    Oh and I do think Danny Gokey is quite overrated. He bores me.

    And anyone else think Anoop looks like that lead guy from Scrubs? Zach I think? hahahaha

    She's unique unlike the rest of those finalists. It's like I've heard all their voices before. And Megan has that star look that you can't take your eyes off of. Her voice isn't that horrid. It's nice to listen to. Sorry if she can't sing like an Opera singer or sing like Mariah Carey...

    And wow... at Adam. Wow

    She would be okay if she didn't have her whole arm tatted up. Once you do that, it's like, all attempts to look classy/sweet/innocent in a nice dress go out the window....

    And what's with the BRIGHT red lipstick?


    In other news, I don't think her voice is anything special.


    Anyone know what the theme is this week?

    Ok just to verify Im following you. Because you THINK he is gay, and your gaydar is going haywire, you wish him not to fullfill his dreams. Ok Got it.

    As for Megan. Absolutely horrible. Just about as terrible as it got on the first night. From the Hooker lip stick, to the I dance like a bunch of twigs randomly flinching around in the wind, to the worst song I have ever heard selected on this shows top 12.

    Let me get this straight. You have Michael Jacksons portfolio to work with. Over 4 decades worth of music ranging from pop, to dance, to darker, to inspirational, to love songs, and even some suedo disco, and she picks Rocking Robin? Are you serious? There was a reason she picked that song, and its because she SUUUUUUCKS! and knew she couldn't sing anything for a lick.

    Dude, she made freaking bird noises at the end of her (terrible) performance. What, was the "Chicken Dance" not classy enough for her?

    That may have been the only thing that could have saved her in my eyes. If anyone breaks out the Chicken Dance from Arrested Development, I might actually vote, and vote many times..hahaha

    Who, then, is your pick? Adam???

    None of the top 10 remind me of Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, Daughtry, or even Archuletta's greatness...

    Im so glad that you asked me for my expertise.


    Lets see. Yeah, I think Danny Gokey has the talent, the look, but almost no stage presence. He needs to work on that alot in order to win.

    Adam has all the stage presence, but somewhere in there, I find him to be too lavish. Like he is trying way too hard.

    I think Alexis is a darkhorse. She had great stage presence both times out, and showed a deep expressive side to her singing. She has the look, and ability. Her first weeks performance I thought was off the chart, and I think she was completely unfairly critisized her second week.

    If I had to go on talent alone. Id say, Allison, Alexis, Danny, or Adam. If I factor in the fact that its a popularity contest, Id say you could lump Lil Rounds into the mix too.

    But I think it will come down to Danny, Adam, Rounds.

    This is fantastic by Anoop:
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A1-SIzlBF9Y&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A1-SIzlBF9Y&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    He should perform that song.

    'American Idol' chatter four-sees finalists

    Tuesday, March 17th 2009, 7:13 AM

    Aside from Paula Abdul, the producers of “American Idol” have one more loudmouth to deal with on the set.

    One of the hit show’s staffers is running around telling anyone who’ll listen that the team of producers and judges has already picked the final four contestants — despite the fact that 11 kids are still battling to be the latest pop star.

    The female “AI” worker told a “group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,” said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, “Those ARE the people,” saying it wasn’t mere speculation.

    If it was just her prediction, she’d be spot-on with this week’s TV Guide, which also chose those exact four wanna-be crooners as its picks for stardom.

    But the lass took it a step further, claiming that higher-ups at the hit Fox show were taking an issue with two of the top contenders.

    “Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds are better singers and musicians than Gokey and Grace, but they’re too much like past winners and ‘A’ successes,” the woman said. “Adam’s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry, while Lil Rounds is a dead ringer for Fantasia. Even their background stories are similar!

    “The producers really want it to be Danny or Alexis. They think they’re very commercially viable, have a good image and a great story.”

    Gokey’s sorrowful story of the death of his wife, Sophia, during heart surgery a month before his audition is “a huge reason viewers are tuning in,” said the staffer. “Fox likes the attention that he’s getting, and they’ve taken to giving Danny much more airtime as a result.”

    While Fox’s reps had no comment on the allegations, another TV insider told us, “It’d be very hard to manipulate the entire final four. Sure, the judges get one vote to save someone, but that’s before the top five, so theoretically, it’s just delaying the inevitable.

    “There’d have to be so many people lying for them to pull something like this off — so I doubt it’s true.”

    You should have added a question mark at the end of your comment..

    I thought the judges could only save someone once but could save multiple people...but instead is it that the judges themselves only get one chance to save someone? Gotta be the former.

    In any case, the show just needs to follow what So You Think You Can Dance does and give the judges the final decision in who goes home. That makes the most sense. Let the audience vote the bottom three, and to prevent a Sanjaya or Daughtry from happening, judges decide who is eliminated.

    But really who cares if it's fixed or not. It's a reality show after all. And it's really no secret that the producers are head over heels for those four. Hell I didn't even know that Chris guy even existed until last week, and he turned out to be one of my favorites of the night, with his Jason Mraz/John Mayor -ish style.

    1 person making pretty big accusations with no proof.. and picks 4 who could EASILY be the final 4 based on skill? Means nothing imo..

    Those quotes about Adam somehow being similar to Daughtry and Rounds being exactly the same as Fantasia are pretty crazy. I don't see the former, and the latter, very little if any. But no way exactly the same.. article/interview is poor

    They can only save 1 person...and can only do it 1 time (if they want)..and it has to be before the final (forgot how many..4? 5?)

    And to be fair, Kris has been pretty good consistently...maybe boring and not memorable though
