American Idol

[rockford2]

I love the auditions!! Can't wait! I just got into this show last year. :shock:

I know, I know......last year I stopped to view it while my son was watching and absolutely got hooked. Couldn't stop laughing while thinking that so many people have GUTS!!! :hifive:

[Roamer]

I've already got it flagged to come on tonight so I don't get busy and forget it.

On the one hand, it's mean of us to laugh at people, but on the other, if they put themselves out there and have no talent whatsoever, they're just asking for negative criticism.

[Claudia]

Can't wait!!! The open auditions are the best part of the show!!:s1gyahoo:

[LiveLaughLuv]

Woo-Hoo two hours tonight. I just get all embarrassed for those who are actually tone deaf.

Hey, look at that Asian dude, he went off to make some commercials, so even if you can't hold a tune, you will become famous. :girl_haha:

I cringe when I hear Simon, he doens't hold back at all.

I'm concerned about Paula and really hope she doesn't embarrass herself like last season when she couldn't sit still in her chair. She too is suffering from something, besides that chronic pain. I just hope she doesn't become unglued. :faintTHUD:

But Roamer....the sad part is when they really believe that they have talent!! Some of them look surprised! :shock:

Kanda watched her reality show when it was on and she said that Paula had some kind of breakdown in front of the cameras because of some 'part' she didn't get. She definitely is goofy sometimes. Simon, I read, is suppose to 'tone it down' this season.

That is so true - and so dang funny!!! :67302:

Gosh, do I really have time for any more shows? Yeah, probably....lol

LOL, you're right. Some of them even argue with the judges and tell them they'll be famous one day. :girl_haha:

last night was just deplorable!! That one girl who cussed and cussed. I think she belted out a great Grace Slick tune, but her ATTITUDE just stunk! I think she might have had a chance with somebody in a band, but holy cow, what she did on camera to tell Simon off......:a1chic:

I wanted to post last night, but I couldn't get the board to log on...technical problems.

I think that Simon liked that Kristy Jo person. The young lady from Oregon. I think that was her name. So far, nobody has stuck out for me. More to come though....:22wink:

It was deplorable.
I think I watched more commercials than tryouts, the editing was terrible.
And sometimes it was like watching the worst soaps ever shown on tv.

[Claudia]

Well, I found that I am not as evil as I believed myself to be. Last night, the guy that sang really, really low & looked as if he had no top teeth - I almost cried I felt so bad for him. He was just crushed.

Oh, and the 16 yr old girl with the sick mother - she DID make me cry. I would suck as a judge, they'd cry & I'd say, "Ok, you can go on to Hollywood. Just please don't cry..". :rolleye0001:

[SaberGal]

What's up with the fat guy in the genie costume? These auditions seem to bring out all sorts just to get on TV. I'm just not sure that's how I'd want to get on TV.....:0009:

[Tracian]

I am lazy and didn't read the whole thread...but what do you guys think of that nutty stalker guy singing to Paula?

[SaberGal]

I am lazy and didn't read the whole thread...but what do you guys think of that nutty stalker guy singing to Paula?

:shock:OMG...he was so creepy. I don't care if he was trying to be funny or not, talking about breaking into her house and being her stalker....she handled that much better than I would have.

[Tracian]

:shock:OMG...he was so creepy. I don't care if he was trying to be funny or not, talking about breaking into her house and being her stalker....she handled that much better than I would have.


I do think that Paula handled it well; I also think that she should keep her security staff on alert for that wingnut.


Oh, BTW, that last one, the girl that is a nanny, what a phony.

No kidding...I was surprised that they didn't haul him out right away - and then they let him keep getting closer to the table...strange. I was cringing.....

Yeah, not sure how I feel about the nanny yet. I do think it is possible to try and live as pure a life as possible having some good guidelines set by parents. What I didn't like and what made me skeptical was tooting one's horn about it. Even if it wasn't a blatant "I'm a good person" toot, it was definately tooting....

JMHO

[Lucy]

LOL, you're right. Some of them even argue with the judges and tell them they'll be famous one day. :girl_haha: I believe the one disgruntled contestant that stands out in my mind is the young, African American woman who was a good bit over weight and wore that bare midriff white outfit with the skirt down below her massive belly. Now that lady was determined that she was meant to win and cursed everyone in sight who disagreed with her. She acted like she was ready to whip the whole crew and looked as if that would be no problem for her. I can't even remember a thing about her singing but her personality made a lasting impression.:shock:

I also got the opinion she doth protest to much.

[Pauli]

I'm getting the chance to watch tonight and all I can say is :shock:

[gramvof14]

I'm getting the chance to watch tonight and all I can say is :shock:
I absolutely agree.:shock:
As for that nut case last night the stalker Simon took that very serious and he called security to get him out.:71541::doh:

[rockford2]

well....how about Wednesday's evening of strange people auditioning? The last person to audition was just plain ol' goofy with his silver, sequined hat and cape.

But the judges jumping in to dance with him......:girl_haha: that was the kicker!

The young man who farms? I think he could have a career in country music. I'm glad they gave him a chance to go to Hollywood, but I don't think he'll win; just maybe some record producer would give him a chance and sign him up.

Did any of you see the guy who was dripping wet from nerves? He was just so nervous and sang poorly but thought he sounded great? :z0tdntknw:

[rockford2]

How adorable was the farmer boy? I thought he was just a cutie pie!

The soaking wet nervous guy was kinda gross. Kinda weird, too. He just didn't want to give up... still singing as he was leaving the building! Acted like he was a professional! :rolleye0001:

Dang! I left for 5 minutes and I missed that cute farmer guy. So he can sing? Yay!
I think they should have a prelimanary panel that they have to get past before they make it to Randy, Paula and Simon. I mean some of those crazy ppl can't even function in public and shouldn't have to disgrace themselves in front of America:0009: They could still put the worst of the one's that make it past the first panel.
How many more nights of auditions?

next week I think they are in California for more auditions. Probably several more weeks of auditioning.

I agree, Trina. With so many people vying for a spot to Hollywood, maybe they should weed out the PRE-HollyWEIRD people.

And did we really need to see that woman on the first night who cussed and cussed about Simon? She should never have had air time to talk about how she felt $@$##$# so many times about Simon.

You're talking about the glitter crack girl? The one that wants to be a vet? She was downright scary!

Air time? She was on the morning show the next morning. Talk about becoming famous.

I only watched one hour last night, I had to watch Ghost Hunters Intl..:022:

I'm pretty sure they do have a preliminary panel....they let most of these rotten ones in for the effect. People expect these horrible auditions from American Idol and some even look forward to them. I cringe, I watch, and I can't wait until this part is over and the real show begins. I'm not sure how many more nights of auditions there are left....

[SaberGal]

My favorite one from last night was the farmin' cowboy....he's a cutie pie and I think his voice was good and will only get better.

The dude in the silver cape....his adoration of Simon (which I sort of share) was funny because I think he was really sincere. But I gotta say, the stupid song was running through my head ALL NIGHT.

The wierdest audition for me was the chic in red whose inspiration was Celine.....

And what's up with all the cross dressers in Dallas???:shock:

[rockford2]

On Tuesday night, "American Idol" audiences were introduced to Kristy Lee Cook, the winsome 23-year-old kickboxing cage-fighter from Oregon who purportedly sold her favorite horse to pay her way to the Philadelphia auditions. Following the two-hour, season-seven premiere, fans rushed to the Internet's various "Idol" forums and message boards, praising Cook's performance and declaring her an early favorite for the show's eventual title crown.

Others, though, went on the offensive to protest the comely blonde's "Idol" eligibility, considering she's not exactly the greenest contender in the running. Of course, there were a few others who just couldn't help but comment on the obvious: "That chick's so freakin' hot."

Cook, as MTV News reported Tuesday, is a country artist who was once signed to Arista Nashville and managed by Marty Rendelman, who counts LeAnn Rimes as a former client. Cook also had a deal with Britney Spears' production company, and the embattled pop star was set to appear in one of Cook's videos. Spears never did appear in the clip, which is probably a good thing, seeing as it featured a half-naked dude and images of the Confederate flag.

More at the link, and a picture of Cook, in case you don't remember her.

Thanks for the link, Claudia. I remember her outfit, :girl_haha: it was so darn cute, but I don't remember her singing.

There was another young lady on Wednesday night who had a nice voice and she was a cutie too. Should be interesting.

[TeeOne]

I saw the asian man with the silver cape on tv this a.m., the one that wrote the song about Simon......
That Kristy Cook was alittle too good for someone off the street and if she had a recording contract in Nashville, I think that alone should disqualify her:0009:

Yes! Her top - I want it SO bad! That's all I could say while I was watching her - "I want that TOP!" It was so cute!

[TeeOne]

Yes! Her top - I want it SO bad! That's all I could say while I was watching her - "I want that TOP!" It was so cute!

What did she sing, look like and what did the top look like?????

[Claudia]

What did she sing, look like and what did the top look like?????

She can imitate other singers, and they had her do Britney Spears first, then some country singer that I didn't know, then she sang in her own voice. She sang a country song & I know nothing about country music, so I couldn't tell ya what it was.

Her top is another story. I can describe it in detail!!! It was red, off the shoulders, solid red to just below the bust (on the sleeves too) then below that, it was red & white tie dye. The sleeves were long & belled out at the end. It was so cute! Loved it, gotta have it!:s1gyahoo:

Trina - is your son's dog a Shar Pei? My brother had 2 of them, they were great dogs, but the female was very protective of her puppies! Their female actually bit their daughter's friend when she leaned over to look at the pups. The one & only time she was ever aggressive. She was a rescue, though, and had some issues.

Claudia,
I remember the girl now, the country singer she did was Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats". I know becuz I love Carrie!
My son's dog, Chevy is a mistake, she's part Shar Pei and part Boxer and she's a wonderful pet! The ppl raised Shar Pei's but the neighbor's Boxer got under the fence....lol

[rockford2]

anyone see the two friends who auditioned together, last night? One girl had a crush on Randy while the other liked Simon.

GOOD singers!!! :s1gyahoo:

Here's good luck to both of them!!:zm10:

Didn't care for the 16 yr old at the end. She had a bit of a 'tude. :rolleye0001:

Simon is a handsome man........ooooh weeee :22wink:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovborwDaooQ&feature=related


There is so much talent this season but this kid...he's definately one to keep an eye on....

Not only can he sing, he's such a sweetheart!!!!! If I had a daughter, he would so be allowed take her on a date if he wanted...and that's saying alot if you know me....

OMG! You know I don't watch AI, but I respect your opinion in all things, so I came in here and watched that clip.

It takes a lot of balls to perform a John Lennon song, especially Imagine. The guy can sing... but no, he can't do that song justice IMO. No one can.

Forgive me, I'm the biggest critic when it comes to this stuff. No one can do The Beatles or John correctly. :girl_haha:

ROFL! Check your email! I sent you this already! I know it doesn't measure up to Lennon standards but give him some credit....the boy has pipes!!!!

It definately takes some cahuna's to do any Lennon song - Especially one like Imagine. I agree that no one can do a Lennon song justice like Lennon himself....but the kid can sing and I thought, from a 17 year olds perspective he did a hell of a job.....

Or maybe it's just that David's just so darned sweet? I don't know...but this has been my favorite performance so far....that's not to say the same thing as David is my favorite...but he's in my top three for sure. :s1gyahoo:

Hee. I'm on hubby's computer so I can't check my e-mail. I definitely will tomorrow though!

You know I love ya! But I'm a real bitch when it comes to Lennon. I can't help it... I'm sorry, please forgive me and please continue to love me. :girl_sad:

That said, the guy had the balls to do the song... so I give him that.

Oh, you know I love ya, sweetie! Nothing would or could change that....and there is absolutely nothing to forgive! Figured you were on your dh's pc! It was just funny to me because, of course, it doesn't measure up to Lennon standards! So when I saw your reply it made me laugh because I know how much of a Lennon fan you are!!! Just like this Survivor, this is one of the best AI seasons (IMO) and David is a big part of it...=) Lot's of talent this season.

[Tam5115]

I'm now on my PC and about to check my e-mail

I'm going to hate myself tomorrow... I should be sleeping.

not to mention how regular posters in this thread will hate me for going OT and mucking up their AI obsession. :grin:

I think he is the CUTEST THING EVER!!! I wish I had a daughter that could date him! :girl_haha:

On top of being adorable, he can sing his tail off! The rest of those guys are going to have a terrible time beating him. I think most of America is already completely in love with him. I know I am! I could just squeeze him til he pops! :love0085:

I'm also a huge Beatles fan and I don't really think younger people can't relate to Beatles music quite like we do becuz we were there. There music was more than music it was a feeling, a way of life, a great time to be young!
I was in a Beatles fan club and in love with Paul......:girl_haha:

He's a sweet, talented kid who any parent would be lucky to have date their daughter! I think he's definately the one to beat this year although, I will say, I think this is the most talented top 24 I've seen in the last few seasons. Not sure what all the fuss is over Carly because I think several of the other girls have better voices - must be a matter of taste. Michael Johns is really good too...

Yeah, I agree. This is a very talented group. I love Michael Johns, too. The boy with dreads - he's also one of my favorites. I can't choose one fav, those 3 are my top ones. I'm not terribly impressed with any of the girls. I think the boys definitely outshine the girls this year.

Who got the boot last night?

Danny, a blond girl (helpful, huh?), that other guy with the high pitched voice & Asia (she spells it different, but I don't know her spelling).

Wow - I didn't do so hot with the names... :duh:

Oh - the blond girl wasn't Brooke or Kelly Ann (?) it was the other one....

The "blonde" was Kady Malloy....=) I think I was pretty happy with the top 12 except for Asia'h Efferson - I couldn't believe she got the boot over Kristy Lee :shock:

I think the reason Danny didn't make it was strictly song choice - he's got a killer voice but his song selection made him seem like a joke on stage.

I like the blond haired girl, wavy hair, she sang "Let it Be" and played the piano, she did it perfect, not changing it too much and not over doing it. Awesome!

Dang, last time I peeked in here y'all weren't here. This Dell is acting horsier by the day!

Brooke was the only one that didn't make me click on mute.

Maybe my expectations are too high when it comes to singing The Beatles. Nah...they sucked.

I gotta agree with your assessment so far (I'm halfway through right now) - definately over singing the songs tonight....

Every Idol season, I make a first pick from the finalists that made it to Hollywood. This year, my pick for winner is David Cook. While typing this, I did a google search just to make sure I spelled his name right and look what I just found:

David Cook Continues to be Great Bet to Win American Idol Season 7

http://www.gambling911.com/David-Cook-American-Idol-031208.html

This would be my first correct "first pick" if David Cook wins this year.

My husband thinks Carly Smithson from Ireland will win. I could see her and David Cook as the final 2 but I think Chikezie will be the one to really watch out for.

Yeah - what is with Ryan all up on Jacuzzi??? I mean, he was patting him all over last night - ew. I agree the Simon/Ryan thing isn't even remotely amusing anymore. It's worn slam out.

[TeeOne]

Yeah - more (Beatles) Lennon/Mccartney songs!!! Maybe those kids will now know NOT to over-sing/produce these already 'perfect' songs.
I was telling my sil, who doesn't really know Beatles music, you can't do it any better than the original when it comes to a Beatles song!

I didn't like the way she sang the sone at all, so I didn't really pay attention, but she is really pretty....(not that that matters whatsoever).

Katherine McPhee could have selected a better song to showcase her vocals. I still remember her beautiful rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. She is always dressed to the nines. I love her clothes!!

My bottom 3 are Kristie Lee Cook, Skunk Girl, and I don't have a third. I am looking, and can't pick one! I can't pick Jason, because I just love him, even though I was disappointed last night. It seemed kind of Barry Manilow-ish to me. I hope he is safe for next week. :innocent0001:

David Archuletta is simply the cutest thing I think I have ever seen. He is so shy & he gets embarrassed when the girls holler at him, it's precious.

Oh, yeah - Ramielle (however you spell it) didn't shine last night like she has been. I was disappointed in her performance, too.

My top 4 picks are David Archuleta, Michael Johns, Jason Castro and Brooke White. Not only do they have some awesome pipes, they have a genuine humility that really appeals to me.

I really like Ramiele too - she just picked a horrible track last night. Amanda can sing but I'm not really into the whole southern rock scene.

I hope that Kristy Lee goes home tonight followed very soon by Chiquize (sp?). They just aren't up to par with the rest of them vocally speaking IMO. They put me to shame though!

I am quite impressed with the talent this season - I don't think I've ever had so many favorites at this stage - I've usually whittled it down to just one or two by now.

I agree! This is a very talented group. The best I have ever seen.

I adore Jason Castro. There is something about the way he sings I just love. i think it's the way he sings out of the side of his mouth sometimes. Silly, huh? He just seems so into it when he's singing.

I love Southern Rock, but I am over Amanda. :rolleye0001:

[Isabella]

There isn’t much on the Top 40 charts these days that sounds anything like Amanda Overmyer. Apparently, there’s a good reason for that.

Overmyer became the second of the 12 finalists voted off “American Idol” on Wednesday. The “rock and roll nurse,” as Randy Jackson called her, had one of the most memorable personalities among the contestants, but her song choices didn’t connect with the viewers.

I'm glad Amanda was voted off. I found her Janice Joplin style annoying after a while. All the songs she sang began to sound the same~~screaming notes. It would have been good if she could have changed it up a bit at times.

Glad you said that! I thought it was just me. It does sound like sometimes she has no accent at all! Very strange. She has a beautiful voice, but I don't really like her for some reason. This is a talent comp, though, and based on talent alone, she should stay for a while longer.

I was glad to see Amanda go, she was boring me to tears - all her songs sounded the same. I do not understand, though, how Kristy Lee Cook squeaked thru again. IMO, she should have been gone weeks ago. How the heck she is still around is a complete mystery to me.

I was surprised they allowed Carly to stay. She was a professional singer at one time, just didn't follow it all the way.

Amanda was okay, she reminded me of the legendary Janis Joplin. I think she should have stayed over Kristy Lee. I don't know why Kristy is still in it.

My top 4 picks are David Archuleta, Michael Johns, Jason Castro and Brooke White. Not only do they have some awesome pipes, they have a genuine humility that really appeals to me.

Yes, Jason Castro and Brooke remind me of folk singers. I like how humble they truly are.

Michael Johns is another who can sing but always plays it safe.

I don't much like the attitude of David Cook. His expressions while singing just make me want to throw up. He acts as if he is the most handsome and most talented in the group. I think he needs a rude awakening....just so he can eat some humble pie....

David Archuleta is so shy, sweet and innocent. I hope he keeps that attitude even after making it big...

Ramiele has no confidence within, yet she does have a voice. If only she would let it show, as the judges say....

My sentiments about all of them exactly. I am not sure how Kristy Lee has managed to squeak by all this time either - except that she is the only "Country" singer this season so I guess all the CM fans are voting for her - there is no one for her to split their vote with. I really hope she's out of there soon though. This is starting to remind me of the Sanjaya awfulness from last season where alot of talented people were voted off before him. Some even more talented, IMO, than Jordin Sparks.

I, too, hope Hollywood doesn't ruin David A. Every week, I expect him to come out more arrogant than the last but so far so good. Only time will tell....I just love his voice.

My favs from last night were Jason Castro (as usual), David Cook, and Michael Johns. For some reason I'm just not loving any of the girls this time.

I agree with Ramiele and Jason Castro but I'd like to add Chekezie to that list.

Kristy Lee picked a great song, so I think she's safe this week.

I'd like to add, I sometimes can't follow what Paula Abdul says...I think she was looking good for some weeks but last night, she didn't look as good, she can't seem to get those words to flow....:girl_haha:

[TeeOne]

Paula Abdoul was interviewed by our local radio station this a.m. Her rep's ask that one of the radio djay's be absent from the interview. He is on that constantly makes fun of her on the air; saying she is a using, has been, unrealistically favorable gushing judge.
Anyhow they got him out of the station and the interview went fine......:girl_haha:
I was kinda surprised that her rep's can keep track of all the radio stations across the nation that closely:thud2:

[Claudia]

Ya'll really put Jason Castro in the bottom 3??? I think I may cry. :girl_sad:

If he gets booted, I will be crushed. Jacuzzi I can take or leave. He doesn't impress me or offend me.

I think Michael Johns was excellent last night. He did a great job. Taking on Freddie Mercury is no small feat, and he pulled it off very well.

As far as Paula last night - wow. She was having major trouble getting her thoughts out, wasn't she? I was sitting there going, "huh?" almost every time she spoke.

I think at the end of the day the last four standing will be David Cook, Michael Johns, David Archuleta and Jason Castro. I predict one by one the girls will go as will Chickezie (sp.) JMHO.

I think they need to get a different hairdresser for the guys. I am not a fan of dreadlocks but I think the style fits Jason's persona. It plays up his beautiful eyes. Try2, besides shaving, what style do you think would work on him?

I think you're probably correct, David Archuleta's dad is making it impossible for all involved. Archueta may not make it to the finals if daddy doesn't stop what he's doing.

Re David Archuleta: Allegedly his dad is a 'stage dad' that comes down hard on David if his performance is not perfect. There is also gossip and rumor that he has interjected himself by bothering another contestant on a previous competition. It is gossip so I don't know if it is true.

Harmony - I read the same thing about David's dad being a 'stage dad' and sometimes abrasive.
On another note, the Enquirer has an article about Amanda Overmyers being a drug addict. But, the article was penned by an x boyfriend, who admitted to being a former addict himself. The title "Fallen 'Idol' star's life of METH, COKE & OVERSOSES"
Okay so she's already gone for what's the 'scoop' about that? I say the Enquirer (altho I read weekly) should have saved their money:nonono:

I loved David A, Syesha, Brooke & Kristie (she looked adorable).

[Harmony]

The song David A. sang really touched me. It brought back memories of 'family' , 'growing up', and beloved deceased family members (my mother, great grandparents, grandparents, older aunts and uncles). It made me reminisce about gatherings out in the country (my family owns acreage) and love and unity. I would purchase it!

Kristy is a good country singer and I think she needs to stick with that genre of music. Brooke is special too, she reminds me of the old folk singers.

I think Ramiele will be the one to leave tonight, she hasn't been consistant with her songs....

Syesha has a great voice only she couldn't top Whitney Houston with that song, wrong choice again....

I think Simon was dead on about Carly's wardrobe...she's gotta do something about that.

I enjoyed most of the performances last night with David A. and Michael being my favorites. Even though I think Kristy did a decent job last night, I still hope she's the one to go tonight. She gets on my nerves...alot. Her attempts at humor just fall a bit flat to me and she comes across more annoying than funny. She did look beautiful last night though - maybe she can give Carly some styling tips before she leaves....

I do think it will be Ramiele that actually leaves tonight - I think she's adorable and has massive pipes but she just seems to lack the confidence she really needs at this stage.

Dolly looks wonderful. She has managed to keep her weight down, she has such a small waist...You go, Dolly. I wondered what her talk about Simon was all about. Did you see the face he made when Dolly addressed him...:girl_haha:

I think the public called it right.

Ramiele was never consistant even though she has a voice. It really doesn't matter, being in the top 10, she's going on tour and I'll bet someone will back her with a record deal.

I think as long as Kristy is singing country, she will do fine.

I think the top three will be David A, David C and Michael Johns....at least I hope so! :)

I see at least one girl in the top 3, that being either Carly or Brooke. jmo

I definately think that it will be the two Davids in the finale. jmo

David A is ahead this morning.

Honestly, I don't think Jason will win. I love him, but that doesn't mean he deserves to win AI.

I think David A or Michael Johns will/should win. They have the best voices & the most range as far as types of songs they can sing. Jason is kinda hippie-ish & not the commercial "pop" type they want to win this show.

Oh, well... the person I like the most never wins. I think most of the contestants left now will get record deals & will probably do well. They are quite a talented group.

I hope one of those two ladies will make it all the way. I don't think the public is voting much for the woman.

Seems the men rule this year! http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d112/nevadabound/happy-1.gif

I did not watch season 1 at all.

The only season I picked the winner was when Carrie Underwood won.

I wanted Eliott Yamin to win the year he was a contestant.

I agree with them. I think it will be between the two Davids in the end.

David A and Michael Johns are my two top pics this season too - I do like Jason alot and I hope he gets a contract after the show. He's adorable...

The person I root for almost never wins too so I know how you feel....I've only had one that I was rooting for from the beginning actually win out of all the AI seasons. I was so rooting for Melinda Doolittle last season and swore I'd never watch it again after she was voted out. But....here I am.....hooked again.

I think Jason will definitely get a contract after Idol - he's adorable, popular with the girls, not to mention his voice is fantastic!

There has never been one I rooted for from the beginning that has even made it to the top 10. I must have horrible taste in singers! Prime example - nobody else on here likes my boy Jason at all - except you, Saber!

[Harmony]

Claudia, I like Jason and I don't think you have bad taste in singers at all. Obviously, voters on Larry King agreed with you. I think the two David's and Michael have a wider vocal range and have dynamic stage presence so I think they will beat out Jason for the top three spots. I think it is possible Jason could be in the top five or six, he has alot of the teen vote. Out of millions that tried out that is not a bad place to be and will open lots of doors for him. What place was Jennifer Hudson when she was on Idol? She went on to be in 'Dream Girls' and to win an award.

I was just watching Larry King Live and Ryan mentioned that the result show is on Thursday night this week and Idol Gives Back is the entire show on Wednesday.

Thursday's result show starts at 8pm est and lasts 1 hour. Appearing as guest singers that night will be Chris Brown and Jordon Sparks singing "No Air".


ok now i got it straight, "idol gives back" starts at 7:30 est wednesday night and goes to 10 pm est

sorry for the confusion. :basic45:
