I feel that Todrick (sadface) and Tim are leaving us tonight. The Girls, I can't say since I didn't watch their individual performances. They should've stayed on the expected night.

I'm having a had time figuring out what America is basing it's votes on. Any ideas? This is ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Insider;159682]I'm having a had time figuring out what America is basing it's votes on. Any ideas? This is ridiculous.[/QUOTE] I agree. I used to look foward to watching Idol. This year, it seems like more of a chore than a pleasure. The contestants need to step it up! [SPOILER]I really can't believe Tim Urban is still there. Ridiculous. [/SPOILER]

I agree with both of you 100%. People are going home that are so much better than quite a few people who are still around!! I'm frustrated. (accent on the 2nd syllabel).

Ok. Now I'm sad. [SPOILER]I think John and Jermaine should still be around. [/SPOILER]
How come you guys are using spoiler tags? Haven't the results already been revealed?
Starting next week, I think we should have a normal idol thread (this one, that respects west coast broadcast) and a special east coast thread so we do not have to talk in tags/code. :D
[QUOTE=molds13;159688]How come you guys are using spoiler tags? Haven't the results already been revealed?[/QUOTE] We are trying to be nice to the West Coasters. Don't do it in any other thread topic, but if there is a feeling we should than I think we should go the route proposed above.

Great idea. Let's start a seperate East Coast thread. It will be our own little spoiler thread. :)
I think America got half of the vote right tonight. Lacey should have absolutely gone before Michelle and I think that Todrick should have gone before John. Top 12 Predictions: Crystal Bowersox Shioban Magnus Lily Scott Katelyn Epperly Katie Stevens Didi Benami Alex Lambert Michael Lynche Andrew Garcia Aaron Kelly Casey James Lee DeWyze
Thanks for the spoiler tag effort but for me at least, if I come on here before west coast broadcast I assume I am going to be spoiled. ;) I thought the vote was pretty right on this time. Though I would have switched out Paige for Michelle, but I'm not too upset about it. Thank goodness Haeley is gone!! I was afraid that she would be sticking around because teen girls would like her and relate to her. Luckily I don't have to listen to the screeching anymore. I definitely agree with your Top 12, GHV. Those are obviously the better people and unless they turn out horrible performances I think that is who we will end up with.
I think Lacey did terrible and I actually like Haeley...I wasn't too happy with the votes, and even Michelle did good. ):
Im not shocked by the 2 guys that went home. John wasnt that good and Jermaine picked bad songs. Im glad Todrick made it through, i hope he picks a good song this week. Im glad Haeley went home she is really bad. But I cant believe that Michelle went home. To me she was one of the better girls, alot better than Lacey and Paige. At least Didi made it through.
This week was a lot better, but I'm not too big of a fan for this year.
[QUOTE=blackinwhite;159946]This week was a lot better, [B]but I'm not too big of a fan for this year[/B].[/QUOTE] I am with you on this 1!! It sucks. Not 1 person stands out to me as the american idol.

Siobhan did do a good job tonight, im starting to like her more and more each week. I think Didi was amazing tonight, i am really glad because she is my favorite girl by far.

I think Crystal Bowersox might be our next American Idol.
[QUOTE=Insider;160585]I think Crystal Bowersox might be our next American Idol.[/QUOTE] And I was personally hoping for someone that had all their teeth and washed their hair. Maybe next year. ;)

[QUOTE=Bacchus;160586]And I was personally hoping for someone that had all their teeth and washed their hair. Maybe next year. ;)[/QUOTE] I like her and all, but I just feel the need to brush her teeth.
[QUOTE=RMD1;160588]I like her and all, but I just feel the need to brush her teeth.[/QUOTE] Maybe she is the best of the bunch, but she doesn't market to me. Her voice seems "short stroked" and with all the covers she has done, they might have been good, but not something if I was in A&R would immediately slap down on a record. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2kEx5BLoC4]YouTube - Tracy Chapman - Give me one reason[/url] Simon had it right the first time he saw her and while she would sound great at Starbucks playing for quarters, she is not a pop idol of any real caliber. Of course, neither are any of the other members of this cast of misfits.
I have a statement and a question. My statement is AI seems to be 1 hour now. My question is once they have 12 people in the top 12 how many are they sending home each week begnning next week. I forgot. I remember they did a wild card in season 7 but if they are ending May 26th, I wonder. [QUOTE=Bacchus;160586]And I was personally hoping for someone that had all their teeth and washed their hair. Maybe next year. ;)[/QUOTE] lol. That was nice, lol. But seriously though I used to have dreadlocks and made it a priority to always wash my hair on a daily basis. "Knots" and all.
[QUOTE=Old Friend;160593] lol. That was nice, lol. But seriously though I used to have dreadlocks and made it a priority to always wash my hair on a daily basis. "Knots" and all.[/QUOTE] It was the wrong statement to make (although funny at the time, lol.) What I should have said from the start was, I don't find her attractive (so she gets no pass there like Didi would if she could actually nail a song) and her rendition of Tracy Chapman's anthem was grades below par. I want to hear singers that make me think their cover is better than the original. There is no chance of that this season. Rather, it is who can sing good singer's songs, the "least worst." I'm sure network had a talk with Simon and company after last week and said, "You have to at least say [I]some[/I] of them are good." Let's not forget, this is not a talent show. This is supposed to be a pop star contest. There is a big difference. We are not comparing them to each other, but rather to their LA rivals with recording contracts and gold records on the walls.

wow - the boys are impressing me tonight. i thought the girls were so boring last night, i'm enjoying all the song selections tonight. they all seem more modern than last night, so far.
Lee was pretty good. i hate the song he sang but i liked his version of it. I dont agree at all with what the judges said about Andrew, that was a good performance. Tim and Alex where decent, i dont really care much about either of them.
They're all ok. I think the problem is I don't generally listen to most of this music, ever. I'm an Idol half empty kind of guy. ;)
