American Idol Top 20 Season 9

I'm glad she is gone- not impressed with her. It seems like the talent pool is a little smaller this season.

More like a talent puddle.

Big Mike should do pretty well too. Even if he is more soul than R&B...

There's a DIFFERENCE????

I think he's more Hootie than Luther...

Girl, he doesn't qualify to be Hootie. He can be the Blowfish.

Oh wait.....

Has everyone here watched Jim Cantiello's latest American Idol in 60 seconds: http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/4967...-seconds-goodbye-paige-miles.jhtml#id=1632717 ? These are just so funny. Other than all of the vampire talk, I think he captured everything that we talked about on this thread.

That's a great list. But wondering why they would let them pick from Mariah and Whitney when the judges never like it? Just wondering?

 

[kimmar067]

That's a great list...

...yeah, but she forgot a really IMPORTANT song....

That's a great list. But wondering why they would let them pick from Mariah and Whitney when the judges never like it? Just wondering?

Thought the same thing when I saw Alicia Keys on the list. Why, really, because the judges never really like it when they pick to try to sing her songs.

It is like, "You changed it too much." "You didn't change it enough." "Too young." "Too old." "Not enough confidence." " Too much confidence." "Own the stage." "Stop acting like you've already made it. You haven't."
it is enough to make anyone's head swim.

Then they say, "I bet we're confusing you..." Uh, yeah. Y'all are nuts.

Sometimes I think the judges don't know what they want--which is why America is hurting this season for talent.

This season pretty much stinks.

 

[DizBelle]

1 - I'm a little bummed that Paige is gone. She had a really crappy performance this week but, overall, she is better than some that are left in the top 10
2 - I'm not sure about Joe Jonas or Miley but I do think that Demi would have made it through if she auditioned for American Idol. She does have true talent.

there's a LOT of good songs on there, i'm kind of excited for this.

 

[golfgal]

So, out of that list, who should sing what? I am curious to see what Crystal's "surprise" is on Tuesday.

 

[FINFAN]

I don't know, I think Simon used up his "You sucked the soul right out of it" comment a week early....
I hope Lee chooses Mustang Sally, but I bet Casey wants it too.
Guessing Crystal does Aretha's Natural Woman
Tim oughtta do "Ain't to proud to Beg"
I'd freak if Big Mike came out and sang Barry White
PLEASE don't let DiDi sing "No One' by Alicia Keys...we all know what she does with mono-sylabic words
Katie? Doesn't matter anyway, no one will remember it
Aaron? Stand By Me (subliminal messaging)
Andrew, something a female artisit did and Soibhan...I'm thinking Aretha for her too, as long as she can put a scream in there..I woudl ike to see her do Chain of Fools tho

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

I hope someone does Waterfall or Midnigth Train to Georgia.
I am not a big TLC fan but Waterfalls is one really good song!!!

Midnight Train would be good for AAron or Casey with their twang, and yeah Waterfall is good...now Katie should try something like that...

 

[mandy200587]

I would love to see one of the guys take Umbrella and make that acoustic, because some of the versions I've heard have been cool.
