American Idol Season 6: The Official Thread

[KristinBelle]

Blake is my favorite, he seemed so at ease and relaxed on stage and I really loved his voice.

 

[BelleMcNally]

see, i wasn't shocked that Paul left. first of all, he didn't wear shoes..... i don't like feet. feet scare me. so seeing that just disgusted me. and second of all i couldn't understand a durn(yes, i said durn!) word he was singing! he kind of mumbled everything.

Sundace better go within the next week or two. he's just not good. i think, what happened, is he was great at singing the one song that he sang during the auditions, but he's not really that great of a singer at all. i still don't get how he got thru from Hollywood.

Sanjaya, i like him, but man......don't let your sister pick the songs, honestly. let someone else do it.

and i'm still annoyed by Randy saying "you can't sing a song from the great Stevie Wonder and expect to do good" or whatever crap he sputtered out, considering last season they had a whole night dedicated to Stevie Wonder!!! seriously.....Randy.......just.........*smacks him* there, now i feel better.

Did it seem to anyone else like he was crying whenever someone was voted off? I realize that he's a "sensitive guy"...but I can't figure out whether I find him crying for EVERY SINGLE PERSON sweet or disturbing...

I know I'll probably take heat for this, but I find this kid disturbing as a whole. Everything about him gives me the oogies. He reminds me a bit too much of Michael Jackson.

 

[Virgo10]

Did you go?????

LOVE HIM

Unfortunately, no. It would be a bit of a hike for me that late in the evening. Add on to that, I still haven't driven to Tampa. Long drives don't work well for my back.

I'm not a fan either. He may be a nice kid - but he has absolutely no chance of winning this competition. He is boring....

I was SOOO impressed by him, his delivery was a smooth as silk. I love his confidence, it's attractive.

 

[ckay87]

The minute I saw that he was going to be on I thought "we've got to send a paramedic to ckay's house...."

I'll be okay

He is actually a very intelligent, well-spoken, talented guy with a REAL knack for the music business. Is he supposed to be a guest judge (I purposely missed last night)? I think he will be one of those judges with a lot to offer.

me too!!

and what did ya'll think of Chris Sligh's explanation in regards to back talking to Simon?

 

[TLHB70]

I think he was just trying to "make nice." I think he was afraid that he may have made a mistake in talking back and he was trying to fix that mistake.
I think he meant what he said on Tuesday night but regretted doing it after the time passed.

As i said before...the whole 70's, "Donny Osmond Bubble-gum Pop" look and sound.

 

[FINFAN]

Gina will bring some rock....she lives in my town (Naperville). was in a chick band called "Cat Fight"....dates/dated? a science teacher at the H.S. The "dog-walker" lives in Chicagoland too...(St. Charles) has lived w/Lupus...so actually loves to be able to have the energy for her "career"
I have to say, the girls out talent the guys...no contest...but I do like Blake..he's got the "it" factor.

[Jennasis]

I fast forwarded through all but the eliminations...what did Chris S say to Simon??

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

The "dog-walker" lives in Chicagoland too...(St. Charles

I didn't know this! i'm from Geneva and my parents still live there

 

[Figment22]

BTW, the EVER growing group of numbnuts supporting Antonella call themselves the FANTONELLAS... I will never understand that type of mentality.

Fantonellas!

Horriblellas would be more like it!

I'm not surprised at tonight's results. I am surprised that VFTW seems to have had an impact on the results.

I actually think that VFTW has more of an impact in the very early rounds when many people don't vote at all. If you happened to look at the Dialidol results before the results show aired, most of the contestants were all lumped together. On the girls' side, there were actually 9 girls who were predicted to be voted off (#3-#12), that's how close the voting totals were. So, if you throw in a big block of votes from VFTW for any one of the contestants at this stage, it's going to have a big impact. I think their impact wanes as the season goes on and people really begin to vote heavily for their favorite.

While I do think that there were worse singers who could have left last night, I really feel that those four needed to go as well. Really, were any one of the one voted off last night a huge loss? Give it time, the others will eventually get the boot. Antonella and Sundance might be around a bit longer than necessary, but that's only because of VFTW and men who vote for Antonella because of her looks and nasty photos. I still don't think either of them have a shot at being our next Idol.

Honestly, I think both Sundance and Antonella will make it to the top 12 because of the reason I stated above. (They're the VFTW picks.) In truth, I haven't given up on Sundance as of yet, but he's GOT to improve his song selection. Nights in White Satin was horrid!

he is creepy. Michael Jackson creepy. I am hoping he ain't around long, I don't want to see the crying anymore.

I genuinely think that Chris likes Simon and I believe him when he says he has nothing but respect for him. Chris won't take himself too seriously. Obviously, he wants to win the show and/or stay on the show for as long as he can for the exposure factor, but I think he realizes that the show is ripe for criticism. Seriously, folks, it's not the "best" produced reality show out there (they promote some contestants over others, the banter between the judges and Ryan seems forced)...there are reasons to make fun of the show. And I think Chris sees that. He understands the importance of the show, but he also realizes that he needs to have fun with it.

Anyway...as for last night. Had to work so I just finished watching the tape. While I would've liked to have seen Nicole actually sing a song that I could understand, I am quite happy to have Alaina around for another week. I think she got bashed too hard for her performance the other night...plus, I think she's the best looking girl there .

Overall, though, no disappointments in last night. Those who left should've. Now...if only we didn't have to put up with Sundance. I know this guy's gonna make it to the Top 12...ugh.

Oh yes, I agree with you. I think it is his personality. He is funny, has fun, makes jokes. I think he meant to say it Tuesday night, it wasn't something said that got misunderstood, not an accident. I think he was making a sarcastic joke but then worried later about the consequences. I think he made a point of making up so that he wouldn't receive backlash.

Hi.

I hate for my first post to be the lone dissenter here, but I have to say, I feel so sorry for Antonella. The pictures of her on the internet are terrible. What kind of friends/boyfriend would do that to someone? And the trash that is being said about her....so many people ripping her to shreds and calling her ugly and a horse face. I think her "friends" wanted to hurt her, and I'm sure they did now.

I think it's a shame. I don't see what she's done to deserve all this. I didn't think she came off as arrogant on the show ever. Her friend did, but not her. Honestly, I think her beauty was a big mark against her before she even opened her mouth due to jealousy. (not this board)

I'm just sad that people can be so vicious to a 20 year old girl that they don't know. And I feel sorry her parents have to witness it. They must feel horrible.

And yes, she did a bad job, but I don't think the kind of backlash she is getting is necessary.

No heat from me because ITA!

Hi and welcome, mirror mirror.

I do understand how you feel. I think she's a stupid young girl, heck I was one myself, and that she made some bad choices. But I disagree with the friend/boyfriends at fault, she posed for all of those pictures. I grew up in the theatre around lots of "future wannabes" in NY and they were aware even in their teens not to be caught in compromising positions due to the backlash.

My cousin is a hairdresser to some of the biggest stars in music. She has lots of client wannabes that they nurture and train ahead of time about the kind of jobs to take, pictures to take, etc.

Obviously no one told Antonella.

It seems that AI is keeping her despite the fact that they thru several others out for similar misjudgments. I fault AI totally for her infamity, they put her up against another much more talented girl and picked her. This was deliberate. They also started the soap opera between her friend, Amanda and Baylie Brown. You would not BELIEVE how many people still hold that against her.

Regardless, if she came to the stage sounding like a star we wouldn't be having this conversation!

As for "Pretty Prejudice", LOTS of ladies on AI were drop dead beautiful and none were put down for it. Her problem was her lack of talent and the fact that 10s of thousands of people SHOULD have been in her place.

I think her fans will keep her afloat for weeks, we always have ONE each season. You can't say it won't help the ratings, though. AI is no fool...
