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

[Cindy B]

I would not shock me if Kellie, Ace or Paris went home. Heck, last night was such a train wreck any one could really go home and I'd be happy.

Shocking to me would be if Katherine went home.

 

[damo]

No, but it would be a SHOCK if Ace went home.

More of a shock than when LaToya London went home? Isn't that what he said? I don't think Ace going home would be that much of a shocker.

Well, yea you got a point there.

I'm stumped - it could be ANYONE - is it 8:00 yet???

 

[Cyndirella]

I missed last night's show, but from what I have read on various message boards it doesn't sound like I missed much.

But...what is the deal with Ace's scar? I keep seeing mention of it but no explanation as to what happened to bring attention to it.

 

[bicker]

He was playing basketball and fell on a t-bar.

 

[Nancy]

I think it's Ace - his fan base is HUGE - like Constantine last year and we all remember what happened to Con

**my boy Bucky wouldn't be a shock so I'm hoping he's safe for another week**

I don't think Ace as anywhere near the amount of fans that Constantine had. He has already been bottom 3 so he would not be a shocker.

Shocker would be Bucky, Mandisa or Paris to me.

 

[kitn]

Shocker would be Taylor, Mandisa, and Chris.... But nothing on this show really shocks me anymore. I hope the shocker is that Kellie is going home but I dont think I am that lucky.

When he is singing Drops of Jupiter, the line is, "Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar"

So he pulled back to top of his shirt to reveal his permanent scar. Cheesie but Paula liked it!

 

[Planogirl]

Ooh, I hope that Nigel means that all of the bottom three would be a shocker and not just one. I can't see Bucky being a surprise so hopefully it's not him.

I hope that it's not Taylor or Chris either. I'm not ready for them to go just yet. Otherwise...I don't know. Could it be Mandisa, Elliott and Katherine? I can't see Ace, Bucky or Lisa if all three are shocking. It's probably not Paris either. Kellie? This is hard!

 

[Virgo10]

Shocking to me would be Randy, Paula and Simon.

As for contestants, Madisa, Kellie or Katharine. I would like to see Katharine pack her bags.

 

[Fan2CSkr]

Shocking would be someone that hasnt been in the bottom 3. I have a feeling Ace could go but I wouldnt be shocked. I would be shocked but happy if Kellie was picked. I realy hope it isnt Bucky, but that wouldnt be shocking either. Elliott maybe? Has he been in the bottom 3?

I guess like stated before the only shockers would be Chris, Taylor or Mandissa.

 

[ShuisFan584]

Well, I have read all the comments from last night on about 5 different message boards. The conclusion is that no one agrees on who had the best or worst performance or even the ones in between. Usually, it is quite easy to see who did a very good job and who is in danger of leaving but not tonight.

I have seen Bucky as the best and the worst.
I have seen Katharine as the best and the worst.
I have seen Kellie as the best and the worst.
I have seen Elliott as the best and the worst.
I have seen Paris as the best and the worst.
I have seen Chris as the best and the worst.
I have seen Mandisa as the best and the worst.


So, tonight should be interesting.

I'm guessing that no one said Lisa or Ace was the best and no one said that Taylor was the worst?

Honestly, the only person that would really shock me to see in the bottom is Taylor. He's the only one that's been consistently good and seems to have the biggest fanbase (plus it's nearly impossible to get through on his phone lines!) I also might be a little surprised to see Kellie and Chris there because they always seem to round out the top 3 in votes every week.

Lisa, Ace and Bucky have already been in the bottom so they wouldn't be shocking at all.

And then with Mandisa, Katharine, Paris and Elliot, everyone seems to have such mixed opinions about their performances. I thought Katharine was one of the best last night while a lot of people thought she was off key. Some people thought Elliot was one of the best, I thought that was his worst performance to date, and the worst performance of the night because of his messing up the lyrics!

Anyways, I'm getting a little disappointed with this season. The first week was bad, the second week I thought almost everyone was great, and then this week again stunk. I just hope the next coming weeks get better, because I honestly thought that this could possibly be the best overall group they've had. But now I'm not so sure.

I'm feeling the same way. They don't seem to be improving with time as is usually the norm. This group seems to be losing what we thought was star quality in the beginning.

 

[damo]

We always feel this way mid-season. Always.

 

[Planogirl]

Maybe they're extra tired since this competition has seemed so tight?

I still think that there is some major talent on the show but they're definitely not performing.

 

[cheerbop]

My belief of shocking would be

Katherine
Taylor
Chris

That would definitely shock me. Some of the other, no...even though I really like them or USED to like them, none others would SHOCK as Nigel said in his interview.

We will see in a few........

I think something would be just a bit wrong if it was the three of them in the bottom. Although I think the most shocking would be Taylor Chris and Kellie, considering they've almost always been the top 3 on dial idol.

 

[dolphindan1]

According to our local paper (www.thesnaponline.com) Kellie has had an ear infection and sore throat since last week. She only rehearsed one day. Perhaps that's the reason for the lack of energy?

You could tell that somethig was wrong just not herself...she didnt really say anything silly....except apologizing to Paula....She will be safe I am sure

Yes, could be Kellie also. And I agree with you. I would think something is very wrong if any of those 4 were in bottom 3, but this has happened in the past. I think AI loves the SHOCK factor to keep people interested.

 

[dolphindan1]

Oh God...country next week??? Guess I won't be watching next weeks show.

I think we need to ship BUcky and Kellie ovr to Nashville Star!

Thats a pathetic statement....I dont care for rock but I still support the singers and watch....maybe you should you might get cultured....LOL....just joking aroud....you might actually like it...i think country can really show off a persons voice....cause lets face it its singing and not screaming....
