American Idol Thread

Seriously? I thought Amanda totally rocked! You just have to know that song... she nailed it! I love the asian girl with the big voice too and the blonde (not gonna turn to the darkside) gal. Actually I like most of the girls but the girl that came out first.. poor thing had to be sick because that song, was as plain jane as singing happy birthday to someone you don't care for. The worst of the night was the gal trying to sound like patsy cline.... OMG my head hurt! I had to turn her off! You know she's to be the first to go from the gals. And now we also know that Simon not only hates country music but most of the music from the sixties LOL!

Our first two that we think will go were the first two to sing last night
not very memorable
I think Asiah will make it to the finals
Mark my words
Now watch she is the first to go tonight
LOL

i didnt like her either^ geez she sounded the same for every song...i dont know who i like best tho..its a blah year..or maybe just too many seasons of watching it lol

[Dat1NdnGuy]

quite frankly I was just BORED!...lol. I liked the lil asian girl wit da big voice. That rocker chick needs more range, everything she sings sounds the SAME, I couldnt even understand most o' da song she was singin.

[NDNKIDZ]

Well the women sang and what the hell is up with these olllllld ballads and creaky old songs
Who ever is helping them pick songs need to be fired!
But there were a few standouts
Alaina the 16 yr old from Tulsa and A'siah who I love her voice
The rocker chick Amanda
And Carly the irish chick

I wish they would not have a genre to pick from just let them sing..lol i know 60's is broad but dang...most of the these kids think 60's is 100 years old lol..most have never heard the song they picked.and i know it helps show their musical range.. but you have to like a song to be able to do it justice..

I'm really liking that Danny Noriega. He's more than a touch femme, but he's got stage presence and an awesome voice! I also like the rocker dude this year and the guy with the dreads although he seems like he's on a permanent high LOL! But I love the guy's voice and his face and the way he sings. I know Randy said the guy hit that note all off key but I kinda think that's how the guy did it on purpose to more or less shake it up a bit. There's been singers before who've done that and it's ok as long as the off note is'nt one that hurts the ears. I'd like to see him get rid of the dreads though.

[Josiah]

Well the Guys sang tonight and there is going to be some stiff competition
Going to be hard to pick the best

[Josiah]

Top 24

Well they are not kidding it was a brutal show
They cut some good talent but I did not see any dogs this year
NO Sanjia!!!
But my guy did not make it through (Josiah)
But I have other favorites I think I like the Aussie guy and the short Asian girl with the biggg voice

[Josiah]

Wow I cant beleive that girl with the puppy did not make it through!
She had such talent well maybe not singing wise
LOL
and did you guys notice how bowlegged she was!

I am looking forward to next weeks show

[Blackbear]

Ok back on topic... the show tonight was excellent! And like Simon, I wanted to steal that puppy LOL!!! The plus sized model gal.. I loved her voice.. she's gonna be a contender in the top ten I predict. The Dolly Parton gal won't get into the final groupings but who knows... a country producer might snatch her up. She did have a cute voice with a nice tone to it.

Kiowakat- don't stop at grafton... go for the ferry ride back across to MO and there's all kinds of antique shops and preserves stands. That used to be one of my favorite things to do was just cruise the entire way up the river road... day or night.


NDNKIDZ- His name was Brian Mooney. He did'nt go to Wood River though.. he grew up in Elsah. I met him at LCCC where we were taking our art classes together. He was the same age as me. I have a copy of his obit from online. It was quite beautiful. And I understand people from all over came in for his funeral. He had a great many friends he made out there, not just the hometown favorites.

My husband loves that kid too. He wants to see him win because he's "following his dream" and doing what he can to achieve it which is admirable. Personally I think he's in a different world than the idol type... or should I say wrong genre.. but that kids' got some character and talent as well!

Back to him following his dream though. I thought I'd share this since I did'nt put it in memorials. A week ago I lost a good friend I made in college. This guy was something special I tell ya.. quit college with his best friend and they followed their dream which was to begin with, hitchhiking across the Americas. When they were done with that they worked to save up money and then hit Europe. They spent quite a few years in Ireland and France and would come home and visit.. just doing awesome all the time.
He liked to do charity work for charity organizations and that's what led him this past winter to Katmandu in Nepal to help build an orphanage. Last week he was found unconscious and without a pulse for no apparent reason out on the balcony of a resteraut he had been at and could not be revived. I STILL don't know what he passed from but he was only 38 and in great shape. His funeral was yesterday back in IL. He was from a small, probably one of the most beautiful little river road towns you'll ever see called Elsah. Kidz will know where I'm talking about since it's just north of Alton.

All I can say is he's gonna be extremely missed. He followed his dream and it took him around the world.. good for him!

sorry to hear about your friend BB i probably knew his name.. i knew alot of kids from wood river.. i will look in the town paper obits and see if i can find him..my daughter lives about 5 miles from elsah on top of the bluff.. just beautiful out there..
