Offical American Idol Discussion Thread

[musicalSaranader]

George is back, YAAAAAY!!! He should have been in the top 32 in the first place. Damo I agree with you; I though Amy was off key a little too much for my liking.

 

[Minnie Mare]

I personally didn't think Amy was so wonderful, she was off key and it hurt my ears a bit I loved La Toya and without a doubt I knew she would make it. Jon was OK, but my teenage daughter thought he was cute, so IMO he got the "cute vote". I didn't like Leah at all.

 

[cinmell]

I didn't get to see the show last night but I know Latoya would get on but I'm surprised about Jon . Do they announce the wild card choices next week?

Remember, Monday night is the AI Uncut, Uncensored, Untalented show. It should be funny. I wonder if they will show William Hung and Scat girl again.

 

[JetMom]

I like Amy. In fact, this is the first time the person I voted for made it through. I thought laToya was wonderful, but did not vote for her because she did not need my vote.

I am also glad that George is getting a second chance. I thought he was so good in the auditions.

Now I am keeping my fingers crossed for Katie (jazz girl from group 1) to come back as a wild card.

I am sooo... glad George Huff is back. I can't believe they let him go in the first place, and put through some of the others (the off-key brothers, etc.). I predicted that he would be back, as well as Scooter Girl and Mr. Arrogance. Now if they bring those two back as Wildcards, I'll be three for three, but that's another thread, LOL.
I was also surprised that Jon made it to top three. I kept saying, "Please don't let him make the top two, I couldn't stand to hear him massacre Tiny Dancer again" Although I didn't exactly love Leah, the judges sure seemed to like her. They will definitely bring her back as a wildcard.
Next week should be interesting.

Do they announce the wild card choices next week

They won't announce the Wildcards yet at that point, as they may bring back some of group four. They would have to wait until all the groups were finished performing and then decide which eight to call back.

 

[Robinrs]

Leah will probably be back on the Wild Card especially since all 3 judges liked her. I found it strange that they kept showing her disappointed face on camera.... I didn't like her either. I loved and voted for John, thought he was cute and quirky.

I LOVE Latoya (hate her name thanks to the Jacksons, though!) and Fantasia. Will love seeing them in the top 12.

Glad to hear that George is getting a chance. He was one of my favorites.

Who was George and why was he allowed back in? Was it mentioned last night?

Ryan already announced that William Hung will be there. I doubt Scat Girl (Nicole Tieri) will be there, since this is the bad auditions show.

The fact that Jon went through shows how many people vote for looks over talent. I'll bet Jon got a lot of the female vote.

 

[Kimberle]

Ya'll think John is cute?!?!

He looks like he just stepped out of my late 1970's yearbook!

 

[minniecarousel]

Obviously George is takng the place of Donnie Williams who got arrested for a DUI the other night.

George is a tall young black man with a very deep voice. I thought he was great, and the judges seemed to like his voice, too, but Simon kept saying he looked too old. I don't agree at all, but that's besides the point. In his last performance before the cut, Randy commented how he appreciated George wearing a hat to look younger. As he was walking offstage Randy added, "Be young", and George replied, "I'm young! I'm young!"
They didn't mention anything about either George or Donnie last night, but that seems to be their procedure. They never mentioned the Frenchie or Cory sagas last season, either

I have to laugh, I don't think Jon is cute at all, I think he's pretty dorky.

Scat Girl was the worst of all the auditions in my opinion but she was so funny. Nicole Tieri is actually scooter girl, Scat girl did that awful rendition of Route 66 in the original auditions.

Yeah, my daughter already pointed out to me I confused Scooter Girl with Scat girl. Too many nicknames to remember

I remember George now. I'm glad they asked him back. He had a real good voice and he didn't look any older than Matt.

Leave it to our kids to always point out our mistakes LOL!

[poohbear2]

Hmmm..which one was Donnie? Was he on a lot during the preliminary auditions? I can't wait for the wild card show!! I am wondering who the judges invite back. I am sure Leah will be one of them.

 

[Slacking]

I predict these will be the wildcard performers


Alan Ritchson
Eric Yoder
Jon Peter
Katie
Lisa the Redhead
Leah
Marque
Matt from Group 1
Michael Keown (Mr Ego himself)
Sara Logan
2 from Group 4 - Heather and Redhead John??

Based on what I've heard, the two going through from Group 4 should be pretty obvious when we see the show.

 

[MrsMud]

Slacking:
Alan Ritchson? Is he the model? I can't see them bringing him back. I would replace him with Nicole Tieri as an "Oops, we made a mistake and shouldn't have gotten rid of her in the first place". I agree that they'll bring back Michael Keown, and hopefully he will have gained some humility. I don't think Marque will be back, and I can't say anything about group 4 yet, but otherwise I agree with your predictions, pretty much

Based on what I've heard, the two going through from Group 4 should be pretty obvious when we see the show.

What do you mean, what have you heard? Please tell!

pg. 3??

 

[cinmell]

Did you watch the uncut, uncensored, untalented episode last night? I still think the army girl can sing and William Hung still makes me laugh! Did you see his back up dancers?

 

[elgerber]

Yeah, I still think the army girl can sing too. Scat girl is still awful!!!!!!!!!! William Hung made us laugh too, he is funny, but a cute funny, not an awful funny. Scat girl made me want to cover my ears, she is sooooooo bad.
