The 2008 American Idol Thread.....

[ckay87]

David Archuleta -- Imagine – I love the tone of David's voice but he seems so manufactured he's a turn OFF. I see nothing at all attractive about him, he looks like the class doofus. Doesn't matter, thousands of tweens disagree with me... ... so I'll have to deal with him probably until the finale. Imagine THAT!

Oh Robin, we really ARE drifting apart

David Archuleta... once again my opinion has diverged from all of America's (and the judges). I guess tens of millions of people can't be wrong, but the kid bores me.

Chikeize... In it to win it, baby!

Michael Johns... Not that I have a mancrush or anything, but that guy has my attention every single time he takes the stage

David Cook... Dude! I didn't know you were a rocker. Nice job upstaging Robbie Carrico and exposing him for the faux rocker he is.

Danny Noriega... waaaaay too fabulous for my taste. Hopefully he's done

The rest = sameness. I don't care which one goes home along with Danny tomorrow

ETA: Dang, almost forgot... Jason Castro, WASH YOUR HAIR!

Perfect! I couldn't have said it better.

I'm surprised by DialIdol's numbers. I know they place all of them (besides #1) as potential bottom 3 but the numbers they are listed by is shocking. Jason Yeager 2nd place? Surely not!

Not really, ckay. If he would turn off the Melinda cutesie "oh really" act I might start liking him. Otherwise, he'll just have to live in my ears!

Golly GEE I don't BELIEVE IT!!​

Some song spoilers I got off of MJsbigblog site for tonight's girls show:

1. Carly Smithson – “Crazy On You” by Heart
2. Syesha Mercado – “Me And Mr. Jones (changed from Mrs. to Mr.) by Billy Paul
3. Brooke White – “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon
4. Ramiele Malubay – “Don’t Leave Me This Way” by Thelma Houston
5. Kristy Lee Cook – “You’re No Good” by Linda Ronstadt
6. Amanda Overmyer – “Carry On My Wayward Son” by Kansas

10. Asia’h Epperson – All By Myself by Celine Dion

ETA: According to Joesplace, “In general the judges hated the songs and the performances. While there were a few positives with individuals (Simon loved a performance and Paula and Randy didn’t for instance), the judges didn’t like the girls tonight.”

BTW - where can we get MP3s other than ITunes (my MP3 player is not an IPod)?

http://www.rickey.org/ I've already got my favorite four from last night.

 

[Philadisney]

And I know I won't be liked for this, but I actually like Danny. He's not my favorite, but I like him. I always seem to like the ones that everyone else hates! I particularly remember John Stevens from Season 3. I absolutely loved him and I think I was probably the only one.

No you're not, I'm with you! I liked John Stevens a lot - I even have his CD somewhere. And I like Danny too, it helps that he picked a song last night that I love. I thought David A & David H were also quite good, but no one else blew me away.

My review:

Michael Johns – OUCH!!

Jason Castro - was very good and I disagree with the Judges, I like the guitar.

Luke Menard – ummm....better than last week but still just ok

Robbie Carrico – I love the song he sang and I thought he sang it well.

Danny Noriega - ugh, no

David Hernandez – he was pretty good I'll have to admit.

Jason Yeager – please, please, go home - I can't stand another week

Chikezie – so much better than he was last week.

David Cook – Still something I don't like about him but I'm not sure what it is.

David Archuleta - Even I will admit he was the BEST OF THE NIGHT!

I'd like to see Jason Yeager and Danny N. go home tomorrow night.

The thing that really bothers me with David Achuletta is the loud breathing. It is soooo distracting. Another poster mentioned it a few pages back also.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I'M SO MAD I COULD SPIT!!!!!!! I went out last night and I just got the chance to watch and my DVR only taped 27 MINUTES!!!! The only saving grace is that I got to see MJ. Damn he looked fine in that T-Shirt

I think he has had health problems with his throat which may explain that. He still can belt those notes though!

DID YOU SEE JASON'S POSITION ON DIALIDOL???? WHAT THE



Maybe people THOUGHT they were voting for Jason Castro??

Yea, I did - that scares me - not to be mean or anything to any contestant but last night Jason Yeager was awful and so out of tune, who's voting for him???

Golly GEE I don't BELIEVE IT!!​

See? It really IS a small world after all. I declare that I am officially pulling for "not my mancrush" Michael Johns and Chikezie (although I hope he doesn't let em down next week).

Back away from the Aussie, TP....

 

[agnes!]

The Vote for the Worst brigade. Even if VFTW picks someone else as their awful-fave, last night Jason Y was the WORST in my book. He doesn't deserve to be on the same stage as *any* of the other contestants, including Miss Danny. I mean, Danny at least has the excuse of being young & stupid. The sheer number of contestants who did NOT get picked while this idiotically-grinning Ken Doll got the nod is mind-blowing.

Ugh.

agnes!

Don't worry about MJ, Zip. The Aussie Posse will keep him above water!... at least I HOPE SO!

Taylor Hicks fans? Although Jason couldn't carry Taylor's water glass, he may be getting that segment of votes.

 

[Jennasis]

I assume that Jason Y is out tonight, and am hoping the number two guy is Chikezie or David H (just based on a personal preference, not necessarily their singing.

The 6 guys I'd llike through are:
Michael Johns
David Cooke
David Archuletta
Robbie Carrico
Jason Castro
David Hernandez...by deafult since he sings better than Luke Menard (but I don't like either of them)

My personal jury is still out on the ladies...

Don't count on Jason Y going tonight I think he should. His perfomance was almost scary, it was sooo cheesey!
