The Dean Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I think that had to do more with the fact that she was crying. She actually had a pretty good voice, but she didn't have a chance to win. It would be great to see everyone leave in the order they deserve to, but it's only bad when one of the possible winners loses before the pathetics who are only there for looks/attitude, etc... 623636[/snapback] I figure it might be hard to sing after just being told you're gone. But the guy from South San Francisco (Sway?) was GREAT on his "goodbye" song. So good, I'm surprsed they just didn't just bring him back on and say, "You people are crazy. This guy is good." Of course, I've seen a total of about 15-20 minutes of the season. That's enough for me.
Acantha Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Yep, that's how I started too. Watched maybe 30 min a couple seasons ago. Last year I caught mabye half the shows. This year I look forward to it. A lot of people, including myself, trash the show in principle alone. But it's entertaining once you start watching. And the weekly outcome is much harder to predict than say...the superbowl.

If it's not THAT, then you see them just take the song and hit it full throttle (sort of like Gedeon last night ), which makes you wonder wtf they were holding back for to begin with.....

stevestojan Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I'm listening to the Sabres game right now since it is not on MSG. I am not afraid to admit I watch American Idol for the first few episodes with the weirdos, etc. But I don't watch the "good" people. Now I turn it on, and there is some 12 year old Malcom in The Middle looking "dude" on here... WTF is this? Anyone?

I hope you just saw Taylor Hicks...that was great.
stevestojan Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 That kid is brutal. He shouldn't be there. I hope you just saw Taylor Hicks...that was great. 629985[/snapback] That was freaking great. Really. And I don't mean "Great for American Idol". That was just damn good. Even the old-timers around here would like that, no doubt.
cåblelady Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Even the old-timers around here would like that, no doubt. 629991[/snapback] Yes, we do.
ajzepp Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I've honestly become bored with a lot of these contestants....Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry make it worthwhile, though....they can just plain bring it. These girls are really nice to look at, but they've just fallen off the wagon IMO.
DevilsAlum Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 My 11 year old daughter is a big fan and that means that my wife and I also watch the show. While I understand the Ace vote, no one has been able to explain the Kevin vote yet. After talking to my wife, my theory is that the poeple who are voting for Kevin are the same pople who pick up stray dogs. They see something helpless and they can't resist. Now, Kelly Pickler on the other hand. . .
LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Nobody knows how the voting will shape the competition, but from my view, it should be a two horse race between Chris and Taylor. Katharine would probably round out the top 3.

But if we're talking in terms of what will SELL, I think you have to go with Taylor and Chris. Last year, the only music I would have dropped money on was that of Bo. Prior to that it would have been Tamayra Gray. This year I'd probably pay money for either of these guys' stuff.....I thought they both rocked the house last night. I didn't know 'Higher Ground' was a Stevie Wonder song, but that is a KILLER tune. I remember that being played on one of the ESPN commercials a year or so ago. Good tune!
2003Contenders Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 That kid is brutal. He shouldn't be there. I hope you just saw Taylor Hicks...that was great. 629985[/snapback] Kevin can't sing, but even as a youngster he's developed a witty Woody Allen-like self deprecating look at himself that some people must find enduring. (I'm not one of them.) Anyway, his "I wasn't expecting much from you!" stab at Simon undoubtedly got him a ticket back next week.
Puhonix Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 That kid is brutal. He shouldn't be there. I hope you just saw Taylor Hicks...that was great. 629985[/snapback] He's got the 12-14-year-old-girl-with-nothing-better-to-do-than-vote market.
Mark Vader Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The Bottom 3 tonight IMO should be: Elliot, Ace, & Lisa. With Ace getting the axe. I just know that Ace will somehow survive, becasue of his good looks which is all he has going for him. Ace should have been canned last week. Say what you want about Kevin, and his days are numbered too, but Ace has brought absolutely zero to American Idol this year.
bobblehead Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Ace is on a very, very short leash as far as I go. Just having the name "Ace" usually is enough to wish beatings on, but he seems somewhat sincere so he's getting a bit of slack. One wink, and/or finger point, and/or that freaking clicking noise that typical "Ace's" do with their teeth, usually while pointing at you, and that goon a-hole will end up in the douche bag doghouse quicker than a chicken on skis.
Rico Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 Ace = Constantine, don't think he's going anywhere for awhile. They all pretty much sucked yesterday, the only one I enjoyed was Spazz & it wasn't cause of the singing. My bottom 3 are Bucky, Eliott, and Melissa, Other than Kevin, Bucky was the worst yesterday,either him or Elliott is the one to go, just meh personality, I'll say Bucky. Early Final 4 Predictions: Mandisa, Katherine, Chris, Spazz.
