The 2008 American Idol Thread.....

[wdwgirl03]

I love Danny. He's hilarious. I know he's not the best, but even my dad says he hopes he sticks around awhile because he's entertaining.

But little David is still my favorite.

WHO posted the spoilers last week so we knew what the women were singing? I want to know????? Is there a spoiler website? I tried Googling but didn't find anything.

I'm not sure of any websites. However, the reason there may have been spoilers last week is that the show was pre-recorded. This week the show is live. There was a spoiler posting yesterday for the guys, but it was posted minutes before they went on.

Lots of people are thinking that Danny = Sanjaya, but I actually think Danny can sing which is why, despite the attitude, I don't mind him sticking around for a bit. I don't think he's really chosen anything to suit his voice yet, but I do think that there's a decent voice hidden behind the purple streaks in his hair.

I'll go and do some snooping Idol forums doesn't have the spoilers for it.

Though there's talk of a twist mid season.

Bryan Adams would have been good, maybe next week??

I really want to know what the women are singing--oh and RYAN, they are WOMEN, not girls.

Preach on sister!
Some of them are teenagers, but I would prefer for him to refer to all the female performers as "ladies" or "women" (like he refers to the male performers as "guys" or "men".) Even though there are male teenage contestants, he NEVER describes that group as "boys".
While we're on AI Pet Peeves, I would like to propose a new stoopid drinking game. A shot every time Ryan puts his grubby mitts on the female performers - I just *bet* there will be at least 8 shots tonight . Usually it's his arm around their shoulders and then he hugs them to himself. Ack.

agnes!

I did.
Last week I got them off Mjsbigblog.com
But I havent seen any song spoilers on there for this week.

My favorite last night was David Cook. He ROCKED that song! He got my votes.

Still cant stand little David A. (or as I like to call him David Enchilada). He really needs to work on that breathing of his. Him mentioning that he picked that song to bring attention to homeless people~whatever.

Not a big deal, but lets also play 'how many times will Simon have his arm on Paula's chair!' It seems to be permanently attached to it.

I'm with you on that one too. I notice the (subtle and not so subtle) signals people send by their body language. I suppose Simon's chair-arm touching could indicate a certain level of comfort but my money's on one-upmanship/asserting control.

agnes!

Another note about David Cook last night.
I heard that his version of "Hello" was an Incubus' cover of the Lionel Richie song.
I hope he doesnt get as much slack as Daughtry did for his version of Live's Walk the Line.

I dont care because no matter what he ROCKED it (as did Daughtry)

 

[mandy200587]

Just a heads up for anyone who goes to youtube for the performances, they are going after the videos and removing them.

Ok, thanks. I guess I will just have to wait until tonight.

Hey Dan, I saw this and thought of you!

Those eyes are starin' right at ya!

 

[GoofieRuthie]

I'm wondering if the wheezing sound that David A makes is because of his past problems with his vocal chords. One of the girls sucks air in also and it makes me crazy. DD15 hates when Amanda sings "Chu" instead of You in every song. She is in Girls chorale and Chorusters and has learned many do's and don'ts when singing so it's bugging her to death.

Highlight to read.




Ramiele - "Call Me" by Blondie

Booke -"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman

Carly - "What's love Got to do with it" by Tina Turner

Kady- "Brass Pocket" by The Pretenders

Amanda- "Should I stay or Should I Go"

Asia'h - "The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston

Kristy - "Hurt So Bad" by Linda Ronstadt.

Based on the spoilers...

I'm not surprised by Kady's choice...seems to fit with what she did last week.

Asiah's is a shock for me. Another BIG song after last week's (IMO) debacle.

...as far as spoilers go...seriously, don't the majority of us not care about "revealing" the spoilers five or six hours before showtime? Can't we just talk openly about stuff like this?...just my $.02...

I saw this exact list on a fan site and it was HIS picks for what songs they should sing. It is a good list though. Hopefully they pick some of these or similar. I think Amanda should sing the song he picked for Ramilie though.

PSA--the white type shows up on the quotes

I agree. I don't think proposed song choices are spoilers.
