American Idol: Season 11 OFFICIAL thread!

[asta]

I guess I ticked the living crap out of the Filipino population of the AI Facebook page but I'm tired of American's being called names because we don't LOVE her precious diva:


I posted:


Translation:


I'd better duck now....

Amen!

 

[FINFAN]

there's a tribute tonight to Dick Clark.

Awesome!

I think the show may be missing the good advice and kind but tough love that Debra Byrd gave the contestants.

Jessica, in particular needs this kind of guidance. She's only 16, and she's used to people being amazed by talent at such a young age. She needs someone to tell her she won't be precocious forever, so let's get to work on not just voice and range, but presenting herself in a way that is positive for her and her fans.

Here's the little big town version of that song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa_l_GZyXCU&feature=channel&list=UL

Thank you Mandy! Loved that! Their voices are amazing.




About the show in general--Wow! Lots of talent!

I particularly liked Hollie, Skylar, Joshua and Phil.

I was also thrilled they asked Mindy Abair back again. I'm a huge fan of hers, and I love to see her front and center with her sax. She rocks.

Jousha was fantastic! I think, Elise will go home, but hope it's Jessica.

My favs Phillip, Joshua, Hollie and Skylar. Colton was weak tonight, didn't like his song choices..but doubt the teens let him go anywhere.

I agree. Colton isn't going anywhere whether he sings well or not.

Hogwash at the top of the show. Enough with poor Jessica's fake elimination.

HOLLIE: "Rollin' In The Deep"...Somebody please ban this song from all future talent shows. I;m so over it! That said, I actually like this song on her. She seems to have found a happy spot performance wise. Well done!


COLTON: "Bad Romance"...I've seen some very unique and cool arrangements of this song. This does kinda rock! Has a very Muse sound to it. He worked every inch of that song!


ELISE: "No One"...this is a bit of a bring down after Colton's rock-fest, but it's nice enough.


PHILLIP: "You Got It Bad"...an interesting choice for him. I know it makes me a cougar but I wouldn't mind having this kid serenading me. This is a very sexy rendition. Again, he isn't the best singer but he really feels his music.


JESSICA: "I Keep On Falling"...no surprise with this choice. B-O-R-I-N-G. Yes, we know you can do runs. Big whoop.


SKYLER: "Born This Way"...so now we're country-frying everything. Gotcha. It was cute. I'll give her that. Not my thing, but a'ight dawg.


JOSHUA: "Believe"...sooooo cliche. Was this Fantasia's winning song? Meh.


SOULD TRAIN? For real?

HOLLIE: "Son of A Preacher Man"...I can see up her dress as she walked down the steps. Classy. I didn't believe her singing this but vocally it was ok.


COLTON: "September"...Hmmm, he's making it pop. Interesting. Not a great vocal but I like the arrangement. This guy is going to make a LOT of money off of the teen set someday.


ELISE: "Let's get It On"...She has failed to make this song relevant. It's not bad, but it's not going to connect with viewers.


PHILLIP: "Midnight Hour"...Nice to see him without the guitar. This is fun, but safe. He could've chosen better. It's got a monotone quality to the vocal.


JESSICA: "Try A Little Tenderness"...she's got more runs than a Guadalajara out house.


SKYLER: "Heard It Through The Grapevine"...at least she's doing something to make the song relevant. Energetic. Interesting. Fun. Unique. Well done.


JOSHUA: "A Change Is Gonna Come"...I love this song, but I have a feeling Josh isn't going to do anything new with it. And he didn't. Meh.



I voted for everyone BUT Jessica tonight. It's a protest. Jessica wasn't the weakest tonight but I want her gone anyway.

....I didn't even watch them sing their 2nd songs, because I was so disgusted with the show - can you say "B-O-R-I-N-G"????

 

[mandy200587]

here we go

 

[Robinrs]

Opening number is PAINFUL...

 

[Nancy]

I'm here tonight. Rewatched the songs. I still think Elise will go tonight.

 

[happygirl]

When Ryan said, It might be written in the clouds or whatever he said was that a clue? Seemed like a strange phrase to use

 

[mandy200587]

One of these days someone is going to get Ryan for the trickery.

 

[Nancy]

Too bad that Hollie had one of her best nights and she still ends up in the bottom.

 

[Robinrs]

Too bad that Hollie had one of her best nights and she still ends up in the bottom.

Took the words OUT of my mouth... sux..

 

[mandy200587]

he lives in Nashville now

 

[happygirl]

WOW, Taylor Is super tan

 

[Robinrs]

Taylor looks GOOD!

 

[happygirl]

Kinda of like Kris new song

 

[Nancy]

I might be one of the few people that hate that song. I didn't listen to more than a few lines of Elise singing it. She just did nothing for the song.

 

[mandy200587]

what the.......

 

[Nancy]

Ugh...mute now
