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

Bottom 3 for me tonight: lowest: Bucky
next in line: Lisa
3rd lowest: Kevin



There were 5 people better than Ace...Mandisa, Chris, Taylor, Katharine and even Paris.

5 better, 5 worse...he falls right in the middle of the pack.
 
i like little sammy! can i vote for her to come back next week? :teeth: she's a way better co-host for ryan than ol' whats-his-face from season 1.
 

Bottom three - Bucky, Ace, Lisa

I hope it's not Lisa, I think she's really talented but she hasn't been at her best the last 2 weeks.

I'm ready for Bucky and Ace to go. Kevin too, but I though tonight was his best so I'd give him a break.

Ok, Chris and Mandisa are getting my votes tonight. No one else particularly wowed me.


Gotta agree with you. I loved LOVED loved Chris' performance and Mandisa's was a close second.

Bottom 3: Lisa, Kevin, Kelly

Going home: Lisa (though she's the most talented of the 3)

This was an awesome AI tonight! No really bad performances and a lot of amazing ones!

:cheer2:
 
Mandisa-Damn! That was fantastic, really, really great. :thumbsup2 :woohoo: :thumbsup2
Simon's comments were hysterical
Bucky- I liked it, it was a fun performance, not his best but I still like Bucky a lot..:teeth:
Paris-She can belt it out all she wants but she has no clue what she's singing about so it just dosn't matter to me.
Chris- Started off really rocky, middle was good but then he turned it into the same thing he's done the last weeks. Eh. :confused3
Katherine- She grates my nerves, comes off so phoney to me. She's got a great voice but she bugs me. :crazy2:
Taylor- I love Taylor but this performance just didn't do much for me. Not enough song there.
Sit down Paula, please don't dance because for some reason your grossing me out.
Lisa- :scared: Yeh, no. Wow Kevin might actually be better tonight.
Kevin- :woohoo: Go Chicken Little!!!
Elliot- He's got a great voice but it was sort of boring.
Kellie- I love Kellie, however I don't love her in yellow.;) I thought she sounded great tonight.
Ace After hearing the song title I'm scared. Started off sketchy but it picked up and turned out pretty good.
Paula's grossing me out again. :scared:

Bye, bye Lisa! :wave2:
 
I didn't watch tonight. I got into a writing jag and couldn't stop. How was it?
 
Why is Chris being praised for his originality?

2nd week in a row he has taken a song in the theme and used a previously covered version for his inspiration. Last week is was Chili Peppers, which he did mention. This week, he sounded pretty much like Live's cover of "I Walk the Line."

Chris will not get any respect from me until he leaves his comfrot zone.

Sorry Simon, I don't call it uncompromising, I call it Playing it Safe and being Lazy.
 
On the news now there is a story that Paula was almost fired? They will announce that she may still go and who will replace her. Anyone here about this?

*editied* that just said "will Paula get the boot." "Shes walking on thin idol ice". "Find out what she did".Of course they HAVE to drag the story out till the end of the news. :furious:
 
Did anyone else think Paula was in an "altered" state again tonight?? Her eyes looked funny and I thought she was trying really hard to appear sober.

I have been texting my votes for the first time tonight. It is so much easier than picking up the phone and redialing. I have 200 texts a month and bearly use 50 but I think Ace is getting 100 of mine tonight.....As my daughter would say....He is SMOKIN'...... :smokin:

ITA, I don't get it either. :confused3
 
During the show I realized who Paris reminds me of....besides Fantasia, I mean. Put a wig on Cuba Gooding Jr. and have him talk like a baby and there you go.
 
Wow I loved tonight, a lot better than last week! This is what I thought of everyone tonight:

Mandisa: I got home just in time, I only missed the first couple notes of her song. All I can say is wow, what a great way to start the show! I was thinking, I feel bad for whoever has to right after her! Anyways she was probably the best one tonight.

Bucky: Boy I'm glad it was him that went right after Mandisa. I don't like him and I sure didn't like him tonight. I still think it should have been Will instead of him and I'm ready to see him go. His was probably the only performance I didn't enjoy tonight.

Paris: I know a lot of people don't like her, but I love her voice, and I definitely don't think it sounds like Fantasia, because I couldn't stand her! And I think she's adorable.

Chris: I didn't like the way he started out because it seemed like he was singing too low, but I think he did great the rest of the song! I can't compare it to the original though, because I don't know it.

Katharine: I thought she was great as usual. And I still think she's probably the best female in the competition.

Taylor: I absolutely love Taylor and want him to win, but I absolutely didn't love the song. He wasn't bad singing it, it's just that the song was so boring. It was the same line over and over again. He was still entertaining as usual though! And I know he's not going anywhere anytime soon, so I'm not worried.

Lisa: I feel so bad for her. She has an amazing voice for a 16 year old but she just doesn't seem to have the fanbase. I think she did great tonight, but unfortunately I think she's going to be in the bottom 3 again (and possibly going home) just because she doesn't have a big fanbase.

Kevin: I know a lot of people don't like him, but I still think he's great! And I think this was probably his best performance so far. I definitely don't think he should be going home tonight. Out of all of the guys, I think he's better than Bucky and Ace, so I think he should at least stay past those two.

Elliot: I thought he was good tonight, and he should definitely at least be in the top 6. But I'm afraid that what he said about Barry Manilow might hurt him.

Kellie: I know a lot of people don't like her, but like Kevin, I love her! I think she has a great voice and I think she's been improving a lot. This was probably her best performance so far. And of course, I absolutely love her personality, she makes me laugh all the time.

Ace: I can't really judge him tonight. I went upstairs during his performance and my TV upstairs was fuzzy, so I couldn't hear him all that well.

The only person I think really deserves to be in the bottom 3 tomorrow night is Bucky. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll be going home, I think it will be Lisa.

I think she looks like Gary Colemen in drag. :rotfl:
 
Yeah, Chris' "version" of Walk the Line happened to be yet ANOTHER ripoff from an alternative band who had already done it...Live. It's on their Best of CD. Yet, Chris keeps getting credit.

What a PHONY.
 
How long are the phone lines open again?? Is it two hours after the show goes off?

Also, AI doesn't end on the West Coast until it is 1 o'clock here on the East Coast. Do they shut off the East Coast phone lines and if you are texting, how would they know where you are calling from? Your area code doesn't guarantee you are viewing from that state.

Just wondering if anyone knows the answers to these "hard" questions..:)

I can't go back to all the pages on this thread, but what is up with Paula? I noticed something was "off" last week, almost like she was high on something, and then tonight her eyes seemed half closed. Are there any truths to her taking anything, has this been confirmed?
