I happen to like Bucky. Taylor is the one that gets on my nerves. Kevin will be gone soon enough. Remember America did get rid of that creep Scott. It took a while but America finally woke up. Same thing will probably happen with Kevin. It was nice seeing Bo again. I love his smiile.

It was good to see Bo, but I was very disappointed in his performance, and I'm a HUGE Bo Bice fan. The song was a snooze, and he sounded very out-of-tune. However, his hair was very shiny and bouncy. And I have to tell you, if that's the only nice thing I can think of to say about him...

Edited to Add: Isn't it odd that there are two sets of twins in the Top 12?

I know Bucky has a twin, who is the other

Ace has a twin brother, who is obviously as dreamy as he is.

Dag, I still gotta watch the results show from last week, don't wanna read this thread yet.

But I wanted y'all to know that starting this week (I think, maybe it already started), TV Guide Channel (if you have it) will be airing "Idol Chat" (or "Idol Tonight"?) an hour before each Tuesday episode...

JG - I find that's a problem with DVRing (isn't it nice to create new verbs?)- you SWEAR you'll watch what you recorded, but somehow, other things sort of get in the way. Like I knew someone who recorded the Godfather Saga...

I recorded the Saga - just didn't unplug the unit and bring it in here to see if I can dump it onto the computer. What else has been hindering that is that my computer is starting to give me problems, and I am looking to get a new one first...

As far as AI, I just watched Thursday's episode, and....

WTF IS GOING ON WITH THIS HORSECRAP?!?!??!!!

HOW THE F**K DID WILL & GEDEON GET VOTED OFF BEFORE KEVIN & ELLIOT?!?!!!!

Freakin' bullshit!! Especially Kevin in the Freakin' Top 12!!!!?? Starry Starry Freakin' Night?? GIMME A BREAK!!!! :rolleyes:

Okay, deep breaths...

*ARGH!!!!*

:rolleyes:

I know, I know, and Ayla before Melissa!! Puh-leeze!! Very, very angry. Hopefully, Kevin will go tonight. He's a sweet kid, but Gedeon was really, really good. He did not deserve to go.

SB, I'm sorry to tell you this but that guy named Ace will be history after tonight! :p


Don Cardi

Is that what your crystal ball told you? :p

I think that's what his brass balls told him. :p

I think Melissa is the first to go this week. She's been a bit borderline these last couple of weeks and just my guess, but I think she'll struggle during Stevie Wonder week.

My grades tonight...

Ace - I actually liked it (B+)
Kellie - Totally sucked, IMHO (D)
Elliot - Don't know, didn't move me (C)
Mandisa - Not as great as usual (B)
Bucky - One of my favorites so far (B)
Melissa - D is for Dreadful (D+) ...Simon liked it??!!
Lisa - Nice job actually! Best yet (A-)
Kevin - Surprisingly not that sucky! (B)


Gotta go - will have to watch the rest later.......

Ewwwwww! Kevin singing Part time lover . How gross is that. Who the heck is he old enough to screw?

OMG!! The one thing you learn is complete and total respect for a talent like Steveie Wonder. His songs are really, really tough to sing, so I'm not surprised that almost everyone had a tough time staying on pitch.

Ace - pleasant voice, very cute, but nothing spectacular. Not bad enough to be voted off, despite what DC says.

Pickler - zzzzzzzzzzzz

Elliott - perfectly on pitch, hit every note, not thrilled with the song, but how cute was he when he cried because he was sitting next to Stevie Wonder?

Mandisa - Not horrible, but not her usual great performance.

Bucky - Not as bad as I expected.

Melissa - as bad as I expected.

Lisa - she just doesn't inspire me. I can't say that anything was specifically wrong with that performance, but it didn't do it for me.

Kevin - far worse than I expected.

Katherine - as good as I expected.

Taylor and Paris - Missed it because I was gluing my daughter's Joan of Arc poster for History class. Damn those children!!!

Chris - the only truly awesome performance of the night, at least that I caught. He was as amazing as always.

I missed most of the last hour. I saw all the way up to Bucky, and then I barely caught Chris's performance.

I was REALLY impressed with Bucky tonight. I didn't think he could pull off a Stevie Wonder song, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Chris was just awesome. Never in a million years would I have thought that ANY Stevie Wonder song could be converted to a modern rock song. He pulled it off without a hitch. I didn't think he could pull off a Stevie Wonder song. I'm glad I was proven wrong.

I saw the 10 second clip of Katherine at the end of the show. My God, she is gorgeous, and she sings just as beautifully.

Tonight, it was Chris's night, hands-down. He's my pick for the winner of the entire competition.

Chris is a GREAT rock singer, no question. But rock singers are a dime a dozen. He really needs to move outside the box. Bo didn't win for a reason, now, did he? Too one-dimensional, no matter how good they are.

I'm still PISSED(!) that Kevin made it passed Will. You have no idea. I've pretty much lost all remaining respect I had with this competition. It has NOTHING whatsoever to do with actual TALENT once you get the stupid-ass public involved. It's ALL about who gets more votes from the 12-yr-old girls. I thought Will would get enough of those votes, but thanks to one-octave-range-clogged-sinuses Kevin, he's gone for no good reason.

Let alone GEDEON who's FAR superior!!

It's not a talent contest any more. Never really was, truthfully.

It's just -- well, except for Fantasia -- a beauty/cute/awwww contest. It's horse shit. :rolleyes:

Is my hearing going bad or did I hear Kevin say he was a sex symbol :rolleyes:

That's another thing...

This poor kid has NO idea WTF is going on around him apparently. I really think that HE thinks that he's some kind of sex symbol or something!!

People vote for that kid cuz he's just that - a kid. And no, not a sex symbol, but a dork on top of it. Which is fine; I'm a dork myself. BUT - this shit has really gone to his head, and, he thinks he's some hotshot now (rather than a pity vote), and, that could just well perpetuate itself so much that he could actually freakin' win this thing!! And, if that happens -- hell, if he's even in the Top 10 -- I don't expect this series to have any more real credibility.

Sad. But true.

The general public isn't voting on talent. And sure, he has SOME talent, and actually did a halfway decent job tonight (for a change)... but he has NO range whatsover, and he certainly is NOT one of the 12 Best in the country!! WHY people vote on just looks/story/whatever is beyond me.

If it was a spelling bee, left up to public vote somehow... this'd be one of the worst spellers ending up in the Top 12. Does that make any sense? NO, of course not. It's bullcrap.

I'm still gonna watch - at least for now - but that doesn't change the B.S. Factor at all.

Last week's results really disappointed me.

Overall, I think Chris and Katherine were the best singers last night. Chris's performance was helped out by the special effects and it made it seem like a rock concert. I noticed the Katherine/Kelly Clarkson singing comparison early on, but there's something about her personality that bugs me a bit.

Other singers:

Ace - I thought he was terrible. Sorry SB!

Pickler - I agree with SB. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Elliott - This guy is a great singer and if he had a tiny bit of personality/back story, he should be one of the favorites.

Mandisa - Has trouble when not using her power voice. That's why she did well with "I'm Every Woman" - the whole song was in power voice. Not one of her best performances but still good.

Bucky - Did OK.

Melissa - Terrible. My pick for first person out.

Lisa - Still trying to find her niche with her great voice.

Kevin - I agree with JG - he's getting a bit cocky. You know it's bad when I'm watching thinking "Why is this guy on my TV???"

Taylor - Taylor is just fun to watch. Got the longest and best ovation of the night.

Paris - Reminds me of Fantasia. Still waiting for the breakout performance. Very good last night.

Well, I still like to look at Ace, but I'm getting annoyed by his tummy-slapping bopping around. I'm sure that he gets votes for the same reason as Pickler - looks. Although why anyone would vote for the "Calamari Mink" is beyond me when Katherine is so far superior in both looks and talent.

As for Lisa, she's starting to bug me, too, and she was one of my favorites early on. As for Taylor, I just love the fact that he is the furthest thing from an AI contestant - looks, personality, etc. Same for Chris, same for Elliott. I would have to say that those three got truly got through on talent.

I, too, am waiting for Paris to come out. I've been most disappointed in her. I remember being blown away by her initial audition, and just haven't been since then.

As for Kevin, get The Blinking Fetus off my TV!!!!!!

Forget the contestants, GET RID OF PAULA ABDUL! My GOD!, it doesn't matter if you suck, she'll still praise you.

Ace, for instance. I thought the performance was great, the vocals were terrible. I agreed with Randy and Simon, but Paula's critique was just absolutely ridiculous. Somebody buy her a cheeseburger, and get her off the damn show.

Simon said it best: "Lucky for you Ace, the audience is easily pleased."

Just saw the latest Ford commercial starring the Top 12. Why oh why is Mandisa wearing jeans????

THE HORSESHIT CONTINUES! :rolleyes:

ACE in the Bottom 3 but not Kevin??

This show is a joke.

Ace... Melissa... Lisa...

Ace is Safe! *WHEW!*

Lisa BETTER NOT GO or I'm boycotting this show!

THANK YOU for one small favor. :rolleyes:

Melissa's out! (Thankfully)

Nothing personal, but next week it BETTER BE Kevin!

How oh how could Kevin NOT be in the bottom 3??? Oh, the pain!! I just don't get it!! Blinking Fetus begone!!!!!!

I hope it won't be like last season when Scott stayed week after week after week. Hopefully America will get it's act together :rolleyes:

My mom taped tonight's show and is about to watch it, so I was teasing her with the results that I found out from here...she was ready to kill me, if I'd said it!

You AI fans are nuts. :p

It seems that there's a website called votefortheworst.com that encourages people to vote for their chosen worst contestant (Kevin). Last year, they chose Scott. The website contends that since AI is so hypocritical about airing bad auditions for us to make fun of and pimping who they want to win, even if they're not as talented as other contestants (Carrie), they are just giving the contestants an even footing. They also claim that with all the millions of people who voted last year, Carrie only won by 134 votes. They claim that if Kevin gets voted off despite their efforts, they will then move on to Pickler.

Although I don't agree with this strategy because it means that other singers that truly are talented will get eliminated in place of others (anyone remember Nikko from last year?), I sort of see their point. I mean, this is supposed to be a singing competition, and it's often anything BUT that.

I was very surprised that Ace was in the bottom three. As for Lisa, I'm not so surprised not because of her talent - she's clearly one of the better singers - but she's not really connecting with the crowd and she doesn't have the personalities/back stories that others have. She's a bit more laid back.
