The 2008 American Idol Thread.....

I thought the same thing. I originally thought she was in her mid-to-late thirties until I realized that she couldn't be. She looks and acts WAY older... and she IS a one trick pony. I'd like to see her perform one more time to see if she can do anything else because there's no way I'd be able to sit through an hour of that

Amanda reminds me of Dilana from Rockstar: Supernova.

It had to happen. We knew this guy wasn't just going to go away.

She does! I hated Dilana Rock Star: INXS was so much better!

Band is WAY TOO LOUD!!

I agree. Could barely hear The Rocker Nurse due to the stupid band!

VFTW calls them IBWs... Interchangeable Blonde Women. I'm glad I wasn't the only confused one!

Look closely at her face, she looks and acts just like..... PINKY TUSCADARO from Happy Days. I actually like her for some reason. I was hoping she would come out last night with a ballad and knock our socks off but, she didn't. I would like to hear her sing a ballad.

 

[DarthKTrava]

yay i got back from my kitty's vet appointment just in time for Amanda. she was AMAZING. i think that's one of the best AI performances i have ever seen. she could get kicked off tomorrow and have a successful career as a singer.

Wow. That's one late vet appointment......

 

[Thats_for_Shore]

So who did everyone vote for last night?

I think she is more like Leather Tuscadero...
I wish she would sing. Last night was eh 'cause she was mainly yelling. Yeah, it was a "performance" but I would like to hear her surprise us with a SONG!

Yes, LEATHER!!!! It's been a few years since I watched that show.

 

[DarthKTrava]

i don't know if you're talking about the male contestants or not, but they all looked bored as heck!!

i hate that Paula always comments on "you looked great!" ....that's nice Paula, but this is not a beauty competition!

It's the only thing she could come up with and be "the nice one" and leave the sniping to Simon. It's bad if "the nice one" can't think of anything nice to say, but has to say SOMETHING......

She did suck though. She can join Luke "boring as heck" in the bottom of the steaming heap.

 

[DarthKTrava]

yeah, I listen to country, pop and all that crap!

I listen to "pop and all that crap".

This is just about my most hated song ever ( happy together ).... with the exception of Motown, I hate 60's music.

I don't like 60s music either. Too trippy, IMO.

Come on people the 60s was TEN years!! How short WAS that list??????

Too short.

Phil Collins did a MUCH BETTER remake of "Groovy Kind Of Love" than that girl did.

 

[DeterminedOne]

So who did everyone vote for last night?

Asia'h, Syesha, the cute Asian girl, the rocker chick from Indiana and Carly.

 

[DarthKTrava]

Those in EST check on the Moon Eclispe!

I did get a few glimpses of it thru the clouds. Even "dragged" Mom outside so she could see it.

 

[DarthKTrava]

i'll check out the eclipse if the skies are clear enough here tonight. We're under a winter advisory apparently.

So are we. Tonight and tomorrow: freezing rain.

Why can't we be like most of the country and get SNOW?!?!?

Funny how it was sunny when I left work (early due to heavy sneezing and such from the cursed flu ) and now it's cloudy. Cloudy (with breaks in the clouds) last night during the eclipse.

 

[Robinrs]

So who did everyone vote for last night?

I turned on my DVR and watched my tape of BB9. I wasn't inspired to vote for anyone.

 

[DarthKTrava]

I'm a card carrying primary member of the AUSSIE POSSE!!!

You should put that in your sig!!

yeah i thought Blaker Girls was kind of lame, too.

lol yaminions......how do you even pronounce that!?

Start with a New York or New Jersey accent?

Totally OT, but go look at the moon NOW! Looks so cool!

I missed Carly singing because of it...

Jill

That's why they invented DVRs. Pause, go see eclipse, then come back and hit "play".

Or in my case of having to rewind due to looking at eclipse early on and having to deal with laundry so I'd have work pants this morning....

She has a song called "Hold Your Horses"....she didn't hold onto hers, she sold him to go to an AI audition!

Note: "Hold Your Horses" not, "Hold MY Horses".

For those who are curious....Vote for the Worst is backing Amy Davis.

Week Two – The Girls – Wrap-Up

Here we go RyMickey......

I'm not feeling good about this season at this point. Again, all I wanted to do was fast forward. Maybe once I get to know the contestants and we weed out a few of the generic blondes I'll start to care more.

Kristy Lee Cook – Rescue Me – I actually didn't think she sucked half as much as they said. I could see that she was sick but she's not Carly so they tried to keep that under wraps.

Joanne Borgella – I Say a Little Prayer – This girl was nothing special. No one will remember her today.

Alaina Whitaker – More Today Than Yesterday – While she did blow Chikcheesy out of the water, that's not really saying much.

Amanda Overmyer – Baby Please Don’t Go – I'm really thinking one trick pony here. And I don't know that I'm going to continue to be impressed by her single trick. I really see her novelty wearing off. She actually frightens me and I didn't enjoy her screaming all that much.

Amy Davis – Where the Boys Are – She looked beautiful......

Brooke White – Happy Together – I don't like this girl for some reason. She seems too goody two shoes. Her singing isn't any better or worse than anyone elses, I guess.

Alexandrea Lushington – Spinning Wheel – I was prepared not to like this girl. I thought she would come off very militant, but I did enjoy her performance. I actually didn't want to FF her.

Kady Malloy – Groovy Kind of Love – I guess, I was going back to high school days cause this one really made me smile. I enjoyed it.

Asia’h Epperson – Piece of My Heart – I'm still on the fence with this girl. I think she has a good voice, but I'm not sure that I'll like her style once they let them show us what their style is.

Ramielle Malubay – You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me – This girl can sing. But I don't care for her stage presence. She also did not look beautiful. Fire her stylist.

Syesha Mercado – Tobacco Road – I have to say that this girl is my favorite this year. She has something about her that draws me in and makes me pay attention.

Carly Smithson – Shadow of Your Smile – Go home pimp girl. It turned my stomach how Randy and Paula were saying how sick she was when they didn't give two turds about poor sick Kristy. They have made me dislike this girl.

My Thoughts

I didn't really review their singing much since nothing wat too terribly exciting tonight. Right now, I seem to forming a personal opinion about them.

Who else thinks that Danny and Ramielle are the same person??????

The Best
Syesha Mercado – Tobacco Road
Alexandrea Lushington – Spinning Wheel
Kady Malloy – Groovy Kind of Love

Go Home
Carly Smithson – Shadow of Your Smile
Amy Davis– Where the Boys Are

 

[Robinrs]

You should put that in your sig!!

I would if I HAD one but I don't ....

 

[Ride Junkie]

i hate that Paula always comments on "you looked great!" ....that's nice Paula, but this is not a beauty competition!

You know when Paula tells you, "you looked great", that you sucked.
