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

Hey everyone..........I plan on watching LOST....can anyone give me a little re-cap? ....like celebrities who are there...........stuff like that.....
It is only 7:20 here on west coast and I am watching Dr. Phil right now,
If no one has the energy, that's cool, I am just asking..........

thanks.
 
And may I say - apart from the Great Purple One, the Idols made the "special guests" look like amateurs!

I was :rotfl2: :rotfl2: at Taylor trying to deal with Toni Braxton!

toni braxton looked totally stoned! She was like mouthing the words and making strange noises!! That was actually scarier than Meatloaf!

I TOTALLY agree with this!! She looked TOTALLY out of it & all I could hear were her little screeches!

Meatloaf was dreadful... just dreadful!

I thought Elliott did really well tonight IMHO....

LOL! it was like he didn't know what to do with her! I kept thinking of braxton-hicks contractions, lol. :rotfl2:

They sure gave him & Kat the most challenging ones to sing with. :rotfl2:
 
Seems like a good thing we could barely hear what Toni Braxton was trying to sing... how did they come up with her??? She's Taylor's idol??? I don't think so!!!!!!
 
My thoughts on tonight's show:
This is one of the few (well actually the only) shows that my dh, dd (who is five) and I sit and watch together. Tonight's show was very entertaining, but...
- I would have loved more singing from the top 12 and could have done without the whole AI award schtick. I don't like watching the "bad" auditions...they are a waste of time and they wasted a lot of my time showing them again tonight
- I don't know how the heck they picked the duet partners...but they were BAD. Kat and Meatloaf? Give me a break! Does he have Parkinsons disease? I highly doubt Meatloaf is her idol. When Mary J. Blige came on my dd (again, she'd 5) said "why is she making it all about her...isn't he (referring to Elliott) supposed to be singing...I can't even hear him". Toni Braxton...was she on drugs? What the heck was that? And even the guy from Live sang so loud you couldn't hear Chris (but at least he sounded pretty good). The only duet that was any good IMO was Paris and Al.
- When Clay came out the first thing I said was "what's with the Beatle's haircut"? But I was happy to see him...his voice is as great as ever and he really does have beautiful eyes, so I prefer the shorter hair as well. I just hate how they (AI) take advantage of people who are willing to make total fools out of themselves on TV.
- Prince? Wow! that did surprise me. I was a big fan in the 80s (purple rain, purple rain) but didn't make much sense having him here.
- Kat totally outsang Taylor tonight. I love Taylor and I'm happy he won. But if Kat had sung the whole season the way she did tonight I think she would have won. I believe that once the pressure of "competition" was off she lost her nervousness and just SANG. I've been saying it all along...just sing Kat! She was awesome tonight.
- That being said...I am so PROUD of Taylor!! I can't wait to see him in concert (getting my tickets tomorrow). I really am happy he won! SOUL PATROL! YOU GO TAYLOR! Congratulations!!
 
I most DEFINITELY vote for a Soul Patrol thread! We have to keep supporting my boy!!

CONGRATULATIONS TAYLOR!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Soul Patrol, Soul Patrol!! :dancer:

Ok, you want a recap? Lets give the memory a real workout...

They started off the show with revisiting the season of idol thru the idea of an 'awards' show, with awards for the worst acts, among them the hyper guy who almost scared Paula off the stage, and that one black chick, who did nothing but cuss at the camera. They also had a guy who outright venerated Clay. The guy comes up onstage and they have him start singing, and, of course Clay comes onstage behind him, and finished the song with the guy, it was, in a way, a nice moment to see the fan get what must have been his ultimate wish.

Among the Guests:

Toni Braxton, who was downright horrible, with Taylor.
Meatloaf, who was ok, with Kat.
The segments with Wolfgang Puck and..(forgot her name - blond southern girl) were a riot!
They also did group numbers working up thru the 12 finalists, first by male and female, then everybody with Burt Bacarach and Dionne Warwick which was a really good overall number, good to see those two still have it.
(did I miss anyone?)
yes, I did.
Chris was with a band called Live, and it was a good one.
Elliot did a number with Mary j. Blige that I just didn't get.

Prince also came out and did two abbreviated numbers all by himself. Don't quite get why he was there.

Then they announced Taylor and he sang 'his' song into the credits. I wish they would do that part just a LITTLE bit sooner and let the winner do a full on number to close the season.
 
You know, I haven't went through these kind of emotions since the Superbowl (well actually the playoff game against Indy)! I just want to congratulate Taylor and hope that I never see a Kat record anywhere!

I didn't even recognize Clay (which is a good thing becasue I thought he was very odd looking)....but I think he and the other guy singing will make a nice couple!



:rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2:
 
Just wanted to add that I thought all of the finalists were really good tonight and Idols on Tour is gonna rock!! :cool1:
 
Our local Fox station has done a 30 minute show on Bo Bice. It talks about all of the Alabama Idols but mainly talked about Bo. He has really had a rough year. Maybe this will be his year. Some friends of mine have known Taylor for many years and say that he is a very humble guy and is very appreciative of all the fans and the good fortune that has come his way.
 
it's greatthta the average guy wins.

his closing song was sweet, almost a a tear in my eye.

he's so fun to watch, it makes me feel so happy for him :goodvibes
