American Idol: Season 11 OFFICIAL thread!

[DarthKTrava]

Come on! If I came back after Hee Haw last year, you can come back after that!

 

[Nancy]

Did Idol just go to black for anyone else or is my Fox station messed up?

It's fine here.



Liking Colton tonight.

 

[Mean Queen]

Maybe someone has mentioned it, but WHOA....... Randy is dressed like a circus clown! Put a teeny, undersized hat on his head and a pair of gigantic shoes and it's the big top for the Dawg.

So true!

I thought Colton did great tonight.

 

[TLSnell1981]

Great song choice for Colton!!

 

[Mean Queen]

This girl looks like Gwen Stefani? Is she that stupid?

 

[DarthKTrava]

Now Bette Midler is one artist I just can't stand! BLECH!!!

So I guess I'm now equal with song loathing tonight with Mean Queen.....

 

[Nancy]

Nice job Skylar. Those other 2 girls should watch her to see how to get into the song and let yourself just feel it.

 

[KristaTX]

Oh wow. Skylar was AMAZING. And I'm not a country music listener.

 

[Mean Queen]

Now Bette Midler is one artist I just can't stand! BLECH!!!

So I guess I'm now equal with song loathing tonight with Mean Queen.....

Though I wasn't a fan of the Weeend beneath my weeengs either.

 

[Robinrs]

I liked Skylar tonight. Loved that everything everything part!

That was my song for my Daddy. I actually had the lyrics printed for his 80th birthday! He was everything everything everything I wished I could be! Luckily my son is JUST like him.

I need a bit more time and prayer...

 

[Nancy]

top 3 tonight, Skyler, Joshua and Colton.

Bottom, Elise and Deandre

The others are just in the middle of the pack.

 

[EllenFrasier]

Though I wasn't a fan of the Weeend beneath my weeengs either.

You nailed it!

 

[TLSnell1981]

Awesome!! Skylar and Phillip are ALWAYS solid.

Skylar, Phillip, Joshua and Colton are my top 4. BTW...Jessica..a "soul" singer?

 

[Jennasis]

Well tonight will be infinitely more boring without HeeJun but I'll muddle through somehow...


DEANDRE: "I Like It"...blech. He can pick any song from the 80's but he can't find anything remotely relevant? I want to make this song go away.


ELISE: "I Wanna Know What Love Is"...Well I dig the heck outta Foreigner. Her voice is very nasally here and she isn't doing anything to make this song hers. And she sounds almost flat? Not quite a repeat of lat week. Woops.


A duet...a waste of time. Ugh.


PHILLIP: "Thats All"...Well I also dig Genesis (clearly LOL) so hopefully he can cool this one up. This is...weird? It's not bad, but it's just kind of strange. He made it rockabilly. I still love him.


Another duet....and this one is AWFUL.


JOSHUA: "If you Don't Know Me"...predictable. Another song with no relevance. Sung well, but zero selling power in today's pop music market.


JESSICA: "How Will I know"...of COURSE she is singing this. Did she say she has an alter-ego named Bee Bee Chezz? Oooh I hate her so much now. This is not good. It's maybe her weakest performance so far. Yay!


ANOTHER duet? This one is at least interesting. Though Colton and Skyler were okay too.


HOLLIE: "What A Feeling"...who is picking her songs??? Jimmy was right, this song is cornier than anything ever recorded. Ugh and she's butchering it. It's unpleasant.


Hopefully the last duet...


COLTON: "Time After Time"...I love this song. THIS is how you make an old song relevant and current! Give this kid a little band like Maroon 5 and watch him churn out the gold. He understands music, who he is and what he wants...he's good to go. Sell it now!


SKYLER: "Wind Beneath My Wings"...I hate this song, so she's going to have to do something spectacular to make me like this. This has a pageanty sound to it (and she's SO nasally). Dolly Parton 2.0 blech.


Highlights of the evening:
Colton
Joshua
Skyler

Middle of the road:
Elise
Phillip


So the weakest of the night for me were:
Deandre
Jessica
Hollie

Going home? Either Deandre or Hollie.

 

[Mean Queen]

Only voting for Phillip tonight. I thought about putting some in for Colton, but I'm really too lazy to keep putting in those darn captcha codes on line.

 

[fairestoneofall]

JESSICA: "How Will I know"...of COURSE she is singing this. Did she say she has an alter-ego named Bee Bee Chezz? Oooh I hate her so much now. This is not good. It's maybe her weakest performance so far. Yay!

she was the only one i missed. well, i missed the beginning of Deandre. and really, i'm not mad i missed either and there are others i wish i had missed.

BUT, she has an alter ego? how... original.

i was underwhelmed tonight. i thought Colton did a great job. and i really thought Skylar sang well.

Joshua is just too much for me. i can only take so much vocal gymnastics in a song and he is over the top. but i'm glad Robin has someone she likes this year.

I hate those darn things. LOL.

I am hoping either Deandre or the country bumpkin go home tomorrow!

 

[I loveStitchnippyjon]

I have never voted for American Idol before tonight.
How many votes do you get? I have been hitting redial (takes 12-14 seconds) for 20 minutes and it is still taking my votes....
