The Daughtry season was the best season of AI ever. It’s been downhill since. Our snark has gotten tighter, but the show itself hasn’t been as strong.
I didn’t watch Idol yet in that season. Trying to remember my first season. Who was my first winner? It might have been the Jordin Sparks season.
Meat Loaf is heterosexual! Wants to make out with a female for three hours!
Randy has shoes that are the love children of sneakers and rain boots.
Doughtry has a good raspy voice. Not sure I’m crazy about his song.
Bald guys have more testosterone. Except after they put on a cheesy toupee. That removes all of it. Lol.
I am LMAO at the irony of yu taking Rogaine, and yet using Veet (or was it Nair) on the “hinterlands” LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband always said that Biden had a “scrotal weave.” Lol!
Holy Carp they saved him!
I saw your fish too soon! (The carp). It spoiled me. So while Sam was singing for his life, I was stunned thst they were going to save him. He sounded like dog poop on the sole of a shoe. He’s a cute shy young boy. But not a good singer. Either in sound or in connection to lyrics or audience. Zero charisma. But maybe the judges know he does but is nervous onstage? Seriously, in a singing competition, how is he to be saved? Or was this the last week to use it? Or maybe they know they would never use it on CJ or Urk?
That bob is so chicken like I now want to see Keith bathed in batter.
Keith seems slightly more happy this season. Last season he always seemed like he would rather have been home under the blankets drinking cocoa and deep conditioning his hair.
Giggling!!
Though I do think he needs to get out of the house a lot with that woman running the show.
I love Kiefer too. For years whenever we drove through Silverlake I was all... I was born here... And Kiefer Sutherland lives here.
But I do think he does look older. Still good.
See you all next week!
Remember Jasmine Trias? All of Hawaii was voting for her. They had to extend the voting hours because the-then 2 hour window after the show effectively “disenfranchised” the entire state.
OREO sandwich..the bottom three on stage
It is a little surprising that since he’s been on AI for two seasons, his wife hasn’t popped up once in the audience, with the kids..
yo have completely disillusioned me...
I used to love AI and the opportunity it gave people like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Pickler, and Jennifer Hudson to develop a career they probably would not have had otherwise. I liked that Taylor Hicks got his moment in the national spotlight and then go back to what he was doing.
Something changed. I think that it was really noticable with the Jordan Sparks win. She was obviously well-connected and she was propped up by the judges. I saw her as an okay singer but not really an idol. That's about when the show started having some glitches in their popularity.
What's my point? Look at that final eight. There really isn't someone up there who has that overall appeal to young teens, and they don't want that audience to erode even further. Sometimes, as with Sam, the viewers see weaknesses that the judges miss. They saved him to keep the teenage audience, not because he deserved it....the others have obviously improved so much more. Also, like someone said it might be strategy. Do they get to vote two of them off next week?
Another thought. I liked Paula as a judge, a lot. She was incoherent at some times and maybe overly kind, but she seemed to get those with that inner something to shine. She recognized that unmeasurable quality which is star potential. Without her, the magic of undiscovered talent is gone.
That's my impressions. I think things out best when I'm typing. So, yeah, that's my impression. Also that the heavy set black guy (CJ?) has something special, something he seems to have developed through a combination of life experiences and raw talent.
I get the feeling she thinks she’s above appearing on TV talent show. She’s supposedly deeply unpleasant. BUT I will say that Keith and Nicole are really, really good about keeping their kids out of the public eye, unlike that phony Angelina Jolie and her child army. So I’m sure some of not appearing on camera with the kids is part of that, too.
Oh he does look older, but he still looks good. For someone who drinks as much as he reportedly does, it’s amazing he doesn’t look even older. LOL
I was reading some gossip site a few years ago where people were talking about celebrity encounters. This woman said she was at one of the big Vegas hotels and was going to go outside to smoke. Somehow she got turned around and ended up behind the kitchen or like a loading dock type area and there was another person out there smoking. She asked him for a light and they laughed about the luxe accommodations they got as smokers. They made some polite chit chat. His finished his cigarette, said it was nice chatting and to enjoy the rest of the night and went back inside. As he walked past to go inside she realized it was Kiefer Sutherland. I thought it was cool that he was nice. Sometimes you read those encounters and they are total jerks.
yo have completely disillusioned me...
Assume you are joking! Lol. I’m sure some signs are real. We saw family members bring their own signs, like Team Jonah etc. But the stupid ones were made by the producers! And the two last night with JLo’s stupid English seemed phonies.

Oy’m suah she cahnt be bohthuhd.
