The Official American Idol Season 8 Thread.

I have a question, I was reading on another board (an AI board) that there was a problem with the voting tonight...A lot of people seem to been having this, and I'm really not sure if MY votes went to the right person tonight. I did put the right #'s and all, but this is the strangest thing ever. Say you were voting for Danny and the votes went to Kris or Adam - or it could be the other way around. So, I was wondering if when you were voting for the person you want to go on, did you get a message saying something like this:

Thanks for voting for contestant number 1 (or 2 or 3) watch American Idol on Fox sponsored in part by AT&T (whatever else is after the AT&T part).

Does that make sense? Should I post the link? I'll just put it here in this post.

Click here for the vote problem.

Did this happen to anyone else tonight? I might have had this happen..

just checked dial idol

all three contestants had the same range, and all three are in danger of going home

Dial Idol isn't very accurate with its votes, because people have to "use" Dial Idol - its like a system I think for calling in for votes. But that is pretty scary, I have to agree.

If Adam goes home, i will seriously cry

I would prolly not be overly sad, but I'd be heartbroken and really disappointed. I'm trying to stay positive about all of this.

I think that if Adam goes home and doesn't win AI, that will be great for him. The he can go off and do his own thing. Simon has already said from the beginning that if Adam doesn't win, then he (Simon) will sign him on his own private label. Adam is amazing, he doesn't need to be stuck under American Idol's contract for a year. Telling him; what to sing, how to sing it, and where to sing it. He did very well singing One or The One, whatever its called. I've only heard the song a few times, so idk. He seemed like he was really getting into it, which is great. Cryin' wasn't a very good choice for him, IMO. He could've done like Sweet Emotions or Angel by Aerosmith also, I think those would've sounded better. But he still sounded wonderful like always.


Danny.. I've just haven't liked him from the auditions, he is a great singer I'm not at all putting down his vocal abilities, I'm just saying IMO I don't care for him that much. You Are So Beautiful was just a poor choice of song to me. This was his last chance to be in the finals.. and he picked that? Ahh. & I walked in late to see his first performance but my mom said he did "okay"

Kris is my man, that quirky cute little crooked smile gets me every time. I think he did very well turning Heartless into his own, I loved the acoustic version he tried out. I think he did a great job. Like the judges said.. it sounded better than Kanye's, I don't know about The Frays, cause I didn't even know they sang it. And Apologize I think he sounded very well. He would be a great country singer IMO, just how he looked up there with his guitar.. I could just picture him up there with Kenny Chesney.

Right now, I think anyone can go home. They all have a chance of winning. Whether they win or lose they are all gonna get record deals by someone.

I honestly think Danny is going home tonight.

I'm leaving for Disney, Saturday.. So we're gonna be at WDW during the finale(sp?). I think Tuesday we're gonna go to AK, because it closes at 5 anyways, then Wednesday since Idol won't start until 8, we're gonna go to Epcot and just skip Illuminations that night. We're staying 10 days, so we'll have enough time to go to every park twice, it's not like we'll really be missing out.

I thought they were all very good last evening. I really don't know who will go home. I don't think it will be Adam , just because he seems to be on a highere pedestal then Danny & Kris. I really don't want Kris to leave.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Danny was my favourite again, of course. The way he softly sang 'You Are So Beautiful' made my heart just melt.

Kris was also really great! I disliked him last week, but this week he's back in my good graces.

I was feeling awful last night. My allergies were acting up and I felt extremely lightheaded/dizzy and my leg was really bothering me again. I just could not listen to all of Adam's last performance. I barely made it through his first one. When he started to scream (again) on his last performance, I gave up and went to bed. I don't like him at all, and I never have.

I didn't vote last night because like I said, I was feeling pretty bad. I just went to sleep afterwards. Somebody asked if they were getting the right recording when they called though, and they are. It was always says 'Thanks for voting for contestant 1 (2,3).....'

Hopefully Adam will go home.

Thoughts on last night...

Danny; did good. but at this in stage in the competition he needs to do more thing that people are going to remember. Love him though hes such a cutie. I like that he actually talks to the judges as oppose to Kris who just stands there and smiles.

Adam; amazing as usual. But I think he should've done a Queen song. The Aerosmith song was just good not spectacular. But the U2 song was amazing, so props to Simon for picking that.

Kris; I think he did really well. I agree with Kara & Randy he should've changed the arrangement of Apologize. I think he did really well for Heartless. It was kind of like The Frays version of the song but more up tempo.

Dont know who will be going home, but all three of them are going places, musically. Their all very very talented.

Yep

 

[BabyPiglet]

Is Heartless originally a rap song?

I really love Kris's arrangement of it...

Yes. Kayne West sings it, I think.

dial idol predicted the finale last year to the exact percentages

Well not exactly.
They predicted the winner of the finale.

But there is now way of confirming the exact percentages.

go Lambert

dial idol predicted cook would win with 53% of the vote, ryan seacrest said on the night of the finale that the winner had 53% of the vote

 

[BabyPiglet]

Oh my god, what the hell? Would they just show us the top two? This performance is just a little odd.

 

[BabyPiglet]

OMG! Arkansas was just on national TV! Arkansas is NEVER on national TV!

I'm having a proud moment for my icky little state.

 

[PosessedEeyore]

I'm glad Danny left.
I'm voting Kris next week.
Hes grown on me, and I now like him better than Adam.

 

[nerdylightbulb]

I am SO happy Danny Gokey is gone. i've hated him since the beginning and loved Adam and Kris. This finale will be AMAZING!
