The American Idol Thread

[Pachinko]

Because it truely needs its own thread for episode discussion and all of that baggage.

Anyone pumped? Or, should I put it like this- anyone pumped that possibly, since Kelly, we'll be graced with fresh talent?

I am optimistic. But just barely.

[PassiveObserver]

I want to see more weird people kicking ass like Taylor Hicks. I don't care what anyone says, I thought the dude owned.

[Angi]

Weeell. Not really. If it weren't for Simon, and despite Simon, alot of people get in simply "to make the show interesting." I'm hopeful, though. And I pray every day that some talent WILL show up.

[Freya]

I want to see more weird people kicking ass like Taylor Hicks. I don't care what anyone says, I thought the dude owned.

UGH I'm so SAD that he won, I honestly don't like his voice at all ... I had the McFever all season long though......I'm so sad she didn't win, she should have at least tried to pull a Clay Akin on Hicks but she didn't.

Pachi, I think Kelly did really well but I don't really remember her early stuff being all that great, I think her new songs are doing just fine and sound good but her early stuff is really, really hard for me to remember or see as memorable >.<;

[Smitty]

My friend Jay auditioned last year. He wasn't laughable enough to get in front of the judges and didn't fit a definable stereotype...but his umbrella made it onto TV in the Chicago episode! Ryan Seacrest needed one, so they paid Jay $20 for his umbrella. :p

I, for one, am a Hicks fan. More power to the guy who unashamedly does his own thing - SOUL PATROL! WHOO! :)

[Minnie]

Yech. Come 8 pm I try to dash away from the living room so I don't have to listen to the bad first round auditions. Bleeds my ears. :< (My parents are fans.)

Christopher was my fave from last season. Shame he didn't win, because he was the most charismatic of the bunch.

[Freya]

*hides under a rock*

>.> I usually love laughing at the people, but now that they've been to Minneapolis and found that it SUCKED BIG TIME I want to die. XD I have MN pride and all but some of these kids don't know they suck and don't believe they suck.

as Homer Simpson said "They sure did suck, I mean they were the suckiest bunch of sucks I've ever seen suck!"

or something to that effect.

I look forward to seeing them in Washington tomorrow :D

[Minnie]

Meh, I liked the opening clip with Prince in it. Reminded me of last night's Golden Globes. (My far less cringe-worthy TV memory so far this week)

[Sanda]

I love the fact Tailor won... he was the odd man out and still managed to show his talent and win.

But I hated when Chris left... he's great. I downloaded all the songs from his new CD and I have to say... he's a guy I'd buy the cds you know? He has what it takes.

[Akuhei]

^^ long time no see >_>

I was kind of bored at this episode of auditions, not enough people to laugh at. They spent alot more time going through people's backgrounds and stuff, making it obvious who was going to make it. One thing I did enjoy was all the people who lost trying to go through the wrong door xD.

[Pachinko]

Taylor was alright. He was unique, which was a total plus for him. But also terribly annoying.

So far, I've liked two contestants that we've seen. I really love the crack-baby girl. Most of the time, I'm totally bored by Whitney-wannabes, but dayyum, this bitch can belt a note like Alice Smith. I also really liked the latino woman who sang Blondie and Shakira. Her voice isn't super, but she's a diamond in the rough and she's totally charismatic, I love it. :)

Funny P-san, I was just talking about those two :)

I too enjoy the crack-baby girl, although...honestly she doesn't have a "star face" if you get my drift, shes got more of a "radio face"

Shakira girl? Didn't like her. Got a good voice but I find her personality a bit too bubbly and annoying for me doesn't mean I won't support her though because she did do a good job singing.

What I was really disappointed in was that kid that came out cussing and crying like a little baby. True, Randy was really, REALLY mean to him and mocking him in his face but ugh he didn't need to come out cussing like a sailor.

As Akuhei said, they spent too much time on the people, I wanted to see more who auditioned and less of their life story, although the sailor one was good and appropriate the one of the mall make-up girl wasn't needed.

[Angi]

You know what it is you all miss in all this? YOU all get to see AI when you can vote for who you like best. I get it like a month later because I live in Venezuela. If I like or don't like someone, I'm always a month behind. *pout*

You might be able to watch it like, online or something.... I'm sure some people post (at least clips) on youtube or I think you can catch up on www.fox.com cause I think you can stream directly and see the epi like the day after but I'm really unsure, I haven't checked it out myself because I watch it night of >.<

[Miki Koishikawa]

Ahhh American Idol where do I begin, haha I'm actually watching it now and the dude with the huge eyes that said he sings like Justin Timberlake was HILARIOUS trying to sing a song by n'sync and his friend was pretty funny too.

That amazoness woman rocked though.

You totally picked out my two MN favorites too!

Although I gotta say, I didn't think the voice coach was all that bad. From the perspective of someone who has also had vocal training, he had his technique down. The vibrato was a little much, but he'd know the techniques to minimize that, and his voice had a really nice tone. Dunno if I'd have put him through for this particular competition, but the amount of flack he got from the judges was just ridiculous. He was not that bad.

I also liked the guy who did the Italian aria and then pronounced the Italian wrong :p.

Really, the thing that annoys me the most is when Randy Jackson tries to sound like he knows music theory. Someone really needs to give him a dictionary of music terms or something, becaues he is musically incompetent. Seriously, the number of stupid things he says is unavoidable. Examples:

1. It is not called a "turn," it is called a "run."
2. Women do not have a falsetto.
3. While men have falsettos, when a man sings relatively high notes in chest voice, it is not falsetto.

Those are just a few.

He's dumb.

[LadyYuina]

I lost interest in watching American Idol after the first 2-3 seasons. There are more "I-don't-have-talent-but-stood-in-line-forever-to-compete-and-get-sent-home-crying" than the people who actually have talent. Personally, the only American Idol people's albums that I do like are Kelly's and Clay's, though I heard on netscape news a few weeks back that Clay is an arse. Tis a shame that Clay has such a nice voice, but is unattractive and an arse... or so netscape news claims with an article of theirs.

Aww. I love Randy. He's fat. AND black. Win.

Although he's gotten a tad meaner. Simon is still the same, a little toned downed however. His comments still bite like an old woman's buttcheeks. Paula is so quiet, I forget she's there most of the time! Until a male walks in and her deprived self is drooling in a daze. That's when I see her. However, I must admit that it's better than her "drunk by 6" tipsy attitude of last season. Yawn.

I'm already dreading the generic Stevie Wonder and Barry Manilow nights. Eww, please not. Talented singers, okay? I was thrilled that Simon hinted a possible ABBA night. HELL YES. Now we need only Etty and we are all set. :D

Crackbaby 4 Win, though. And maybe that big ass woman, the amazon one. <3

[PassiveObserver]

From what I've seen so far, I'm putting my money on the Indian kid from the other night. Kid's got talent.

[Pachinko]

They were both terrific!

I prefer the guy though. He's cute. ^_~

Man... I've always wanted to say this to Randy. He really is in need of some lessons!

You know... it's funny you mentioned this... When I'm watching this show with my family they always complain I'm too demanding and critical. I always tell them when a singer makes a mistake or when the judge says something wrong and all. hehehe They hate me for that, my family, I mean... they say I spoil their fun... but you know... it's the way I am... I'm way too perfeccionist.

[Pachinko]

Okay, my favourites: The Queens girl who lost all the weight and she sang raspy. And the girl also from New York who wore all the rainbow stuff and she's an opera student and whatnot. <3

Did anyone hear? Paula is possibly going to be replaced with Courtney Love. That is the rumor of the hour.

[kyubichan]

Courtney Love... I loved her while she was in the band but...

Anyway, has anyone else noticed that Paula is a whole lot more, uhm, trying-hard-to-be-cutesy? I mean, with the voice thing, when she comments. It's like, she's trying to make her voice sound like a child's? <.<

[Pachinko]

^All I can say is expect Love's next album to kick some ass. Two words: Linda Perry.

Paula has always been, I dunno, tipsy. She is trying to cut it out, you can tell, but I don't think it'll save her job. I'll honestly miss the fighting between Simon and her. Although, with Courtney, I'm sure there'll be even more fights to look forward to. <3

[Smitty]

Paula has always been, I dunno, tipsy.
If that is the producers' complaint about her, what in the world would be the point of replacing her with Courtney Love? :p

Pretty much the black girls are pwning everyone else this season. I've got my money on either Stephanie, Melinda or Lakisha (sp?) especially.

I was a little sad to see Rudy go. He was more talented than half the guys who stayed (Sundance, anyone? I'm sorry, that was just weird).

So how about Antonella's nude photos that just surfaced on the internet? (I hate to say it, but they're probably more interesting than her most recent performance. :/)

[IceDemon]

This season i think is a failure. They don't have any people that stand out as being amazing compared to the past seasons. Its going to be lackluster and unentertaining except for maybe Simon becuase he makes fun of everyone, which adds a little to the show but not enough to make it a great show.

[kyubichan]

Sundance is weird >.< And I don't like his voice either.

Ryan is a bit too annoying this season. Simon is just being his usual self, and not really as "mean" as he usually is, but Ryan has to butt in with his lame little side comments. He's a sad person.

[Pachinko]

Yeah, he is pretty sad. :/

If that is the producers' complaint about her, what in the world would be the point of replacing her with Courtney Love? :p
Smitteh! Obviously, you've never heard of "Cool Tipsy" and "Not-Cool Tipsy". Miss Love would be the former. :> <3

I pretty much stopped watching it. Porcelana was a goddess. A friggin' goddess. I'm honestly so pissed about her begin kicked off, I stopped watching the show. Now, I'm rooting for the fat girl w/ the red streak. Sorry, don't know her name. When she's kicked off, that's it for me. >.>

[Smitty]

Sundance is weird >.< And I don't like his voice either.

But he "loves yohhhhhhhh" :p.

The fat girl with the red streak is from around where I live. I think she has a decent voice.

Melinda's my fave, for the record.

And does anyone know why AJ got kicked off and not Sanjaya? WTF?!

[Pachinko]

And does anyone know why AJ got kicked off and not Sanjaya? WTF?!
I F*CKIN' KNOW. HELL NO.

I was seriously pissed. It's turning into a popularity contest, as usual.

[kyubichan]

AJ > Sanjaya... but AJ got cut.

The world is coming to an end.

[Freya]

I hate Sanjaya, he's such a crybaby... people only vote for him because he's a "pretty boy" (that's the only explination I could come up with but he's really not that pretty to me) I think its cause of the whole "brother sister thing/I'm here for my sister who I love desperately! *sob*" story.

[Erigion]

Vote for Antonella! Vote for more pics!

Wise advice. :bowing:

'Neways, back on topic, it's already turning into a popularity. Which is expected, but not looked upon lightly for me. And Simon "wants originality"! Bah!

[kyubichan]

Can't we all sign a petition to get Sanjaya off the show? :(

[Pachinko]

I say let's.

He isn't even that cute anymore. :<

[sakura_blossom]

Can't we all sign a petition to get Sanjaya off the show? :(

Believe me, I'll be one of the first people to sign that. I started watching American Idol, about two episodes back, and that simply can't sing.

I'm with Blake all the way.

[Erigion]

Let's not.

I knew it! There is a greater evil behind that horror... XD

EDIT:

Pretty sucky night for the Top 12.

Okay, Sanjaya still didn't get kicked off <.<

WOW.

[Smitty]

Funny story about Sanjaya. There was an article about all his many hairstyles in the newspaper I get with a little picture of him on the front. Well, I first saw the article from upside down while drinking my morning coffee, and my first thought was "Antonella? I thought she got kicked off!" Little did I know that the oh-so-effeminate face was actually Sanjaya. I felt kind of bad...but not really.

:p I thought it was funny.

Did anyone else think Lakisha wasn't very good yesterday? Melinda always makes me cry, but Jordin made me cry too yesterday...she was fantastic. And my other faves are still Chris, Blake and Gina.

[Minnie]

Melindaaaaaaah! She totally kicked ass in the last one. Mine, specifically. I am renewed in my enthusiasm for Idol.

Oh, yes. Jordin too. Talented and Very Stylish. ;O Wasn't she the closing singer in the last, last one too? They always leave the most impression on me.

add: Away with you, Sanjaya! It BURNS, goddammit!

[Pachinko]

I'm pretty sure Melinda may win. She's adorable, talented, and humble. All that we need as an "idol" I guess.

Jordin as well. Honestly, for me, Sanjaya's last performance was his best so far. But, sorry son, its too late in the game, and you pretty much suck straight across the board.

I want to have Blake's babies, btw. :>

[Smitty]

I want to have Blake's babies, btw. :>
Sorry, Pachi...it's just too late. I've already shotgunned him. :/

And I'm sorry, but even if that was Sanjaya's best so far, it still sssssucked.

[sakura_blossom]

...and Sanjaya stays yet another week, I'm just going to give up on him leaving. I'm not going to vote for him and I just change the channel every time he sings, except for last night and his crazy afro hair style. I couldn't pull my eyes away from that one.

I was sorry to see Chris leave, but I thought he was just a decent singer at best. Was it me or did Gwen Stefani actually lip sync to her own song...being American Idol I thought that was prohibited, but I like I said maybe that was just me.

[Freya]

I only watched Gwen and she looked like she was singing. I don't think she was lipping at all... could be wrong though.

Anyhow I didn't know Pherrell (sp?) looked so OLD I was... suprised to say the least >.>

[kyubichan]

Pherrell? The guy singing with Gwen was Akon ^^

Oh, and I'm with you, sakura. I have given up all hope of Sanjaya getting booted out. There are just too many sick people who continue to vote for him :(

[Javer]

I can't believe Chris Sligh got deaded. ;_; Oh well, at least now he can go back home to his wife. He was my favorite from the start, mostly because I instantly like anyone with an original sense of humor. But in retrospect, I guess he wasn't the best there anyway.

Why the hell do I follow this show? o_O

Now I remember why I don't watch American Idol, it's absolutely killer on the ears. Chris Sligh was horrible, I don't care if he sounded like Ol' Blue Eyes all the weeks before he was absolutely horrible, as was plenty of others.

Oh and Gwen Stefani was horrible. I can't believe people thought she was lip syncing.

I have no idea why people watch this crap. I hope that idiot with the chicken hair wins.

[Pachinko]

Oh and Gwen Stefani was horrible. I can't believe people thought she was lip syncing.

I actually thought it was pretty amazing. And, not as a Gwen fan, but as a fan of performances.

It was lively and colourful. Not what someone who watches AI is used to.

[Erigion]

She was the only reason I even bothered to watch the results show since I like that song and wondered how good she could do it live. Apparently, not that well when she's "performing."

I'm sick of all these musicians who are out of breath and can't hit a single note because they're too busy jumping around trying to bring "energy" to the performance.

Oh well. That'll learn me to watch live performances on American Idol.

[kyubichan]

I like "The Sweet Escape"... the song, and the performance for being not-boring, for a change... but I think the MV's horrible XD

Oh, and I have given up hope on AI. I just watch it to laugh at the little man in high shoes.

The big man with the *!tch-tits is funneh too.

[Spilled Milk]

Melinda buuuuuugs me. Lakisha is already a diva, She NEVER takes the advice of the far more seasoned professionals. Melinda's whole little Humility shtick is just not winning me over. SHe's so fakey, all she does is sing well (not amazing, well) and then blast out a powerful note at the end..EVERY PREFORMANCE. PLus theres no way she doesn't know she's good. It's just not very believable. Jordin I hope wins she's got talent.

Yeah, Melinda and Lakisha are seriously limited. During Gwen week, it was the same shit. I mean, c'mon now, step a little out of your comfort zone.

Jordin. She's talented. And I can that she'd be inclined to changing her style up a bit with every record.

[kyubichan]

"Smooth" is one of my favorite songs :(

That AI guy didn't do it any justice. None at all.

[Smitty]

"Smooth" is one of my favorite songs :(

That AI guy didn't do it any justice. None at all.

Seconded. :/

I'm mad that Gina's gone. She was one of the best vocalists on the show, and I give her props for wearing her tongue piercing even though the producers told her not to! :)

I can't help it, I like Melinda. She's very polished. Not so nuts about Lakisha. But Jordin is easily the most versatile as well as being one of the most talented, though I didn't love her yesterday.

And is anyone else surprised that the judges found Blake's performance last night to be so amazing? I was actually rather bored. :p (I still adore Blake, however.)

All I have to say about Sanjaya is, he was surprisingly good last night. Not because he's getting better, but because he made an incredibly wise strategic move. Every thirteen-year-old in the country was swooning over their phones. :p

Now I just have to sit back and wait for Haley to get the boot. What Simon said about her last night completely hit the nail on the head. Or as my mom observed, "she's kind of like the hot but only partially-talented chick you could pick up in a bar." Rofl.

[Pachinko]

Totally 100% agree with it all. <3

Gina was my absolute favourite. 'Sides Blake, Melinda, and Jordin.

Sanjayeeeew. >_>

[Spilled Milk]

YAY no more Sanjaya! hallelujah! So happy -_-;

[kyubichan]

Oh God oh God oh God~

Finally, Sanjaya goes home... LOL

[M.Baka]

American Idol is going the way of the Survivor fad

[Pachinko]

American Idol is going the way of the Survivor fad
Like how exactly? The fact that it won't go away?

[Smitty]

As happy as I was to see Sanjaya gone, I felt a little bad about it too. What can I say? Perhaps he grew on me a bit.

He's not meant for a big stage, but he does have a pleasant voice.

I'm anticipating a Jordin-Melinda showdown. Thoughts?

[sakura_blossom]

I was so glad to see Sanjaya leave. I don't feel sympathy for the kid at all, he sucked. Plus he's only 17 years old. After American Idol, he's bound to make some good money.

I'm hoping that Blake and Melinda will be the two finalists.

[Lupin the 3rd]

ahhh so we don't get to see the girl cry over mangina i mean Sanjaya anymore? ;)

[Smitty]

So. Bon Jovi night.

Blake > everyone. He rolled the dice, and he scored big. I thought it was awesome. What I love about Blake is that he's totally avant-garde, but it's still accessible - it's not weird, it's just fresh and cool.

Everyone else > Jordin. :( But she has the fan base and the votes from last week (where she was apparently extremely amazing, but I just thought she was going flat on the top notes, oh well) to keep her going.

I think it was a bad omen that Phil sang that he was "goin' down in a blaze of glory," seeing as how there are two people going home tomorrow. It's going to be a tough night.

I think Chris is long overdue to be headed home.

[Javer]

Blake > everyone. He rolled the dice, and he scored big. I thought it was awesome. What I love about Blake is that he's totally avant-garde, but it's still accessible - it's not weird, it's just fresh and cool.

Thanks for mentioning this. I feel kind of the opposite, though. I don't usually watch, but Blake caught my attention this time because he looks like a typical college kid, bound for mediocrity. I'm sorry, he gives me that impression. But he was phenomenally entertaining tonight, which makes it all the more thrilling. Hell of a gamble, though.

If there's anything I really hate about that show, though, it's the studio audience.

[Smitty]

If there's anything I really hate about that show, though, it's the studio audience.

Amen to that! They won't shut up!

:bashhead

[Javer]

Huh, nobody else knows what I'm talking about when I complain about them. o_o

[Takarabe Shoken]

I think Chris should even be gone before Sanjaya! Sanjaya has more potential than Chris! (Just an opinion, though!)

Blake sure did one hell of a performance, though! Love it! He sure did roll the dice! Even Simon complimented Blake's performance that night!

I think Jordin's performance that night is kind of different than her past performance earlier in American Idol!

I hope Jordin and Blake are the two finalists!

[Smitty]

I would be good with Melinda vs. Blake or Jordin vs. Blake. But at this point, it's anyone's ball game. And that's okay, because no matter what, all four of them will have careers, and that is what's important.

[Pachinko]

Blake better win.


I'm a little doubtful though. This is America we are talking about. Are they ready for a change?

[hayama22]

I don't normally watch this show, but I saw that they were doing a Bon Jovi week so I decided to check out some of the performances via youtube.

I wasn't expecting to see anything as awesome as Blake Lewis's performance of "You Give Love a Bad Name". It was pretty off the wall! I think that he would be the most lucrative winner as he has a generally strong voice and can play around with many different styles of music. He's also much more attractive than some of the male winners of years past, and so I think that will also allow for him to be very successful.
