American Idol - last 5 onwards

[Perpetua]

From aficionado's such as ourselves I hardly think they'd dare comment Dee.

I haven't dared pop in here because I didn't watch the prog until last night/this morning.

I still maintain it's not fair - last night James got yet another "best pop ballad of all time" but in this case made a pig's ear of it and I wish he'd been punished for having the nerve to think he could do any justice to it. Emotion got him votes, of course >

While Haley got a nondescript first number that was going to impress no-one no matter how well she sang it But how sensational was Rising Sun? Brilliant! My problem with Haley is her youth and shallowness, and I don't mean that in an insulting way. She needs to get a lot earthier in appearance and behaviour, but that might not go down well with AI voters ???

IMHO, Haley and Scotty should both have good solid careers when they grow up, they both have wonderful voices - Scotty will probably be happily confined to C&W.

Forgive me sounding so opinionated and judgemental

We'll forgive you Scylla cos we loves you.

Haley was absolutely fantastic with her second number, the best performance of the night for me.

[deesigner]

Totally forgiven Scylla, actually I'm in agreement with you.

I was a bit shocked at James, although I do have to say that's the first time he's performed below par.

I think all those left will have good solid careers, Haley is definately coming on in leaps and bounds and the right one (in my humble opinion) was booted

[Scylla]

I'm saying nothing except that I've seen this week's performances and results (including Lady GaGa as an almost-human ) and I'm waiting for the rest of you

I'm pretty gutted too, Haley should have gone in my humble opinion.

[Scylla]

I thought that the chunky C&W girl should be next to go (see? can't even remember her name properly after all this time Something like Laura.)

I did think that James was more style than substance and very reliant on the high-pitched wail.

Funny how we all see things differently isn't it? lauren is now my favourite

[Perpetua]

I don't care anymore . . . that season that Chris Daughtry went far too prematurely IMO . . . I lost interest.



Co-incidentally, just found this . . .

[Scylla]

I don't have a favourite, I don't think any of them are real idol material. That seems to happen every year - they always have a great bunch of contestants, just not one superstar.

Do you ever wonder how some current stars would fare on Idol? Lily Allen... Amy Winehouse? I could see Duffy being slaughtered by the panel! (I don't have a big pool of names to choose from cos I don't keep up with pop.)

Ooh Perpy, they're horrendous on tinny loud laptop speakers. He was good though and has done really well since, better than lots of winners

Not at all impressed! Would have like Lauren to win.
