I'll see it later tonight!

Asta!!

ShaniFaye · 02-28-2005, 06:15 PM

K buddy....you will agree....he blew them ALL away tonite

even Simon said so

K-Wise · 02-28-2005, 06:19 PM

I'm rootin for the rockers! It's about fuckin time! So Constantine didn't do great today or what?

Asta!!

ShaniFaye · 02-28-2005, 06:21 PM

He did much better this week, but he did Hard to Handle by the Black Crows and decided to scream a little in it lol

I think he'll advance...hope he does I want to see it come down to Bo and Constantine

K-Wise · 02-28-2005, 06:30 PM

I fuckin love that song! I'm a little bitter about hearing anyone other that Chris Robinson singin it though

I remember when Const was worried he wasn't gonna make it cause Bo made it...why would they want one rocker against everyone else when they can have 2 battle it out?

They better fuckin make it to the big stage!

Asta!!

K-Wise · 02-28-2005, 08:08 PM

Okay just watched it

. I did <b>NOT</b> like what they did to David. Dammit he was fantastic and they shitted on him. The other guy who sang Al Green was great too..he had great control. Those 2 are probably going home too which sux cause I thought they did a great job. Anwar I did NOT like as much as the judges. I thought most of the performance was rather boring. He has a great voice it was just boring...until the end. Randy told the one guy "I was looking for that one note or run." Dammit theres more to singing than just a damn note..like an overall performance. To me thats all Anwars was..was one note. Mario I of course love him he's just got it....Scott too..among others...I was nervous when I noticed Federov was singing FOREIGNER! Hard band to sing but he did great...now the rockers..

Constantine...wow..I really thought he fucked the song up pretty bad

But it's Chris Robinson so I'm forgiving. The screaming wasn't very authentic but not everyone can do that. But I agree with what Simon said about any bar, with any band, I could have gone up there and did what he did and I'm not that good. I hope they forgive him though cause I wanna see more of him.

Bo...FUCK YEAH! ALLMANS! He fuckin brought it! CHEAH! Definitely authentic. He's a real rocker. I thought he was gonna break the mic stand on his knee at the end I was waiting for it I was like "BREAK IT DUDE FUCKIN BREAK IT!" but he didn't

. That woulda been perfect. I don't think they woulda got mad if he did.

They really got their work cut out for them picking this year as far as the guys are concerned..they're just all so talented. I HATE how they're doing it this year though...because they're seperating the boys and girls and they're eliminating guys that sing better than some of the girls that they're keeping dammit!! HUGE FLAW there. Oh well nothing ya can do about it.

Asta!!

Lockjaw · 02-28-2005, 09:01 PM

Watched this tonight and yes that Bo guy was damn good. I don't think he'll win because I'm betting when it gets to the top 10 he will have problems keeping things up to par but he's actually a good singer. That is something a lot of rockers don't have they just sing really loudly but not well. Bo has it but Constantine is an example of the rocker that sings loudly but not particularly well.

K-Wise · 02-28-2005, 09:16 PM

Yeah it's clear as soon as you hear Bo sing who is the truer, better rocker of the 2. Right away you notice his tone..he actually has it. Const doesn't really have it...he relies on other stuff. And of course they're gonna prolly fuck Bo over once he makes it to the big stage and they make him sing R&B & Soul, Big Band, etc. and claim he can't "adapt" or some bullshit but I think he can...and I think he will and if they like him then as much as they like him now...they're gonna love it. I think he has the ability to bring it. He's got more experiance and knows his voice.

Asta!!

Amnesia620 · 02-28-2005, 09:17 PM

I am not one for reality shows. However, the American version of American Idol, this season, has actually proved entertaining. I don't watch it for the rejection, or who sucks. I'm more interested in those that are strong, confident, unique and vocally well-trained.
In any catagory, people with true talent impresses, amazes and inspires me.

Your world becomes a sunny place when you look on the bright side of things.

K-Wise · 03-01-2005, 05:29 AM

^ Being a vocalist myself...It is impossible for me to NOT notice when someone sucks..especially when they're supposed to be some of the best in America. It also makes me appreciate those that REALLY have it more too...because I actually know more about WHY they have it as opposed to those who don't know anything about it but just like the way they sound. It's a big difference because those kind of people don't notice a wrong note, bad pitch, flat tone, etc. I pick it up immediately and I don't even know how to read music. Even if I haven't heard the song before sometimes I can just tell "Hmm something just doesn't sound right" The judges throw the words "key" "notes" and "pitch" around A LOT....Especially "pitch" and they don't even know what the words mean. I'll hear Randy complain about pitch to one guy and the guy he's praising is actually the one that is pitchy. Simon throws "wrong key" when really it's in the right key but just an octive lower or higher. Stuff like that.

Asta!!

hehehe lets get technical why dont we.....he was doing chris robinson's version

did ya'll see where Bo was talking about the company he worked for? They wanted him to quit and when he wouldnt they FIRED him for being on AI? geez

thales · 03-01-2005, 06:13 AM

"And of course they're gonna prolly fuck Bo over once he makes it to the big stage and they make him sing R&B & Soul, Big Band, etc. and claim he can't "adapt" or some bullshit but I think he can...and I think he will and if they like him then as much as they like him now...they're gonna love it. I think he has the ability to bring it. He's got more experiance and knows his voice."

I couldn't agree more. Just from the bit we've heard thus far, I believe Bo has the ability to cross-over to both R&B and Country fairly easily. I think Showtunes or Barry Manilow-type songs will give him the most problem.

I think Constantine sucks vocally, but he's definitely the favorite of every woman watching over the age of 28 (although Bo may have won some of them over last night).

At this point, the competitions seems to be between Bo and Mario. It'll be interesting to see whether Mario can go outside of his disco saftey zone. I'm certain he'll do will with the showtune and pop formats, but Country may be problematic for him. And if Bo and Constantine stay in for a while, who knows, maybe they'll have a hard rock format one night? I'll bet Mario can't pull that off very convincingly.

What I fear is the "Show Choir"-like singing and dancing numbers that they make everyone do at the beginning of the finals. I reeeaaaallllyy do not want to see Bo wave his hands over his head singing "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius..." Yikes.

ShaniFaye · 03-01-2005, 06:27 AM

hehehe I think Bo doing age of aquarius would be great....I bet he could pull it off unlike Constantine

The one I fear for Bo is something like gloria estefan nite!!!!

Lockjaw · 03-01-2005, 08:05 AM

I've already got my top 3-4 guys picked out.
It's going to be Bo,Anwar,Mario, and probably that Bubba looking guy or Vladimir or whatever the hell his name is.
Everybody else while decent just are IMO a level below those guys. But even still they probably should have a top 10 make up of like 6-7 guys compared to 3-4 girls because the females just haven't impressed at all thus far. I'll record it tonight so hopefully I can hear some good female singing but I just have this feeling it's going to be another all male final at the end of the season just like season two. And while I think Bo will be the underdog I think he'll do well outside of the contest.

They have targeted Fantasia mostly to the urban audience(I hear her stuff on the urban stations here in Dallas all the time but never on the Top 40 stations). So maybe they will do the same with Bo and get him all nice and packaged up and put on some rock stations. He can sing better than just about every lead man in any significant rock ensamble that I can think of that's out right now.

Grancey · 03-01-2005, 09:42 AM

I think Bo is great and definitely at the top of my list and not just because he is a fellow Alabamian. And I would like to see a "rocker" win, but it's not going to happen. I feel certain that he will get a recording contract after AI and be very successful. I still think Carrie will win. She's got "it".

I'd think he couldn't but see this is where I hate the judges and America. They don't expect Mario to fuckin adapt. They want him to sing everything just like he's been singing it. They expect Bo and Constantine to adapt...because they're not R&B. If you're and R&B or soul/gospel singer on that show it doesn't matter what genre you sing yer always "terrific!" even if you don't sound like a convicing crooner, rocker, country, etc. singer. And just like all the other 3 American Idols, this next one is gonna be an R&B/Soul/Gospel singer. I'd be willing to put money on it.

Asta!!

K-Wise · 03-03-2005, 05:22 PM

Okay I'm officially pissed!

I just saw the results show (I had it Tivo'd) None of the guys who went home deserved to leave! They both sang great. David especially he was excellent. They better bring his ass back during the wild card round this year. They also asked Joe what he felt he did wrong and he simply said "Nothing" And he's right. The guy who sang "All Night Long" should have gone home. And I'm a little torn on Constantine as well...I love the guy but he did not perform as well as the 2 that left.

Aloha left. I'm also really pissed off at that. Her performance was damn near flawless and they had to shit all over her like they did everyone else that left. They don't know what the fuck they are talking about. I wish America didn't hold their opinions so high. They said she was bad and America actually fucking believed it. I bet before they even said anything America thought she did great. I also hope they bring her back in the Wildcard round as well. From the girls the 16 yr old should have gone instead of Aloha. She's just not very good. She gave 2 bad performances already she should be home.

This really fuckin sux.

Asta!!

thales · 03-04-2005, 12:58 PM

I don't think I would go so far as to say "I'm pissed" or "this really fucking sux" (it is just America Idol after all), but David was certainly a surprise. That said, I looked at David's performance right after the show and was able to confirm that it did in fact suck ass. Very very off pitch until he was able to put some power behind it...oh well, I bet he'll comeback as a wild card (assuming they have include that inthe format this year).

Re Joe: Look he didn't have a chance from the beginning. He was definitely not going to make the top 6 guys. The only question was whether he was going to go this week or next week. He reminds me of an updated version of an old Vegas singer...does anyone here remember a couple from the 70s talk show circuit named Steve Lawrence (sang with Edie Gorme)? Joe is a 21st century Steve Lawrence as far as I am concerned.

You're wrong about the girls. They sucked. Did others suck more? Yes. But those that did suck more will likely go next week.

Here's the thing that made me respect Joe. After he said "Nothing", he said that he didn't receive a lot of airtime prior to the semi-finals. That is the thru-line for everyone voted off thus far (except David). Seven of the eight people voted off thus far were rarely if ever mentioned in prior shows, while that no-talant freak Makalah Gordon got a huge amount of screen time. I guarantee you that is why she is still in the competition.

My best guess for next week's eliminations...

Guys: Travis Tucker and Anthony Federov will be the next to go. However,if either one of them shine and Constantine really sucks, then Constantine will be next to go...I don't know if the horny housewives will be able to keep Constantine on the show...especially if the androgenous-loving tweenies vote for Federov in droves. So it's one of those three.

Girls: Janay Castine and Lindsey Cardinale

My best guess for the final three (so far):

Mario Vasquez, Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood

Hmmm... I'm fairly impressed with Mikalah. Voice isn't perfect, but she's fearless and like her or not, she was dead on this week.

-Ever- · 03-05-2005, 12:57 AM

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but freakin Constantine was on the dating-show Elimidate. My girlfriend is watching it right now and called me over when she recognized him. What a goof

K-Wise · 03-05-2005, 04:27 PM

^ Yer fuckin kidding me! Dammit I wish I coulda seen that. So he got eliminated?

Asta!!

jhkayakr · 03-06-2005, 07:01 AM

That show sucks

K-Wise · 03-07-2005, 08:11 PM

Voted for Scott Savol first cause I felt like he needed it. Then voted for Bo second cause he's the shit.

I hate to say it but of the ones left in the guys...probably Constantine should go. Definitely that Travis guy should go...he's all flash and no substance. I feel the people that need to be worried this time around are Scott (I thought he did great though), Constantine, and Travis..MAYBE Federov too. Constantine has a big audience though so I don't think he'll go which is why I think Scott might. That would suck but damn near all the guys they have deserve to go to the big show.

Kinda makes me wonder if they'll actually have a wildcard round this year because the way they're voting them off it'd be a REALLY small wild card round unless they want to basically just bring everyone who's left back again. Confusing

Asta!!

0energy0 · 03-07-2005, 09:10 PM

anwar is good. i think he is going to win. constantine was off on some parts of his song.

ShaniFaye · 03-08-2005, 02:53 AM

my vote went to Bo....constantine sucked last nite

thales · 03-08-2005, 12:40 PM

OK...so after last night I'm going to amend my prediction a bit about who gets voted off. Originally I guessed Travis Tucker and either Constantine Maroulis or Anthony Federov. I disagree with myself now.

Now Travis is still definitely a goner. That said, I think Anthony "trachea boy" Federov did well enough last night to carry him into the finals. So, I think that it's gonna be Travis and either Constantine or Nikko. If I had to put money on it I'd say Travis and Nikko - I think Constantine has a following of middle-aged housewives that were in college in the late 80s and he remindes them of those times. The Police song, however weakly executed, was sung to solidify that base...that pudgy but horny base.

ShaniFaye · 03-08-2005, 03:44 PM

excuse me but im pudgy, horny and a middle aged 80's geek....constantine needs to go after that performance

K-Wise · 03-08-2005, 04:15 PM

^ You tell em Shani! I hate to say it but Constantine probably should go. He has charisma but not much in the vocal department. Nikko isn't going anywhere. He's one of better singers in the competition. Plus the ladies seem to love him too. My predictions still stand and I hope it ain't Scott.

Asta!!

K-Wise · 03-09-2005, 09:47 PM

^ That doesn't make my statement any less true though. He is one of the better singers. I'm glad Scott made it in but I think it sucked that Niko didn't. He sings better than Federov, Constantine, Lindsey, Mikalah, and that other girl with the lisp. I don't think she shoulda been in at all actually. Sux. Looks like theres definitely not gonna be a wildcard round this year which sux because in the past years the wildcards have been some of the best ones. Talk all the shit you want about him but Clay was a wildcard and he's got a great voice. George and Jennifer we're wild cards last year and I thought they were both amazing...I wanted both of them in the top 3. George woulda been if it hadn't been for Hawaii (no offense to those of you who live there). Still a pretty good top 12 though.

If you want to know the real reason why Constantine made it to the top 12 it's this...2 rockers against everyone else is a hell of a lot better than Harold "Bo" Bice vs the whole lot of em....2 rockers battling each other is better than 1 against the whole lot of em too. If you wanna know who put Constantine in it wasn't the pudgy middle-aged housewifes. It was the rock fans who don't exactly consist only of horny pudgy middle-aged housewifes that get all hot n bothered when they see Constantine step on stage with his leather jacket. If Constantine has anyone to thank..it's them.

I don't buy it. This idea only holds up if Bo and Constantine get all the way to the final two. As soon as either one of them is voted off, then what? It'll be "Harold 'Bo' Bice vs the whole lot of em," that's what.

Don't confuse my predictions with what I think is right. I agree that Nikko is a better singer than Constantine. But hell, there are at least two guys that are already gone that are better singers than half the women that are left.

I disagree that Constantine didn't get into the final 12 because of his appeal to a specific demographic. They all appeal to a specific demographic or they wouldn't be here. All I'm saying is that I know too many women over the age of 30 who think Constantine is a bit of a hotty (and, truthfully, none of them are pudgy...they're all quite fit...and not enough of them are horny) . But they all agree that he can't sing that well...they just dont care because they like they way he looks in his jeans.

I was a bit surprised by the women's results though. While Janay was a shoo in after her abysmal performance, I thought Amanda's looks would carry her into the finals...but I also thought the same thing about David Brown.

Going forward, I think Lindsay Cardinale is next on the chopping block. After that, I have no freaking clue...at least until the performances.

I would hope that the next off the show would be Mikalah. I understand that Mikalah is a polarizing figure, but damn it SHE CAN'T SING and she has little to no stage presence. Both Constantine and Nadia are also limited in vocal skills, but they have a stage presence that far outweighs Makalah's.

I think "Trachea Boy" Federov will hold out a bit longer as this show, now that it is in the Barry Manilow/Show Choir stage. He just has to sing his shit in tune. He is capable of doing it. Makalah has yet to succeed on that front.

That's it for now...

K-Wise · 03-10-2005, 03:38 PM

I thought Mikalah's second performance was flawless. Her other two I didn't care for at all. Okay I see her up on stage and see her singing and I think "Hmm she doesn't sound too good but man she is really pretty." What is wrong with me?! She's 17. I'm going straight to hell. I realize you probably don't think she's all that good looking but I do for some reason and my mom thinks she could be a model.

I'd like to see at least David, Nikko, and Aloha come back. I actually thought Aloha has a great voice and did a great job on the Alicia song. She shouldn't have gone home.

Lindsey is definitely gone next unless she does well on themes I think she's gone too. She doesn't necessarily sing bad she's just terrible at picking songs and she comes across pretty fuckin boring and forgettable. Mikalah I imagine won't last too much longer though you know this. I mean she has a definite factor but it's like Simon said...some people are gonna find it cute and funny and others are gonna find it annoying. I found her first performance annoying. I think Themes are gonna be more her thing though.

Asta!!

mrklixx · 03-14-2005, 04:15 AM

Nikko Smith is Back!

Seems Mario Vasquez had to leave the show for "personal reasons", which is a shame. I would have rather seen Anthony or maybe even Constatine go instead of Mario. Must be pretty dang important "personal reasons" to drop out in this stage of the game.

According to today's NY Post, Mario told his brother "This is not a life threatening situation. It's for the best reason." He also said "I'm healthy. I'm fine. It's just a personal family thing. My family is top priority."

Weird thing about that last statement is that his mother and brother say they don't know "the reason" either. His mom said she knew of no problem involving the family. If his mother and brother are clueless, what "family" is he referring to?

It's a shame because I thought he was the clear favorite to win the whole thing because he had the broadest appeal to the tweenie girls that vote the most. The best thing about it is the fact that the competition is pretty wide open now. Board favorite Bo has a much better shot now as does Anwar Robinson and, possibly, Carrie Underwood. We'll see...

K-Wise · 03-14-2005, 02:34 PM

Oh that really sucks. He was one of my favorites. I thought he'd sail right into the top 3. That does make me wonder though if his family doesn't know what the "family" issue is then what is the real issue here? Well thats just too bad.

Asta!!

Grancey · 03-14-2005, 05:20 PM

Perhaps Mario has been offered a recording contract and has decided not to go through the A.I. hoops ?

GakFace · 03-14-2005, 06:44 PM

I was pissed last week because I missed the intro and as the tv faded in they were judging Bo.. which is one the main reasons I even watch the show this time around. I don't even care for the women this season.. The guys are great, and Bo kicks ass. I'd love to see him win.. and Mario? man I kinda expected it to be a Bo vs Mario ending.

Not likely. See this is how American Idol owns you. Remember what I said about Scooter Girl not being able to do any endorsements or sing on broadway? Same thing goes for Mario. He had to sign a recording contract with the American Idol team because it's a televised show and everyone on the show essentially gets recorded. He'd be bound by that contract and wouldn't be able to sign with anyone else until the contract was finished. It'd have to be some other reason other than that. But yeah I'm pretty sure until they tell you otherwise, American Idol pretty much own you once you get on the show.

The other guy who sang Al Green was great too..he had great control. Those 2 are probably going home too which sux cause I thought they did a great job. Anwar I did NOT like as much as the judges. I thought most of the performance was rather boring. He has a great voice it was just boring...until the end. Randy told the one guy "I was looking for that one note or run." Dammit theres more to singing than just a damn note..like an overall performance. To me thats all Anwars was..was one note. Mario I of course love him he's just got it....Scott too..among others...I was nervous when I noticed Federov was singing FOREIGNER! Hard band to sing but he did great...now the rockers.. Constantine...wow..I really thought he fucked the song up pretty bad But it's Chris Robinson so I'm forgiving. The screaming wasn't very authentic but not everyone can do that. But I agree with what Simon said about any bar, with any band, I could have gone up there and did what he did and I'm not that good. I hope they forgive him though cause I wanna see more of him. Bo...FUCK YEAH! ALLMANS! He fuckin brought it! CHEAH! Definitely authentic. He's a real rocker. I thought he was gonna break the mic stand on his knee at the end I was waiting for it I was like "BREAK IT DUDE FUCKIN BREAK IT!" but he didn't . That woulda been perfect. I don't think they woulda got mad if he did. They really got their work cut out for them picking this year as far as the guys are concerned..they're just all so talented. I HATE how they're doing it this year though...because they're seperating the boys and girls and they're eliminating guys that sing better than some of the girls that they're keeping dammit!! HUGE FLAW there. Oh well nothing ya can do about it.

Lockjaw Junkie	Watched this tonight and yes that Bo guy was damn good. I don't think he'll win because I'm betting when it gets to the top 10 he will have problems keeping things up to par but he's actually a good singer. That is something a lot of rockers don't have they just sing really loudly but not well. Bo has it but Constantine is an example of the rocker that sings loudly but not particularly well.

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	Yeah it's clear as soon as you hear Bo sing who is the truer, better rocker of the 2. Right away you notice his tone..he actually has it. Const doesn't really have it...he relies on other stuff. And of course they're gonna prolly fuck Bo over once he makes it to the big stage and they make him sing R&B & Soul, Big Band, etc. and claim he can't "adapt" or some bullshit but I think he can...and I think he will and if they like him then as much as they like him now...they're gonna love it. I think he has the ability to bring it. He's got more experiance and knows his voice.

Amnesia620 Forget me not... Location: See that dot on the map? I don't live there.	I am not one for reality shows. However, the American version of American Idol, this season, has actually proved entertaining. I don't watch it for the rejection, or who sucks. I'm more interested in those that are strong, confident, unique and vocally well-trained. In any catagory, people with true talent impresses, amazes and inspires me. Your world becomes a sunny place when you look on the bright side of things. __________________ For example, I find that a lot of college girls are barbie doll carbon copies with few differences...Sadly, they're dumb, ditzy, immature, snotty, fake, or they are the gravitational center to orbiting drama. - Amnesia620

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	^ Being a vocalist myself...It is impossible for me to NOT notice when someone sucks..especially when they're supposed to be some of the best in America. It also makes me appreciate those that REALLY have it more too...because I actually know more about WHY they have it as opposed to those who don't know anything about it but just like the way they sound. It's a big difference because those kind of people don't notice a wrong note, bad pitch, flat tone, etc. I pick it up immediately and I don't even know how to read music. Even if I haven't heard the song before sometimes I can just tell "Hmm something just doesn't sound right" The judges throw the words "key" "notes" and "pitch" around A LOT....Especially "pitch" and they don't even know what the words mean. I'll hear Randy complain about pitch to one guy and the guy he's praising is actually the one that is pitchy. Simon throws "wrong key" when really it's in the right key but just an octive lower or higher. Stuff like that.

I think he has the ability to bring it. He's got more experiance and knows his voice." I couldn't agree more. Just from the bit we've heard thus far, I believe Bo has the ability to cross-over to both R&B and Country fairly easily. I think Showtunes or Barry Manilow-type songs will give him the most problem. I think Constantine sucks vocally, but he's definitely the favorite of every woman watching over the age of 28 (although Bo may have won some of them over last night). At this point, the competitions seems to be between Bo and Mario. It'll be interesting to see whether Mario can go outside of his disco saftey zone. I'm certain he'll do will with the showtune and pop formats, but Country may be problematic for him. And if Bo and Constantine stay in for a while, who knows, maybe they'll have a hard rock format one night? I'll bet Mario can't pull that off very convincingly. What I fear is the "Show Choir"-like singing and dancing numbers that they make everyone do at the beginning of the finals. I reeeaaaallllyy do not want to see Bo wave his hands over his head singing "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius..." Yikes.

Lockjaw Junkie	I've already got my top 3-4 guys picked out. It's going to be Bo,Anwar,Mario, and probably that Bubba looking guy or Vladimir or whatever the hell his name is. Everybody else while decent just are IMO a level below those guys. But even still they probably should have a top 10 make up of like 6-7 guys compared to 3-4 girls because the females just haven't impressed at all thus far. I'll record it tonight so hopefully I can hear some good female singing but I just have this feeling it's going to be another all male final at the end of the season just like season two. And while I think Bo will be the underdog I think he'll do well outside of the contest. They have targeted Fantasia mostly to the urban audience(I hear her stuff on the urban stations here in Dallas all the time but never on the Top 40 stations). So maybe they will do the same with Bo and get him all nice and packaged up and put on some rock stations. He can sing better than just about every lead man in any significant rock ensamble that I can think of that's out right now.

Grancey Life's short, gotta hurry... Location: land of pit vipers	I think Bo is great and definitely at the top of my list and not just because he is a fellow Alabamian. And I would like to see a "rocker" win, but it's not going to happen. I feel certain that he will get a recording contract after AI and be very successful. I still think Carrie will win. She's got "it". __________________ Quiet, mild-mannered souls might just turn out to be roaring lions of two-fisted cool.

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	Okay I'm officially pissed! I just saw the results show (I had it Tivo'd) None of the guys who went home deserved to leave! They both sang great. David especially he was excellent. They better bring his ass back during the wild card round this year. They also asked Joe what he felt he did wrong and he simply said "Nothing" And he's right. The guy who sang "All Night Long" should have gone home. And I'm a little torn on Constantine as well...I love the guy but he did not perform as well as the 2 that left. Aloha left. I'm also really pissed off at that. Her performance was damn near flawless and they had to shit all over her like they did everyone else that left. They don't know what the fuck they are talking about. I wish America didn't hold their opinions so high. They said she was bad and America actually fucking believed it. I bet before they even said anything America thought she did great. I also hope they bring her back in the Wildcard round as well. From the girls the 16 yr old should have gone instead of Aloha. She's just not very good. She gave 2 bad performances already she should be home. This really fuckin sux.

thales Upright Location: New York	I don't think i'd go that far... I don't think I would go so far as to say "I'm pissed" or "this really fucking sux" (it is just America Idol after all), but David was certainly a surprise. That said, I looked at David's performance right after the show and was able to confirm that it did in fact suck ass. Very very off pitch until he was able to put some power behind it...oh well, I bet he'll comeback as a wild card (assuming they have include that inthe format this year). Re Joe: Look he didn't have a chance from the beginning. He was definitely not going to make the top 6 guys. The only question was whether he was going to go this week or next week. He reminds me of an updated version of an old Vegas singer...does anyone here remember a couple from the 70s talk show circuit named Steve Lawrence (sang with Edie Gorme)? Joe is a 21st century Steve Lawrence as far as I am concerned. You're wrong about the girls. They sucked. Did others suck more? Yes. But those that did suck more will likely go next week. Here's the thing that made me respect Joe. After he said "Nothing", he said that he didn't receive a lot of airtime prior to the semi-finals. That is the thru-line for everyone voted off thus far (except David). Seven of the eight people voted off thus far were rarely if ever mentioned in prior shows, while that no-talant freak Makalah Gordon got a huge amount of screen time. I guarantee you that is why she is still in the competition. My best guess for next week's eliminations... Guys: Travis Tucker and Anthony Federov will be the next to go. However,if either one of them shine and Constantine really sucks, then Constantine will be next to go...I don't know if the horny housewives will be able to keep Constantine on the show...especially if the androgenous-loving tweenies vote for Federov in droves. So it's one of those three. Girls: Janay Castine and Lindsey Cardinale My best guess for the final three (so far): Mario Vasquez, Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	Voted for Scott Savol first cause I felt like he needed it. Then voted for Bo second cause he's the shit. I hate to say it but of the ones left in the guys...probably Constantine should go. Definitely that Travis guy should go...he's all flash and no substance. I feel the people that need to be worried this time around are Scott (I thought he did great though), Constantine, and Travis..MAYBE Federov too. Constantine has a big audience though so I don't think he'll go which is why I think Scott might. That would suck but damn near all the guys they have deserve to go to the big show. Kinda makes me wonder if they'll actually have a wildcard round this year because the way they're voting them off it'd be a REALLY small wild card round unless they want to basically just bring everyone who's left back again.

thales Upright Location: New York	OK...so after last night I'm going to amend my prediction a bit about who gets voted off. Originally I guessed Travis Tucker and either Constantine Maroulis or Anthony Federov. I disagree with myself now. Now Travis is still definitely a goner. That said, I think Anthony "trachea boy" Federov did well enough last night to carry him into the finals. So, I think that it's gonna be Travis and either Constantine or Nikko. If I had to put money on it I'd say Travis and Nikko - I think Constantine has a following of middle-aged housewives that were in college in the late 80s and he remindes them of those times. The Police song, however weakly executed, was sung to solidify that base...that pudgy but horny base.

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	^ You tell em Shani! I hate to say it but Constantine probably should go. He has charisma but not much in the vocal department. Nikko isn't going anywhere. He's one of better singers in the competition. Plus the ladies seem to love him too. My predictions still stand and I hope it ain't Scott.

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	^ That doesn't make my statement any less true though. He is one of the better singers. I'm glad Scott made it in but I think it sucked that Niko didn't. He sings better than Federov, Constantine, Lindsey, Mikalah, and that other girl with the lisp. I don't think she shoulda been in at all actually. Sux. Looks like theres definitely not gonna be a wildcard round this year which sux because in the past years the wildcards have been some of the best ones. Talk all the shit you want about him but Clay was a wildcard and he's got a great voice. George and Jennifer we're wild cards last year and I thought they were both amazing...I wanted both of them in the top 3. George woulda been if it hadn't been for Hawaii (no offense to those of you who live there). Still a pretty good top 12 though. If you want to know the real reason why Constantine made it to the top 12 it's this...2 rockers against everyone else is a hell of a lot better than Harold "Bo" Bice vs the whole lot of em....2 rockers battling each other is better than 1 against the whole lot of em too. If you wanna know who put Constantine in it wasn't the pudgy middle-aged housewifes. It was the rock fans who don't exactly consist only of horny pudgy middle-aged housewifes that get all hot n bothered when they see Constantine step on stage with his leather jacket. If Constantine has anyone to thank..it's them.

K-Wise It's All About The Ass!! Location: In a pool of mayonnaise!!	I thought Mikalah's second performance was flawless. Her other two I didn't care for at all. Okay I see her up on stage and see her singing and I think "Hmm she doesn't sound too good but man she is really pretty." What is wrong with me?! She's 17. I'm going straight to hell. I realize you probably don't think she's all that good looking but I do for some reason and my mom thinks she could be a model. I'd like to see at least David, Nikko, and Aloha come back. I actually thought Aloha has a great voice and did a great job on the Alicia song. She shouldn't have gone home. Lindsey is definitely gone next unless she does well on themes I think she's gone too. She doesn't necessarily sing bad she's just terrible at picking songs and she comes across pretty fuckin boring and forgettable. Mikalah I imagine won't last too much longer though you know this. I mean she has a definite factor but it's like Simon said...some people are gonna find it cute and funny and others are gonna find it annoying. I found her first performance annoying. I think Themes are gonna be more her thing though.
