American Idol Season 13 Official Thread

....I think she's still there....she was the 'bullied girl' from X-Factor, right?

Yes. Haven't seen her anywhere in any footage. Figured she ended up on a bus to the airport.

I have been watching. Some good performers are going forward, others are real head scratchers. It is frustrating trying to figure out if specific ones are continuing on. I know that they can't show everyone but it would be nice to have a list of the ones cut so far.

I liked Sam Burchfield (he sang the song from Jungle Book) but haven't spotted him since the Atlanta show. I have to support those Athens, Ga and UGA performers. I'm guessing that he was sent home but it is hard to tell.

I haven't watched yet, I've been out partying I'll watch after hockey

We watched last night's episode earlier, and now just starting on tonight's.

DH noticed that there is a contestant from our little town here in MA. Her name is Stephanie Petronelli. We asked DSs if they know her, and it turns out that DS22 graduated high school with her. He said she was one of the nicest girls in school, even though she was also one of the most popular. She's also currently a cheerleader for the New England Patriots.

I'm interested to see how she does tonight in groups.


Edited to add: Oh well, just saw that she didn't make it through.

 

[mandy200587]

Okay I'm finally watching, I'll have feedback soon.

 

[mandy200587]

I love Dexter/Casey/Ben! Voices blend well and I feel like a teenager all over again hearing this song

 

[mandy200587]

Not really anyone stood out tonight. I'll be curious to see solos to see who stands out.

I obviously missed the show tonight with you guys. I saw bits and pieces and dvr'd it to watch.

more drama with my mom. this time rehab and I pulled her out and took her back to the hospital. while I was doing that another woman was doing the same with her husband for the same reasons pretty much that I was.

you do not tell my mother to shut up when she is screaming in pain. as a doctor make sure you have the correct persons chart..what if my mom wasn't mentally alert and wasn't able to call you on it when you were ordering her meds..she knows what she takes...wrong meds can cause harm. and you do not call my mom a b..... because she is tired and in pain and didn't use the right tone of voice for you.

yeah, I have name, complaints are being file and they now have 3 daughters that can be the b word they called our mom.

Holy crap that is just unacceptable in every sense of the word. I have no even appropriate words on what to say to this. I hope things get better for you guys but good for you looking out for your mom, it ain't easy that's for sure.

So sorry that you and your mom is going through this.

 

[PrincessInOz]

No real train wrecks. I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed.

 

[Nancy]

That Mom sure was a piece of work..talk about being a little too involved in your child.

 

[asta]

I'm sure some parents/family have always been there but they seem to be more vocal this year. Or at least they are being shown more. Whatever, I could do without them. When they interfere it just makes their child look too immature to be in the competition.

Agreed fully. Sometimes I really do think the age range needs to be raised

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Yup, and trying to blame her daughter's failure to move ahead on the 3 who DID move ahead was just pathetic. Feel sorry for the kid.

I honestly think group week has jumped the shark and far outlived its use. And I'm glad to see more of the kids refusing to take part in the choreography or get sucked into the trap of singing the planted songs that are only included on thr list to trip up enough singers to make eliminations easier.

 

[mandy200587]

The only good thing about last night was it was short and not as drama filled as in past. I do wish we could of seen more of the contestants sing. I'm just happy I knew most of the songs

 

[Jennasis]

I like Hollywood week in all it's dream-crushing glory. However, I do think they should BAN parents from any of the "working" areas. The stage-mothering is out of control and frankly in some cases could be construed as being given unfair extra help (or that's the excuse they could use).

...I only have one comment[so far] about last night's episode:

That mom was ANNOYING!!

I never heard of such unprofessional attitudes. Sorry for your mom! And your whole family.
