American Idol Top 9 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[Cindy B]

According to a tweet from a backstage singer, she stated tonight would "separate the men from the boys". --MJ's comments

That could mean nine million and one things-- from song titles to stage presences.

It could mean the song Separate Lives, a Boyz II Men song, or it could just mean powerful songs versus wimpy songs. It could mean great performance to mediocre performances. It may not even be literally men/boys either--

I always put spoilers in white but this was just something that was floating around before the dress rehersal like Rebel Yell. I guess every rumour has the potential of being true. So we want to put all rumours or guesses in white now? I didn't think we did that before. I know we put spoilers in white, though.

It's never been done before. I see that there is a huge difference between rumors and spoilers. Spoilers are a list (usually on mj's) complete with dress rehearsals notes. Rumors are just that---rumors. Until a performer goes on air, with the song being played, they are all rumors.

Many times the list have changed and the list was moot.

The white has not been done for rumors and I thought yours was a rumor as well.

That would be too much to speculate using white.. that would just become a huge PITA.

Anoop's choice is BORING!!!!! Lil's choice is well....

Here are the comments as well



Allison - “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith - Really good on belty parts, not as good on lower register. Over all–good
Anoop - “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams - He roughed it up per Quentin’s request. Favorite Anoop performance so far.
Adam - “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf - OMG Electrifying, snarling…headbanging…working the stage.
Matt - “To Really Love a Woman” by Bryan Adams - He was OK. Sat at the piano…soulded it up. Seemed a little nervous. Quentin told him to enunciate better
Danny - “Endless Love” by Diana Ross - Danny got contacts! Singing was what you would expect. Chair pimpage from Ryan
Kris - “Falling Slowly” - Really pretty vocal. Did a nice job mixing him with one of the background singers. Quentin told him to play an intrument, but he didn’t do it.
Lil - “The Rose” by Bette Midler - She started nice and soft…then she turned it gospelly and became shouty. Least favorite



Some people were talking about Danny doing that song but no one actually thought he would.

 

[Cindy B]

Danny's song is gag worthy too... If youve seen the movie, it is quite stalkerish... That movie has a very young Tom Cruise in it which encourages the main character to do some bizarre behavior.

 

[troobabiee7]

I LOVE the song Kris is singing Love the song, but HATED the movie... it was so boring!

 

[Mean Queen]

Darn. I was so hoping Anoop would do "It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta" from Office Space. Most of those songs bore me. I really wish people would pick less known songs. I don't think I know Kris', so that could be good.

 

[ShuisFan584]

I only know the first 3 songs (Allison, Anoop and Adam). I like all of those songs and hope they all do well. I'm sure Adam will be amazing as always.

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Hmm.. the song that Anoop is doing is our (DW Lauri and my) first dance song from our wedding. Hope he does it justice!

Danny's song.. Anyone got some crackers to go with the cheese?

I have some crackers and graham crackers in the pantry I think...

 

[DarthKTrava]

WOW!!!

I haven't heard this before. Not my favorite style of music per se, but for anyone who says Adam CAN'T SING (only screech), give a listen...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJYyqzUr6jU&feature=PlayList&p=7E2A4041285C0478&index=0&playnext=1

The last 2 weeks (when he hasn't either screeched or sucked) I have actually LIKED him. He does better when he's not trying to be the next Axl Rose.

 

[DarthKTrava]

Thanks! My sister, my aunts and I are all going to get t-shirts with the "Fight Like A Girl" pink ribbon that say Sue's Team.

Excellent!!!

 

[GoofyforDisney3]

I am a little concerned with Adam's choice, but I've liked him every other week so hopefully he will pull it off.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Wow...Paula looks like she's been bedazzled out the wazoo!

 

[DarthKTrava]

Did Paula snitch her necklace from Motley Crue?

What's with all the accolades on Simon?

 

[chisnpeke]

Why can't Simon just judge all of them. He's the only one I care about.
