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

[Virgo10]

where do you download last night's songs? There are a few I'd like to hear over. Thanks

I use this site but only to listen to them. They're normally only on there for a week. I'm always afraid of picking up a virus but if you do download them and they're OK, let me know.

No rumours on who's going home tonight????

Last week we got the bottom three will be a shock.

 

[Michelle2]

I agree as well! The first week when it came down to Patrick and Bucky leaving, I was hoping it would be Bucky. His voice is just like too scratchy or something. I haven't enjoyed any of his performances so far and I still think that should be Will's spot. I really hope it's him that goes this week because I really like everyone else and would like to see everyone else on tour!

I totally agree about wanting Bucky gone from the very beginning. I am so curious to see who the bottom 3 are this week...any spoilers out now that dialidol is gone??

Dialidol is operational. Take a look for yourself. The C & D order was only for the copyright graphics, not for the actual software/content.

Dialidol is predicting percentage wise that Elliot will go. However, statistically they have been incorrect before.

Spoiler below - highlight to see............

According to DialIdol (which is back up) the bottom three will be Bucky, Lisa and Elliott, in that order. It looks like Elliott may go.

I had trouble getting thru to vote for katharine. My other favorite was elliott and i got through 20 times in a row.

 

[Cindy B]

As I have said before dialidol has been incorrect before. The percentage totals for Melissa were at number 8 I think and she still got the boot prior to some of the other lower ranked performers (Lisa and Paris if I remember correctly)

Elliot may very well go. I'd hate to see that though. Lisa is and Ace were still lower statistically, so we will have to see. Kevin has also had a lower ranking statistically, but has not left.

If I remember my statistics class/data collection rules, dialidol is only from a sampling but not from every household that actually votes which could skew the percertage totals. I may be wrong on this , but that is how I interpreted the data.

I wouldn't be suprised if either Bucky, Lisa, Kevin were the bottom three and most likely Bucky booted. I wouldn't be suprised either if Lisa got the boot. Kevin should have been booted weeks before, but since this is a popularity contest and NOT a singing contest (cough cough) he will be around like a parasite sucking on the host site for a few weeks longer.

Please repeat after me:

Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais, Kellie Pickler and Kevin Covais...

haha, there are a couple others I might throw in there too!

 

[Simba's Mom]

Since this is my first season of watching AI, I was wondering-do they vote off only one contestant per week from here on in? If so, this season is going to last a lot more weeks! I was just wondering-they went from 24 to 12 by cutting 4 at a time, now is it just 1?

What was with Kellie kicking the mike across the floor?

This was the way they had them the week melissa went home. I think that was the week it went down cause it was overloaded and the other weeks haven't been off like that. When Elliot said what he did...some probably didn't vote for him. I didn't like his singing either.

9 Melissa McGhee 10.2117
10 Kevin Covais 9.5325
Ace Young 6.9892
12 Lisa Tucker 5.9833

No one else noticed that Chris admitted to mixing up the words? Nobody noticed, yet he still admitted it. And as for the judges compliments, do you think he'd say ''Oh, well thanks, but it was Live's version''? That would look really dumb on his part, I think. I really like Chris!

Curious Poll on Eonline:

The site seems to be working fine now.

 

[lillygator]

could the Chris thing be an "editing" thing...I mean, look at the Bachelor editing...obviously they couldn't put all the idols interviews in there...and I am rewatching last nights show and Randy - I thought said "you did the alternative version"....I don't know....Chris was saying he was putting his own spin on it then they cut the interview...could he have finished that off with I am doing the Live version? (BTW - Mental Jewelry is one of my fav albums!)


.....pulling at straws here!

 

[lizanne]

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.

You know both last week and this week, in the taped portion, Chris said that he remembered "so & so's" version and that's what he was doing. If he's getting credit it's because people aren't listening not because he's being sneeky.

 

[DVC Sadie]

I guess I'll step into that fire right with you. I'm not a huge fan of Elliott at all, I don't care for Kevin but thought he did good last night & I don't care for Bucky. Taylor - I could take him or leave him. He doesn't do much for me.

I actually like Lisa, unlike others, but I don't think she'll go all the way.

My favorites are still Mandisa & Chris & I'd like to see them in the end.

Thanks MELSMICE, I 've never jumped into a fire with anyone else before. I agree with you in regaeds to Bucky and Taylor. I think Lisa is "cute" and has a good voice but she's missing something so far. Maybe she can bring it if she lasts.

 

[lillygator]

oh and those who are bashing kellie/kelly however you spell it...she was doing a Patsy Cline song that has been redone by many including Garth Brooks and I don't think it is fair to compare her to PC as she was definitely not trying to be or sing like her...I don't care for her but I thought this was her best vocal next to her audition.

Unlike Chris who self admitted do a version of Cash and not teh version cash made.

She was doing a Patsy cline song--not anyone else's rendition/interpretation of her song.

Big difference.

It is fair to compare her as she was doing Patsy's song.
