American Idol anyone?

[SethFWF]

Who's watching? Interesting group, better than last year by far IMO. No one's really blowing me away, but no one really sucks either...should be a good competition.

Course there are a couple guys and gals that I don't much care for, they could go away tonight I hope...don't know many names yet. Long as the hotties don't go(the ones that can actually sing of course) and a couple of the rock style guys.

Discuss... ;D

[OG]

I'm watching and enjoying. I agree that the overall quality is better (singing and packaging), but I think the show lacks drama insofar as it's already clear who the best girl is and who the best guy is. The only drama, then, rests in who's going to get the votes. If last night's an indication--on the girl's side, anyway--anything can happen. I mean, that blond girl had no business being voted off so soon.

Throwin' it back to you.

Discus...

I agree about the blonde girl last night, the rock girl with the streaked hair should've went before her. Which is sad to say since I did like her a lot during the earlier rounds, but she's been blowing it recently IMO.

Most of the girls range from decent to awesome otherwise, the Irish girl being the best IMO(still can't recall names)...those Heart covers she's done were amazing. Then rooting a bit for the blonde from Mesa, AZ...partly for that and she has kind of a cool folksy vibe to her.

Far as the guys, figure that David Archuleta is the odds on favorite to win the whole thing right now...my wife thinks he's adorable. And he is pretty damn good, the girls will be voting for him like crazy. The guy named Micheal is good, been picking great songs from The Doors and Fleetwood Mac and nailing 'em. And the dude with the dreadlocks is interesting, another folk style that's pretty cool.

Guess the only guy that can leave anytime is the gay one, and not cuz he's gay...just isn't good IMO.

i've not watched too much this year. on tuesday night we go to a very interesting study on a book by randy alcorn, heaven. so once we get home it's half over.

we walk on wednesday night. we're gearing up for a 10k here in richmond with almost 30k folks participating! by the time we get home and showered it's half over.

thursday night we watch a program on speed tv called setup. one of our close friends went out to cali to film this program. he's the crew chief of a racing team.

so yeah, the little i've seen i've not been too impressed. it's all gone downhill the last few years. i'm sure i'll be more interested towards the end. somehow i've got listen so i can pick the winner. i have every year except for carrie underwood but that's only because i wanted bo to win.

[SethFWF]

Welcome back spydy! We need to get this board back up and running, I'm not helping though with little PC time these days.

Anyway, check out the final 12 if you can...think it's a better group than the last couple seasons. Some of them have more potential than they've shown I think, not a lot of great song choices going on...but when they're good, they're real good.

Hope all is well with you!

Yo Janet. I can say nothing about AI, but I do wanna say Happy Birthday to ya

[tageryche]

[Shark Black]

Happy Birthday Spydy!

[spyder]

thank you steve and brett!

alrighty...i like brooke white, david cook and jason castro.

[SethFWF]

Brook's really grown on me, she has a sweet innocence about her...and while I've never been a big 'blonde' guy, she's gorgeous IMO. Far as her singing, like her a lot...helps that she can sit at the piano and do her thing too.

Carly is pretty amazing too, still go back to the Heart covers as her best moments...very powerful voice. Amanda surprised me a bit the other night, she's got potential if she picks the right songs for her. Not real impressed with the other girls all that much, they can sing...but just not my thing. Although that Cristy girl looks great too, if she did more of a rock/country thing like Carrie Underwood did...I'd like her more.

Hernandez was the only guy I didn't care for much, so he's gone already. Rest of the dude's are all pretty good. Archileta did great when he picked the darker, mellower songs...blew it the other night with the upbeat one. He's not meant for that, but I think he'll rebound. Micheal is good and has always picked good songs, little on the boring side the other night though. Castro is still good, and Cook rocked out "Eleanor Rigby" real well...what band remade that song heavier in recent years? Then that Chikeze dude surprised me too, did real good on that song IMO.

Pretty good season, more rockers and better overall talent than the last couple years I think.

;D

[chimaera]

I´m with you Tagerÿche.. I´d rather stare into the wall for an entire day than spending fiften minutes watching this people, I don´t care if they got talent, they fucking reek with disgusting sugar. The whole thing makes me ill.

[spyder]

well i don't think it's quite THAT bad but it doesn't have the appeal to me as it's had in earlier years. okay, i've not watched it faithfully but from what little i've seen david archuleta needs to go. he's just a pain.

brooke white has the most talent of all the girls that remain and i'm just not sold on her although she'll probably win the whole thing to prove me wrong.

i still like jason castro but david cook and michael johns are really turning up the heat.

[SethFWF]

I think this is by far a better season than the last couple, since the Carrie Underwood one actually.

But I do think these kids could pick better songs, some are doing good and some could be so much better in the song choice category IMO. Even doing the Beatles theme for 2 weeks, I was a little disappointed in several of the choices.

Still like Carly for the big powerful voice, she would do well in a goth metal band I think. Goth metal from Ireland....yeah baby!!... ;D Guess folk metal would fit better from there.

Anyway, Brooke is still doing well...but she's one that could pick better songs. Very cool chick though. The other girls are alright, nothing great though.

David Cook is picking some good songs, liked the Chris Cornell version of the M. Jackson song...although I thought the Cornell version was very odd when it came out. Johns is also doing good, Castro needs to keep doing what he's doing despite the criticism. Would like to hear him do "Wish You Were Here" from Pink Floyd. Archileta hasn't picked a good song since the Genesis one, damn shame since he was doing real well...becoming very boring now.

I kinda liked that Chikeze dude when he did the bluesy Beatles songs, had a cool kinda James Brown vibe...but he's gone.
