The 16 year old (uglier kelly clarkson) has my vote for best in this group. Overall this group seemed rather weak. I'm assuming Norman Gentle will go through because of this. 3rd? Honestly don't know. There were 2 females that I thought were 'ok'. Judges raved about one of them, but I thought it was 'meh'.
I liked the 16 yr old Allison and the last dude Adam who did Satisfaction.. no one else has mentioned it so maybe he was right in that some people will love, some will hate it. But I thought he was really good.. after that, it's a crapshoot (cause they all sucked...but some more than others). Kris with Man in the Mirror, Megan with Put Your Records On, Jesse with Betty Davis Eyes.. shoot even Nick Mitchell/Norman Gentle, or Mishavonna cause she's pretty at least everyone agrees that Jasmine Murray isn't very good (I think) too bad for pianoman Matt...he was good, but no way he gets through
I thought it was horrid. On a different note, there's something that's bugged me about the show for quite a while now. When they do their recap at the end of the show, they don't always use clips from the actual live performances. To me, that's not fair. For example, I didn't see the first 3 performers tonight, and I have to rely on these little recap clips to determine how they did. Well, if the recap clip isn't from the actual performance, that's misleading.
They do show their live performances...Well they always do. I didnt see the recap tonight tho, so they might of done it differently.
That's actually not true. They have been doing it for as long as I've watched the show (3 years now?). Sometimes it's very obvious. A few seasons ago they showed Ace's "recap" and he was holding his arms out to the side as he held the final note of his song. But in the live performance, he didn't do that. I think that might have been the first time I noticed it, but I've seen it time and time again since. The only mention of it I could find online was a blog comment, but it's something... http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/05/american-idol.html
My favs were Norman Gentle and Allison, behind them is Jesse Langseth (“Bette Davis Eyes”).. I'm still annoyed that Adam Lambert is getting so much love, the dude is in my opinion a total hack.. Every time he sings I cant help but think he should be at a tranny bar singing Broadway tunes, the guy always over sings and I don't believe for a second that he's really emo.. IMO Adam's persona is as fake as the Norman Gentle character and I don't understand why others aren't seeing through it too..
The Norman Gentile guy was really funny. I don't usually laugh at that kind of thing, but I laughed my ass off throughout his whole performance. I hope he makes it through. That last note that he hit and held for a long time was FLAT. But whatever, he was hilarious. Just what AI needs IMO. He would actually be a better host than Flamin' Seacrest. And yes, Paula was back to her old tricks again. Totally incoherent. Bless her heart.
I watched some of this last night with ma ladi. I have to say, I didn't see anybody worth watching again. All of them were terrible, but then again I think almost everyone on this show is terrible, almost every year. Cheers.
Lambert has the cheesey rocker look that I really don't like and can't get in touch with, but his voice is amazing. It really is. Even in his earlier performances, you can tell, he can hit any note and I'd be willing to bet that he is in the final 2 when it is all said and done. The guy has an amazing voice - some of you who don't like him, need to try and get past the cheesey black hair, rocker look and really listen to his voice. Like Paula and the judges, I was blown away by him last night. He has to be the favorite now.
I agree you have to look past his look and listen to his voice.. but I wouldn't go so far as to say he's a top 2 favorite. But he has a nice voice and should make the top 12 imo
It's a same Matt Giraud (Viva la Vida guy) was so bad last night. I was really looking forward to him. He has NAILED every song he sang until that one, with Georgia on My Mind being my favorite, easily. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZkzOAhk_Sfo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZkzOAhk_Sfo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
a "limb" given that there was already a pretty good chance he was in the final 12.. I was happy--the 3 I wanted to be chosen based on last night's performances were chosen.. and I hope Matt Giraud makes it in from this group as a wild card (along with Anoop from the first one). Then I could say all 8 of the people I wanted in, made it in.. Danny is still my fav/choice to win it
but yeah, Allison just killed that song...if she keeps going like that after this week, it'll be hard not to pull for her. But I'll wait to see it again. And Carrie Underwood killed Alone the year she won it... that was the song that kinda put her on the map.
allison and adam were pretty obvious, but i thought for sure megan or mishavonna would have made it through.
