you know who i CAN'T stand on American Idol.....

this is a less than cosmic topic, but it’s also a bbq topic…

I can’t stand that Justin guy on American Idol. ANNOYING AS HELL…
it’s one thing to be charismatic and happy and all, but he seems to be doing it to the extreme. He makes me feel dizzy with all the hair shaking. i’m waiting for his head to fall off …

i just HAD to get that out…

oh please!!! I am so happy to hear this!! His head shake (to move that mass of hair) is a standard move that I am sick of seeing!!
His voice isn’t as strong as tamyra or kelly but he seems to be so popular.
The day he had to stand for being one of the people with the least votes was such a happy time for me. I am sure that he is great at what he is doing, but he doesn’t do it for me.

And please don’t do the head shake~wink~ smile again. The first time (or two maybe) it looked like he was having fun and that was fine but enough!!!

Thank you Vivian for knowing this!!!

I think Paula Abdul is sort of a tool. I wish we could vote her off.

Viva Simon.

Seriously, why does everyone boo this guy? I find myself commenting on the performances (oh, jeez I just realized how pathetic I really am), and-- 9 times out of 10-- Simon ends up saying the exact same thing. Just because he talks his shit on national television and I do mine in my living room makes him an asshole?

Or maybe we’re both assholes. I can live with that.

Happy, who really needs to get out more

In the Friedo household he is called Sideshow Bob.

He is also called that in the blur household.

I understand why Justin-haters feel as they do.

But the fact remains, the kid has what it takes. He’s exquisitely beautiful (the hair is debatable, I’m talking about his chiseled face and perfect skin and gleaming teeth and deadly eyes, with which he fucks the women of America), he can sing, and he has that which defies definition: charisma. It’s just a thing, and ya know it when you see it. He’s got it.

I get all tingly when I watch him, even while being a bit fed up with him.

Personally, I see nothing redeeming in his looks, but it’s all subjective, and Stoid’s opinion is definitely in the majority, judging from all of the posts in the American Idol message boards. It’s hard for me to be entirely objective about him, since I really like Kelly, but it seems to me like he’s slipping a little–like he peaked really early in the contest or something. No matter. The next few rounds should certainly be interesting!

Yeah, Justin seems like the most talented one there. He seems natural on the stage, and like he is having fun up there.

Kelly and Tamyra seem to enjoy their time on stage. Justin has a look about him and he does have that smile that charms but I really think that his performance has been the exact same every time. I was wondering if maybe I couldn’t hear any of the songs whether they would ever look any different?
I agree that he peaked already.
Even if that boy gets kicked off he will have plenty of opportunities from his exposure on this show.

I used to LOVE Justin and now he makes me wretch. Although I was kinda surprised to hear that he was related to Samuel Jackson! :eek:

Paula Abdul is a talentless troll doll.

That is all.

He’s fuckin Tom Jones with Sideshow Bob hair…

ARGH!

And on a lighter note, and just a curious one…I know he’s of mixed race, but (I’m sorry I just don’t know) but is that his REAL dad that they showed or was that his step dad? Doesn’t matter as I hate him.

And why, why why did they vote off my poor sick Christina–she’s beautiful w/ a nice voice…

Only thing that I really noticed about Sideshow J when they showed him up really close is that his nose is POINTY! You could kill a man with that thing. Don’t get on his bad side or you might just get impaled.

All I’m gonna say is he makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl when he does that thing he does:)

My guess on why Christina got voted off is people got tired of her bad vibratto (which Paula commented on) and the fact (IMO) that sometimes she sings slightly off-key. Plus she isn’t as strong as Tamyra or Kelly and she doesn’t appeal to the same audience as Nikki. She’s basically a weaker bersion of Tamyra and Kelly, so she got fewer votes.

And really, one bad performance can (nearly, in some cases) get you kicked off the show.

Justin is the WORST! Ugh. I want to wring his neck when he does his patented “head cock and smile” move. He’s so cheesy.

I like Tamyra the best. I think she’s a fabulous pop singer, has great style and is a naturally talented performer.

I have to say that Tamyra’s appeal escapes me. She seems competent, but nothing to write home about. I keep looking for why, I keep not seeing it.
