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

[tarmand]

Damo,

Care to share your spoiler source? I'd love to read more spoilers.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

So they're singing Queen next week...

I think Taylor would be a delight singing "Fat Bottom Girls"

 

[2bemarried]

Chris is smoking hot (his wife is a very lucky woman). The fact that he is such a devoted husband and father to his step-kids makes him doubly so. He doesn't need this competition to further his career at this point, but "I" need him!!!

Just looking at Chris sets me on fire...now add that to his singing ability and I

DH is always a happy man when I get to see Chris on stage

Damo,

Care to share your spoiler source? I'd love to read more spoilers.

I check out several sources and just take what seems to be most consistent.

Thanks for the Vertical Horizon info . I didn't think I was imagining it since I don't listen to country unless I'm forced to. So was it a popular country song at some point, too?

The song was done by Gary Allen. Gary has a very smoky, husky, sexy voice...When he sings the song it would make you melt.

What Nigel is saying this morning: copied from another board:

"He, Nigel, says that after getting last night's results he was so upset he couldn't sleep. He kept telling Ryan he wished he wouldn't have mentioned it, because he is getting ill all over again just thinking about it.

In another post he was quoted as saying that someone Very Popular is going home tonight!!!!! Stated everyone would be shocked, but that term is used too loosely by him."


Now, who could it be if Nigel said he's lost sleep over who's going home???

Does anyone think it could be Taylor???

Didn't he also say that we would be "shocked" last week

 

[cruiserkaren]

I just listened to some of them on Rickey.org. Bucky sounded great on the playback, better than last night. I thought Chris sounded better too. I listened to Paris again too, b/c my mom said she really liked it. Uhhh, I don't know what my mom was heard b/c the playback was worse than last night.

I wouldn't be upset if dialidol is right. JMO

 

[CookieGVB]

I think Paris is going home - just with Simon's "reverse psychology" thing alone - I think he's counting on it, too. Watch tonight to see if he looks triumphant or not.

 

[damo]

I guess Katharine was that shocker. He never said we would be shocked about who went home, just who was in the bottom three, or bottom two in this case.

Here is the total spoiler landline votes from central, eastern and mountain. These do not include cell and text messaging. Highlight to view.

Taylor 3,648,266
Chris 3,535,452
Kellie 2,055,579
Katharine 1,805,152
Ace 1,590,747
Bucky 1,246,759
Elliott 1,190,963
Mandisa 1,080,693
Paris 1,036,342


I would imagine that the bottom person on that list would benefit most from text messaging, so I think the person second from the bottom is leaving.

 

[marymrg]

Absolute shock to me would be Chris or Taylor leaving and I don't think that would happen.

So, it's got to be either Mandisa or Paris going tonight. Or maybe not.

Or Elliott.

Someboday get Mandisa a fashion stylist. She CANNOT where tight pants or sleeveless tops. That halter she was wearing was horrible. It made her look freakishly chesty, the stripes accentuated her girthiness, and the lack of arm coverings showed off her flabby bat-wing arms. She is a beautiful plus-sized girl and needs to dress appropriately to show off herself.

I personally loved her top but feel like it should have had vertical not horizontal stripes. But I can agree that she should get another stylist. The one she has had hasn't been making very good choices for her.

 

[cheeringmom]

UGH i am so peod. I missed AI last week since we were at Disney. And I knew we wouldn't be home last night so I taped it...however, the stupid NEW VCR tape was bad -got a great picture but no sound!!! I tried it on both VCR's in the house. So what good will it do me to watch it and not hear it!! Thanks goodness for this thread. At least I can get a good notion on who may get the boot tonight!

Not to worry. You need to go here:

Last night AI performances

You should be able to see most, if not all, of them.

Have fun!

Okay, first - those before and after pictures of Kenny Rogers - His plastic surgeon definately did not know "when to hold them and when to fold them" and Kenny had no idea of "when to walk away and when to run".

I'm guessing it will definitely be between Mandisa and Paris tonight. I'm going to put my money on Paris going.

Oh, and Damo, those spoiler vote counts you have. Can you imagine what a squeaker the final 2 will be if it's between Chris and Taylor. WHOA. They were CLOSE.

OMG!

Damo,

I haven't added them all up, but I think your totals only equal about 17 million (or so) votes. Last week, Seacrest said they had something like "more than 30 million...I think), so I don't see how those could possibly be correct. Even accounting for cell phones and text messenging, I wouldn't think it would be enough to make up that difference.

Hope I'm wrong, though

The totals are missing cell numbers, text messages, AND the Pacific Time Zone (and ALaska/Hawaii)

 

[kesha]

This is getting harder for me to guess because I think all of them are talented. My guess for the person going home this week will be Paris. I don't think it will really matter for her future in singing. She will go far.

Ohhh... Well, I guess I can see that, then. California alone must be good for a couple million.

Thanks
