    I think Lisa will be going home tonight even though it should be Bucky. Bucky is horrible and is the spawn of Chris Kaman.

    agreed on all counts except I thought McPhee looked good with the dress. And I'm usually not one of her big supporters on here (looks-wise).

    Pickler's interview after her song has convinced me that she's totally faking the dumb blonde persona. pay close attention to her forced hesitation to seacrest's question. just b/c of that, i hope she gets booted soon.

    A few years ago there was a celebration of Sun Records done by PBS where they had a documentary and also had contemporary bands remake old Sun songs. Live did a "start slow - go into rock" version of Walk The Line.

    I missed the show, but I'm going to go out on a (very short) limb and guess that our resident bald alterna-rockstar did.......let's see....an alternative rock version of Walk the Line? I'm also going to guess that Paula LOVED it and told him something to the effect of "you should be selling out stadiums" and/or "you really made that song your own."

    That guy lost all credibility when he did that kareoke version of the RHCP's cover of Higher Ground and tried to take credit for changing it around. It wouldn't surprise me if he did the same thing last night.

    He never took credit for Higher Ground and specifically said that the version he knew was the RHCP. The judges are the ones that said that he made it his own, etc. It's one song, chill out.

    Once again...Paula was TOTALLY looped throughout the whole show.

    How drunk was she? She had nothing to say and looked confused when speaking. This is the second or third time she has looked this way.

    What a waste of space on the show.

    They need to get Paula into rehab and off of the show. She is a train wreck to listen to.

    I think tonight it's either Bucky or Lisa. Kevin actually did decent this week I thought.

    yeah, that was it. Listen to Live's cover of the song and you will notice that they are pretty much the same.

    Would have been nice for Chris to mention that he was covering Live?

    So should everyone else that is singing someone elses song mention that they are covering that version?

    The whole freaking show is about doing covers so why is everyone up Chris' ass about doing a cover of a cover. I guess when he is done he should thank Live for doing a cover of the song that he just covered. It isn't like he is taking credit for it.

    I never remember hearing him say, "Friends, Fans, Listeners, lend me your ears! I have made that which is old into something new, something that is my own. **** RHCP and **** Live too. This is a new entity that is entirely of my own doing. Worship the ****!"

    Maybe this is why Kevin has been sticking around so long.



    "Idol" Haters Love Kevin

    Looks like the sky may not be falling on Chicken Little. At least, if one Website has any say in it.

    Votefortheworst.com is back to its usual antics, delighting American Idol haters and dismaying show producers by unleashing a campaign to back the contestant the site deems the worst of the wannabes.

    This season the online campaign has rallied behind 16-year-old Kevin Covais, nicknamed Chicken Little by host Ryan Seacrest for his passing resemblance to the bespectacled Disney character.

    The site, which started just prior to American Idol's third season and quickly got behind red-haired crooner John Stevens, claims its intention is not to be mean-spirited, rather to get voters to simply "embrace the suckiness" of the show by prolonging the stay of "less talented contestants" and people "like Kevin Covais, who have no chance of winning." Visit for more:


    So it's more of a public service, really.

    "For us, the fun of American Idol is that it's a cheesy show that is much more enjoyable when bad singers stick around," site creator Dave Della Terza explains in USA Today.


    According to the Website, Della Terza started the campaign simply to make the show more enjoyable. The competition, he writes, is fixed: Rocker Chris Daughtry "or any white male"--except, presumably, Covais--is whom he believes the producers are grooming for victory.

    The competition, Della Tarza says, is not about singing, but about making good reality TV. He says his site merely acknowledges that fact by "helping to keep around an entertaining protagonist."

    "If our pick is ousted from the competition, we'll move on to someone new," the site reads. "If we can help someone undeserving inch a spot closer to winning, that's a great success!"

    Which means Kellie Pickler better join Team Covais and quick.

    Last week Votefortheworst.com decided to back only Covais after previously encouraging voters to phone in on behalf of both contestants.

    "While Kellie Pickler is still an awful, tone deaf fake, it would be foolish to split our votes at this point," a post on the site read. "If for any reason Kevin is kicked out of the competition, we will then vote for Kellie (she's still terrible), so she's not off the VFTW radar."

    Unfortunately, the site may not be the only ones who think Covais is among the weakest of the pack. Last week, Simon Cowell called Covais' rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Part Time Lover" an "appalling" performance.

    Of course, being singled out on the site may not be wholly bad for the budding artist.

    Jasmine Trias, one of the site's chosen few for the show's third season, made it into the top four, while last year's main pick, Scott Savol, was among the competition's final five contestants--a feat for which the site, naturally, took credit.

    For its part, Fox is not issuing any new statements on the anti-Idol Website, instead deferring to the lengthy denouncement they released last spring.

    "While it is unfortunate that a small group of people are so caustic that they believe it would be humorous to attempt to negatively sway the voting on American Idol, the number of purported visits to the website would have no impact on voting," the network and show producers said last year. "Their hateful campaign will have no effect on the selection of the next American Idol."

    Covais is one of 11 finalists remaining in the competition. This week, the batch of hopefuls will try their hands at songs from the '50s, with Barry Manilow, who not so coincidentally just topped the charts with The Greatest Songs of the Fifties, set to perform on Wednesday's results show.

    I'm glad someone else noticed how Paula was acting. She's got to be on something, seriously. And I doubt it's just alchohol.

    Normally she does look pretty good despite her actions...last night she looked like a train wreck though.

    You're not lying....she's by far the most talented girl on there this year, with Paris running a distant second.

    Everytime McPhee looks in the camera, I do this:

    :eek:

    Then this:

    :D

    And finally, this:

    i like chris but man i was pretty sure that he didn't make up that version of walk the line....and what do you know? i check the greatest source of info i have in cc.net and i find out my suspicions are right. i got no problem with him doing the covers of other bands covers but he really should have made sure people knew that he got it from Live like he did with higher ground from RHCP.

    i think it irritates me even more when you have the dumb judges thinking that these covers are his own songs. that may be his downfall in this competition.


    and for paula that skankwad is on painkillers or some sort of pills. i can't see her coming back after this year. she really is looking worse and worse and she needs to get into rehab.

    "ManDiva" was disrespectful. What is she the black version of Transamerica?

    Elliott is my sentimental favorite. He can really sing but doesn't posses the personality to compete with the likes of Taylor, or the star quality of Chris.

    His is the only music that I would steal from Limewire.
