At the risk of pissing people off with an AI thread... Lakisha Jones just rocked the f'ng house!

Singing "You're Gonna Love Me" by Jennifer Holliday.... holy fuck, she knocked it out of the ballpark. Now, I shall await the naysayers telling me I'm a bad person for watching AI :D

1. Simon wanted to send the other 23 home tonight :)

I watch it too :hi:

[MichiganVote]

2. WOW! Did she evah! Voice, passion, you name it, she had it

[jane_pippin]

3. Tonight was the first time I ever watched a whole show

(I'd seen clips and a few minutes here and there, but never a whole episode)

I just might watch the rest of the season. There were a few singers who were really good. I have to say, I was surprised.
But the last woman: holy fuck is right!

4. Thank you for posting about AI! I love talking about Idol.

Let those naysayers go somewhere and sulk, I say! LaKisha was fantastic. I also liked Melinda and Stephanie. (At least those are the stand-outs that I can remember so far.)

Did anyone vote? Who did you vote for?

5. So what?

She sounds exactly like everyone else who sings it. I am rooting for her though - my dad was stationed at Ft. Meade for over 20 years - but that was a ridiculously cliched obvious choice.

Having said that, she was my second favorite tonight. My choice would be Melinda Doolittle right now. At least as far as the girls.

Who'd a thunk we'd ever hear a Chrissie Hynde song on AI?

[belladonna]

6. Ummm... I've heard many try to cover it

But I've never heard anyone sound as good as Jennifer Holliday and Lakisha Jones made it happen. I was only half watching and working at the same time, but she caught my attention and held it.

As for the Chrissie Hynde song, bleh... that was just not good for me at all.

7. Will we have a thread tonight ?

Hope so :hi:

[belladonna]

12. I shall start a thread in a few minutes

I'll take the heat that comes along with it.... I just love me some Lakisha Jones! Oh yeah, and on the guy's side, I'm rooting for Chris Sligh... I think that's his name anyway. :D

13. please alert

people not to put spoilers in new thread titles. It ruins it for others. Not that it'll do much...

[MonkeyFunk]

8. She certainly did...

I hope she gets to do a longer version of it later in the season.

Right now, it's hard to imagine anyone else surpassing her. I hope she's able to keep it up.

9. I'm gonna watch it tonight

Saw the clip this morning on the news. I think if she stay consistant, she just won this sucker!

[Mojambo]

10. Two questions. Who the hell is Lakisha Jones?

And what the hell is AI?

[applegrove]

11. Loved it. I hope she goes all the way. I'm sure she'll just get more and

more confident too. She was so humble.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. I just watched it

I had to watch her 3 times. She's fantastic.

15. You Tease!

I thought you were going to post about Artificial Intelligence!

Not LACK if intelligence!

:P
