Don’t think so…

I think she is a nice girl with a pleasant voice but last years winner was country music …Carrie Underwoods voice much better…

Usually two of the same type don’t win …back to back…
We’ll see about that.
 
I missed last week. I was excited about ā€œQueenā€ week, but I think they’ll just do the same old songs everyone is familiar with like ā€œWe are the Championsā€. I’m kinda sick of that song since it’s played in games and graduations constantly.

I hope someone does ā€œA Kind of Magicā€ and/or ā€œShow Must Go Onā€.

Are they still doing idol in England ? Is it on now?
No… it’s on ITV2 but I just have the basic 5 channels so I don’t get that; occasionally it’s on Sunday morning about 11:30ish but that’s only when the motorbike races/Grand Prix etc. aren’t on, but they’ve been on for a few weeks now so Idol hasn’t been on.

People in the UK have always heaped praise on American Idol because you have always had excellent talent and the best person (or an extremely talented person, even if they aren’t THE best ;)) always wins, regardless of race or sex or age. That just doesn’t seem to be happening this year, with rubbish like Kellie, Ace, Bucky… :mad:

I’m so disappointed this year 😦
 
Who do you all think will be eliminated tonite? I bet Bucky or Elliott.

Thoughts?

I’m routing for Taylor and Paris!!!

For the last 2 weeks I have predicted Bucky to get booted and I have been wrong. Maybe I should pick someone else to get booted and Bucky will finally go.We’ll have to wait and see how it goes tonight. I would really like Kellie, Paris, Bucky and Ace to go. Then we would have a show.
 
They’re doing Queen songs right now. Lord, help us. I am a HUGE QUEEN FAN! Freddie had the best voice ever put on this earth. I am of the firm belief that the only person who can pull-off a Freddie vocal effectively is Freddie-and, unfortunately, he’s dead.

There have only been two songs so far, and both have been dismal. I have no hope for the rest of the show. What are these people thinking? If Freddie had a grave, he’d be rolling over in it right now.

Oh my goodness! Chris is wearing eyeliner. :eek: :bigyikes:

And Kellie Pickler just butchered Bohemian Rhapsody (big shock, huh?)!
Scout :tiphat:
 
Okay, I’ve just watched all the contestants. With the exceptions of Taylor and Katherine, they all STUNK! It was atrocious, horrible, horrific, revolting and even embaressing! All the others deserve to go home after those performances!

And where was Simon in all this? He was actually telling almost all of them, except Taylor, that they were pretty good. Was he even listening to them? Did he leave the studio while they were singing? I’m so disappointed in Simon.

Poor Freddie.

Well…I think they have all improved. I actually liked Kellies performance…it was a stretch for her and I think she did okay…

I think the best tonight…Taylor.

Simon was right about Chris…when I knew they were doing Queen…I thought …this is where Chris will shine…he was good but I really wanted to hear a Fredy Mercury song…

I’ll pedict either Bucky or Ace will go…but who knows…
 
After Mandisa getting axed last week, which was a complete shock, I don’t know if I can predict anymore. I’m wondering if it’s even a legitimate vote going on.

If it were up to me, I would have to say Bucky or Ace to go. But who knows what will happen.

I thought most everyone did ok this week, Queen is not easy, so most did better than I expected. Chris’ voice is killer, but he blew the song choice, I was dissappointed. He should have stood out as the one that couldn’t be beat. I’ve forgotten his song already, that’s not good.

Taylor, as usual, is the only one right now I could see myself paying for a ticket to see him perform, for an entire show. He just makes you want to move when he’s on stage. He invites you into his performance. He may not be the most original, if that’s what Simon is looking for, but he’s a great performer. He has my vote until the end.
 
I hate American Idol. It’s a pretty worthless show as far as I’m concerned. As far as I’m concerned, the show stinks.

I agree. The worse tonight was Ace, and Bucky was a close second. Plus, I’m sick of Ace and his girly good looks. He’s not a great singer, either. He should go.

Scout :tiphat:
 
I thought Elliott was the best tonight. I agree with Simon about Taylor, I think he said something like " I thought it was ridiculous." And that jumping & running around was a bit too much. Chris’s voice sounded too much like a sheep. Katherine was too loud. I didn’t like Paris’s performance. Ace & Bucky… well they were Ace & Bucky;) I actually thought Kellie did alright. That’s my take on this evenings show.šŸ™‚
 
I liked Taylor’s performance best. I also liked Kelly’s.

I was stunned by Paris’s performance. I realize her voice is amazing, but she looked and sounded like she should be on a street corner. I kept thinking ā€œthey’ve turned this little girl into a hardened prostitute.ā€ Although they cut Simon off real fast, I think he was about to comment about this.

I agree Aimee. I think they all improved. In fact it was the first time I sort of…enjoyed Bucky. :o
Regarding Chris… After Simon’s comment I thoughtā€¦ā€œgeez, the guy is danged if you do, danged if you don’t, ya know?ā€ā€¦
Meaning, the risk in doing a ā€˜popular’ recognizable Queen song is that you can come off as a copy cat. On the other hand you can try to be original. I don’t think it hurt him in the long run. And, I would have been SICK hearing Chris singā€¦ā€œWe will, we will ROCK YOU!!ā€ :nope:
I hated Kellie, but I admit my predjudice. I did like her comment about SIMON having an accent. LOL…
Everyone else did ok to good. None stood out to me.
Based on performance, I think Ace should go.
