The judges should only give comments about the performance at hand, not about how talented someone is, I mean, if certain contestants keep doing sucky boring songs then how does that display their talent? It makes no sense.

exactly. then in the next breath complain about Ayla's song choice, even though they said it was a good choice for her...huh?

It's stupid because they keep saying for certain people that it's a SINGING contest...yet, they won't seem to comment on Pickle's "singing" only on how cute *running to toilet* she is or how charming *damn this bile! BRB* she is.

It's frustrating as frick when they are always talking out of both sides of their mouth. Back in Season 1, Simon crapped on Justin singing Sunny saying that he was "outsung by 3 gulls" when that is ridiculous because what if he had sung first that night? Why not judge him without bringing up the ol' yellers?

Bitter much? Yes, yes I am.

Who was in lust with Ace's falsetto???

oh, that was nice, real, real nice. love him. love him.

[wondergirl9847]

Gedeon - I love him! Yeah, he talks weird, but he's got stage presence and a great ol' soul. I'm actually voting for him and ONLY him.

Taylor - Looked like he was being electrocuted. LOL I like him alright and I'm sure he'll be safe tomorrow night.

Chris - Eh, didn't know the song and he was just okay tonight for me. Still a fave though.

Elliot - I thought it was okay. I love that song. Can't believe he's 90% deaf in one ear.

Ace - PLEASE GOD, let him go home tomorrow!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! I know he won't though.

Kevin, Bucky - It's time to go.

Will - Wasn't his best, but his voice is great and he's a cute lil guy.

'Zat all of 'em?

I dunno. It was okay at first, and yes, he's certainly cute, but it hurt my ears after a while. I'm not sure why they keep telling him it's so good? But then again I somehow still find him boy-toyishly attractive. I'm so conflicted.

I thought Gedeon and Taylor did the best tonight. I liked Chris, but I want to hear him sing some different kinds of songs. His voice reminds me of being in college, getting wasted to Pearl Jam or Live or something. But maybe all I really want is for him to just sing "Jeremy" or "I Alone" or "Flies in the Vaseline" while I rock out in my living room...Sorry for that trip down my own little memory lane.

At any rate, I hope Kevin and Peter Brady go tomorrow night.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Taylor is on my last nerve. I can't stand him.

Actually, I don't like any of the guys. They all can go home.

Chris and Bucky: Ugh...Overplayed voice that you hear over and over on the radio

Gedeon: I have to look away while he sings.

Kevin: Total statue...boring performances...boring vocals

Will: He's ok.

Ace: Poser.

Elliot: Weakest Performance.

I actually said to Marty 'I wonder if he had a speech impediment when he was young' because there is a 'different' quality to his speech, like he is making a conscious effort to form words correctly. My son is severely speech impaired so maybe my ears are more sensitive to things like this...i would consider it a huge blessing if Ben speaks like Gedeon someday. Another reason why the guy is starting to get more under my skin.
And he looked great in that pink shirt.

Ace-- the falsetto got old real quick. I'm so thinking he's gay now, my gay-dar is just going off constantly. does anyone else think this? he seems way too gentle and sensitive and kind to be straight. he is awfully nice to look at so i don't mind if he stays around awhile longer.

Chris-- couldn't get into that song. great singer though.

Taylor-- is losing a bit of weight and looks pretty hot when he's not spazzing around like a kid who needs his Ritalin. Good performance but the tics are out of control.

no one else stood out enough for me to even comment on.

Ace -- Personally, I found the song annoying. He's cute, but I am still not that impressed vocally.

Chris -- My fave, though tonight wasn't his best.

Taylor -- Did a respectable job with the Doobies song, but the "moves" have got to go.

Bucky -- Eh.

Will -- Cute, but eh.

Elliott -- He did fairly well, but I don't get all the love for him.

Kevin -- Goodbye, please.

Gedeon -- I like him and his style.

I see Taylor has started the "change". I knew they would try to make him look younger and hipper if it looked like he was going to make the top twelve. The hair definately lost a bit of its gray. The guys "dancing" was beyond annoying and he looked like an eight year old who needed his ritalin. Utterly ridiculous.

I like Chris but tonight was not his best performance.
Ace is a cute boy toy but vocally, I am not convinced. Lis, I do not think he is gay. He has a girlfriend who is a beautiful, black, model/actress. Someone posted a picture of the two on one of the boards. I believe it said they have been a couple for about a year or so.

Taylor is still my favorite. I don't know that he is really in control of his dance moves? He just seems so *into* his performances. But it could be a shtick like dummy Kellie. I hope not!

I wonder about Ace, too (the gay thing). He is just adorable but he does seem a bit contrived, too.

I actually thought Bucky gave his best performance last night. He still needs to go, though.

And Kevin. I think they (American Idol) are doing this kid a huge disservice by making him feel like he has any amount of talent. Last night he reminded me of a little boy performing at his grandparent's nursing home. I know he can hold a tune, but so can my eleven year old step-son. Just because he can sing in key doesn't mean he needs to be on American Idol!

This season as a whole is pretty boring for me.

That's hot. He did a really good job with that one. There were some sharp notes though, Simon was right. But Paula didn't hear them cuz she was swooning and I don't know why Randy didn't. Damn that smile though, damn it to hell!

ITA! He's sixteen but he's very immature and the song choices (and lisp) reflect that. He does have a nice sounding voice though and he can sing in tune, maybe he'll be ready in the future but he is not now.

I hate Gedeon's hair, I know, how shallow of me.

I usually don't even watch Taylor because the antics get too weird for me but I love the sound of his voice - I just listen.

Bucky was good last night I thought! The mustache needs to go.

Will, not bad, stupid song, not in the same league with the others.

Chris, boring song, good performance. I'm with you, Sorceress, bust out the Pearl Jam!

Elliot sounds good but I don't get the whole thing with him either. Maybe if he picked songs that really moved me I'd feel differently. Didn't he do Bryan Adams? WTF? Too vanilla.

Yup, they are dead weight at this point. I can't stand that Will guy, actually, I hope he get the LEAST number of votes because that guy is a little drama kid wannabe. Ugh. He always tries to be "on show" and has anyone else noticed his horribly fake smile that he puts on anytime he senses that the cameras are on him? It's not natural, it's all immature fakery. The boy is grating. Get him out of here.

Taylor was hysterical last night. I laughed so hard tears were running down my face. I'll say this for him, he's having fun and acting like he doesn't give two sh*ts what people think so hats off to him! I like his voice, he sounded better last night than last week that's for sure. That song choice was perfect for him.

Chris let me down a bit, I was hoping for something a bit more engaging. I didn't understand what Simon meant when he said that Chris's performance was too self-indulgent. I didn't think his song choice last night was any different than ithe stuff he normally sings .

Gideon was good, he just needs to control his mouthal movements.

Elliott wasn't that great last night and Ace is just eye candy with no vocal substance.

Bucky--- meh.

Maybe he just hasn't "come out" yet, plus he love's Michael Jackson, what heterosexual man loves MJ? But he still must stay, strickly for eye candy.
