The 2008 American Idol Thread.....

[BuckyFan04]

There is David A, David C and David H.

Well, it has been fun, but I need to go to bed. See you all tomorrow night, same time, same channel!

Good night!

It has been fun! This thread moves so fast. I look away for one second and there are two more pages of new posts

Hopefully the girls will do well tomorrow!

Wow I can't get in for my Mike!! I'll keep trying!

I'm happy.... if I smoked I could use a cigarette...

Go Aussie Posse!!!!!

I love love love David Archuleta!! My mom and I have loved him from the beginning and he's definitely our favorite in the competition. He did amazing tonight! And he's just way too adorable.

I've also liked David Cook and Michael Johns since the beginning and I thought they also did very well. Another of my favorites is Danny. He wasn't able to show his voice much from the song tonight, but I've liked him from his audition and Hollywood and I think he deserves to make the top 12.

So my top 6 guys would definitely consist of David A, David C, Michael and Danny. I don't really know too much about many of the others since I haven't seen enough of them. But I liked the other David (geez so many!), Robbie since I usually like the rockers, and I also thought Jason was interesting. The only thing is that he has really nice eyes and a nice smile, but I wish he would get rid of that hair!!

As for who goes home, I definitely think Chikeze should go home. I liked him just because his name was cool, but I definitely don't like his attitude. I didn't think he did that well, but that attitude that he gave Simon was just downright rude. He just wouldn't stop and acted like a jerk. I think he should go home just for that. As for who else should go home, maybe Luke or Garret. They were kinda boring.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Garrett to go home, along with Jason Castro. I hated both performances. UGH

MMHMM.

I think I'm in love with him.

Jason Yeager's hair is like that naturally. One of my friends knows him.

 

[Robinrs]

LOL!!!!!!!

I found out today that the Ellen DeGeneres lookalike only lives a few miles from me. I think he's a little too goofy to be an American Idol, but his voice wasn't that bad. Apparently he does a lot of theater in my area.

Having said that, I'm still going to vote for the smokin' hot Aussie!!!

The Aussie lives about 5 miles from ME!!! They're showcasing him on the local news now!

I think she looks a little puffy in the face...more swollen than fat.

DW Lauri looked at her and said "Paula's on Prednisone for something". I asked how she knew and she said when you've lived on them long enough you can spot it a mile away. Don't know whether she's right or not.

Our favorites for the night were Michael, David C and Robbie

Week One – The Guys - Wrap-up
I enjoy the music of the sixties, but I wish the contestants would get a chance to showcase who they are and what music they like in these initial rounds.

Overall, an incredibly boring night. Quite a disappointment as no one really stood out.

David Hernandez – In the Midnight Hour – In the dreaded first spot…he was okay, but I feel like he fell apart at the end. I’m not sure I like the tone of his voice.

Chikezie – More Today Than Yesterday – While he was rockin’ the orange suit, I don’t think he a right note in the first 30 seconds. And I hated the slowed-down version of this song. It’s one of my favorites, so maybe I’m a little biased. And he’s going by one name now?

David Cook – Happy Together – I guess we have to start every song slow tonight? Granted, I was no fan of Daughtry, but this guy’s “lite rock” is one of my least favorite subgenres of music. I thought he was pretty weak and don’t get the praise the judges bestowed on him at all.

Jason Yeager – Moon River – Didn’t think it could get cornier than Chikezie…I was wrong. With the finger pointing and the awkward smiles…wow…He didn’t sound awful, but the performance was cheesy.

Robbie Carrico – One – Comparing him and David Cook, I think Robbie’s the better rocker. I thought it was pretty good actually.

David Archuleta – Shop Around – Started much too low for him. I like this kid, though. I think he’s definitely got a voice.

Danny Noriega – Jailhouse Rock – In his audition that I saw online, I thought he could actually sing. Tonight I didn’t think he was that good. Didn’t think he was as awful as Simon thought, but he wasn’t that great either.

Luke Menard – Everybody’s Talkin’ – What is up with this slowed-down stuff tonight? Luke was just Luke-warm. Agree with Simon that he was forgettable. Sorry, ladies…

Colton Berry – Suspicious Minds –He looked comfortable onstage and he sounded pretty good, too. About 3/4s of the way through, he through in some unnecessary runs, but overall, I liked it.

Garrett Haley – Breakin’ Up Is Hard to Do – Taking the Phil Stacey Creepy Award for me tonight (the award is not just reserved for those that are bald)…One of the few to sing a ballad tonight, I thought he was average. I agree that he was boring.

Jason Castro – Daydream – Looks can be deceiving, I guess. My favorite performance of the night. A couple wrong notes here and there towards the end, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Michael Johns – Light My Fire – Sorry, ladies, but I’m not a huge fan of this guy. I don’t know why, but I think his voice is kind of boring. Still, I would agree with Simon that he’s got charisma.


The Best
Jason Castro – Daydream
David Archuleta – Shop Around
Robbie Carrico – One

Middle of the Pack
Colton Berry – Suspicious Minds
Michael Johns – Light My Fire
David Cook – Happy Together
David Hernandez – In the Midnight Hour
Garrett Haley – Breakin’ Up Is Hard to Do
Danny Noriega – Jailhouse Rock

The Worst
Luke Menard – Everybody’s Talkin’
Jason Yeager – Moon River
Chikizie – More Today Than Yesterday

Going Home
Jason Yeager – I feel like he’s definitely going home
Luke Menard, Chikizie, or Garrett Haley for the second slot.

Get your fill of Michael Johns tonight…I’ll ogle the ladies tomorrow

i think i'm the president of the "Chris Daughtry sucks" fanclub, but i really like Dave Cook. i'm more of the "rocker" type to begin with. Chris is just kind of soft/alternative rock...nothing special. i love Dave's voice.

i agree with you on Luke. he bored me to tears, even his good looks couldn't save him for me from this one.

most men won't like Michael. he's got the looks, the voice, and the personality, so most men will have that jealous vibe, so it's understandable.

uhm.....have you SEEN most of "the ladies"??? well you have fun then!

 

[raysnkaysmom]

The Aussie....Michael Johns....I can swear I saw him and his band perform here in Buckhead when CJs landing closed....Anyone confirm?? lol

I'm not too impressed with the guys this year...
I do like the young kid (Noriega???) who sang Elvis...
and...the kid with dreads....and Michael Johns....

but they all still have alot to prove to me

Yep, we call them Chipmunk cheeks.

My Dad was on it for awhile and so was my CAT! They looked like the Godfather while they were on it!

I got in 4 calls for my Aussie Posse.... looooove that guy and Jason is my second fave now!!

i still can't get thru for Michael or Dave C. at all.

Jason Castro is from my town.

And believe it or not, we have the same hairdresser. She does his dreadlocks. She says his hair is really beautiful without the dreads.

He sings at a local church here every weekend, and there was an article about him in the paper today. Apparentely, the Idol producers said his audition was one of the best they had ever seen, but he sang "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley...and they couldn't get a release for the song to be placed on air.

We'll see.

My hubby and daughter just got back from the viewing party at the "local church"

Go Jason!!!!!

[mandy200587]

add me to another person who really just does not like Daughtry.

 

[Sandy22]

we have decided that he looks like a young John Travolta...especially in profile.

I too thought he looked a bit like John Travolta - minus the dreads of course.

i'm so glad to know i'm not the only one. i thought i was for a while there.

Maybe you were too distracted with all of your drooling at Taylor to notice you were overthrown?
