American Idol

[gizfish]

Haven't seen any comments about our favorite "muse" in a few weeks. If you saw the show and want to give Jenifer Hudson your support, vote! Here is the toll free number if you missed it. 1-866-436-5706. BTW, I thought her make over looked great! She mentions how proud she is of her weight loss in her profile at the American Idol site (as well as in her intro blurb on the show tonight). I think it is great that besides the experience and exposure from the show, she has had access to stylists that have obviously helped her to start dressing more appropriatley for her new size.

She's awful and has a lousy attitude. If you watched the results show last week, she made faces that clearly indicated she didn't feel she belonged in the bottom three. I'm betting she goes home tonight.

Yeah, a few weeks ago on a previous tape didn't she mention that she needed to get away from "the mouse" or something to that effect? I was really surprised. And last week(?) they pictured a cruise line ship other than Disney when talking about her past. Did she work on other lines as well? I think there are others better than her.

Wasn't her greatest effort this wek, but she was not the worst IMO. I agree with her that she shouldn't have been in the bottom three.

Just my thoughts.

I didn't think she belonged in the bottom three last week. But you need to act and look professinal (sp), because of her reaction last week I have to say I am turned off by her now.

Ruben last year didn't deserve to be in the bottom and he was graceful, as was Tamayra when she was voted off.

After a comment like "needing to get away from 'the mouse'", I suspect DCL declined to give permission for the use of an identifiable image of one of their ships. Plus, it was probably easier for them to just find some stock footage of a generic cruise ship.

She was okay last night, but Simon was right. There are definitely other contestants remaining who are better than her.

I do like the new hairstyle, though.

Love her new look. But I still don't like her voice. If I ever heard her on the radio, I would switch stations. Every week I have a new favorite. First it was LaToya, then last week I loved Diana DeGarmo. Last night I thought Amy (pink hair) stole the show. Wow, what a performance!

 

[***tink386]

I don't think Jennifer did as well last night. Maybe she'll be going home.

 

[jlawall]

I agree, I really liked her hair style but other people impressed me more. This was the first time, I was impressed!

 

[Mjasp]

I don't like Jennifer either. I like my 2 redheads, John and Amy.

Diana was incredible last night, I really believe that the order in which you sing really matters. She sang first last night and was in the bottom 3. Matt's song to Simon tonight was good. Although he is no American Idol, he did have the AI personality.

There are so many good people in it this time, that poor Matt got lost in the shuffle. I wish him the best!!!

Matt was <b><i>not</i></b>, IMO, among the two most qualified contestants to perform several weeks ago when he was voted through to the Round of 12. I was so disgusted that he got voted in ahead of a performer who was much more talented that I stopped watching the show until I read that Jennifer Hudson was in the Wildcard Round. To his credit, Matt got better. And I liked the way he wasn't intimidated by Simon.

 

[Tandyc]

I loved his "love song" to Simon as he left. Way to go out smiling!

 

[Carol36]

I agree! Matt showed such good character! That love song was hilarious!!! I believe that there will be some hard decisions to make over the coming weeks because the remaining contestants are all very talented! That Kimberly Locke had it going on tonight! After that performance, I love the "Eighth World Wonder"!!!

I thought I was the only one to see this as all the notes I saw here were so positive about her. Every time I have watched her she has been making faces. I just don't think she has it. Just my opinion.

I agree about Jennifer.

I was rooting for her until I saw all the facial expressions she made when she as in a bad position - last week when she was in the bottom three, and this week when they held her over for near-last on the couch.

What a pee-poor attitude she has. I no longer care how she does and I'll go back to rooting for Amy Adams.

Incidentally, I don't think that cruise ship they showed had ANY markings on it, though you could tell it wasn't DCL.

I'm betting the fact that it was on FOX had a lot to do with it.

 

[lillygator]

Jennifer's got some weird eye things going.......she bugs them out when she is singing......it drives me nuts!

 

[feiste]

I assumed that the Disney boat was not shown due to it's affiliation with ABC. If Disney owned FOX, then you know we would have seen everything there is to see about the ship by now. No way is Fox going to give free advertisement to the company that owns rival ABC.

Just my opinion.

 

[DutchsMommy]

I actually think Fantasia has a bit of a "diva" attitude, although her talent can back it up, it seems to me she thinks she's pretty darned good.

 

[gottaluvdis]

I was so happy that Amy did well this week - I've been rooting for her all along. LaToya has a real shot at winning the whole thing. I really like George too, but his performance this week wasn't the best. Jennifer's OK, but probably not strong enough to make it into the top 3. Statistically, it looks like a girl will take the title this year.
