Boo-Hiss to American Idol (& the voters)

Exactly...I knew that a black person (read: not a mixed person) wouldn't win...esp a Black girl)...No offense, but Justin is only there still b/c girls (esp. those teeny-bopper N'Sync and Backstreet Boys lovers :rolleyes: ) think he's cute, which makes me :D yet :mad: b/c he's taking my home skillet's spot!!! They (America) are not ready for Tamyra! Nikki got the sympathy vote (which ain't right either b/c we're all struggling! :mad:

That's alright, cuz Tamyra is a true star. She's the epitome of class and grace, and possesses a style all her own. I know she'll go far...

Shoot, if JD or Dallas Austin (or some other ATL producer) was smart, they'd already have her signed to their label!!!!

Cna y'all tell I'm really pissed?!

Okay, I am really about to cry right now. I had to miss American Idol this week because I have had so much to do on campus. I did not know that Tamyra was voted off until I just read this thread. I am so hurt. I was just sure that Nikki would be the one to go because she really is out of her league and she's always in the bottom two or three. I figured that since RJ was finally gone (who, by the way, lasted far too long himself), Nikki would have to be the next to go because she is nowhere near as talented as anyone else left.

Tamyra is so talented. Even though she didn't win, I'll bet that she still gets a record deal. She might even get one from Simon himself. He likes her more than anyone else and has been saying that she is the most worthy of a deal. I just hope some record company executive out there was paying attention. Tamyra ought to be a superstar.

oneinamillion 08-24-2002 01:28 PM

Randy Jackson said that he will be sure to see that she makes it in this business. So her phone is probably ringing off the hook. If I was her I'd be calling LA Reid or Clive Davis. Don't worry she's in the http://www.uniquehardware.co.uk/serv...nym/dollar.gif

AKA2D '91 08-24-2002 02:07 PM

I heard...
 
I read on the internet (lol) that Simon supposedly has a deal ready for Tamyra.

He admitted on Regis and Kelly that he thought Kelly would win and that he had a crush :o on Tamyra. Maybe her early exit was so that they could start a "romance". :o

Wow...Simon likes him some Black girls, huh? He likes his coffee dark, w/ just a bit of creamer...:D Remember how he had a crush on Christina (maybe whoever wrote what you read online made a mistake and was really talking about Christina? :confused: )?

Well, you know what they say happens when you go "Black"! ;)

I heard that on the radio this morning 2D...supposedly Tamyra was signed before she even got kicked off. There is some "fine print" in the contracts they signed that the final 10 could be offered a deal before the show was over.

See...she's already on her way then :D I heard the name of the record company is Najee Entertainment or something. We'll see.

FeeFee 08-26-2002 11:59 AM

Tamyra was on Good Day New York this morning. She mentioned that there will be an American Idol tour coming soon and that all 10 finalists will be on the tour. :D :D :D

kissy324 08-27-2002 09:04 AM

I saw on the news yesterday, that she was in fact signed, but on the contract, it stated that she cannot release her first CD, until the American Idol winner releases his or her's.

I have been watching almost every show that has said something about tamyra this week. I am not even excited about idol any more.. But she and simon went on ryan seacrest's radio show the nigh after she got the boot. And I guess simon has pretty much signed her. They can't put ink to paper yet because they have to wait three months. The top three of idol were suppose to start recording. Then the night the idol is announced the cd is supposed to go into rushed mass production. :p

JinglesSpr99 08-28-2002 08:34 PM

It is official.. on the fox news out of indianapolis reported that tamyra will be signing with studio 19 or 18. They are a label owend by mtv. It was funny I was watching extra's segment called the world according to simon and this is what happened.. Ryan seacrest asked him what did he think of last night. Simon shook his head and said i miss tamyra. I look kept looking at nikki thing you should not be here.. lol:p :p :p :p :p :p

kissy324 08-29-2002 08:50 AM

YEAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Nikki's gone! Nikki's gone!! :D :D :D

AKA2D '91 08-29-2002 07:49 PM

Who do you think will win?
 
I think Justin will win. Who actually is calling and voting? I'm sure it's teeny-bopper GIRLS. He probably has a better chance at winning. That's my opinion. I only recently took an interest in the show.

Anyway,

Like a reporter said, all of those who win on shows like this and Star Search, you do not ever hear from them again, it's the loosers who have become famous. For example, Aaliyah, D.C., Justin Timberlake, Alonis Morissette (Star Search) . Think about Showtime at the Apollo...Luther was boo'ed during Amateur Night. Can you believe that? Luther. Even in college Erykah Badu was boo'ed at our Showtime at the Apollo...Grambling Style.
talent show.
So, these shows are not full proof to determine it's "winner's" success or the non-winner's non-success.

CrimsonTide4 09-04-2002 09:12 PM

1. Tamyra, so glad to see you back, but DAYUMIT WHY don't you go back to your afro puffs -- the weave, just say no.

2. Is it just me or is there not one WHOLEHEARTLEDLY MASCULINE MALE among the Top 10? I mean we already knew RJ was a little funny but looking at them all now when they sang, I felt like I was missing something.

3. Quit dragging this isht out pleaaaaaaase just tell me who won so I can carry my azz to bed.

I was just commenting on this to my Mom, lol. These guys are kinda sweet.

I'm sorry but that group sing along thing made me feel like I was watching a very brady variety hour.

And was I the only one who noticed that WIERD brother with the curls? Not Justin's afro, but like curls. That was aaaawful. Ugh!

Now I just be dayumed a soror of yours just said that on a listserve I am on about the Bradys. I was feeling very SUNSHINE DAY.

OOOOOOOOH clawd they are back.

The one with curls is EJ from Florida. He came as an alternate and he lost that very day. He is the male EVE to me -- facial features smashed in.

Honeykiss1974 09-04-2002 09:30 PM

ok, I don't know who is more iritating.....that po' Taylor Dayne wannbe(I can't think of that girl's name with the long hair) or all the guys with too much "Fruit in the Loops".

THANK GOODNESS that painful mess called a "tribute to Motown is over"! :mad: If I was Berry GOrdy, I'd called the producers of American Idol and cuss them out for doing that.

lovelyivy84 09-04-2002 09:48 PM

LMAO@ fruit in the loops

I just realised what Justin reminds me of-

a Muppet.

I can't remember which one, but that hair is DISTINCTLY muppet.

Honeykiss1974 09-04-2002 09:52 PM

I knew it would be Kelly. BOOOOO LOSER VOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

CrimsonTide4 09-04-2002 09:52 PM

**showing HK1974 and LovelyIvy84 the DST EXIT door** :D

GET OUT!!! LMAO @ you all's comments. But HKiss you are right about Ryan Starr acting like the Wal Mart version of Taylor Dayne.

That Motown thing was painful PAINFUUUUUUL.

Christina get rid of that damn flip looking like ROCKY the Squirrel.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO Kelly beat Justin.

oneinamillion 09-04-2002 09:53 PM

well kelly won!
 
oh well it was nothing else on television and I had to watch. I see Kelly won! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It should have been Tamyra. They need to do away with the 2 stupid host. Those 2 losers get on my nerves.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I can't wait til Tamyra releases her hit.....she'll show them what time it really is...Whitney style!!!!

Honeykiss1974 09-04-2002 09:59 PM

True @ oneinamillion. TAMYRA should have won, but
que cera, cera :rolleyes: . I really did care that much for Justin or Kelly, but to me, Justin was the lesser of two evils. :p

RYAN! Thank CT4 for joggin the memory. Ohhh, now she REALLY got on a sistah's nerve. Got me yelling at the tv, "Faylor (fake-@$$ Taylor) sit down!!!!:mad:

lovelyivy84 09-04-2002 09:59 PM

Well Kelly WAS a better singer than Justin, that was quite clear.

I never heard Tamyra past tonight in that Motown spectacle *blech* so I can't say on that point.

me either. :confused: probably BECAUSE THEY KNOOOOOOOOW she was the REAL WINNER who deserves to win. :mad:

DELTAQTE 09-05-2002 03:19 AM

tonight
 
Ok WHY am I at my radio station and we have already played Kelly's new song "Moment like this" twice tonight?? The dang thing just went off a few hours ago! Wow they work fast!

Anyway I must say that I LOVE Ryan(fake Taylor Dane)and her stomach. Man I need to start on that diet TONIGHT!!

Notice that everytime Nikki sang, no one got hyped up in the crowd? But they did for Tamarya! Everytime she sang a note, they screamed. I REALLY think the battle would have been better if it had been between her and Kelly.

R.J. got a lot of screams also. He might have a short lived solo career.

Did this REALLY have to be 2 hours? They just prolonged the ish so long, I almost turned it off.

I loved Justin, but towards the end, he was getting on my nerves, there was something a little too innocent and "oh my gosh!" for me. Kelly has the total package and I think she will have a big career if she has the right PR behind her.

I agree, some of those renditions were horrible!

But I can't wait for American Idol 2;)

CrimsonTide4 09-05-2002 05:30 AM

RJ looked like (with his dancing) he had just left his auditions to be a member of FrontStreet Boys or Out of Sync -- he really looked like he had watched old school MJJ videos.


JUstin was just toooooo gracious and it was annoying as heck.

Heck yes they have been dragging that show out for weeks. I wanted to kill those hosts last night -- can we tell that THIS was the end of their 15 minutes of fame and they were milking it. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO BINCHES get off the stage!! :p

It was soooo good to see TAM ICK A again last night and the "Spoken Word" version of SILENT NIGHT. I hollered more last night than I did when he first did that mess. OH and the "retard" who thought he was the best (blue pants wearing boys) -- my GOODNESS is he on drugs or missing a chromosome.

kissy324 09-05-2002 10:07 AM

I'm not going to hate on Kelly, I think the girl can sing. I would have rather seen Tamyra win, but since she was eliminated (unfortunately), Kelly SHOULD have won.

I'm just really happy to see that Tamyra has a contract, and will be releasing her own CD. She deserves it.

A Muppet - I can't get over that one!!! Not right, not right at all!!

:D :D :D

I heard Kelly's single on the radio this morning. I was surprised that it's reallly blowing up on the radio already...less than 12 hours after the show ended. The single is really good. The production was done very well and Kelly sounds awesome. I'm glad she won...though I agree that I would have rather seen Tamyra and Kelly in the final two..it would have made for a much better final show.

vanda 09-05-2002 11:57 AM

I really wanted Tamyra to take it, but Kelly is cool. I hope they don't make her go on a diet to become stick thin and get all of that other cosmetic stuff done to be the "idol". They could have kept that first hour because it really wasn't necessary. The guys performing California Girls really weirded me out. There was absolutely no sex appeal when they were performing. (In my Randy voice) Justin, Justin, Justin, dude, you are so not sexy.

oneinamillion 09-05-2002 05:17 PM

Same judges for AI2?
 
will they have the same judges for AI2...I hope so. I just love Simon, Paula, and Randy; they're the perfect blend.

At least his hair was marginally better than brotha with the curls. Ugh on that one! It might not be NICE, but can you really say I'm not right?

I think the muppet I'm thinking of was in the band???? Maybe one of the goblins from labyrinth?

Hmm, I'll have to think about it.

Ok can I get my CLOWN on with Randy real fast?

Remember at the start of the show, Randy was the T-Shirt wearing judge? Just kicking it?

Now at the finale he looking like a broke down Bishop Majic Don Juan! He was blowing kisses to the crowd and everything. I was like "Let the 15 minutes begin!":rolleyes:

Soror I said the same thing. I had never heard of THIS Randy Jackson before and I wagered that he was only known in studios and restaurants but now he really was acting like HE was THE AMERICAN IDOL. Booooooooo hiss. .. . oh and Randy stick to eating mustard and not wearing the color.:p

JinglesSpr99 09-06-2002 02:41 PM

For all of you that have heard the songs how do you like them. Justin keeps saying (in a nice way) I could never sing those songs right..they were not written for me. Meanwhile it is friday and kelly is number one on amazon. com. I really like the duet with tamyra and justin :):p :p

Randy Jackson
 
Randy Jackson is the producer of several well known R&B and Rock bands. He was aslo the bassist and background vocalist for the group Journey during the late 80s early nineties. You thought he was a sight Wednesday night, you should have seen him back then in neon pink spandex pants and A spikey hairdo.

Y'all need to leave Justin alone! He is so cute to me (don't ask me why :confused: )...Justin is very gracious--but I think he's really genuinely that way. Every time I hear or see him he's full of positivity. He was on the radio station in my area the day after the show and he was the same way. And, I'm glad Kelly won, as opposed to Justin, b/c she is a better singer than him.

When I was watching "Extra!", Simon said the hosts aren't reallythat cheesy, the show's producers just give them cheesy lines (but nevertheless they still work your nerves).

Lastly, TAM ICK A made me cringe when I saw her ignorant, busted azz on tv making "us" (black folx) look bad...She needs to focus on pressing her hair instead of how folx pronounce her name...Those rejects had me busting up, esp. the silent night guy...

Anywhoo, I'll be watching American Idol 2 and waiting to see what good things are in the works for Tamyra (I liked her hair better than Christina's--her ish was on uggg (ugly)...
