The American Idol Thread...2008

[blueeyedmanda]

The crop of girls really isnt standing out to me either. I thought Alexanderia was prettty. I really liked how she did her hair last night. She just looked like a fun loving girl.

Then I kept the station on and that Dont forget the Lyrics was on.....that girl annoyed the crap out of me...what a show-off!

[Cheri A]

Jason Yeager, Robbie Carrico, Alexandrea Lushington, and Alaina Whitaker are out.

I feel bed for Jason, I think he really tried.

IMO Alexandrea had a really good voice, I think the song choice was the reason she is going home.

I think so too, Julie. I feel bad for Jason too.

You know, I couldn't put my finger on it until I read this. Robbie was not my favoUrite. I thought he sang well but I just wasn't sure what it was about him. Now I think, maybe I wasn't buying into the Rocker Act . . . long hair and a bandana by itself does not a rocker make. Maybe the rocker voters sensed the discrepancy. I did like him better than Luke.

I wasn't buying it either.

I purposely turned that off, lol. I could tell that she would get on my nerves. I normally like that show though. It's fun for us to play at home.

We usually watch it too, but she was nuts, every time she said lock in my vote she did this dance, after every time she won she would do a different dance. When she sang the lyrics and filled in the blanks, she kept going till the end of the song. What bothered me the most......she acted like a loud rapper!

Internet rumors are flying that he was even wearing a wig

He could sing, but his attitude kind of bothered me. I am all for the contestants giving it back to Simon , but when he said "this is me, deal with it", it kind of came off to me as arrogance.

I think maybe he thought he could use his talent and past experince and win no matter what style of singer he was posing as.

[Cheri A]

So, what did everyone think of the guys last night? I took a trip through memory lane. I was in high school in the 80's, so had a memory of most of the songs they sang last night. I about fell off my couch when Paula told the first guy that she was glad he wasn't wearing Dolphin shorts to sing that Wham! song. I really do not like that Danny guy. He bugs me with his goofy hair and wierd way he moves.

[Darn210]

Can't stand Danny. He is by far my least favoUrite contestant. Hope he is voted off.

I also don't care for Luke. I think he is skating by on his good looks but he is the weakest (male) singer left and I hope he gets the boot, too.

David Cook moved up on my list. I thought he gave the best performance last night. I always assume that the judges will bash whoever I like but they loved him, too!!!

I thought everyone did pretty good last night.

David Cook really stood out the most for me, what he did with Lionel Richie's song was amazing.

[blueeyedmanda]

Danny bugs me too, way too cocky!

[Green12]

None of the girls are really standing out for me.

I did like Amanda's performance though.

[Darn210]

Carly has my vote for top female.

I think it's time for Kady to go . . . not sure about the second . . . Kristy or Ramiele.

[blueeyedmanda]

I did like Amanda's performance and I liked Carly but the others all just blurred together. I think it is going to be the guys year.

[dlp252]

I thought overall almost everyone did better this week, with a couple of exceptions. I think Amanda did way better this week. But I also agree that there are only a couple of standouts.

I agree with Danny...I'm not fond of him, lol.

It will be interesting to see who goes this week. I think Kadi(sp?) will go for the girls, but not sure who else.

[blueeyedmanda]

Amanda looks much better when her blonde hair is not showing too....it makes her look a little scary.

Ramiele kind of annoys me too but I am not sure why....

[Green12]

I am hoping for the guys it's Luke and Danny that go. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I like the other 6 guys too much

Out of the girls I have no idea who will go, I agree with you Amanda outside of Amanda and Carly the rest of them just kind of blurred together. I think song selection hurt them because they obviously all can sing pretty well.

I agree. Definitely Kadi's time to go. I don't know who else for the girls, though.

I, obviously, want Danny to go. Who's Luke? I guess I missed him.

He sang the Wham! song and was the first to sing on Tuesday.

Here's my take on Danny . . . he acts/speaks/has an attitude like a drag queen. Now, don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed drag queen performers, but part of the entertainment is the over-the-top costuming/make-up/hair. If he's going to act like a drag queen then I want the complete package!!! . . . ohhhh, just had a thought . . . perhaps American Idol won't let him.

What I am affraid is going to happen, possibly, is Danny will be kept on for the shock factor to keep us talking, kind of like the "Sanjaya" of this season....which means someone truly talented will be kicked off like Michael Johns

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as I watched the men the other night.

I don't think it would be Michael Johns . . . he's not close enough to the "bottom". Probably Jason, who I really like, but he's a little different and I can see him not having enough supporters.

[dlp252]

I just went over to the "vote for the worst" site just to see who they were promoting and it was Danny and Amanda. So those two will be getting lots of votes that they normall wouldn't. I'm a little surprised that they think Amanda is the worst though.

Fabulous

Like you, that does surprise me about Amanda though.

[Darn210]

Actually, I'm not an Amanda fan but I don't think she deserves the "vote for the worst" nomination. I think she should be in the top 12 but after Carly the rest are just the rest.

OMG I was just going to tell you guys about Danny being on the vote for the worst site....you beat me to it

I hope it's not Michael Johns, he's lovely to look at. Mango and I would be devastated

Jason Castro though has a lot of youg girls crushing on him, I read the AI boards

Actually, I'm not an Amanda fan but I don't think she deserves the "vote for the worst" nomination. I think she should be in the top 12 but after Carly the rest are just the rest.

I don't know if I am an Amanda fan either per se, she just has a really strong voice and makes an impression/impact along with Carly.

[Guhlia]

I was so excited that Jason Castro did a Leonard Cohen song. Cohen is probably my favorite artist of all time. His rendition was amazing. I'm not a big fan of Castro, but he really did that song justice.

I was really sad to see Danny go. I guess I was the only one who liked him. I thought he was really funny and added a lot of character to the show. I definitely wasn't sad to see Kady go though. She and Luke irked me.

How about Brooke White this week? WOW!!! I definitely don't like her usually, but she absolutely blew me away this week. She and David Cook. Wow wow wow...
