American Idol Season 8 - Page 11

Last night's show was pretty good. I even watched more than half of the performances in their entirity, which hasn't happened the previous two weeks.

I think Lil and Jorge will be on top, with Junot in the third spot. I dunno, maybe Von could be a spoiler.

I feel bad for the girls this week because it seems like all the decent ones got clumped together. I thought they were way too harsh on Arianna and I think Felicia would have sailed through to the Top 12 if she had performed on either of the other nights. I hope they both come back as potential wild cards.

And although I agree that Nathaniel needs to get beat down with his headband, if you didn't look at him and only listened to his voice, he was actually quite good. Sorry, I can't say the same for Scott..."not feelin' it, dawg."

Anyone else feel like the judges are REALLY giving extra ass-kissing to their favorites to make sure they go through...?

I agree that Jorge, Lil and Junot were the best, but I thought quite a few were pretty good, like I was surprised I liked Von. He didn't shout at me through the tv like before and it was okay. I also liked that girl that sand No One. Too bad she's up agains Lil, cuz it aint going to happen!!

I'm sorry, but Scott is just not that good of a singer when you compare ONLY his singing against the others. I know he's been through a lot, and it is wonderful that he has overcome and flourished in a sometimes cruel world, but to be "pimped" over others is just not right!! But, we are talking about Idol here....

I do! And I don't know if this has been addressed here yet, but how does everyone feel about having a 4th judge? Personally, I find it annoying and redundant. I usually fast-forward through half of the judges comments because it takes so long (but I always make sure to listen to Simon's). Most of the time I'm passing over Kara's, and it's not just because she's the new judge, but because half the time, I don't think that she has a decent thought of her own. I feel like she just reiterates what other people have already said.

But that's just my opinion

Vote for the Worst has some pics up of Adam kissing some other dude.

It's not that I'm not used to gay PDA, but something about Adam Lambert just creeps me out. Everytime he's on TV I feel like he's molesting me with his eyes.

Y'all, Dial Idol has Scott winning the men's slot by a mile!

He is not that good!! Jorge and Ju Not were better, but due to the immense pimping by TPTB, Scott will be in our top 12!

For once we agree on something.

Though I had a feeling she'd be back, I don't know how much more of her I can take.

I can't stand that they're bringing Tatiana back. Anoop HAS to make the final 12!!

I completely forgot about Anoop until they said his name. I didn't even see him sitting there in the corner. They were down to the last person and said it was an easy decision, I looked at the people left, and I was confused.

Definitely excited he has a second chance.

The sad thing about Tatiana is that Simon said all of the judges wanted her back. Really?! Why? That decision had to be for entertainment purposes only.

It must be purely for ratings....they are probably looking for another Sanaja!

I did not think Scott was that great....In fact he was maybe in the top 5 of the night IMO.

I am so freaking happy Anoop is back in....

I had an idea that Jasmine would be...but she seems to stuck up for me!

LeslieAGD · #**161** 03-05-2009, 08:05 AM

I would really like for Matt and Anoop to make the Top12. I don't care for any of those girls, so it doesn't really matter which one goes through. I was surprised Junot and Arianna weren't given wildcard slots...although for Junot, the competition for a guy slot was probably a lot tougher as there were many good ones.

srmom · #**162** 03-05-2009, 10:31 AM

I'm sad that Ju Not didn't get called back.

I'm disgusted that Tatiana got called back over any number of people left on the couch.

Ditto!

I'm not a big fan of the girls they chose - Jasmine being the exception, I like her. But I really liked Felicia Barton, Kristen McNamera, Taylor Vaifanua (all from Group 3), and Jeanine Vailes (from Group 2). I think they were better than the wildcard girls the judges picked - or at least they deserved a second chance.

I wonder how awful it will be for Simon to not be able to say how truly awful Scott sounds to him without sounding like a jerk who is picking on a blind person

I mean, really, how is he going to get away with saying, "You were terrible. I hated everything, from the song you chose to your wardrobe."

He will be booed more than ever!!!

It will be interesting to see how he tap dances around it, cuz the mediocre singing is going to catch up to Scott and begin to grate on Simon..

#**165** 03-05-2009, 03:10 PM

I would have been okay if Megan and Jasmine were not called back. Despite their crappy performances, I still like Arianna and Taylor. I thought Felicia should have had one more shot.

I can't believe Ju'Not wasn't picked. That's just wrong.

Methinks the Top 12's going to be very painful to watch. I hate to sound like a total asshole, but Scott's definitely going to throw off the group numbers.
