American Idol 2023

[Imzadi]

Do you guys vote?

Sometimes. It depends on my mood. Sometimes, i think the producers are going to keep who they want for the drama of it all. "Why is THAT person still there?!?"

I love Tongi

 

[Imzadi]

I think Zachariah could win it all. He's both country and rock and roll. So, he could have a lock on both those voters. Plus, the burger flipping, home-spun backstory may get him some more.

 

[Nancy]

Do you guys vote?

I vote.

I put my votes in at the beginning for who I like, then I add or remove votes based on the performance.

 

[Imzadi]

I love Tongi

He is such an enigma. Just when you think you may have seen all he has to offer, he just so delightfully surprises you.

 

[VFL]

We vote. This is the first season we’ve watched in a very long time. Our daughter played softball with Megan Danielle‘s sister so we know her and are watching / voting to support her. She is such a sweet and humble soul and we adore her and her voice.

 

[CynBeth]

Thank goodness they are gone!

 

[Nancy]

I just have to say that there was a reason the 2 that lost tonight lost last week too.

I would really like to see who the top 12 vote getters were from last week.

America got it right. So much for the judges saves. Thankfully they are both gone. I love Iam, but Zachariah is a very close second. Zachariah may appeal more to the masses as time goes on. He switches it up every week, and he seems to be a very lovable guy. We vote all the time. I put in my votes for who I like and then adjust them according to performances. I have yet to add any points to the ones I haven't cared for from the start. Collin and Warren being 2 of those. Just something about them that turns me off. I think Colin mumbles half the time, I can't understand anything he says when he speaks.

I loved seeing Adam. He's always been one of my favorite idols. @Imzadi I'm jealous that you are going to see Adam and Queen. That would be my dream concert!

I have never voted…until this year. So glad NUTsa is gone, and Lucy too. Her mean attitude doesn’t look good on her. My favorites are Iam and Zachariah. Also like Warren, Oliver, Collin, and We’ Ani. I enjoyed all of the older songs last night, and it was great to see Adam again.

Never cared for either of the two who lost yesterday. Nutsa finally listened to the judges remarks and had made some improvement but still wasn't that good. She always struck me as more of a performer then a singer. I didn't get all of the odd hand gestures Lucy was making in the background the prior week whenever the cameras were pointed her way.

 

[Imzadi]

and Lucy too. Her mean attitude doesn’t look good on her.

The thing is, it's not a pretend attitude with her. Some people put on attitudes or personas to appear tough or cool out in public, but are really sweet when you get to know them privately. But, when she nearly decked Ryan for walking up to her, it was obvious this is who she is. Ryan has been walking up to hundreds of contestants for 21 seasons. He said he's never had anyone react that way before. It's part of the show. They sing, the host comes back onstage to talk to them and then move on to the next contestant.

Lucy reacted instinctively. She is an angry, defensive person. I get she has a tortured, troubled history. But, she needs therapy, not an AI win. Money and fame from the win aren't going to help her without therapy. Being famous will only create more situations of people coming up to her from all sides. Can you imagine, any music manager watching her would think she would be a liability to take on as a client. They'd be just waiting for the phone call after she decks someone.

Breaking news.

American Idol has announced that,in a new twist,the Judges have been allocated 2 SUPER SAVES and have unanimously decided to use them for Nutsa and Lucy!

The Judges are stating they want to give America one last chance to show their love for these amazing artists!

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

Tyson, Wi and Iam were far better than others imo.
Did not help Nutsa to go right after the best performance of the night.

And they both got kicked off again.

I love Iam! Would love to see him take it all. So glad to see Lucy and Nutsa gone!

We lucked out on getting tickets. A few weeks ago, I happened to be flipping channels and saw a quick, local commercial saying Adam & Queen would be coming to Madison Square Garden. They were adding an extra night to the already sold out night. Tickets would be on sale in about a week.

I promptly forgot to mark that day down. But, two days before they went on sale, I saw the commercial again. I realized I'd be home that morning, so I could station myself on the computer when tickets go on sale.

Even so, when I got on, I was several thousand in the virtual queue. But, maybe due to the whole Taylor Swift debacle of scalpers snatching up all the tickets via bots, so regular customers didn't stand a chance, Madison Square Garden instituted (or re-instituted) the anti-scalpers law in NY: that any tickets RE-sold (on reselling sites) can only be sold for the actual face value of the ticket. There was actually a popup on the webpage while waiting for tickets. There is no reason for scalpers to get tickets if they aren't going to make any money.

I waited in the queue for about 20 minutes, thinking for sure all the good tickets would be gone. But, the seats we wanted were still there! And they weren't at the jacked up "Premium Seat" prices only a few seats over. Although, we still did spend a good portion of our rent money. (Thank God for credit cards. )

We pretty much got the same seats we got when we had seen Cher (and similar seats for Celine Dion,) right before the pandemic. Those 2-1/2 years during the pandemic with no live performances of any kind and social and cultural starvation really taught us our priorities. We don't want to spend for nice cars or fancy designer clothes. We NEED our live performances and will be willing to pay for those events.

Oh, I think Nutsa is quite capable of surviving. She will be able to flip as far as she got to her advantage. We will probably be able to see her as the headliner on the next cruise ship leaving tomorrow.

I just found out they are going to be in Baltimore in Oct for 2 nights. I see there are tickets still available, so I'm going to do a little looking. I told hubby it can be my birthday and Christmas gifts, lol.

Don't get me wrong I wasn't nutso about Nutsa, but singing a power song after the prior performance was almost imposible.
