It's 1-866-IDOLS-??

You called 1-800 didn't you!?!

thank you! I must be getting old and losing my memory!

 

[2bemarried]

I just got through 15 times for David Cook..no problems at all. I hope others are voting for him as well!!!

I'm hoping that Luke and Danny go home..but I have a feeling that it'll be Luke and David H instead.

I would like to hear Kady get a chance to sing a Britney song....I know she did a little one time but I would like to hear it for real

Britney? Wasn't she born in the 80's??

 

[dolphindan1]

Britney? Wasn't she born in the 80's??

Yeah, I meant get a chance at some point during the show

 

[Rella Bella]

It's 1-866-IDOLS-??

You called 1-800 didn't you!?! LOL! I love how Ryan always stresses NOT to call 1-800.

No, I got that part right but didn't remember "Idols"...

I did 34567 and 43567 JUST NOT 43657!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Dan....they're trying to find TALENTED people this season. and the words Britney Spears and talent should never be in the same sentence together.

you know what i was thinking?? since they had problems with his guitar and they switched him and Michael Johns around.....does anyone think that will affect the voting??

Well there is no Talent this season. Maybe next year. I like Britney as an artist.

 

[DarthKTrava]

Well there is no Talent this season.

Nope.

Maybe next year.

We can only hope.

I like Britney as an artist.

So do I. I pity her more than anything for her recent problems.

Week Three – The Guys – My Unabashingly BITE of RyMickey'sWrap-Up

80s week… Okay, I was HOT in the 80s, folks... dressed like the girl in the Thriller video everyday... yes, HOT...

Luke Menard – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go – Luke is Gone Gone. He is a dollbaby, though, but boring as a John Legend Barry Manilow concert.

David Archuleta – Another Day in Paradise – I love the tone of this guys voice and I enjoy him more when I don't watch him. There is something so manufactured about him and his voice doesn't match his doofiness. I will ITune him though, because the song WAS GOOD!

Danny Noriega – Tainted Love – This guy reminds me of the 80s... yes I spent a LOT of time in the Gay Discos, those guys can PARTAY!!! He is a rebirth of my best friend Wesley from College, the one who tried to steal all of my boyfriends.. but I digress.... The song stunk but VFTW will keep him entertaining us for weeks....

David Hernandez – It’s All Coming Back to Me Now – David is good but not great. He's cute but not hot. That's why he falls on the lukewarm side for me. I'd much rather see him strip!!

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....

David Cook -- Hello – Man, that guitar was LOUD, but honestly, I Loved it!!! Did I tell you that "HELLO" was on my answering machine in the 80s??? Did you care???? The Song? ITunes here I come! Hopefully the levels are better there!

Jason Castro -- Hallelujah – I so love this kid... what a sweet face he has. That song just TOUCHED me. ITunes, here I come again. I've already played it over and over on the DVR! Glad he put down the guitar!

Chikezie – All the Woman That I Need – He was alright with this but Cheesy Chikezie needs to pack his polo shirt and orange suit and head on back home....


My Thoughts

The Best

David Archuleta – Another Day in Paradise
Michael Johns – Don’t You Forget About Me
Jason Castro -- Hallelujah

The first because I love his voice, the other two because I want to be the meat in a MJ and JC sandwich!!!

Back in HER DAY, she was talented. She could dance and could sing, not as well as her peers, but she could sing...but now...no.

 

[dolphindan1]

So do I. I pity her more than anything for her recent problems.

I blame Federline

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

Well there is no Talent this season. Maybe next year. I like Britney as an artist.

i'm pretty sure there's at least a few people this year that are decent. but then again there aren't any ugly guys this year....maybe that's why you think there's no talent?? oh i'm sorry Dan, but i really had to...i'm PMSing .....

 

[2bemarried]

you know what i was thinking?? since they had problems with his guitar and they switched him and Michael Johns around.....does anyone think that will affect the voting??

Hmm...interesting thought. I'm also wondering if most viewers with DVR finish watching the show at 9:30 or 10:00 and vote then.

Either way I just got a call in for both of them with no problems. So that makes 1 Michael and 16 David; or 16 Michael and 1 David if the codes are messed up

 

[dolphindan1]

Back in HER DAY, she was talented. She could dance and could sing, not as well as her peers, but she could sing...but now...no.

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

I just got through 15 times for David Cook..no problems at all. I hope others are voting for him as well!!!

I AM!! He's a Kansas City boy!

I liked Jason too.

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...

i got in for David a few times, but more times it's been busy.

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.

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.

ETA: I found a pic of him from 1984, and I'm telling you. I just can't figure out how to stick it in my post!!!!
