American Idol - Season 10

[andyzee]

Hmm, ya think Jacob goes. I'm with gmcunni on this one and say Scotty goes. The kid just doesn't bring anything to the stage, IMO, not a good performer.

Jacob

This is the only show I watch, except for news and PBS. Not a TV fan, but I can't miss this show. Total mindless indulgence.

I have never watched American Idol. That f'ing show used to crash the Comcast telephone network. I was up until 4am debugging every night that show aired. The entire freakin' country puts their voting phone number on repeat dial and hits it every 30 seconds. Things failed on my stuff from all that load in ways I'd never imagined could be possible.

Something to be said for the old way of doing things:

i heard an ad on the radio this morning for a new show where the judges can't see the performance, they ONLY hear the voice, so they have to judge on that alone. I dunno how well it will work (probably like the "dating in the dark" show, haha)

It is glitzy... just funny you guys are into it..

Do any of these people actually go on to become idols? As it were...

r
Carrie Underwood multiple Grammy artist and album of the yr , Kelly Clarkson ditto except no album of th eyr ,Jennifer Hudson Oscar Winner , Daughtry - a rocker has had commercial success . Adam lambert is starting to hit his stride too.




Camp : i agree damn U n' me as judges would rock !! Hell i can kiss JLO too



the reason i think Scotty stays in is the MASSIVE amt of voters who LOVE country wil probably keep him in the comp beyond Jacob

 

[dmc]

I think I remember a friend saying Taylor Hicks was on the Jam Cruise(hippy music) this year... Said he sat in with Bob Weir on some songs.. crazy...

i agree. i don't like him but he's getting a lot of support from the fans.

i agree Gary but in truth i think Scotty will do very well in HIS niche once this whole thing is history . That's why Its smart for him to keep HIS country thing going -- screw Jimmy Iovine and hit HIS target market hard EVERY week .

I personally don't care for him and he is GOOFY on the stage But the PIPES are there and SO is the COUNTRY market .

But PULEEEEEEZE somebody teach the kid how to hold a friggin mike like a Man

James and Casey are consistently freaking awesome -- James is over the top and Casey is pretty damn versatile and his musicianship is great

no doubt he's a star in the making but you are right, he needs grooming and polishing to get rid of some goofy habits.

I don't know, that goofy mic habit is now his signature. ala Steven Tyler's goofy scarf on the mic.

 

[Warp Daddy]

I Yeah BUT Its a GOOFINESS that make him look like freakin Howdy Doody or Alfred E Neuman NOT like the Dude who looks like a lady _

BTW the Queen and I had a chance meeting with ST once coming out ofthe Waldorff in NYC and he was very nice to stop and say a few words

Agree, it is kinda glitzy...I could do without all that b.s., but some of those kids really are good.

Idols??? Not really, good singers/entertainers?? Yup, Daughtry comes to mind...that dude kills it!!!

Same here.....river walk in San Antonio TX. He stopped, said hi and asked what kind of booze I was drinking. Those daiquiri bars are the best when it's 98 degrees out.

I used to think the same thing, then gave it a chance, some good talent to by found there. If it were up to me, the following would be last three standing:

Casey Abrams:




James Durbin:




Haley Reinhart:

 

[campgottagopee]

Still can't believe Zakk was on American Idol....dude kills it

 

[Warp Daddy]

ANDY : I like that final 3 too . Haley's voice timbre is unique and she looks 'jes fine !
