American Idol Season 13 Official Thread

If that was "channeling Elvis" then it was Elvis saying, "stop this trainwreck!".

I think she turned a beautiful song into a snoozefest.

...I think you're misinterpreting it a bit....I think he was saying: "Thank youuuuu....thankyou vurrrry muuuuuuch!" .....or something along those lines. But don 't quote me on that....

Caleb, Jess, and Gena were best on song 3. Couldn't review Alex as DW ff'd through most of his performances

Eligibility Rule Change for next season:

Last season, for the first time ever, a set of former semi-finalists were eligible to re-audition. Check that out here. For season 14, the only season 13 contestants ineligible are the Top 10, rather than the Top 13. In other words, for the first time ever, 3 former non-touring finalists and 2 wildcard contenders may re-audition. Their names are listed below, in addition to other semi-finalists.

Seriously love coming in and reading everyone's comments after I've finished watching the show.

Caleb just seems so angry when he performs most of the time - he kind of scares me a little. I'm glad he softened things up with that last song - my favorite of his tonight.

When I watch Jessica perform I just get a deer in a headlight sort of sense from her. She just seems so in her head and doesn't come across as a comfortable performer - it is as if she is always thinking one step ahead of what she is actually doing. Didn't hate any of her performances but honestly can't remember them either.

Jena (pronounced Gina) just grates on me for some reason. She has that weird thing that goes on with how she forms her words when she is singing and while I recognize her talent, most of the time that odd quality in her voice just makes me feel like my ears are going to start bleeding. Although I'm not sure I really enjoyed the performance, I found her last song the least grating to listen to.

Despite his weird pee-pee dance thing, I thought Alex had the most consistently enjoyable performances of the night. Maybe someone should tell Jennifer Lopez that there are a lot of people who actually enjoy the fact that Alex isn't out there screaming all of his songs? Yes, some of us might like that we have to actively listen and be engaged rather than being blasted by shouting and spectacle?

....ok...WTH was that?

DH and I thought it was some kind of attempted censorship of JLo and her f-bombs.

Loved the final performances especially Jena and Caleb! I can see them as the final two. At first I was thinking Caleb and Alex, but she really brought it for that last song.

Here's my ranking for last night:

1. Caleb - I think he did the best overall with all three of his songs.
2. Alex - Very close second.
3. Jena - She redeemed herself with her last song.
4. Jessica - Didn't care for anything she sang last night. I agreed with the judges - she definitely has had better performances throughout the competition than she did last night. She has a lot of talent, but makes poor song choices.

lol, I ff'd through everyone except Alex! I just don't care about them at all. It makes the show go very quickly, I must admit!

Based on Ryan's comments, we too thought it was cover for a Jlo f-bomb.

And just 24 hours later the record was broken when the same was said to Mariah Carey.

I think this is my favorite today. I love the Jlo ponytail thing going on.
