof17]

^Those are my predictions, too. :nod:


Tonight's show will be buzzkill. Feed the children...dash a person's hope.....

[jannieC]

I'm such a sap because I totally bought into the whole thing. The Simon in the U.S. thing was ridiculous, but the Africa segments kind of moved me. :shrug: I can believe that going to Africa, even with the knowledge of their plight, would overwhelm me.

I really like Jordan- she has actually made me a bit teary twice (not that you'd notice by looking at me, it's more of an inward tear). I think I'm just teary in general lately because I was actually *crying* at the end of House last night. :rolleyes:

[michelle2677]

^^^ dude, me too. omg. i never watch that show, but when his mom said "my boy's name is eric" I sobbed. it was SO sad :(

I didn't watch AI last night, but I'm pissed it's a 2 hour deal tonight.

[michelle2677]

on the same part??

YES..omg.....just...omg lol


and that poor girl!! so sad :distress:

[jannieC]

That part and when Foreman was talking to the dying girl about how he felt like he didn't belong where he was and that he felt that he could be sent "back" at any time. Then going to his mother for support and all that. Jesus, it was rough.

Oh and as far as American Idol goes...Annie Lennox is absolutely incredible.

[Sorceress]

Lame lame lame! Everyone's safe? Oh brother. I think that really Melinda or Jordin would have been voted off, so the producers decided to add the results to next week's in hopes that Chris, Phil, or Lakisha will go instead. It's rigged, rigged, I tell you! :D

I don't think you're a sap at all! :xoxo: Seeing the kids & hearing about their plight gets to me too. It's the staged "OK, pick that kid up, now sing to him. OK, we're done. let's move on" PR photo opp crap that bugs me. When Seacrest was patting the Kenyan boy on the back, telling him "It's OK, man, it's OK. Let it out, it'll be OK." DUDE! No it's NOT OK! His parents are dead & he lives in a 1 room mud house! ARGH! :mad: I was impressed & happy that he spoke English, and was going to school.

I was less impressed with the Kids from kentucky (that's right, Michelle) that could barely speak English. I feel bad for them, but I find it hard to swallow when they're saying there's no money for lunch & all the kids (and toothless mom - that's right, Michelle) were quite overweight & wearing Starter jackets. :o I'm trying not to judge, but have to admit those thoughts do enter my mind. Oh well, at least they can read.


Wow. Annie's version of Bridge Over Troubled Water kicked ass. :shocked:


Meh. I wanted to like but, but I didn't. I don't know why, cuz I usually like Annie.




OK. So. Didn't care that they didn't vote anyone off, to be honest. I mean, really, how were they going to do that after a night of charity & giving back? :laugh: The Ford commercial with all the celebs dancing to Stayin' Alive was stupid. I literally did NOT recognize Teri Hatcher - she looked bizarre. Earth Wind & Fire were kickass. I hate Rascall Flatts. Celine w/ Elvis was wrong on so many levels - it was bizarre, creepy, unnatural, etc. It literally scared me a couple times. *shiver* Leave the poor man dead in the ground please.

Kelly Clarkson? OMG, fan****ingtastic! "Up To the Mountain" is a Patty Griffin tune, it's on her new album! I was thrilled. Kelly oversang it in 1 or 2 spots, but generally I loved it. I wonder if it will be on Kelly's new album, or if she just did it on a whim. Hmmmmm.....I thought she looked beautiful, but unfortunately all the comments about her weight will probably overshadow her spectacular performance. :distress:




Finally. I have to ask. Where & when did Paula get them titties? :shocked:

[Beachwood Mac]

When I saw that segment, I groaned. Kentucky's reputation is bad enough as it is, and that kind of exposure only fuels the stereotyping.

I do feel for the kids. Many of my students are first-generation college students and/or from underprivileged backgrounds. They are vulnerable and many are not supported (emotionally, not just financially) by their parents. There is a significant population here that discourages education. Sad, but true. Some families are concerned that education will make their kids "too big for their britches" and that "they'll forget where they came from." That kind of stuff.

As for the overweight thing, I believe it is related to economics. It's cheaper to buy off of the dollar menu at McDonald's than to cook a healthy meal. Sad state of affairs.

[Lisa1769]

Thats sad. You would think their parents would want their kids to have a better education and bring themselves out of poverty.

The beginning was uncomfortable, but she tore it up once she stood up.

She was the best part of the whole show! (Although if I closed my eyes, Carrie Underwood did a good vocal on I'll Stand by You) I wonder if Kelly is pregnant? She looks pregnant to me, not fat. Either way, she was fabulous and looked beautiful,

The ending was better, I'll give her that. And I don't think Kelly's knocked up - the Star or some rag ran some pics of her recently & it looked like she's put on some weight. I think she's gorgeous too - and that VOICE!

this is the exact reason I feel the way I do about welfare. I KNOW there are poverty stricken people that honestly need the help. But around here it's people who are spitting out about 8 kids so they can get more money. They are driving nicer cars than I am and roll into the grocery-pack the cart with name brand GARBAGE and I'm hoping I don't bounce the check I'm going to write to buy a tv dinner :laugh: oh, neither parent works, and they drop their kids off at the public pool (aka-cheapest babysitting service in town) so they can go do whatever the hell it is they do. It is SO common in this area. We have homeless people, but it's their decision. there are plenty of places to go, but they don't want to go. This one guy named ...hell..i dunno his name-they call him "crack". mostly because he shows his ass crack all the time, but he just sleeps in the park and harrasses the people that go use the public restrooms IN the park. that is..if he's not harrassing you with his ass-crack :laugh:

I also meant to add that a few of the "skits" they showed were very funny. Jack Black was hilarious and the Stayin' Alive thingie was cute.

The jury is still out...

[skcin]

The link wouldn't work for me - what's the deal?

[skcin]

^ Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[jannieC]

Oh man, Jordin was a mess!

Here's my recap:

Phil- surprisingly good. I can't stand him, so for me to be able to compliment him at all is a big deal. I was actually pissed he did so well because I'm sure it will keep him another week and that means I have to continue to look at him.

Jordin- oy. Everything about that performance was so painful- her look, her stage presence and her voice was all off and uncomfortable to watch.

Lakisha- awesome.

Blake- interesting. I didn't want to like it, but I kind of did.

Chris- *yawn*

Melinda- meh.

Bonjovi- I love him. LOVE him and always have. He's my free pass. :cool:

[Livia]

^^^ I agree -but I really liked Melinda tonight - am I going to hell cuz every time I look at her, all I can think of is Shrek? :sorry:

[GypsySorcerer]

I was anticipating rock songs instead of all Bon Jovi stuff, but whatever. LMAO at Simon's fake tan. :lol:

Phil - Yuck. He gets creepier by the week, and coupled with his screaming, he was nearly unwatchable.

Jordin - Double yuck. Everything was bad - the look, the hair (!), the vocal, the performance.

LaKisha - I thought she did a wonderful job. It may not be enough to keep her around, however.

Blake - Interesting. I thought his actual singing this week was better than the past few shows.

Chris - Egad. He is definitely going home.

Melinda - Not her best performance, but she is one of the best singers they've had during AI's entire run.

Shrub and Laura - Get off TV screen. :mad: Effing News Corp.

As I said, I think Chris is leaving. The other slot is wide open - probably LaKisha or Phil.

[JazmenFlowers]

I liked everyone except Jordin. and her little "rec'gnize" bit made me :rolleyes:

my husband, Blake, was fabulous. work it baby.

I think Chris and Lakisha or Phil will go home. There's no way Jordin's going home. she secured herself last week.

[Richard B]

I don't like Bon Jovi. They were fun for about 5 minutes in the 80's. But it was very fluff/pop/sugar and hardly true rockers.

So I was dreading last night. I was somewhat entertained though in the end. Jon Bon Jovi had a lot of make-up on.

Bat Boy Phil: Yuck. It was truly eerie as usual, but then comical when he tried to pose as a rocker and be cool. He's not. He was real scary at the end with his face all pickled up and looking so fugly. Go home, the daylight is coming.

Jordin: LOL. Go home and take those weird hair things out. Those colored wisps looked like you had straw and tree branches in there.

LaKisha: I worried about the black girls. Black girls are not rockers but LaKisha sold me. She was very good and needs to stay put.

Blake: Rock on. That was pretty cool. I wanted to hate it, but when it was over I wanted to see it again. Blake is the underdog. See you next week, buddy.

Chris R: Ugh. He looked even more inbred and some of those facial expressions made him look seriously demented or constipated. Either way, take your **** and go home. Leave now.

Melinda: Yea, baby! Rock it up and grind with the guitarist. She's my girl and I'll you next week.

So 4 hours of the line being open and I managed to not make 1 call. I hope I don't regret it. I know, every vote counts. Yea, it counts but does it matter? No.

So let's hope we see Phil, Jordan and Chris go home. Wait only 2?? OK, 2 of them need to go. If it's anyone else, well then America sucks. Hehe.

Oh and the Bush plug was seriously disturbing. Even when the're joking, they have to read the teleprompter. Mrs. Bush looks like an alien.

Enjoy your week, Ledgies!!!

[JazmenFlowers]

I know...what the hell was up with that?

she had to even read the "darling" part...if they wanted to really make us warm and fuzzy they could've said "we're bringing the troops home"

Love the new hair too.:nod:

[SuzeQuze]

Melinda rocked it, she's my fave. I like Blake's black hair. I think the Chris hate is a little extreme! But he's at the bottom in terms of talent, IMO. He and Phil. I did not see all of the performances though so cannot chime in on all. Go Melinda!

What she said. :laugh: I hope that Chris & Phil go home, but I worry about Lakisha. Jordin was horrific this week (why, oh why, did they not have her do a slow burning acoustic version of Living on a Prayer instead of that ****ty karaoke cover version?) but she deserves to stay in. Blake was my fave - I loved it.

And what was the thing Laura said about everyone already seeing Bush dance? :shrug: Wtf does that mean? God, I hate him.

Anyone else notice that Paula's shirt had a collar up to her chin this week? :laugh:

I also hope Phil & Chris go home. The reason "they" did not have her do a slow burn is because the singer chooses the arrangement. Jon BJ looked terribly annoyed with her. Jordin is not very good with anything other than ballads and even with ballads, I can not stand stomach her. She makes my puppy ****.

Do you like the black hair? I'm not a fan. It's not terrible, but I think he's cuter as a blond.

nope. I hate it. I'm hoping he goes back.

[Richard B]

Look out Lakisha. Blake will get all the boy votes now, so you're on thin ice - unless Jordin blows it as badly as she did this past week.

Blake could be the underdog and win the damn thing if he stays original. Next up is Disco, so the black girls can nail it. Jordin needs to go home next though. I really do no not like her cutesy, sugar vomit. Save it for Disney's Tomorrowland. She can rise up from that platform stage. That's where she belongs.

At this point, any of these 3 (no Jordin) can easily still get a record deal regardless of winning the AI top spot. At this point, they have a huge fan base and incredible talent.

I agree 100%. Imagine hearing an entire concert of just him. That's one of the ways I grade the Idols. Can I listen to them for more than one hour at a time? 2 mins is not a good judge of a singer. Phil and Chris were just plain bad.

I watched American Idol for the first time ever on Tuesday night while flying on Jet Blue. All I have to say is whoever sang "Have A Nice Day" is fricking awesome and I would pay top dollar to see her in concert. She is totally Tina Turner to me and knows how to mix rock with soul.

I hope she wins whoever she is.

No one in particular. Just not Jordin (no minors allowed). Sorry, but I no longer enjoy the show since Sanjaya is gone, although I was really sad that Antonella was gone. It should have been Antonella instead of Haley.

Honestly, the only singers that always give me goosebumps are Melinda and LaKisha.

As I said in an earlier post, it really doesn't matter who wins. I see recording contracts for these top 4 regardless of who wins the top spot.

Did you hear that Sanjaya made Time Magazines Most Influential People of The Year? He did, coming in at #3.

they wer all horrid last night. I almost liked Blake. I like his beatboxing, but he really displayed his limited range last night. I don't care who wins at this point as long as it isn't Jordin. how dare she attempt to tackle Barbra. :cool:

oh wait. we're talking about 2 different things. you mean the taped clip with Barry Gibb. I meant the overview clips at the end of the show. they always sound different to me.

[GypsySorcerer]

What a horrid show. It seems like I say that every week, but this one was the worst. :lol:

I thought the judges were a *little* hard on Blake. They usually deem him "hip and "contemporary," and now the beatboxing is "getting old"? Ha ha.

I agree with Jazzy - why did Jordin take on Barbra? :distress:

[Richard B]

Last night was just plain awful and I'm not inspired to drill them down. Although Melinda's second song gave me goosebumps that started in my arm then ran down my legs to my toes. So that was a nice touch, thanks Melinda!

Poor LaKisha. She's in trouble and her wardrobe was terrible.

[mikeschmike]

It really was an awful sight. Melinda was the best, but it wasn't close to what she's capable of doing. I think people have lost their patience with Blake...at least I have. Kind of a one trick pony, you know?

That said, he'll stick around. I think Lakisha is going bye bye tonight unfortunately. I suspect she'll get a record deal or something from this. Given the right song, she can sing her ass off.

Jazzy, ITA with you on the songs sounding different when they run through them at the end of the show. I wonder if they do retakes or something?

[Sorceress]

I am usually one to vote, but last night I was not inspired to vote for anyone. Jordin's first song gave me goosebumps, and yes, the second half of Melinda's second song. Otherwise, meh.
I agree, Blake's schtick is wearing a little thin, though I thought the second song was not as bad as the judges said it was. And I didn't think Lakesha's first was as bad as they said either. Oh well.

[skcin]

^ What Mike said. Most boring show ever. :rolleyes: I didn't bother to vote either, Sorceress.


I'm annoyed with this whole theme week thing - they've sucked this season. They used to leave it wide open - country, 80's music, oldies, etc. Now it's too specific. I didn't need to hear 8 Gibb tunes; same goes for Bon Jovi week. WTF. Make it a disco week, not only Gibb songs. Make it 80's music (or hair bands - that would be hilariously bad, but entertaining) instead of Bon Jovi only. Make it current Top 40, or "this week on the charts back in such&such a year." Argh.

I third that. The producers must have thought that having bigger stars as "mentors" meant a better show--and probably they lured these mentors by appealing to their giagantic egos. They probably made some licensing deal too--in exchange for publicity, Idol wouldn't have to pay (at as much or at all) to use the songs. There are so many much better songs I'd love to hear these people singing!

It's all promotion and marketing. I think almost every mentor artist promoted a new album or something. If not, well more awareness.

That is true...the thing at the end, when they show recaps, is from the dress rehearsal. They say it it because they do not have time to put together the montage and edit, after the live performances, before the show ends. I guess it would be kind of hard considering the last performer goes, they show the recaps with the numbers, and the show is over. The performer does the same exact thing, so I guess it is not dishonest. It's just they sound slightly more refreshed during the DR. :lol: I remember one time last season, Bo was throwing his mic around in the recap montage and I had just watched him perform, where he tossed his mic the OTHER way. I was a bit confused. :shocked: That is when I read that they put all the clips together from the dress rehearsal.

LaKeisha sucks, Blake is ok, Jordin...meh ......I still am bothered by Melinda's lack of a neck.... but, the girl can sing. :lol:

[BlackWidow]

ba bye LaKesha (dead behind the eyes)....lol.

[JazmenFlowers]

in all honesty, I prefer LaKisha's voice over everyone's. there's just something about it that I like. it's got a great fluidity and it's fragile and strong at the same time...similar to Martha Wash.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

I've had to work late this whole week and totally missed the show. The radio stations are really making fun of Barry Gibb's appearance Did he really look that bad?

They said that the Bee Gee songs were too hard for the contestants to sing.

Then they were laughing about Barry's gray hair and made fun of the shirt he was wearing...saying that it was see-through and that his appearance was enough to scare small children! :eek:

Was it that bad?

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^
it wasn't great. he did look odd, but he's had a lot of bad luck and bad health lately. I didn't think he looked that bad, I mean, he's old...his gray hair didn't bother me, but what he wore was atrocious. horrid. I'd fire at least 3 people over it. and for some reason, his upper lip area scared the bejesus out of me.

during his meetings with the contestants he kept leaning on the piano and the shirt he had on hugged his waist and lordy...it put his "spare tire" on prominent display. again...I'd fire at least 3 people for insubordination. :lol:

you can probably catch a couple clips on YouTube.

[Tee Dee]

Hmmm... That's what they said (referring to his upper lip) that he looked like his teeth were either bothering him or he had some sort of lip cancer or something. Then they mentioned that he has had some health issues :shrug: but that the shirt was downright awful and inappropriate for a man his age....and that one could see the chest hairs through the shirt...whatever THAT means. :shrug: I wanna find a replay of the show.

Barry has a bad back and had back surgery years ago. He also suffers from arthritis in his hands too. You willl notice that if you see him in videos playing the guitar and he has a hand brace on.

It was probably his beautiful wife, Linda, who picked out that shirt. He has several of them so perhaps, she likes him to wear those and he does look good for a 60 year old man.

We all get older:nod: Just remember that;) Appreciate your good health now because you may not have it later on.

[JazmenFlowers]

like I said, he's had issues lately. and I don't care how beautiful his wife is, the shirt was gross. he should kick her ass for choosing it. she likes him to wear shirts that aren't flattering, tuck them in and show off his cameltoe?

again, you either misunderstood or missed the part where I said, he's old, what do you expect, but that he looked ok and sounded ok, considering. pointing out the obvious (that someone is old) doesn't mean I don't appreciate my health. and is he only 60? wow.

all in all, my point is...soundwise? ok, fine, good enough. appearance? someone shoulda helped him.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be an ass or argumentative. I just realized that I probably sound that way. I was just addressing your points.

[Michelle Daya]

i agree with everything you said. i liked the b. gibb thing. he had some good songs. he didn't look bad either. he was a hottie back in the day but he's older now, probably settled down completely & has earned the right to wear whatever the hell he wants. djs are just rude & always looking for someone to pick on :distress:

i only disagree with blake. that thing he did with you should be dancing was just wrong. he sounded like a machine gun & no that is not a good thing. i liked jordin's first song. very pretty.

& no i am not a bee gees or b. gibb fan. just think it's rude to make fun of someone like that & the guy is a target. he's on ai, his voice isn't as strong & he's aging. i give him props for showing up at all probably knowing he'd get dissed :nod:

liked lakeesha but glad she went home. love melinda & hope she wins. she is hella consistent & deserves to. blake, go home next.

He doesn't wear dentures. Caps, but not dentures.

So, he can't possibly have gotten dentures? The way he was speaking & moving his mouth seems to point to new dentures, or a set that doesn't fit properly. I don't remember him speaking that way before. I'm not making fun at all, it was just an observation.

like I said, he's had issues lately. and I don't care how beautiful his wife is, the shirt was gross. he should kick her ass for choosing it. she likes him to wear shirts that aren't flattering, tuck them in and show off his cameltoe?

again, you either misunderstood or missed the part where I said, he's old, what do you expect, but that he looked ok and sounded ok, considering. pointing out the obvious (that someone is old) doesn't mean I don't appreciate my health. and is he only 60? wow.

all in all, my point is...soundwise? ok, fine, good enough. appearance? someone shoulda helped him.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be an ass or argumentative. I just realized that I probably sound that way. I was just addressing your points.


Have you seen Myspace profile? OF course, I am a Barry and Stevie fan, probably as much as you are a Barbra Streisand or Stevie fan:xoxo: :D

OK, the shirt wasn't that great but his wife probably did pick out that shirt and I doubt he would kick her A&&:laugh:

The guy is 60 years old. Of course, he is an OLD Bee Gees:laugh:

Love ya, Jazzy.............. even though we disagree on this subject:)

[CelticGypsy]

So, he can't possibly have gotten dentures? The way he was speaking & moving his mouth seems to point to new dentures, or a set that doesn't fit properly. I don't remember him speaking that way before. I'm not making fun at all, it was just an observation.


I have heard from other fans that Barry and his late brother, Maurice do have caps. To me, he sounds the same as he has in the last 10 or 15 years. Very much like our Stevie, Bary does sounds older and different than he did when he was in his 20's and 30's.

[skcin]

^ No, I don't mean his vocal range, I mean the way he pronounces words & moves his mouth when he speaks. There's a hissing sound & it's awkward looking at times. Caps don't do that, as far as I'm aware. I don't really care if Barry Gibb's teeth are capped or fake though, so never mind. :laugh: I heard it mentioned several times in the last few days from others so I know it's not just me. Sorry I mentioned it.

[CelticGypsy]

i agree with everything you said. i liked the b. gibb thing. he had some good songs. he didn't look bad either. he was a hottie back in the day but he's older now, probably settled down completely & has earned the right to wear whatever the hell he wants. djs are just rude & always looking for someone to pick on :distress:

i only disagree with blake. that thing he did with you should be dancing was just wrong. he sounded like a machine gun & no that is not a good thing. i liked jordin's first song. very pretty.

& no i am not a bee gees or b. gibb fan. just think it's rude to make fun of someone like that & the guy is a target. he's on ai, his voice isn't as strong & he's aging. i give him props for showing up at all probably knowing he'd get dissed :nod:

liked lakeesha but glad she went home. love melinda & hope she wins. she is hella consistent & deserves to. blake, go home next.


Thank you so much. Barry doesn't deserve being a target. As a fan of the Brothers Gibb, it was wonderful to see Barry on the show. He's pretty much a homebody, takes care of his family so it's rare to see him performing in public anymore.

[BlackWidow]

I read his blog yesterday...he was super nervous and tremendously relieved afterwards. I think he did great. I really like his new site. Well, the site is new to me as I recall visiting the brothersgibb site mostly.

:distress: :distress: :distress:

[gldstwmn]

I've had to work late this whole week and totally missed the show. The radio stations are really making fun of Barry Gibb's appearance Did he really look that bad?

They said that the Bee Gee songs were too hard for the contestants to sing.

Then they were laughing about Barry's gray hair and made fun of the shirt he was wearing...saying that it was see-through and that his appearance was enough to scare small children! :eek:

Was it that bad?

I didn't think it was that bad. Besides, the man has nothing to be ahsamed of. He's written a ton of hit songs, is a great lyricist and produced some of the greatest artists of all time. I mean, cut the guy some slack, he's 61 years old. I dare anyone that makes fun of him to get out there and do what he's doing or accomplish a tenth of what he's done in his career. Plus those harmonies that he created on the Bee Gees songs were flawless and incredible second only to maybe Brian Wilson's harmonies for the Beach Boys.
The guy has lived a life that most of us could only dream of but people have to go ahead and bag on him so that they can feel better about their pitiful selves for a few minutes. Whatever.

[gldstwmn]

We all get older:nod: Just remember that;) Appreciate your good health now because you may not have it later on.

Spot on. :angel:

[gldstwmn]

he sounded ok, but he didn't look great. :shrug: he didn't look awful either. he looked like an old Bee Gee. plain and simple.


I'm just wondering, will you be doing your Jazmen Flowers drag act at 61?

[gldstwmn]

So, he can't possibly have gotten dentures? The way he was speaking & moving his mouth seems to point to new dentures, or a set that doesn't fit properly. I don't remember him speaking that way before. I'm not making fun at all, it was just an observation.

I thought they were dentures as well. And from what I remeber of my late mother getting them, it takes a little time to adjust to them. So that may be the case.

[gldstwmn]

I have heard from other fans that Barry and his late brother, Maurice do have caps. To me, he sounds the same as he has in the last 10 or 15 years. Very much like our Stevie, Bary does sounds older and different than he did when he was in his 20's and 30's.

I was impressed that his falsetto was still in such good shape.

[JazmenFlowers]

I'm just wondering, are you still pouting?

shut the **** up heinous, self-righteous bitch. get over yourself.

and they can ban me or whatever for saying that...I don't really give a damn. at this point, this place is so ****in lame it's not even funny. you should be proud of yourself hun. I hopped on before I start getting ready for tonight and I see this bull****. typical. and as for your question, I probably won't be doing this when I'm 31, much less 61. when are you gonna give up your drag act?

my point, which everyone is completely missing...I was saying he didn't look bad - he looked exactly what you'd imagine a Bee Gee in his 60's to look like. nothing more, nothing less. my bitching was more about what he wore. if he had been in a tailored black suit or something more classy, I would've had basically nothing to say. and, if you'd noticed, I pointed out he has had health problems. I wasn't bagging on him.

[gldstwmn]

I'm just wondering, are you still pouting?

This place has gotten pretty lame. In the last two or three years, it has gone totally downhill. There is so much BS and personal banter, I can hardly read a complete thread anymore. The days of interesting, intelligent discussions are gone. (cause most of the people who are knowledgable about FM and articulate, have stopped posting) It is sad because Marty and LIs have invested years of hard work and money into the site. Hopefully, things will turn around in the future and some of the older posters will eventually come back.

To stay on topic, I did not think you were bagging on Barry's looks, just the guy's duds....which were hella lame. I definately think he has dentures, too. Those choppers do not look like caps to me! And they look different from what his teeth used to look like.

BTW....we need some pictures of you from your "drag act" this past weekend at Dreams! So post em, please.

[JazmenFlowers]

Awww. Baby can dish it out but he can't take it. Tocuhy, touchy. It was just a question. Are you?
you're such a hypocrite. you always call out other **** stirrers, but here you are stinking up this place YET AGAIN. you started the personal comments here, not me. and you can act all nonchalant like you were just asking a question. and please...don't call me baby. it makes me nauseous. and, am I what? I answered your question. but you didn't answer mine? are you? seriously. I ask because I care.

I'm sure there are some who are dying for me to get a strike or whatever. I see that you are trying to incite a debate with those involved in the prior scuffle so that strikes or bans will be given. that's fine. I turn this thread over now...I am not going to participate in your pitiful parties. maybe all involved in this board, moderators and posters alike would be just as happy if I just stopped posting all together...I mean, who really cares. but if I get a strike...your ass better get one too.

and you want to know something sad...this weekend at the Dreams event everyone was giving out websites and someone mentioned 7W and that it's the best Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac board out there...and for a moment, I wanted to pipe in and give a shoutout to The Ledge, but I didn't, cause why should I? and that's sad. I'm not sayin 7W is perfect...it has it's problems, but it's sad that you've, single-handedly, made this place a joke. somehow you managed to get everyone on the edge and start throwing around strikes and banning. every other minute a moderator is wanting to hand out a strike. again, I say...you deserve a medal.

P.S. what does "Tocuhy" mean?

P.S.S. I hate to keep editing this thread, but I keep thinking of things I want to say. you are so upset about supposed critiques of Mr. Gibb and defending him since he's in his 60's, but no one spares Stevie a ****ing inch for wearing Frankenboks or black or anything and she's just as old as he is. I'm not saying it's right or wrong or that I agree or disagree, just sayin'.

[Sugar]

This needs to stop. Now.

You two wanna argue with each other, take it to PMs, but quit perpetuating this obvious personal feud here on the board.

[JazmenFlowers]

um, I never started a personal feud, but I am glad it's obvious. anyway, I'm done.

[skcin]

So. Um. Well. I'm thinking it will be an all-female finale. I love Blake, but I just don't think he'll make it unless he blows us all away this week, or Jordin misteps ala' Bon Jovi week. I really don't think that there's a chance that Melinda WON'T be in the finale. God bless her, no-neck & all.

Anyone know what the lame, I mean theme, is this week? I'm too lazy to find out.

[GypsySorcerer]

^^^^ I am not sure what the theme is, but Clive Davis is picking a song for each of them to sing. Seems like they usually have a "judges choice" tune during this stage of the competition.

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^^ I am not sure what the theme is, but Clive Davis is picking a song for each of them to sing. Seems like they usually have a "judges choice" tune during this stage of the competition.
isn't this week "homecoming week"? I think so. not sure if that is the actual theme though. :shrug:

[skcin]

So, they each get 2 songs (3?) this week - 1 will be Clive's choice, perhaps the other will be the judges' choice. And if there are 3 tunes, also their own choice?

[JazmenFlowers]

I think 3 songs is really going to test Jordin's stamina and her voice may not hold up.

and I agree with you that Blake will likely be the one to go this week.

[gldstwmn]

but it's sad that you've, single-handedly, made this place a joke.

That is ludicrous and I think even you know that. But if you wish to lay it all on me, then go ahead. For the record, I did what was asked of me. And if you knew how it really all went down, you might think twice about your statement. But I don't kiss and tell. I've never been big on gossip or backstabbing. I'm very forthright and say what's on my mind and tell people right to their face (monitor?) what I think. At least you will always know where you stand with me. I wish I could have said the same about the other members of this board when I was asked to moderate several years ago. Alas, this is all water under the bridge. I just want to go back to being a regular poster on a board about Fleetwood Mac. And in my trademark honesty I will say that I have gotten weary of the Stevie and Chit Chat forums being a hijacked, private joke clique where you have to be gay, bisexual or a fag hag to fit in. I am one of the most socially liberal people I know. I don't care what people sexual orientation is. I don't mind the occasional mention. But it seems to have eclipsed the real purpose of the board - Fleetwood Mac. I don't see that in the Post Rumours, Pre Rumours, Lindsey and Peter Green forums. With that said, I will leave you with one question. What do you think members of the band who read the board think? And we know that more that one of them does read it.
And Sugar, with respect to your comment, this will be my last post on this subject. I am not looking for a personal feud but I do think that it is only fair that now that I am not a mod and have waited for a respectable amount of time to pass that it is only fair that I get to have my say. Everyone else certainly has. My best to you and the rest of the mods.

Heterosexist bullsh*t. You might think you are socially liberal, but you have revealed a great deal in this post.

As for your question, this board isn't for members of the band. It's for their fans. And we don't need to straighten up (pun intended) for them. There is a place for everyone here if you would just relax and stop trying to silence people and whining about how the board isn't exactly how you want it to be.

As for cliquey and hijacking: I distinctly remember you and Strand having a long back and forth conversation reminiscing about your Vegas activities in the thread that was supposed to be about the experiences of those of us who went to Vegas in December of last year. And I didn't mind. I don't think anyone cared. That happens on internet discussion boards and you two were having fun. Why is it okay for you but not for others? And why on earth did you drag sexual orientation into your rant?

Why should it be any different than the makeup of an audience at a Stevie Nicks concert? Take away those three groups and the Big Boned Gals, and she is playing at 500 seat clubs full of burned out hippies.

What do you think members of the band who read the board think? And we know that more that one of them does read it.


I know this was directed at Jazzy, and not me, but I cannot help myself.

I bet they'd be impressed by the knowledge of their history, careful analysis of their music, and the obsessive over the top devotion their art has inspired.
I bet they'd be stunned people cared that much.
That is if they read the artist threads exclusively. Since they are fairly worldly people, the bickering and political sniping, and god knows the SEX would hardly shock them. I am sure their antics make it all look like child's play. For God's sake, I never bent someone over a car and slapped the **** of them in here. Though God knows I have thought about it. More than ever the last few months.

As for the chit chat and parts of the Stevie thread, well, what do you want from a bunch of depraved homos and their fat girl cronies? We've got to go somewhere to talk about our taste in booze and our favorite expensive hotels.

And me! I'm neither gay, bi-sexual, a fag hag, a big boned gal or a burned out hippie.

So, according to Chris' standards, I should really find another forum to post.

Socially liberal, my ass. :rolleyes:

Keep it real all you fools, breeders, homos, bitchers, losers, whiners, winners, ledgies...

Tonight we must hear (or endure) 3 songs from our Top 3.

1) Contestant picks a song
2) Judges pick the song
3) Clive Davis picks a song

Should be interesting. Clive Davis is cool and a top record excutive, so hopefully he has been watching and assigns some good tunes for the contestants. The Judges are idiots, so we'll see what they pick for each one.

See you later for results comments. I may be tipsy as friends are coming over to watch...

Blake's a gonner (even though he's my favorite).

Jordin's winning this thing for better or for worse.

I honestly do not care if Melinda wins...I find it odd that none of the judges
have ever intimated that she could actually win this. They seem to be favoring Jordin.

Hilarious. :laugh:


I am not really looking forward to tonight. Clive will choose a Whitney or Mariah tune for the girls. Snore. Blake, I dunno - Maroon 5 or something like that, I'm sure. The girls will probably choose a gospel song for themselves. Paula will incoherently mumble an explanation of why she picked her song & then either dance along, or cry afterwards.

I jjst really hope that none of them chooses a song they already performed this season. I hate that.

[Richard B]

Yes they have, just not of late. Besides the judges are pretty useless. Randy needs grammar lessons, Paula needs rehab and Simon needs to go back to the UK.

As for Jordin, she sucks dude. Not only does she suck but I find her so insincere. Both Blake and Melinda have heart.

I'm sorry if you missed the point of my post. I wasn't asking anyone to stay in the closet. When I was asked to become a mod along with the others, it was suggested that the Ledge needed to be cleaned up partly because of language of a sexual nature. Just because a straight person mentions the word homosexual, bisexual, fag hag, etc. does not make them homophobic.

[strandinthewind]

I think many people have left here or been relectant to come here or back here because they viewed this place as too sexually graphic in nature. I know of at least three who commented to me about it.

In the end, I suppose the Chit Chat board can be whatever it wants to be. But, I see people disrespecting the rules all of the time by openly typing curse words, etc. That, to me, in unnecessary and it too much of an in your face mentality. I try not to do that and it is not an onerous deed to say the least.

I think the real problem is, though, that there is little FM related items to discuss these days and the conversation in the FM areas turns to unrelated topics. Many people who try to avoid those non FM topics are then suddenly confronted with them when trying to get info. on FM, etc. That is not really fair I guess. I am just as "guilty" of this as anyone else.

[gldstwmn]

I'm not asking anyone to straighten up. Weren't you the one who had a **** fit about that discussion about felching?
All I am saying is that I disagree with the cliques that exist on this board that seem to exist including people of a certain sexual orientation and their "followers." In a way, it's a reverse discrimination.
BTW, I never said the board was for members of the band. I pondered what they might think when they read it.

[Richard B]

I haven't watched AI since sanjaya recd the boot. This has to be the worst season ever.

It is not the worst season and it's all because of Sanjaya (and Antonella). They made it so good. They were the reason I watched this season. Now that I'm in it this far, this is my last season.

Honestly though, I've never seen any other season.

[danax6]

All I am saying is that I disagree with the cliques that exist on this board that seem to exist including people of a certain sexual orientation and their "followers."How else would you like it then? I don't understand at all what being gay or not gay has to do with anything that goes around on this board or why you are even singling anyone out. Or how when a heterosexual person talks to a homosexual person you immediately get labelled "fag hag" or "follower". The Stevie Nicks community comes with a lot of gay people. :shrug: I don't have a problem with it whatsoever, obviously you do. I guess this is not the place for you then.

[Rickypt]

If the concern is around inappropriate sexual discussion and thread hijacking, then that is a valid concern. And that concern can be stated without dragging in sexual orientation. There are heterosexual masturbatory posts about Lindsey and crude discussions about thongs by straight women here. And I've read more than one post about the virtues of drug use by straight dudes here. Threads get hijacked all the time by all sexual orientations here. The reverse discrimination charge is one of the most absurd things I've read since joining the Ledge, but it allowed for a healthy laugh.

What they puttin' down
In ol' Nutbush

Melinda blew the pants off of the other two. What else can I say?

My prediction for tomorrow is Blake. The act is getting a little tired but hey, if you're in with Sir Mix-a-lot you're guaranteed a certain level of celebrity right?

[strandinthewind]

On a very long sabbatical. Oh man, I just realized my p.m. box is full! Damn!

Anyway, LONG LIVE BLAKE! (and his crazy, whack-ass-beat-box-scat ****).

Hello my friend!!!!!!!!!

[GypsySorcerer]

Clive will choose a Whitney or Mariah tune for the girls. Snore. Blake, I dunno - Maroon 5 or something like that, I'm sure.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Jordin "She's Only 17" Sparks: I didn't care for the songs they chose for her. "She Works Hard for the Money"?!?!?!!?! And her favorite song is MMMMBop? :lol: Her vocals are decent, but she is a snoozefest for me.

Blake was wobbly on "Roxanne," but I thought he did well on the Maroon 5 and Robin Thicke songs. :nod:

Melinda was great, as always. Although did she thank Randy "Johnson" for her song choice?

[JazmenFlowers]

I actually thought Jordin showed she was fighting to stay in. she added lots of high notes and vocal gymnastics. her voice was crisp and clear. I still don't like her, but I gotta give the girl props. I think she was stupid for saying Mmmbop was her favorite song and I wish she'd stop acting so ****ing fake and stupid.

Blake was ok. I wasn't really knocked out by anything. he's gone.

Melinda tore up the last two songs, but I thought she was way off on I Believe In You and Me. did no one else hear her crack during that one note and then struggle to hit a couple others? I really kinda realized that she doesn't have the range I thought she did. but she really kicked ass on her last two.

When the Governor was reading Randys song choice letter to Melinda, he pronounced his name as Randy Johnson, then he caught his mistake. Melinda was just making a joke of it.

[gldstwmn]

Blake's a gonner (even though he's my favorite).

Jordin's winning this thing for better or for worse.

Yep. She's cute, young and marketable. I like Melinda too but I think Jordin's got the edge.

[Richard B]

Interesting night.

Jordin - She's a fake. I really feel zipp sincerity from her when she sings. She's just an actress, and a bad one.

Blake - Now he's more real. I liked what he did tonight.

Melinda - Best of the night.

Who's going home? This is going to be close, real close. I'm hoping Jordin goes home and if not her, Blake.

[gldstwmn]

The reverse discrimination charge is one of the most absurd things I've read since joining the Ledge, but it allowed for a healthy laugh.

Just as the accusation that I singlehandedly ruined The Ledge. It's unfortunate that I am willing to see your side of the situation but you are unwilling to see mine. :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

Nice to see you around. :wavey:

[Rickypt]

Oh my bloody fingers!

[Richard B]

Oh my bloody fingers!

Thatta boy!!!! I'm right with ya (I have to do a little extra for Blake to keep Jordin out).

Keep dialing. I want pictures of your wounded finger. Do it for the world.

Oh honey..I heard Melinda crack on the Whitney song. She has no head voice is why. Good belter..no upper register. I am shocked she was not called out on that!!! Blake was great..was it enough??? Not sure. Jordin has the edge and fits the Idol model. So...we will see...

[Rickypt]

I never said you ruined the Ledge? :confused:

[Richard B]

I feel like an idiot for redialing constantly.

[jannieC]

Most boring American Idol, ever. For the first time, I don't even care who wins. Queen Shrek will win, I'm sure.

[JazmenFlowers]

Dear Moderators and other interested parties, I'm not trying to continue in this or participate, just to clarify for Ryan.

I think she's referring to me saying that she's the reason why The Ledge has changed, for the worse. I don't think I ever said "ruined" either.

EDIT: this is actually what I said: "but it's sad that you've, single-handedly, made this place a joke"

[JazmenFlowers]

yeah. you are totally right.

[GypsySorcerer]

Ah. I missed the letter reading part. Thanks for clarifying.


I voted a gazillion times for Blake. I do not want to see that phony Jordin in the final, but we probably will. I had no trouble at all getting through for Blake.

How's my Jeffy?

He's doing fine- I thought for sure you'd be on your way over since I'm leaving for a girl's trip tomorrow morning. :lol:

When they said it was Maroon 5, I lol'd. :lol: I agreewith the song choice for Jordin - that tune's too silly/campy for me in general, let alone when a kid sings it.

I actually thought Jordin showed she was fighting to stay in. she added lots of high notes and vocal gymnastics. her voice was crisp and clear. I still don't like her, but I gotta give the girl props. I think she was stupid for saying Mmmbop was her favorite song and I wish she'd stop acting so ****ing fake and stupid.

Really? I loved Blake! Jordin was spot on, but bored me this week. I did catch Melinda's voice cracking - but so did Lakisha's the other night. :shrug: I really think it was nerves as opposed to vocal ability.

Interesting night.

Agree with all of the above. :nod:

Good Christ, why can't you just let it go? :rolleyes: You continue to bring this up repeatedly in this thread even after Sugar asked everyone to drop it & they did. You're upset. We get it. If this is a last word thing, then you got it. Happy yet?

Like I said, Lakisha has great range & her voice cracked too. It happens. Melinda hit the high "me" at the end without a problem. :shrug:

I'm honestly not sure who's going. I think it was really close last night - all 3 did really well. I called each number once around 9:45pm EST & got a busy signal for each contestant at one point. After that, I voted several times for Blake & got occasional busy signals - then, same with Melinda. So it's hard to say.

[Travis]

Tonight it's all about seeing Elliott perform for me. In my opinion, the best AI contestant to ever grace that stage. He’s so humble and genuine and simply one of the most gifted singers. And I'm seeing him tomorrow night in Alexandria, VA :)

yeah, I loved Blake too, but I guess what I meant is that I don't think it was enough to keep him from going home. with respect to Melinda, I agree it was probably nerves and maybe that isn't a good indication of her range, but I still think that her range isn't what I initially thought it was. I actually agree with BW...I don't think she has much of a head voice. I'm not knocking her really though, just pointing out an observation, cause I love her miles above Jordin.

if Jordin flashes her hand heart or her numbers to dial one more time I swear I'm gonna go through the TV and slap her nose ring outta her nose.

[BlackWidow]

We have a gameplan....:nod: :nod:

you can ****ing say that again. wow. just wow.

[UnwindedDreams]

I want Jordin to win but I'm thinking Blake for the win.

[Richard B]

I'm shocked (yes, I saw an east coast feed). I guess this is really ultimately just a poplularity contest.

[Sarah]

i like jordin and i'm glad she's staying, but voting melinda off? wtf is america thinking? style aside, blake really isn't that cute. his nose is a deal breaker looks-wise, and his voice is completely uninteresting to me. beatboxing? come on. seriously. i don't even want to watch next week in the event that he wins. :rolleyes:

[GardenStateGirlie]

blake's okay but i was hoping to see jordin and melinda in the final two. i'm honestly not sure what will happen -- though blake apparently has a huge fan following so he may win.

[Michelle Daya]

america sucks

may not watch again

[SpyNote]

Disappointing. But not surprising. Maybe Melinda will turn out to be this year's Chris Daughtry, and sell millions of CDs anyway.

daughtry is kicking ass on the charts -- can you imagine the kind of music they would have forced that kid to make had he won? melinda is better off.
