I hate to sound like a total asshole, but Scott's definitely going to throw off the group numbers.

I don't think you are an a$$hole, I've been thinking the same thing. Like I said above, it's going to be tricky, like you can't say anything snarky, or it will seem like you're kicking a puppy.

But, had to post what I read on another board re the group sing - (it's mean, I know) but funny:

Quote:

Maybe they could do a number literally about "singing circles" about someone. Since the stage is in the round, for effect Scott could stand on a turntable and spin slowly around while the others move around him. Or maybe put him at the top of a big Busby-Berkley-style cake and have the others dressed in top hats and tails, descending a ramp. Or if they're gonna lip-synch anyway, just slap a curly wig on his brother (who's shifted from cute to Fire Marshall Bill to cute again) and let Scott sit it out.

Or maybe, as another poster suggested, the producers will finally scrap this embarrassing scrap of cheese and do away with the group numbers. One can hope.

I know, I'm going to hades...

Personally, I don't think Simon will have a problem criticizing his singing. When the time comes, it will happen. Simon has always told the truth no matter what, and if you ask me, he's the only one who is completely honest with the contestants (and he's correct in his analysis 99.9% of the time).

And yes, PLEASE do away with the group singing. I forget what the song was last night, but I remember it was awful and corny. Get rid of it.

I was so nervous Anoop wasn't going to make the wild card round. I'm so glad they called him back, and if he makes the top 12, he's definitely getting a lot of my votes! I wish Ja'Not would've made it, I liked him much better than Jorge. I also thought it was stupid that Jorge rambled off his happiness in Spanish. Yes, you're from PR, but you speak English and it's American Idol, not Latin American Idol. Maybe that's harsh but I'm just not a fan.

I really have no clue who the judges will pick for the top 12, but I'm praying Tatiana doesn't make the cut! I had to fast forward through her ridiculous tears of happiness last night, she's way too annoying.

They decided to make it a Top 13...Matt and Anoop both made it.

That was bad. I had taped it because I wasn't getting home until almost 9. So I watched it on DVR (funny how I still call that "taping"), and was annoyed when it cut out. Don't they know that's how millions of people watch the show?

The BF was PISSED. We didn't get to watch it until late last evening and it just wasn't the same getting the results online. Anoop's a favorite and he was also pulling for Matt Giraud since he's also from Kalamazoo.

BF says that the DVR wouldn't have cut it off if they didn't spend a lot of time on Tatiana's diva moment at the end. UGH!

My DVR cut off the final 2 winners as well, I was so mad! I raced to the computer to find out who won. I was only about an hour behind so it still took me about 10 minutes to find out who the final 2 contestants were. I'm so glad Anoop made it!

Not a fan of Megan, last night was only the second time I heard her sing but I just don't see why the judges like her so much.

srmom · #**174** 03-06-2009, 05:42 PM

Because she's current

In other words, she can't sing, but they can fix that up when they mix her cd. The important thing is she has a pretty face, a quirky look, and an ugly tattoo all down her arm.

She's a marketers dream.

Thetagirl218 · #**175** 03-06-2009, 05:49 PM

Thanks for the update!! Stupid FOX...they can extend the show time...grrrr!

I am sooo happy Anoop got in! I love him!

Did anyone else get the feeling that last night was just a dog and pony show and the the "cast" (Simon's word) had already been chosen beforehand?

It just didn't seem to be how well or bad someone sang... being the "package" was so much more important. Yet, at other times you will hear Simon say "This is a singing competition."

I do think Jasmine is adorable, but she was a far cry from Top 12 material with all of the other contestants this season. Same for Meghan.

100% agree - while I think both of the guys deserved to get through, I really don't think Megan did. Jasmine was okay, but neither was as good or entainting as Anoop or Matt.

Oh, wait...SHE made the top 12 (or rather, 13)???

I TiVoed the show and just now have time to watch it....I did NOT like her performance! It sounded like she was singing through her nose....and I couldn't believe the judges all sang her praises like they did!!

I think Ann Marie and Nick/Norman should have been brought back for the Wild Card round.

kddani · #**179** 03-10-2009, 08:14 PM

Lil Rounds' pants look like high end mom jeans in white. Thank you Simon for recognizing the fashion tragedy that is those pants. So not flattering. I think she has a good voice, but it takes a lot to impress me on AI any more. Michael Jackson is a tough song book to "make your own"

LMAO at the fact that 1-866-IDOLS-13 is a porn line, so the last contestant tonight will have a "special" number.

I feel like that last little girl just shouted at me for 2 minutes.

ETA: Anoop takes on "Beat It!" I love it!
