American Idol: Discussion Thread

[EricaKane70]

Wow I'm shocked Melinda was out but I gave this show up weeks ago so I really don't care. Poor Melinda can now join Tamyra Gray for being kicked off of AI because of teen girls infatuation with a cute guy.

[Cheap21]

actually , Tamyra got kicked off bc America kept voting to keep Nikki McKibbin in and she was panned as being the worst throughout that season yet made it to final 3

Mulder, I don't really know why you've gone apeshit on me over my hate of Lexie/Renee Jones/Blake, but I don't really care either. I don't like any of them, I will continue to call them names, and judge them. I attack the people we are discussing, I don't attack you. I have the right to judge as a viewer of the show. That's the whole premise of the show. I don't care if you attack Jordin and call her a cow. Go to town! I am not going to make it personal towards you. You really need to loosen up. But, no, I will not start editing my thoughts or feelings on the matter for you. Sorry, tootz. You didn't give me a taste of my own medicine because unlike you, I don't care if people share my opinions or not because I still have them, regardless.

BLAKE SUCKS! And he looks like my ass.

I am sorry you think Ruben and Fantasia are successful because they both stink. Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Hudson are the only successful idol contestants.

OH....we start trash talking the Divine Jordin and the Divine Carrie, we will be fighting up in here tonight!!!

It should have been Melinda vs. Jordin and let the best Diva win!! Blake got there because of girls who are prolly to young to have a cell phone and are like that blonde crying girl earlier this season!! Blake are you cute? Yes, I think so. Is the beatboxing old? HELL YES, do something different and surprise us next week, but I don't think you will, so whatever!!!

JORDIN SPARKS BABY!!

I haven't heard anything from Ruben or Fantasia record wise, however, Fantasia is in the Broadway version of Color Purple, so that's good...

*STANDING OVATION*

[King]

Thanks, hottie.

*BLOWJOB OVATION.*

[EricaKane70]

I totally forgot about her, yet another forgetable AI contestant. Regardless Justin was kept around because he was cute.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the artist that is Elliott Yamin? He rocked that stage. And to all you that didn't vote for him last year...shame shame shame. You know who you are. Feel free to jump on the bandwagon now.

[R!ck]

I agree, Elliot was great tonight.

Jordin for the win!

Blake is a novelty act just like Taylor Hicks was. Tay seizes on stage, and Blake beatboxes. He will wind up a casuality of "out of sight out of mind" just like Tay Tay.

[King]

I loved Elliot last year. But this year after seeing him tonight and on Kimmel last month and hearing some of his album, I realize I Only like him when he sings other people's songs. But he has a great voice though.

[Jonathan]

His album is awesome! Listen to it a couple of times and you'll see what I mean.

[King]

I previewed it on Itunes a little, and I love his voice, but I don't think his music and I mesh well.

I will try to give him another shot.
