American Idol Season 13 Official Thread

[Robinrs]

Boys were just okay for me, only liked the first one (a LOT) and the last one (a little).

I hope more people grow on me as they go along otherwise this is going to be a bad year for me....

Wow, so much better tonight.

Alex Preston for the win!

Looks like they want a guy to be the American Idol this year.

Boys were much better then the girls.

I agree. I didn't vote on any of the girls because I really didn't care who made it through. None of them were great.

Overall for the boys Caleb was my favorite, but I also really like Alex too (of course he's local so that helps).

Wasn't crazy about Emmanuel or George, but they were still definitely better than the girls.

Unless there is a sleeper amoungst the girls, this year is shaping up like an Alex v Caleb final.

Caleb, Sam, Spencer, Ben and Dexter.

Those were the ones I liked and will stick with the show just to see how they do. Probably they all won't make it to the top 13 but I can hope.

And Emmanuel....where is that guy a season or two ago that sang "Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground." I just wanted Emmanuel to pull his dang pants up!!

Overall WAY better than the girls. Caleb owned the night, though several others were good too. Emmanuel wasn't great, despite his good voice. And I didn't care for the kid who sounded like a Dave Matthrews wanna be, but he was good in as far as that kind of music goes. George was really the only truly awful one.

As much as I dislike Meatloaf, it appears this is Caleb's thing to lose.

Caleb is OK but I think his style may be to old school to win. I think Sam or CJ has a better chance. Sam is more current and will appeal to younger callers. CJ's performance was not that good last night but you can tell he is a favorite of AIs powers that be.

Tonight is hour long, only one I think outside of the finale that will be a hour. Bring on the results and let's hope someone can wow me next week.

I will be interested to see who the wild card picks are.
And Mandy, is that a photo of you and Scotty at the meet and greet? Cool!

I re-listened to him on YouTube and got a new respect for his voice. thumbsup2 I like his quirkiness.

Tonight's show will be an hour so they can burn out 35 minutes of commercials... It's pretty obvious who their faves are already.

Mandy, how does the wild card work this year? Are they choosing from those poor ten kids who sat in the seats the past two nights???

They are. The ones eliminated won't get picked.

They are. The ones eliminated won't get picked.

How many will be wild cards? I can't believe I'm asking...

Thanks, I think I have an idea who they're bringing back.

Off topic but any of my fellow southern dissers in the storm path today stay safe tonight.
