American Idol: Season 6

[JazmenFlowers]

Melinda was shocked as hell and so was Blake. I think he was expecting to go.

since I don't really care who wins, I don't care that she went home, but I'm glad I get to see my Blake for a while longer. :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

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.

Good point. If Blake wins over Jordin that will be a damn shame. But she'll probably still have a career! I guess I don't care who wins in the end but I'll be rooting for Jordin.

[GypsySorcerer]

I wanted a Blake/Melinda finale. Bah-humbug.

I still maintain Jordin is overrated. She's Diana DeGarmo. I do not see much of a career for her. :shrug: Oh well...I guess she'll stand and smile her way to the crown.

[JazmenFlowers]

lol.

i hrt u.

[Richard B]

As shocking and crappy as the results were last night. It's better Melinda is out now. I think it's better not to be the winner as their are so many contractual obligations you will have and not to mention AI getting a HUGE cut off any record sales. So Melinda is better off and she will be very successful in her own career. The door is wide open for her.

Same with Blake. In my prior posts in this thread, I did say he is the underdog here and could win the damn thing. But after what I wrote above, let Jordin win.

Funny too, on Tuesday night, when they shot their hometown scenes, Melinda is in the Mayor's home, Blake is in a park and Jordin is at a mall. LOL. I sense Tiffany and Debbie Gibson territory.

[DavidMn]

Tiffany and Debbie Gibson Sweet Jesus, I just had a horrible flashback to my teen years!:lol:

[skcin]

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

Exactly what I'm thinking. I honestly don't care who wins now though. I'll base my votes (if I even bother) on their performances next week.

[BlackWidow]

It was shocking!

So..Jordin has never been in the bottom at all. Either was Taylor Hicks.
She has a strong fan base. Where are Melinda's votes going next week?
I would imagine to Jordin.

[skcin]

^ I'm thinking Melinda fans will move to the Jordin camp now. :shrug: I hate to generalize, but Idol fans tend to vote for a certain "type" of performer. Melinda & Jordin are similar in that they're both black women(well, Jordin is also white, but still) who can really belt out a tune. If people want that type of performer to win, they'll automatically toss their vote to Jordin now. Or, if they want a female artist to win, since a guy won last year.

Of course, there could be some who do NOT want that type of performer to win. Or who think Jordin's way too young. Or who are annoyed by her - Like Richard is. :laugh: So you never know.

[mikeschmike]

I should have seen this coming. I'm not too torn about it though, you know? The curse of the Idol winner will be in full effect this year, just like with Taylor Hicks and last season. What's he doing these days? Besides sucking at life that is...

It's pretty funny that the contestants have better luck with their careers when they end up in 3rd or 4th place. Hudson, Daughtry, Doolittle...I'm talking to you.

[skcin]

^ Kimberly Locke didn't do too badly either. Elliot seems to be OK too.

[JazmenFlowers]

^ Kimberly Locke didn't do too badly either. Elliot seems to be OK too.
he got his chompers fixed! but that hair...makes him look like Wolfman.

Ms. Locke is doing the gay club circuit I think.

[mikeschmike]

^ Kimberly Locke didn't do too badly either. Elliot seems to be OK too.

Fair enough. I doubt that Taylor Hicks will ever blow up the charts like Daughtry, and Fantasia sure as hell isn't getting any Oscar nods.

The exception to the winner's curse would be Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, but they're different. Little petite southern girls with big voices can get pretty far, regardless of what genre they're singing. Kellie Pickler anyone?

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^
her new name should be Kellie Porkler. girl has gained some weight, cut her hair and got boob implants. of course, this is all speculation, but look up some pics from the country awards this week. homegirl needs an intervention.

EDIT: ok...I'm confused. all the pics I can find she looks thin! but she looked way heavy on TV. does the camera now add 50 lbs and not 15. what's the world coming to! :shrug: still, she should be proud of her new jugs.

EDIT2: don't get it twisted, I love Kellie. I really do. she's so cute to me. ok, there, I said it.

Yea..I do see your point. I honestly do not care who wins....it was not a strong Top 12. I am kind of happy for Blake...he was the dark horse from day one. I like Melinda..I think she is similiar to LaToya...maybe too polished for her own good. In this show..there is a certain element of surprise that was
just missing for Melinda.Like she was too good..for her own good.
Diana DeGarmo was 16/17 too. I do think Jordin is better than her.

She's got a little more more booty now. That's the only place I can see a difference (besides the new water balloons).

[skcin]

^ Yeah, the girl's got back. :p Nice hourglass shape on her.

Jaz - it really depends on what she's wearing, I've noticed. But she has filled out.

I think so too! I would kill to have such a cute little bod.

[cliffdweller]

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

Hey you!

I just wanted to say that I've got money riding on this show and I'm not gonna lose! If I win one more round, I win the pot. So who's going home after the finale? Anyone? Anyone?

[Richard B]

Hi Cliffdweller!

[cliffdweller]

Hi Cliffdweller!

Hello! The puppy in your sig is precious! What is his/her name and what kind of dog is she/he? I'm looking for a pup myself.

[GypsySorcerer]

Hi Tracye! :wavey: Welcome back. Dishing American Idol this season just hasn't been the same without you.

[Richard B]

Hello! The puppy in your sig is precious! What is his/her name and what kind of dog is she/he? I'm looking for a pup myself.

Why thank you! He is something else let me tell you.

Moby is his name. Moby Dog.

This cute little guy is a gift from a friend who bred his dogs. His Dad is a mix breed, Chihuahua/Dachsund. His Mom is a pure bred, Peruvian Hairless.

Thankfully he has hair though! He's weighs 15lbs and perfect for the house. But don't his smaller side fool you, he is a alpha dog and true Master of Destruction. I love him though!

He won Pet Of The Month at his dog food company:

[JazmenFlowers]

Awww...that's so nice of you to say. Thank you!
one day this week, I think it was yesterday I stared at the picture you have of him and it looked so sweet. I imagined in my head (as I often do) what was going on at the time the picture was taken and what he was looking at and I really wanted to tear up cause it looks so sweet and reminds me of my dog.

He really has such a sweet face. Course, he's a double Leo, so when I bust my camera out, he's ready. He eats it up. So cute.

same. and i hesitate to say this but i feel like it doesn't matter who wins this year -- i'm thinking what happened last year will happen again. both blake and jordin have good voices but i'm not sure either are the type of performers to sustain a huge fan base for an extended period of time. much as i love mcphee, her album is absolute crap -- the writing is terrible and the only single out [over it] is honestly the only song on the album of any merit, imho [and yes, i own the entire album]. and, well...we all know what happened with last years winner :laugh: though i have been a jordin fan, basically, i could care less who wins :nod:

The "alpha dog" complex comes from his Chihuahua background. My sister's Chihuahua is only like 5 lbs and he thinks he's the big dog around the house. It's so funny and so cute!

Awww! Thanks. :wavey:

Unfortunately, this season has been one of the most lackluster in all of Idol history. There hasn't been NEAR enough controversey to keep me hugely interested :p.

aww. not even with sanjamima??? :laugh:
well, me and a couple of my gal pals are going on the idol tour this year :lol:
we already bought our tix, and we have decent seats. i actually hope that blake wins. jordan just isnt as marketable---or cute :o as him. so...im setting up yahoo IM [as ive been told to] to like vote continuously the whole two hours XD
not that jordin is horrible, just we all like blake LOL

[skcin]

So. *yawn* You guys gonna watch tonight? :shrug:

[Beachwood Mac]

Yes, but only to see Paula's broken nose. :laugh:

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

^^^:lol: :lol: :lol: I want to see how much Simon makes fun of her...I mean, more than usual.

[skcin]

Yes, but only to see Paula's broken nose. :laugh:

Oh yeah, I heard about that! :lol:

[Beachwood Mac]

Oh yeah, I heard about that! :lol:

She probably doesn't even have a dog! :lol:

[Chrislit18]

lol. i saw it on the news this morning!
thank god for delayed school openings....
shes sooo like out-of-it anyways....
this is probably gonna be the most exciting epi all season
except for when sanjamima went home :D

[BlackWidow]

This should be good.

[Chrislit18]

BlackWidow, i love your sig :)
i have a shirt that says basically the same thing!

[JazmenFlowers]

boooring.

Jordin. first, don't break out a Christina song and especially not Fighter! the Martina song was ok, the last song was ok.

Blake. loved that he did the Bon Jovi song again, Maroon 5 song was ok but I wouldn't have picked a slow song like that, last song was really boring.

all in all...just as I suspected. something I could've skipped.

[golden braid]

boooring.
all in all...just as I suspected. something I could've skipped.

I agree. I actually don't like to watch the last week of AI because it's usually boring. The performers always sing songs they've already sang and then they have to do a cheesy AI song that the producers write for them or whatever they do. I especially hate the results show. It's 2 hours of filler with the last 5 minutes of revealing the new AI.

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^
sadly, with all of my shows, the results show has gotten to be a total waste of time. I just don't watch it until the last 10 minutes.

[GypsySorcerer]

Meh. This season has been a drag overall.

- Blake performed well on the Bon Jovi song. He did okay on "She Will Be Loved," but as Jazzy said, a faster-paced song would have been better. I actually thought he did a decent job with that horrid "winning" contest song.

- Jordin's performance of "Fighter" -- Blech. I knew she'd pick the Martina song, and she sang it well. The winner's song is always a sappy ballad, so she had a huge advantage there. And my goodness -- she is so good at standing, smiling, and wailing, she moves herself to tears. Yeah.

[gldstwmn]

I think it's pretty obvious Jordin has it in the bag. I'm sure Blake will do very well for himself too.

[gldstwmn]

The winner's song is always a sappy ballad, so she had a huge advantage there.

What is with that? This year's wasn't so bad. Last year's song was a giant turd. Taylor probably just had to keep thinking about dollar signs to get himself through that song.

[Keith]

I don't watch AI but I heard that Daughtry was going to be on so I kept channel checking - totally engrossed with, sadly, the final episode of Veronica Mars. Since Daughtry didn't perfiorm until the end - from what pieces of AI I caught - I thought the young lady definitely was the better singer. And the young man - my gaydar seriously was going off.. his voice was sorta of weak. Since it's suppose to be a singing contest, I was surprised he was in the finals - but America voted.... :-)

[JazmenFlowers]

And my goodness -- she is so good at standing, smiling, and wailing, she moves herself to tears. Yeah.
oh.my.god. I know. she could barely finish the song. it was sickening. she's going to win, no doubt in my mind.
Since Daughtry didn't perfiorm until the end -
first of all, HI KEITH :wavey:

second of all, how in the hell did I miss Daughtry? I guess that's what I get for half-ass watching the show.

[GardenStateGirlie]

i missed it last night...but apparently i didn't really "miss it" -- sounds fairly boring.

[GardenStateGirlie]

...totally engrossed with, sadly, the final episode of Veronica Mars.

i wish the cast would have known last nights show was the series finale -- cause on the whole, how dissapointing was that? le sigh.

[SuzeQuze]

i wish the cast would have known last nights show was the series finale -- cause on the whole, how dissapointing was that? le sigh.

The cast didn't know? Yeah, it really was lackluster for a finale. I haven't been watching since the beginning of the season since my roommates don't like VM so I didn't really know what was going on in some scenes.

[BlackWidow]

BlackWidow, i love your sig :)
i have a shirt that says basically the same thing!

Thanks, baby!

[Livia]

I went grocery shopping after work and watched the recording later - but they must have run over an hour, cuz the DVR cut off before Daughtry, and the footage Paula was talking about - the contestants who didn't win, but have still "made it."

If she had really broken her nose, she would have had 2, puffy, black and blue eyes. WTF?

Jordin's gonna win.

[GypsySorcerer]

second of all, how in the hell did I miss Daughtry? I guess that's what I get for half-ass watching the show.

It was a phoned-in performance, but still more interesting than the rest of the night. :laugh:

Jordin's gonna win.

He's all I caught since I got home late. His performance did start late, at 9:00.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Well, since they picked a song that was outta Blakes's range and totally Jordin's boring style, Jordin will win. That song was more horrid than the thought of Stevie and Mick getting it on.


I want Blake to win, though.:blob1:

[skcin]

You took the words right out of my mouth. I thought she nailed Broken Wing though.

I think it's pretty obvious Jordin has it in the bag. I'm sure Blake will do very well for himself too.


oh.my.god. I know. she could barely finish the song. it was sickening. she's going to win, no doubt in my mind.



Fer sher. The second her voice cracked & that tear rolled down her cheek, I thought "well, if there was any doubt before, now she's won for sure."

I missed Daughtry too - Tivo cut out. :( And they must have really piled the pancake on Paula cuz yeah, she'd be pretty bruised up.

BTW - lol when she told Jordin "you're in great vocal voice tonight!" Um. Yeah.

[Chrislit18]

i LOVED how Blake did the Maroon5 song!
I almost cried of joy XD
I hated how like everyone favors jordan [the judges], just because shes 'a better singer', she has absolutely no showmanship in comparison to blake
think of it like would you rather see stevie singing Silver Springs solo [Jordan}, or screaming it at Lindsey [Blake]...
IMO id rahter the better-catchier-songs, and better showmanship than the better voice...ie last year with taylor, but i hated him anywyas XD

i agree with ontheedgeof17. blake should win :)

[JazmenFlowers]

well...it's almost time. I want my Blake to win. he won't, but I hope he does.

[BlackWidow]

I didn't even vote. I love them both.

[Lee]

I haven't voted thoughout the whole thing, so I really don't care who wins. I liked Melinda. I would probably buy Blake's music if he didn't "beatbox" through every song. And of course, I'd buy Melinda's music, but I'm not too sure about Jordin. If she doesn't turn out like Kathryn McPhee, then I might.

Lee :)

What's wrong with Katharine McPhee?

[darklinensuit]

Great to see Gladys Knight. She's one of the best IMO.

I really dislike Jordin. I did like her a lot in the very early episodes, but before long I came to think she sucks on the fast songs. She needs slower ones with big notes. And I've always liked Blake on the slow songs (other than the contest winner), too, though the judges never appreciate when he does them.

And I hate how Simon & Randy keep stressing how it's primarily a singing competition. If that were really the biggest factor, Katharine would have beaten Taylor, Jennifer would have beaten Fantasia, Clay would have beaten Reuben, and so on.

Blake looked positively thrilled his name wasn't called. :laugh:

What an odd show -- I loved they brought the Crying Girl back. :D

[rbs3676]

The most boring season of this show yet.

To quote the Ramones..."Glad to see you go go go go goodbye!" :laugh:

WTF was up with her Lip Synching!!!!?????:shocked: :eek: :shocked:

[GardenStateGirlie]

i'm still of the mind that neither one of them have the power to be a carrie underwood or a kelly clarkson. jordin's album will slip through the cracks of all of the other music currently being churned out by record labels and i feel like regardless of what blake puts out, it will be much of the same. jmo.

jordin sounded like **** :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

I lost it when Carrie f'ing Underwood sang I'll Stand By You (see the "What songs do you listen to when you're sad" thread) and cried for the rest of the show. Jesus. Then the Tivo cuts out at the during the Sgt. Pepper thing and I have to go online to see who won. I figured it was Jordin but I still would like to have seen it.

Damn Tivo! That happened to me too. I couldn't believe I had just sat through the entire two-hour crapfest, just to have it cut out after the incredibly weird Ruben version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Who on earth thought THAT was a good idea?
Gladys Knight was the highlight for me, and Ruben and Jordin's song together wasn't entirely bad. Was it wrong of me to have been entertained by Blake and Doug E Fresh? It was hilariousy great.

ps: I love love love Kelly Clarkson, but her new song is not good.

Ooh yeah. I love that look. I guess she really thought she would be up there. I love to see that she has real feelings and a real personality. She should have showed that more than the "golly-gee you like me" schtick and maybe she WOULD have been up there.

I agree. But Barry Gibb said Jordin's going to be one of the best recording artists of all time! We'll just see who turns out to be right. Us or Barry Gibb. :laugh:

Amen. :thumbsup:

[JazmenFlowers]

a couple of quick thoughts:

everyone, except Tony Bennett, sounded like **** on a stick. Kelly, Carrie, Jordin...all sounded off. I hear today that Kelly was sick...well, any vocal doctor or coach I know would say do NOT sing if you are sick...you'll damage your vocal cords. Kelly better watch it cause she will end up like Mariah and damage certain ranges and then be ****ed. I like her new song, but she won't be able to sing it live night after night. it was obvious that it hurt to hit some of those notes and I could hear just how it was hurting her throat. and why did she wear that second outfit? ewww. it was just gross.

note to Bette Midler...I love you girl, but if you're gonna take over Celine's spot at Caesar's, watch your AI performance and clean it up a bit. your most famous song and you cracked a few times. just be aware. :laugh:

Jordin...from this day forward do not wear anything with an empire waist. ok?

Gwen...again, you are too long in the tooth to be singing about staying up til 4 in the morning doing anything. talking about wind it up and ****...bitch please. oh, and lip synching is not cool unless you're Britney Spears. well...even then it's not cool.

and I loved how Jordin's song at the end after she won was a carbon copy of her finale performance. :cool: she probably rehearsed the cracking voice and the little teardrop.

that's all for now, but I'm sure I'll think of more.

1 - You don't f*ck with the Beatles. :distress:

2 - I thought Ruben looked & sounded great last night.

3 - I hated Kelly's new song when I first heard it, but now I love it. It definitely grows on you.

I agree. But Barry Gibb said Jordin's going to be one of the best recording artists of all time! We'll just see who turns out to be right. Us or Barry Gibb. :laugh:

I hear today that Kelly was sick...well, any vocal doctor or coach I know would say do NOT sing if you are sick...you'll damage your vocal cords. Kelly better watch it cause she will end up like Mariah and damage certain ranges and then be ****ed. I like her new song, but she won't be able to sing it live night after night. it was obvious that it hurt to hit some of those notes and I could hear just how it was hurting her throat. and why did she wear that second outfit? ewww. it was just gross.

note to Bette Midler...I love you girl, but if you're gonna take over Celine's spot at Caesar's, watch your AI performance and clean it up a bit. your most famous song and you cracked a few times. just be aware. :laugh:

Jordin...from this day forward do not wear anything with an empire waist. ok?

Gwen...again, you are too long in the tooth to be singing about staying up til 4 in the morning doing anything. talking about wind it up and ****...bitch please. oh, and lip synching is not cool unless you're Britney Spears. well...even then it's not cool.

and I loved how Jordin's song at the end after she won was a carbon copy of her finale performance. :cool: she probably rehearsed the cracking voice and the little teardrop.

that's all for now, but I'm sure I'll think of more.

Kelly def. sounded hoarse to me & I thought the same thing as you did about singing that tune ever night - ouch. And I almost always hate what she's wearing. But I love her.

LOL - the teardrop was rehearsed fo sho. :laugh:

I didn't watch most of the show closely, we had an "Idol finale party" at a coworkers house so we were too busy eating & gossiping. Glad I saw the ending, since apparently Tivo is not my best friend.

[Livia]

Damn DVR did it again! I had a friend over to watch The Sopranos episode that he missed, and last week's Entourage. I put on AI and hit "skip to the end" - cut off in the middle of the Sgt. Pepper butchering. Oh well, whaddayagonnado?

[mikeschmike]

Gladys Knight and Tony Bennett blew every other performer out of the water. Idols take note! That is how you sing a song.

Bette- Looked great (61 whaaaat?) but she needs to get to some rehearsals and beef up her vocal chords. THe little shimmy in the skirt was awesome. Bitch can work a crowd like no other.

Is Blake's schtick going to be pairing up with rappers from the 80's-90's? Somebody call Tone Loc and see if he's free. I did like seeing Doug E Fresh back in action though. I love that guy.

I didn't really like Kelly's new song when she did it on the show, but I saw the music video this morning and it's a keeper.

[BlackWidow]

I wanted to cut Gladys Knights bangs too....

[Little Nicki]

I hear today that Kelly was sick...well, any vocal doctor or coach I know would say do NOT sing if you are sick...you'll damage your vocal cords.

MUCH better to get a night's rest and anger several million people than to have fun on stage while fulfilling an obligation that must be fulfilled anyway. It's a good thing your favorite person in the whole wide world never went on stage despite doctor's orders like that, cough, 1986, cough.

Wow. :shocked: Bitter, party of one? And what does Barbra Streisand have to do with this? ;)


I heard on the the radio this morning that someone was a last-minute no-show. Anyone know who that was?

No clue. Fantasia wasn't there, but she's doing The Color Purple right now....

[jannieC]

I kind of only half watched it- was Katherine McPhee on there?

Also, poor Bette. She did look fabulous (seriously) but I was so sad at her voice.

disagree about carrie underwood. i don't even like country music but that chick can sing. her voice is pure & her beatles "she's leaving home" was nice. can tell she sings from the heart.

gwen? totally agree. learn the words.

melinda should have won. no contest. so can't say i care if it was blake or jordin. either one? cheesy.

dude...wtf?

I don't even really understand the first part of that...I was just saying I hate to see her ruin her voice. ****. I wasn't dissing her because I love Kelly.

[BlackWidow]

I think the 2 Finalists should have sang a big solo again. Less star****er - more Idols!

After refusing to watch this show anymore, some friends crashed my place and bullied their way into my living room. Thankfully they brought party favors to sweeten the deal. So I succumbed to watching the show.

It's decided. America loves mediocrity. I was most amused with Green Day. Great song and loved that the lead singer really did not want to be there (but the money was really good).

The beatboxing extravaganza was fun and I was entertained for those few moments. I did enjoy that adorable African Happy Kids Band. Loved the shots of the studio execs giving their standing ovation and admiration. They're not exposed to this very often, so it was good for them.

Poor Bette Midler. When she popped out I could only wonder, WTF? How out of place was she? Is she shlepping a new album, again? I think Olivia Newton-John would have been a better choice. Same age and Olivia can actually still sing and she was a guest judge this season after all.

The Beatles medley was so wrong and unpleasant to listen to. Taylor Hicks is a cheeseball.

Finally, the duet between Blake and Jordin was repungant. I quickly endulged in party favors to divert "the scene."

Who is this Rueben dude? He sucked. Kelly Clarkson scared me. That was a very intense song and I think I actually liked her performance, haven't decided yet which is a good thing. Underwood chose the wrong song, Stand By You. Dreadful. Right up there with Jordin. Absolute mediocrity.

swallow the jagged little pill...she won.:D

[Richard B]

Quit gloating. You can't really expect me to change my mind about that minor now that she won?

With each episode I found myself hating the show more and more, the little money machine it is. Sorry, but the reality is not so much show business as simply put: business.

I do look forward to Melinda's album, featuring a duet with LaKisha (and Blake on drums).

You don't have to ask. I can see you gloating. Such a Gemini answer anyway. We are in Gemini, but are you a Gemini? You always seemed like one to me.

I heard on the the radio this morning that someone was a last-minute no-show. Anyone know who that was?

According to TMZ, it was Paul McCartney.

[gldstwmn]

Damn Tivo! That happened to me too. I couldn't believe I had just sat through the entire two-hour crapfest, just to have it cut out after the incredibly weird Ruben version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Who on earth thought THAT was a good idea?
Gladys Knight was the highlight for me, and Ruben and Jordin's song together wasn't entirely bad. Was it wrong of me to have been entertained by Blake and Doug E Fresh? It was hilariousy great.

ps: I love love love Kelly Clarkson, but her new song is not good.

Smokey Robinson was a highlight for me and I loved how they had the guys doing all The Temptations style moves.

[skcin]

According to TMZ, it was Paul McCartney.

After seeing that horrid Beatles medley, he did the right thing.

[Richard B]

Now that this is over, I just wanted to say that it sure was fun reading everyone's posts and hassling with some of you. All in good fun.

See you at Melinda Doolittle's concert.

[GypsySorcerer]

^^^ Yep. It's been fun y'all. Until next year...

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^ Yep. It's been fun y'all. Until next year...
yeah, it's been real.

hopefully, next year, I'll be one of the contestants you bitches are dogging.
