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

Just finished putting DD to bed. Well, Chris went too rock for me tonight, though when I tried to ignore the music he sounded pretty good compared to the first three.

Katharine sounded really good to me tonight. That was the best of the night to that point.

Bucky...sorry but Tim McGraw he isn't. He swallowed the words or mumbled too much. He also didn't hit the lower range like Tim can...and that makes the song. (I know the song well & listened to see if he messed up the words since that happens sometimes. He just didn't say some of them.)

Madissa...goodness, I guess everyone can have a bad night. Didn't like that one at all.

Paris...I think that she showed that she can be a performer. That one tops Katharine.

What this show needs tonight is Kevin doing Part-time lover! :banana: ;)
Yea, that would be better so far,,,,,,Eliott SUCKS too! :lmao:
 
Last one was definitely NOT the best.....what a disappointing night!
 
Okay, I think my TiVo has caught up with show now.

Elliot. Is. No. Bo. Bice.

Okay, so Paris is the winner tonight. Who should go home? Hmmm... Elliott, Lisa or Bucky.

Paris was pretty good, if you like that kind of music.


I'm not really sure it was appropriate for Paula to tell a 17 year old she could join the Pussycat Dolls :rolleyes:
 
So what song did Bucky sing?? I can't watch it for another couple of hours!
 
Wow! I thought Elliott ROCKED! Of course he is the hometown boy so.... :teeth:
 
Did Paula just say something about Elliott being a funky white boy or something? I think I didn't hear that correctly...

Elliott is no Bo Bice....
 
You know its a terrible week when Bucky is towards the top of the performances.

He sang a simple little country song. I forget who did it originally. He did alright, nothing to write home about and I'm a fan.
 
Sorry, didn't care for Elliott either. He is no Bo Bice! Who dressed him tonight? He is dressed like Emimen :rotfl: :rotfl:

They did better singing the 50's.

No, he's not and he SUCKED! By the way, I just voted for Taylor 5 times! :banana:
 
I think tomorrows bottom 3 will be a toss up?
 
My $.02 on the 21st century...

Lisa - Because of You - :confused3 - She's definitely got a good voice, but I don't think she can really sing "pop" music. The beginning felt like something was wrong with it (I can't really put my finger on it -- was she enunciating too much?) and in the end it felt like she was yelling.

Kellie - Suds in the Bucket - :sad2: - This should've been Kellie's night to pick a song and shine, but tonight I came to the realization that she really can't sing. She's just boring when she sings! Granted, I CAN'T STAND that song, but she did nothing with that song!

Ace - Drops of Jupiter - :crazy: - When he started, I literally laughed. All I can say is "Bye Bye Ace!" And what was with that tearing back of the shirt?!?!?

Taylor - Trouble - :goodvibes - Never heard of this song before, but after last week's Taylor debacle, he's back to the good 'ole Taylor again! Loved the song, loved the vocal, loved that he felt that he didn't have to be "showy."

Mandisa - Wanna Praise You (Shackles) - :thumbsup2 - Gospel on Idol! And I love it! Kinda felt she was yelling a little too much throughout it, but still she did a fantastic job. I agree with Simon that it was "indulgent," but I admire the fact that she chose a song that meant something to her.

Chris - What If - :rolleyes: - Gotta admit that I'm growing tired of him. I mean, there's no denying that he's a good singer (and maybe even the best in the competition), but every week seems the same to me. And this song was just boring. Still, after Mandisa's gospel number and this hard rock song, you'd never guess we were watching American Idol!

Katharine - The Voice Within - :rolleyes2 - Ouch! Was she singing this song too high for her? It didn't seem like she sang it in tune at all! I may have to powerdial for her tonight 'cause I still want her here, but that was pretty poor! Maybe I just was missing something because I totally disagree with the judges!

Bucky - Real Good Man - :crazy2: - Sorry, I just don't see him as anything but karaoke. I mean, he wasn't awful, but he just isn't good.

Paris - Work It Out - :) - I know that no one else here will like this, but I thought it was pretty good. Personally, I love this song, and she actually kind of did this song justice. Wasn't great, and she wasn't close to Beyoncé (who's overrated anyway), but she did a good job.

Elliott - I Don't Wanna Be - :cool1: - Best of the night, I think. Really love the song and, like Paula said, he made it his own. This guy can sing and it was really great to see him sing something uptempo.

Best of the Night
Elliott (the best)
Taylor
Mandisa

The Worst
Kellie
Lisa
Bucky

I'll post who I think'll be in the bottom three in a bit, but right now, I'd guess Lisa and Ace will be there.
 
Well that was an off-night for AI.

Favorite performances of the night: Elliot, Taylor, Paris
Enjoyable but not amazing: Mandisa, Bucky, Chris
Just so-so: Kelly, Katharine (I think Katharine should have chosen a Norah Jones song)
Bad: Lisa and Ace

Going home: Lisa
 
I started dialing as soon as Elliott started singing and was able to vote for Bucky a dozen times before I got a busy signal.
