oooo Antonella was just awful! definately the worst of the night! DH and i were cringing!

i agree. she was just bad.


what was the girl's name that Simon made cry?? honestly, he didn't even say anything THAT mean to her!

and i loved his comments about "i didn't vote Jennifer Hudson off the show, America did"

I just checked out DialIdol. They have Leslie, STEPHANIE, and Gina in the bottom 3. If Stephanie gets voted off I will SCREAM! She did a great job and does not deserve to be in the bottom 3. Antonella is in the top 3

For the guys, they have Chris Richardson, Nick, and Brandon in the bottom 3. And Sanjaya is in the top two! How in the world is Chris Richardson in the bottom 3? I really hope this site is WRONG!!!!

Here's my list, best to worst!
1. Melinda!!!
2. Lakisha
3. Jordin
4. Sabrina
5. Leslie
6. Stephanie
7. Gina
8. Alaina
9. Haley
10. ANTONELLA!

Is it just me or was the whole dedication thing the dumbest theme they could have done this week? I think if the singers were going to do dedications, it should be during the latter part of the season when it means something. And what's with Alana dedicating "Not Ready To Make Nice" to her mom? On the video, she talks about how close they are and then breaks into this song? Not to mention the fact that she butchered a great song.

Speaking of butchering. I can't wait until the top 12, because I am really getting tired of these no-talent hacks butchering Whitney and Celine songs. For the past 5 years, the judges have told these people not to do songs by these artists unless they can make us forget who originally sang them. The girl who did "All The Man I Need" was OK. The one who did "Queen of the Night" was awful.

I don't care to remember names unless the contestants are memorable, Like Lekeisha and Melinda. But "Antonever" (as in ain't never gonna win this thing) destroyed Celine's song.

I vote for Alana and Antonella to get booted this week. This should be a no-brainer. On the guys side, they should just kick Sanjaya off, bring him back and then kick him off again. Trying to look like the white Michael Jackson? If I'm Randy, I'm saying "Dude what were you thinking? I'm just wondering how many little boys sleep in his bed. (OK, that was too much, but I just can't delete it.)

Let's face it. Most of the guys suck this year. The one who sounds like Timberlake is the best of the bunch. The Jack Osbourne lookalike with the hot wife is also good, but between you and me, if you look like an oddball (i.e.Taylor), you have to have an amazing voice (i.e.....Taylor).

Once again, I had to work tonight, so I apologize if my thoughts are repeating anyone else's 'cause I haven't had time to read through the whole thread yet.

Gina Glockson - Alone - I wanna like Gina Glockson when she sings, but I don't for some reason. I can't quite put my finger on why. I like her personality, but she's yet to impress.

Alaina Alexander - Not Ready to Make Nice - While dolphindan might go for Antonella, I'll take Alaina...when it comes to her voice, though...she's just okay. I didn't think she was that bad, and I'd love for her to stick around another week, I didn't think she was that good either.

LaKisha Jones - Midnight Train to Georgia - Hate this song, but LaKisha is good. She definitely perks up onstage personality-wise and she can sing. Quite different from last week.

Melinda Doolittle - My Funny Valentine - Love me some Melinda! Loved what she did with that song. Love that she is shocked by good comments. I actually agree with Paula that I love what she did in changing the song around. Yep...still my #1 pick by a long shot!

Antonella Barba - Because You Loved Me - I'll pull a Paula on this one...she looked nice...

Jordin Sparks - Reflection - I like Jordin, but I wasn't a fan of this performance...not a fan of this song in general (I think the song's kinda whiny, if that makes sense). I wasn't impressed with her this week, but I hope she sticks around.

Stephanie Edwards - Dangerously in Love - I don't like Beyonce, but I think this song choice may hurt her. While it kinda sounded like she wasn't with the music, I think that's the way the song goes. I think Stephanie can sing, but I really could see her as a Beyonce retread and that doesn't do a thing for me.

Leslie Hunt - Feeling Good - Her personality is so spunky, but the song kinda fell apart at the end for me and I'm a jazz fan. Like that she's so carefree, though.

Haley Scarnato - Queen of the Night - Idol 1991 here. Once again, I wanna like Haley, but she's not doing anything to let me like her. This song was just plain silly, for lack of a better word.

Sabrina Sloan - All the Man That I Need - Wasn't super impressed. Not sure I like her voice yet, though.

My favorites of the night
Melinda Doolitte - To me, it's her competition to lose
Lakisha Jones

My least favorites of the night
Antonella Barba
Haley Scarnato

Who I think is going home
Haley Scarnato
Leslie Hunt
Although in all honesty, I think it could just as easily be Alaina or Stephanie Edwards (I see that some thought she was ahead of the music, but I think in terms of the song, she was right on...it's just a weird song...plus, the judges thought she was good, so people might not feel they "need" to vote for her).

Overall, none of the girls (with the exception of Melinda) impressed me tonight.

 

[Glendamax]

But "Antonever" (as in ain't never gonna win this thing) destroyed Celine's song.

Now THIS is funny!
But brace yourself, I still think she (and Sanjaya) will avoid elimination this week . . .

DolphinDan - As for the "voting off your pics" thing...Can I vote to save the Evangeline Lilly picture?

That is a nice picture isnt it.....

 

[shortbun]

I didnt think she was the worst tonight I thought 3 or 4 did worse tonight that Antonella....JMHO

Oh Man! I think SOMETHING is clouding our judgement, what could it be??? She was the worst, painful and embarrassing! Her first audtion was better. She just can't handle the big stage. Buh bye!

I will admit she has not done very well but there were a couple that were worse last night in my opinion....the Beyonce wanna be was horrible, you couldnt even understand her and the song was one big sentence it was all over the place....I thought Gina who I really like did a terrible job with her song and the one girl not Sabrina that did the Whitney song was bad....JMHO....

I still maintain she needs to have the guts on sstage that she had taking those pictures and she will be fine....will it happen...probably not....this is national tv not a small party where she is probably already popular with all her friends

She will be around for a couple more weeks but she cannot compete vocally with Melind, Lakisha, Chris S or Sundance or Brandon if he makes it through

 

[JunieJay]

Eh. With the exception of Melinda, Sabrina, Lakeesha and Stephanie, the girls do nothing for me. My favorite is Lakeesha.

So far this season of AI is not wowing me. I never thought it could compare to last year, where there were 3 or 4 or 5 contestants that just knocked mu socks off week after week - this year I'm lucky if I can find 1.

 

[carissanboys]

"You were off-key"? Pitchy...PITCHY?!? The singer is OFF-KEY and is inventing some new keys never before heard by man!

Thank you! I am sooooo tired of hearing the word pitchy.

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Let's take up a collection.

We need to bribe Ryan, Randy, Simon, or someone to say to Antonella, after she's told she's safe tonight "How does it feel knowing you're only still here because of the VFTW crowd?"

If Gina goes home tonight, I'll be disappointed. Haley and Leslie are forgettable -- when they came on last night, I thought to myself "oh, yeah they're still there."

 

[dolphindan1]

Thank you! I am sooooo tired of hearing the word pitchy.

Me too.....I am really just sick of Paula and Randy....Paula is just too nice to these people without offereing anything to help them...oh you look nice, oh I love you, oh I need more vodka nd pain pills.....SHUT UP PAULA.....and Randy I dont think Randy is a real person....I think he is a audioanomatronic(sp) that is on a vocal loop...he says the same stuff over and over....i wanna take a gun to my head when him and Paula speak....

 

[carissanboys]

what was the girl's name that Simon made cry?? honestly, he didn't even say anything THAT mean to her!

That was Haley. I think the reason she was so upset was that she tried to pick a song that would show more of her personality and that she wasn't just a "caberet" type singer. She probably just felt really deflated because she tried so hard. I don't think it was what Simon said in particular that made her cry, but more the fact that none of the judges really loved what she did.

What makes her different form any other VFTW candidate.....it happens every year and every week and until AI does something with the voting system it will continue to happen....

The thing that bothers me about it is that good singers like Brandon, probably tonight, will be gone but I dont blame VFTW I blame the voting system.....of course I dont understand the theory of VFTW except to be a bunch of wisea$$'s....

I think its hard on these people too when they dedicate the song to someone special to them and then told they were not good....I think they would feel like they let that person down....I know I would....JMHO
