I was trying to keep my assessments as short as possible LOL Yes, Tim didn't sound extraordinary but sounded so much better than the train wreck last week. i see potential though. I think Tim has more girl votes than Aaron. I could be wrong though.
Yeah, Aaron sang "My Girl" I felt like i had changed it to the Disney channel. I mean, its fine considering he is only 16. Although, he's no where near the talent that was archuleta and allison (both 16 while on show)
this has gotta be the most talentless cast i've ever seen. nobody blows me away, and most of them are just awful and i dont understand how they made it this far. i think alex lambert is the only standout so far. these girls are awful.
Yup. I mentioned earlier I gave up on the show when they cut Jermaine Purifoy and I see no reason to keep watching it. The current cast of "singers" has to be the worst they've ever had. Nothing special so far about them. Plus having Ellen as a judge just adds to the wackness of it for me. What are her qualifications for judging the show again? The demise of Idol I have to assume.
eh, the quality (or lack thereof) of the contestants won't effect the ratings juggernaut that the show is. agreed about ellen. she's an embarrassment, and predictably so. everything she says seems so calculated and forced, and is always a derivative of something she's heard the others say in the past. love how she interjected her music "knowledge" tonight by naming 2 other bill withers songs that she knew. lol.
I had chalked it up to nerves, but you can't really say that anymore. It's a bad showing. Though some of these people showed some serious talent in Hollywood Week, and they could still come back (Andrew Garcia being the big one there) Ellen.. honestly I think she might bring more significant contributions than Paul Abdul ever did. While that's not saying much, that is the person she replaced...so I can't say it's any worse with Ellen.
I like Ellen being in the show. I think once they get to the big stage she will be a lot funnier, she plays to an audience very well. DD
as for tonight.. Crystal and Lilly were by far the best. Hailey was by far the worst (though I have never liked her). One more has to go.. I figure it will be among Lacy/Katelyn/Michelle (I think Lacy is most likely to go) Only thought the judges were especially wrong about Didi...didn't think she was as bad as they made it out to be. I think she had some good and bad parts like many of the others.
I agree, I really didn't think it was so bad (Didi) I really am pulling for her. I love her voice, and think she can really have great music if given the chance! Plus she is beautiful
I didn't get to see Lilly perform so I leave her out. Crystal is the best to me, though I think as an artist she might struggle to ever be a superstar. She seems like a feminist musician which has a niche audience. I like her though. Shabon(sp?) is my favorite. I love her voice, I love her look and I love her personality. She can be a star. I don't get what was wrong with Didi's performance. I don't think the song was a good song for her to sing (Really, why do they pick old songs that don't do anything to highlight their abilities to be modern singers?) but she still performed it really well. I like Lacy a lot personally. The rest of the girls were bad that I heard. Haley is awful awful awful imo. I can hear her lisp when she sings and she sounds really young. Doesn't belong in the group. That Katie girl is in a bad spot. Her voice is way too mature for her to sing kiddie music yet she's too young to sing mature music.
i couldnt watch idol last night because I was at the game, but I'll watch it when I get out of work just before the elimination show airs. I'll go ahead and give my predictions though. Going home: Lacy, Michelle Delamore, Aaron Kelly and possibly Todrick or John Park. Crystal all the way. She'll be the new Alanis Still hanging on to hope for Andrew.
I think Hailey is out for sure. So predictions are Hailey, Lacy, Tim, Todrick Lacy only b/c I think her song and look won't get as many votes out of the few that I said were close to the same in performance.
Coming into the top 24 my favorite contestants were didi benami, Janell wheeler, Ashley rodriguez and Andrew Garcia. Two of them are gone and now didi and Andrew appear to be in danger. None of the judges liked either of their performances. I voted a bunch of times for didi and Andrew, though, and hopefully they survive this week.
at least Hailey is gone. Jermaine and Michelle were possibilities--both 1 or 2 from who i thought were the bottom, so that's easy. Didn't like John Park, but he is so much better than Tim Urban. That dude keeps sliding through..crazy
Yes Crystal did her thing, but I thought Lacey Brown did her thing. She sounded like a young Iris Dement. If you know who i am talkin' bout. That song story was an amazing sound to begin with, but lacy's twang made it unreal.
for me.. best: Crystal, Didi a bunch in the middle (some better, some worse) worst: Paige 2nd worst: either Katelyn or Katie.. Katie probably needs to go, cause she hasn't really shown anything in the live shows.
Tonight...Siobhan (sp?), crystal were the best. Top girls for sure are Didi, Crystal, Lilly and Siobhan. All 4 of them have enough originality to out do the other. Katie started as a front funner but has yet to prove herself worthy of a top 12 spot. Going home. For sure is Paige and I'm torn between Lacey and Katie.
