American Idol: Discussion Thread

Beat boxing does not make you a good god damn singer..... (neither does hoopin and hollering like the "powerhouses" try to do).

And this vocal by him isn't that damn good. He's just imitating them and it's annoying.

[Soapsuds]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....Ricky Shroeder is there!!!! HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ryan]

Thank god she's singing "Broken Wing". I was about sick of "I Who Have Nothing"

[Cheap21]

He didnt beat box in the second song. I know alot of people dont like it but face it his fans love it. I know I felt like he was losing his identiy out there when he stopped it for a few weeks and loved when he brought it back. Its part of what makes him unique and different and its his signature. Its safe to say that there hasnt been any AI finalist like him before and he is memorable.

Wow! what a crappy show so far they both suck and I mean suck bad. Jordan just killed one of my favorite songs and she was way off, and sorry Randy the vocals were not good. And Blake's second song was horrid, although his first was ok I guess.

[Soapsuds]

I actually like that song...I Who Have Nothing.

[winterguy125]

Is Randy on drugs, her version was better than the original, I think NOT it was ok but no where near the original

[JER Soaps Fan]

Oh, my WORD!@! Jordin looks like a friggin' GIANT compared to Ryan right now!!! What a freakshow! What happened to her?!

[Soapsuds]

She won round 2 and it was great at the end. But the beginning part was just ok for me.

[JER Soaps Fan]

Oh, listen to Blake trying to sing a slow song. GET OFF THE DAMN STAGE, MORON! You're note cute! And THANK GOD "Best WEek Ever!" did that expose on what Blake will look like in thirty years. TAKE THAT, teeny boppers who are ruining Jordin's dream by supporting that simpleton!

[JER Soaps Fan]

Um, Blake? You're "living in" JORDIN'S moment! Stop singing that and get off the stage. Quit! Quit!!! (Lord, I dislike this guy)

[JER Soaps Fan]

What, so Simon gives Blake a pass on that song just because it's not something he'd ordinarily sing? Oh, NO he DI-in't!!!!

[winterguy125]

WOW! Blake sounded great in that last song and amazing they slam him yet tell Jordan she is better than the original, this show is so rigged.

And sorry Jordan but Melinda is 500 times a better singer than you will ever be. But we will find that out once she has number one after number one.

[Ryan]

To quote Shrek....

"Alright...you're gettin on my last nerve" Simon.....quit making excuses....you're just pissed because Melinda's not in the finale.

A versatile singer can make anything he/she gets sounds good. Blake IMO (though I love him) isn't a versatile singer. He has one thing he's good at and that's not necessarily a bad thing. However they sing different genres each week to show their versatility and he hasn't done that.

Jordin on the other hand isn't the best showperson, but she has really good vocal ability and that has proven successful (minus last year w/ that god awful Taylor.....) in the past. The singers can develop their stagepresence after they win. Kelly did it, Ruben did it, Fantasia enhanced hers, Carrie's gotten better (but she ain't great), Chris rocks, Katharine has gotten better to.

Round 1 - Blake

Round 2 - Jordin

Round 3 (Based on Blake's performance it goes to Jordin by default)

[Soapsuds]

The final song is definetly a Jordin song. She should nail it! She hasnt been real impressive tonight.
