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

[mcr5298]

Yay, I am so happy that Brenna is gone! How freakin' annoying was she!!! I liked Sway, but his voice just wasn't strong enough. David was just boring to me. And I knew that Heather was done as soon as she started singing last night. She can go back to stalking American Idol now.

So true! I wonder if she's hitting on Ace yet?

Um, am I the only one that thinks that Ace plays for the other team?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chris! I want to see him go all the way too. But I also really like Elliot's voice. He is so amazing, but doesn't look the idol part. I'm also hanging in for Taylor!

As far as the girls, I like really have become a fan of Ayla! I also like Katharine, Paris, Kellie and Mandisa. It's going to be harder to decide who my top girls are.

 

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

Bye David. You can croon for me anytime, baby!

The rest of you, good riddance. I wish someone would do some emergency beautification treatments for Elliott, because MAN, he can sing!

 

[cheerful chickadee]

Kevin - why is he still there, people? WHY??? "Sex symbol"??? He's NOT cute. He's NOT adorable. His voice is average compared to the rest of the guys. I don't want to pinch his creepy little cheeks. Vote him off already!!! I don't get how David is still there either.

I totally agree, he's butchered both songs he's sung so far, I can't handle watching him sing. ughhh it's like watching a terrible middle school talent show!!

 

[palmtreegirl]

Um, am I the only one that thinks that Ace plays for the other team?

Never thought about it, I don't even find him attractive but rumor has it Paula always picks a "favorite" male contestant. *shudder*

 

[damo]

Um, am I the only one that thinks that Ace plays for the other team?

Haven't got that vibe yet.

 

[Jerseylicious]

I think Kevin's adorable but come on, he does NOT sing better than Sway! He just has some type of weird cult following. LOL


CHRIS ROCKS! Hey I mean Chris Daughtry not Chris Rock himself. HAHAHA! Let me just say that I am a HUUUUUUUUUGE Bon Jovi fan, being from the same town of Sayreville, NJ.....and when I heard Chris do Wanted: Dead or Alive, he actually gave me chills!!! It is RARE to IMPOSSIBLE to hear someone cover your fave band and actually LOVE IT! I would totally buy his album!

 

[Jerseylicious]

Oh, and speaking of Taylor, I love him also! I found this on a website. He seems to have a little CD out, and we want to get it. You can listen to three of his songs right online, and they're awesome!!!

 

[Pluto's Honey]

I think they all have a script and Paula and Simon were just following it. Ryan had gotten told he was harsh last year and so now they are trying to make him look sympathetic.

Those were no surprises!

Who do you think will be the top 12!?!?

I think the girls will be (in particular order)
AYLA, KELLIE, MANDISA, PARIS, MELISSA, LISA

I think the boys will be (in particular order)
CHRIS, BUCKY, TAYLOR, ELLIOTT, ACE, WILL (I want Will but afraid it will be GEDEON)

 

[dolphindan1]

Carrie was great tonight just as she was last season and those of you who dont like her are just jealous...she was by far the best voice last season....America got it right not like the season before when Fantasia won it....she was terrible I thought....

I think the obvious went tonight and its gonna be much harder to choose from here...I the the next obvious out of the guys are Kevin, Will and Gedeon....Although I like Gedeon this week....The girls....too me overall the girls are better than the guys....I guess Kinnik and Melissa are the next obvios choices to go....just my humble opinion

 

[ShuisFan584]

Well I can't say that I was surprised about anyone tonight. But I was definitely upset to see David leave. I know no one else really liked his style, but I did, and that's why I also loved John Stevens. And it was so sad because it looked like all the contestants really liked him, the way they all came up on stage with him, and especially the girls looked really upset. But anyways, I kinda saw it coming, so I wasn't too upset.

As for Sway, Heather, and Brenna, I could care less to see them leave. I didn't think any of them were very good singers, but their attitudes also bugged me.

The only person left that really bugs me is Gedeon. He's an ok singer, but no where near being the best. I just really don't like how cocky he is. I remember when he made it to the top 24, when Randy asked him what he thought he was going to say to him, he said that he was going to tell him that he made it. And today he was the only one that was so confident about not being in the bottom three (and boy would I have loved to see him there just because of that comment). Everyone else had at least some modesty.

I guess the one good thing about David and Brenna being the lowest vote getters, is that the whole VFTW thing isn't working.\

Anyways my top 6 girls are still:
Paris, Lisa, Katharine, Mandisa, Ayla, Kelly

And my top 6 guys are:
Taylor, Chris, Will, Ace, Elliot, Kevin

Unfortunately, I'm afraid Melissa might take one of the girls spots, and I'm afraid Bucky or Gedeon will make it over Kevin.

 

[doccath]

Oh, and speaking of Taylor, I love him also! I found this on a website. He seems to have a little CD out, and we want to get it. You can listen to three of his songs right online, and they're awesome!!!

thank you sooooo much for finding this. I absolutely love his singing. I don't think he is going to win, think either Chris or Mandisa will but would buy his album in a heartbeat

Gedeon maybe confident and have a little attitude going but after Brenna nobody has attitude..
He is a stronger singer. I like Kevin but honestly he doesn't deserve to be in the top six. If he doesn't knock a great performance next week he should go.
Hopefully then goes back to school and works on vocal strength and then he will have a career. He was too safe with his song choices so far.

I

Someone is lucky, but it sure isn't me!

Other websites have been speculating that about Ace for 3 weeks! (since Hollywood) Ok, first the bio states "love interest" on the official website, not g/f or girl. Then he states he admires George Michael (GAY), the other singing also rumored to be GAY. Theres been some scuttlebut that he will be singing REM--also GAY.

He doesn't really hug the girls either at the end of the night and sort of stands to the side of them. He will perform for them when he sings, but he doesn't give of a sexual vibe like Chris... god he drips sex appeal.

There is also another rumor that a female contestant is speculated to be pregnant and almost quit the show a few days ago.

 

[Cindy B]

So true! I wonder if she's hitting on Ace yet?

I think Paula's favorite wasn't really Ace, but Sway.

 

[Donna]

We all noticed it last year too. I don't remember her being that bad in other seasons. last year she was loopy, this season she is really annoying and looks out of it.

She was definitely ON something for sure !!

What gets me about her is, never fails, on the boys singing night, she'll wear a really low cut top and then she'll do all she can to stick them out! on the girls nights, she's alot more conservative! She needs to watch the playback of last night to see what a fool she made of herself! I'm glad everyone else noticed, how could you help NOT notice, lol!

 

[tevagirl]

Um, am I the only one that thinks that Ace plays for the other team?

I have a feeling he does.

 

[Virgo10]

No surprises last night for sure but first a word about the "esteemed" Judges. I was in the yeah Paula is a flake at times but I never really saw any indication she was looped camp. Well I was until last night. She not only acted drunk/high, she LOOKED drunk/high. That was shameful behavior in front of these young kids especially taking into consideration they are waiting for news that will change their lives. Simon, who tries to put across that he's a sophisticated Brit every time he gets on camera, is equally as guilty. It wasn't amusing and to quote Simon, it was appalling. OK, rant over.

Yup, bye, bye to those four. The only one I'll miss in the least is Sway. Even if he had made it through this week, his days were numbered. There's just too many strong singers among the guys.

Carrie looks good. Didn't care for the song though. I was (and am) a Bo fan. She just didn't do it for me but that doesn't make me jealous. She has a pleasant voice but I never found it remarkable.

In order, my top 6 gals are:

Mandisa
Ayla
Lisa
Paris
Kellie
Melissa

And the guys:
Elliott
Taylor
Chris
Gedeon
Will
Ace

As always, JMHO.

Is Paula drunk

I agree...Paula is a complete bafoon!! What is going on with her. She is such an embarrasment to that show. And what was she talking about with Heather and Kinnik (something about salad and pizza?). I love AI but anymore I find myself changing the channel when she is on.
