American Idol 4/18-4/19: The Sounds of Seven Singers

What, no sing out? Good. Don’t need to hear that again.

Well fuck.

Buh bye, Ace. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.

“Hey, Taylor, tell America which group you think blows the most ass.” There’s really no way to choose without insulting somebody.

Did it look like Taylor kind of blew Pickler off when she tried to hug him?

Ah, it was 9:31 when You Had A Bad Day started. Thought it was over.

On to next week: Love songs. I will be forever in Chris’ camp if he sings NIN’s Closer.

And poor Rod couldn’t get her out of his face. Did you see the way she got all close when she was talking to him after his song. The rest of the gang was trying to get to him and she was planted smack dab in front of him, begin one of those close-talkers.

I only watched the last few minutes. Why was Simon so scowly (okay, scowlier) with Seacrest, when Seacrest asked him if he’d “take credit” for Ace going home?

It was a stooooopid thing to say, but Simon looked unusually tired of Ryan’s crap. Did anything happen between them earlier in the show?

I think that Simon had pegged Ace early on as a marketable, pretty boy front-runner and is kind of disappointed that the not-being-able-to-sing thing kind of matters after all.

He’s probably also not too happy with the male choices he’s got left. According to DialIdol, Taylor has consistently been the highest vote getter each week. Elliot surged above both Chris and Pickler this week as well. That’s got to be giving him hives.

Well now you are stuck. That poor young man will now be bereft without his AuntBeast fix.

OH YES :D.

Finally Ace is gone. Good stuff :D.

Whew! Finally!

I was a bit worried when they sent Ace to Chris and Paris’ group. I called most of the night for Chris and got through all the time. I tried for Paris several times but only got through once. I don’t think people think they sucked and didn’t vote for them (except for a few of you guys), I think people felt that had to save Elliot and Kellie (from her crappy performance) because they were in danger.

That bit of making someone chose the lower group is cruel. I think Taylor knew it was supposed to be a trick (how could Chris and Paris be in the bottom 3?) and decided to fake Ryan out.

At least the right person finally went home and we won’t have to listen to a smarmy falsetto love song next week.

Aw man, I ducked in here to see if there were further responses to the continuing discussion on last night’s show.

Can I put in a formal request for East-Coasters to use spoiler boxes, or to start a second thread for Wednesday’s shows? The show doesn’t air till two hours later on the West Coast.

Thanks.

I redialed quite a few times for Chris. I wish I could have cast negative votes against KP. Dang it!

But were they the bottom three? I don’t remember Ryan saying anything about a “bottom 3,” just a “safe” group and an “unsafe” group. Probably because it would be more dramatic and unexpected that way.

worked for me - I was totally faked out. But I was pissed that they made Taylor “choose.” Short of him responding “fuck you, Ryan” (which I was screaming at the TV), what he did was the next best thing.

You know, the first season I watched (3), the night of 7 had the same little game, with a group of three (remember the divas of Fantasia, LaToya, and Jennifer?) on each side and sending poor George Huff to pick which group he thought was safe. It was great, a way of showing America how wrongly they were voting. (whatever)

Then wasn’t it last years night of 7 where this did this again and Bo just walked up and stood in between the two groups? Did they play this same little game in season one and two?

It’s quickly growing old…

I was thinking that, but I thought near the end that Ryan did say bottom three.

I’m reasonably sure (as in, I’d put a moderate amount of money on it) that Ryan started out that section of the show by saying he was looking for ‘the bottom three.’

Yeah, I nailed that one, didn’t I? :smack:

Oh well, at least Ace is gone.

It was the bottom three.

Woo Freakin’ HOO – Chris in the bottom 2! My prayers will be answered when America sends his butt packin’ next week. And Elliott in the top 4 – tonight was utter bliss. YAY!!!

Bottom 3 one week doesn’t guarantee someone goes home the next week. How many times was Ace in the bottom 3 before tonight?
