American Idol 2012--Live Thread

Barry should use Randy Jackson in his campaign ads scolding America how to vote...yeah, that’ll work. :)

---

Good one.

Something like “ Yo Yo, America, this guy is Dope... ( first true statement of season )

[silent_jonny]

Simon wouldn’t have made such a spectacle of himself on stage and it’s so fake and forced this season.

I don't know about that. When Rachel Crow (I had to google her name) was eliminated from X-Factor, Simon ran up on stage and embraced the sobbing girl while he shot daggers at Nicole Scherzinger (thanks again, google).

Speaking of Rachel, she sang the Nation Anthem at the White House Easter Egg Roll last Monday.

They probably had to glue Obama's hand to his chest.

[silent_jonny]

If one is saved tonight, two will go next week. I think that’s how it works.

Normally, it would. But they had to kick out a singer earlier so now the show is a week behind schedule. If they only eliminate only one person this week then they'll be back on track.

[silent_jonny]

They made FOOLS out of themselves jumping on stage. America voted; deal with it, dogs.

LOL!

[peggybac]

That’s one of the reasons I didn’t like the X-Factor - too much personal participation between the judges and the contestants, yet, I know that’s what the show is about. I prefer the opposite. I also HATE when the judges on Idol give standing ovations - I think they should just sit and applause. Just my feelings.

[silent_jonny]

Can’t wait for X-Factor, the host and judges are better.

Simon fired the host and half the judges.

[morphing libertarian]

Thanx. Good to know.

[silent_jonny]

What about the other six kids standing there?

I agree. That was totally inconsiderate. They could have had all the drama they wanted without Big Mouth Randy's lecture. "America, vote for the best!"

"And what are we, Randy?"

[silent_jonny]

FYI...the fish died..

Sorry, Ken. I couldn't tell if you were joking or not.

I blame Fantasia.

[silent_jonny]

But, the save is gone now..... next week will be fun.

Mwahahahaha!

[silent_jonny]

Steven Tyler gave his greatest performance since playing a Skeksis in Dark Crystal, JLo pretended she was one of us watching her movies and Randy Jackson went back to the time when Sizzler told him they were all out of cheese toast.

LOLOL!! Did you write this? :)

It is impressive at how JLo finds a way to make a moment all about her.

Well it is her only talent.

I didn't notice this at the time, but she was the first judge on stage. She ran up there in heels and left Randy and Steven in the dust. "Spotlight on me!"

[silent_jonny]

I hated the X Factor. Didn’t even finish watching the season.

There's no way I can sit through that trainwreck again. The show is bad enough all by itself, but when you add in the scheduling conflicts with baseball, Thanksgiving, Christmas and FR's bandwidth-choking election coverage--forget it.

[silent_jonny]

My comments are more towards HOW they did it, rather than the decision to use the save.

Exactly.

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Peggy! I also HATE when the judges on Idol give standing ovations - I think they should just sit and applause. Just my feelings.

I agree. They only do it to sway votes.

[Chunga]

My comments are more towards HOW they did it, rather than the decision to use the save.

Exactly.

And a 16-year old monster talent...maybe the third greatest female in Idol history, displaying a God-given talent and a work ethic American youth can't imagine emulating, the daughter of an Iraq War Navy vet...will bear the brunt of the hinterlanders' disgust with the AI judges.

Get ready for Philip Phillips, America!

[Chunga]

I bet you’re right (as usual). With seven contestants remaining I’ll give even odds that Phillips will take home the prize this year.

[Chunga]

You’re on! I’ll take Phillips.

[Netizen]

Moochelle has too much blue eye shadow on.

[Netizen]

That cracked me up. Snidley Whiplash. (I think)

[ken5050]

Here's a plot twist for next week: America, disgusted with the judges' crass attempts to show thier choice down the throats of the viewers, votes Jessica off AGAIN.

In response, all three judges get up and walk off the show...

Can you imagine what the ratings would be the following week?

[Netizen]

Does someone have to pull that zipper out of the crack of her butt so she get that dress off?

[Netizen]

Yes, I would sometimes pop in to see some of the comments.

[Netizen]

Through the roof! lol

[silent_jonny]

Moochelle has too much blue eye shadow on.

Ha!

[MagUSNRET]

WHITE GUYS CAN’T DO MOTOWN

THANK ME! ;-)

[MagUSNRET]

Rest in Peace Dick Clark...and Thanks for the many memories of American Bandstand.....”I give it a 98—it has a good beat and it’s easy to dance to.........”

[Cudjo]

evening jonny

thank goodness they finally used their save and have to live with what people vote.

[retrokitten]

Hi!

OMG This whole stupid rehashing the save drama is so completely stupid.

[MagUSNRET]

Oh for Cripes sakes...how many times are they going to milk the “Poor Jessica” almost booted off video...good grief.......this show is approaching the same crappiness as X-Factor now!

[Mark was here]

I wonder if tonight’s “live show” will even know about the passing of Dick Clark today?

[silent_jonny]

Thanks!

[MagUSNRET]

I see JLo is wearing something form the “Crafts with Hefty Trash Bags” collection

[Netizen]

What an intro. Can they be in the bag for Jessica any more than they already are?
How biased was that?

[retrokitten]

Is Jlo wearing a rubber dress?? What is that monstrosity?

[kjam22]

there you go....

[silent_jonny]

A smattering of applause for Dick Clark.

"Who's that?"

[MagUSNRET]

yeah...I kinda prefer the Paula yearsa...when the phrase “in the bag” MEANT something ;-) LOL

[silent_jonny]

Evening, Cudjo :)

[Fishtalk]

Evening SJ. As always, thank you for doing this thread. I do unabashedly use much of it for my weekly Blog posts. I give credit though, and encourage readers to come join.

Below my most recent Blog post. I posit that the judge’s GOP Blue Blood type actions will hurt Jessica more than they help her.

We shall see.

[peggybac]

Hi Jonny! RIP Mr. Clark.

[RummyChick]

If anyone has money to burn, earth wind and fire is selling rights to some of their songs through Songvest.

Shining Star is up for grabs

[twin2]

Good evening. Are we ever going to get a show that is just one hour this year? Fox really must have nothing in the pipe line.

[silent_jonny]

Hi!

I know. I want her gone even more now.

Hollie and Adele could be risky.

[peggybac]

Hollie sounds great.

[Netizen]

body condom?

[Shelayne]

Hiya Jonny! Peeps! I was thinking that I would pass before Dick Clark! RIP Mr. Bandstand.

Holy cow, Hollie sound fantastic!

[MagUSNRET]

Hollie is nailing this...Good job!
