I disagree. It's not all about the singing -- it's also about the persona. I don't like someone's music just because they have a nice voice. I only consider myself a true fan of someone if I can relate to and/or respect what they're singing about and their belief in what they're singing... usually people who write their own stuff.

A nice voice is great, but there's much more to being a "star" or an "American Idol" and certainly more to gaining fans than JUST the voice, IMO.

I think that saying Mandisa is a homophobic is a stretch. A big one. And it's reaching, but I bet this will hurt Mandisa down the line, much like second season with Trenyce and her past with the law. I think that hurt her chances, and she was one of the powerful contestabts who left before her time, IMO.

Prince to Perform on 'American Idol'?

Pop superstar Prince will reportedly appear on American Idol to both coach contestants and perform on the hit TV series - in a bid to maintain high album sales. The notoriously shy star has just released his latest LP, 3121, which debuted at the top of the Us Billboard chart. According to PageSix.com, executives from Prince's record company convinced him to appear on the show to keep the album at the top of the charts, after noting a huge spike in album sales when Barry Manilow appeared on the program earlier this year. According to one source, "It wasn't easy though because Prince apparently hates the show and has never even watched it."

----------

Being a huge Prince fan, I'd be glued to my screen for this, but I'm not sure how this would work out. A lot of his really good songs would be too dirty for American Idol and his sounds are very difficult to sing. I can't think of one person there who could do a Prince song.

I wonder if they'll also be doing stuff from his protege's like Vanity/Appolonia 6 and Sheila E. That might help them a little bit.

First off let me just say I love Paula being booed and Simon being cheered for once :lol: . Now I promised I would keep this brief so here it goes:

Taylor-Horrible, all over the place. The fact that he went first too makes me think bottom 3 for him tomarrow.

Mandisa-Her worst performance and again a little choppy. Not horrible but very up and down. I am curious to see how the controversy surrounding her will affect voting.

Elliot-Vocals were ok but I am tiring of him. I like the guy alot don't get me wrong but his songs are always the same and for some reason I always find him forgettable.

Paris: This confused me. Her voice should have been soaring with this song but it didn't. It was muffled at times. I do think she was uncomfortable much like Taylor was in which case I say to both of them pick somgs you are comfortable with. Not bad and she should be safe but her performance kinda confused me.

Ace-Much better then last week. Vocals were ok and he cut down on the flirting and Constantine-like mannerisms. He may still end up in the bottom since he has been twice but he really shouldn't be for tonight's performance.

Kellie-First of all I was happy she explained herself and showed that she wasn't acting dumb even though people think she is. Nonetheless, she has toned it down of late and she was pretty good today which you would think with tonight's theme. Liked her tonight-she is safe.

Chris-So good to see another side of him and he did great. Vocals were nice and it was refreshing. Hope to see him do more different stuff then just rock. He is proving he is versatile which is good if you want to win. He is safe.

Katherine-Liked it, great song choice. Kinda sexy actually. She is growing on me week after week and her vocals are real good. She is safe.

Bucky-Not too bad actually but nothing to special. I am kinda starting to like him but he really should be at least bottom 3.

My bottom three for tomarrow is Bucky, Taylor, and either Paris, Ace, or Mandisa (Mandisa or Paris could be the traditiona shocks and Elliot could be too). I usually like country week but the singers are picking bad songs which seems to be the theme this year. Every week they are picking horrible songs that are boring or just plain never heard of. I don't remember a year when we saw such bad song choices. Oh well hopefully it will be better in the weeks ahead.

Being a country music fan, I loved thonights show.

Bucky - Bucky sounded exactly like Gary Allen. This was his best performance yet.

Kellie - Fancy is a hard song to sing and I think she did great

Elliott - Excellent! Gave the Garth classic a little more soul

Taylor - Yay for singing West Virginia's unofficial song, He did good. I know the judges didn't like it, but what the hell did they expect? You can't rock a John Denver song lol I hav ebeen trying to get in to vote for him for 45 minutes and cant.

Paris - She was okay, but she sure ain't no LeAnn or Trisha

Mandisa - Def wasn't her best performance, but she was alright. If she wanted to do Shania, I think "Rock this Country" would have been a much better choice

Katharine - I liked that Faith Hill song, but I just wasn't feeling it at all (she was a little sexy though)

Chris - boring song, boring performance. With his rock/scruffy voice, he shouldn't have attempted Keith Urban. He should have sang the other Keith (Toby) and rocked the hell out of "How do you like me now"

Ace - What a difference a few weeks make. I was ready for him to pack it up and go home, but he did great tonight and last week. Excellent Keith Urban cover

Bottom Three: Bucky, Paris, and another shocker (Mandisa/Chris/Taylor/Elliott)
