Offical American Idol Discussion Thread

[musicalSaranader]

Yup, Scat Girl is still bad, but I still like Army Girl. And William Hung...alright, he's great and funny and all that but he's starting to get old. Because he still isn't that great of a singer. And I was actually quite upset when he KILLED Elton John's song last night! Does anyone else agree with me on this one?

 

[gometros]

I don't agree (do I ever? Your sister, mother and I all agree that he may not have a great voice, but at least he stays on key. And quite honestly, a little orthodonture work might help him a little. You got to give the guy credit, he sure is making the most of his 15 minutes of fame.

Scat girl was awful, but the Hawaain girl wan't so bad and she has a great sense of humor about the whole thing. Army girl is real good and I hope she gets a wildcard spot.

I kept hoping that they would tell the Army girl and the Hawaiian girl that they were wild cards, but it didn't happen.

 

[SoonerKate]

Y'all...please, please, please call in and vote for George tonight!!!

Edited to add: 1-888-Idols-06!!!

 

[Lorix2]

Is the Fox channel all scrambly and distorted in your area?? Uggh...on every tv here in the house, it's so frustrating!

 

[musicalSaranader]

Sorry, Lorix, Fox is fine over here.

I'm voting for Jasmine, Suzie, and my Johnny. I thought Lisa was AWFUL. George had a rasp in his voice that I didn't like. I didn't like that whine Heather kept doing. I didn't like the way John P. was anunciating his words. And Tiara, she was OK, but over the top and all over the place. Suzie was great, Jasmine was the best tonight, and as long as my Johnny didn't disappoint me, he gets my vote! I love that Billy Joel song and I think John did a great job of incorporating his oldie style into a more modern hit. And I would like to see how he does with other styles as well.

I voted for Jasmine, George and John Stevens.

Don't anyone listen to SoonerKate, its 1-866, not 1-888

 

[Disney-Kim]

I liked Jasmine (the hawaiian girl) and Suzy.

there were some bad ones tonight.

 

[ShuisFan584]

My favorite tonight was John Stevens. I didn't really like the song that much, but I like his voice and liked him at auditions (and I also have a thing for redheads hehe). The two that the judges seemed to like, Jasmine and George, I didn't think were that good. Jasmine was good, but there were some parts that definitely sounded off. And as soon as George started singing, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and were just like "definitely not." I just wasn't into the voice. Everyone else was just ok, except for Lisa who was horrible. So my vote tonight went to John Stevens.

I liked the way that Jasmine sounded. They have a commercial of her singing in another competition last year that she had won, and sounded very good.
I hope to see the army girl back as the wild card, I think her voice does sound good.

I thought Jasmine sounded really good. I wasn't crazy about George's singing during the first part of the song but he definitely pulled it together and sounded great towards the end. I do like John Stevens but I didn't think he sounded good last night. They showed an old clip of Paula telling John to try something different (not those words) and then last night she told him she missed the brat pack/Dean Martin sound . Well make up your mind Paula! Tiara was not good at all in my opion. Lisa was yelling her song, I couldn't stand it! Isn't she the girl from the pool during the week in Hollywood? What did you think when Simon told Heather she was a pretty girl but ugly when she sings!? It was mean but we couldn't stop laughing. She was ok. Susie was good but I didn't like John Preator.

Lorix2, we have been having the scrambling type problem with Fox for a couple of weeks.

 

[damo]

My vote would be for Jasmine and John. I wasn't too impressed with most. I think Jasmine was probably the best. I really like John and can see him improving a lot. I don't think he can win, but it would be nice to watch him improve.

 

[airhead]

Comcast went out,I missed the whole freekin' show!!!!

 

[Redmic]

Here in Maine we also have the herky jerky Fox connection. Very annoying!

I thought the group last night was extremely weak. Not as bad as week 2, but close.


I have not seen one male singer in the whole competition that blows me away. They are basically average karaoke type singers.
The red head (John?) was a complete joke last night. Go to any high school musical and you'll hear better singing.

Bring back William Hung, at least he's entertaining!

 

[Jeafl]

I like Jasmine a lot, and I thought George started out rough, but pulled it together.

I notice that the judges have a problem deciding what they want. I remember them telling Katie Weber from the first week that she needed to do something different, so she sang a jazz song and they criticized her for doing someting too different. The same thing happened last night with the Dean Martin guy. They tell him he should be more versatile and they say they miss the old "Dean Martin". It seems like the contestants just can't win.

 

[Kirby]

So disappointed in last night's performances. Simon was the best entertainment. I wonder who will get voted through? I'm really looking forward to the wild card show. Curious who will be on it. You never know who the judges will bring back. Just like goat girl last year. Would never have thought Simon would pick her.

 

[Jeafl]

Another thing I wanted to mention, has anyone else noticed a little tension between Ryan and Simon? It seems like they used to rib each other with some good humor, but lately it seems more on the nasty side. At times it's almost uncomfortable to watch. Ryan was really drilling Simon on some of his comments last night. I just don't remmeber much of that in years past.

 

[damo]

The judges should be ashamed of their choices for this year. I say they call back about 8 wild cards!!!!!

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I agree with others who have said the judges just can't seem to make up their minds. They have continually slammed people for changing things that they told them to change. I really feel sorry for these contestants.
