The 2008 American Idol Thread.....

[babieemelly]

Yo, homegirl, you know me better than that.

I'm not TOOTIN any horn, I was told by Mr. Dan that the "woman's movement" was the cause of my angst. I just wanted to point out that it was not a petty thing, I was looking at it as a mother not hardly as a peer, and I know what that's like because I've dealt with it all my life. That's not a brag, that's a sad fact. Sorry you took it that way.

It just sounded funny because I've never seen anyone hated for being pretty. If someone's a good person then regardless of how gorgeous they may be they usually gain the respect of people around them. The one's who are given a hard time are the girls who go around thinking they're too beautiful for their own good and the whole, "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful" attitude Anyway, if you know so much about being hated for being pretty then why would you perpetuate that by hating her for being pretty?!

Thats the best I have seen but you might get a little backlash about that one....lots of women love him on this board

Did anyone see The Soup tonight?! They made some hysterical comparisons!

Okay.... I have to chime in about the Kady thing. And the blonde thing. I can't stand that everyone has lumped the blondes in together. I don't think any one person stands out yet for the women blonde or not. (except Carly because of the tats not the voice and Amanda because of the hair again not the voice)

I think Kady is completely full of her self ... she is so stiff/planned on stage she seems like my DD's acting in their mirror, they practice their looks. It is funny on a girl not on AI. She is without a doubt a eye roller. Maybe not in the clip that Robin had but she is. She pouts too.

I like Brooke and Kristy. I wish Kristy was doing better she was so much better in the auditions.

Side note... I am blonde and my girls are blonde, my middle actually looks like a mini version of Kristy (everyone has called me to tell me that is what she is going to look like when she grows up.)

Okay that is my vent for the night...

When have we seen her eyeroll? when have we seen her pout? Do you know her personally? do you know someone who does? I have seen none of this out of her. I think she is getting a bad case of the jealous pots. I dont look at Noriega and say he pouts? I dont say David A rolls his eyes? Do I think David A is Mr. Innocent as some claim? no way but I say that based on nothing I have seen out of him. Is he still a good singer? sure he is and I do not hope he leaves based on his so called innocence or look of innocence. thats my point. We none know any of these people and who is to say that they are acting differnet than they would any other time.....my 2 cents thats all

As a Kady fan, let me chime in...

If I'm being honest, I think that there is an underlying "attitude" with her that showed in Week 1. Personally, I think she was much too harshly criticized in Week 1...I thought she actually sang very well. And, I think she thought she did, too. However, she didn't speak back to judges (a la Chikezie) and whatever "pouting" there was occurred because she was trying to keep her cool in the face of unwarranted criticism.

In Week Two's results show, there was anything but an attitude being shown. She was waiting for Ryan to show her the door. Her head was nodding and there was an understanding smile on her face as Ryan said her name (...and then said she was safe).

I'm not denying that there's some type of "attitude" there, but the "attitude" isn't nearly as bad as some are making it out to be.

If this is the debate we're having this season, it goes to show how poor the show is at this point..

I still havent seen attitude. I think she may have confidence in herself but thats all. I just feel she is not getting a fair chance with alot of female voters becuase she is Blonde and is good looking. I think Alaina felt victim to the same thing. thats my point. I understand that this is a popularity contest first and a singing competition second. I just hate to hear all the bashing of her and we dont even know her. and then to say her parents are bad parents was very wrong.....I agree the competition is not as good as last season so far but they are all very pretty people on both sides. thats what made the earlier seasons better it was more about the singing. Rubeun, Fantasia, Kelly....they were not the hottest things around but they had great vocals, well maybe not Fantasia.

I've never hated anyone for being pretty... not in my entire life and I really don't know how you even thought that.

In my world that type isn't even considered pretty! I'm from a completely different culture and mindset... sorry. I was talking about her attitude ONLY and Dan's take on it. Like I said we all viewed it differently, some saw attitude and some didn't. I really don't want to harp on this, I just wanted to emphasize that I am HARDLY a pretty hater or full of myself... Lord knows if you really knew me you'd know this.

Sorry we all got off topic, proof positive that this season is not talented enough for us to concentrate on the MUSIC!!

Now can we agree to disagree and MOVE ON???

I cant hate pretty people either...cause then I would hate myself....

 

[babieemelly]

I didn't think that, I just wasn't sure why you hated her. First you said it was because of her attitude (which is fine! I don't detect an attitude but if anyone else does then it's no skin off my back ) but then you brought up that people must hate her because she's pretty since people hated you for being pretty...? I just didn't get what you were saying but it's all good

I cant hate pretty people either...cause then I would hate myself....

Has anyone been able to find mp3's of David A's version of Heaven that he sang during Hollywood week? Ditto that for David H's Love the One You're With. They're not even available on ITunes.

If anyone else wants these, I got them here.

I think she is getting a bad case of the jealous pots.

I am not jealous, If I was jealous of someone that young I would spend my days in the offices of Drs. Nip and Tuck I will just stick with the gym and hoping and praying that things stay in place a little longer My DH thinks I a drop dead gorgeous so that is all I need, but then again he has to say that....

And actually if I were to judge women you and I think the same... I loved Ms. Pickler and think Carrie is beautiful. I think all of the Blondes this year have that look to be an Idol but I haven't seen it with the voice yet. How scary is it Dan that you and I find the same women attractive ? If your boys have a thing for Blondes they need to stay away from my girls.

I am moving on now.... but they gotta give us something more to talk about than the attitude and looks. Where is the talent that they keep talking about?

Glad you are back full time we missed you in the beginning of the season.

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALOOOOOONG??

I blame the stylists for Amanda's skunk hair.

 

[mandy200587]

Do they get stylists this early or has it changed?

Great minds think alike.....Also my 11 year old has had the same girlfriend for 3 years now and she is a brunette....but my 7 year old is more like me.....so watch out

Glad you are back full time we missed you in the beginning of the season.

What no controversy till page 135....

I thought it was top 12? I may be wrong
