American Idol Season 9

[mandy200587]

Shazam is one of my favorite iPhone apps!

I haven't tried that app yet. I love Yelp when I'm traveling.

Hmm I really didn't think it was as bad as everyone else thought it was.

I agree. I didn't think it was great but certainly not awful.

Hello is also still one of my ringtones, too!

Whereas mine are "The Imperial March" (for friends-goes with the Darth Vader wallpaper) and Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" for the rest.

why aren't the judges calling out the contestants on "playing it safe" anymore? do you think they've just given up? because Aaron singing "Let It Be" isn't surprising at all, i knew he'd pick it. and he doesn't do anything "different" with any of the songs he sings, either.

They gave up?

 

[Mean Queen]

wasn't there a movie called that?? it had Shaq in it....

Yes. And it was nowhere near as good as the app. Or even as good as Aaron's performance.

 

[Pig Pen]

He sounded weak and wavering to me. I didn't like it at all.

 

[DarthKTrava]

How the frip can you take an OLD song and make it "young and relevant"????

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Ack! I can't bring myself to watch tonight b/c of the theme. :insert gag face: The only thing worse than the Beatles is listening to people on Idol butchering the songs even worse. Eek!

i think the issue is, like Kara said(and i HATE that i agree with her) every week he sounds the same, he's not growing or anything. it wasn't "surprising" that he choose that song. it's very slow and boring....just like every other song he sings.

OK..I'll agree with that...but how much do you want to bet that if next week he does something faster they will tell him he should have stuck to a song that is more "him" and showing who he is as an artist?


And if I hear one more time how they want them to make the song young (or whatever dumb terminology they use) you might hear me scream....if you want them to sing "today's music" then don't pick themes where the songs are from the 60's and 70's.....pick something from TODAY...isn't that a novel idea?

I agree. It did seem to go on forever but it wasn't horrid.

Lee and Crystal are doing pretty decent songs. Isn't that enough to tune in and join in the fun?

 

[Mean Queen]

Now we will hear "Let it be" a million times. Sung poorly.

 

[Nancy]

Now we will hear Let It Be.

 

[StephyDee]

I used to be able to play this song on piano. It was nice to play. Made me feel good inside afterwards.

thank god i'm not the only non-Beatles fan around here lol. i mean i don't HATE them but i've only ever heard 2 songs that i liked. and well....two COVERS of other songs that i enjoyed

OK..I'll agree with that...but how much do you want to bet that if next week he does something faster they will tell him he should have stuck to a song that is more "him" and showing who he is as an artist?

yeah but to be fair, they allow them to choose current songs with like "Billboard Hot 100/Top 10" and they STILL pick old songs.

 

[bouldertcr]

Katie sounds good tonight. Very simple arrangement that really showcases her voice. Nice job.

 

[Robinrs]

Now we will hear Let It Be.

Or at least the 80s where the songs aren't as "doctored" as they are now.... Or let them sing some Pearl Jam...(something completely different).

 

[Cat0727]

I think her voice sounds nice tonight, but this song is being sung with no emotion whatsoever.

 

[sms]

I think she is doing pretty good!
