American Idol, Season 5 **Official Discussion Thread** Part 2

[emmabelle]

I totally get the charts thing, but I wish it could have been a song from this century.

I dont understand the slimy comments
if the producers didnt approve, he would have to choose a differnt song.
If they and they are the ones making the decisons dont have a problem with it, then you shouldnt either.

Can I quote you on that?

I tend to agree with you about the premacy of the producer's decisions and actions. However, there are dozens of messages in this thread where the producers were "accused" of biasing the proceedings in favor of their preferred singers. I doubt you could get the agreement of any of the folks who have made such comments in the past to retract their comments. (You're welcome to try! ) I actually haven't questioned the producers, at all, but am just expressing my impression of Taylor's selection. The fact that I'm okay with whatever the producers decide doesn't affect whether I, myself, believe something is slimy or not. I can respect the producers (their show; their rules) without having to suppress my personal impressions of what's going on in favor of what they apparently feel about it.

That's interesting, Damo! I wonder if that's why Paris was placed there... there's no doubt the target is on her head after being in the bottom 3 so many times. IMHO the competition is between Kat, Chris and Taylor, even though I really like Elliott.

Bring it on, it's almost TIME!!!!

 

[RyMickey]

Elliot was good...but I think that song is just blah.

 

[Poohbear123]

Is his usual self! Hi everyone!

 

[damo]

Really liked Elliott's version. Not my favourite song but he did a nice job with it. He is really getting so much more comfortable on stage and it is coming through in his performances.

 

[Poohbear123]

PRINCE? A GOD? Whatever!

 

[WDWLVR]

Paris. Not doing much for me.

 

[Poohbear123]

And Your Kiss. PARIS!

 

[Shugardrawers]

I really hate Prince but Paris is doing fairly well for a change!

 

[RyMickey]

Paris...yuck! I can't stand Prince (he weirds me out) and this song makes me cringe. Her performance didn't change my opinion. It was pretty awful.

 

[Poohbear123]

Sceechy and annoying Simon is!

 

[kdibattista]

Simon

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Okay, that was just... weird
