American Idol Season 13 Official Thread

Malaya shows how immature she is - and disrespectful - did you see her "clapping" after Jake Bugg and her expressions? EWWWW - hope she is gone!
MK is better than the bottom 3 - I think CJ should have rounded it out.

Malaya really annoys me- I would have liked to see her gone! MK is just ok, she will be going soon.

My husband saw MK and wanted to know why Justin Bieber was on the show.

LOL- my daughter asked who the little boy was.

I have never seen Keith Urban naked either, but boy would I like to!!

I wasn't surprised at the bottom three, and didn't mind Kristen going home. I didn't expect the judges would save her, I don't think she did either.

Nice to see Candice, but didn't care for her song.

Fast forwarded through Jake Bugg, didn't care for him. Not sure why Keith is so ga-ga over him. Peter Noone was much better.

Jake Bugg was singing through his nose. A little too Bob Dylanish for me.

Oh...don't. encourage. her.

....SHHHHHhhhh....yes.....encourage me.

I agree with Keith about listening to his album, you should listen to other Jake Bugg songs before writing him off. They play him quite a bit on our local independent radio station. He has a retro sound coupled with a great rock-a-billy beat. Two Fingers and Lightening Bolt have received a lot of airplay. I like Broken too.

I highly recommend looking for an independent radio station in your area ( or you can listen online to our local independent station http://lightning100.com). It is a great escape from the dreadful pop stations out there that only play what the record labels are pushing. It may be a little heavy on the WGWG but I find so much interesting music. I have become a huge fan of alternative, indie music.

 

[kimmar067]

Yea for P2! I hope his new single can match the others. I read that it might be like Gone, Gone, Gone.

...AWESOME! I love that song.....

...it sounded if if it was two different songs randomly stuck together...

...it sounded if if it was two different songs randomly stuck together...

I think it was. I thought Ryan said she was doing a medley of 2 songs off the album.

....well, they shouldn't have picked THOSE two....

Someone on FB called him a cross between Bob Dylan and Peter Noone...I love BOTH of them so I guess that's why he didn't "bugg" me... sorry...

He was a Hate or Love kind of guy.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't care for Jake Bugg either. No idea who he even was and his singing voice was annoying.

Well, he is memorable. More than I can say for Kristin.

It looks like I am one of the few here but I am excited about AI giving a forum to some of the new alternative music artists. I had heard of Jake Bugg and really like his music but I have never heard of Kodaline, the group performing next week. I just listened to some of their stuff on iTunes and it is pretty good. And, of course, AI started the season off playing Lord Huron in the background. I love, love their music.

I wonder if this is a signal about AI wanting to take a turn toward younger music. I can kind of see this with many of the finalists they have chosen to put thru. I think this change may be behind many of the posts I have read on other sites bemoaning how there is no talent this year. I disagree. I think there is talent just not the big voiced belters and screamers. Some people think you need that for music but others don't enjoy it. Maybe AI sees more potential in other styles of music.

If they wanted to attract younger viewers by the millions they would showcase pop artists that WE don't want to see... I can name a few but I think we all know who they are..

I'm glad they're giving a showcase to the unknowns especially since they probably would never get this kind of exposure on the radio.

As for the big voice belters and screamers, there would BE NO R&B or gospel if there were none so some of us DO enjoy it. It's not for everyone but heck neither is the yodeling I hear when a country record is on . I do realize it's SOMEONE's taste and don't say it's NOT music. AI caters to all kinds of music so we have to take the good with the bad and use our mute buttons when we are witnessing our version of "bad".

I agree that what I like in music could be very different than what others like. I just get tired of reading comments that someone can't sing if they don't sing the ends of the music scale.

Just for curiosity, are performers like The Four Tops, Smokey Robinson or The Supremes not considered R&B? I know they are old (as am I) but they are/were able to sing without all of those high notes that I find unpleasant. Maybe that type of music is something else.

I'm finally watching the result show. Group number they need to work on balancing that you can hear the vocals.

Ben's reaction was so cute!

Random tidbit...Alex is Jo De Messina's cousin.

I'm trying to figure out what Malaya is wearing currently.

Candice I'm not wowed at all by her. I get she's doing two songs but not blending well and her makeup is extremely distracting.

Harry's 20 facts...doesn't he know theres a playgirl cover but his old days...

Jake Bugg...not the best song but I can see why Keith digs him vocally.

Not honestly shocked about Kristen going home, she wasn't wowing anyone at all to me.
