American Idol Season 8

standing ovation from the judges was as good as it gets. Lil Round, Chris, and Mark will be in the bottom three.

Adam should get his recording contract now, why wait till the end?

BottomFeeder

Yeah, unless something goes screwy, Adam will get the win. I still prefer Danny...

My Bottom Three:
Scott
Lil
Anoop

I wonder if many of you guys have ever watched this show before; how often does the "best" really win? Taylor freakin Hicks won one year!

jdhdiggs

Yeah, but this year, he's head and shoulders above everyone else. They almost need to fix the results to boot him in the final 4 so people keep watching.

polkatese

Good point Bob. Goofy Hicks managed to win that year.

As I said, I'd buy Adam's album today if he moved on, with or without the crown.

brain **** on my part, I meant Scott (don't even know where Mark came out, must be my hopeless work colleague that I was thinking of when I typed)

My Mom sent me the video of Adam's performance. I am not taking anything away from him he really is amazingly talented - I just don't like him. The only one I would walk across the street to hear sing is Allison.

I wonder if the Tivo cut off hurt him at all? The voting is still open for a while and I bet a lot of people missed his performance.

My wife said he will soon anyway.

Yup. They messed up and the show finished late. I also missed Adam's song. I don't vote though.

Allison and Adam are in my top list. I still don't like Adam, but he is probably the best singer ever in American Idol.

video only works in clubhouse.

I could agree with that - maybe. I actually want to like him. There's just a smugness or something about him that's off putting. And WTH! Simon tellling a 16 yo girl on national T.V. she's not likeable?! She's plenty likeable. These people are really messed up.

Alison is probably the second best on the show.. But she is so ugly and even looks that much more ugly while singing.. She reminds me of the daughter from the first National lampoons vacation movies, but with a fatter face.
Danny is a close 3rd with a great sounding voice, but he lacks stage presence. Pretty boring to watch for me.
The show changes every time Adam comes on, goes from karaoke to a true artist..
Hes is definately the most polished singer to be on the show. He will be a super star for sure.

I absolutely agree with your 3,2,1 analysis and the rest are just filling space. Adam will become a "signature voice" artist. Looks like he's pretty similar to Freddy Mercury when seeing his theatrical home videos as a child. I'd even bet he'll tear up a Freddy Mercury/Queen song in the finals. I was never a fan of Freddy Mercury's personal life and choices that led to his death, but his music and performing were incredible. Hopefully Lambert doesn't meet the same end.

Yeah, amen.

Lil needs to go next.

wingnut4772

Scott next please.

bopicasso

Scott might be average but he is definately the one that needs to go home..
Who is voting for him????? Its hard to believe america thinks he can beat anyone that was even in the top 10 for that matter.. Come on get your head in the game USA..
I dont vote, so I shouldnt complain but GEEZ!

On the subject of AI, I had to make a quick one week trip to Singapore, a couple of weeks ago, and AI is also big over there, broadcasted within a few hours after the East Coast feed, on their prime-time slot on Thursday and Friday night. I was there when they boot out Alexis. My point is, I thought it is interesting when many folks outside the US root for the same idols, and follow them closely as if theirs.

Yes, Scott needs to go. Great voice, no personality and ackwardly painful to see him smile. He needs to be nurtured outside the realm of AI competition.

Ain't that the truth. I was watching last night with my wife. When Allison was singing, she says to me."if you take away that red hair, she would look pretty":eek: I told her that she must look alot different from her side of the couch.

Adam picking "Mad World" to sing was a masterful stroke of genius on his part.

Anybody else remember this "Gears of War" trailer from a couple of years ago ?

That GOW pre-release from a couple of years ago sold a boatload of games; it was awsome.

Also awesome was Adam's choice of that song and how he absolutely nailed it. A bit of Freddie Mercury in there. Both musically and with his stage domination, he's got his ticket to the final sewn up, IMO.

Allison is my 2nd favorite. Unlike some other's opinions, I think she's cuter than heck; pure genuineness, WYSIWYG, she commands the stage when's she's on it, has a voice that has quite a range, and ...... she's only 16 !

YESSSSS!!!!! And no save thank God. Bye Scott.

A-freakin-men!

I've said it before that I can't stand Scott, but its funny that when he sang on Tues, I again thought it was awful, but when he sang for his second chance on Wed., I actually thought he sang it well-well at least much much better than the first time. Well there was one really bad high note. But still he needed to go. Maybe Disney will higher him.

I think Allison and Adam will be the top 2.
Its hard to say who will go home next-I'll have to wait until next weeks performances to see who 'blows it out da box'. The competition's getting tough. As said some of the frontrunners have fallen back.

I'd say that the group performance was live this time-it just didn't sound right.

When Flo Rida was talking about his album or show, did AI blank him out?

mmadden28

When Adam sang during Motown week, did anybody else see a striking resemblance to:
Elvis and/or Kurt Russell?

I've only ever heard a few Natashia Bedingfield songs and I probably woudn't have made the comparison otherwise, but does anybody else think that her song "Soulmate" sounds a lot like Megan Joy's sound?

I thought it was live too because it sounded like shite.

My wife and I noticed that too. It might have been a bad mic, which could explain why he almost sounded out of breath in a couple places in his performance. I think it's pretty clear the deal with AI is that you get to promote the hell out of your new album, so I can't see them censoring that.

bopicasso

They censored him when he said his webpage to see live footage.

Bottom three would be: Matt, Kris, Lil Round.

Exactly my thoughts. Matt has had some great moments, but he's not consistent. He should go.
