American Idol V

[D-Dogg]

Oh, plus Paula was DRUNK off her old a on the show. MAN, clearly on the sauce..babbling about who knows what, giggling like a schoolgirl and head down on the desk. Her eyes were all googly too. D-R-U-N-K.

That was some AWESOME TV right there.

 

[JS22]

I decided to watch "Deal or no Deal" instead of the crappy results show. (C'mon! Group singing!?) I must say, that show is AWESOME! You can be a complete moron and still walk away with 2 million.

Well, I did switch to see who was being eliminated. Good to see that Brenna is gone. One more week with her and I would have stabbed my eyes out and set fire to my ears.

I wanted to slap her D-Dogg! Now that you mention it she had to hammered.

Man Philly, do you just not like Paula or all 40-year old drunk chicks who like men half there age?

A-Bomb

Yeah, she was being extremely rude (unintentionally) to the contestants who were about to be voted off. Pretty jacked up. I'd be suprised if there isn't some sort of reprimand. Clearly she was ripped.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

paula was obnoxious last night

my favorite bit of the night is when everyone is consoling those who got voted off - except brenna, who is forcing her way into the screen posing ugly - i just hope she puts out a record, so she can taste failure again

i'm not a fan of sway - i just don't think he sings that well or presents himself well - i thought that since he first came on the show and he was unable to sway it (yeah for a bad pun this early in the morning!)

as for the pasty kid - he'll be gone shortly - i think the final 3 next week will be him, bucky & will

lebron goes home for the females next week as well

I think Will has more voting power than Gedeon. I think that guy is going to be gone. I hope Chicken Little is gone too. Of course, it all depends on how they sing.

I don't know who will go away with Lebron though. Probably Melissa Mcghee and that's a travesty...I like her a lot, and Kellie Pickler should get the boot, but her "calamari" and "omgi'msuchahick" schtick will keep her around over a far better singer.

 

[CardFan67]

Nothing surprising to me, seemed to be the bottom of the barrel left, Paula has some huge monkey on her back whether she knows it or not, and thank God Brenna is gone, she was the Amarosa of this years AI... Chicken little better be next - and yes I guess it would be okay if he stays as long as next weeks performance warrants it...

 

[MigratingOsprey]

for me this is the weird time in the show where everyone gets upset about placement of when people leave - mainly because if you find them annoying you don't want to see them - although you know they have no hope

to me their is little difference from next week until the final 6 - it's all placement

here is my rundown

ayla - decent voice, decent looking, inexperienced, not captivating enough to go all the way - just don't know when her run will end

ace - annoys the bejeezus out of me - i think his vocals are good, but not great - i think he'll lean on the pouty sensitive guy thing and go pretty far - but eventually fizzle out earlier than some people predict - constantine part 2

bucky - a genuine kind of guy who lacks confidence on stage and doesn't sell the songs - he'll be gone shortly

chris - i agree that his voice sounds like one that is very recordable, so far one of the few constestants I could actually envision hearing on the radio

katharine - attractive, good voice, in need of an emotional performance that gets the audience on her side - should go far

kellie - cute and captivating - she'll go far because people like her and believe in her being genuine - for some reason I think it's all played up - maybe it's past experience with cute southern girls - but I think she has a hard edge that she is masking - maybe that could help her though

elliott - the shark can sing - but is scary while he does it

kinnik - really does nothing for me - has the tendency to lean country while america expects soul - probably not the fairest thing in the world for her - but c'est la vie

lisa - good voice and emerging performer

gedeon - i think he has a great voice - he just creeps me out - really nothing captivating about him either

mandisa - great voice - not the right look though - will be interesting if she can nail some contemporary stuff that will captivate the audience - it's not like fantasia is something to write home about

melissa - smokey, raspy voice - probably not enough range or personality to stick around - although I enjoy her being on the show

kevin - not a great singer - but a storyline guy - he'll stick around a little bit, like the red haired kid last year - i won't hate on him because he won't take out anyone who matters - at least this will help the kid get laid

paris - voice and personality - just has to stay young and not overdo it

taylor - i really like his voice and style but fear he is getting caught up in being that grey haired guy - i think he is taking something genuine and turning it into schtick - i hope i'm wrong

will - i think he does a good job out there - i think he has a lot of potential - i don't think well see him at the end of this month

as of right now my final 8 would be:

Ace, Chris, Katharine, Elliott, Lisa, Mandisa, Kellie & Paris

It will be interesting to who can make themselves contemporary though

and if you tell anyone I just did a full breakdown on american idol - bad things will happen

 

[Pariah]

i just hope she puts out a record, so she can taste failure again

You hope she succeeds? So she can fail again?

Isn't that like hoping the Seahawks make it to the superbowl again so they'll be defeated one more time?

 

[D-Dogg]

I like your breakdown, but I think you are dropping Ayla down quite a bit. She has been the most consistent up there, and was great both times. She's got a great voice, and she seems to be busting out of her shell quite a bit. She reminds me of how Kelly Clarkson rocketed up the show season 1, from just a girl at auditions to holy crap, this girl can sing to WOW, she's awesome. Not that I think Ayla is Kelly or on that plane, but I think we'll see her continue to grow. Everyone but Ayla, Lisa, and Chris, Paris, Elliot and kind of Mandisa (firs performance was meh, Cry was fantastic) has had a bad performance. Ayla's have both been very good (suprisingly good, say the judges). I think she's going to continue to break out, along with Sharkboy, as the confidence grows.

Just an observation. I don't think she can win it, but I can see her in the top 4.

 

[Pariah]

I don't know their names well enough to comment on the breakdown. I agree with the names I do recognize--Ace and Taylor. I hope Taylor takes it down a notch so that his "character" remains genuine. I like him quite a bit.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

pariah - it doesn't take success to put out an album - it just takes a little bit of money - there are tons of crap bands that put on albums - really don't take success - i knew some kids in highschool who formed the jew tang clan and made a CD - it was a joke and they knew it - but it was still done

i just find it funny if she put that much money and effort into putting something out there - just to find that no one really cares

kind of like the cardinals solving their RB issue with smith, shipp & arrington - everyone knew that one was too old, the other just not that good and the final a bad fit - but it was fun to watch them try

 

[MigratingOsprey]

as far as ayla - i think she has good vocals - but I don't think the show is really about vocals - i think if she can put out a couple songs that are poppy and fun and display personality she could go pretty far

however, the time to do that is running out - pretty soon they'll be locked into themes where I think she'll give solid, but forgettable, performances

she has to make a connection with the audience and quick

 

[phillycard]

Man Philly, do you just not like Paula or all 40-year old drunk chicks who like men half there age?

A-Bomb

a-bomb to be honest I love Paula! She's a fine lil thing, I just hate seeing her sweat these young bucks like she does. I would have married her on the spot 3 years ago! She should have no prob getting a man. I don't see what the prob is! And for the record, I LOVE drunk chicks!

 

[abomb]

Nice analysis MO.

A-Bomb

 

[Dback Jon]

Mandisa is the best female by far.

Hopefully, goodbye to Kinnick and Ayla.

Overall the girls were horrible yesterday.

How did Paris do last night?

 

[D-Dogg]

Last night's performances by the women:


Mandiesel--Another strong performance on a pretty weak overall night. Sorry though, it's not better than Cry was, and I'm Every Woman is so damn tired on this show. It is sung every year, and it's always belted out like that. Mandiesel wins tonight, just barely.

McPheever--great voice, ok performance. I love her, and I think she's fantastic. She's got great personality, and a really great voice.

Lisa Tucker--Great voice but I'm wondering if she can do anything exciting. She's great, no doubt, but Mandiesel and McPheever both have her trumped in the personality department.

Melissa McGhee--Smoky voice and sexy attitude. I loved her performance last night, just fantastic. Too bad her fan base is very small, I think she's going to be voted off on Thursday.

Ayla Brown--Dumb song, because I hate it, but decent performance. Her voice is very good, and I hope this doesn't hurt her because she's light years ahead of pickler, and wanted to do an uptempo song to showcase personality. If she went like Tucker and just sang another safe song, she'd be in no danger. Probably feeling the pressure.

Paris--Poop. That was a really poor performance by her, and was very disappointing. It was boring and bleh, and I love Paris. She's totally safe though, which is a good thing, because that was crap.

Kellie Pickler-- Does anyone else think she's a total fake? And her voice is just not good. I'm going to be severely disappointed when her hick schtick ends up knocking off far better singers like McGhee and Ayla, one of which will happen on Thursday. That was her best performance yet, and I still thought it was merely ok. Her voice bugs, especially on high notes.

Kinnik--- Goodbye. Seriously, that's all I have to say. Goodbye, you've been thouroughly outdone by everyone on this show but Chicken Little.

 

[D-Dogg]

How did Paris do last night?

Someone else pretty boring snatched her body and did a piss poor cover of "Conga."

Pretty darned accurate... Kind of boring night overall...

this will sound a little light but Ayla Brown's outfit was freaking horrendous... She was told to think younger so she dressed like someone playing with a wardrobe and then picked a really boring song...

 

[MigratingOsprey]

goes back to what I was saying about Ayla - she needs to make a connection, it just doesn't come natural to her

she picked a song that people would know, that she could try and have fun with - but had absolutely no range and nothing memorable about it - trying to do the right thing, but learning on the job can be dangerous when you are basically in a tournament

as stated before I think Kellie probably has darker/dirtier side to her that she masks with the gee-shucks country bumpkin routine - with that said though, i couldn't help but smiling and laughing when she was on stage yesterday

kinnik is thankfully gone and I believe that mcghee will probably be joining her, which is bad because I actually enjoy what she does and she has a different voice and approach that adds to the show

 

[jf-08]

ayla - she really surprised me last night as well. Terrible song, but she showed a little versatility.

ace - he needs to sing something with testosterone.

bucky - I don't see him lasting very long.

chris - he's the one to beat for the guys. The guy is a monster.

katharine - I think she's the one to beat for the girls. She has the normal girl look but is strikingly beautiful. He voice just kills.

kellie - In a year, she'll be in the porn biz

elliott - every time I look at him, I think to myself, "Damn, that Amish dude can really sing."

kinnik - She looks like Wesley Snipes in To Fu Young or whatever that show was where he was in drag.

lisa - is one hell of a talent, but needs to pick a decent song.

gedeon - ihe looks like a cartoon character or a characterture of someone. He'll be out in a show or two.

mandisa - has a great attitude and really rocked last night with Chaka Khan.

melissa - she is right out of Double-wide Acres. Trailer trash through and through. Does absolutely nothing for me.

kevin - this muppet will be around for another show or two just because of the sympathy factor. IMO, he shouldn't have made it through Hollywood, although he seems to be a great kid.

paris - I think she lost it last night and really performed bad. I thought she was the one to beat for the girls, but I still think she's top 3 in the females.

taylor - better show something good tonight. His song last week was not real good. However, I really like his voice.

will - I was surprised that he didn't get the axe last week with that bad Jackson 5 song. He better bring his A game tonight.

as of right now my final 8 would be:

Taylor, Chris, Katharine, Elliott, Lisa, Mandisa, Kellie & Paris

 

[Dback Jon]

Another Bleh night....
