American Idol thread

[BarenakedLady]

I didn't feel it was the best night for most of them. David A and Carly did pretty well though. Simon was in an awful mood. He was pretty harsh on some that I thought did decent enough.

Thoughts? Predictions on who is going to go?

[BarenakedLady]

1. No one watched?

Or did I miss a previous thread on the matter?

Come on people! This is SERIES!!!! Earth shattering even!

2. I thought the kid who sang "The Long and Winding Road" nailed it.

He was very very good! Overall I was disappointed in the ladies. Time to move on to something besides Beatles songs, though. Most of them were best done by the originals.

5. Agreed

Enough Beatles.

[suninvited]

3. I watched.

David A. did good. Carly did better than usual, I think she will make it through another week.

I agree, not the best night for most of them. Dreadlock guy did very poorly, and I loved a couple of his before.

Who will go...hmmmmmmmm....

[BarenakedLady]

6. Dread Dude is my boy toy

But he didn't do very well. I know he has no shot and will be gone soon. :(

Hopefully not tonight though. :cry:

I think I'd like Carly to win. David A. is good, but young. He's got a lifetime ahead of him and I'm sure he will do well.

9. I want Jason to stick around a while longer too. Maybe Kristy will go tonight

4. i think simon was pretty on the money. hate that rocker guy.

[BarenakedLady]

7. I like the rocker guy.

My daughter says he's creepy. LoL. But she said that about everyone who looked right into the camera on the last note. I wonder if they've been coached to do that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. I like him too

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. I watched. Simon is mean, but it wasn't the best night ever. I think Kristy Lee is goin home

[LostinVA]

14. No way -- we're stuck with her

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

11. I've been wanting Kristy Lee to go for a long time now

But she was better than usual last night. I'm getting a bit tired of Skunk Woman and her incessant rocking out - I agree that she should change it up and sing a ballad - then we'll see how good she really is.

I'm afraid for Ramiele - she's been near the bottom on DialIdol, and she just doesn't seem to stand out.

Based on last night alone, Michael Johns should go home - he was simply HORRID.

17. Amanda cannot sing a ballad. She can't hold sustained notes or do

anything melodious (ie Wayward Son).

I love her, but there are certain things she can't pull off.

[NJmaverick]

12. What were they thinking?!!?

Two weeks in a row, of Beatles songs?!?! Everyone picked their favorites, last week. So you got to see everyone sing their second choices.

[Contrary1]

13. I'm ready to say goodbye to Amanda...

She seems unable to comprehend that some people actually prefer to understand the lyrics.
"Ballads are boring". Well, to some, yes they are.

Simon was trying to tell her she needed to do something different, just to show her range.
She didn't get it.

[littlebit]

15. They all

did bad last night. I think that blonde that does the country stuff will go home tonight.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. Yeah, weak all around

Dreadlock boy should've done Norwegian Wood - just seems like his type of song.

I thought Syesha's "Yesterday" was awful but the judges loved it. She slowed it down beyond its normal slow tempo, and dragged on every note.

I like Michael Johns, but "A Day in the Life" was pretty bad - he had to chop up the song so badly it was insane. He should've done "Helter Skelter".

Yeah, I think (hope) that Kristy's going home.

18. That's what I said! "Norwegian Wood" and "Helter Skelter"
