American Idol Season 12 Official Thread

[DisneyLover1217]

Hope it's okay that I join in late.

Never really knew who Keith Urban was, but I really do like him as a judge. He seems very down to earth. Mariah and Nicki just annoy the hell out of me with their constant hair playing. I do think Nicki sometimes has more insight into some of these singers than Mariah does. Although some of the people Nicki likes I don't get; ie., Papa Peachez.

Don't really have a true favorite yet. I like to get to the Top 12 before I start doing that.

Here's to hoping it's a great season. I haven't really enjoyed the show since David Cook's year.

I could have written all this. I too like Keith even though I am not familiar with his music, he seems like the only sane one of the bunch. Mariah and Nick annoy the heck out of me too but I think Nikki is the better judge. Shocking since Mariah is miles ahead musically.

I do have a favorite though, and that would the ASL interpreter who has parents who are deaf. I loved him from his first audition of a Stevie Wonder song and thought he was outstanding in the group round too. I guess I should learn his name!

I have the 20 songs the contestants could choose from last night and the songs for round 3 they had to choose from if anyone wants me to post them.

Thanks! That would be great if you could post them.

Isn't it 12 until they decide they made a mistake and ask someone to come back?

Or someone has a "scandal" that Idol knew nothing about and has to be replaced.

 

[mandy200587]

It's usually top 12, if it's otherwise we'll know closer to the air date for that part this year.

Not really. Not as much drama as before but it's just guys so far.

what the heck is nicki wearing.

 

[Nancy]

Nikki is just a different kind of person...I just don't like her.


I don't get why she is the only one that makes comments...does she have a contract that says she is guaranteed x amount of airtime to show how stupid she is?

The others probably say things but we never get to hear them, cause they want to irritate us with her.

I just want to punch Nikki in the ****. She's so irritating. Plus, I really don't think she has any room to speak about professionalism. Gah!!

they are doing a good job of it.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

And I had to say, Nikki's British accent is even more annoying than her commentary.

 

[Nancy]

Shut up Nikki.

 

[mandy200587]

I seriously think they need to get a judge who knows what it's like to be in the contestants shows with the pressure.
