Official American Idol Season 4 Thread

[aengus]

Jessica-- found it very boring

Anwar-- an off night. I am typically a fan but tonight just didnt sound right

Mykalah-- I hate her. yeah I know she is 17 and hate is a strong word. I HATE HER. You know when you see people dress like that typically the conversation goes, 'why does so and so dress like that' answer: ' because she can'. Well.... She can't! did I mention I HATE HER?

Constantine-- tonight, I was impressed. And I am a full believer that the past 3 weeks he only got by because all you girlies dig him. Tonight, excellent, I enjoyed the performance, and deserves another week.

Lindsay-- awful... just awful!

Nadia-- not impressed tonight, I am a fan however, just not tonight.

Bo-- Very good, loved it. The final 3 will be Bo, Anwar, and Mario... oops... sorry Mario.

Vonzell-- Just don't feel entertained by her. Good voice, but just good.

Scott-- impressed me tonight, sounded great. On a night that was really boring I felt he was in the top 3 tonight along with the rockers.

Anthony -- Technically flawless, but boring. He really needs a personality.

Carrie-- Originally she was my favorite for the women. She just seems to have lost that original nice farm girl image. She now comes across as stuckup and just doesnt sound as good as when it all began. Week by week I have found her less likeable until eventually she turns into Mykalah (who'm I HATE).

Nikko-- WOW that was bad. I was excited that he was back in, but after that performance it might be just in time to get the boot again.

Overall, I thought it was the 'Rockers' night tonight, and definitely a weak night of performances as a whole for the top 12.

Who should go? whats her name.... that girl I HATE!
who will go - lindsey or nikko

Unfortunately I think drunk college people will keep Mykalah around for a while as a goof for their frat initiations.

OK, well I will give you my prediction on who will win, based on my theory that it is fixed. Since it was a white woman, black man, black woman in the years past, they will pick a white man. And I believe it will be Bo or Constantine, because the producers will want to bring something 'different' to American Idol this time around. We will see.

Bo is definitely one of the favorites. I would not be impressed with your prediction since he has to be the odds on favorite.

If Constantine were to win, then maybe I would think your claim has merit.

I liked Bo and Anwar this time and Lindsey did a lot better. I don't know, for some reason I just don't like Lindsey's style of singing. Bo is just so darn cute, geesh maybe he'll win so we can look at him on TV a lot!

Vonzell and Scott did pretty well. Nadia and Jessica really have good voices.

I thought that it was kind of weird when that guy picked the Jackson song. All of the controversy going on right now can't be too good for getting the popular vote.

I have no idea who will be booted off. Maybe the last guy that I mentioned.

That was Nikko, the one that was just brought back in place of Mario,
I actually thought the song was fitting for his situation....I want you back...lol

does anyone know what the theme will be for next week??

 

[Dodie]

does anyone know what the theme will be for next week??

They have indicated that they will NOT be publicizing the themes in advance this year.

 

[macraven]

thanx..........



one poster here did get the theme correct for last nights show in advance
she had said she heard it was to be a 60's night.
that is what made me think that the theme is known in advance to the viewers.

I think that was due to the fact that last night's show was taped on Monday. They taped it to make sure that it fit into the hour format. As a result the theme "leaked" out.

Well it seems like everyone wants someone to blame if Mikalah doesn't get voted off tonight. If all of you want to blame it on me, it doesn't matter, because I voted for her and I'm not afraid to say it.

As far as last night goes, I don't think there were many great performances. And I was surprised at how many of the performances I really liked, that the judges didn't, or the ones that I thought were really bad and the judges loved. One of them was Nikko. I know he was trying to send some subliminal message by his lyrics "oh baby just give me one more chance" or however it goes. Sorry babe, you were already given one more chance and you're just bad. I think Simon was the only judge listening to him because he said he was horrible. IMO, it would be totally unfair if he wasn't the one leaving tonight, because everyone else actually got voted through to the top 12 the fair way.

I was very happy with Constantine last night. He hasn't had very good performances recently but last night he did really well. And my family was shocked at the comments Anthony got. My dad, my mom and I all agreed after he was done that he was the best so far, and all the judges thought he was bad!

And I know a lot of people don't like Lindsey and Mikalah, but I like their voices and I hope they stick around to at least make it to the top 10, so I can see them in concert.

There are a lot of people that I like, so I had to vote for 6 of them last night. I voted for Mikalah, Constantine, Lindsey, Anthony, Bo and Carrie, with the majority of the votes going to Anthony.

My picks for the bottom 3 would be Vonzell, Scott and Nikko, with Nikko definitely going home tonight. Do I think any of them will be in the bottom 3? No (well maybe at least one of them), but I can wish. All I can say is that I will be really really mad if Nikko isn't even in the bottom 3, because he shouldn't even be there.

 

[Kirby]

My favorite is Scott. Maybe he doesn't have stage presence but I love his voice. And his appearance is improving so maybe his stage presence will come also. I hope he is able to stick around for a long time!

My other favorites from last night (in no certain order): Bo, Nadia, Vonzell and Constantine.

Anwar's not listed because I haven't liked his last couple of performances. I believe it was Randy that said that he needs to step it up and show off, in so many words. I'd like to see him do that. I haven't been impressed with what he's done since the Hollywood tryouts.

 

[gometros]

Constantine had a slightly rocky start with "You Make Me So Very Happy", but he pulled himself up and had a terrific finish.

Being a big fan of Blood, Sweat & Tears, it was great to hear not one, but two songs of theirs, although Constantine's version sounded like DOnny Osmond doing David Clayton Thomas.

It's funny though, I pulled out my CD to check something and never realized before that Randy Brecker of The Brecker Brothers played with the band.

 

[eeyore0062]

I was thinking the same thing about BO, I even said to my DH, why did he bring that entire stand with him?
He said maybe it is a rocker thing...lol

About Scott, he is one of my favorites....I was wondering last night if his stage presence is because of his lack of self confidence maybe partly because how his father treats him? (just my thoughts)

HOW DOES his father treat him? Haven't heard this juicy tidbit... please elaborate!

 

[Liz]

Hmmm, if I remember correctly his father told him he'd never amount to anything.

 

[eeyore0062]

I'm in the minority with you then. Anwar is certainly the most talented. Whether he uses his talent to his advantage is anyone's guess, but he's my pick for the favorite to win too.

Count me in on being an Anwar fan! Regardless of the official outcome, he will always be MY American Idol!

Next fave is Nadia, then Constantine, Jessica and Vonzell.

Bo is too "one note" for me.... he always sounds the same and does basically the same performance.

Carrie is too "country-fied" and can't seem to break away from doing everything that way... she also slides into her notes, instead of hitting them straight on... that is a HUGE turn off for me. She also lacks personality.... kind of like butter on white bread.

His dad told him auditioning was a waste of time because he'd never make it and that he'd never amount to anything as someone else said. I'm pulling for him just for that reason. Also, I think he does have a great talent and I like him.

Wow, what a ROTTEN thing to say to your own kid. I definitely want Scott to make it into the top 10 so he can be on the album.... that will show his father.

Did you notice that he didn't have anyone there supporting him? How sad!

Yup you are right, I never forgot that from the audition, and I think when he was picked as one of the final group of guys I think it was Simon that said something to him like, I bet your father is eating his words now....

Also, when they showed the audience after he sang, I didn't see the caption Scott's friends and family just as another poster mentioned, I thought maybe I missed it but I don't remember seeing it.....
I wonder if his father is there now....

This year's album will probably be a top 12 album. So he probabaly is already good for that.

 

[ValerieK]

I hope Scott makes it pretty far. I think he has a great voice, too bad his parents aren't more supportive.

Last night I thought Bo, Constantine and Nadia were great.

I like Nikko and thought he sounded ok, but it just creeps me out when they sing Micheal Jackson songs.

I can't believe it is so early in this competition and we already have 103 pages on this thread...LOL
