American Idol

[Hawkeye]

Fantasia and Latoya stole the show tonight. They were great. JPL wasn't bad tonight. he did rock the house. And Queten Terrintino was the best guest judge yet.

I know the judges loved Fantasia and she is a good singer but I didn't like the song at all. Jennifer did a good job. I am still waiting to hear LaToya.

I was still at work when the show came on so I missed the first half. However, my mom said Jennifer gave a great performance. As much as I don't like Fantasia, I'd have to say that tonight was her song style...she's not an American Idol...she needs to sing R&B...she was amazing. LaToya was equally as amazing...she has a set of lungs on her. Tarantino needs to be judge every week...I LOVED his honesty. It's about time they had a guest judge that doesn't skirt around the obvious.

I loved Quentin. Whenever they had celebrity judges before they always were saying how well the contestants did. Quentin, however, speaks his mind. He told the contestants how he truly felt about them including the good and the bad.

FINALLY - a jusge who isn't just there kissing everyone's ass & being nicey-nicey! It was great!

The top 3 girls mentioned above blew everyone away. George was so-so. John Stevens sounded really good, actually, lucky for him he was able to do an old song this week that better suits his voice (after this, I think he'll be out of luck with that aspect.)

JPL shouted the song, IMO, he didn't sing it. Diana needs to go this week, she was out of tune - and what was she THINKING with "My Heart Will Go On?" I don't care if I NEVER hear it again, let alone coming out of HER mouth!

Those are the top three. They're the best. Unfortunately, Fantasia did a good job last night, even though I can't stand her, I have to give her mad props for that performance. I thought Jennifer was incredible, La Toya was consistant, I was bored by the song, but her voice is just so darned amazing!

JPL should be outta there as should red-headed John, Diana, and Jasimine. Any combo of those four should be in the bottom three tonight.

Quentin Tarantino should be a host every night. At least he's honest unlike most of the celebrity judges who just sit there and smile and act polite even when it's clear that someone just stunk up the stage.

Jennifer- Her best night yet and she looked absolutely stunning.

Fantasia- Mama blew me away. I'm a Fantasia fan (even though she's not my fave), but this one was amazing. A-MA-ZING.

LaToya- Hated the song, but loved her voice. However, she's another one without a shred of charisma.

George- I actually liked him. He did good.

JPL- Didn't see all og him because I was too busy looking for a step ladder and some rope.

John Stevens- Ugh. If he snaps his fingers one more time...

Jasmine- Go home.

Diana- Nice voice, but she sings without emotion and picks horrible songs. And she's a cheesy performer.

I *loved* Quentin and thought last nights show was the best so far. The bottom three should be JPL, Jasmine, and John Stevens. And JPL should go home.

I had a headache & missed George and Jennifer completely.
My take on the rest:

Jon Peterless - Flat as a pancake, but won't make the bottom three.

John Stevens - Better than he's been in weeks. I agree with Simon: I was thinking the whole time he lacks maturity in his phrasing and gestures.

Fantasia - Stylish and great, though Randy overrated it. I hated the YeahYeahYeah in the middle, but kudos for her first new ending.

LaToya - I don't care for her voice. She can hold a note wonderfully, but there's nothing extraordinary about her sound her style.

Diana - Very bad

Jasmine - adorable personality, but her performances keep slipping. The voice is giving out.

What were the judges' specific comments on George and Jennifer?

No one liked George except for Quentin, but everyone loved Jennifer. They said that she set her standard so high that if she does anything less it'll be a damn shame.

**Chandler voice** Could this show BE anymore boring?

I don't know WHAT it is about this season, but I don't care for any of these people. I keep watching, but I don't know WHY. LOL It's just a group of oversingers and bores. I need to find something better to do.

**Simon voice** So what?

I'm an idiot.

I like it, but last season I'd have agreed with this 100%.

Thanks. And I missed it.

Better than Circle of Life or Imagine? Wow.
They are doing a lot to change her look. The Second Coming of Kimberly Locke.

BTW, Janis Joplin does my favorite version of Summertime.

Another thought: I don't think the evening's performers should have been allowed to do songs that originated onstage rather than onscreen. Somewhere did not originate in the movie (Correct?), and neither did Summertime.
By that logic, maybe contestants should be able to perform Landslide. It's been used in movies. Think, we could have the Diana version, with her smiling and lifting her brow all cutesy through the song.

Better. And they put her in a great black evening dress and she looked very classy.
