Ahhhh...get it now. Didn't mean to join on the "gay" bandwagon. I thought I had missed something along the way. Whatever his personal reasons were, they must be good though.

Mario was on Live w/ Regis & Kelly. He said the show wasn't for him and compared it to falling out of love. Regis didn't seem to buy it. Kelly asked about being contracted to Fox, and Mario said he couldn't discuss that.

I just found out about this. Interesting....

The top 12, and what each of them needs to do to win:

Some of the song suggestions are a little strange, IMO.

I thought so too. As much as I love Nadia's voice, for some reason I can't see her singing "Free Your Mind" from En Vogue :p

My favorite performances of tonight:

* Anwar
* Nadia

My absolute LEAST favorites of the night:

*ConstantScream
*Mikaleh
*Lindsey

What is up w/ the judges! THey were kinda mean today :p

My favorites from tonight:
Nadia
Bo
Scott

My least favorite from tonight:
Lindsey
Mikalah
Anthony
Constantine (there wouldn't be a least favorite list without him!)

I LOVED how Bo just jumped off the stage!!!!

Honestly, no one really stepped up tonight. The judges were right on. It was just so....boring.

HORRIBLE: Mikalah. "Son of a Preacher Man" has been done on every damn season of AI. I don't know why you felt the need to do what's already been done. Also, don't bare your midriff if you don't have a perfect one. Many AI contestants can get their votes based on looks alone...unfortunately you have none because you looked like a fucking Kewpie doll tonight.

THE SURPRISE: ConstanSCREAM. I haven't converted and I still don't like the guy, but he was actually pretty decent. I just didn't like how he felt like there was a need to molest the camera.

THE ONE I FEAR THE MOST: Jessica. I always get afraid that her boobs are gonna poke through the TV screen. I like her voice though, it's smooth.

Lindsey and Carrie continue to make me yawn every week.

Mikalah HAS to go home tomorrow.

Man... everyone must have been nervous or something. I dunno.

Jessica - I kinda missed. But from what I saw, she looked awful stiff. And I'm not a big fan of the song... or her jacket for that matter. She'll be safe because teenage boys won't be able to get enough of her... um... "assets." :rolleyes:

Anwar - I was waiting for him to blow a note out of the water... and it didn't happen. He's got a really pure voice and I dig that... maybe it was just the song. I thought Tamayra in S1 sang that isht out of that song back then... or am I thinking something different. Basically I was waiting for a glory note that didn't happen. Oh well. I still luv him.

Constantine - Was on tune. Sort of. Better than other performances. But he gets a nod as a theater boi and not a rock star that everyone wants to think he is. Therefore... HATE for being a poser... again.

Mehkelah - was WAY out of tune and that pink bra was all shades of wrong.

Lindsey - Ok... I never noticed how she makes these really WEIRD faces when she sings fast songs. It FREAKED me out. I thought she was going to puke. This girl will be gone faster than you can say "Julia Demato."

Clay 2.5 - I would have personally flown down to LA and gone Clay Aiken fan on him if TRIED to tackle "Solitare." I heard Neil Sedaka and spazed out for a minute. But I was relieved when he sang Ruben's signature song from that night. (HaHA...) Anyway... I wouldn't compare him to a guy at the end of a Xmas party, because generally guys are too drunk at the end of parties to sing "that" well. But he wasn't that fabulous. I don't get it.

Nadia - Again... I *heart* Nadia. I want that dress! And the girl could sing anything and it would sound good.

Bo - I've never heard that tune so I have no idea how it's supposed to sound. (Or maybe I have and don't remember.) But the showmanship won him brownie points. All that jumping and walking around didn't seem to tire him out so his voice still stayed strong. YAY BO! The REAL rock star.

Vonzell - Paging Trenyse. That is all.

Scott - wasn't that boring. He actually moved around. Not bad.

Carrie - I like her hair straight... but I didn't like the song. She knows who she is, as Simon said: she's a run of the mill girl next door that can't take risks because they are "scary." :eek: :rolleyes: I can't see why she was pimped. She needs to up the ante or something because I'm bored.

Nikko - YAY! There is cuteness on my screen. However, I see Charles Grigsbey's fate awaits you. Althought it would REALLY suck if he went home TOMORROW. Oh the Irony...

Going home: Probably Lindsey.

[/snark]

tonight was the first night that I actually watched the whole show

I was not impressed with the first 6 contestants.....most of them were really BAD, except Anwar....he was ok

I see what ya'll are talking about with Constantine (he is trying to do Eddie Vedder and NOT succeeding, please STOP)


Nadia and Bo totally KICKED ASS, I instantly had a crush on Bo, that is a real rocker and not losing integrity by being on this show, he is keeping it real. I loved that song...

Scott - eh

Carrie - i liked

Nikko - I sorry but I thought he was horrible

I actually agreed with what was said by the judges, I have peeked in & out of the show, but this was the first time for me to really watch an entire eppy.

My Commentary on Tuesday's Performances...
 

I missed the first ten minutes, so I don't have much to say about Jessica or Anwar. I like them both but, from the recap at the end, it didn't seem very special.

Mikalah - Terrible; she ruined a great song.

Constantine - Strong performance; proved that he deserves a spot in the Top 12 for his voice, not his looks. :rolleyes:

Lindsey - Why in the heck did this chick make the Top 12 over Amanda?!? She sucks.

Anthony - Terrible; bad karaoke.

Nadia - She has a good voice, but I greatly dislike her. She comes off to me like she has this "yea, I'm great and you better think so too" vibe.

Bo - Great song and great song choice; Gold star for Bo.

Vonzell - She does enough to get by, but like Simon said she'll be gone after Lindsay, Anthony, and Mikalah.

Scott - It was okay; I think I liked the song more than his performance of it.

Carrie - She may "know who she is in this competition" but she better step it up because (even though I like her) the last few weeks have been very boring.

Nikko - I like his voice but he was totally off last night...he was all over the place. He might last a few weeks until the crappy people go.

Likely to go this week...Lindsey or Mikalah

Bottom 3:

Mikalah (JESUS H. CHRIST! If you're listening, get rid of her now!)

Vonzell

Lindsey

Ya'll are going to hate me for this!

I voted about 30 times for Lindsey. Hahaha

I only voted a few times for Constantine. I don't think he should win by any means.

I believe that should be Nadia.

And I actually fast forwarded Anwar and Anthony. Yawn.

RECAP!!

Jessica - She was good, and one of my favs. I thought they were a little harsh on her. I called to vote for her, and I got through like 10 times in a row at 9:03 pm EST.

Anwar - He's good, but this song stank.

Constantine - I didn't think he was so bad this week, although I still want him out.

Mehkelah - EW! Thank you to another american idol contestant for ruining this fabulous song...last year it was that hawaiian girl (not jasmine, sorry OTW!) Please GO!

Lindsey - I liked her...but I know she's definitely in jeopardy.

Anthony - It was ok....he'll stay

Nadia - She was good, hated the dress...I think I'm just over this style of singing from past American Idols.

Bo - LOVED IT!

Vonzell - boring...and her dress was awful.

Scott - I hate this song...they use it every year. He was good though.

Carrie - I like her, but she is getting slightly boring. She needs to do something new.

Nikko - YAY NIKKO!! It wasn't perfect, but he had fun, and I liked it...voted for him for sure :)

Going home: Probably Lindsey.

going home this week
 

I think it will be Lindsey, Mikahlah or Constantscream.

Carrie didn't really impress me either, and like someone already said, she's getting boring.

I think Lindsay goes, but I can only hope it will be Mikalah. She just annoys me.

Mario V.. stuff
 

One of the producers talked to Good Day Live and said that Mario wouldn't have been able to sign a record deal with anyone else until 3 months after the show was over (august) b/c after making the Top 12, all the contestants had to sign that. Just FYI.

:)

My top 3 from last night:
Bo- He's the genuine article... Can really sing, and is a great performer
Carrie- Okay, maybe I'm biased. Has a really great voice, not so great stage presence.
Nadia- I thought last night was her best performance vocally. She's a good performer and a pretty good singer. But like someone else said, there is something about her that irks me.


Bottom 3:
Mikalah- Can't stand her. She can't sing. Please send her home soon!
Lindsey- Will probably go home tonight due to lack of fan base that some less talented contestants have. She has a pretty voice, but she hasn't really been showcasing it.
Anthony- He's boring, and really isn't that fabulous of a singer. But he'll stick around because he has the aforementioned fan base.

I don't like Constantine, but he was actually "aight" last night.

does anyone know who was voted off? I didn't watch today !

Lindsey was voted off.

Mikeblah was bottom two.

Jessica was bottom 3

thanks!

I had a feeling it would be her week to go.
I'm not surprised mikelah was in the bottom two... but a little surprised Jessica was in bottom 3.

I also missed tonight's airing but it surprises me that the bottom three consists of girls, all of which are on my favorites list.

I was surprised that Jessica made bottom 3. I had a feeling all the guys were pretty much safe.

Lindsey was decent last night, but I thought for sure Mikeblah was going to be cut.

Not another week! NOOOOOO!

Hey, I got one right.

Let's see if next week a guy will be voted off. That way on the tour, there will be a guaranteed even split of guys and girls. *puts on tin foil hat*

Truthfully I am not a hige fan of any of the guys...I think most all of them are good, but not great.

I was so glad that Lindsey went. I knew she would, and I knew Jessica would be safe. I think that Ryan was TERRIBLE with that "Mikayla - it's bad news..." mess. I know he has to do that, but its really beyond old. And when they went to commercial that last time, my clock said "9:23" when they came back it said "9:28" -- do we need FIVE minute commercials - argh!

Truthfully, Lindsey looked and sounded better crying & singing than she has since the start!!

ETA: Here's the Fox News Scoop Link on Mario & the "record deal" ...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,150702,00.html

I think Jessica got screwed because she sang first...nobody remembered her. I voted for her like 15 times in a row at 9:05 pm EST, no busy signals. I was sad to see Lindsey go, because she seems like a great girl, and I'm pissed that Mikaelah is still there...UGH!

Sad to see Lindsey go-not bc she was good, but b/c she wasn't as bad as Mikelugh...I hope M's fans don't rally around her and get her out of the bottom 3 next week. She needs to go away.

Bo & Nadia are still my favorites & get all my votes.

And for the Constantine haters, sad news: he has a legion of fans. Look for him to stick around until top 5, at least (that's my prediction, not my hope).

Lindsay gone was good. I wish Mikalah was gone too. She is bad, I put it on mute when she sings, it hurts my ears.

I am not a constantine fan, but he rocked the place on Tues... I loved him, Nadia, and Carrie.

Mario Hires Lawyer to Get Him Out of Contract

After reading this, I get the feeling that perhaps he already has something else lined up & needs to be released from his contract. I'm starting to think that perhaps he only wanted to be on Idol for the exposure. Now his name is more well known than the other contestants for his "abrupt" quitting.

That's really interesting.. I guess that solves the whole 'why did he leave' mystery.

I agree that his name is more well-known since he left.. hmmm

Sorry If this has been repeated but I didnt feel like going through 22 pages... But did anyone else see CONSTANTINE on ELIMADATE!!! He won too!!!

Yep, my friend was reading about this earlier today and mentioned it to me. That's so freakin ridiculous!

I think Paula hit the crack pipe before the show tonight.

I agree.

I am so proud of Carrie. She was amazing! She and Bo are still my favorites, although I don't think Bo was as good tonight as he usually is.

I thought Constantine, Mikalah, and Anthony were the worst... And I hope that Mikalah goes home tomorrow.

I thought so too!

LOL

Is it just me or does Simon tell someone different each week that he predicts they will win?

================

My take on the performances:

Anthony - i didn't see the performance (i was making dinner! yum!) but based on the few seconds they showed at the end, it looked like he did "ok"

Carrie - even though i was scared her hair was going to come alive, i thought her performance was GREAT. i think it was really smart of her to break from the whole country mold. i don't know about simon's comments about her winning though.

Scott - great performance!

Bo - for some reason, his performance was just "ok" for me.

Nikko - Woohoo! I loved the performance.

Vonzell - VAST improvement over last week's performance!! nice range!

Constantscream - blah blah and more blah. Sorry bud, the Partridge family doesn't "rock" :p I agreed w/ Simon's anology of a poodle in a leather jacket :)

Nadia - I think she's done way better vocally before. Her hair was kind of distracting to me.. the whole time i was thinking "i wonder how long it took to get her hair like that?"

Mikablah - EWWW! I think she kinda sounded today like she was congested or nasal-ly or something... it was also kinda pitchy

Anwar - it was nice to see him try a different type of music... the performance was pretty ok

Jessica - Pretty good

My top 3 this week:
Carrie
Nikko
Vonzell

My bottom 3 this week:
(surprise surprise!) constantscream
(surprise surprise!) mikeblah
Nadia

I think mikablah will be gone this week

I only caught Constannoying (yeah - lucky me!), Nadia, Anwar, and Mikayla (dang - one of us should learn how to spell her name correctly before she leaves ;) )

Needless to say, Constannoying is absolutely wretched. He is gaining weight faster than a fat woman at the new two-in-one Dairy Queen/Krispy Kreme grand opening, and he is NOT a rocker. And WTH is up with holding the mike upside down with his hand - that was weird.

Nadia was okay - that is one of my all-time-fav songs, so I don't think she did it justice. Cyndi Lauper is one-of-a-kind - let her be.

Anwar I thought did well. I love that song also, and I think he was decent.

Mikahla (dang I feel like Tom spelling her name!) as usual suck-ed. I loved her during the auditions - she was cute and peppy. Now she is like 74 and ready for the retirement home. Her voice has gone downhill, and other than a last-minute effort to get rid of Constannoying, I must say she should go home.

What did Bo, Nikko, and Scott sing? I hope all three continue to do well. I missed getting to see Nikko - he is the only sex appeal for this show... for the women who like men anyways.

Bo sang "Time In a Bottle".. not sure who the original artist was but it's an oldie/goodie! For some reason when he came on during that mini-segment where they talk about why they chose the song, the first time I looked at the "Time In a Bottle" caption, I thought it was "Genie In a Bottle".. thankfully I was wrong ;)

Nikko sang "Incomplete" ? by Sisqo I think? Or someone who used to be part of "Dru Hill"?

Scott.. ah! I don't remember what he sang... it was a good performance tough!

Nikko & Vonzelle best of the night

Worst was Mikahla(saddens me) and Constantine(enough already)
