I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin shows up on some sitcom on Fox.

My wife thinks Katherine looks like a porno star. The surprising thing about that is ...I didn't know my wife has seen any porno movies..

I think Ace might be masking a disability. He has that distant look in his eyes.

Bucky....must be the C&W vote. Same with Pickler.

Lisa has a great voice; clear, on pitch, but she lacks that pizzaz.

Elliot - great vocals, but no style.

Final Four is looking like; Chris, Taylor, Katherine and Mandisa.

That was cold Part. :p

Where is everyone?

I was quite disappointed this week in most everyone, even the ones I thought were the best! The only ones that I thought stood out, IMHO, were Lisa and Paris.

I'm here Don Geoffy

Tonight's show was disappointing. As much as I like Mandiva, she has done a whole lot better. The only ones I liked tonight were Lisa and Bucky. Oh yeah did you see when Simon made Paula sit down? :rolleyes:

Mig, I did see that, after Elliott's performance. Ah, the problems with a drunken/drugged judge and live TV!!

I missed Lisa's performance because my daughter remembered that tomorrow there's a bake sale at school and she needs to bring something in for it, and I was at the supermarket. The others:

Kellie - take your suds and go home. The hick act is getting very tiresome.

Ace - I thought he did well, actually. Although what have they done to my Ace's hair???

Taylor - decent job, and he was toned down for once.

Mandisa - good performance, got the audience on their feet, not her best vocals. And please, Mandisa, you are so lovely, but STOP WEARING JEANS.

Katharine - just lovely in every way.

Chris - What If, What If, What If I shoved a sock in your mouth to shut you up? The pony needs to learn more than one trick, and Simon told him so.

Bucky - zzzzzzz. Simon was right. He was boring and mumbly.

Paris - Hot, hot, hot.

Elliott - I've always loved his voice, but for once I got a passionate vibe from him. He was definitely connecting with the song and the audience. I think he should get a pin that says, "I'm half deaf and I can still sing better than you."

IMHO, I think we've seen the last of Bucky.

I'm hoping that Pickle will take the suds and the clothes hanging on the line and get the fudge off my tv.

BTW SB, How did Ace sat that he got that scar? I couldn't hear what he said. My son was being The Big Show and doing wrestling moves while I was watching AI.

My take on last night...

Lisa - Did well. Finally got some emotion out of her instead of just being a singing robot. But with the voting trend, I don't know if it was enough to escape the bottom 3.

Kellie - Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Ace - Was bad as usual. I thought Simon's and Randy's facial expressions when Paula asked Ace to tell her some day how he got the scar were hilarious. Mig - I think he said that he got that scar while playing basketball. Talk about losing street cred! Say you got stabbed while saving a girl, something, anything, make something up...

Taylor - Sang really well, I thought.

Mandisa - Not to her usual standards, but good. Was it just me or did anyone think the song was too fast for her - as if she was always trying to catch up?

Katharine - Sang it well, although the number one thing it proved to me was how good Cristina Aguilera really is. Katharine needed a fuller voice to sing that song, I think.

Chris - Has sung the same song for about five weeks in a row. Sings it well though.

Bucky - My choice for gone.

Paris - Was really good. Best of the night and most entertaining.

Elliott - Like Mandisa, I thought the song was too fast for him. Like the judges said, arrangement was horrible. Still a great voice though.

My choice for bottom 3: Lisa, Bucky and Ace with Bucky leaving

Dialidol: Katharine, Ace and Bucky with Katharine leaving

NO, NO, NO!! Not Katharine!!! Who is going back to safety??
ACE?????? How is this possible?? This show sucks. Lisa or Katharine?? How does Pickler sail by week after week?? I hate this show!!

IMHO Pickle sucked to high heaven and she got away with it. I was so shocked that Bucky was safe and Katherine was in the bottom 3. You could tell she was very pissed about it. I haven't voted yet but Tuesday I will. Hopefully the person I vote for will cancel out Pickles votes. I was sad that Lisa went home

Well, Lisa was supposed to go some time (but it shouldn't have been before Bucky) and there's no way Katharine should be in the bottom 3. There's something about her personality that grates me, but on talent alone, she should be at least in the top 5.

Country week next week... Not really my type of songs...

Country is not my favorite genre, but it actually provides a wealth of good stuff for the ladies. There are so many fantastic female country singers: Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, just to name a few. I remember that everyone thought this genre would kill Fantasia, and she turned in an amazing performance of Always on My Mind.

Taylor did a good job, but I think he's trying to tone it down too much.

Mandisa started off boring and off-key, picked up at the end, but I expected better from her. I would've loved to see Mandisa sing Dolly's version of I Will Always Love You.

Elliott did as great a job as always. He has the most amazing control over his voice. He's just fabulous.

Paris did nicely, Ace was his usual boy-band self, Pickler was sexy and fun, but she has no lower register.

Chris was great and so was Katharine. For once, he stepped out of his box, and she was just downright sassy and sexy.

Bucky, who I expected to shine, was boring and off-key. Plus, he sang on the steps, a sure AI omen that you are going to be voted off because you were booooooring.

You pretty much nailed my sentiments exactly, SB.

The two biggest surprised of the night (for me at least) were Ace and Chris. I was a fan of Ace at the beginning, I've hated him for the past few weeks, but I'm glad to see him doing well again. I thought his performance was exceptional.

I'm also glad that Chris chose a different style of song than his usual "rocker" schtick. I really didn't think he would be able to pull off a slow, mellow country tune, but he pulled it off nicely. I was impressed.

Good Lord, I wanted to jump through the television when Katherine was performing. An unbelievably sexy performance, and her singing was right on the money. I actually became a bit flush watching her.

The Pickler did well, too. No surprise, given the genre.

I was VERY disappointed with Bucky. This was supposed to be his night, and he blew it, IMO. Not a terrible performance, but definitely not good enough for this stage of the competition.

Taylor was ok.

Elliot was awesome. He's just so versatile. He's got an amazing voice.

Mandisa was ok.

Paris was ok.

I voted for Chris and Katherine tonight. I predict Bucky will be eliminated tomorrow. Which is a shame, because I like him.

My thoughts on last night:

Taylor - Did OK. Nothing memorable about the performance.

Mandisa - Was off last night. I've said it before - Mandisa struggles when she's not power-belting and singing in the lower registers.

Elliott - Pretty good.

Paris - Good choice of song for her. Had trouble in some spots but did generally well.

Ace - Falsetto is back. So is the vomit on my shoes.

The Pickle - Did well, but can't understand her sometimes.

Chris - He actually sang and sang well.

Katharine - Really good performance.

Bucky - The key word is "annunciate".

My choice for bottom 3: Ace, Elliott, and Bucky with Bucky leaving (Elliot is a great singer but I don't see him connecting to a fan base like the other singers )

DialIdol Bottom 3: Paris, Elliot and Mandisa with Mandisa leaving

It better be Bucky or Pickler...

WHAT THE FUCK????!!?!?!!!!???!?!?!

Mandisa, Elliot and Paris on the Bottom 3 ?!?!?!?!???????

Mandisa VS Elliot... WTF?

Mandiva....

Well, she hasn't been as hot the past couple weeks, but still.... before Bucky and Pickler???? :rolleyes:

I knew Mandisa would go eventually, but I never thought she'd be gone this early. Especially before Bucky or the Pickler.

Honestly though, I'm glad Bucky made it. I don't think he's the best singer on the show, but he's not as bad as people make him out to be.

Now the Pickler or Ace, on the other hand...

The truth is, the AI machine was never going to let Mandisa win, so it's just as well. She hasn't been that great the last two weeks, but how on God's green earth she could leave before Bucky, Pickler, or Ace is beyond me. Terrible.

The Chosen One this year is definitely Chris, who gets a tongue bath from the judges no matter what he sings, or screams. I'm not saying he isn't talented, but c'mon!!

They've only had one male winner, and when was the last time anyone saw Ruben (not that you could miss him if you did)? They want a male, and they want Chris. And although they love the Pickler, they don't want a Carrie Understudy.
They've been pimping Chris for some time now.

Wow... DialIdol was right on this one.

It's too bad - I really liked Mandisa. Even in her interviews, I found her quick-witted and likable. She wasn't great these last couple of weeks, but like we all are saying - she's worse than Bucky, Pickle or Ace??

I too see the pimping of Chris, but what's the deal with the pimping of Pickle?

Pickler is very attractive and there must be a good number of people buying her act, since she's never hit the seal, in spite of some poor performances. Anything for the ratings, my friend!! The judges will continue to pimp whoever they feel will bring in the ratings, even if they don't want them to win. I have to start checking out dialidol.com. They seem to be pretty on the money, at least with their predictions for the Bottom Three.

I don't watch American Idol. Never have.

I like 'The Apprentice'...used to watch 'Survivor', until it just got old.

That's about my limit on reality shows.

Apple

Apple, one of the reasons we like it is that it is a family-friendly show that we can all watch together. And it is amazing how you can get involved in cheering for your favorites.

Paula Abdul filed assault charges? What charges can the public file for her indecent public behavior on the show?

Paula Abdul filed assault charges with Hollywood police on Tuesday against a man who allegedly slammed her into a wall, the Associated Press reports.

The American Idol judge told police she was at a private party at about 1 a.m. on April 2 when a man she was arguing with grabbed her arm and threw her against a wall, according to a police spokesman.

"(Abdul) said she had sustained a concussion and spinal injuries," the spokesman said.

Abdul reportedly saw her doctor following the incident and said that she would make herself available for photographs of her injuries, Reuters reports.

According to the AP, Abdul, 43, gave police the man's name, but no arrests have been made.

A rep for Abdul had no comment.

Abdul, who recently renewed her Idol contract for three more years, showed no signs of distress on this week's two episodes.

Yea, I doubt a concussion victim with spinal injuries would be jumping around and dancing like a nutcase on the show. :rolleyes:

She was probably to wasted to show distress. :rolleyes:

I like this line from one of the gossip stations.

Paula to Police: I Was Straight-Up Roughed Up.

I think she was Straight-Up Shot Up.

Will Chris hold up with his heavy/hard rock approach. Bo could lean toward the pop, which kept his rock image in check. The old folks aren't going to vote for Chris when it comes down to him and.......?

Pickler is annoying. Bucky has no range. Paris may have run her string of cutesy outfits and hairdos. Now the question is....who WON'T be able to sing a Queen song?

Is AI a reality show? or is Survivor and Apprentice psuedo-reality shows?

My thoughts on last night...

Bucky - M MMMMMMM MM MMM MMMMMMMM. (That was me mumbling "I thought he was terrible.")

Ace - (stomp stomp clap) (stomp stomp clap) He Will... He Will... Be in the bottom three. Everybody...

Pickler - Kind of scary at the beginning. So so performance.

Chris - Hurt by obscure song. Sang well though.

Katharine - Good decision switching songs. Nice voice. Still irked by her personality.

Elliot - The dude can sing.

Taylor - I'm a big Taylor fan, but I'm laughing through his entire performance. Is that a good thing?

Paris - She's getting stronger and stronger every week. At times, comes off as an imitation of Fantasia (who was in the audience last night), but I guess an imitation of Fantasia is a lot better than some people.

My bottom 3: Pickler, Ace, Bucky with Bucky leaving

DialIdol 3: Chris , Bucky and Ace with Ace leaving

I thought that there were some very, very poor performances last night, and I was disagreeing with the judges over almost every single one.

I thought that the last three were very good. I thought Elliott was amazing. His voice is just beautiful. I enjoyed Taylor's performance and was glad to see him back to his old self. I thought that Paris did an excellent job.

I'm getting tired of Ace's boy band act. And why is Pickler seemingly unable to grasp the concept of paper?? And Chris - PLEASE STOP SCREAMING AT ME!! And I didn't understand the tongue bath that Katharine got from the judges. I'm usually a huge fan, but I thought that last night's performance was a huge trainwreck.

Alhtough I'm not a Bucky fan, I was impressed with the fact that he made Queen sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd.

DS - Since you turned me on to dialidol.com, I went to check their prediction. They have Ace, Bucky and Chris in the Bottom Three, with Ace going hom.
