Members Suckrates Posted March 8, 2012 Members Posted March 8, 2012 Well first nite for the Idol 13, and for me the clear front runner is Jessica sanchez, although I do love Erika Van Pelt as well... Was hoping to swoon to over colton, but although he is nice eye candy, not a fan of his music... Joshua was also good, but I felt bad for Jermey, who JLo is clearly routing for but just didnt cut the mustard last nite.... Back to Jessica however, her rendition of Whitneys "I Will Always Love You was beautiful and Flawless. It even made me forget Whitneys version, a testament to Jessicas talent. You Go Gurl.... Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Jeremy and Shannon should be in the bottom two tonight for the sing off. Then JLo will save Jeremy who loves him for some reason. I also agree that Jessica Sanchez is the one to beat. She took a huge risk to sing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". But she nailed it. It was beautiful. I also liked Erika Van Pelt as well. I also like Deandre. He is probably the most commercial actually. I'm not a fan of Colton. He is like an Adam Lambert wanna be or a cheap knock off with no real vocal ability at all. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Here is a good summary of last night. I agree with most of his sentiments. Although I'm not a fan of Colton at all. http://www.afterelton.com/tv/recaps/american-idols-top-13-performances?page=1,0 Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Well, Jeremy went home. I liked him too but based on performance, he should have left. I know you can all guess who I am rooting for? (HINT: I love Sanjaya!) Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 oh good. I was worried that JLo would insist on saving him. Well it is just now starting here on the West Coast. So I'll see it in 57 minutes if I know Ryan's delay tactics. . . Quote

He was more that kid with an OK voice that sings in the garage.... Quote
Members Suckrates Posted March 9, 2012 Author Members Posted March 9, 2012 BTW - I really enjoyed DeAndre's performance this week, primarily because he didnt use his hair as a prop, or sing in the screechy falsetto voice. He owned the song and performed it well, seemed at ease on the stage. Reminded me Bruno Mars in the performance sense. 2 Thumbs Up Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I agree. I think Deandre is the most commercial too. And he's the cutest!! Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 http://theclicker.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/13/10675824-jermaine-jones-disqualified-from-american-idol Jermaine Jones, the gentle giant has been eliminated from Idol and will no longer be on the show because he failed to disclose several "multiple crimes". This is usually in the cycle when they have a double elimination anyway so maybe they will only have one elimination this week down to the top 10 anyway. Or will they bring someone back? Quote
Members Suckrates Posted March 15, 2012 Author Members Posted March 15, 2012 Well, after last nites performanaces, if HeeJun doesnt get the boot, ill suck your cock ! Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I was totally unimpressed with everyone tonight. Joshua was pretty good but the rest not so much. I agree Heejun was definitely at the bottom. Quote
Members Suckrates Posted March 16, 2012 Author Members Posted March 16, 2012 Heejun in the TOP 10 ? A Travesty !!!! He deserved to GO before Shannon.. AND his little bowing gimmick is starting to annoy me. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 The problem is that only teenage girls are voting and they vote for the boys. Teenage boys no longer think its cool to watch this aging show. So I suspect the girls will go one by one yet again. Quote

Point taken, but somehow I cant see even teenage girls being impressed with Heejun.. He's no cutie-patootie like Bieber. However, there are miliions of Asian teenage girls whom I suspect are keeping him going.? Quote
Members axiom2001 Posted March 17, 2012 Members Posted March 17, 2012 I have yet to begin watching this season of "American Idol." From the posts here, I am encouraged to view it this coming week. ...think I saw the guy with the hair during the preliminaries, and I think he's "fine" indeed! Hot, even! :tongue: Quote
Members Suckrates Posted March 22, 2012 Author Members Posted March 22, 2012 OK, so Wed 3/21 was Billy Joel nite. WHY ???? OK, so he's some fucking muscial icon, but his songs are hardly relevant on todays music scene. If they are looking for the hottest music pop-star, WHY Billy Joel ? Plus, none of the performances really blew me away. None of the contestants are CONSISTENTLY good !. They have their moments, but honestly only Colton has STAR POWER... And Heejun is REALLY starting to bug me. Its not American Goofball, boot that asshole.... Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 "American Idol" Billy Joel Week: Just the Gay You Are? If they are actually trying to go after a younger demographic then why do a Billy Joel week? I liked the reviews on AfterElton: http://t.co/Fj0r2crV Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Spoiler Alert (in case you didn't' see the Idol elimination last night). EVP or Erica Van Pelt was booted off the show last night. Heejun should have been the one that went home. He is just awful and certainly not respectful of the process either based on what we saw this week. If you follow the website "votefortheworst.com" you'll see they are supporting Heejun to get people to vote for their view of who the worst contestant might be and Heejun is their current choice. I have to say that I'm not really excited by any of the contestants this year. I wasn't excited about any of them last year either. They all seem too generic to me. I thought maybe Colton might be it but his voice is way too weak. He's trying to be an Adam Lambert type performer but he doesn't have the chops to do it. Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I like her and I liked her new look. I thought she had a great voice and I loved listening to her. Who I really want to see gone is HuJun. He drives me nuts! (not in a good say) Quote
Members Suckrates Posted March 23, 2012 Author Members Posted March 23, 2012 I was SCREAMING at the TV when they announced HeeJerk was saved. Guess the asian population DOES rule? The guy is just a Clown, not to mention he cant sing. Is there an Asian quota fr these shows ? Thats the only reason I can think for him being chosen. I am a long time AI fan, and have been to the tour concert every year except for the year Taylor Hicks won, and Lee Dewyze. Those were also 2 lacklustre seasons. I WwONT go this year either becuase noone is really reving my motor. Too soon to even call a winner, its so up and down. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Stevie Nicks to mentor 'American Idol' contestants this week If anyone falls this coming week on American Idol, Stevie Nicks will be there to help. The Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter and solo artist is mentoring the nine finalists of the hit Fox singing competition, according to AI executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, who yesterday tweeted a photo of himself with Nicks while confirming the news. As part of this week’s theme, contestants will select songs from their personal idols. The show’s mentor-in-residence (and Interscope Geffen A&M chairman) Jimmy Iovine has strong ties to Nicks, of course; they were once romantically linked, and he produced her first three solo albums in the 1980s. Quote
Members Suckrates Posted March 26, 2012 Author Members Posted March 26, 2012 Although Nicks is an icon, like many of the mentors on the show, they are "Past their Prime" and not relevant on todays music scene. How's about some FRESH blood Nigel ??? These old foggies are bringing the show down.. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Or at least not grabbing a younger demographic. Those of us in our 40's and 50's are watching because we like these old foggies. But what about Nicki Minaj as a mentor; or Katy Perry as a mentor; or Justin Bieber (god help us) as a mentor? Quote

Point taken EX, so lets just agree perhaps there should be some "Balance"....j Quote
