American Idol 2006--Live Thread (Part II)

You could say that for all of them. (one good song, one bad song)

That's true. But IMO, Chris and Taylor's good songs were the best of the bunch.

The West Coast telecast starts in a little less than an hour, so voting will start in two hours and end in four hours from now.

i'm glad you're feeling better. People were worried on the 24 thread last night. Good to see you in fine form tonight! :)

I think text messages are completely unaccounted for in DialIdol.com's numbers, so that's where most of the uncertainty comes in.

"voting will start in two hours and end in four hours from now."

Thanks!

BTW...I noticed that Dial Idol has both numbers up. Last week they only had one. That could explain why it appeared that Paris was going home over Kellie.

I loved Ferris Beuler's day off. One of my faves. :)

Mine too! There's a special edition DVD out, the "Bueller ... Bueller Edition"--I'm not making that up :)

Which line are you calling?

I'm calling the second number. It's funny, how it goes in spurts. I'll get thru a whole lot of times in a row, then not.

My last post should have ended with a :( instead of :) :)

Quick Impressions for tonight ...

Simon gives himself a 9 1/2 out of 10.

Me to him --- More like a 4/10. You're becoming completely and utterly™ irrelevant, mate.

Elliott Poor song choice. On Broadway shows nothing. It has been overperformed before, does nothing to show your range.

Overall, felt sub-Elliott standard. Not bad, but just meh. But I'll be dialing for him nonetheless because he MUST be in this competition.

Paris "Kiss" was probably a bad song choice. Better with Mary J. Overall, in danger of going home.

Her fan base has peaked and tonight does nothing to add to it.

Chris Man...did the back-to-back recap ever tell his AI5 story: 26 years apart, and both songs were ... absolutely ... indistinguishable. I mean, that's gotta count for somethin'.

Kat Oh the contrast. AAO -- Quite possibly the first time in recorded history a singer missed EVERY single note. I mean, if you're going to bomb, why not stand at ground zero and go nuclear? Then, the Cherry Tree. Oh, Kat, stay with your cherry tree. That was hawt, that was playful, that was just fun. So to summarize: ballads BAD. They're BAD. Not gonna do it. Nah ga da it. Playful is good. It's good. GOOD.

Taylor Tonight...the line in the sand. From here on out, if he goes out, he goes out as Taylor Hicks Original Formula™. Not only fearless with PTFM, but, goddamnit, Fun. Capital F. He KNOWS Simon is going to thrash him so why not take Simon to DEFCON-5 and leave him utterly flippin speechless. I can't even quantify the love for this guy, as a contestant, as a performer, as a person. And then, "Something". His delivers with nuance, with a touch of soul. And the stone serious look. In the mood. I've never seen anything like it. Unbelievable. When T. Hicks leaves the building, my TV goes dark.

What is this, Scott Savol tribute night ? They sang two songs that Scott did last season ( and he did both quite well too I might add ).
