eh, shows you what you know. Kelly Clarkson IS NOT karaoke, and there are some on this show who will follow in her footsteps.

Karaoke is the singing of someone else's song without actually playing the music yourself, right? Isn't that what they do on that show or did they start doing originals?

they take the song and make it their own. so it isn't like reading the words off a prompter and singing the song methodically like the original singer.

to call what they are doing karaoke is an insult and when one of the judges says that (Simon) he is doing just that to show them that is not how they should be singing.

Kellie Pickler is the female anti-christ. I cannot stand that phony, self-absorbed b!tch. Enough of your stupid grandfather already. And your comments last night about your chosen song and how hard it would be to lose your man - maybe you need to tell America how you dumped your BF when you found out you were going to Hollywood. But first, how about retracting the statement from a few weeks ago that you NEVER have performed in front of an audience, when, in fact, you placed runner-up in your state's version of American Idol. You stupid, lying b!tch.


Go Chris and Taylor.

Well, I think we've now confirmed that Kellie Pickler pissed in CPA's Cheerios at some point in time.

Actually, I have never seen this 'Simon' say anything on that show so it's not like I'm taking his words and making them my own. (the irony!) The previews of the show make it look like glorified karaoke. Hell, at least people who are singing cover songs at the local bar at least have to play the instruments as well.

these are much better than bar acts for the most part. you should watch it and be better able to judge.

A few random observations (they may seem mean-spirited to some, but I'm a pragmatist!):

- Winning would actually hurt Chris Daughtry - he needs to be in a rock band, not a solo artist burdened by an American Idol recording contract.

- Kevin Covais sucks to a degree that is almost unbelievable.

- Katharine McPhee is much bustier than I had ever noticed before. I am developing quite a crush on her, and she's a wonderful singer. I'd like to see her win.

- Mandisa is very talented, but it's simply unrealistic to think that the public will embrace a woman this obese, at this point in her career. I don't see her winning.

- Similarly, I really like Taylor Hicks, but he's not American Idol material - he's better than that in many respects, but in any case he isn't going to sell any records to teenagers.

- Bucky Covington should be gone soon, along with Lisa Tucker.

- Paris is really, really weird looking at times, but very talented.

- I don't care at all about Ace Young, and I'm quite sure I never will.

- Kelli Pickler is very talented and could easily win, which is odd in that she's kind of a slightly inferior version of Carrie Underwood.

- Elliott Yamin really needs to get those teeth fixed before he'll be marketable. Very talented singer, though.

I think the real contenders are Chris Daughtry, Kelli Pickler, and Katharine McPhee. We shall see . . .

actually, simon said she was better than Underwood. and the one performance i heard from underwood on this show (she did a guest performance this season) wasn't anywhere near as good as kellie song tonite.

she definitely has a shot at winning, i don't think she is the best vocalist, but she has potential to win.

bah, i don't think kellie should win. her airheadedness/never left NC'edness is getting to me. they're backhandedly mocking her "so kellie, learn anything new this week?" remarks, etc.

she's more entertaining than carrie, because carrie doesn't have that over the top personality kellie has, which is probably why simon likes her. i just don't think she's smoothed out enough to get to how good carrie is.

kellie picked a really good song for her this week. it fit her voice well.

For some reason this season has really drawn me in. Probably because of Chris and Taylor.

Taylor has a great smoky voice, but he's too spastic and too gray to win. unfortunately that is how vain this competition is.

I don't know, he's got by far the largest fan base on Idolonfox.com forums. I think he has a good shot.

It's interesting we can finally agree on something!

If I can temporarily put aside my crush on Katharine McPhee, I'd like to see Taylor win. Although I think Chris is talented, I hate hate hate his genre of angry-young-man-with-a-rock'n'roll-underbite, Nickelback-esque, soulless crap rock. Taylor at least makes music that has some flavor and emotion. I just can't imagine kids (who, let's face it, are the target market for American Idol) buying Taylor's records under any foreseeable circumstances.

If it's true Katharine is pregnant (which would indeed make some sense), it will certainly add a dramatic wrinkle. If it's Kevin Covais' kid, I am going to shoot my TV like Elvis.

i actually agree with you 100%.

there is a rumor going around that McPhee is pregnant. i must say her last two outfits did look something along the maternity line. maybe that is why her boobies seem to be getting bigger by the episode too.

i think Pickler is going to win it all, and Daughtry will go on his merry way like Bo Bice did without those American Idol contracts. Daughtry is by far my favorite overall, but yet i hope he is only the runner up.

I called McPhee preggers a few shows back!:shocked:

 

[PlatinumGold]

looks like Lisa is going to get the boot tonite.

she can REALLY REALLY sing unlike the other two bottom 3 (namely kevin and bucky) but she doesn't have a contingent the way the other two losers do.

if i'm wrong and either kevin or bucky get the boot, i'll be pleasantly surprised, but i just don't trust america's taste.

Guess not. I agree she's more talented than either of the other two, particularly Kevin.

Woohoo! It's about friggin' time they got rig of that little dork Kevin!

OMG AMERICA GOT IT RIGHT.

OMFG, FINALLY KEVIN IS GONE.

now, there is only bucky to root for to leave, after that, it's pretty much anyones to win i think.

 

[Proletariat]

OMG stop watching this show.

I am the first to admit it's a little embarrassing that I watch American Idol, but I think it's even more embarrassing that you have nothing better to do than come into an American Idol thread to tell people to stop watching.

why should anyone EVER be embarrased by a persona style choice? if i like how something looks, feels, sounds, tastes or smells i couldn't care less what anyone else thinks about it.

 

[tjaisv]

The 50's theme just didn't work. Most of the song choices were boring and most of the performances were simply ok. One of the worst episodes this season, IMO.

 

[Queasy]

Wow...I can't believe that Kevin got booted off. I thought his "fanbase" would carry him at least one more week.

 

[Pepsei]

yay, harry potter is gone...

Even Chris let me down. I like what he did with walk the line, but it was a little too low for him.
