^Tivo is awesome. I get to record it during my night class now & not have to worry about missing AI woohoo

For those that watched, could you guys believe Paula said yes to that one crazy guy who was like jumping around everywhere? I thought her & Randy were just gonna say yes as a joke & not actually give him a thing to go to Hollywood, but they actually gave it to him & everyone is really confused now. They've NEVER let a bad one through that I can remember.

And did you guys see Simon meow?  :lol:

ok ok....please correct me if I'm wrong, but I SWEAR that I heard them playing ATM at the end of the show when they were showing everybody who had advanced, right before the montage of really bad singers...anyone else catch this?  It was kinna low, so I could be wrong, but it really sounded like it.

This guy is gonna get crushed in Hollywood, there's NO way he can go farther!

So about the show, I saw a couple of people I liked already. We'll just wait and see, hehe.

Back to what the show is about, there were a couple of good people in San Francisco!
I liked the brunette girl, Kathryn McPhee her name was?
I haven't been blown away so far like I was last year with Carrie but the auditions aren't over yet so...

I've been rooting for Mandisa since I saw her audition. She's been the only one that I have really liked so far. Of course there have been other good ones, but there hasn't been anyone that I have liked as much.

Oh guess who got booted from the show...the two black twins because of the crimes they committed & I guess they are recording anyways with a record company or something. I'm kinda glad cuz I didn't like them. They were too cocky LOL.

Hope today's show will be better.

Ohh did you guys watch tonight? Remember that guy who got through & who came off really cocky...his name was RJ/Ronnie Norman? Well I sent him a message on myspace (a lot of the contestants have one) to say I remembered his name & really liked his voice & he sent me a message back & part of it was telling me to tell everyone that he's not really that cocky & that AI edited it pretty badly. He actually seems like a really cool guy.

Surprised he replied cuz he's been getting so many messages from his friends. I like him now. Definitely in my top 3 favorites so far.  :)

I felt really bad for the girl who came back a second time because the judges liked her and she was very nervous. She was adorable but her singing was very slightly better the 2nd time.  :?
Dang, next Tuesday is the last auditions' show and I haven't found someone to root for yet!
Wait & see next week then: Hollywood baby!
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on February 04, 2006, 01:13:45 am
I felt bad too. And the only reason she even had to get on the plane was because the auditions weren't really in Austin because of Katrina so they had to fly her & all the others to SF, California... they weren't even in Austin. Yeah just a little info. the show left out. It's funny cuz the producers say they didn't think it'd be a big deal, but the show kept empathizing how they were in Austin. I think the producers are screwing with us more this season than ever.

I know...& someone from an AI group said they were in Austin cuz that's where she's from...then someone else said they think"Katrina Fallout" means that all the Katrina victims were taking up space in hotel rooms and stuff like that, so maybe they had to fly the contestants to SF, California. I'm more confused now lol oh well.

lol...yeah I have a few favorites too. I really like the cowboy & the rocker. I almost cried when RJ Norman didn't make it haha I loved his performance.

I'm SOOO glad they kicked the two twins who got arrested off the show. I can't stand them. I wonder if we will still have to put up with watching them since they filmed that a while ago.

Who do you guys like?

There can NEVER be too much idol. haha...that is why I just got dvr for tivo, so I can watch one thing while recording another. I love whoever invented that.

btw, I made a thread for him, but you guys might wanna check out Taylor Hicks music (the gray hair dude). I'm so rooting for him...& Mandisa cuz i've always liked her. I'm so glad they both made the top 24.

Did you guys know she was on Star Search? She's not bad...I think she'll be in the top 12.

Oh & I really don't like Kellie Pickler...I probably would, but she said she never sung infront of a lot of people or something in her first audition & acted like this was her first major thing, but she won a pagent & sung infront of a lot of people in her hometown so she's had a ton of experience. That's the only reason I don't like her, cuz she kinda lied. I know way too much about Idol lol.

And guys, you really might wanna look at this. It's keeping track of whose winning so far. http://www.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/Predictions.asp

I can't believe Kellie is first...I really didn't think she was that strong tonight, but at least Mandisa is way up there too.

Mandisa can obviously sing but I didn't like the song she sang.

I was won over by Lisa last night. I like her now. I knew she looked familiar, I saw her on Star Search.

I was surprised by Ayla. She sang that song much better I would have expected.

Kellie is just too cute.

As far as tonight, I really liked Taylor, Sway, Chris, Ace, and Elliott.

Kevin was surprisingly good.

I think for the girls Brenna and Stevie should be going home and for the guys I think Bobby and Patrick should go home.

Title: American Idol 5
Post by: BWilli on February 24, 2006, 12:52:47 pm
i'm not much for high pitched noises, but Sway was better than Pat in my opinion....and Smiles (name?) sang Shout pretty well, very entertaining i thought.


the pretty chick who got booted, i was surprised that she was voted off.  she wasn't great, but not terrible either...i knew Bobby and that other girl (name?) would def get voted off
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Steveau on February 24, 2006, 03:03:55 pm
Patrick was pretty bad IMO plus he wasn't good looking enough to get votes. Sway was good because that song was very hard to do. It can make you look terrible if you're not a good singer.

Yeah I think the Shout performance was good too, it was really entertaining. I just don't think overall he should be the American Idol if we had to choose over Patrick is what I was trying to say.

But I agree with you about the girl who got voted off, I actually liked her, but then again with the whole Maxim thing coming out & her attitude last night, I'm not totally upset about it.

I can't stand Kellie "pick me" Pickler. Please tell me i'm not the only one.

Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Steveau on March 01, 2006, 06:23:23 pm
I don't know how anyone can not like her but I'm a bit biased. I find her irresistible. She's just too cute IMO.

I think that the people going home are Heather and Brenna but if one of them stays I wouldn't be surprised if Kinnik left. This week's girls were all choosing terrible songs except for Ayla, Kellie, and Melissa.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on March 01, 2006, 08:38:44 pm
I think the guys are a lot better this year in general...the only girls I really like are Mandisa & Katharine. Maybe Ayla too. A lot of people on the myspace AI group can't stand Kellie either.

Gedeon really surprised me tonight & Chris...wow!!! He just made me forget everyone elses performance, it was amazing.

but i am tired of Pickler and Covington....they act like they can't drive 20 minutes and get "normal" food...

"I had my first spinach salad in L.A." ...honey, you can drive up the road and get one...try it next time.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Steveau on March 02, 2006, 07:20:06 pm
Hoey, normal food for them is probably very different from our normal. They're probably from very rural areas so it's going to take them time to adjust to the big city. They both seem very much like the Beverly Hillbillies.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: LimeTwister on March 02, 2006, 08:15:05 pm
I live an hour away from both of them...they can drive 20 minutes up the road and get to a chain food restaurant...such as Chili's, Ruby Tuesday's, Applebees...etc.

"Rural" doesn't mean it takes 5 hours to get there....

Yeah okay, I'm not sure I understood the whole food jokes with Simon... :?
Alright, I finally caught up and saw all the shows from the 2 previous weeks!
Luckily, all my fav' girls are still there. And Carrie was there! yaaaaay!! :D
I don't see what the problem is with Kellie: she IS adorable. Period.
And now since I'm being lazy, I'm gonna copy and paste what I posted on my LJ: (warning, this is pretty long!)

I have a weird favorites choice this year: I'd say they fall into 2 categories.

1- the ones I like the most are:
- Katharine McPhee: she's part of the 1st group, being described as "good voice, likeable and everything". I just don't know why but I like her a lot, not the best vocals but there's something about her that definitely attracts me,
- Ayla Brown: better vocals than Katharine, she also falls in the same group. Great girl, I like her a lot too,
- Kellie Pickler: again, not the best vocalist but I have the same feeling as all the judges: you just gotta love this girl! She's so cute, adorable and fun,
- Melissa McGhee: now I don't remember her from the auditions, I think they didn't air hers. But I'm growing more and more fond of her each week, I don't know why. I like her unique voice and she has a good personality too,

2- now the 2nd group: I'd call them "the best vocalists but for some reason I like them less":
- Lisa Tucker: amazing voice, great personality but I don't know, I get a mixed feeling about her without being able to say why. Maybe she's too young? I don't know...
- Paris Bennett: I don't dig her voice that much but she's good. Kinda like the same feeling as Lisa with the youth thing,

- Mandisa: amazing voice as well. But I'm gonna be a Simon Cowell here: it's not just about the voice, a girl's gotta have the whole package as they say. But I can definitely see her doing something in the future if she doesn't win, great potential! She's not a fav' of mine but I had to put her name here and give her props.

Apparently people on the AI board didn't get it either cuz they are sending fox emails wanting to replace her now & every other post is about it. I'll explain it if you want cuz I get it.

And the problem with Kellie for me is, she said she's never sung infront of a lot of people & acting like she's never done anything like this, but she won & sung in a huge pageant thing & if you see all the pics & stuff on her fan sites, she seems totally different than who she is saying she is. That's why I don't like her. Plus her voice isn't that strong compared to some of the others.

Apparently people on the AI board didn't get it either cuz they are sending fox emails wanting to replace her now & every other post is about it. I'll explain it if you want cuz I get it.

Yes, if you can PM me the explanation, that'd be cool! ;)

Quote from: "Laura"
she won & sung in a huge pageant thing & if you see all the pics & stuff on her fan sites, she seems totally different than who she is saying she is. That's why I don't like her. Plus her voice isn't that strong compared to some of the others.

I agree with the quality of her voice but do you have some links to those pictures you're talking about?

I can post a couple here. These are from http://www.kelliefans.com

http://www.carriegraphics.com/images/Blends/KPBlend001.jpg

The ones in the second pic. definitely don't look like her...it's from when she was the pageant in 2004. And I really wouldn't care, it's just that she didn't mention ANY thing about it on idol, it's like shouldn't she be proud of that & not try to hide it just to get votes? They had a bunch of others, but I guess you have to be a member to view them now.

And i'll just give you the thread about the theory for Paula's comments cuz it's hard to explain. http://myidol.idolonfox.com/Boards/topic.aspx?tid=56098

Post by: Laura on March 07, 2006, 07:39:27 pm
Scroll down a little & you'll find clips of both of her comments. http://www.opposites-attract.net/ The thread I posted should explain at least the first one.

Oh & about tonights show, first of all I usually love Simon but HE FREAKING SAID HE PREFERRED KELLIE OVER CARRIE?! wtf was that all about? Especially when Carrie was just on there last week, that was absolutely rude. He even said she wasn't the best singer, yet he likes her over Carrie?! Someone please explain. I actually liked Kellies performance until he said that.

Anyways, Mandisa rocked as usual & I loved Ayla's & Melissa's performance. We need a rocker chick this season.

Most of these people have more experience than they lead on. People just don't get up on national tv having never sung in front of big crowds.

Kinnik has got to go this week. I'm afraid the other one leaving might be Ayla or Melissa. I can live with Melissa going even though I kinda like her voice but I hope Ayla stays.

I agree with your shock over the Carrie comment but I think he just meant on the likability factor. I'm positive he didn't mean singing wise or else he's been taking hits on Paula's crackpipe.

I know that, but why would Kellie say she's never sung infront of a lot of people before when she has? That's kinda lieing, wouldn't you think? And none of the others flat out lied like she did.

I didn't say she hasn't. I'm sure she has but the whole show lies about the people on it because I'm sure everyone on it has done a fair share of public singing. They want to create the illusion that we're discovering them.

Yeah it's just the thing that bugs me about her is not only the lieing, but she's playing the whole small town/dumb blonde act at the same time. The others are at least being real. And I mean, come on "I tried salman today" "mink?!" I seriously rolled my eyes on that. At least Carrie was real last season even tho she was from a small town.

I was thinking that about Ryan too, but I mean she probably made a big deal out of it otherwise he wouldn't have known & she didn't have to act dumb with the mink comment. I dunno, it just irritates me lol. And I swear I probably would like her if she just tried to be more real.

Sorry if I'm being hard on her, it's just how I feel & I've never disliked anyone from AI this much before.

I KNOW!!!!!
I was like "whaaaaat?!".
I mean, I like Kellie too (like Steveau) but there's NO WAY I like her better than Carrie. Carrie's da bomb dawg! haha
Anyway, I think Kellie did an awesome job this week, I was actually impressed with her vocals. The whole "dumb blonde" thing was funny but a bit too much in my opinion.
I agree that Kinnik has to go, I've never liked her.

And Ghisy, yeah Kinnik def. has to go lol at least we can all agree on that  :lol:

I have a feeling Lisa will be going home too cuz one of the producers was on the news this morning saying one going home is obvious (Kinnik) but the other is a shocker. I loved Lisa's performance but I'm gonna bet it's her since I don't think the judges thought she did her best.
Title: American Idol 5

Aww I hope it's not her. I would rather see Lisa go even though I liked her performance the other night. It'll be a tough one.

And whoa, Chris rocked again tonight! He's definitely my favorite now after Taylor. What was up with Kevin's performance tho? Starry Starry night? lol I had to change the channel.

Overall, my favorites are Chris, Taylor & Mandisa. I'm starting to like Melissa & Katharine more each week to so we'll see. What about you guys? Btw, Chris got offered a part as the lead singer in the band Fuel...

Post by: Gina on March 09, 2006, 09:32:41 am
I heard that about Chris.
honestly, if I were him,
I'd take up that offer :wink:
anyway, I love Chris... definately my fav.
I can't stand Taylor, I tried to give him a fair shot
but he just bothers the CRAP outta me.  Can't take it.
There's a bunch of others I really can't stand either....
oh well... I'm still hooked.  Rootin' for Chris.

I don't watch American Idol... ever.
However last night I turned on the TV and it was still on FOX from the last time I had it on and I heard "Broken"(by Seether & Amy Lee) and made me go o_O So I listened to him do the entire song and the dude did a really good job on it. And then Simon bitchslapped him because the show is "American Idol" and he wants pop music instead and said "Broken" was boring to him. pft, the dude actually had potential of being a good lil rockstar.
But like I said, I dont watch the show. *shrug*

Post by: Laura on March 09, 2006, 11:29:12 am
haha don't mind Simon, he was an ass the whole week. I think he usually likes Chris.

And you should've seen his Fuel performance last week. I'll try & find a clip of it if you want cuz that was what made Fuel offer him the part. He sang "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)".

Post by: Steveau on March 09, 2006, 09:09:26 pm
it went how I thought it would. I'm sad Ayla is gone but I expected it.

I'm tired of Chris and I don't know what he'll do on showtunes week. He can only do the same kind of songs.

I think Katharine has a shot to win but I think Taylor will probably win.

My favorites made it into the top 12. I really like Paris and Taylor.

BWilli, Will Makar, Gedeon, Aila (basketball player), and Kaneek (I think? I didn't watch the girls) didn't move on to the top 12.

Ayla was voted off!!!!!! I still can't believe it. When I saw it was down to her and Melissa (and even though I do like Melissa!), I was like "ok, Melissa's gone" and then I was wrong.
Wow wow, this IS a shocker...
So that leaves, in order for me, Katharine, Kellie and Melissa as my favorites.
I just have a feeling about Katharine, I don't know, not the best singer in the competition as I said before but I sense a "thing" in her.
As for the guys, no surprise there, I'm glad Bucky made it against Gedeon.
But y'all know I'm a ladies' man so...:P

I think Chris will do fine, they've had rockers in the competition before. And I'm surprised to hear you say that about Taylor. I hope him, Mandisa or Chris wins. I'm sad about Gedeon leaving though, especially since his dad just died before the semi-finals...gotta be hard  :cry:

Post by: Steveau on March 10, 2006, 03:48:09 pm
Of all the guys Ace probably has the best voice but I don't think he's popular enough to win it all since AI is basically a popularity contest.

My final 4 is Taylor, Katharine, Kellie and Elliott in that order. I think Taylor will kill everybody on Stevie Wonder Night.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on March 10, 2006, 06:43:02 pm
If this is a popularity contest, Kellie is gonna win. AI wants her to & I have a feeling she will, as much as I hate to say it. Hope I'm wrong.

Hmm I have 3 favorites, but for the final 4 I think i'll add Katharine in there cuz I like her also.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Steveau on March 11, 2006, 08:37:47 pm
She's popular but I don't think her popularity will be enough because her voice isn't strong like Carrie. Her popularity will probably carry her into the top 4 but I think Taylor will take it because he's popular and can really sing and chooses songs that fit his voice. I think Katharine will be 2nd and could win because she has a great voice and could become popular as the show goes on. I've already seen her take a little bit from Kellie in the likability department. I guess living with her is helping her to be more cute.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on March 11, 2006, 08:44:36 pm
haha yeah i've kinda noticed that too.

And your probably right about Kellie, I hope you are anyways cuz I would be thrilled if Taylor won.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Ghisy on March 16, 2006, 02:02:53 pm
Didn't anyone watch the show this week?


SPOILERS AHEAD!


Anyway, I'm very sad Melissa is gone, it's just not fair: she forgot the lyrics, so what? that doesn't make her a bad performer.
Out of the bottom 3 this week, I thought Ace was gonna go, he's not that good in my opinion but I guess his good looks keeps him in the competition.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on March 16, 2006, 05:08:25 pm
The reason Melissa got voted off in my opinion was because of the lack of exposure. I mean, notice how KEVIN is still there. And I know you all love Kellie, but her ditzy act is getting sooo tiresome to watch. I could tell the judges were getting tired of it the night she performed too, even Ryan. I mean nobody can be that dumb, I don't care where your from.

I agree with you about Ace. I don't really dig his voice. He's definitely cute tho, I have to admit it lol.

Btw, did you guys see the Ace sign telling him to give her a hug for her birthday in the beginning? That was my friend Jennah I know from a Paula board I go to  :) she won tickets through a celeb. charity auction I was like "I know her!" haha
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Steveau on March 16, 2006, 10:59:31 pm
I was okay with the elimination since it's obviously a popularity contest so Kevin will probably stay much longer than he should but Melissa really shouldn't be forgetting lyrics at this point in the competition. She sounded good even with the mistake but I'm glad Lisa stayed.

I like Ace's voice. I think he's got the best all around voice among the guys because he has range. Most of the guys this season have pretty limited range.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on March 16, 2006, 11:45:33 pm
I guess the whole Michael Jackson song Ace did that one time ruined it for me cuz I did like him at one point. Then the same thing kind of happened with the Stevie song he did...like his voice seemed higher or something.

Simon is predicting Taylor & Chris in the final two. I think I am too even tho I love Mandisa as well. This is like the first time where I wish more than 1 could win haha.

I really liked his Michael Jackson song. I didn't think he could pull that off but he did it.

I'm so sick of Chris and his style (I hate that kind of music.) I hope the top 4 will be Taylor, Katharine, Kellie, Lisa in that order but Chris will most likely be there instead of Lisa. I like Bucky better than Chris even though Chris sings better.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on March 17, 2006, 03:47:05 pm
Man the Michael Jackson song was like painful to listen to. Maybe it's because I wasn't familiar with the original version.

And you don't like Chris' style of music? Wow I love it. I'm not into a lot of rock bands, but I love the kinds of songs he does like Evanescence, Fuel, etc.

Btw, for any Melissa fans here is a good interview she did: http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1173973_3_0_,00.html

Nope I don't. I don't like loud music. I guess my preference in music is different from most here. I'm a more R&B kind of guy. It's hard when you haven't heard a song before. I never heard that Fuel song before.

Just playing devil's advocate here.  Paris Bennett is overrated.  Last night she started flat and ended sharp.  She can belt out notes but she doesn't have great control.  When you compare her with Katherine, who has remarkable control and is on pitch 99.9% of the time, Paris falls short.  Same thing with Kevin (who I refer to as Harry Potter).  Paula needs to stop saying "people love you" when contestants sing poorly because that fuels the popularity contest that is not based on vocal talent.  Yes the American Idol needs to have "the whole package" yet there are maybe two or three contestants who I feel really do have it.  And they probably won't make it to the top three because they aren't as "popular" as Harry Potter or Paris or even Taylor Hicks.  People do love them, but they are loved for the wrong reasons.  I didn't watch Idol last year because I hated the Fantasia season.  I thought this year would be different, but it is not turning out to be so.  This is probably going to be the very last Idol I watch.  And that's too bad because this show used to be so good and it used to be about talent.  I'm not so sure that Kelly would have won or even been in the top 2 if she were to compete now.  The way people vote has changed since then.

I'm glad Kevin was voted off, the whole "people adore you" thing was really beginning to annoy me, so sorry but good riddance.
Next to go should be Bucky in my opinion.
About Paris, I have to agree with Nikki here: she obviously can sing but is lacking control (maybe due to her age?). Lisa was pretty average for me this week too.
I'm still a huge fan of Katharine and I might be rooting only for her from now on. But and, as odd the whole dumb thing with Kellie is getting (man, I'm sure she's not that dumb at all!), I still can't help but like her and it seems like she's getting stronger week after week.

I have to agree that Lisa didn't sing Because Of You well, despite the fact she has a great voice.

Thank you, Steveau!  We had a big discussion about that whole thing at the myidol forums, and we have come to the conclusion that voter turnout this week was low.  This is what was mentioned there:

-1- Ryan didn't mention the number of votes cast on the show, so the number probably was not impressive.
-2- Many of the performances were bad so they probably didn't get many votes.
-3- Katherine did so well, and was told so, so many people may have figured she was safe without their votes.
-4- The producers of the show reserve the right to disqualify any votes they deem improperly cast; therefore, they may have (ab)used that power to cause a shakeup to discourage the low voter turnout.

Some of these points are conjectural, but they're all based on facts.  I guess all we can do is vote for who we like, whether we think they need our votes or not.  Regardless of who wins in the end, though, Katharine will always be my idol from this year. :D

Dustin, you go to those evil idolboards? *shivers* the msn one is so much better & it's so much easier to keep up with haha.

I guess I'm the only one who wasn't really impressed by Katherine.
I totally agree. She butchered a good song! I normally love her, too.

Paris, Taylor, and Katherine are (generally) my favorites.

Ace Young had an appearance on the UPN's Half and Half like a year ago...the rerun is on tonight, and I think it's funny.  They called him "Ace" on the episode and he was sorta the focus of the episode.

Hey, y'all, I'm watching Idol tonight on a slight delay.  I think I'm about a half-hour behind.  Paris just went off the stage and Ace is coming on.  Has Katharine sung yet? :?:
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Steveau on April 04, 2006, 08:03:32 pm
Funny enough, I thought Ace did the best this week even though it was Kellie's strongest genre. Taylor was a disappointment but I'm still voting for him. I liked Elliott. Chris was better than I expected. I think Bucky will be in the bottom 3. Mandisa has to go.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on April 04, 2006, 08:46:17 pm
I thought Ace & Chris did horrible because of the song choice. They were soo boring like Randy said to one of them.

And I usually hate Bucky, but he surprised me tonight. So did Kellie even though we all knew they were gonna do good.

As for Mandisa...it's country week, so of course this is gonna be her worst week lol.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: zurielshimon on April 04, 2006, 08:54:53 pm
I'm going to have to watch it again.  I'm not sure if Katharine nailed her performance or not, but I'm pretty sure Ace screwed his.  Taylor's sounded a little hammered and some of the other ones should have bolted.  I had such high hopes for this season.  Maybe next week....
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on April 05, 2006, 01:30:54 am
Yeah i'm not sure about Katharine either. But country week was hard on almost everyone, so yeah. The rock band Queen is gonna be helping them next week...should be interesting haha.

8O no way. Of course she was gonna suck at country, but to vote her off?!

Taylor, Katharine & Chris are the only reasons for me to watch now.

Even Nigel the producer said he couldn't sleep because of the votes in an earlier interview he did on Ryan's morning show.

I'm still rooting for Katharine and Kellie though ;)

You guys must be hearing a completely different show than me because I thought Ace was the best of the night. Mandisa sounded horrible and she was bad last week too. I don't think you shouldn't be voted off just because it's not your genre.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: BWilli on April 06, 2006, 05:58:34 pm
meh...I think Ace has gotten worse with each week.

sad to see Mandisa go...she really does have a great voice...was hoping it would've been Paris going home...can't stand her
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Laura on April 06, 2006, 08:15:52 pm
Mandisa only had 2 bad weeks & has never been in the bottom 3 while Ace has been in the bottom 3 for a while & hasn't done that great so it was country week & MAYBE current hits week that did it for her. We know she's a great performer & has the most powerful voice so it doesn't make sense that she went home.

Btw, Shakira refused to help the contestants on current hits week, which is why most of them sucked, so I blame Shakira for that one :lol:
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: B on April 06, 2006, 08:33:44 pm
I wasn't surprised to see Mandisa go, knowing that after all American Idol is a glorified popularity contest until they get down to the final few people anyway, but it still kind of sucks because there are at least 3 people who should have been gone before her.

Title: American Idol 5
Post by: zurielshimon on April 13, 2006, 07:42:05 am
Bucky's singing just wasn't strong enough to blend in with the band this week, and Elliot had no dynamic in his performance; it was all sung at the same loud volume.  Without a doubt, the top three this week were all told to sit down right at the beginning of Wednesday's show.  Once that happened, I wasn't worried about the other five.  Not this week.

The theme was old standards that Rod Stewart had recorded in his 'Songbook' series.  I've still got it on my DVR if you wanna come over and watch it.  I don't have the list of what everone sang, but it was an excellent show!
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Dancernl on April 19, 2006, 08:33:28 am
I also missed it last night, but here is the song list.  The theme was Standards:

Chris: "What at Wonderful World"
Paris: "These Foolish Things"
Taylor"  "You Send Me"
Elliot:  "It Had to be You"
Kellie:  "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered"
Ace:  "That's All"
Katerine: "Someone to Watch Over Me"

I voted heavily for Kellie and I'm glad she's staying. I expected Ace to leave and now I just pray for Chris and Paris to be gone. I was hoping that the genre would be opera when they showed Bocelli because that would have definitely gotten Chris voted off. :twisted:

How do u find out who had the highest votes? I was kinda mad with the results. Kellie was definately not the best singer in the group, but the show wont be the same without her. I hope Paris goes next week, then Taylor, then Chris, then Elliot. I hope Katherine wins!! I don't know why everyone likes Chris soo much...he can't sing that good.... Katherine is definately the best!

Kellie was aweful this week thats why she's gone.


Katherine is the best...of the girls.  Chris and Elliot are the best of the guys.  They have been since the beginning in my opinion.

I still think a guy will win this year, and if so, I think it'll be Chris or Elliot.

Whew!  'Cause I DID say Chris' name like right after he got booted off...but I figured if someone didn't want to know, they wouldn't look at this thread!   :wink:

Yeah, I always wait till I see both episodes before reading the thread ;)

If Kat doesn't make it to the finale, people should better listen to nothing than music because they have no taste! lol (wait, does that whole sentence actually make sense?  :oops: )
GO KAT!!!!!!!!! :dances:

ah B-dub you just miss the rocker Chris :-)

I said it 7 weeks ago that it would come down to these three. I think Ell is the bomb but he didn't really explode last night for some reason. :-( that's too bad. He is really good!

It will most likely end with soul patrol and Kat.

Seeing that I did my stats final today, and because they tried to act like the votes were "so close", I calculated the percentages per their saying 50,000,000 votes were taken:

33.68% - 16,840,000
33.26% - 16,630,000
33.06% - 16,530,000

Not that close  :razz:

Don't you love how statistics can lie?  :lol:

Considering there were 50 million voters, I'd say it's pretty damn close.  But yeah, I know what you mean.   :wink:

Elliot's segment made me cry.  I have no idea why.  Maybe 'cause I see him as a little bit of an underdog, so watching that many people supporting him was quite touching.  *Tear*

I think the show has gone down the tubes to be entirely honest.  I lost interest this season for sure.  I used to be absolutely and totally addicted from the very beginning but this season just hasn't been interesting, I really didn't see many people who stood out, and those who did - cough cough Chris... got the boot.  They gotta find some better talent if they're gonna continue the show.

I would have felt the same way if Chris made the Finals. Guess it all depends on who you're rooting for. I really think Katharine had the highest number of votes last week because if she hadn't I think they would have told Taylor he was safe because I think everybody expected him to be in the Finals.

I really love both Taylor and Katharine, and they are exactly the two I wanted at the top, even before the final 12 were revealed. :D Between them, though, I can't decide, so I'll just let America decide it for me.
Title: American Idol 5
Post by: Gina on May 22, 2006, 08:20:33 pm
I don't think though, that any one of them cuts it... to be honest.  The entire season lost my attention a long time ago, long before Chris got cut.  So really, I don't think it had much to do with that for me.

Yeah I called the final 3 as well about 9 weeks ago. I'm happy how it's played out so far. I feel that Kat is really good for her age and has a better vocal talent. She will get better with time. Damn! Taylor has such charisma consistently week after week. Such a great entertainer!!! You can tell he is a great guy and so much fun. America loves him for who he is.
 
Taylor has it made in the bag regardless of the the votes from idol.
He is one of his own.

They shouldn't force Kat to have her 1st single be the one that isn't all that. Even the judges said the song wasn't as good as she is. The song almost seems too low for her. She has great range but why not have her sing a SONG THAT focuses on the stronger part of her voice? The song was not her personality at all.

Regardless
I love them both.

It's like comparing two opposites. It's hard to compare them together.

Post by: Steveau on May 23, 2006, 08:25:51 pm
I'm voting for Katharine but I thought they gave her a terrible song for her voice. Taylor got a bad one too but at least it left him room for some improvising whereas Katharine really couldn't do anything with hers the way it was written. They should have done what they did the first season and made them sing one common song because you can't judge them on different songs. That just isn't fair.

wasnt really impressed by either of them last night...i thought Taylor had the better of the two original songs, however i agree that they should've sang the same song.

i dont care who wins at this point b/c i never really dug either of them, however if Kat wins, I think i'll be more disappointed

We had training today and before we got into it we did this exercise where the instructor would give you two choices and you moved to the side of the room so say, Email or snail mail. For the last one she says Katherine Taylor. And I am like who is Katherine Taylor? She meant American Idol I was like whaaaaa? I don't watch that show. Those people can't sing. Haha. I know you people do like them and the show so yay for you.  Everytime I flipped the channel I would have to change it cause those people were horrible. Thought it was funny and would share.

I'm so glad for him!  Like I've said before, I would love to see him perform live, and I would certainly check out his album.

Katharine, on the other hand, I will buy her album as soon as it hits the shelf, if not before, with or without a preview (though probably without because I'd rather save the excitement!).

I actually thought last year's show was better because Carrie with Rascal Flatts and Bo with his group (I forgot their name) was better than Meatloaf and Toni Braxton. The surprise Prince act was cool if you like him but I don't really like him aside from the Purple Rain album.

I thought the best part of the show was the Wolfgang Puck with Kellie segments. I just love that girl!

As usual, I fast-fowarded through most of it.  I thought Meatloaf was ridiculous.  Totally not my thing.  

I'm happy with the outcome...always rootin' for the underdog!!   :wink:

Hey can you do me a favor... when you watch it back can you see if you notice anything different about the judges? Some friends of mine saw Corey Clark outside of the kodak & totally cussed him out... lol.

Im surprised Paula didnt like freak out when the camera was on cuz my friends said off camera she was REALLY pissed & Simon & Randy were a little irked too, which is not like them at all.
