American Idol Season 10: Official Thread!!

[kimmar067]

Would you still gag if I filled it with bacon?

...I'd eat the bacon. THEN gag.

 

[ShuisFan584]

My fingers are going to HURT next week when I have to call for all 12 of the other contestants in hopes of seeing Ashton GONE! I can't even stand to listen to her because of the attitude. I'm not sure why Randy wants to shove that down our throats... drama??? I guess??? Annoying!

Haha, you sound just like me. I figure I'll need to vote for all 10 contestants other than Ashthon, Hailey, and Karen. All 3 of them annoy me already and the season just barely started.

 

[ShuisFan584]

And I can guarantee at least one of them will outlast their stay and probably make top 5. I'm guessing it will probably be Karen.

 

[WDWMom]

Fired up the DVR...here's my take on tonight's eliminations:

SCOTTY vs. ROBBIE
In my opinion, no contest. Scotty all the way. Robbie just fell completely flat and Scotty just blew the roof off with his country shtick. And the guy in the top 10 is.......

SCOTTY! natch.


CLINT vs. JORDAN vs. JOVANY
Ugh...I bet it will be that jerk-wad Clint, but if I had to pick one of these three, it would be Jovany. Though none of them should go through. Grrrr....and the guy who makes it through is....

NOBODY! Wow. Good call America (and me!). none of them should go through.


LAUREN A vs. PIA
Wowie wow wow. They had better put both of these ladies through. They were easily the best of the night, and I will throw my remote through the tv if either gets booted! And the one going through is....

LAUREN! and PIA! yay America for gettin' it right again.


TATYNISA vs. JULIE
They both sounded like garbage so I don't care if they both go home (which they should), but I have a sinking suspicion that Tatynisa has enough backing at home to stuff her into the top 10 like Cinderella's ugly step-sisters cramming the glass slipper on...who's in?.......

Whew...NOBODY. Gotta say I am impressed so far. But it's a long show.


KENDRA vs. ASHTON. vs. KAREN
Ashton was easily the best of the group which were all lackluster but Kendra could sneak in too. Now Karen, while weak, may have snapped up the latino vote with her singing en espanol (which was beautiful, while her english singing was not). Who made it?...

KAREN! es muey bueno!


CASEY vs. JACOB vs. TIM
Ooof. I love all three even though Tim was not good that night. Can't they have all my dudes go through?? No? Okay, we'll take Casey and Jacob please?...

JACOB! yay! what a nice guy and a nice voice. and CASEY! whew...America is on fire with the voting tonight!


NAIMA vs. THIA vs. LAUREN T
In my opinion it should be Thia and Lauren. Naima just rubs me the wrong way (Vegas lounge singer in the making). So, who's got the goods tonight?...

THIA! Yay again...now they'd better give Lauren a shot at the wild card spot. grrrr.


BRETT vs. PAUL
Oh come ON. Paul is clearly the superior singer (and dresser...love the jacket). Brett seems like a nice kid but he has no shot at winning or being competitive with the others who've made it through. So is it cute or quirky tonight?...

PAUL! woot woot!! Hot dang, cute it is!


HALEY vs. RACHEL
hmmm..tough call on this one, but I will go with Haley as the better of the two. Rachel is just too out there (like Brett). Neither girl knows a hting about age appropriate, so which one is it?....

HALEY! I am just hittin' on all cylinders tonight! Boo yah!


STEFANO vs. JAMES
This isn't even remotely close in my opinion. James is a natural, he's fun, he's unique. And the show needs a rocker. Stefano (despite his Matthew broderick look alike status) just falls flat.

JAMES! Rock on my friend.







The top 10 is pretty much how I envisioned it (except I would have subbed Lauren T for Karen). I eagerly await the judges picks. I fully expect to see Lauren and Clint chosen, but would like to see Tim and Ashton have another shot.

ASHTON: Glad she got another shot. Performing AND I AM TELLING YOU (good idea!). Much better than last night. Well done kiddo.

STEFANO: Meh, I don't think he needs another shot. I never cared for him. Here he does I NEED YOU NOW and while it is much better than last night I still feel like he'd just be a "seat-filler" in the top 13.

KENDRA: Nice. I like her and think she needs to try again too. Doing GEORGIA ON MY MIND (a big song). Her voice is very smokey and sultry, but ultimately I think she'd be a seat filler too. But wow what a last note!

JOVANY: Hmmm, he may get the eye-candy do-over but so be it. With his rendition of ANGEL (en espanol!) he is doing much better than last night. He does much better with power belting than with the soft stuff. Nice.

NAIMA: Grrr...this should've been Lauren T's spot so color me cheesed. With FOR ALL WE KNOW I stand by my assertion that she belongs sprawled across a piano in a smokey casino bar on the Vegas strip.

ROBBIE: At least it wasn't Clint or Brett. Aladdin gets a do over with SAYING SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD. He has a weird faux sexy thing he does with his voice that sounds very put on. Plus this song is super boring.



So who gets redeemed? ASHTON! STEFANO! NAIMA.

I could do without Naima.


My prediction is still a Lauren, Casey, James, Paul showdown. Goodnight all!

WOW! I totally could have written this word for word

 

[beattyfamily]

....STILL think she doesn't look her age?

Yes, I sure do! That's just silly. Cellulite knows no age boundries. Women of all ages, from teens on and all body sizes have cellulite.

I still wish I looked like her at any age. Her body is amazing.

 

[kimmar067]

Yes, I sure do! That's just silly. Cellulite knows no age boundries. Women of all ages, from teens on and all body sizes have cellulite.

I still wish I looked like her at any age. Her body is amazing.

...all kidding aside, I didn't think she was 41 already either.

 

[Robinrs]

Agree with this 100%. Me thinks a few ladies might be jealous that a 41 year old can be that fine and still have those moves..

Not.

I hardly think it's the sexy I was talking about, it was the "in the club and get on the dance floor" crap that bugged me. No one did the clubs like I did back in the day and nothing made me sicker than "old" people trying to be cool. Now I'm one I stay away because it's for a younger crowd (hold your drink up, really? ) and that's fine for them, just not for me.

I'm turning 55 next week and can hold my own VERY well. I could hang out but DON'T. I just think there is a time and appropriateness for everything.

I'm sure JLo is holding on to her younger demographic because that's where the money is, I can't blame her for that. She just reminded me of a co worker at my job who is trying desparately to be "Beyonce" while she COULD be Beyonce's Mom. Somehow that gives me the willies and the heebies...

 

[TruBlu]

Anybody want to make top 4 predicitons?

I think I'm going with: Lauren, Scotty, Casey and Pia. (BUT - I hope I'm wrong and Jacob and Paul slip in there. )

 

[FINFAN]

Never thought about JLo's age.....when I read 41 I was like...get OUT! The video, the idea is pretty much been there done that by a lot of artists, it just gets old (no pun intended) no matter what age is doing it. I will say that she is definitely able to still draw in the younger crowd...Raquel Welch is STILL able to do so, tho SHE doesn't need to portray herself in a club

 

[TLSnell1981]

There was no doubt, Steven Tyler was putting Naima through. He definitely has a soft spot for her.

 

[Robinrs]

Interesting info about the Twitter accounts of the top 13:

Paul McDonald Most Popular American Idol on Twitter
By wildouble - Posted on March 4th, 2011
Tagged: American Idol Celebrity Twitters
American Idol faced this same problem with Twitter last year. Idol fans will be able to track the popularity of season 10 contestants based on their Twitter followers, but don't take the numbers too seriously. Last year's winner Lee Dewyze was one of the least followed Idols on Twitter at the start of the competition. Dewyze had around 800 followers to Andre W. Garcia's 2,000. The runner-up, Crystal Bowersox had just over 1,000.

So far this year, Paul McDonald is in the lead with around 2,500 followers, and wild card pick Ashthon Jones is the least popular with 296 followers. Thia Megia leads the girls with over 1,000 followers, and believe it or not, Jacob Lusk is the least followed male with just over 400 people reading his tweets.

 

[Robinrs]

My DH said the same thing! I see it. He's a better looking Kenny Loggins!

I never made the connection till you mentioned it. Here, with Kendra, you REALLY see and hear Kenny!

I'd exchange your opinions of Karen and Stephano and everything would be what SHE said! Cannot STAND Latina Barbie and Stephano won me over last night.

 

[kimmar067]

Not.

I hardly think it's the sexy I was talking about, it was the "in the club and get on the dance floor" crap that bugged me. No one did the clubs like I did back in the day...

...'cept fer mebbe MOI.

 

[kimmar067]

I'd exchange your opinions of Karen and Stephano and everything would be what I SHE said!....

.....uhhhhh, what?

 

[TwinsinCA]

Since there are 13 going through, does anyone know how many they will vote out next week? IIRC a few years ago they had 13 at this point and they booted 2 the first week to get back on schedule.

I hope the girls start getting picked off early. I don't even care who because I don't like any of them. I hope the country fans are more rabid for Scott than they are for Lauren.

Too bad dial idol has become useless. I loved having some idea how the voting was going.

I want Paul to win. I would be happy with Casey too.

 

[Robinrs]

...'cept fer mebbe MOI.

I KNEW we had something in common... I partied SIX times a week, only taking off Wednesdays... and did the "walk of shame" to work everyday. Hey, it was my workout!

.....uhhhhh, what?

Okay, it's fixed! Even we English majors screw up every now and then...

 

[FergieTCat]

I hope the girls start getting picked off early. I don't even care who because I don't like any of them. I hope the country fans are more rabid for Scott than they are for Lauren.

I was thinking the exact opposite: I think the girls are the stronger singers and one of them will win.

At least Rachel and Brett are gone. I didn't like either one of them.

It's nice to discuss AI again. I never watched Season 9 because I didn't find any of the contestants remarkable.

 

[FINFAN]

There was no doubt, Steven Tyler was putting Naima through. He definitely has a soft spot for her.

all 3 advanced their fave's


Randy----Ashton ( tho I was hoping he would have chosed Lauren T)

JLo------Stefano


Steven---Naima (if she had been top 10 and Haley hadn't, the Haley or Kendra would have gotten his vote)


Karen better be careful, I think she is banking on a connection with JLo...Stefano just locked that up

 

[Mean Queen]

I want Paul to win. I would be happy with Casey too.

That's how I feel right now too. I'm not that impressed with the girls this year.
