American Idol 2023

I think Zachariah will win it. Iam is good but he has a very limited market. We Anit is my favorite now since the ones I wanted to be in this final countdown got booted when they went down to 12 and the judges made those horrible picks.

Megan? I'm over the raspy voiced country girls. Colin, just meh but like Imzadi said he reminded me of a very young Brad Pitt from the start so he has the cute factor going on. I liked Oliver and Warren better.

What are Lionel and Luke dressed as?

What are Lionel and Luke dressed as?

Lionel looked like he was carrying around a bread stick at the beginning.

 

[Imzadi]

Katy looks unreal in that costume, the waist is so small.

I think that was the churro Ryan gave him.

They had Churros

I am not feeling all the love for Zachariah! He is my least favorite.

BTW, thanks for posting tonight as I completely forgot it was on!

The costume looks painful to me.

Ah, I tuned in late. I was watching the Bates Motel marathon. Someone in programming at the SyFi Channel has the sense of humor to show that series in honor of Mother's Day.

 

[Imzadi]

Zachariah was meh with that song. He's gotten very slick and he's doing the same thing now. I didn't see any Lion King in that song.

I am glad he got to bring his family to DL though.

Zachariah seems older than 19 to me.

WHHHATTT? I had no idea he was 19. That's crazy. He looks much, much older.

Yeah, he is and his wife his 32.

 

[VFL]

Huge fan of Megan and I think she slayed.

 

[Imzadi]

I don't think that Lava song did Iam any favors. Instead, it just sealed his fate that he's a one trick (Hawaiian) pony.

I think We Ani is the best vocalist, but not sure she'll win it.

 

[Imzadi]

I think We Ani is the best vocalist, but not sure she'll win it.

I, unfortunately, agree with you. She proved she can really sing. She can be another Whitney Houston. And she can do Broadway.

Zachariah does slick & showy. He can't do any characters or really embody the emotion of a deep song. Has he done any song where he's really had to show a soft, vulnerable side? Or has he always been loud and louder? Yet, I think he's the "Idol" image with fast, splashy songs.

Sorry Megan, but we already have Bonnie Raitt and Reba. And you're no Carrie Underwood.

Colin, meh. Looks like they tried to make him look older tonight. That may bite him. It didn't help that boy band turned George Michael guy. I forgot his name already.

 

[Nancy]

Something about Zachariah just rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Imzadi]

Is it just me? Or are they really pushing Zachariah's mom & family story more than others? It's like they know he can't get tug at those heartstrings with a tearjerker of a song. So, they have to really push his personal story at us for votes.

Me, too! If he wins I think he will fizzle out like so many of the past winners.
