[Libra]

Pretty boy is last singer....ok you guys start thinking of your bottom 3 for the night and whose going home

I think Mandisa was best.. Chris second, Paris third, Katherine fourth.  The rest?  Who cares?  I don't think that Pickles was the worst, though. Dumb as she may be, this ain't an Einstein contest.  If it were, I'd win.

[triniqueen27]

im voting for my two girls right now

[SugarBear]

OMG, Pickles is dumb as rocks.

Pickles is Sly like a Fox.  She has that dumb blonde act down to a science.

[Kelly]

I voted for Elliot and Katherine tonight....I liked Chris as usual,Kevin was good...surprised me.....I loved Taylors dancing but Simon didn't...lol....Bucky stunk up the place I think.....Mandisa was really good too...Lisa didnt do a thing for me tonight she needs to get her very good voice under control more....Paris picks old songs and I'd love to here something more contemperary from her but she was good (of course it was 50s so she didnt have much choise i guess...lol)
Ace was ok but I just don't like him much....hes too darned pretty....I truly think Kellie chopped that song and moved around like a robot but the biggest bug about her tonight was her amazing ability to show the world how simple she is....and WHAT was up with her eyelashes????? her voice cuts thru me like a jagged knife..I do NOT like her one tiny bit and it wouldnt bother me a bit to see her go but I really feel it will be bucky or Lisa...just my thoughts on the whole thing

[TwistofF8]

grrrrrr  our ABC affiliate went down at 9:30 right after Lisa sang.  What did I miss?

[Helen]

If Lisa goes home I'm going to be really sad. In the long run, she has a much better voice than Paris, she's just been choosing bad songs. She's adorable and really can sing!!! I blew up the lines for her tonight even though she's not my favorite to win the competition. I just think she deserves to be there much longer than Kevin or Bucky.

[Tara]

grrrrrr  our ABC affiliate went down at 9:30 right after Lisa sang.  What did I miss?

You could kinda scroll back thru our thread here...we talked the whole 2 hours about the show right here

[Tara]

This is going to be really long...Sorry....But its got some funny stuff in it...I have to put it in 2 messages its really friggen long

And we're off. Ryan is standing next to someone who is smiling as though she might have heard Seacrest fart before the cameras went hot. Cue the opening and all the audience clamoring as we wade through tons of posterboard signs with different names emblazoned on them, declaring varying levels of adulation for random horrible contestants.

The contestants come out, and it looks sort of like it's a funeral or Johnny Cash night for a bit, since most of the first group is wearing black. Kevin is just so annoying already.

The theme for tonight is songs from the 1950's, which pretty much makes it identical to the Hollywood auditions. Paula thinks the contestants will be stellar, though she also predicted that New Coke would be the drink of the 80's. Ryan challenges Simon on his weekend press stint and his prediction of the top three (which, incidentally, is Kellie, Taylor, and Chris, with Chris and Taylor making the finale.)

Good grief. What did we ever do to you, Idol, that you have decided to curse us with Barry Manilow? Please, make it stop! The Idols sit at the feet of the alleged "master," and most of them succeed in feigning interest in what he says, with the exception of Chris, who seems to be wondering when it will be Tommy Lee night.

Up first is Mandisa. I don't mean to be one of the makers of fat jokes, but tonight totally disproves that black clothing is slimming. Mandisa went against Barry's advice in opening soft and ending big, which is what she does all the time anyway. Barry says that Mandisa has no range, but I don't think he meant it as an insult, even though it clearly is. One thing is for sure, though. Mandisa is the spitting image of Aretha tonight. I think Mandisa should have started out big too, because the soft opening exposed a bit more shortcomings. However, once she gets it crunk, she really delivers. Tonight she's more in her element, and this is a nice performance. This performance tonight proves what we've known all along, and that is that Mandisa NEEDS to be singing soul. It was definitely hot, and I'm just waiting for Randy to back me up on that. Randy is speechless, with the exception of a barrage of "dawgs" and "yo's." Paula calls Mandisa a thorobred, which again is not an insult, even though it is. Simon thinks it was a sexy performance and that the song should be used as a stripper performance song, which I repeat is not an insult. Wow, Mandisa has some thick ankles. Still, I want to vote for her tonight.

Bucky Covington is up next. Barry criticizes and de-pimps Bucky by saying his song is too repetitive. This is the guy who wrote "Mandy" by the way. I'm ready to drop kick my TV. Bucky will be singing "Oh Boy." At least that's what passes for singing from Bucky. I'll tell you this: the song doesn't make ME want to scream "Oh Boy." Rather, it makes me say "Oh Crap" as I mute the volume. This is just wretched. His stage moves just look mechanical, and he sort of seems to just be marking time. I didn't like that at all. Randy thinks the song was a good choice and compliments his hairstyle choice. Paula has bunnies and puppies on her mind, so she's not going to say too much in the way of negativity. Simon brings it back to reality, saying it's nothing more than a pointless karaoke performance. And again, Paula and Randy attempt to shout her down. Paula lays the hammer down by saying "people love you," as though that is supposed to absolve him for a complete lack of talent. Seriously, Paula, you know as well as I do that you'd never sign him to your own record label. No votes for a bad performance.

Constantine Maroulis and Ryan Cabrera are in the audience. Someone has a record to pimp.

Paris Bennett, whom I shall never ever ever vote for again after her moronic singing ham-fest last week during the Ryan interview, is up next with her pitiful baby voice. Barry strokes her ego for just a moment more. Apparently I missed it when Congress passed a bill that said "Thou shalt not ever under any circumstances say anything negative about Paris." I think Barry and Paula must have been in the same high school choir or something. Paris is going to sing "Fever." It's really about time for this girl to consult a stylist. I can say okay to the yellow Marilyn Monroe dress, as long as she's not standing over an air vent, but the hair and the 95 thousand wigs have to go. I'm bored with the song choice, and overall, I'm just bored with Paris herself. She's been a one-trick pony this whole time, and while it's great that a 17 year old can sing classic songs with some degree of soul, I find myself uninterested in her. Randy thinks she really blew it out the box tonight. Paula and Randy seem to forget how much they told Lisa to stop singing old folks' songs, and they spread praise all over Paris with a shovel. Pimpage galore. Simon also forgets how much he almost always criticizes people for not getting out of the comfort zone and for singing safe songs, and he says that Paris is doing what she does well. Pimply pimpage. No votes for Paris tonight.

Ryan gets a seven year old to teach him how to use a cell phone. She is way under-impressed by Mr. Seacrest. The seven year old manages to pimp Ace.

Chris Daughtry is going to sing "I Walk the Line." Barry Manilow doesn't really know Johnny Cash music apparently. This is quite disingenuous of Chris, since this will almost certainly capitalize on the popularity of the recent Joaquin Phoenix movie. Unfortunately, Chris is going to turn it into a Toad the Wet Sprocket song. This may be Chris's first mis-step. The opening notes are a bit low for his voice and he falters quite a bit. Once he kicks it up into the next octave, he's fairly steady. This is not all that bad, but again, it's Chris doing the same song he's done every other week. Picking a performance by Chris is sort of like deciding which Creed CD you want to listen to; it really doesn't matter what you decide on because you know no matter which song you select, it's going to be all pretty much the same. I want to see some diversity. Some of the latter parts of the song fall a bit sour. What can I say? It's not my favorite performance of his, and I didn't like the version of this song, but it's quite obvious he's going to sail through the competition like a child running through a McDonald's playground. Randy says some sort of blather that I ignored, because his comments are becoming more cut and pastable than Paula lately. Paula again states that he should already have, at minimum, the Nobel Prize. Simon compliments him on taking the song and "making it his own." Simon thinks it's great that he refuses to compromise. I can vote for Chris on this occasion, but I want to see more next week.

Somebody give Katharine McPhee's stylist a raise. She looks crazy hot tonight. Katharine gets a pre-pimp chat session with Ryan Seacrest. Maybe the VTR machine was stuck and they needed to kill time. Who knows? Anyway, time for the production piece. Katharine gushes over Barry the same way she gushed over Stevie. I would rather swallow a box of tacks than have Barry for a vocal coach, personally. Wow, we're spending a ton of time on Katharine tonight. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. This song is hitting me in all the right places. It's a bit slow, a bit soft, but her voice is just right for it. I can't really find anything to complain about with the possible exception of one slightly sour high note, but otherwise this was a pitch perfect performance, and my phone will likely come down with some McPheever tonight. Loved it. Randy says it wasn't his favorite vocal performance but that it was strong and that it was a tough song to sing. Mad props from the Randy. Paula encourages Randy to criticize her for some reason that I'm sure doesn't involve tranquilizers. Paula states that she thinks Katharine will win the competition after having criticized Simon for making similar predictions earlier in the show. Simon says Katharine has become a star tonight. It's good to know that Katharine has just one or two strips of double-stick tape between her and a serious wardrobe malfunction.

Ryan is in the audience annoying people.

[Tara]

Taylor Hicks felt the need to impress Barry by walking up to Barry while butchering "Mandy." Barry calls Taylor a "whiskey tenor," by which he probably means you need a fifth of Jack to like what Taylor's doing tonight. Barry pimps Taylor, calling him the best male vocalist this year. I like Taylor, and maybe I'm just hard to please, but I'm not hearing much diversity from him either. And all the pimp-walking while performing is just taking away from whatever vocal he might have. The band is overpowering him tonight. Taylor is all style over substance tonight, and this is the first time I've really actively disliked his performance. It's just sort of getting to be a bit old. On the other hand, I'd definitely like to hear more from the saxophone player. Taylor, love ya, love Birmingham and a certain girl from there who knows who she is, but tonight just didn't do it for me. Randy doesn't think that the song was challenging, since it was yet another four or five note range type of song. Paula extols how everyone danced to this song back in the day (and that day was a Wednesday, apparently, and Paula was turning 30 for the first time.) Simon is going to rip him a new one, and he isn't able to get his criticism out before the useless sycophantic audience tries to drown him out. Simon says it's a huge mess and that it was a stupid party performance. Paula shouts him down with some inane crap about how Simon can't dance. In case she forgot, Taylor doesn't know how to dance either. Paula says something insane about a medicalert bracelet. Ryan compares Taylor to George Clooney, Jay Leno and Phil Donahue, which isn't an insult, but really it is. I mean REALLY it is.

Lisa Tucker is up next and is looking as cute as always. Really, is there any chance for this girl unless Paris gets booted? We can hope, can't we? Barry says Lisa shouldn't know "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" because he isn't aware of recording mediums such as CDs and tapes, due to the fact that nobody ever buys any of his. How did the casting director for Lord of the Rings miss casting Barry as a hobbit, or perhaps as Gollum? Time for Lisa to sing, and unfortunately she's just turning in yet another performance. I mean, she's very talented, but it's like she phones it in every week. What Lisa MUST have is something to set herself apart, and tonight it's just not clicking. She missed a lyric there too, and somewhere in the void, the ghost of Melissa McGhee cringes. There's really nothing to complain about with the vocals, but there's really nothing to just jump up and down about either. I wouldn't NOT vote for her, but still... Randy thinks it was a good performance, but you can tell by his tone of voice that he is seriously about to de-pimp her. Paula likes that she brought back some youthful energy. Simon continues his beef with Paula over dancing. Paula is choking to death next to him so it's hard to hear his comments. He thinks that it was nothing better than a high school play performance. Ryan pleads with us to pick up our phones and vote for Lisa because even he knows she's likely to get the heave-ho this week.

Kevin Covais is up next, and I no longer feel bad about making fun of him. Barry thinks "When I Fall in Love" is perfect for Kevin's age, because in twenty years, when Kevin has developed from his current state as a sperm into what might pass for a full-grown adult, Kevin might actually attract a girl. Though I wouldn't bet on it. Kevin is really buying into his own hype as a sex symbol. Oh dear, he's sitting on the stage risers. This song is completely wrong coming from him. Kevin, dude, get your hand out of your pocket. There's way too many ways to make a joke about that. Do I need to say anything about his vocals? They haven't changed from their previous pattern of suck. Kevin sure does blink an awful lot. One day he is going to watch the tapes of this and be very embarrassed. What a horrific singer! Even Jasmine Trias can't make this performance enjoyable. Randy sees himself in Kevin, although five hundred pounds lighter and milky white. Paula thinks it took courage to sing the song, and she wants to adopt Kevin. Simon likes Kevin as a person, says it wasn't the best performance but that Kevin's target audience (the deaf population) will love that performance. Wow, some surprise pimpage there! For a more honest opinion given by Simon, listen to his recent Howard Stern interview. Still, no votes for me from Kevin. Ryan babbles something, and I'm thinking that if I were Kevin, and Ryan called me "Chicken Little" just one more time, I would haul off and belt him in the mouth hard.

Elliott Yamin has his shirt untucked. Why the tie? Elliott didn't like Barry Manilow going into the show, but he apparently changed his mind, which is something you sort of have to say to not hack anybody off. Barry is de-pimping Elliott as well. Wow, this 2 hour Idol crap has got to go. My butt is growing roots into the seat. Does the fact that I'm actually bored enough to type the previous sentence tell you anything about the excitement level of these long production pieces about the contestants and Barry? Elliott continues to be a one-trick pony as well, and call me crazy, but is ANYONE going to leave their comfort zone and try something wild tonight? Paula has two fingers up in the air, but that's only because she's demonstrating to Simon how high she has learned to count. Elliott's performance is fairly okay, but to be honest, I'm finding myself daydreaming and just sort of bored by it. The only thing that has really got me crunk is seeing my girl Lindsey Cardinale in the audience. I still sort of want her. Randy says Elliott worked it out. Paula has goose bumps and a glaze over her eyes. Simon and Paula have their witty banter again. Simon thinks his singing was fantastic. I can vote for Elliott tonight.

After the five millionth break, Icky Picky will be singing (surprise!) some country...

Note to Idol contestants: we know what you all LIKE to sing. Now it's time to show us you have range.

Ick Pickler is up next, and she had no idea that Patsy Cline was in the 50's, but that's only because she doesn't have any idea about anything. Kellie is still working on learning to spell her own name, and she's still can't believe that Kellie is not spelled "P-I-C-K." Barry is pimping the bejeebers out of Kellie tonight. Kellie is singing "Walking After Midnight," and she does this lame pimp strut onto the stage. Yet again we get to hear the interior of the Pickler sinuses invading our ears. She has quite a bit of trouble making it down the steps and making love to the camera at the same time. She's just sort of traipsing about, sticking her butt out in the air and inexplicably singing to Paula. I'm going to say something that I'll probably regret later, but the very last part of the song was actually not horrific. She then messes that up by shuffling around and breaking her mic pack. It's a wonderful thing that her mic is off. She still thinks Simon was calling her a mink coat. She's amused that someone has drawn a pickle, probably because she's never seen a pickle before. Randy likes her, Paula likes her, and Simon calls her ballsy. Kellie says "I don't know" for what must be the millionth time in her life when Ryan asks her what's up. Then she makes some moronic comment about her eyelashes before being completely mystified for a second time by the pickle poster in the audience. Once again, no votes from me, based simply on the annoyance factor. 1 866 IDOLS 10

Is it over yet?

Sammie the seven year old does a better job hosting the show than Ryan. Seriously. Hire her, please.

Ace Young wants to do a jazz rendition of "In the Still of the Night," which Barry thinks is a bad idea. Early bold prediction: look for Ace in the bottom three again tomorrow. Thankfully, this is the last we have to see of Music Teacher Barry for the night, though I'm sure we'll be cursed with a performance tomorrow night.

I'm serious, guys. Hire Sammie.

Ace didn't need to do this. This isn't really a jazz rendition of the song as much as it is a 98 Degrees or Backstreet Boys version of it. Ace's voice isn't even right for this song, and it lacks soul. Ace flubs the lyrics, and Melissa's warming a place up for him. That falsetto at the end was wretched and his voice almost cracked a million times during it. Ace's brother is rockin' that unibrow thing. Paula completely has caught the vapors. Randy says that Ace is back. Paula actually counted the number of signs containing marriage proposals for Ace, but that's only because she made most of them. Simon says it's not the best vocal and gets to say little else because of the stupid audience. Simon thinks he won't be in the bottom three this week. I won't be voting for him. 1 866 IDOLS 11

Well, that's it for another torturously long episode of American Idol. Be back tomorrow at 9/8c for the results.

MY PREDICTIONS:

Lisa is going home. Kevin should be, but I'm pretty sure he'll get carried for another week or so.

[Libra]

OK., This one is for you, Foxx, and also for you, Tara.  Pickles is a dumb Fu**.  NO DENYING IT. However, that girl prolly has lived her entire life life in hell.  Sorta kinda like I did.  Now, I'm not saying that gives her any right whatsoever to the title of the winner of AI.  She has to work for it, just like you and I and everyone else works for what they get. Actually, she's prolly not the best role model for a blond haired, blue eyed chick such as myself.. as a matter of fact, I suggest someone of that "coloring" STOP doing the hair twirling, "Hi I'm real cute" bit, and get an education.  We, as American women, are and always have been, looked down upon as morons.  Idiots that cater to our "men" and cow tow to whatever the men in our lives think.  And you may think I'm wrong on this, but no..... You're wrong.  We, as American women, are ruled by the majority of men in congress and the senate that legislate what we can and cannot do.  I am NOT saying that any man on this forum is biased, or looks down on us.. Hell, I think us women on this forum scare the hell out of the men on this forum.  I'm just saying that we, as women, have a powerful voice.. Get involved.  And listen to Pink, and for crying out loud, get yourselves, and your daughters, educated.

Kelly

[Tara]

 And listen to Pink,

Lmao you talkin about Pink ...singing Stupid Girls?  :)) :))  Cuz if you are shes so right

Tomorrow can we play a Idol drinking game?   1 shot for every word Pickapeckofpickels kills with her fake country innocence?

I don't know why she gets on my nerves so bad but she does...Actually I liked her the 1st time I saw her in auditions...but they get that "diva"attitude ...shes need to be in the bottom 3 and get a reality check...just my opinion of course

[Tara]

I had said in a earlier post...the kids had a rough life...and usually good things happen to those type of people...they get that break ...She needs to be herself...I think shes putting on a act and way to much of one

[triniqueen27]

  wow! it was hard getting thru to vote for mandisa tonight. so i switched ova to Paris and i was amazed at how easy i was able to get thru :-\ looks like paris might be in the bottom three tomorrow >:( i hope not

[RC]

OK, first of all, I'll be glad when this gets down to just a handful of contestants left, cuz there is way too much to go through on here to catch up with what everyone's saying lol.. in part to the live chat session during the show.. I had another like 11-12 pages to sift through lol.

Anyway.. as for Tara's posting of the play-by-play of whoever wrote that.. some things were on, some were off, some were just wrong. I'll assume it was a guy going by what was said about some of the female performers. He did say, "Barry says that Mandisa has no range, but I don't think he meant it as an insult, even though it clearly is." Even though Barry said that, apparently this guy didn't hear what he said right after that.. he said she had no range cuz she could sing it all, meaning every range, not just a range between "here" and "here" because for her, that would be everything. He continues with, "Paula and Randy seem to forget how much they told Lisa to stop singing old folks' songs, and they spread praise all over Paris with a shovel." Apparently he forgot what tonight's theme was.. did he expect Paris or anyone for that matter, to do something that wasn't an old folk's song? It was all 50's music. As for this: "Kevin, dude, get your hand out of your pocket." I can't state how much that creeped me out. His hand wasn't just there for a little while, he didn't put it there, take it out and do some other gestures with it, put it back later.. it was in his pocket the entire freakin time! And singing "When I Fall In Love" and doing that.. I just don't wanna know what he was thinking! As for this person's predictions: "Lisa is going home. Kevin should be, but I'm pretty sure he'll get carried for another week or so." I sure hope he's wrong.. America, please stop voting for this kid, he does not belong here, any of the other people deserve to be here longer than he does. And I think Lisa is way way way more talented, not even in the same universe talented, than chicken boy, and there shouldn't be any logical way for her to go before he does.. it would be a crime.

For my own thoughts, I don't think Bucky did too well, Taylor had an off night for a change, Elliott wasn't too impressive, but not real bad.. Mandisa- great, Chris- very good, Kat- excellent, and can't believe the ones who think she will be bottom 3. Paris, Lisa, Kellie, and Ace were all pretty good, not great, but good. If the voting was legitimately all about the singing, and not just popularity or "reverse-popularity", than I would think the bottom 3 would be Kevin, Bucky, and only by process of elimination, I would say the third one to be either Paris or Elliott.. not that either totally deserve to be there, but somebody's gotta be.

A note about Kellie and the acting dumb thing.. I do think she may be going overboard a bit as well, especially after last night.. but it's what these people do when they do something on the show and it gets a lot of attention thrown their way, they tend to want to do the same kinds of things week in and week out in order to keep the audience's attention and to be liked, and hence stay around longer. Just like Gedeon was with that dang grinning of his, once it was talked about, he couldn't stop doing it, even when there was nothing to smile about, it was like it was pasted on his face. I guess unfortunately for him, it wasn't enough to keep him around. But hopefully, if Ryan and others stop making Kellie talk about stupid things, granted she brings a lot of it up, but then they keep bringing up the same stuff..  then maybe she will actually stop sounding as stupid as some think. She actually does have a good voice and can sing, and must have some smarts to be able to take the advice from these coaches and stars and incorporate them into her singing and not come off as sounding like she just picked up a mic for the first time. I know most people won't agree with that, but oh well lol.

[Tara]

This is funny the  "Pickles" syndrome is sweeping across the message boards ... :))

Look at this...I died laughing when I saw them call her Pickles...Was it one of you guys?  :)) :))

This is from that votetheworst site...I am reading a thread saying if Kevin gets the boot who are they gonna vote for next.

Re: If Kevin gets the boot ??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope he doesn't go next.
But if he does I think America really needs an Idol named Bucky!

Pickles is getting stronger, and even though I dislike her, she did her best performance tonight. She's doing better than Lisa by a mile. Pickles controlled the stage tonight and I didn't hear any flat notes.

But little Lisa is anemic and very jittery, and looks like she needs a boost of help from us. She's not getting worse, just consistantly the same: boring, helpless, super fragile performances.

[foxx]

OK., This one is for you, Foxx, and also for you, Tara.  Pickles is a dumb Fu**.  NO DENYING IT. However, that girl prolly has lived her entire life life in hell.  Sorta kinda like I did.  Now, I'm not saying that gives her any right whatsoever to the title of the winner of AI.  She has to work for it, just like you and I and everyone else works for what they get.

Kelly

...and that, miss Kelly, is exactly why I effing hate Kellie Pickler.  90% of her stupidity is an act...and she perpetuates every stereotype in the book.  I, and many women before and after me, have and will work way too hard to come out from under the oppression of a male-dominated society.  She makes me sick.  Aside from that, she butchered a frickin Patsy song...there is something sacred about Ms. Cline, and I think she rolled over in her grave after that massacre.  Patsy Cline is actually a really good example of what Pickles could be.  She was a woman, raised with nothing, who brought style, class and grace to the music world.  Pickles bebops around in her stupid yellow shirt and sounds like she's trying to throw, of all things, a french accent into that song.  I hope you all recorded it so you can go back and listen for the french.  It was awful. 

As for the rest of them...Mandisa was fantastic.  Girl had style, looked like a million bucks, and has such a marvelous voice.
Elliott just is awesome...they have really started to try and cute him up...the goatee is a very good touch.
Chris...love love love.  I agree with the judges.  He just won't compromise and I am sure he made the man in black very proud last night. 
Taylor...not the best.  That suit made him look even older.  He is a showman though...
Paris...literally made me cry.  It reminded me so much of Fantasia singing that really bluesy song that was her "coming out party" on AI3...Paris looked good, sounded even better...and it was just so cool...it helps that she's mostly the nicest little thing in the world too..
Kat...Like RC, I am really surprised that some of you have her in your bottom 3.  I think she's gonna win it all...She's gorgeous, curvy and has one hell of a voice. 
Ace...hot as usual (I think he could wear a party dress and still look manly and hot), and I thought he did such a great job with the song.  Its funny....I told Mr. Foxx, early on in the show, that I hoped Ace would sing "In the Still of the Night" because it would suit his voice well...I'll be waiting for your phone call, AI Producers...
Kevin, Bucky and Lisa...buh-bye.  I could really care less at this point.  Kevin...gross.  Bucky...is not AI quality, I like him, but he is not a good singer.  Lisa...snore...Oh, sorry, did I fall asleep?

Hmmm...just thought about this...another reason for disliking Pickles...she not only makes women look bad, she makes southerners look bad...

"OOOh, there's a Pickle out there...hee-haw-hee-haw..."

[foxx]

Oh...and Hippo...EW.   :P
