American Idol: Discussion Thread

[King]

Firstly, you can't break your nose and not be hospitalized. It's a huge health risk!

Secondly, oh yeah. I forgot how the idols sing with their fav musicians in the finale now. I like that. I can't wait! There were some great performances last year.

Thirdly, JORDIN IS GOING TO ROCK, ROCK, ROCK AN XTINA SONG!!!! This is going ot be AWESOME! If there is one person who can sing Xtina, it's Jordin. And Fighter is that fresh, angry age that I love from Jordin.

Lastly, I really can't wait to see Blake sing his last song. I hope it's as fish out of water as I am seeing in my head.

And I did not like Blake singing Maroon 5 because he basically just imitated them and was very unoriginal. He cannot be original with songs unless he beat boxes in them, and that got old in March.

She probably snorted some bad cocaine and now her nose looks all fucked up. Of course, she can't come right out and admit what she did, so she's coming up with the good ol' fashioned broken nose excuse, LoL

[KLN]

The only rock song that Jordin did well was "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar. The Bon Jovi week was incredibly week, so I don't have high hopes for "Fighter" which is not only a rock song, but a difficult one at that.

Blake sucked with Maroon 5 last time, and he'll suck with Maroon 5 this time. What a safe song! I can sing that song half asleep and sound decent. As for the Bon Jovi song, he suuuucked with it last time. Of course, his little fangirls (and fanboys!) ate it up though, so I'm sure it won't matter in the end.

I really think she is going to rock that one note in the middle of the song that only people with powerhouse voices can rock.

[KLN]

That will probably be the only part that's powerhouse. I really don't have high hopes for this song, LoL

It is being reported that she was not hospitalized as it wasn't serious. I agree with you but that is what was said.

I agree with what you said about the songs. Thinking about it now, I think Jordin will rock that song. She has the vocals and I know she will do good with "Broken Wing" and that Idol song will mostly likely be her style. I am really pulling for her.

Blake did sound like Maroon 5 and that is probably why it was his first performance in months that I liked. Maybe it was my Maroon 5 fondness talking I guess. As for the Bon Jovi song, that song was full of energy but I hated how he changed it into a completely different song. It's a singing competition and there were moments where he hardly sang in that song. I like taking risks but that one was a clusterf**k in my opinion. No doubt Blake will look terrible on the last song.

Looking forward to tomarrow night.

OMG, miss a couple of DAYS in this thread, miss a LOT!@@ How did you do it AGAIN?!@!!

This just adds to the pile of evidence. Hot damn!

"Fighter" is a rock-ish song, and the rock week wasn't exactly Jordin's best. As I said before, "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar was really the only good rock performance she had, IMO. That's why I'm worried. Combined with the fact that it's hard to sound as good as the original on any Mariah/Celine/Whitney/Christina song, and this could be a disaster waiting to happen. If she pulls it off, though, it could win her even more votes than if she played it safe, so I guess it could pay off if she really thinks she has the chops to do it.

The song "Fighter" also has the backup singers as a pretty strong accent to the lead, and unless the lead singer can really sing the words exactly on the same cues as the backup singers (which may be difficult since some lines are said very fast), it can end up sounding like sh!t and could make it hard to understand the lyrics. There are alot of lines to that song that you have to sing all in one breath, and then you have to continue on to the next line without pause, and you just have to have really good breath control in order to make it sound good.

I'm a pretty decent singer (really!) and I've always found this song to be rather difficult at belting out. I'm so worried that Jordin is going to suck! LoL Oh well... she'll get a recording contract, anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[King]

Jordin can handle it!

[David_Vickers]

Exactly about Jordin and "Heartbreaker". Jordin sucked the big one on "Livin' On a Prayer". Bon Jovi week was not increbily weak IMHO. I think Jordin picking "Fighter" will be her downfall. Hopefully it will be!!!

Blake sung Maroon 5 good the last time and he'll do even better tonight. On Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name", Blake F U C K I N G ROCKED, being one of his best performances.

BLAKE LEWIS'S GONNA KICK SOME JORDIN ASS!

[Cheap21]

Go Blake! Simon is right, Blake is the BEST performer in this competition. He always entertains me and he's so much fun to watch

[Rhiannon]

I wasn't to impressed with Blake's first song........

Anyone else see Chris & Phil in the audience?

Phil was in his Navy uniform......

Jordin girl......bad move. This song is so Christina's.

They needed much more guitar and drums for this song. Jesus.....it would have been better if they got Dave Navarro to play.

She started off weak, but she recovered. 7/10

Blake got a 8/10 for me.

[Soapsuds]

It seems all the AI finalists are there. I loved Blake's performance. Jordin started off good but then started shriking like Simon said.

[Rhiannon]

I'm so tired of hearing about god damn beat boxing.....
