American Idol - Season 7 - Page 3

Re: American Idol - Season 7

The contestant that inpersonated Brittney and the other singer (name escapes me) was actually the best I heard so far. I have to admit the guy at the end didn't really sound so bad, I thought they went over the top with that guy. He didn't deserve that treatment from everybody, I really felt bad for the guy, I thought he actually looked embarassed when they were dancing around him.

Am I missing something or is embedding linked pictures disabled? Maybe I just need more sleep.

What did he expect wearing all that stuff? Plus, he was 44, so he had to have known that he wasn't going to actually get in.

Didn't know he was 44 years old with no chance of making it, hence I'll retract my comment and state he was obviously looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Sometimes I don't know what's worst, those psycho contestants who seriously think they have a chance or those psycho contestants who do it just for the chance of being seen on t.v.

Yeah but... that song was pretty catchy. In a bad way. I still remember how it goes.

For me, I don't like the ones who are being goofy on purpose. It's just not funny when someone is trying to be ridiculous. But it absolutely cracks me up when contestants are horrible/goofy and they truly think they are good/normal.

Sometimes I refuse to believe that those people are telling the truth lol, how on Earth could they possibly think they are good singers?

It's especially sad when they say things like "my mom and friends think i'm a really good singer and that I should try out." and then they open their mouth and it's like what the hell were his/her mother and friends thinking by telling him/her that!?

They aren't helping them by telling them something like that, in fact I would classify them as enablers lol.

Must agree. One really 'shocking' thing I recall was one contestant who got a 'yes' from Simon, a 'no' from Paula of all people, who usually has the 'lowest standards', so to speak, and a 'yes' from Randy to make it through to the next round!

I cannot remember an instance before this of someone getting by on two votes from Simon and Randy, with Paula voting no. Usually in 2-1 decisions, Paula is always a 'yes', with usually Randy agreeing and Simon the curmudgeon saying 'no', and on rare occasions it's Randy that says no instead.

Typically Simon is the pickiest, and as you can see from contestant reactions they always value a 'yes' from Simon, or in one case even though he didn't make it, in the guy's 'exit interview' he seemed genuinely pleased that at least Simon didn't rag on him.

Re: American Idol - Season 7

Did anyone else catch that pretty funny/embarrassing freudian slip by that first guy last night? After being given the boot and he was talking to the camera outside he said (it's explicit so I put it in spoilers) Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
"Simon didn't go down on me that hard, I know he usually goes down hard on people."


I would have worded that differently if I were him.

Re: American Idol - Season 7

This isn't meant to be funny believe me, it's just a comparison, the only comparison I can think of really, but the guy sounds like a stroke victim when he sings.

He has a pleasant, normal speaking voice. If he wasn't trying to be Blind Willie Johnson, maybe he could sound okay. Or, maybe not.

Re: American Idol - Season 7

FYI: David Archuleta won Star Search at the age of 12 in the young star (whatever it was called) category. It was a bit interesting to see them focus more on his partial vocal cord paralysis than his past accomplishments (plus it felt a bit disingenuous when he was making a big deal about going to Hollywood when he's been there for a nice stretch just 4 years ago).

Liked the girl who got 4 yes's.

Irish tattoo girl's got too many gears in her vocal repertoire, and she tries to use them all when she doesn't need to do so.

Re: American Idol - Season 7

I've been an AI fanatic since season 2. But I may just skip the auditions and wait til the Hollywood eliminations start. I REALLY struggled to get through last week's shows (which I taped and fast-forwarded through). WAY too many "background stories" for people that didn't deserve it and the "bad" auditions seem to get more "outrageous" (and not in a good way) each season.

I love Idol, but I think this show may have run its course. It looks like this is a bad trend they are going after.

Re: American Idol - Season 7

I agree with Eric,I record AI and fast forward through the filler and listen to the singers they pass through. I know one thing,I'm tired of hearing the same kind of singers season after season here.Not to say they don't have good voices,they just don't sound unique,I keep wanting to compare them to Carrie Underwood,or Aretha,Gladys Knight,or Blake Lewis,Ruben Studdard,Fantasia,etc...

Re: American Idol - Season 7

I loved the girl who thought she sang like Mariah Carey...The only thing she had in common with Mariah was her chest. But, you gotta love how she realized she was in the reject category she just had made fun of.

On a side note. I think the age requirement is ridiculous. If someone is a good singer then give them a shot. And thats not just because I am 39.

I saw that one guy on some talk show, the guy from the first night who sang 'Let My People Go' and I just had to ask myself why. Giving attention these people will only encourage others to go national television and make fools of themselves.

I agreed with Simon. That one girl was REALLY Annoying. I am so out of touch, when did valley girl talk come back?

I think her "speach" about abstinence rates up there with the Miss Teen South Carolina reponse to the map question a few months ago.

Depending on whether you like watching that kind of thing nothing, but speaking for myself I get embarassed watching most of these people who obviously can't sing and only go on tv to do "stupid people tricks" in front of Simon, Randy and Paula.
