American Idol 7 - Page 6

Sigh, another snoozefest. I only liked Alaina, Ramiele, and Syesha.

Why is it that some of these contestants are amazing during auditions and Hollywood but then can't sing a decent note once they make the top 24?!? So disappointing.

You would think they only gave them a very small group of songs to choose from... WHY out of the American Idol clearanced catalog would they pick those songs from the 60s?

Oh, and Randy-- Connie Francis is the one we remember for singing "Where the Boys Are."

THANK YOU!!! I said the exact same thing to my husband. And then he was giving Simon crap later about being in the music business and not knowing a song!!

I've gotta give Paula Abdul credit -- ol' girl looked GOOD in her video!

I recently saw a preview of Janet Jackson's new video, she looks really good too.

Go late 80s/early 90s icons!

Yay, "America got it right" tonight! The 4 that should have been voted off were!

Completely agree. I still don't get how the Leif Garrett kid made it on.

Me either. Didn't get him at all.

I had a work event so I missed it. Who got voted off?

These 4 are gone:

Yeah, but it's still dull. Maybe I've seen too much AI over the years.

I did enjoy, though, how quickly Ryan pulled that first trigger to send someone home -- that was different and I didn't see that coming.

The group performance sounded terrible, though, I thought -- and what's with all the costuming, etc.? I wonder if they'll do that every week? I hope not. I also hope the producers have learned to NEVER kick off the season with 60s night again. That was horrible.

Okay. So "Leif Garrett's" hair... was styled with a curling iron.

Hehe, I commented on the same thing to my husband. I didn't get that, at all.

I wasn't really surprised with any of them, although I thought the 4th one wasn't as bad as some of the others.

I think America got it right with Amy and Garrett, but I was surprised by the other two. I think there were other people who were a lot worse.

^^^I meant David as the one I liked but can't stand his hair. I don't like Jason's voice OR hair.

And did anyone else catch how miserable the long blond-hair rocker-wannabe guy looked while everyone was fawning over how David C. is the "real deal" after his performance? At one point, you could see him up in the balcony and he just looked so unhappy. He does protest way too much that he really, really is a tough rocker dude while he definitely has more of a pop voice. David C. has more of a rock voice, though he doesn't pull off the "persona" as well as Chris Daughtry did. (and the crossword thing, while it gives him points in my book, doesn't necessarily toughen up his "rock" image)
