This sucks lemons!
I would buy the worst Nadia song before I would buy a Fantasia song. I just didn't care for Fantasia. A little bit went a long long way. That's just me though, others obviously liked her enough to pick her.
I'm so bummed - I love Nadia! I'm sick of the fat wigga taking space on the stage from people with real talent. Nadia is original sexy and a woman of faith. She'll be fine, just as she says. And who can't love Bo's 'tude? Says he just did this as a bet with his mom and would be happy to go back to playing "gigs". I'm starting to think there is a "King of Comedy" thing going on here and Poppin' Fresh has somebody locked in a closet until they give him the show!
Nadia is someone I would pay to see - knocking back a scotch in some smoky club and watching her work it.
Indeed. But Simon was right--after Nadia sang her farewell song, which was great!, he told her if she had sang that song last night, she wouldn't be standing here tonight. Very true.
Song choice is imperative. The very thing I personally liked about Nadia - picking old and somewhat obscure songs - led to her turning off some folks. She's got class and talent though and will pack many a Miami club.
I think 'Blade has the fat/alienated vote locked up...
I think somebody will grab her up if they haven't already. With some of these people, when they sing, you listen, but with Nadia, you not only listen you watch.
"My quest is to see Slingblade and Lt Dan GO HOME!"
I'm with you!
Who the heck is voting for Scotty the Potty??
It's a crime!
But she had already sung that song before. I don't think they are allowed to repeat.
I didn't care for some of the obscure songs, you're right, but anything recognizable, I thought she did well and great!
Gotta be honest - I think Dan is doing pretty good lately. I'm with you on 'Blade though. Yakov Smirnoff needs to go too.
I didn't think Nadia could "win" or make the top three, but she was much better than Slingblade and Lt. Dan!
This is turning out like Nashville Star....all the girls are getting voted off! Only Carrie and Vonzell are left.
Yeah, but it's the quality of the song I think Simon was referring to.
"Yakov Smirnoff needs to go too."
And Paula needs to lay off the Smirnoff too!
Any guesses for next weeks theme? Will they eventually do like last year and have them perform songs from a singer of the week?
Wish we could vote on the judges. Paula has rubbed my last nerve raw. If we need an aging female pop-star, why not Susanna Hoffs or Sheena Easton?
I'd like to see them all do Neil Diamond - but that's just me :)
Well, as I pointed out before. I think these judges are like movie critics. Sometimes the movies the critics like the best, I think suck. Other times the movies they hate I really like. I liked Nadia's song choice last night and I thought she did it well. I couldn't believe that Randy acted like he had never heard of it before. It's preference. What I like you might not like, but just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that there isn't a market for it. Know what I mean?
