American Idol 8/28

There was a thread on this last week, but there was a new episode last night, so let's start another here....

Anyone see the show last night? Thoughts? Comments? Predictions?


My personal thoughts: Justin did great, Kelly is a babe, and Nikki will be gone after tonight's show. 😀
 
Nikki needs to go. Just awful.

Kelly's a cutie with a great voice.

Justin's got the homo look down, but the dude can sing. With all the 13 year old girls watching and voting, he will win.

my 2 cents
 
Sorry to crap, but I'm proud to say I've never seen an episode of American Idol. I didn't even know it was a big deal until the media made it a big deal. Once the third season of Survivor started, I was through with reality-based shows.

hehe..."homo look" LOL
Every time I see him I think of Sideshow Bob
But you're right, he can sing - that rendition of Let's Stay Together was phenomenal.

Well, not everyone has to like it. I've liked it more and more since they keep getting rid of the worst singers. The first few episodes were painful to watch some of those people were so bad. But the top ten (or at least the top five) are top quality singers, so it's not like just watching a big karaoke competition.

The show just seems like an attempt for some record producer to find the next Britney Spears/Justin Timberlake clone. That's all we DON'T need. 😕😉

SEEMS LIKE? That is EXACTLY what it is!

I have watched the show. I can say that I have NEVER watched Survivor or any of that other crap. I think that the contestants are VERY talented. Kelly is one of the best singers that I have ever heard.
 
Since this contest will be decided by the general public, a lot of it will depend on popularity. If it were to be judged by professionals in the music industry, then true talent will be the key.

Jason has that Richard Simmons 'fro.

Kelly can sing, but she has that "babyface mouth-open half-smile" thing going. Some people may think that's cute. I find it annoying.

Nikki is hot. I love that wildchild red hair she has.

In the end, I think Kelly will win it.

But at least this new clone will have some talent and a decent singing voice.
 
The first few shows were pretty funny. I was tripping out on how the judges comments. At times, they were ruthless. And at times, the contestants would say something back.
 
I watched my first episode yesterday. That Kelly girl can sing! Wow!

When she sang that Mariah Carey song......dang. I love that song.

Oh yeah, that was a great song she sang. And she sang the hell out of it - not just a carbon copy of a Mariah rendition of it, but her own stylings, her own inflections. That's why she should win. I'm sure she'll win - she's the only contestant who hasn't been in the bottom two or three in the voting.
 
Of the few times I have seen the show, Kelly has been amazing. That is one heck of a talented singer!
Nikki, in my opinion, has only made it this far because of her "image." She is not another Britney and would be something different. I mean, what else could it be? The girl cannot sing! She hits way too many bad notes. I shudder listening to her, which is not something I try and do! 🙂

Nikki was actually quite good last night, and has been better than before for the last few weeks. But I still think she's not good enough to be in the top three. She sings very nasally, and sharps a lot of notes because she doesn't have good breath or voice control. But she does have style, even though she doesn't really play to the audience very well. My vote still goes to Kelly.
 
When I listen to the other two singers, I think of contestants trying to win a singing competition. When I hear Kelly, I think she's a professional singer.

Of course, I haven't watched any shows before this one. Wasn't that black girl who just got voted off, supposed to have been really good as well?

Tamyra was astonishingly good. I'm still surprised she was voted off. Not only was her singing top notch, but she was more of a performer than Kelly. I think Kelly's voice is better, or at least more tuned and in better control, but Tamyra had more of the total package.

So, the voting and elimination is entirely up to the voting from the 866 numbers?

What are the judges for?
 
<crap>
Last night I was invited up to the all girls floor to watch this piece of trash. They all eat it up but IMO it's crap. The hosts are some of the worst in recorded history for one. The last one who sung was the best as well, but I think they all sucked in general (first one especially...HOW did she make it that far). The judges are pretty uninspired and generic with their comments as well. What's the point of them anyway if people do the voting?

Just general CRAP. The only good thing about that experience was me + 2 other guys + 15 girls in their PJs 😉
</crap>

They started out with 10000 contestants and the judges narrowed them down to 30, which is where the public took over the voting. Since the public started voting and the judges stopped, their job has been basically to provide the insight into the song for the voting audience, provide encouragement to the singers, and to sometimes make asses of themselves on live TV.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Nikki needs to be singing country or country-rock. Maybe folk. At any rate, she is no pop star.

It doesn't matter anyway, kiddies with dialing machine spammers are making the difference here. The whole thing is a sham.
 
What do those two schmoes, at the end of each judges' critiques, do? The blonde one, and the one that looks like a girl? Why do they need two hosts to say, "Call 1-866-blah-blah"? Did they have a role in the early shows?
