American Idol

exactly she soooo annoying even if her voice is good, she acts like she's better than she actually is I hope she's out soon I can't stand her.

I totally agree and like you I also like Danny and Alexis is growing on me :lol: .

They showed a very short clip that said he went out during the group round and it wasn't focused on too much it's a shame I really liked him, He had an awesome voice in my opinion but can't judge if the judges made the right decision in sending him home since they choose not to show his groups performance which is annoying.

I'm not sure but I did hear some at an American Idol board I visit say so maybe someone else can clarify how they'll do this.

 

^ Yep, they're doing a Wildcard show to fill the last 3 spots. I haven't heard if they'll maybe put 4 through instead, but the last I heard, it was 3.

This season seems very...season 1. Only a handful of talent, wildcard week, a bit of interview awkwardness and smoothing out the edges technical-wise/routine-wise. Why does this season seem to amateurish very me? It probably is just me though.

Anyway, aside from that I'm enjoying this season aside from the blatant showcasing of who they think will probably make it to top 10. I would have liked to actually see more of Hollywood week and less dramaz. I swear, I hadn't even heard of half the people they put through until the reveal of who was getting into the top 36.

As it stands, Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert are my favourites this season so hopefully they make it at least to top 5. I was a bit spoiled by David Cook so I'm not getting my hopes up that my favourite will win again. :lol:

Omygosh. Tatiana. That girl is not only annoying, but like others have said, she thinks she's better than she is and she's desperate to be famous and 'market' herself, as she put it. She has a good voice but I can't get over that she changed so drastically from auditions-Hollywood week to now. :wtf: Not that she actually 'changed', I think the whole thing was just to make her noticable and maybe there's something else going on but I'm glad she didn't make it to the top 12. I don't think she'd make it through each results week. :lol: Who knows, maybe she'll be a wildcard though, heh.

 

I seriously hope not she bothers me more than that one from a season or two ago who people thought there were inappropriate pics of on the web, only they turned out not to be her, just a lookalike. :lol: I can't remember her name lol. It was just weird with Tatiana though. She made such a drastic change it seemed like a completely different person (or different personality) and I can't help but think one or the other was put on (like Norman/Nick- although he's funny and I kind of like him in a way lol).

I hope for the wildcards they choose Anoop for one. And when the judges had those two blondes do a sing off, Kristen and I can't remember the other one's name (Jennifer maybe?), but I liked her better than Kristen personally. so, I hope she's brought back as a wildcard... and I hope Cody or Jamar [or is it Jamal?] (Danny's friend) are brought back as wildcards.

 

Honestly, I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic :lol:. But, in case you're being serious:

Personally, I think voting for someone in a singing (or dancing) contest just because they're attractive (and only for that reason) would be an insult to them. It's a singing competition. They should be voted for only based on their singing... nothing more, nothing less. While there was a certain contestant last season that I did find attractive, I didn't expect him to win and I actually thought one of girls should have won, but that's just me. Although I like DC and always knew he should be in the Top 3. It was a shock to me that he won because I thought they were going to let DA win.

I do sometimes feel the voting is rigged. It's why I didn't vote this week. :lol: I know for a fact that they've blocked some of the contestants numbers before so people can't vote for them. Because the next day that person will be voted off. And it's like... wait a minute, I thought they said if you can't get through that means too many are voting. And then you think, well if too many were voting, why is that person voted off? :lol:

I mean, you see by the record sales of the ones who didn't win doing better than the ones who did (with the exception of year one and last year). That should be an indication that the voting is either rigged or people are voting for the contestants for the wrong reasons. :lol:


Actually, Danny isn't the one bringing up his wife the most. Sure he misses her (that's perfectly normal) and mentions her at times (also VERY normal) because the pain of losing her is still too raw for him and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, it's absolutely 100% perfectly normal. However, he doesn't mention her as much as everyone else does. It's other people: the judges, his friends, etc. The reason its mentioned so much on the show is because "the producers of the show have decided to focus more on the contestants' personal lives this season". And that's a direct quote from TV Guide, so...

I honestly wouldn't put it past the producers to have told him specifically to mention her more. They probably did do that. Therefore, it wouldn't be his fault. I know for a fact that talk shows do this sort of thing. I have family members who actually went on a talk show one time (well, technically they were in-laws, but whatever lol) and one of them actually told me afterward that the producers of the talk show told them both to act like they hated each other when they were actually pretty good friends. :lol: So, if a talk show can do it, its completely plausible to me that AI's producers would too. Why do you think it is that on practically every "reality" show (and I use the term reality loosely) there's always someone who doesn't get along with someone else and always a big uproar caused because of it and fighting and what not? The point is, all of these reality shows use gimmicks of some sort. AI's gimmick is the hardships of its contestants.

And did you notice on the auditions how many contestants had a "sob story" (as my brother calls it)? It was like every episode, there was at least one or two who had some kind of sad story. I wish the producers hadn't decided to focus more on that. This isn't a drama show, it's a musical entertainment show. If I wanna see drama, I'll watch drama series, you know? :lol:

I'm not 100% convinced that some of the "bad" auditions aren't scripted. I mean, the same thing happens several times. There's been at least two times (as far as I can remember) that someone has come to the auditions saying they quit their job for this and they end up being bad at the singing and then Simon calls their boss to ask the boss to give the person their job back. Come on! Give me a break! Do they really think we don't catch on to these things? :lol:

However, I still like to watch the singing. I found myself agreeing with Simon on everything he said the other night (and that never happens, usually I only agree with him some of the time lol), well except I would never be that "mean". :lol:

Norman should get his own sitcom. :lol: He cracks me up. Maybe he should have auditioned for that comedian show is it Last Comic Standing? :lol: He actually does have a decent voice when he's being serious. Reminds me a bit of Jim Carrey (not lookswise). By that I mean he's funny and he can sing. :lol: Although the sweatband bugs me for some unknown reason. :lol:

 

I liked Adam and Alison. I kind of liked the tall, bald headed dude too what was his name? The one that is a blue collar worker or something? I didn't agree with the judges comments about him. I thought he did well and wasn't boriing at all. I can't remember for the life of me what he sang now though. but then again my memory is faulty. :lol: I kind of like Jasmine a little too, but Alison is the best girl in this group in my opinion. Adam is the best guy.

 

Yeah it wasn't a very exciting night compared to last week. :lol: Though a lot of the contestants last week were "forgettable" to quote Simon, but most of them this week were even more so.

I'm with you about Nick/Norman. He had a good voice and while I find him funny sometimes, I was really hoping he'd come out to sing as himself rather than his character. It really disappointed me.

I wasn't crazy about the way that one boy sang that Michael Jackson song though.

 

Alison was clearly the best female singer on there this week with Jasmine in a close second, but then again the group was a bit weaker than last week's group. However, I don't think Alison will win. If I had to say right now, I'd say the finale would be Alexis and Danny and if that's the case, I'd be fine with either of them winning just like I was year one with Kelly and Justin, although Kelly is the better singer, but I liked them both. Season one was the only one where I didn't mind which one of the final two won.
