Members PhoenixRising05 Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 Oh, I will give you Blake is better. I am just saying his style comes off better on stage then it would recorded and when you are listening to it. Blake can sing but he isn't in Melinda or Jordin'a league. Therefore, let's get it right and eliminate him. I can't see Blake doing well on the finale with one of those classic Idol finale ballads with the chorus and all. It will be a disaster. PLus, like Chris, Blake will benefit much more if he is eliminated. If he is resigned to an Idol contract, he will flop big time. I am a big McPhee fan and her voice did give out. She had to have shots all day to treat her voice. She overdid it in rehersal and that is why the judges weren't harsh on her on her last song. Sure, the song sucked but she couldn't do much with it because she couldn't ger vocal range high enough as his voice was giving out. All you have to do is listen to her voice on the final performance show and then on the finale results show and there is a huge difference. You are right about Chris. He was the true winner for sure.

Members David_Vickers Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 Phoenix, I think you may be right about Blake be better off if he doesn't win. I'll give you that that Melinda is better than Blake just based on singing, and Jordin (at her best this week) is, but oftentimes Jordin is NOT as good as Randy Jackson and some on here and elsewhere have stated that she is. Like I've said many times, Jordin is over-rated and needs voice lessons just as Lakisha does, to control her talented vocal skills. I do think Jordin could blow up and be very big. The record company/management company will very likely put her on a strict diet to get her even slimmer (she's a little overweight), heck they even had Carrie Underwood lose quite a bit of weight and she was slim to begin with and is now imho almost too slim. After you went into detal about Katharine's voice problems at the end of last season, it refreshed my memory of what happened. I apologize to you for stating you were wrong (or hinting that you were lying). I've been going thru some family drama/health issue of a sister, and that's stressed me out quite a bit.

Members DaysFanJean Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 I was really worried about how huge Blake's fan base really is, but he was in the bottom two and with LaKisha gone, surely votes that would have been for her will go to Jordin or Melinda so hopefully Blake will be gone next week. I really, really, really and cannot emphasize enough how awful it was for Taylor to win last year. He is such a goon and hasn't done well at all. I'm happy Simon has "disowned" him. If he hadn't been a marketing major and knew how to market Soul Patrol instead of Taylor Hicks, he would not have gained the support he did. It was a disgrace in my opinion.

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 I agree completely. I didn't hate him last year but I do now. He bit off the hand that feeds him and his behavior since then has been appalling. I should also say that we don't know for sure Blake was in the bottom. Ryan never said "bottom two." He just told Melinda she's safe and usually he will say bottom two. You probably are right but I don't know if it's for sure. I knew all season last year Taylor would win because he was unique and what he did attracted people and caught their eye. It was a disgrace but, at the time, he was huge for some reason. Mulder...it's cool. You weren't wrong. So much about the finale last year still mystifies people. Some thought it was sabotage because they didn't want Katherine or something. I knew that wasn't the case because Simon loved her and always was against Taylor. He was pulling for her but her voice just gave out. I still remember season 3's finale where Diana's earphone somehow went out on her and her microphone went dead too or something. Diana shouldn't have been there anyway but it was clear they wanted Fantasia to win. One of the divas had to win due to the loud outcry from fans over losing Jennifer and LaToya. They never did explain why Diana, who was singing great that night and had sung "Don't Cry Out Loud" so perfect a mere week before, had all those problems. She did say she couldn't hear up there and the judges ignored it. During the night the winner was announced, Diana performed amazing and the judges looked guilty for some reason. That whole season was a mess and that finale was weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted May 11, 2007 Members Share Posted May 11, 2007 Blake will release like one single which will suck and then he'll be forgotten about like the 50 other idols no one remembers or hears from. He's horrible. He's like a trainwreck because you never know what horrible thing he's going to do next, but you can't help but watch. I don't see the Taylor comparison at all. Taylor could at least hold a note. And for anyone who thinks Blake is better looking than Taylor...stop deluding yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 12, 2007 Members Share Posted May 12, 2007 Taylor's not bad but he's not great either. Carrie and Kelly are still the best and most profitable and popular winners, as evidence by their constant award wins and critical praise. Ruben has faded in the background. Fantasia is back in the spotlight though I've never been a fan of her music, just not my tastes. I'll give it to Chris Daughtry though. I wasn't a fan of his during the season but I do like his band and his album, and he's done great so kudos to him. Katharine's first album was very low-key. It took too long for it to come out, IMO. I like a few songs but she needs to find a genre and stick to it. Elliot and Paris have both just released albums. I haven't listened to either of theirs yet. I think Jordin should win. She's bubbly, cute, can sing, and has the best potential to be marketable. Melinda does too, I suppose but Jordin just has IT, I think. Blake pales in comparison. He's had his good songs but overall, his win would be on par with Taylor's, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KLN Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 Innnnnteressstinggg.... Hot picture, but I still hate the little piece of sh!t. I wish he'd beat box his way into the middle of an intersection full of blind drivers. He's great at beat boxing, but his singing vocals are severely lacking. If he wins America will have chosen a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted May 15, 2007 Members Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think we all now he's gay. I don't need homoerotic poses to tell me. Also, Taylor was on Jay Leno last night. He looked great. I think he slimmed down a lot and lost that chubby drunk father at a wedding look. And his song was very catchy, but not poppy enough to survive this day and age.

Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted May 15, 2007 Members Share Posted May 15, 2007 On the AI site (FOX) it is said that Elliot Yamin will be on there to perform, along with music group Maroon 5. I want to know who will be the person that will be going home...I want Jordin to stay in it....Don't know about Blake though. I just have a feeling it's going to be two women as the final two.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 16, 2007 Members Share Posted May 16, 2007 Blake did good but I hate the song. Im glad he's starting to go blonde again. Much better than the dark he had the week before Melinda was alright but she sounds the same in ALL her songs. I dont think she has much range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
