Three dozen contestants remain, but that number will quickly be whittled down to one dozen.
One last pimping: If you want to join in the SDMB American Idol Top 36 Pool but haven’t signed up yet, you’d better get in soon. The first round of picks has to be in before the Wednesday results show begins.
I like that they’re doing it differently for a change.
Not that I’ll be voting.
For og’s sake. Will Paula ever show up NOT tanked?
I kind of like this Jackie, but I’m probably the only one who does.
Jackie was OK, but the Minnie Mouse outfit sucked.
She’s a good performer. That’s a hard song with the tongue twisting vocals.
Jackie Tohn: They keep talking about her personality, but it’s not “Personality Idol”. Her vocals were not good. I did enjoy the banter with Randy after the song though. A large black man who wears spandex in the 80s cannot expect to live that down.
I hate her personality more than Tatiana’s. And that’s a high bar to get over.
I like Jackie, in a VFTW sense. She’s fun and different and they would have no idea how to market her.
Did you hear the crowd cheer for Tatiana? Ewwww.
I like him. Very nice beginning.
He needs to move the mic back a little, but he has a good voice.
This Ricky guy isn’t bad.
Ricky must be a Zen Master because he has no soul.
Ricky Braddy
Have we ever seen this guy before?
Boring song. Stupid hair. Annoying falsetto. Not blowing me away.
For youuuuuuEWWWW
(eww.)
Why are the judges gushing so much over this knob. That was exceptionally mediocre.
Do we have to meet everybody’s fucking parents for the next three weeks?
And for those who want to play along at home, it looks like VFTW now has the correct song list (well, nearly so):
Tatiana Del Toro - Whitney Houston “Saving All My Love For You”
Stevie Wright - Taylor Swift “Love Story”
Anne Marie Boskovich - “Natural Woman”
Jackie Tohn - Elvis -”Little Less Conversation”
Casey Carlson - Police -”Every Little Thing She Does is Magic”
Alexis Grace - Aretha Franklin “Never Loved a Man”
Anoop Desai - Monica “Angel of Mine”
Michael Sarver - Gavin Degraw “I Don’t Wanna Be”
Stephen Fowler- Michael Jackson “Rock With You”
Danny Gokey - Mariah Carey “Hero”
Ricky Braddy - Donny Hathaway “A Song For You”
Brent Keith - Some Country Song
I want to make popcorn for Tatiana’s song. And then throw it at my TV. Especially when she goes for the big finish; it’s going to be comedy gold.
Alexis is the best so far.
