Offical American Idol Discussion Thread

Well, they picked the RIGHT ONE to lead off tonight --

LATOYA LONDON RULES!

I knew from the first time I heard her, she'd be IT!

Even Simon said AWESOME, even though he didn't know what she meant by saying he was the "BOMB"...

GO LATOYA!!!

 

[musicalSaranader]

Ok everyone, I'm voting for LaToya! She was by far the best tonight! But since I like my Johnny so much, I'll throw in one for him, too. Therefore, and extra one for LaToya.

I think Leah will be voted off.

I think Camille will be voted off. I thought most of them did a very good job. Camille and Leah would be my bottom two.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

I agree, Leah and Camillle were kinda boring tonight.

My favorite was Jasmine and Diana. I love LaToya too. They are my favorites. I expected more out of Amy, I really like her personality.

EXACTLY my feelings -- Camille and Leah were HORRIBLE!

LaToya, George and Jennifer were the best.

Lot's of good performances tonight. My personal favorites are George and Diana. LaToya, Jennifer (and even Fantasia) were also great, and Jasmine. The pen salesman had such great potential tonight with Drift Away (and I hated his Elvis last week), but his dancing really threw off what could have been a great performance. I'd love to hear him sing the chorus of that song again without the dancing.

I agree; I think because of the dancing it threw off his breathing, so if he would cut down on the dancing, he could sound ten times better.

 

[Oh Kay!]

I would like to hear JPL sing a John Denver song. Can't explain why. Superficial resemblance, maybe?

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

yep, I agree with the 2 previous posts about the pen man


***edited, that is agree with Erika and Musical S.

 

[beattyfamily]

My favorites were Jasmine and Diana I guess. I also enjoyed Jon Peter and John (red head) even though I know they probably shouldn't win.

I don't care for George, LaToya, Fantasia, Matthew, Leah or Amy. I know others love them but they do nothing for me just as Ruben did nothing for me. I wouldn't buy any of their CDs.

Jennifer and Camile are alright.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

I have a question, this is my first season watching AI. How many (if any at all) will be eliminated after tonight's show?

How do they work that every week? Thanks.

 

[damo]

They select the bottom three and then just one is eliminated.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

thank you damo, I was hoping it was just one at a time.

I can't stand Fantasia! Her attitude is out of control already, I can't imagine how she would be *if* she makes it far. I'd love to see her go tomottow just to see the look on her face.

I really enjoyed Jasmine and Diana was good too. I love Pen boy for his personality and I think he has some potential voice wise.

 

[Tess]

Nearly everyone performed well tonight--some were outstanding, while others weren't of the same caliber.

We really enjoyed LaToya, Jennifer, Jon Peter, John Stevens, George, Jasmine and Fantasia; no particular order.

I think we will be saying sayonara to Leah, although Camille is a close second. There's just something about Matthew that rubs me the wrong way, too.

 

[Robinrs]

Great show! I really enjoyed JPL, Fantasia, Latoya, George and Jasmine.

I think Leah should've "packed her bags" LONG ago.... I think she's an insult to the ones who didn't make it.

Most of the girls got serious makeovers already. Diana and Leah looked totally different. Jennifer reminds me of Aretha, she has a style that she really thinks is good! UGH! I thinks she's wearing a wig and they need to throw it away and find another one. Her look is so distracting, she needs for people to concentrate on the voice.

JPL reminds me of Elton John. He has the same short chunky stature and this voice comes out of it. I agree that the dancing is fun but he shouldn't let it disrupt his singing. And wasn't his Dad a hoot!

I couldn't get thru all night. The phones were crazy! I think there will be lots of votes to tabulate!

I couldn't agree with you more! My absolute least favorite is Fantasia. I don't like the sound of her voice at all or the way she bounces when she sings. However, everyone seems to love her .

I thought Latoya was great as was Jasmine! I think either Camille or Leah will go tonight and I wasn't crazy about JPL, Jennifer Hudson or John Stevens. In my opinion, Leah looked the best she's looked since AI has started. Amy was good but I'm not a huge fan of hers. I think George had his best performance this far last night although I don't think he'll win. I thought Mat was better last night than in the past but I don't see him winning either. I thought Diana sounded great.

I guess I'll throw in my prediction. Matthew, Leah and Camille in bottom three; Camille goes home. I don't think those three should even have made it this far, they should have been replaced by Lisa Leuscher, Scooter Girl and Mr. Arrogant
My favorites were Jasmine, Fantasia, LaToya and George. I also liked Jennifer, Diana, JPL, John and Amy. I agree that this is the best top twelve (or at least top 8) they have had. So much talent! Does anyone else think they should do the voting differently? I mean, when there are twelve performers and 8 or 9 of them are great, which one do you pick? If you try to vote for all of your favorites you will spend all night trying to get through on the phone. It would be much easier to vote for the one who should leave. JMHO.

I think Leah will be gone tonight. I like Matthew and George. I think Diana and Jasmine will go a long way. I don't like Fantasia..she just doesn't do it for me. JLP...my husband said he must be the comic relieve for the show, did you see all the funny faces he was making at the very end when Ryan was talking? But I like him! John S. has to pick it up a little bit..he seems stuck in that laid back Perry Como type of singing...hew has got to show the judges what he can do. I missed LaToya's performance last night, but I thought one of Simons later comments to George was telling. He told George "that unlike Latoya you don't know what a good singer you are." Does that mean he thinks LaToya is a little stuck on herself as a singer, or was that a compliment for her?

I can't believe Randy didn't know what Simon was talking about when he said red head John was a nice change from what they had this year. Of course he meant Gospel and soul singers. They are all wonderful, but John is different and they need different to break it up a bit.

My prediction is Leah will be gone this week, followed by Camille and then John peter. I believe Jasmine will win with Fantasia in 2nd place.
