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

[Nancy]

I know, what I'm saying is that IF down the road these happen to be the top 5 how would I feel??? I would feel that it's all planned out ahead of time.

Of course, we won't know until it gets down to the top 5 so we will see in a few weeks.

I get what you are saying now, I thought you were thinking they had an inside scoop and they were already determined...sorry.

Now if that turns out to be THE top five, I'll be ticked because 1 of them doesn't belong there.

 

[dturner]

I posted the TV Guide info and that is their top 5 not THE top 5. They were wrong about Lisa Rinna on Dancing with the Stars. I was just disappointed that Taylor and Elliot didn't make their top 5 and we didn't get a mini bio. I think that all coverage is just icing on the cake but it does help. Sorry if I confused anyone. As for the spoilers keep them coming. Thanks

I understand what you meant. TV Guide should of done mini-bio's on everyone who is left - why give certain people more exposure then others??? It's not fair!!

As for the TV guide..I guess that is their picks. The only one I would take out is Kellie and replace her with Taylor.


My 2 favorite days of the week are Tuesday and Thursday (Thursday is the day my store puts out all the new gossip magazines)

ITA Nancy. I love my "trash rags" as my dh calls them.

I read an interview with Simon that says he thinks Kellie will be in the final three. I wanted to bash him on the head with a messy diaper for that. She is just not that good.

Yup. I read that and also heard it on the radio. Simon's top picks are: Chris, Taylor and Kellie. I agree with the first two but not the third. I would substitute Mandisa or Katharine.

 

[wvrevy]

Keep in mind, just because Simon says he thinks that will BE the final three, doesn't necessarily means he believes that it should be the final three. I think he may just recognize that a lot of people vote for "likeability" over talent. After all...how else could Kevin still be there?

Please go to the show so I can see it happen!!!

That what AI did with Melissa. Noone had ever seen or heard of her before the finals. FAir?? Not that she would have made it farther but still should have done differently. Other seasons have had ones that just didn't get the exposure as others. I do think it hinders them.
As of TV Guide---is all we have left 5? No we have 11...If they thought that would be the top5 they should have noted them that way but listed all.

Really looking forward to tonight's show...wondering who willbring it tonight.

New Ace spoiler

In the Still of the Night

Editted because I'm stupid.

Is that "still" instead of "heat"?

Shhhhh. It's a spoiler. But ya, you are right. I don't know why I typed that. I am humming it in my head. I'll go edit.

 

[Virgo10]

I would put my top 5 at Chris, Mandisa, Taylor, Katherine, and Elliott. That group does well consistently.

Ditto but my order would be Taylor, Mandisa, Elliott, Katharine and Chris.

I'm still trying to get over why a country as big as the USA can't find someone like this kid from Australia?

Anthony Callea

Can't they invite him to do a show here?

They probably wouldn't give him a gold ticket.

LOL! Thanks, Damo. I can just about get a tune in my head about any song but I just couldn't get one for that one! I think the real one will be a great song for Ace.

I don't know whether to or at that because you could be right. While Paula would probably be passed out after seeing him, we'd have to listen to Randy say it was just alright for him and Simon would be worrying about it being pitchy.

Seriously though, he's fabulous. What a voice!!

 

[Poohbear123]

Barry is On!

 

[Poohbear123]

Blossiming and a Thourabred according to Simon and Paula!

 

[J.Cooper]

Go Mandisa ! What a great performance!! I would hate to be the next person after her.

 

[Nancy]

One word for Mandisa....WOW!

.....even if she did too much screamy stuff at the end for me.

 

[Sandy22]

I never heard so much praise from Simon! Way to go Mandisa! She deserves it - that was an AMAZING performance!
