about american idol talk

This is a group for fans of American Idol to discuss the week's doings, critique the contestants, and generally disagree with the decisions made by the American public at large. We will discuss the song choices, presentation, musical ability (or lack thereof,) and keep the discussions centering on the music, the presentation, the orchestration, the arrangements, and the commercial viability of the contestants as they perform week after week.

It is not for those who hate American Idol to come in and make snarky comments, so don't even try. You will be deleted and blocked. Nor is it designed for AI gossip since there are a significant number of web sites already dedicated to that endeavor.

As founder of this group, it is my intention to put up a critique late at night for each of the performance evenings. Everyone who is a group member is welcome to comment on my choices or place their own blog.

So let Season 8 Begin...

I think that Kara is a transition so that viewers can get used to her before Paula is shown the door. But that's just my opinion. Apart from the subsitution of Kara for Paula next year, I really see no reason to have a fourth judge.

I totally agree with you Steve. Paula is going bye bye. I really don't like Kara so far.

You guys really think Paula is gone?? I know that she has had some moments the past few seasons, but in a way it keeps things interesting. I mean Randy and Simon are the same week end and week out. If they went to just Randy, Simon, and Kara then that panel would be a real snoozer IMHO.

Kara tripped me out when she called "bikini girl" a bit@*h.

I heard a rumor about it. you know you can believe everything you hear... LOL. I'm working tonight and the bar crowd won't let me watch it... so when I come home from work today I expect to read a full recap. I don't have that new fangled DVR.

two out of three ain't bad. I can see how that Alexis Grace girl got through

I liked the top three. A. Grace was the best female act that night as far as I am concerned.

I am terrible with names sometimes... The big guy that made it through. I am not sold on him yet.

Michael is the big guy. He's like a welder on oil rigs or something. I think he got voted through on likeability

Based on their performances on Tuesday, I am at a loss as to why Michael Sarver got through. Yes, he seems nice, but his rendition of 'I don't wanna be' was just all over the place. I thought there were some others that were better...

That said, I am excited that Grace got through. She was hands-down the best female performer that night.

Did anyone else feel like they were watching Porn on a mic with Alexis Grace? That song she sang, just sounded so DIRTY!!! I thought her version of that song was just so dirty and raunchy!! Kinda turned me on actually.

Yep Deck she got my attention. I knew as soon as she finished that she was going through. She got her shot and she brought the heat - literally. If she can keep it up she has top 5 written all over her.

OK STEVE! How about a preview of week 3? I'm guessing the blind guy will be great. OMG I totally can't stand the flamboyant guy with the spikey hair.. He's worse than Danny Noreaga was last year.

Okay, it is only a half hour into the show tonight and Paula has already lost it. Should be interesting from here on out! What is up with the girl?

Oh, geez, Steve, sorry. I just read this:

"Nor is it designed for AI gossip since there are a significant number of web sites already dedicated to that endeavor."

You can delete my comments! Sorry!

Adam will win this year. I just got done watching several youtube videos on Ring of Fire. The guy is BRILLIANT! You can't beat it!

Although, I find that sometimes artists do better NOT winning Idol...

OK - I am floored that Alexis got eliminated. She was too good to be gone so early. I was hoping they were going to use the save but I thought that they might hold on to it a little longer.

Probably saving it for Adam whom they can't seem to keep their lips off his rump.

Where is everybody... The biggest Idol show of the season was last night and not one post or blog? Steve are you out there?

Agghhhhh! I just watched American Idol--we recorded it--and no Adam performance! What? Did he not sing or are the many people who watched it on DVR not going to see his performance? That could affect the votes. I'm assuming he went last but it was after the 1 hour and 1 minute mark and he wasn't recorded.

How'd he do?

I am watching Idol Live this week so that I do not miss any performances. This means turning the volume way up so I can hear it over my kids.

It is Quentin Tarantino week. Why do I think that Adam will do something really amazing being teamed up with this guy? I love the music he chooses for his movies!

Last night I was shocked that Anoop went and Matt stayed. Anoop is much better IMHO than Matt.

So we have the top 5.

Here is my prediction of order of elimination:

1: Matt 2: Danny Gokey 3: Allison 4: Kris

Which makes Adam the winner. I think Danny and Allison could easily reverse themselves on my list, but that would be about it. Kris obviously has a large following but not enough to unseat Adam for the winner. Matt and Allison have both been in the bottom three more than once so they will go fairly quickly out of the top 5 and Danny simply has no where to go because he is not strong enough to beat out either Kris or Adam so his best shot is to finish third.
