Melinda is great, but not really a stand-out, and Blake, well, when he actually SINGS, I think he has a throaty quality that could make him a good singer, but great.

I say yea for Jordin! :)
I second your post! I'm voting for Jordin!:)

I stopped watching simply because none of the singers held my interest as performers. They just weren't entertaining enough for me to watch. I'll try again next season but who knows. AI doesn't have the same impact on me it used to have.

SSS1365 05-12-2007 08:33 PM
I think Blake will go next. Think about it... LaKisha's votes are certainly not going to go to him. Most likely they'll be split between Melinda and Jordin(with majority of those going to Melinda).

I agree that AI lost its lustre a while ago... maybe after AI4. The only seasons I have really enjoyed are 1, 2, and 4. I wonder how much longer it will go on?

I wonder that too.

Personally, I didn't feel LaKisha was a fantastic singer. I was one of those who felt all she does is scream and belt out into a microphone. Other people think she sings great.

There was a time I thought Blake was pretty alright, but that feeling is pretty much gone for me too. Some people are really into his beat-boxing or whatever it's called.

I agree that the last idol (Taylor) is a complete failure, but Carrie Underwood (who I think won before he did?) is selling a phenomenal amount of CDs.

I do think that AI has lost it's sparkle, but mainly because the talent pool recently seems to have been running dry and several people in the last couple of seasons got record deals anyway. If this is a competition is to 'win a recording contract' and 2 or 3 people in the top 5 got record contracts anyway, what's the whole point? Just my .02 though
I agree. It is all a matter of perspective. I guess that is the one thing that makes AI so interesting. Always wondering who the world is going to pick.

Any thoughts on last night? I thought it was one big Meh. It's like I don't really care, but I still watch it every week. :o

Sophist08edLady 05-16-2007 12:29 PM
Melinda rocked. I think if this is it, Melinda and Blake deserve to move
on. I love Jordin but she didn't bring it the same as the other two. She
is in trouble! I can't wait to see who stays!

RBL 05-16-2007 12:50 PM
This season was a bust IMO.. but I do watch faithfully...lol

I think Melinda and Blake should be the Final 2. Jordin was ok but she never really vocally did it for me. that horrid breathing in the mic she does kills me. She needs a bit more time and also she needs a musical identity

VAgirl18 05-16-2007 01:02 PM
the only performances that i really liked yesterday were blake's second song and melinda's last song.

irishpipes 05-16-2007 01:52 PM
I think it must sound a lot different there in the theater than it does over the tv. I am a Melinda fan but I thought her first song was horrible and the judges just went ape over it. I enjoyed Blake's second and third songs, but he just isn't a great vocalist - just an entertaining guy.

Same here. I was waiting for Simon to tell her that she can't hit the high notes and her vocals were all the over the place. Instead he told her that it was one of her best performances. What?!

adpiucf 05-16-2007 02:33 PM
I was in the audience during a taping of Season 1 (toward the end of the season). They sounded way different live than on TV!

PeppyGPhiB 05-16-2007 07:27 PM
If so many of you think the show has lost its luster, or that the season has been a bust, why do you continue to watch it every week? By doing that all you're doing is rewarding crap.

I used to be a faithful watcher of AI (Grey's Anatomy too), but only watch the performance nights on occasion now. I never watch the results shows. Why did I stop watching? All the product placement and manufactured drama drove me crazy. I found it insulting.

If you're not entertained by a TV show like AI, don't watch it! If you continue to do so, all we'll get is sucky TV. Demand better options!

ZTAngel 05-16-2007 10:00 PM
Wow.

Well, I think it's safe to say that Jordin won. There's no way the producers will allow another gimmicky contestant who can't sell records win AI.

KatieKate1244 05-16-2007 10:03 PM
Wow, indeed. Did Taylor Hicks even release an album? I can't remember hearing anything about it. Katherine McPhee's stuff isn't too bad (but is forgettable). I agree Jordin will win.

And Simon and them got their wish tonight.

texas*princess 05-17-2007 07:43 AM
I'm glad Melinda is gone... she reminded me a little too much of Shrek for some reason and I didn't see the whole super-awesome thing about her.

I don't see that for Blake or Jordin either, but Jordin is my fav of the two

Unregistered- 05-17-2007 05:33 PM
I still fail to see the Jordin hype, and I'm sorry...I hope I never have to hear "I WHO HAVE NOTHING" ever again. I feel like slitting my wrists each time I freaking hear it.

Melinda doesn't need American Idol. I'm sure her cell phone's been ringing off the hook since last night.

Two things from last night's show:

Elliot Yamin should have won Season 5. I still love love love him and have y'all heard his new CD out? It's great, and I am so glad he re-did Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You."

I still love Maroon 5, but they were so much better when they were Kara's Flowers. :(

All votes to Blake next week for me...just because he doesn't fit the AI package all ya'll think the AI winner should be.

LeslieAGD 05-17-2007 09:33 PM
What is the name of the song that Elliot Yamin sang last night?
It was very good! I liked it, and would enjoy hearing it again.

"Wait For You" -- I ended up buying the whole CD not too long ago because it really is good!

pinkies up 05-17-2007 10:06 PM
I'm for Blake. Jordin is just too broadway for me. Blake has a good sound and will definately record well.

PeppyGPhiB 05-17-2007 10:14 PM
So after all the flack from the judges and FOX about the Seattle auditions, we end up with two finalists from the Seattle auditions?!

I liked it too and thought his look was better now. I think if he'd looked like that during his season, he'd have gone even further than he did. He looked so odd when he was in the competition.

irishpipes 05-17-2007 11:08 PM
Has Bucky taken notes from Elliot that teeth can indeed be fixed?

Really? I thought it was really boring.

And I think he should cut his hair a bit - it's a little too long. And it doesn't seem he's used to his new teeth (which are a bit too bright!). And did he seem high or something to anyone else? He just was acting a bit weird/awkward when talking to Ryan.

Yes, I'm being very judgemental today for some reason! :p

I agree... he does look better. But it still isn't "him". His hair was too Josh Groban for my taste, and his teeth, while better, are a bit too big and bright. I think he's still looking for the look that suits him, and who knows if he'll ever find it. At least he's making progress!

OneBadZeta02 05-18-2007 03:35 PM
American Idol now sux!
 
I love Elliot Yamin, but his hair is horrible. I understand he's trying to find his nitch but the hair isn't it. I'm upset that Melinda is gone because she has THE BEST voice of the 3 reguardless of what she looks like. She's going to have a luxurious career. I will not be watching the finale but I'm sure I will hear about it...:mad:

OneTimeSBX 05-22-2007 08:22 PM
is ANYONE watching the finale right now of Idol??

someone tell Randy that General Custer wants his jacket back lmao!

Way to make it seem really obvious that you want Jordin to win, Producers!

AOIIalum 05-23-2007 07:25 AM
This really sums up the night for me:

Whoa. Missed the show last night. What happened that made them give those looks?

Princess Jordin singing the coronation song. Put it this way, this year's song makes "A Moment Like This" sound like a masterpiece of modern music.

ZTAngel 05-23-2007 07:49 AM
I thought Jordin sounded terrible last night but the judges were kissing her butt. I thought Blake sounded horrible as well.

This season was the worst one yet. I really hope they make some changes for next year or else they're going to lose a lot of viewers. I use to be an AI junkie but I didn't even realize the finale was on last night until I flipped through the recorded shows on my DVR and saw it. I fast forwarded through all the garbage - including a bunch of Blake's and Jordin's songs. I just couldn't listen to them butcher another song.

I am excited that "So You Think You Can Dance?" starts up again on Thursday. I like that show more!

So true. So true.

RBL 05-23-2007 08:35 AM
Once my favorite show on TV.. American Idol was the worst thing on TV this season. HORRIBLE FINAL 2.

Thank goodness for Heroes

PM_Mama00 05-23-2007 09:09 AM
Finale? I thought they announce it tonight?

xo_kathy 05-23-2007 10:16 AM
They do. But last night was the "finale" because it was their last performance.

I don't get the looks in the pic. She wasn't flawless, but she sang that cheesy ass song pretty well. Heck of a lot better than Blake. Seriosuly, Blake doesn't have a very good voice at all. Did he hit any of the high notes in that Maroon 5 song? And that's supposed to be "his" genre.

Horrible finale, though. Boring. There was one good point...
They didn't bring out the gospel choir for the final song!!! :rolleyes:

ETA: Don't get me wrong, I luvs me a good gospel choir, but I've always thought it was really dumb to use in all the Idol finales.
