American Idol

[HeatherJay]

I'm so glad John Stevens made it! He's just got this sweet, innocent thing about him that I love. Jasmine was really good, too.

Anyone have the list for the wild card show? I don't get to watch on Wednesday night because of church, so I have to catch up online the next day. But the wild card list isn't up on the AI website yet.

Love, Heather

"I'm not going to lie to these people just to make them feel good because that's patronizing. And it's patronizing to the people watching this show." - Simon Cowell

I'm fine with him being honest with how the performer are. but he should never comment on someone's appearance. never.
i thought he was okay until he did that.

 

[Miss Mayberry]

I agree. For instance, what he said to Clay last year. "You sing like a star, but you definitely don't look like it." or something like that.

 

[HeatherJay]

LOL, I love Simon. I guess you either love him or hate him, though.

 

[* kittie *]

and he told 2 girls that they needed to lose weight. hmm

 

[HeatherJay]

Well, Simon is an expert in an image based business. As much as I would love to live in a world where bigger people are considered just as beautiful as smaller people, it's simply not the case, especially in the pop star industry. Right or wrong, it's the celebrity reality in 9 out of 10 cases. He's only giving his honest, expert opinion. He knows what will sell and what won't. And, maybe things are starting to change...I hope so.

 

[ethereal hope]

I like watching Simon, too, but sometimes it seems that his comments might be tailored to keep up his witchy reputation.

Saying that a group is the worst ever in Idol history = honest

Saying that one could drive a truck through a big mouth = needlessly cruel. The other two judges called it well enough (the singer was screaming), so the extra barbs had to have been just for show.

 

[Subtotal]

Well, it's not like he was way off base with the comment. She really could open her mouth wide.

Yay, I finally found an American Idol thread!

I've been disappointed with this season, mostly because last season was just so wonderful. But there can never be another Clay Aiken, unfortunately. *sigh*

My favorites this season are Amy Adams, Jon Peter Lewis (back for Wild Card, whee!), John Stevens, Marque Lynche, and Layota. I can't wait until the Wild Card shoe. It's always the best.

I've always liked Simon, and I really don't mind his ... extremely blunt comments. Usually I'm thinking the same thing he is, and I think that's the goal he's aiming toward. He speaks on impulse. The first thing he notices about a contestant, he points out. Sometimes his comments are extremely off-base, but these contestants should be prepared for it if they have agreed to be on a show like this.

I missed this week's show. Was it pretty good?

 

[* kittie *]

clay aiken is great. but it's too bad that he has that "popstar image". maybe one day, he'll be respected, because he has an awesome voice. but...yeah.

 

[New Creation]

Hehe...lucky me, I married a very cute red headed guy. Maybe that's why I'm really pulling for the Sinatra kid.

Love, Heather

Yes, I see the red hair on your baby!!! I'm a redhead too, so I always pull for them...

so glad he made it to the next round!! I hope he goes back to the Sinatra thing- that Billy Joel song was a mess!!!

Is Jasmine the name of the Lauren Hill Hawaiian girl I like?

I remember Clay Aiken because the first time I heard him sing, I got goose bumps. He left me breathless. Amazing gift.

 

[Adam Kadamon]

The last two times I only watched the auditions and the final episodes. This year I'm watching it all XD. I missed who won this week though XP

Speaking of Clay...you know, his girlfriend (don't know if he is still dating her...they were together when he was doing AI at least...I don't know...I don't keep up with his news.) actually lived on the same street as my father. And Clay lived about 15 minutes from where I live. Odd...kind of... thinking we could have been in the mall at the same time or just a minute from each other or something.

Well...not really odd. He's just an average boy with a suberb voice. My friend Rene thinks I'm the luckiest person in the world. She's in love with Clay XP

 

[Subtotal]

I'm from NC too, and I know a lot of people who personally knew Clay. They all said he was one of the nicest, most genuine people they ever met too.

 

[Amour]

Hee, I'm the biggest Clay Aiken fan you'll ever meet. Honestly. I think he's coming back to preform on American Idol on the 17th of March, but when I saw him in concert a few days ago his voice was really hoarse. I wonder how he'll pull that one off.

I remember Clay Aiken because the first time I heard him sing, I got goose bumps.

I know! Me too. I've been crazy about him ever since. I feel bad, though, because when I first saw him I laughed because he was just ... not a person who looked like he could sing. Then he opened that mouth and suddenly his looks didn't matter. Now I think he's the best looking guy on the planet, so yeah. *laughs*

Speaking of Clay...you know, his girlfriend (don't know if he is still dating her...they were together when he was doing AI at least...I don't know...I don't keep up with his news.

Really!? He always said that he didn't have a girlfriend when he was on AI. Hmmm. I small conspiracy.

My friend Rene thinks I'm the luckiest person in the world.

Haha, you are the luckiest person in the world. I wish I lived in North Carolina.

Is Jasmine the name of the Lauren Hill Hawaiian girl I like?

Yes, I think she is.

 

[Adam Kadamon]

H


Really!? He always said that he didn't have a girlfriend when he was on AI. Hmmm. I small conspiracy.

Well...maybe it was after AI, then. I told you I've never really followed it. XP I know one time my dad told me they had camera crews, etc.. up there questioning her. The traffic was amazing.

Haha, you are the luckiest person in the world. I wish I lived in North Carolina.

No you don't -_-

 

[Amour]

Hm, I haven't heard anything about Clay's previous girlfriends, but he said he didn't have any during the duration of American Idol. If it was a girlfriend from before, I bet that'd be weird, wouldn't it? I can't imagine having a guy I know become an over-night sensation. It's wild.

No you don't -_-

Teehee. I don't see why not! What's so bad about it up there?
