If anyone sings this again, including Stevie Wonder, I'll stick my head in an aquarium until it ends.
You could still join us, if you don't mind hearing the results before you watch. I used to do that when I lived in CO and a few others still do it.
We have a blast!
Wow...already over 10,000 posts and we're not even at the top 12 yet!
Tonight's show should be interesting. Glen Beck said the same thing I've been saying:
He likes Chicken Little but thinks he may get voted off tonight and hates to see him go. I like the guy too. He just seems genuine. Sure, he'll never win, but I'd give him a few more weeks.
I know that Randy "Dawg" Jackson and Simon want guys to win this year, but I have a feeling that McPhee may be a spoiler this year. She and Lisa Tucker are the "stand outs" as far as I see. The guys have Taylor, Chris and Elliott.
Bo's singing tonight. I haven't heard his new CD so I'm interested in hearing how he does.
Just because you don't like his style, or the song, doesn't mean he doesn't sing will. Believe me, there are tons of people who don't like Taylor's style, but appreciate that he's talented..why can't you?
Yup - I think I can see that...

I can't believe you're that naive. THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL..not a radio competition. I didn't say Mandisa was TOO fat..I said she'd be a knockout if she lost weight because she's so beautiful. I said Hicks is TOO old looking to be an American Idol. Here's what you're not thinking about...after the competition, the top 6 go on tour...who goes to these shows? 10-16 year old GIRLS...GIRLS...Hicks is getting the older people vote right now, but when the field thins, he'll be weeded out. He will have a good career, just not the American Idol career. And he's probably lucky if that happens.
Now, as far as me being superficial? Why are you being so sensitive? hmm? If you don't think looks matter in entertainment, then you're pretty out of touch.
Stevie Wonders songs? The key to doing it right, is to pick his upbeat songs, not the freakin ballads.
I just hope someone sings:
"I Wish"
"Master Blaster"
"Superstition"
"Part-Time Lover"
"That Girl"
"Ebony & Ivory"
"Uptight (Everything's Alright)"
I also hope, they don't butcher his songs like the contestants did when they did to Barry Manilow a few seasons back.
Is it possible to butcher them any worse than Barry Manilow already does?
LOL!! Hey now...he's getting on in years and that does something to a voice...:)
He still sings pretty good, but you're right, the last time I saw him perform (on Dancing with the Stars, no less), he didn't sound as good as he used to. But I'm sure much better than idol wannabe's.
I hope that dialidol.com is wrong in it's predictions, cuz that would suck if Tucker got sent home.
By the way, how do they know about the busy signals and how many someone gets? How can they figure that, realistically?
And do you suppose Vote For The Worst has anything to do with who has the higher votes? Kevin? Jeesh...this show IS rigged...stupid reality shows...
LOL! Sort of the reverse of "I'm #1" on the Dose.
Taylor should sing that one.
cute - roll tide!
LOL!! Do I get a prize?? I could use a toaster. Or a pink Kitchen Aide Mixer...hint..hint...
Meant to ping you to 10035, too. :-D
If you think Mountain time is rough in terms of following this thread live, imagine what it's like for us in the Pacific time zone. I must admit, though, that it's fun to come here on results night to find out early who gets bounced.
I agree with you. The fun of the show is to watch the growth of those who have the most potential to develop their talent through this experience, and appreciate the opportunity.
That's what I like about Will. (and a few others to some degree). I just wonder if he would've been more ready for the experience in a few more years.
Where's snugs when we need her? ;-)
Will is cute (although I hate his hairstyle), and he has a pleasant voice. However, we in the viewing audience can only judge based on what we see coming across our TV screens. To me, Will appears not to be taking this competition very seriously. He has a lackadaisical, almost disconnected stage presence, and he's picked fairly easy songs.
Is this due to his age? Maybe, but I don't think so.
