American Idol **Official Thread**

[fishersofmen]

What was that circus act they had playing towards the end of the show?? They tell Adam he is srange, that girl made him look boring......man that was weird.

[Canon Guy]

You knew when Megan said she didn't care about what Simon thought that he was going to get his shot in before the show ended,and she opened the door for him. She is just awful!

I think Adam is the most orignal but he needs to limit that high scream or people will get tired of it. Allison is amazing for 16 years old but it appears she does not have a huge fan base since she's been in the bottom three twice in the last three weeks. Danny has a killer voice and Kris really has his "A" game going. Lil seems to be struggling but is capable of stitching together a hot streak.

[LwnmwnMan2]

Allison will not have a huge fan base because of the pink hair.

There's too many people in this world yet that won't vote for someone like that because they're strange or they don't want to support someone that isn't conforming.

It's the "appeal to the masses" that wins in the end.

That's why so many people complain about whatever genre of music they listen to, that it's just bland

Adam should win, on the mere fact of what he can do, how he can be completely different entertainers from "Play that Funky Music" to the song he did 2 weeks ago.

Sure he screams alot, and that will turn people off, but look at the song 2 weeks ago. But he won't win, because Kris or Danny will have a more consistant base and which ever one of them goes up against Adam will get the other's vote.

That's my story, I'm sticking to it.

[Windy City]

There is a fine line between being "quirky" and just being weird and Megan crossed over this week, she was awful close to the line the past two weeks. End of story. I kind of like Lawn's assessment though I still think Adam will find a way to win. Kris and Danny are good but not great, Adam is unforgettable and that is what Simon always says they are looking for. I think he will make the biggest impact when he hits the recording studio. I agree with the Allison assessment, she is getting close to the "weirdo" line that Megan crossed this week. The time clock is ticking on Scott, Anoop and Matt and Lill if she does not jump back into her time machine and get back to the twenty something age rather than the late 40's early 50's age she is in right now.

[UdeLakeTom]

Allison still has a couple in front of her to go first..She just might hang in there for a little while. If it was on talent only, she would be doing better. I hope she learned something from Megan Jo being let go.

[bassNspear]

glad to see megan go. Be interesting to see what happens when they sing songs from the year they were born!

[Wanderer]

I finally saw an artist that Megan could have sounded and performed like ---Lady Ga Ga --- what the heck was that?????!!!!!

[Sandmannd]

You knew when Megan said she didn't care about what Simon thought that he was going to get his shot in before the show ended,and she opened the door for him. She is just awful!

The way she acted this week really put me off. With the faces and the remarks, lack of respect and I have no time for the kids that act that way.

I have know idea what lady ga ga was, but good God, don't put that on again.

[Jordyn Kaufer]

Go danny go!

lady gaga is a "new" pop-star thing..

and i agree with you bbecause i really wasnt sure on what she was wearing!!

[Iambjm]

Megan....the female Sanjaya

[bassNspear]

im excited to see what happens this week. Its getting better and better every week. Alot of good talent thats forsure.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

I heard this week will be songs from the year you were born.

[UdeLakeTom]

It's a good thing they aren't gonna sing songs from when we were born!!

[bassNspear]

I heard this week will be songs from the year you were born.

ya, they said this at the end of last weeks show!

[Sandmannd]

Cool, hopefully they learn how to pick songs this week. Some pretty bad picks last week, IMO.

[The Grebe]

The year I was born? Why the year I was born? All they had for songs the year I was born, was a harmonica ditty, another tune played with a comb and a piece of wax paper and a couple of country songs....well, not really songs, kinda like howling and yodeling...kinda like someone got Mr. Johnson caught in the zipper? Only with some kind of melody, I think? Well, maybe it was just some instrument noise and not really a melody?

I think the hit tune for that year was "On Top Of Old Smokey" sung with a clothes pin on his nose, by Minnie Pearls dad! Me and Mr. Pearl used to be buds.

Roy Rogers and Dale Evens weren't even on television yet when I was born...heck, they weren't even born! Gabby Hayes wasn't even born yet!

I think the guys and gals on the Idol are gonna have a time of it singing songs from the year I was born! Lets see? The back up music makers will have to know how to play the washboard, the wash tub, one string banjo and the harpoon! Good luck to em!

[UdeLakeTom]

Good one Grebe. There probably wasn't even radio back then.

[Deitz Dittrich]

LOL @ Grebe!!!!! They have age restrictions on contestants, that why I havent won it yet.. LMAO.. that was a joke...

but you got me thinking.. so I did a google search!!!

1971

#1. Joy To The World, Three Dog Night

anybody else willing to do the google search?

[Sandmannd]

I would search, but looks like we were born in the same year Deitz.

And Grebe, I didn't know they played music on the radio in that day, I though it was just the Green Lantern and such.

[UdeLakeTom]

"Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)" - Tex Williams

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Who loves ya, man!

[PerchJerker]

[bassNspear]

there going to rock it out tonight!

SHould be a great show!

[Deitz Dittrich]

I dont know who is in the top 3, nor do I care. If I was forced.. Matt lead the night, Noop was good, Allison brought it. I wasnt as impressed with Adam tonight, but simon loved it? Confused.. maybe other people loved it. I have really liked a lot of his stuff, but tonight was not into it.

Bottom 2, no need for 3.. Bottom 2, Lil' and then how fitting. "The Search is Over".. Sorry Scott, ok, not even sorry, tonight was your last night.

[The Grebe]

Man! Can that Adam close a show or what? I didn't even know the song and I was clapping when it was done! That dude can bring it!

I think Lil might get the axe this week? Bottom 3...Lil, Danny, Scott, Lil goes home. Thats my story and I'm stickin to it!

Lil started out the competition looking like a shoe in to win it and then she started going downhill, compared to the other contestants....whats up with that?

They were all good tonight, except for Lil.....she looked good, but sounded only so, so. Anoop, Matt, Adam, the red haired lass, dang they were pretty impressive!

Tomorrow ought to be interesting.
