American Idle!

[madmonkeygirl]

Ok i did watch a bit of it during LOST (damn me for changing channels but changed back in the nick of time there). First off i'm glad i missed Sanjia (spelling there) thankfully i couldn't stand him at all anyways. I think this season there to me wasn't that great a talent as previous seasons. Sure the contestants can sing but to me it just wasn't amazing it was rather blah.


I guess when it comes down to it i knew Jordin was gonna win anyways.

Plus i think i have Daughtry fever now. Only two more days til i see him in concert. Sorry but if i have to suffer thru an American Idol concert i want it to be Chris Daughtry that i'm sitting thru. Otherwise i wouldn't pay any money to see any of them.

want to find out who won...

[AllyOops!]

So this is Jordin's "now"...

Is it my lot in life to bring defeat to any Idol contestant that I root & vote for?!?! Carrie Underwood was the only one who escaped that curse when I voted & rooted for her! However, having said that, I was very excited for Jordin. She's a lovely & talented girl with such a vibrant "spark" to her (hardy har har).

This Thread is so important to me that I'm actually posting on it when it's way past my bedtime. Some people dream of becoming American Idols. Others dream of posting on the American Idol Thread.

I really enjoyed tonight's finale!! So much fun with mega-watt star power!

Highlights?

*Doug E. Fresh & Blake Lewis! How much fun was that?!? I loved that song when it was popular! If only I could remember the name of it! Anybody?

*The girls looked so lovely in their white dresses! In fact, all of the fashions tonight were so beautiful! Kudos, stylists! The girls & boys looked stunning!

*2 words: Gwen Stefani. I loved the song & the pink poofy golden bow dress! Gwen is like, one of my very favorites EVER.

*All of the former Idols (sans Fantasia) reuniting and singing on stage together!

*Kelly Clarkson has an amazing voice! I was very excited to see her perform on stage again!

Lastly..

*Sanjaya. This is so unbelievably wrong, but with his hip trenchcoat and wind-blown locks, Sanjaya was one smokin' piece of ass. And I'm going to rot because biologically I'm old enough to be that boy's mother. And that breaks my heart for so many reasons.

I can't wait to hear what y'all have to say! I'll have so much more to add tomorrow! Nighty-night, friends!

Ooh! madmonkeygirl! I need to send you my cell phone number!!!!

I didn't watch much, but I did catch Sanjaya. I thought his performance was better and more fun than last time because he played up being a rock star. The vocal was still weak, though. He doesn't have the power to walk and sing. I wonder if they paid that little girl more than her seats to embarrass her again.

Carrie sounded weird and weak. Like she had back spasms or something.

Thanks for that insight... I was thinking more like she had some major beany del taco hours before and was feeling the stomach muscles screaming.. "Let me out, let me out!"

LOL....

Umm.. Ally... how can you be a mother to a 17 year old if you're 25? That makes absolutely NO sense to me!

I do think that Sanjaya looked ok. That's it. Just ok. His bad singing annoys me, but B loves it We were constantly butting heads about how "good" he is. She also loved Haley. heh...

[~MS~]

Agree that Sanjaya had the same problem last night as always, he just didn't have the vocals to carry him and I am of the opinion that only vote for the worst kept him around as long as he was. As to the final vote wowzers on the numbers. I was disappointed but not surprised at the results. I won't claim that they are rigged but anyone else notice, the winner pattern tends to be boy girl boy girl? Be it that they slanted the song choice in favor of Jordan or just pure luck that "my now" song while on it's own is still just 'eh', it was as opposite of Blakes style as country week was.

The show last night was LONG and the golden Idols were at best 'tacky' ..... I don't even have words for the first one with the overaged, outrageously attired person. Then the best friend award where they inform him that they are officially sponsoring the little critter and they've named it Simon? Granted the boys had to agree to the humilation but still....tacky.

[AllyOops!]

Wow!! In regards to Carrie Underwood's vocals, I was thinking that something was a little "off" my own self during her first performance. As the show progressed, I thought she sounded much better, but that first performance? Everytime she sung the word "you" it sounded a little.. "off".

The Golden Idol awards are pretty hokey. It reminds me of something they would hand out at a lame-o High School Senior Breakfast. You know, where the students & staff thinks it's pure hilarity and it's anything but.

~MS~ - I was thinking of the boy/girl ratio last night, too! The only time it's ever been broken was with Kelly Clarson & Fantasia Barrino, correct? Wasn't Fantasia season 2? It makes you wonder when Randy Jackson stated at the beginning of the season that he predicted a "curly haired girl" would win. That she did, Randy!

I'll really miss AI now that it's in slumber until January 2008. My Grandma & I make watching AI our "together activity" and it always gives us so much to talk about. I thought this was an amazing season contrary to most everybody else!

[~MS~]

Ally, you and your grammy can just substitute so you think you can dance til AI comes back in Jan!

[AllyOops!]

Ooh! Thank you for the suggestion, ~MS~!! Have you seen it? Is it a good show?
