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

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Thanks ML--I'll check it out later. The kiddos are sleeping and I do love Queen--it will require pumping the volume .

 

[Planogirl]

I was totally floored even though I guessed that she would be in the bottom three. I just didn't think it would be her but maybe Paris and Elliott. Ace improved so much that I thought that he would be safe while Bucky seems to be steadily picking up fans.

I think now that the final will be between Taylor and Chris with Katherine being a possible dark horse. Kellie? She was good last night but I hope not!

 

[DaisyD]

I was so scared Elliot was going home. To our relief it was Mandisa. I never thought she was that great to beging with. Now hopefully Paris goes next~!

 

[ashjohnson80]

Paris, Elliot and Mandisa...with Paris being the first back to safety and Mandisa going home.

Thanks. I can see Paris being in the bottom three, I don't think she was very good at all last night. It wasn't Elliot's best performance but I still like him and I definately thought Mandissa did a better job than most last night.

Wow, DialIdol was dead on!!! Maybe this will mean that AI will have to change the voting next year.

One more female gone, three more to go!

I saw that the guy made some adjustments and it'll be interesting to see how he does next week. It seemed like before he would get two of the bottom three but would be way off on the third.

I really wish that AI would restrict the votes.

Well, I was prepared for Mandisa thanks to dialidol...but I really hoped they were wrong again. Paris would have been better off going home. I don't know about you guys but I have never heard the audience be so QUIET over someone getting voted off. Even with Constantine last year there was immediate outrage. Tonight was just stunned silence for a long time....at least in terms of dead air time. With the group that is left it is going to come down to song choices every week...no more playing it safe.

Queen...I'm not so crazy about that theme...I'm thinking it's going to be a not so good week. I can't even imagine what Kellie or Bucky will do, or even Paris for that matter.

 

[Pluto's Honey]

I feel so bad I told my daughter not to worry about
mandisa that everyone else would vote for her...I wonder how many others assumed that?
I never dreamed she would be the bottom. She should have been in the top 5!!

It was so odd...we never expected it.

I feel bad for Mandisa also. This should wake the rest of them up. They looked pretty shocked when she was voted off.

Why do you say they will have to change their voting?

 

[damo]

DialIdol has had Mandisa quite low for the past three weeks. I think she had probably just squeezed through. I don't think she had a power voting fan base.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

AUGHHH!!! MANDISA IS GONE??? ohhhhhh i really liked her! i mean i REALLY liked her! just not last night, but then again i didn't like ANYONE last night....grrr....oh well on to Chris!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

sorry, but what is DialIdol? TIA!

 

[damo]

Why do you say they will have to change their voting?

Not sure if you are wanting an answer here or just being sarcastic, but here is my reasoning anyway!

Since AI likes to keep everyone in suspense, having a website that predicts results based on busy signals is just going to ruin their Wednesday ratings. If they change the voting system to, say, 10 votes per telephone, busy signals will not predict anything since there will be many fewer votes and few busy signals.

 

[AMcaptured]

Next week should be interesting....I have NO idea what some of the girls are going to pick to sing. Queen is all about Freddy Mercury and a very dominate male voice. There really is no room for a female voice. It is going to be hard for those girls next week.

On the other hand, Chris, Elliott, Ace and Taylor should shine, lets see if they do.

I am already trying to figure out who is going to sing what...Chris should pick "We Will Rock You"....Ace should pick "Bicycle"<----my favorite Queens song behind Bohemian Rhapsody. Do you think anyone will be brave enough to sing that?? Actually, didn't Constantine sing it last year or was it a different Queen song.

I don't know how Bucky is going to handle Queen. There are a lot of words in some of those songs and is he capable of articulating them?

Mandisa is better off in the long run not winning this thing. I think if she plays her cards right, she could be another Jennifer Hudson. Mandisa will be fine .

A website that predicts the results.

Yes! I was wanting an answer. I agree with it would be better if we could only vote per contestant a certain amount of times but AI likes saying how many million voted and the only way that can happen is dialers.

I think he may have and i recall it was good. IF it wasn't him--someone at some time sang it.

You know--I may be thinking of RockStar INXS.


I think Kellie will have the most difficult time singing Queen.

When they did Queen on Rockstar INXS, it was awesome with an entire choir and full orchestra.
