American Idol Fan Club

[Toughy]

I haven't watched Idol except for the auditions for years. However this year I have been watching........this year has the most talent ever on the show. I am glad they finally got Steven Tyler to quit hitting on the young 'uns.......laughin...........Jennifer is great just to look at and get a glimpse of her shoes and outfits when they introduce the judges.

Pia is a second rate lounge singer..........I have visions of the piano bar at the Kansas City Marriott and her doing the singing. Glad she is gone.

The Rod Stewart wanna be needs to go next......Paul is it???

Jacob.....the black guy with the incredible voice I think.......they damn sure are trying to butch him up from the auditions.........no screaming queens on Idol.

Stefano with the bedroom eyes has the least talent and should not be there.

That little shit kicker is beyond hot and will be the next great country star........he will probably win. He is probably already in the studio cutting his first CD.

Rocker boy is growing on me.

I like the girl country singer who did Joplin the other night........she is a contender.

that's my 2 cents on Idol so far.............

I'm glad to see that some people weren't surprised to see pia go. I liked her but really felt her performance and Jacobs were the weakest. From there i didn't know who would be the third.

I think Paul will be back in the bottom three but he actually did have a good performance this week and got lucky. I'm really not sure who is my favorite.

I like scotty because I'm envious of his low voice ... I would kill for it.

Probably the two girls left would be my favorites!

I think the boys will begin to fall now but it's really up to who has the weakest performance that week.

I think stefano, paul, and jacob will be the next three just not sure what order

[JakeTulane]

All I can say is..

Pia??? Gone??? Seriously??

I am now in mourning.

That is all.

Pia has already signed a contract with Interscope Records.

Yippieeeeeeee!!!

OMG i am so happy now. Thank you for sharing this what i believe to be "Wonderful" news. Yes everyone is allowed to disagree with me but i am sticking to the word wonderful when it comes to Pia. *

*Does happy dance*

Good for her! In your face(s) America...Yep, it was a matter of time before she'd get signed. She'll be famous and will do well. I can't wait for her cd to come out.

The only other folks on Idol (whether they won Idol or not) that I bought their cd's were:

Kelly Clarkson
Clay Aiken
Chris Daughtry

And adding to that list (whenever the cd is released)

Pia Toscano

I say "Good for Pia!!!!"

She is much more memorable than Smurf McDonald.....dear GOD! He MUST be next!!!! And SHOULD have been this last week! He is truly heinous.


Just sayin'.....

[Scorp]

YES, YES, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DIVA!!! Say More, say more!...He better be NEXT or else!!! I can't take that idiotic buffoon anymore!!!

She was also on The Tonight Show on Friday night and sang and was incredible. What a voice!!


Yep I agree. Either Stephano or Paul this week.

[musicman]

I love Casey, I think he is quite possibly the most talented one there. He not only can play the bass like no other but his vocal ability is marvelous.

I love Lauren and Haley as well. Give me that growl, smoke two packs of smokes a day vocals and you have me melting.

I think Jacob and Paul have over stayed their welcome on the show.

i think if Casey, Lauren, Haley, or the Scotty were to get the boot Interscope would scoop them up. I'm not sure if Interscope has the rights to the top 10. I can tell you that the producer who helps the contestants each week isn't there to just help through the week. He is there to pick up the pieces as they fall (hence Pia was picked up).

Being in the industry i have my thoughts on the whole Idol concept. i think when you leave "big" decisions to the public it is a mistake. I think one runs into issues like with Pia. When you have websites geared to voting for the underdogs year after year and knocking out true talent there is a problem.

I also believe and have said from the beginning that it is "fixed" They know what makes for good programing and "good TV".

It is a business and business is in it to make money and when a label has to put out millions to make a number one song a hit on the charts they need to know they will recoup that money. You are not going to put that kind of money ESPECIALLY in these economical times into someone that is not going to be able to sell enough so the labels recoup what they put into them.

Just my two Canadian cents.

[Toughy]

There will be several cd's out of this group on Idol........you can bet on it...........

[Bella~Vita]

I can't get threw ... ughhhhhhhhhh

[~Bo]

I know. Why did they have to put Paul first???? Acccckkkk!!!!

I'd say your two cents are worth 2 loonies, Musicman.

I really really REALLY do not like Jacob. He is smarmy and icky and makes my skin crawl.

Paul makes me smile.

Lauren is my fave of the girls but I think she made a huge mistake picking a Miley song.

Casey isn't my cuppa tea but he is very talented.

I have a soft spot for James because of the whole pushing through the Tourette's.

Scotty made me sad by not singing the first choice. I love love love that song and think it would have showcased his talent in a different way. Plus (shhhh) I'm not that fond of that particular song that he sang.

I don't vote because of my hours but I would vote for Scotty over and over and over. hee. I may have a crush.

Hailey is super talented.

And I was pleasantly surprised by Stephano--although I thought he was practicing his exit song.

[The Oopster]

I think Lauren, scotty, and james are the three safest ones this week.

I would be very surprised if Paul and Stefano weren't in the bottom three.

I really like Haley but her performance tonight could put her in the bottom however she may get votes because she is only one of two girls left.

I really like Casey but I don't hink his performance tonight came over the tv like it may have in real life.

I really haven't liked Jacob as much as in the auditions but tonights performance may have saved him from the bottom.

[Gemme]

Jackob sure was a bit cowed tonight, wasn't he? I'm glad he was called out for his remark in the package last week. I don't care for him at all.

I missed Paul and Lauren's performances. I'm only upset about one of those. Guess which one?

I love Casey, but I'm worried about him with that song choice. Not picking easily recognizable songs has been the downfall of many contestants. He would have done Phil Collins so well too. Pity.

Haley's on a downward spiral for me. I just care less and less for her. She relies too much on the growl. Show me something more.

Scotty is well, Scotty. He'll have a record contract whether he wins or not. He's not my favorite or anywhere near my favorite, but I do recognize the talent that's there. The way he holds the mic really gets on my nerves though. I don't know why; it just does.

Stefano did well tonight, but his pipes are just not as strong as most of the others. He's in a losing battle, though her performed well tonight.

James really pushed it tonight. There's a fine line between standing one's ground on artistic integrity and dissing those helping you. He's toeing it. I did like his song though I worry that folks will remember the guitar solo more than his vocals. I think he'll get through but I hope he's not headed down the road to Cockyville.

[RiverBoi]

Hmmm. I am thinking that either Jacob or Haley will go home tonight. Jacob acted like a 3 year old pouting on TV last night IMO. I found it rather off putting honestly.

I'm glad other people saw that! I was say he, Jacob, is the one up there that hasn't seemed to grown at all, just gone backwards.

The thing I like about stefano is he listens to what they say and atleast uses the information to fight back. Although I have to say last night I was thinking he looks better when he sings with his eyes closed .... his one eye was weird looking!
