Official American Idol Season 4 Thread

[Cookie55]

So here is how I see the Scott situation...For those of you who proclaim that he should be given a second chance to straighten his life out and that those "who are without sin shall cast the first stone" I say ok but I might add that although I am far from without sin I also have never done anything that has brought the police to my door.

That being said my complaint with Scott is that he is using his downtrodden past as a way to garner votes. He is no fool, he realizes that a large percentage of his votes are from those who "pity" him and want to "help" him get back on the right track. Therefore EVERY time he gets a chance to speak now he plays the pity card. From introducing his song on Tuesday to his long-winded speech last night, this is getting out of control.

Everyone derserves a second chance BUT when you decide to use your past as an advantage against your fellow contestants you cross the line. That is why I think he should be sent packing as soon as possible. Without playing the sympathy card he would have been gone long before this. Scott knows it and so should you.

No true guesses, but I bet they aren't doing a "Spotlight on broadway" or "showtunes" anytime soon.

Hey disco, TV theme songs, fire theme and one hit wonders were talked about a while ago.

One hit wonders would be fun.

One hit wonders would be fun.

i would pay to hear someone do a-ha's "take on me."

That would be nice. Who can hit the high note at the end?

I can see Constantine or even Anwar attempting it.

 

[Cindy B]

One hit wonders I'd like to hear:

867-5309

Jessies Girl (ok, not technically a one hit wonder, but could be good)

Safety Dance

Our House

The Family Ties song by Billy Vera (what is the name of that song?)

Anything by the Alarm


For Female singers:

Nadia would do a kick butt version of Tracy Chapmans Fast Car.

I want Candy

Kids in America

Please..no disco! I grewp with disco...that was my bar hopping days...but I can't see any of these guys doing it any justice.

Scott and the Bee Gees...

 

[Jennasis]

I say ROCK-N-ROLL night!!

AC/DC, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Faith No More, Quiet Riot, Poison. That would be awesome!

I would have mixed feelings. 70's Disco is my favorite genre of music. Ah, WTH, let them give it a shot!

Can you just see Constantine doing Kung Foo Fighting?

Well, KFF isn't exactly disco, but close enough!

 

[Cindy B]

I say ROCK-N-ROLL night!!

AC/DC, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Faith No More, Quiet Riot, Poison. That would be awesome!

To further the rock theme, maybe classic rock night with a particular artist like:

Led Zepplin
Rolling Stones
Aerosmith

or something like that.

 

[Cindy B]

Maybe they can tie in with the Rock n Roll hall of fame inductees.

Hey U2 is on there, so that wouldn't be so bad.

 

[Nancy]

Bo singing "Shake Your Booty" (KC and the Subshine Band)

 

[Cindy B]

Bo singing "Shake Your Booty" (KC and the Subshine Band)

That would be bad!

Worse would be Superfreak or Brick House

I'm voting for the voice. That IS what this competition is about

I have to disagree with this statement. You are not just voting for their voice, you are voting for a package. Of course the voice is very important but IMO they do have to have "the package" too.

Now I have no opinion on the Scott "incident. If this had not been omitted to the producers before the show started I am sure that he would not be on the show today.

I was a little surprised with the bottom three, except for Scott who I thought would be voted out last night, because of this incident. I thought Anthony would be in the bottom three, even though I picked him as top 2 before the show start, I just don't feel his personality. I had no third pick for the bottom 3. I did not except Nikko or Vonzell to be bottom three.

Exactly.

 

[totalia]

I swear, if they do disco, I'm turning the tv off.

 

[ChrisnSteph]

I'd like to see an a capella night. No music, no background vocals, just a microphone. Or maybe even acoustic - Bo did that one night and it was great. If not, well, I'd settle for songs from your favorite sitcoms!

"Here are last week's voting percentages of mainland USA (from another site so I can't say for sure if they are true, although they are close to what we saw last night)

CARRIE 40.2%
CONSTANTINE 21.2%
ANWAR 9.7%
NADIA 7.7%
ANTHONY 5.1%
BO 4.2%
VONZELL 4.1%
NIKKO 3.9%
SCOTT 3.8% "



Just wanted to comment on the rumoured "voting statistics". Speaking strictly from a statistics angle, it is highly unlikely that, in a field of 9 contestants, ANYONE would garner over 40% of the votes. Certainly not impossible, but unlikely. I don't buy it.
