I really think it was the microphone last night, not Ricky. He appeared to be singing, but there was no sound, then suddenly the sound came on in the middle of his phrase. Pretty sure it was a technical screw up (live TV and all), so that’s why the judges didn’t say anything.
I noticed his missed cue, too, but I thought it was his fault, not a technical error. I didn’t tape it, so I can’t go back and check, but I remember thinking when he didn’t start singing right away that he was just standing there, waiting for the next beat to jump in on, having completely missed the first line of the song. Anyone with it taped wanna check?
Wow, Vanessa’s gone. I didn’t expect her to get booted over Julia. She wasn’t great last night, but I didn’t think she deserved to be the first to go. I can’t imagine still being able to perform after being the first to go.
I also can’t imagine I’m going to be this enthusiastic for American Idol for much longer. Is only one going to get kicked off each week? I don’t think I can take 10 more weeks of this.
I finally figured out why I don’t like Kimberley Caldwell: She is Kathie Lee Gifford reincarnated! Look at those lips! They’re Kathie Lee’s lips. Look at that perfectly made up little plastic face. It’s Kathie Lee’s face. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had an old NFL has-been and two annoying children socked away somewhere! Let’s just call Regis and sign her up to sit in until Kelly Ripa gets out of the nursery. . . again! (Besides, her mother’s eyebrows are scarey!)
Oh, good Gods–you’re right! I knew there was something about that girl that just wasn’t right. And if they should ever meet? May all that is good and holy help us, this may be a sign of the end of times–two of them at once!<shudder>
I’m pissed off. I don’t think it was Vanessa’s fault, I think a lot of people weren’t paying attention and thought that stupid, mean, scripted line she gave was form her. I think they sabotaged her.
Damn. julia blows
What did she say, may I ask? I was de-wallpapering during the show, so I missed that.
She called Ryan a monkey, something to that affect, supposedly it was in the script. Hopefully the writers won’t try this stunt again. It cost Vanessa being booted. Ryan tried explaining this after the commercial, but I think not too many people saw it, as it was time to rush to the bathroom, rush to the kitchen to get something to eat or channel surf while the commercial. I guess when people got back they missed that part.
Ah, ok. Yeah I’m reading about it over at TWOP now.
So I see that she and non-blonde Kimberly were in the bottom three. Who was the third?
This show lost me. 2 hours is just too long with commercials between every fricking contestant. Clay will and should win; call me when it’s his turn to sing.
Julia Damotto (or however she spells her name).
Just checked my tape of the show and it does appear that he missed his cue. Doesn’t look like any technical error.
