LaKisha, Melinda, LaKisha, Melinda, LaKisha, Melinda…
Chris Sligh.
For those who are interested, here is a link to the dialidol results. Dialidol, American Idol 2007
The Vote for the Worst site was down most of the evening, so it’s not clear whether their advice to vote for Antonella had any impact on the results. I was amazed to see her in second place. Would her beauty have an impact on voters? I don’t see how her singing tonight could have done so.
I’m gonna say what I think first, then go back and read today’s replies…
Just so I’m not influenced by previous replies, you see? (honestly) Fair enough?
Tonight was EVEN WORSE than the guys. Almost every single girl sang some 30-40 year old BORING-ASS song.
Some idiot producer, around song 3, cranked the REVERB TO ELEVEN!!! (ELEVEN Eleven eleven) Every damn girl after that was singing at the other end of a fucking tunnel wrapped in springs, from inside a tin can. Fucking awful. I know reverb. My guitar amp has the same setting: Way Too Much Goddam Reverb. Fuck! What too much reverb does is mask the voice and/or guitar. It makes bad singers sound a little better, and it makes good singers sound like they’re down a well. So yeah, that sucked.
That said, I give the first girl a 6, the last girl a 10, and the rest between 0 and 3.
At this point, I feel that Blake is a solid 9, or number 2, behind the last girl… What was her name again (LaKisha?)? The fat black one with the Letterman teeth?
I’m predicting right now that Blake and her are the top two.
EVERYBODY else pretty much sucks IMNSHO.
I think the talent pool for AI has run out.
OK, after reading the rest, I stand by what I said, but of course I did forget Backup Singer Girl.
I’ll Give her an 8.9… right behind Blake… Should be top three.
OK, that wasn’t even funny.
Did you see the looks of the girls who realized they are probably just good and likeable enough that they will have to hang around and be humiliated week after week by Lakisha and Melinda? I almost feel bad for them.
It’s Lakisha’s to lose, and the only person who comes close is Melinda. For the girls, you’ve then got Stephanie, Sabrina and Jordin. On the guys’ side, you’ve got Brandon in there somewhere with the last three ladies I listed, and maybe AJ. Chris Sligh and Blake I suppose fit in there somewhere, and the rest are just sorry they eliminate so few each week.
Except for the fact that someone really good is likely to get voted off way too early, this season is almost not worth watching.
Antonella was Awful. I am glad about that, because I do not like the Jersey girls.
I liked very much: LaKisha, Melinda, Sabrina, Jordin and Stephanie.
Leslie Hunt… Hm… I don’t think she’ll be there too long. Her favourite female artists are: Bjork, Aretha Franklin, Feist, Nina Simone, Fiona Apple, Joni Michell. I think that’s an unusual list for American Idol.
I am disturbed by how many, including Ms. Hunt, are Michael Jackson fans.
Thanking god sure seems to be a standard answer on the Q&A section for the contestants.
Edited: I do not like the Jersey girls.
Am I the only one who loved Nicole? I thought her performance was really bizarre, manic, and awesome. So fun. Blew the horrible everyshowtune girls away.
Also loved Melinda, Sabrina, and Jordin. Is it just me or was Lakisha waaaaaay over-pimped? I mean, she was pretty good, but no better IMO than any of the girls I just mentioned.
It really sucks for those of us outside of the solipsistic Eastern time zone who check into this thread only to read page after page of “She looks awful!” or “That was awesome!”
If you want to treat this thread like a text chat, do it on your cellphones. Otherwise, please do the rest of us a favor and post in complete sentences with names and song titles; only a handful of you are “chatting” in real time, and the rest of us are reading this and responding as if it were a normal thread.
Your lists sound much like mine. I thought the gals were, overall, far superior to the boys; there were four or five I’d vote for, as opposed to only one on Guy Night.
Yeah, because you can’t resist watching the thread before you see the show?
Whachoo talkin’ 'bout Willis?
edit: I’m pretty most of us are in Central, where the Reader is located… so Boo f’ing Hoo. I skipped it, then went back, why can’t you?
Um . . . the show isn’t on in the West Coast until 11pm Eastern time–so by the time I’ve watched the show, this thread is at least 3 hours old. So all the real time chatting is totally nonsensical.
I think you have it backwards, or else you’d understand the math.
I’m with lissener on that. I just got a chance to watch the show on the DVR, and the comments in the thread here made no sense for anyone who didn’t watch it in real time.
Just put the name of the singer you’re talking about in your post.
I also agree with lissener. I’m actually in the Eastern time zone and read this just after the performances, and I still couldn’t tell who they were talking about half the time. Names would really help, people.
I try to put names in my posts but sometimes I just don’t know 'em. Sorry 'bout that.
I will continue to try to put names in my posts but I I don’t know the name, I’m not gonna not post. Sorry again.
Pacific here and I agree. How is ‘that was awful’ supposed to be a remark any non-realtime reader can make sense of? If you don’t know the name, at least say Number Three so we’ll have a vague idea of who you’re talking about.
Reading back-- I don’t know what the hell you are all complaining about. Only a very few posts do not have names and those posts are surrounded by posts with either names, descriptions of the singer or the title of the song in question.
I take back both my sorries.
You were following realtime so it makes sense to you.
I didn’t see or hear anything last night that I ever want to see or hear again. Except Lakisha.
You’re spot on with this. Lakisha’s tops but these other girls are pretty great too. The rest can just go home soon, except maybe Gina. I kind of like her, too. Lakisha was just head and shoulders above the rest. I loved her dress as well. I’d rank Melinda second, then Sabrina, Stephanie, and Jordin. I will also admit to being totally wrong about thinking the guys would be better than the girls. The girls kicked ass and took names. I just didn’t know who many of them were before. I’d like to see Antonella and either Amy or Alaina go home tonight. For the guys probably Paul and … I don’t know. I think I’ve repressed the memories from Tuesday’s show it was so bad.
As for the complaints about the real-time stuff in the thread, I can totally understand where people are coming from, but the AI threads have been like this for a long time and I’m pretty much used to it. I personally don’t like to watch and post at the same time, and would rather come to the thread to find everyone’s analysis in one post but alas, 'tis not meant to be, I guess. Well, there are a few who do a full show analysis, but not many.
Anyway, I probably won’t be watching tonight. Nay, let me correct that: I will not be watching tonight. I’m not giving up Earl and The Office for an hour-long results show.
I checked the dialidol.com site and wasn’t surprised to see Lakisha far ahead of everyone else. What DID surprise me was that Sundance Head was the leader for the men. I like the guy and am rooting for him, but he hasn’t had a good performance since his audition.
