American Idol 5

[dzandiloo]

Chris Daughtry will win this thing. Why bother w/the next 12 (or so) weeks? He also made me really like a song I did not care for before (the Fuel song). I like him better than I liked Bo last year (enjoyed the Bo sighting last night though), and that is saying alot.

Who I think's going home:
David Radford
Sway, Gedeon or William Makar... (they'll all be gone b/f the top 12 is picked, I think...they are even acting defeated, so get rid of them...well, except for Gedeon...he's still bringing it)
Brenna (pleaseohpleaseohplease)
Heather

I thought Bucky was surprisingly good on "Thunder Rolls." And I really wasn't feeling him last week. Top 6 will be Chris, Elliott, Ace, Taylor, Kevin (just cuz of the geek factor), and maybe Bucky or someone else who won't last long in the final 12, but will last longer than the girls....

Top 6 girls? Katharine, Kellie, Mandisa, Lisa, Paris, and one other who won't last long in the top 12 (why don't they just skip it and make it top 10 like it was in the beginning?).

My co-workers were raving about Elliot. I missed him, so I couldn't judge. But I was totally digging Chris. I don't think he'll have a voice by the 4th week of the top 12... but whatever. He's still awesome.

I think Sway and David will be going home tonight.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I have loved Chris since I saw his audition. I totally think he is going to win this thing!!

Nice call!! Thank God Brenna is gone too...I could not stand her from the beginning!! To many excuses and not enough talent in my opinion.

Did you see Brenna posing at the end? She was completely sticking her chest out. What does she think she's going to get? A playboy contract? And I did not like her song choice at the end with all the little extra "Make some money America" thrown in.
Just glad she is gone!

You're not the only one! She got on my nerves!!!

Why was Brenna doing the "call me" motions at the end before striking a pose?

She's out of the competition, so they can't call for her anymore?

Anyway, I'm glad she's gone.

I'm kind of surprised Sway was voted off... he's not the best guy, but I think he is somewhat better than some of the other dudes... but oh well.

I figured the crooner guy would be off the show soon.. he's a cutie, but he's very one-dimensional.

And I *heart* Chris

I guess she wanted to make sure everyone knew what a twit she is

[AnonAlumna]

She wanted 'Clive' to call her and giver a record contract so she...I mean THEY could make lots of money.

Is there a reason AI needs to be on 3 nights a week? Bring back House MD!

I agree-- boring-- there are people in the Top 20 whatever you call it who either can't sing (Kellie) or don't have the look (Elliott and Kevin).

The judges have crushes on Paris and Katharine, and I'm not hugely impressed with either. I think Chris has the most originality and talent. Ace is pretty, but he would be a better actor or model than pop star. Ayla and Lisa have very nice voices, but should go finish high school. The era of the 16 year old pop princess went out with the 1990's.

And yes, AI needs to move it on and get to the Top 12 already-- or better yet--- spare us, make it the Top 5.

I'm by no means saying he doesn't, but if you remember the first audition that Paris had she was incredible. I don't know what style of singing it's called that she did, but it was def not like everyone else and I just totally loved it.

AI is on 3 nights/week because it brings the ratings, and ratings brings the advertising dollars. AI is the real thing when it comes to "show me the the money". Brenna, however, just came off as pathetic.

I can't get over how Simon keeps saying that everyone is in love with Kellie. I'm not, my *teenaged sons* aren't, my girlfriends aren't, and she doesn't seem to have much love around here. She can't sing and the country bumpkin routine is o-l-d.

Can someone explain the appeal of Will Makar? One conspiracy theory says that he's really the "annointed one" and I just don't get it.

[dzandiloo]

OK, Paula was out of control last night...am I the only one who thought she was hopped up on something? Seriously, she should be embarrassed...and you could tell Ryan was completely appalled.... For Pete's sake! these people are about to lose their dreams, and you are spewing something incomprehensible about a fortune cookie? So what if Simon said it.... So wrong...

He looks just like Fred Savage from the Wonder Years.

Well, besides that...anything?

[CarolinaCutie]

I am going to need for Kellie and Bucky to STOP playing the "I'm so damn country I don't know what to do with myself" routine.

Rockingham and Albemarle, NC are small, but they are NOT that bad. McLeansville, where Chris is from, is equally small but he isn't walking around talking about CA LA MAAAARI and sweet tea
