American Idle! - Page 13

Ok, I've now seen exactly one song from this season's American Idol so I feel perfectly qualified to make a selection.

Blake's first song tonight is the one I saw. I don't even know who he is competing against. But since he beatboxed and beatboxing is the world's third most annoying activity (behind Darfur and Elderhostel) I decree he should lose.

I think the guy sucks. Jordin is good.

However, Idols ratings are down significantly thsi year, and I think that is due to the quality of the top ten being WAY down from the last couple of seasons.

But, this is from someone who has maybe heard each singer in the last few season two or three times each. So what do I know?

So each year you vote for the most feminine contestant?

I voted for Clay, Fantasia and Bo. I'm not sure anymore if I voted for Katherine or Taylor; I didn't think either of them deserved to be in the finals.

I thought tonight was pretty tepid. The special awful song was unusually awful. It certainly wasn't written with a man in mind. But, vote I must, so I'm voting for Jordin.

Then, in another hour: Apolo or Joey?

I didnt vote for either last night.The show was dreadful, it was boring and the i neither has star power... I am going to half assed-ly going to watch the finale tonight,, while i remote control my hearts delight to other stations. I am just waiting to see if they do the singing team-up's that they did last year....

And the song that was chosen was not really a powerful one.. it had some great lyrics.. but heh!!!!

Well based on last night, tonight it'll be Jordan. The song choices just weren't there for Blake last night, he didn't 'own' bon jovi like his first time performance and the Song they both had to sing, Simon was dead on, Jordan wiped the floor with Blake which is kind of sad since I do think he is the better performer.

I didn't vote last night either. My wife, who had to miss the show, favors Blake, so we cancel each other out. The kids also favor Blake, but this isn't a democracy.

My next challenge will be avoiding getting hooked on "On the Lot." As opposed to "on the LoT."

I'm safe from anything Tuesday nights because my obsession with Deadliest Catch has made me not give a damn about missing AI or any other deal that might come between me and some fishermen on the Bering Sea. And now they're adding a second show with the guys BSing in the bar after the season's over!

Oh, and um... I thought Blake should win because he has a more original sound than the others. Even if he does overdo the beatboxing.

Okay, I know you don't like mojo, but.. I'm sorry, I just have to send some your way. That was too damn funny!

Strangler Lewis~ Haha! I am extremely girly, so maybe I'm just drawn to all things femme & estrogen-spiked?

Actually, that's not true. I tend to vote for contestants that, if given the choice, I think I might actually purchase their CD. I never do (with the exception of Kelly Clarkson & Carrie Underwood) but that's my thought process. Taylor, Ruben, Fantasia & Clay with all due respect, are just not my cup o' tea. Especially Taylor! I was a Chris Daughtry fan last season!

Speaking of Chris Daughtry, he was certainly sportin' plenty of eye make-up last night. He had smoldering, Cleopatra eyes. All he needed was the black bobbed hairdo & little crown.

Oh, and those songs that they always have to sing on the finale, as their first single or release, are just so heinous. They totally remind me of a poor man's version of a crappy Diane Warren song. The lyrics were pretty on last night's song, but it seemed specifically taylor-made for Jordin. She has the vocal stylings needed to make that song sound beautiful. Poor Blake. That was just not his style!

I just remember last year the both finalists having two different songs? or am i dreaming????

AllyOops! · 05-23-2007, 12:54 PM

Ooh! Did they?

I'm trying to remember..

Damn!! Now I need to know!!

I just remember hearing Taylor's song non-stop on my old office radio (which was always set to KOST 103.5). All of those AI finale songs always celebrate their "moment". The lifetime wait, the struggle, their overdue time to shine.

They should all just be forced to sing the Titanic song. It's basically in the same genre & I'd enjoy it more. Isn't that what it's all about? Making my selective ass happy? Okay, maybe not..
