> It was nice to see Jennifer Hudson in the audience after all the negative comments Simon has made about her this season. What comments? I saw every episode & don't remember that. I guess I saw a different show than other people, since I thought this was much better than last year's...
> nice to see Chris Daughtry on stage tonight. Yeah, too bad we didn't get a full hour of him instead of what we actually saw. I thought it absolutely sucked to make both people sing the same crappy song back to back... that obviously taints the competition in favor of whoever is best...
> Maybe not but it's not hard to see that this show is leaning more and more towards looks rather than singing talent alone and i'm simply not down with that. Why can't you guys understand that it's the voting AUDIENCE who sent Melinda home, not the show? And voters have their own reasons for...
People vote for many different reasons, so it's silly to assume Melinda is gone because of stage presence issues. You might as well say it's because she's not pretty enough or some other imagined reason. Remember, votes are FOR people, not against them. I think Blake & Jordin attract more of the...
Gibb DOES look great, for a man of 80. Unfortunately he's only 60, younger than any of the Beatles, Mick Jagger, or many others whose father he could play. Blake haters: He's in the top 3. I'll be laughing about that all week.
> My wife and I love the song Robin Thicke Wow, somebody liked that? I thought it was worse than any performance this season by any contestant, yes, including Sanjaya. Or was it supposed to be a parody?
> God Blake sucked!!! What are you people watching???? He ruined a good sign. It only proves he cant sing anything but rap/beatbox type crap. We were watching American Idol. Apparently you're watching some other show, because Blake's performance was one of the most original and creative...
> Now, of course, they have to ask themselves all week long, "Which of us would have gone, and who of us is in the crisis zone?" They are probably always wondering how well they rank- the fact that nobody went home really has no effect on this. Am I the only one that thought Wed night's...
I didn't see the original post, but why the hostility? To quote William Shatner, it's just a TV show! If you can't handle seeing people you dislike, you shouldn't watch a show like AI, since odds are there will be at least one on there that you don't care for. I'm not a big fan of...
> I seriously doubt that Chris made his comment about the aweful events at VA Tech just to garner votes I don't think so, either, considering he lives in VA & is the same age as the typical college student. He has the most obvious connection to that school of any of the contestants, plus who...
> Why would you even be in this thread if you haven't watched the show yet? To have something to complain about. We finally learned that Haley does have clothes other than short shorts. Gotta love it when Simon calls her on her obvious pandering.
Interview with Chris Sligh after his departure- he considered quitting earlier: http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps...WS01/703300336 It also says he lost 30 lbs during the competition- did anyone notice? > The odd thing this season is that the shameless sponsor plugs, sorry music...
> I have to say I never really thought of Gwen Stefani as all that, but man, without the excessive makeup, glued on jewels, and the hair extensions that are her trademark, Gwen looked really pretty tonight. Yeah, I thought she looked much nicer on Idol than I've ever seen before & now I...
> Ken, what was the advice from Lulu that LaKisha ignored? Lakisha was torn between 2 songs. Lulu was heavily in favor of the one she ended up not singing. (I assume that's what the comment was about.) > I couldn't help but laugh when Sanjiya started singing and they showed that little...
Our local news doesn't cover Idol (except for the station that airs it & has a 10pm newscast- they do a story on elimination nights)- since it's not news.
> It's the major news outlets constantly focusing on this one poor kid They are? I haven't heard any mention of him in the news, except shows that cover Idol, and much of that has been about the Barbarella photos & the fact that the group of guys is weaker than the girls this year. I...
