He was a hoot on SNL last night!

Damn, I'da loved to see him on SNL!

I couldn't agree more about the rudeness of Randy, Paula and even Ryan (blech, him I could live without) when Simon's talking. I've never seen Simon interrupt them, and they always say the same things... it was aiight, dawg, you've got to take it and make it your own, be true to yourself.... yadda yadda. Simon might lack a tad bit of finesse, but he knows his shit. It wouldn't be AI without him.

I wish I'd been able to see SNL last night, but LORD it was a LOOOONG ass night, and not in any way shape or form GOOD. (See my divorce thread later)

That show is actually pretty cool.
It demonstrates that the American Public votes on all sorts of strange criteria. For instance
Camile? Really?, how the hell did she make it so far? Thank God she was finally booted. I couldn't stand to watch her sing with the sound on! I mean the sound of frogs mating is more melodic.
I was sorry to see Amy go so soon, that girl has some chops.
John Stevens is a cute kid but he lacks the confidence to really make a song his own and arrange it better to suit his style.
JPL…chicks dig him. Go figure.
LaToya….great singer but has a personality deficit She deserves a contract just for being so classy. Maybe too classy to be pop.
Jenifer…Big girl bigger voice have you seen stranger facial expressions in you life…I bet she could scare most small children.
Fantasia. She has it going on!... but what an abrasive personality.
George…My pick to go all the way. People just love the positive attitude
Diane she is really good, her illness last week really put a kink in her performance. I hope we see some better performances or she is gone in a week.
Jasmine….My favorite. Not the most powerful singer but she makes the song hers and some how I really feel emotion coming from her. I like the flower thing too am I alone here?
I don't vote as I tend to Tivo the 2 shows and watch them back to back.
As for Simon...
Simon is simply acting the foil, if everyone said some thing good and sweet and supportive that would not be good TV. Every hero has to have a villian. The way the contestant support each other the villian wasn't going to come from inside their ranks so they have Skmon. Paula's dimples are getting bigger every day I think that is where most of the weight Randy Jackson must be going.Dog...gone it. pat my chest pointing fingers in weird directions....I guess he is like a black Joe Cocker with all those hand gestures.....

It's been a while since I've been here...lol..I can see I have missed a bunch. :)

OK, so going back to william hung...it's kinda like a carwreck on the side of the road..you know it's awful and you shouldn't look but you do anyway. So I typed his name in online under like a general search engine and there was an option to listen to his CD....ummmmmm....well....I just don't think I have any words for it. He covers songs like "she bangs" obviously...."I believe I can fly" and well I just can't remember, but thank god!

As far as tonight being cancelled...boo...but I hear they are playing two episodes tomorrow night. Who knows what they will be. Any guesses on what the next theme will be?

Two tomorrow? I thought there was only 1 tomorrow, with OC following, then the loser is announced thursday. Dunno for sure though. Only found it was booted when I turned it on to watch tonight.

The Idolonfox website announced that the competition will be held on Wednesday and the result show will be on Thursday. The local FOX affiliate showed commercials stating the same thing.

That's so strange because I have digital cable and I scrolled all the way to tomorrow night and there are two listings and one is from 8pm to 9pm and it says 8 compete...then there is one from 9 to 9:30 and it says one is voted off.
See I would think that the way FluteLady and Gilly said would be the right way to do it for the voting's sake so maybe my digital line up thingy is wrong. I kinda hope so.. :(
I wonder how many complaints they will get for cancelling it tonight? Did I already say that? lol

OK I am changing what I said...lol....Mr Starfish just came downstairs and I explained everything I have been told and so forth and we checked the digi cable listing and the whole thing says American Idol for all of wed. night after 9, however when you click on it to see the discription it says O.C.....our theory..they are in the middle of changing it as I type this...lol.
I love all the Pixies and am sorry if I caused any confusion...lol..I know I was confused. :p

I would expect FOX's website would have more correct information than the cable system. The cable system most likely didn't find out in time from FOX what the new game plan would be in time to update their listings.

Ok, who's everyone's vote for being voted off next? Yes, yes, even before they sing. ;) See, I think that everyone left has a fantastic voice, and needs only to have a bad performance to get the boot. So, who do we think will biff it up tonight?

I'm waiting for them to give John Stevens a song style he can't sing. I like that he's unique, but I can't envision him trying to sing pop wiith his sauve smooth voice. Or rock, for that matter.

I hope that Diana gets voted off next... I really don't like her.

Oh GOD PLEASE let it be Fantasia!!!!!!


Can't stand her attitude!!!!

I don't much care for Diana or Fantasia, but they've both got good voices... well, better than John Stevens or JPL. Cute and fun, both of them (meaning the guys), but not much in the voice department. Either of them should have gone before Amy, no doubt about it. Talentwise, I think they should go next. Pain in the buttwise, Fantasia's gotta go.

I think that most of them did very well tonight, I especially like Jennifer's and John Stevens'. I thought that Diana did horribly, she butchered that song. I liked most of Quentin Tarantino's comments, he was a good guest judge. I thought that the theme was very broad tonight but it let the contestants pick what they wanted, which is nice. It was a good show overall. I thought that Fantasia did well, but I really don't like her, so my opinion on her is biased, but I didn't think it was the best Idol performance ever.

I missed it :( Hubby came home with a baby sitter, we went and bought my cpu, then went to see a movie, and then dinner. Just got home.

What was tonight's genre?

The genre was favorite movie songs... which is interesting I think, but very open.

It allows for all of them to pick from pretty much whatever genre they are good at. Outta curiosity, what did John Stevens and Diana sing?

I don't know what they sang but my pick is Fantasia but she will never replace my precious from last season Clay

Hurry up, Gilly... it'll be on here in about 40 minutes. I'll save you a spot on the couch.

John Stevens sang As Time Goes By from Casablanca, and Diana sang My Heart Will Go On from Titanic.

-grins- Flutelady, it doesn't show live there? I guess I figured that because it says live, it was showing at the same time everywhere. Huh, I learn something new every day ;)

Thanks Ready4Ty. :) I figured John would go for old. He has an amazing voice, but I think he's also very genre specific. That voice is just too smooth and sauve to fit most things.

Nope Gilly, it comes on at 8pm PST, 3 hrs later than on the east coast! Last year I accidently found out who won, long before it showed here. Talk about a bummer.... (especially since it wasn't Clay)

I am not a Fantasia fan, simply because of her attitude. But, she earned points with me tonight. She sang and behaved beautifully... WOW!

let's see I would pick Diane, JPL and John Stevens for tonight's bottom three...Jasmine had a rough night, George was not great...well let's say with the exception of LaToya and Fantasia the night was pretty lack luster....Say what you will about Fantasia's personality she was exceptional last night...better than a good many professionals...If I had to pick on the basis of last nights performances she wins Hands Down...but that attitude....ugggg

She's a diva. Lord save us.

As much as I like them all, I would guess JPL, Jasmine and Diana to be in the lower three, with JPL being the one to leave. Dammit, I really like JPL, and I enjoyed his performance but I would have to say he just may be the one to go.
Fantasia sang well, but "best performance ever on American Idol"????? I don' t think so! I think you've got it right, Gilly................she's a Diva alright, in the worst sense of the word.
Just my NSHO (not so humble opinion):D

-giggles- She'll give some of our "current" diva's a run sometime.

I like JPL. He's just sooo "boy next door". Very likeable, very friendly, and what not. I'm not sure he's pop star material, but I definatly like him.

John Stevens sang the song from casa blanca "you must remember this a kiss is just a kiss" and diana sand "my heart will go on" from titanic...I thought latoya and fantasia and JPL were awsome last night...actually the only two who weren't great were diana and cutie girl with the flower..why can't I remember her name...shoot...lol

JPL sucks!!

I am not so happy with the outcome tonight... but I won't give it away... :(

I'm not happy with it either, but I sort of figured it would turn out this way. I hate it sometimes when I'm right. :(

Yeah I definitely thought it would have turned out differently tonight but what can you do I guess.

It just ended here. I was sooo wanting to read this site earlier this evening, but was afraid that I'd find out who got the boot...

Even tho someone has to leave each week, I'm always sad to see them go. The look in their eyes always gives me a lump in my throat. The bottom 3 tonight was as it should be... and it's just a matter of who leaves when, they're all on their way home. Ever notice how much better they sing on result night?

who got booted? I was at "friends" night!

PM me if no one wants to give it away

Since it's been shown all across the contry by now, there's no harm in telling.




JPL got voted off tonight. I was really sorry to see him go. They all did really well last night, but I think he did the least good job.




Next week they'll be doing Barry Manilow music. John Stevens should do well.

J.P.L. Finally gone.....I consider it a miracle that JPL WAS EVEN STILL AROUND.Only reason I can see why is the chicks seen something in him - sorry, but he can't sing. I felt like he was singing in a kareoke bar every week. Great guy and a lot of fun, but needs major singing lessons...well now its time for John S to go...

If someone would hone that kids voice (JPL's), I can imagine he'd do well on a broadway stage. He has the projection and can hit the notes if he'd just learn how to breathe. And for crying out loud...make him stop that ridiculous dancing! LOL!

This is the time in the show when ya know someone has to go, but they are all so good in their own right that it's sad when they get the boot!

every time I hear John Stevens sing, I think: High school play. He'd do well on broadway, I think.

I'm sorry PL had to go, but they're down to the talen now, and each week will be hard to see someone go.

I agree, Gilly. They're down to the cream of the crop now. I hate to see any of them go, with one notable exception. But that has nothing to do with talent.

Are there any guesses who will be the next to go?? Not who you WANT to go, but who you THINK will go. :D

As much as I like Diana, she's been on the bottom for a bit now, so I don't know how well she'll do next week. Jennifer Hdson I am torn on. She has given some steller performances, and she has given some bottom of the barrel performances.

I don't know how much longer John has in him, because his voice is so type specific. Once they throw him a genre he can't do, I don't thik he'll make it.
