Okay, who goes home? This week will be tough

[idolsmidol]

:confused: With Paris and Elliott giving two excellent perfomances, and Chris and Kat giving one very good and one shaky and Taylor being Taylor--Who do you think goes home?

[bobbybennett]

paris, she kind of sucked.

[Fan-tastic]

I though Elliot was weak tonight. My money is on him to head home.

[idolsmidol]

I thought she sang the s*** out of both of her songs, performances were strong and she was fearless.

[bobbybennett]

Paris is way behind on dial idol.

[FalseIdol]

Dial Idol---which was wrong again last week.

[idolsmidol]

That's a shame. Helen is right. Tomorrow is going to be painful no matter who leaves.

[bobbybennett]

yeah, but it was close.

[bobbybennett]

That's a shame. Helen is right. Tomorrow is going to be painful no matter who leaves.


Not so painful when Paris leaves.

[Miss Lolita]

i'm still hoping it will be either katharine or paris who goes home

[Magicmarkerman]

i'm still hoping it will be either katharine or paris who goes home


I think it will be Paris or Katharine too...

[MusicLover]

I think it will be Paris or Katharine too...

I'm just sick to death of Paris. The difference between her speaking voice and her singing voice just freaks me out.... I can't get over it...:(

[FalseIdol]

Well, there's a good reason to dislike someone. (sarcasm)

[Ciuma]

Yeah. In all honesty, if it were just tonight - if these singers had no fans - Kat would be so dead. I still hope Paris goes home because Paris is in this competition to figure out her life path... not to win. She can't win and shouldn't win, and that is why I think she should leave, although she is my second fav. and did well tonight.

Although she did well on that Mary J. Blige song, one thing that bothers me is how close she always sounds to the original. At points, she sounds exactly like the original to me. That's not an American idol, IMO, even though it does show how great a singer she is and it's an amazing thing.

[FalseIdol]

if these singers had no fans - Kat would be so dead.

What is your point? That is like saying, "if no one voted, we couldn't have an election." Makes no sense.

I still hope Paris goes home because Paris is in this competition to figure out her life path... not to win. She can't win and shouldn't win, and that is why I think she should leave.

Thank you Dr. Frued. How the heck to you know why Paris is in this competition? Trying to figure out "her life path". Puhleaze. Maybe her life path should be to move to one of those midwestern states you never heard of. :mad:

[yayamiddlesister]

I would say it might be Elliott (even though I think he's a better singer than Paris) or Paris.

[MusicLover]

Well, there's a good reason to dislike someone. (sarcasm)

Well, everyone has this one person in their life that they dislike for a weird reason... She's mine right now!

[Y_Soitenly]

:confused: With Paris and Elliott giving two excellent perfomances, and Chris and Kat giving one very good and one shaky and Taylor being Taylor--Who do you think goes home?

I think Paris will go tomorrow.

Dial Idol---which was wrong again last week. dude, they had the bottom two pegged. They just got the order juxtaposed

[chocolatte]

I think Elliott time is up

[aztecgoods]

I KNOW who's going home tonight, it will either be
Elliot
Paris
Taylor
Kat or
Chris
They all suck, going home is a toss up, with the possible exception of the 2 front runners who I am....ah forget this %$#@!.

[FalseIdol]

I understand his point. The remaining "talent" on this year's A.I. just really isn't much to get excited about.

[MusicLover]

In your opinion. I see your point to an extent, but I still try to be optimistic.

[FalseIdol]

I see your point to an extent, but I still try to be optimistic.

Optimistic about what? That over the next three weeks they will suddenly get better?

The idea that this year's talent pool is somewhat weak is far from an isolated opinion. Do you honestly feel that any of the remaining contestants are as good as Bo Bice or Carrie Underwood?

Does Bo Bice even get any airplay? Kellie and Carrie are definitely the two best that Idol has put out. I think Katharine sings just as well as Carrie, and I've heard some of Chris' pre-Idol music. Bo pales in comparison, IMO.

Taylor's in a different category. Apples to Oranges. He's good, but in a different way. He certainly has a bigger fan base than Kellie or Carrie did at this point in their respective Idol competitions.

[X1TX]

Do you honestly feel that any of the remaining contestants are as good as Bo Bice or Carrie Underwood?

Bo came back as a 'guest Idol' some weeks back and sang. He sounded as bad as Pickles did in her last two weeks. So yes, I think all the remaining contestants are as good as Bo. Carrie on the other hand.........

I havent heard Bo on the radio or anything else for that matter. But i do have to disagree with Kellie and Carrie being the best. The best to me was Fantasia

I have to agree Bo did sound horrible, if he was on American Idol that night as a contestant he would have definitely went home AGAIN!!!..LOL

[AbsentElement]

But i do have to disagree with Kellie and Carrie being the best. The best to me was FantasiaSorry, I should have been more clear. I just meant in terms of record sales, not personal preference. In those terms, Kellie and Carrie are the best two that Idol has put out.

Does Fantasia get much airplay? (serious question... for the most part, I only listen to rock and country stations)

[chocolatte]

Well i guess thats where the difference of opinion comes in because if thats the type of music u listen to then of course your gonna feel like there the best but i listen to rap and r&b and Fantasia album definitely got alot of play. But dont get me wrong just because i dont particularly listen to that type of music i still think Carrie and Kellie have done an exceptional job.

I agree Kellie (not pickles) and Carrie are the best, but I have to differ that Kat is just as good as Carrie, I have never heard Carrie go off pitch, and although I think Kat is the best out of this bunch and is pretty decent, I have heard her go off pitch a BUNCH, as for Anastasia (WHO?) Never heard or saw a video of hers at all. Everytime I flip through the C&W video channel Carrie is playing, and Kellie gets much time on air as well. Not that I have been out trolling for Anastasia videos, didn't think she was the best that year either.

Well first off her name is FANTASIA, and what in the heck is c & w channel, i never heard of that either...maybe if u tune into mtv or bet then u would see one of her videos, i dont see carrie or kellie on mtv and they play all kinds of music

[aztecgoods]

What the %$#@ ever, all I remember about her was that she had a half %$# voice but looked like someone had beat the %$#@ out of her grandparents permanently @#$%ing up their gene pool. The kid looked like Flavor Flavs lost evil twin. And I do watch MTV, you apparently don't because otherwise you would know they don't play videos anymore. Its all reality programming.

[FalseIdol]

Who names their kid Fantasia, anyway?

I have a gorgeous granddaughter, age 3, but my son and daughter-in-law named her Altice!

I said, "What kind of name is that? It sounds like the name of a car. Hey, everyone, come look at my brand new Honda Altice!"

What ever happened to normal names like Fred, Eddie, Mary and Cindy? Oh and if you are a girl and your name ends in a "y" no changing it to an "ie" and putting little heart symbols over the "i's".

Enough is enough. No more Javon's, Shaueneill's or Akmed's. Give your children American names!!

I think there is a misunderstanding here. The opinions I expressed were that Katharine sings as well as Carrie and that Chris sings better than Bo. When I said that Kelly and Carrie were the two best that Idol has put out (in terms of record sales), that was a fact. Kelly's Thankful album was certified double platinum (2 million copies) and her Breakaway album has been certified five-times platinum (that's 5 million copies). That's in the US alone. Carrie's Some Hearts album was certifed double-platinum in less than two months and is now triple-platinum. Fantasia's I Believe album was certified double-platinum and her Free Yourself album was also certified doulbe-platinum. I'm not doubting the success of Fantasia... she's certainly won a fair amount of various awards and sold a heck of a lot of albums. I'm just saying that Kelly and Carrie sold more. Not saying that they're better artists than Fantasia. That's why Billboard's charts are categorized. Otherwise you'd be comparing apples to oranges.

I'm with you on that one. Some people just aren't into diversity. After watching last week's NFL draft, I'm changing my first name to "D'Brickashaw" What an awesome name.

I really wanna see Taylor go home. Taylor does not belong there. All that dancing on stage and then dropping to the gorund at the end was just stupid. Compared to the other people he doesn't have it. I think Taylor is safe tonight though. I hate to say it, but I think Paris or Elliot are going to go.

dancing on stage is part of performing, would u rather he just stand there stiff as a bored. he wants to stand out and be noticed thats how u make a name for yourself. if everybody did the exact same thing wouldnt that be a boring show would we even be talking about it at all

I think the point is that most people like watching people dance, if they CAN dance, what Taylor does is well, I don't know exactly how to describe that, I know dancing when I see it and that ain't dancing. Taylor's "dancing" looks like someone dropped a hot coal in his underware and he's trying to shake it out. But don't let me discourage you from participating in this forum.

Look, if FlorenceNightengaleMusicLover feels she needs to name her kid "Heinz 57 Steak Sauce" it is no skin off my nose. I'm not going to be the one to have to explain to the kid why her classmates try to beat the crap out of her every day.


Eh, fitting in sucks. Anyway, I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have someone like me for a member.

Thank you Groucho.

That line is almost as good as what Victor Mature said when the Los Angeles Country Club, which has a long standing policy against allowing actors to join, turned down his membership:

I'm no actor. And I have the films to prove it!

How do you know? My brother is 46 and STILL pulls that routine.

Couldn't agree more. There's no such thing as "normal" anyway, so why try to conform to what society thinks you should do?:p

It's a different spelling. Check "Annaleise." Or "Annaleese." Or about 5 other ways to spell it. It's pronounced Ahna-leese. Smart Butt.:D

I like it, but I like my Andromeda better. Or how about 7?

You can name your children that when you have them...:D

I'm too selfish, focused on myself, self absorbed and imature to have children. Remember, its all about ME. (And by the way this conversation effects me how?)

You'd be shocked as to how many people use those exact character traits as a justification to HAVE children.

I also hear they are expensive and I am also a miser, although I do spend some of my money on my girlfriend. Every other weekend I buy the condoms.

Yes, kids are expensive. Especially when they get to be in their teens. Their toys are more expensive.

See I knew I was right, my friends that have been married with kids (all now divorced) tell me that I was a genius for not getting married. Oh well I don't know if I would go that far, but....

To say nothing of their braces, prom dresses, athletic equipment, speeding tickets, etc. etc. etc.
