Is anybody watching American Idol this year?

[crimsonmom]

Until AI limits the # of votes per phone line, text etc., this will continue to happen.  I got disgusted the year Daughtry was voted out and haven't watched since. There was so much talk about the talent this year I decided to try it again and nothing has changed. There is a lot of talent but Pia should not have left this early.

I think we are all taking it harder than Pia....hope this makes you all feel better.  I feel better.


American Idol's Pia Toscano: "I Want to Do Movies"
"I see an album in my future… pop with an R&B influence," adds the New York-native, who was voted off Thursday. "So many good things are coming from the experience," she says. "Right now I want to be ready for the tour." "Everything happens for a reason."

And Pia has Tom Hanks behind her....so if she wants to be in movies, she probably won't have a problem being introduced to the right people.

Maybe people will see that it all worked out well for her.

After last week with Pia.....who knows who will be voted off tonight.  

My thoughts (rumblings to myself mostly).

Lauren Alaina had the poorest performance.  

Paul was clown-like as usual, but he wasn't forgettable like Lauren.

Stefano sang with too much intensity.  

Jacob Lusk too.  Jacob can't help having a huge mouth, but I think it hurts him with close-up shots because he is so dramatic.  

Scotty seemed a little cocky last night....not his usual modest self.  

I love jazz...and was glad that Casey stuck to his real music preferences, but jazz isn't very popular in the U.S. and it could hurt him with voters.

I was also impressed that James Durbin stuck to his guns.  Of course, the coach (Jimmy Lovine) was probably right with his suggestions about what Casey and James should sing to stay in the game longer.

***I had a negative reaction to Judge Jennifer's use of a swear word.  American Idol is a family show.  In a way, what she said took away from her beauty.

Hey, CP! I thought last night's show wasn't quite as good as the past two weeks but it may be I'm disillusioned about last week's vote. I thought James, Scotty and Lauren were the best last night. Haley was a little weak but she looks good so I hope she stays awhile. I donn't really like jazz so I was not impressed with Casey's performance.  My prediction: Paul, Stefano and Casey in the bottom 3 with Stefano going home.

[Crimson Phoenix]

KoKoPuf…

I agree with you about last night not being as good, and I have the same jaded feelings as you do after last week.

O.K..... I think the bottom three will be Lauren, Stefano, and Casey or Paul.  I cannot even imagine which one will be voted off.  Your predictions sound good.  

How does KupKake see it?

[Kupkake]

I wasn't as fired up about watching last night as in previous weeks.  I don't think it had anything to do with Pia going home because, although I though she was beautiful and had a beautiful voice, I always thought she was too beauty "pageanty" and didn't relate to her songs - and I never voted for her.  But something was definitely different last night and I just can't figure what it was.  I loved James ( and I hate heavy metal but he made me enjoy it) and I understood what Casey was trying to do and I liked it.  I don't have a problem with the singers telling Jimmy Lovine that that's not them and not what they want to do.  I think some of them would rather be true to themselves and leave than do whatever Jimmy says and stay.  And that seems to be the mark of a true artist.  

I think this whole hinky thing with the voting is getting to me.  I am not even going to wager who will go home this week.  I've been trying to get rid of Paul for weeks so it's clear I have no impact on that!  

I voted for James, Casey and Haley.  I do think we need the second girl there longer.  Hey, a bunch of these guys just ain't all that great!

American Idol watchers....I think this is a good article from Entertainment Weekly.  It's mostly about the current judges lack of judging.

Well hush m' mouth!   Paul McDonald was voted off American Idol.  Not one of the judges looked disappointed! None of the remaining 7 looked so either.  Lauren cried a little but she cries over everyone that leaves.

Go to vote for the worst.com and vote for Haley to be the worst.  If she receives the VFTW votes maybe we can keep her around longer.  It really is time for Stefano to go next.

Haley and Casey's duet was hot!   Guess that chemistry they have going is a good thing!  And she looked gorgeous.  She definitely has a better figure than Lauren and what LEGS  I am sooo jealous - but I am going to keep voting to keep her on.

I knew you would be happy about that KupKake.

That last suit he wore probably did him in with the young girls....especially when Randy mentioned that it was SO like Porter Wagoner.

Well, CP,  we know most of the young girls have no idea who Porter Wagoner is!  It would be interesting to know who they think he is.  The ones in the south may but you know no younguns from NY have a clue! I thought the suit looked just like the white one except in black!  You wonder where he came up with those things!

[Crimson Phoenix]

I was really teasing about the young girls and Porter Wagoner.  I would think hardly ANYONE remembers him.  I think Paul just looked especially ridiculous this past week....and his singing wasn't much better.  "Vote for the Worst" did not save him.

I remember Dolly Parton being on television a long time ago with the Porter Wagoner band and will never forget his colorful clothes.  If I'm not mistaken, that is Dolly stepping away in the background of the video before Porter starts singing..  She had short hair then.

CP -

I must admit even my memory of Porter Wagoner is pretty dim.  I had a Yankee mother and she hated country music so we didn't have a lot of it around our house.  And I really didn't remember that he wore fancy outfits.  Do you have any idea how Paul's outfits look so much like Porter's?  I haven't seen any story about it..

You have a better memory than I do!

They are called "Nudie suits" and have been around for a long time. Hank Williams, Elvis, Little Jimmy Dickens, Lash Larue and Gram Parsons are just a few who have sported Nudie suits over the years.
