I can't believe no one noticed Elliot messed up the lyrics! I don't usually notice when people screw up, but I know that song and I even checked the lyrics just to make sure. And sure enough he switched the first two lines around. And the third line it just sounded like he was stumbling with the words. His performance just seemed to go downhill from there. I felt so bad for him after that and I thought that it would probably cost him. But apparently, no one else even noticed!

And I also definitely miss Kevin this week. If he had survived last week, he would have definitely survived this week. He couldn't have been as bad as a lot of the performances tonight.


I actually thought he jsut forgot the words and skipped a part in the beginning. I really didn't notice the mix up in words..but there was a little pause. Maybe it was a mike thing and not him forgetting the words :confused3
 
Not impressed with anyone tonight... I was really looking forward to tonight I thought they would all be great because they could pick current songs :confused3

The theme was how bad can you sing? Either that or do your best impression of howling dogs. Either way, it was awful...

KEVIN, KEVIN, KEVIN!!!!!!



Ok this one just had me :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: how bad can you sing... :lmao:


Can we have a do over?
 

Check out www.msnbc.com under the entertainment section. There are lots of polls and articles, you can even vote for Taylor's hair color! (Gray please!)

I just love Chris, and word has it that he mentioned Live last week, and it was edited out. So at least everyone got to hear him say it tonight.

No one really impressed me tonight. Katherine looked like Peter Pan, and I thought she butchered Christina Aguilara (spelling?). Chris has my votes again, not his best tonight, but the best of the rest of the mess of tonight's show.
 
as usual, i couldn't get through to vote for anyone :rolleyes: but if i could've, i would have voted for taylor and elliot! they were FAAAANNNNTASTIC. mandisa was very good also, although i don't really enjoy gospel music. everyone else was either horrid (kellie, katherine) or boring (ace, lisa)....IMHO of course.
thanks to whoever gave the link to "part time lover!" i miss kevin.
 
Robin, you said you knew Mandisa's song.

At the beginning, she said, "Your addiction, lifestyle and situation may be big, but God is bigger." Is that part of the song somewhere or was that her own statement?
 
All in all, I agree it was a very disappointing night. I'm 48 years old, but still love rock. Loved Chris's version of What If. Thought it was better than the Creed version.

I also love Drops of Jupitor, but thought Ace did a terrible job with it. To me, he's not really good looking either. There's something weird about his eyebrows.

Mandisa was just ok. Paula's comments were totally inappropriate though.

I like Kellie and, unlike many here, I like her personality. Tonight, she was boring.

I though Bucky was good. Of course, I always think he's good. I like his raspy voice and country personality.

Taylor's always one of my favorites and tonight was no exception. Even though I'd never heard of the song, I thought he did a really good job with it and showed a different side of himself.

Paris was pretty good. DD thought she was great. I'm not a Paris or Beyonce fan though.

Elliott was good, although I like Bo's version better. I still think Elliott has a great voice for the right kind of song.

My vote for worst of the night was Katharine. DH, DD and I were wondering if we were hearing the same thing as the judges. To us, she sounded off-key and like she was trying to sing too high for her voice. Don't like her, but usually like her singing. Tonight was just awful, though.

Can't comment about Lisa since I missed the beginning of the show. I'm not really a fan though.
 
Okay, so the show sucked tonight. It makes me wonder if we will have another Fantasia on our hands this year. Fantasia sang better than everyone else that year, but that still wasn't good enough to shoot her into super stardom.

Lisa: That was just painful. Don't ever, if you get another chance, attempt to sing a Kelli Clarkson song - you don't have the charisma or the voice.

Kellie: Not good, not bad. Just kind of "eh, who cares". She didn't say anything ignorant at least.

Ace: Better than usual, but that's still not good enough. And Paula - haven't you learned your lesson?

Taylor: I loved it. I like that type of music and I thought he had excellent vocals. I kind of missed the dancing, though.

Mandisa: She was okay, but I'm am so over her screaming at me every week.

Chris: I think I'm over him too. I don't like screaming and that was his entire performance. I'm not a big fan of creed either.

Katharine: She is one of my favorites, but that was absolutely horrible.

Bucky: I LOVED IT! I don't find Bucky attractive at all, but that performance was just sexy to me. I hardly ever actually vote, but I voted for Bucky for almost 1 1/2 hours tonight. The bad news is I only got four busy signals.

Paris: I agree with Simon. She came across as a little girl trying to act like Beyonce. I don't think she pulled it off. I thought it was one of the worse of the night and that she looked silly.

Elliott: He was okay but he screwed up the words and I don't like it when they do that - there is no excuse. I agree with the poster that said he is no Bo Bice. (I know that Bo didn't orignally sing that song - I think he sang it better than the original.)

My favorites:

Bucky
Taylor

Go Home:

Lisa
Paris
 
What comments did Paula say to Mandisa...I did a potty break before the song the was over.

Her comment to Ace about the scar...Paula, Paula, Paula...after the Corey thing you should just shut up.
 
Okay I don't get all the hostility towards Katherine tonight~ I thought she was fantastic! :thumbsup2 Even Paris & Bucky who I don't care for did well tonight IMO. Taylor was good as always. Chris seems like he's singing the same song week after week now. Ace is boring as ever but as long as Lisa & Kellie (horrible!) are in the hunt, he should be safe. Love Mandisa but she screams a little too much. Elliot was good but I did notice that he seemed to forget the words there in the beginning. In short, bye bye Lisa...
 
:love: I loved Bucky!!! I want to commend Mandisa on stepping out and singing gospel, I believe she did that on the first night also. I almost didn't recognize Kellie, cause someone was reading our board and toned her down. :rotfl: I was glad to see Paula giving negative not just positive. i do believe with them singing newer songs we judged them harder cause we know them better. Tomorrow night will be all up in the air. I think anything is possible except Taylor being in the bottom 3, evertime we called him we were busy!! Everytime!! The only one that happened too. :confused3

I love Chris's voice but I agree with Simon, I'd like to see Chris do something different. I'd like to hear his voice when he is just singing and not screaming everything.

I am so bored with Chris....He started out as my #2 but has dropped below Mandissa and McPheever...Taylor still the man
 
bicker said:
Someone please tell Mandisa to stop screaming. Hate the song. At least she was in tune.

I was saying it but she didnt listen....guess she didnt hear me over her screaming...i muted the tv but she is still high on my list
 
DVC Sadie said:
Katherine was good, thank the Lord.

She looked great....I just wish they would dress her better....but she gets hotter every week
 
MeanLaureen said:
Maybe Simon caught wind of all the people on message boards complaining that he says to all the other contestants that they need to get out of their box and try something else but he would compliment Chris for knowing who he was and refusing to compromise.

I think the show has noticed as even Ryan commented on it....come Chris sing a nice ballad and lets see what you are made of...
 
bicker said:
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.

I didnt care for Bo last season and I have made that known but Elliot was terrible and made Bo sound great....Elliott has yet to impress me

I don't know why singers feel they have to "power sing" every song. :confused3

I would love to just hear her sing...no screaming, no belting it out...just sing. I know some songs it fits in...but not every single song. Same with Chris...no need to strain so when singing. His voice is good, but if he keeps singing like that he's going to damage some vocal cords. Sing a quiet song for change.
