American Idol Season 12 Official Thread

[Darcy03231]

I can't believe that that Charlie kid made it through and one of these guys who can actually sing won't!

I know, I can't figure that one out either. If they wanted someone quirky, I think Jda would have been a better choice. At least he can sing along with being different.

Next week should be better. The girls are Wednesday again

The first guy was so forgettable. What was his name again?

Johnny Keiser looks so much like Pete from "The Office". It's uncanny! Look up the actor Jake Lacy.

JDA...more like WTH. Do we really need Boy George 2.0?

Kevin Harris. Suffering from the Idol affliction known as "poorsongchoiceitis". Clearly he has a lovely voice but this is so contrived and boring.

Chris. Has a very Lenny Kravitz vibe to him.

Devin. OH. MY. GOD. Who is picking these boring dang songs for these guys???

Elijah. Meh. Not impressed. Sounds like a girl.

Charlie. It's hard to watch him sometimes because he seems a bit uncomfortable in his skin. He's a sweet kid, but not for this competition I think.

Jimmy. Blech. Also, I'm over the country singers.

Curtis. YAWN.


Overall I couldn't care less about any of these guys. Hopefully next week will be more impressive.

I like this guy Curtis.

I won't deny he can sing but I would never voluntarily listen to him. I simply don't enjoy what he does.

Plus, and I'm not sure exactly why, I find him kind of creepy. As in, I wouldn't leave my kid alone with him creepy.

I know, I can't figure that one out either. If they wanted someone quirky, I think Jda would have been a better choice. At least he can sing along with being different.

But I'm not sure Jda would appeal to the core voters - tween and teen girls. I think the girls will find Charlie appealing in his quirkiness. I think that is the same reason that Elijah remains in the competition.

are they forcing us to have a girl winner this year?

and honestly, not that the girls were amazing. i thought there were three who should go through last night. the other two were just extras.

Every one in my house thinks that AI is trying to force America to vote for a girl this year. I disliked all of the guys tonight. Very boring songs and not sung very well. I can see another season of AI trying to convince us that we should vote for that last guy (Curtis, I think). Remember the standing ovations from last year. No matter what they say that type of music doesn't have wide appeal with their viewing audience.

I agree with all your descriptions- and I really really am sick of all the country music already- I can't stand country to begin with but there are just so many of them this year!

 

[Kimberle]

Is this a Nicki dating show or AI???? "I want to have your babies...."

 

[Jennasis]

All of the guys last night were absolutely train-wreck terrible. How any of them made it this far is beyond me. The only one or two worth watching for nothing more than "they're interesting to watch" were sent home (JDA and Chris). Idol clearly wants a girl to win this year. And so far they seem to want one of two particular girls.

Last night was an embarassment. Charlie? REALLY?? His story is cute but he can't sing! Couldn't carry a tune if it had handles.

Nicki was horrible, last night hitting on the guys left and right.

Mariah has turned into Paula over night being overly sweet

I thought exactly the same thing!

Does anyone know if they are doing wildcards this year

Does anyone know if they are doing wildcards this year

I don't think they are. I believe that I read they were doing the sudden death rounds this year instead until they get to the top ten and then America will start voting. I haven't seen/heard anything yet about "saves."

....I didn't care for him at all - he's like the illegitimate love-child of Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga...

 

[kimmar067]

....personally, none of the guys really <<WOWED>> me....hope next week is better...

 

[mandy200587]

Rumored song spoilers are out for this week's shows and this is all I can say about some if they are true

 

[threeboysmom]

I'm just crossing my fingers that this is the week Zoanette goes HOME!!

Let's hope so! She reminds me of that one from several seasons ago, Tatiana I think it was.
