The 2008 American Idol Thread.....

Robin, I'm with your review. "Hello" was one of my all time favorites in my romantic youth . I LOVED David's version. Wow. As for Jason, my dd10 is totally in love with him. Cutie is right.

Here's a weird similarity. I was watching David A, and for some reason he reminded me of Robert Downey Jr. Don't know why, but he did. Must have been something I smoked in the 80s coming back to haunt me.

hey, i apologized, it's my PMS, i had to say it. i can't help myself there. but the guys i like...i don't consider "pretty". although there is Danny and David A......they are kinda "pretty" aren't they?? although....not ones i like lol.

well i think the talent pool has dried up, TBH. it always seems like in auditions and in hollywood week they have amazing singers, but then they let them go, and then let people like Luke and David H in, and the audience is left going i feel like the judges all lost a bet or something at some point.

and also....song choice has been pretty horriffic this season. they never should have started off with "theme weeks"....BAD idea.

I can't help but think they deliberately put up "plants" and 'cannon fodder" to promote the Picked ONES. What other reason would Garrett, Colton et al BE THERE???? They are blatantly promoting Carly, Michael and David A and they are not good at covering it up. Most of the guys and nearly ALL of the girls are JOKES, they should be ashamed of themselves this year.

Wait am minute I have said several times that all these people were pretty guys and girls they just cannot sing....but you say decent....nit talented so it proves my point of no talent...

Well David Cook sure isn't a "pretty guy" he is pretty creeepy looking but thats about it LOL. I don't care for his singing either though.
What was up with that Dreadlock story of Jasons- how exactly does a dreadlock just come off in your hand? Are those things fake? I would actually like them better if someone said they were fake because they just seem dirty to me....

and the funny thing is, 2 out of the 3 that you've mentioned, still aren't even that great.

i know people personally who can sing better than some of these people. i honestly think they must put certain people on the show for ratings, anymore. how else can you explain it, you know??

Not sure what back in the day means in Britney years but there in no difference in her 1st album to her new album....she sounds the same....and her body is still smokin hot

No way. Blackout is by far her best work.By FAR! It's completely different and better than Baby One More Time. I know she's totally screwed up but I'm still a fan.

I think David's cute. The hair's gotta go but I don't get the "creepy" thing But then again, I've never been into pretty guys. And he's got a hell of a voice, I really like him! This is actually my favorite season so far, I thought all the guys were great tonight... except Luke. And Danny. The rest of them were pretty good. My favs are still David, Michael, Jason and David A. I don't get why everyone thinks this season is talentless... most of these people already have a whole lot of experience and know exactly what they're doing. And you just can't put down ANYONE and then praise Britney Spears! Talk about not being able to sing...

Thank goodness he's not a pretty guy. He has the rough edge HOT guy look instead

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

this is not a singing competition...never really has been

well in that case......can a good-looking guy win, for a change??? just this once??

Awful, cabaret, what WAS that song???​

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

i completely agree with that! ESPICALLY tonight. he kept giving the camera all those little looks....i almost felt like Ace was on the tv for a second lol.

 

[babieemelly]

Michael Johns – Don’t You Forget About Me – I'll never forget about you, babeeee.... This guys is so my type I could die.... Oh, the SONG?... I loved it.... :sigh:..... I need a cigarette....

That cracked me up!

Blackout is good but I am partial to "oops I did it again" but I own all her albums...and trust me I blast them too....thats sad a 35 year old country guy blasting Britney in his pickup....sad but true

Thankfully he didn't go for the Constantine stare

She sounds like a 2yo trying to warble... ugh....

Imagine what she'd sound like if she looked like Rosie O'Donnell!!!

BTW, I loves me some PRETTY BOYS... I was the only one who did back in school and I grabbed up all I could!!! I figure if guys could like eye candy, so can I!!
