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

[palmtreegirl]

It's too bad they didn't keep Chicken Little around. Could you imagine him rocking out to Queen?

I can see him on stage doing that little dance he did during "Part Time lover", while singing "Another One Bites the Dust". It would've been classic!

 

[LoraJ]

this is scary.

i have called since the show has been over and have not received one busy signal for taylor.

i have dialed since the get go tonight and always get thru immediately.

what gives, no one voting for taylor tonight???

I have not been able to get through for Taylor or Paris.

 

[Philadisney]

I have not been able to get through for Taylor or Paris.

i've only gotten through for elliott twice, and the first time was while paris was still singing so i'm not sure if it counted. back to hitting 'redial'....

 

[Tina]

I don't know who will go home tomorrow night, but I can guarantee it will be either Elliott or Ace. I think Katherine has a beautiful voice, but she bores me to tears. I still love Chris. Innuendo is not one of my favorite Queen songs and I have a list of other songs I think he could have done, but he didn't suck. I kinda think he chose this song because not many people know it and he wouldn't be compared to Freddie Mercury as easily. He was able to just sing the song. I feel confident that he'll be around for awhile yet.

 

[disnygoof]

My opinions:

Ace: He's long overdue to go home. Sorry pretty boy!
Bucky: Sorry, never liked him....not sure why he stayed and Mandissa went home...
Paris: One of my favs, her song pick was a little odd, but she worked it out!
Katharine: Overrated. Simon's just in love with her beauty. She was so sharp, she almost cut glass!
Kellie: I think she did awesome, esp w/such a difficult song and her accent. Loved the outfit, too!
Chris: Creed called, they want their look/sound/attitude back.
Elliot: He's growing on me...good song choice.
Taylor: I can't say enough about him. He's BACK! The last few weeks I wasn't seeing the love, but he's my #1 pick. I want to see him go all the way.

On a side note, anyone think Paula wants to jump Chris? LOL I think she was CRYING when she was critiquing his performance! GAG!!

 

[Jessd]

Ok, I totally forgot what time it was on tonight. Is there anywhere you can view or download tonight's episode or their performances?

 

[tarmand]

I'll review tomorrow, but for now I'd like to alert anyone that cares that Bucky is in last place on Dialidol.com and I've gotten through on about 97% of my votes for him. It's not looking too good for the Buckster. And, if I have to yell out to Paula one more time that he's NOT COUNTRY I may personally have to go drag her to rehab myself. Bucky is Southern Rock - there is a big difference.

 

[mrsdon]

I think Kelli was really, really, really AWFUL!!!!!!!
I mean awful...
I loved Taylor and was so happy to see him back.
We tried to vote for taylor for 1/2 hour and were only able to get through 1 time.

One thing was very clear to me tonight; There are no Freddie Mercury's in this group.

Ain't that the truth!

Freddy Mercury was SOOOOOO talented. He is missed......

I think that tonights show reminds us just how much these "Idols" still need to learn...

Also, does anyone else feel that the contestants have stopped growing as artists? I feel like I have stopped being amazed by them. I think we need a few more WOW moments.

 

[Michelle2]

Thank goodness that here in Mountain time, I never have problems getting through for anybody. GO CHRIS!

I think it is all song selection.

 

[Michelle2]

I agree, I have been pretty disappointed in ALL of their song selections the last few weeks...especially Chris's. I totally agree with Simon that he could have had a WOW moment tonight of all nights, but the song??? I love him, but did not like that song...

I thought tonight was great! This season is so weird, one week I'm dissappointed in just about everyone, and the next I absolutely love everyone! So here's what I thought about everyone tonight:

Bucky: As usual, I missed the first performance. All I saw was the small clip they show at the end and it seemed like he was blah as usual. I think it's way past his time, and he should be going tomorrow.

Ace: I know a lot of people thought he was horrible, but I really don't think he was as bad as everyone thinks. I thought it was one of his better performances, which I know probably isn't saying a lot.

Kellie: I know everyone will probably hate me for this, but I loved her performance! I thought she was going to be horrible, especially after Constantine did so great with it last season! But she was really good! It was so different than what she usually does, and she was really entertaining. I would have to say she was the second best of the night.

Chris: I liked him, but my mom just thought it was ok. But that's just because she's not into rock music. I was worried when Randy was giving his opinion, because I really thought he was going to say he didn't like it. Anyways, I thought he was great tonight as usual.

Katharine: I still love her and I think she has the best female voice in the competition. I thought she did great tonight, and I just absolutely love her voice. I really think she should be in the top 3, but I know she's going to be another one that goes home way before her time. On a side note, she's so pretty, I wish I could look like her.

Elliot: I thought he was good tonight. But I did think there were a few that were better, because I thought so many had really good performances tonight.

Taylor: Yay, Taylor is back! I missed his performance last week and was dissappointed that everyone seemed to not like him last week. I just absolutely loved watching his performance and I thought he was the best of the night. I just wish I could have seen the microphone kick!

Paris: She's another one that I like, that hardly anyone else does. I thought she also did very well tonight. And I loved her hair.

I honestly don't know who I'd pick as the bottom three! All I know is that it's Bucky's turn to go home. Besides him, I don't know who else should be in the bottom. I guess I'd have to say Ace and Elliot, because they were good, but not great.

I agree and I'm 28. I had a hard time concentrating on her singing. I just kept thinking ohmigosh she's beautiful! I mean she is really pretty. Those cheekbones I guess!


I liked Bucky tonight! I'm getting sick of the "country" reference though.

 

[ShuisFan584]

And the thing is, even when they show her without all of that makeup, she is still absolutely gorgeous. She's so lucky, she's got the looks and the talent.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

i just haven't been thrilled with any of the contestants at all this season...blahhh
i like Chris though, but he didn't do anything fabulous tonite.

 

[cruiserkaren]

rickey.org

I have been listening to the playbacks and as much as I'm in the minority... ..I liked Ace... I like when they change the songs up.

And I'll eat my words earlier in the day about Kellie. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought it'd be. I didn't think anyone was exceptionally bad tonight.

 

[Ranatra]

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and will probably get flamed for it...but does anyone else not like Taylor?

I don't care for Taylor or Bucky.

My bottom 3:
Bucky
Paris
Ace

 

[Planogirl]

Eh, I've been checking out the performances and most competitors are just plain dull. I can see Chris going far with the right music and Taylor is fun. Katherine has talent and Bucky is my personal favorite. The rest just seem bleh at best IMO particularly when I try to imagine them competing against real stars.
