Is anybody watching American Idol this year?

[Kupkake]

Is my buddy ssmithhhh watching yet?  I miss my Siobhan fan buddy.

So this week, 2 will go home.. who do you think are the ones who will be in jeopardy?

[KoKoPuf]

I'm guessing, (hoping?) Stefano and Paul.

I have always believed that the teenage girl vote was the most important vote to get the win .
that's mostly because I have two daughters with friends and I have listened to them discuss the
voting process ...

I think that is what cost Adam the win , the pictures of him were released of a compromising kiss
and the votes went down ... 

this year I don't know though , Stefano was my pick for the TAG vote but now I think my system is flawed .
I have checked in with my TAG voting insiders and Scotty seems to be the front runner ...
it must be the deep voice ?

[Kupkake]

I would like to see Paul go home but I fear the "Sanjaya factor" is at work and he'll keep going and going and going (somewhat mixed metaphors there!).  As for the other, Stefano or Haley.

[XBAMA]

yeah KK ... Stefano and Haley are my go homers as well 

that Sanjaya factor is exactly what I was talking about
the TAG vote kept him there way to long

March 30 Idol -

Stefano and Haley redeemed themselves.  Time for Paul and Naima to go home.  The rest did a really nice job, some better than others.  James was wild and fun!  He turned AI into his own show!  Flaming piano and all!  He seems to get stronger each week.  Casey trimmed his hair and beard and did a much better job this week.  Last two notes of his song won a lot of us to his softer side.  Poor guy collapsed in a the hall after last week's "save" and had to have another blood transfusion for his intestinal problems.

And Steven was his usual classic self - some of his comments are so funny!  Told Laura Alaina that if she kept singing like that she'd be able to afford the rest of the dress!  As a 16/17 yr old in a sexy black dress with a floor length train and a short skirt front she just smiled and looked like she wanted a hole to open in the floor!

Idol is sooo much more fun this year!

rocker boy and peaches from Georgia were my favorites tonight ...

that comment Stephen made about the dress was hilarious

I  agree kupkake , the show is much better this year 

hope everyone voted ...

I told my wife before James had his turn he was going to sing Saturday night
some times I'm psychic like that 

[Allie]

Don't forget the grandma vote..  My mom voted up to 150 times a night for the ones she liked. 

[KoKoPuf]

I'm amazed at the talent this year. In years past at this stage, you would have 3 poor performances, 5 average performances and 3 good-very good performances. Now, it is 1-2 average performances and 8-9 very good performances.

I think the top 5 will be Scotty, James, Pia, Casey, and either Lauren or Haley, probably Lauren.

Leaving tonight will be Stefano, Naima or Paul.

[Crimson Phoenix]

I don't have much to add after reading KoKoPuf's good assessment.

Only other thoughts:  Paul should be going out in the near future....but it is possible he may hang in a while longer because of "Vote for the Worst."

I think Scotty will win the whole thing.  

If Pia doesn't upgrade some, she may not be in the top three.  Her voice is beautiful, but she sings the same old way every time and doesn't have the stage presence a few of the others do.

[Kupkake]

Oh no!  Idol sent Naima and Thia home - we are going to be stuck with Paul (no voice, chicken dance) FOREVER!

[Terrie1959]

Oh no!  Idol sent Naima and Thia home - we are going to be stuck with Paul (no voice, chicken dance) FOREVER!

I truly don't see what anyone "sees" (hears) in his voice. I can't stand it.  Hoping he goes next week.

[Crimson Phoenix]

A negative critique from me this morning.

Scotty McCreery and Casy were the only contestants who still seemed natural to me.    There was too much glitz and phoniness about the rest (and the whole show).

I just think the producers are doing too much.  They are coaching the talent of the contestants …but the props are stronger than the talent in most cases.

James Durbin was over his head (and level of talent) with the dress and stage tricks.  It was a turn-off for me.  Paul looked like a carnival clown, and the younger girls wobbled across the stage in five-inch heels with costumes that looked like they were playing dress-up in mommy’s clothes.  But 55 million people voted, so a few people do like the New American Idol show.  

[Kupkake]

CP - I agree with you.  I think the Idol has been over-produced too.  Sometimes the background(?) music seems to just drown out the singers, some of the background scenes overwhelm the singer and (are those 5 inch heels?) the shoes are just waaay too much.  I don't see how they move in them, let alone dance.  I think they can tone it all down and get an even better effect.  I think Kokopuf may have commented on the music early in this thread.  I know I heard it from him!
