Everything you said is so true. Often the judges talk about the ‘whole package’. Gayness does matter. If they don’t believe it, maybe they should ask Aiken.

What in the name of Hussein Obama happened in here last night? GEEZUZ! Remind me to put out the Prozac salt-licks before I leave next week (and I hope someone is changing the locks on the doors to keep the knuckleheads out—I mean its one thing to act horrified at our comments, but it is another thing when you do not truly appreciate the humor in our horrific comments, huh? “NUFSED” (PUN intended ;-)

Here’s what happened. Your friends over reacted and kept the personal attacks going. They were shown to be making false statements. Now you’ve come along and added to the name calling.

If you don’t want to be addressed, don’t reply. You’ll be amazed how simple it is.

I would have liked Megan Corkrey in the 3rd or 4th spot. I still would like to hear another song or two from her to see how she would sound.

Thank you! She has a unique voice, is VERY camera friendly, and has a Novel tat on her arm that would take weeks to figure out just WTF it read, not even to mention the contemplation which would have to take place about it!

She is made for celebrity, maybe not AI, but there's something about something there.

I think they should sing a different song each time. No more repeats. Some of these people sang songs that they either auditioned with or sang during hollyweird week.

Grab the pet stain remover and we’ll see if we can clean the place up before jonny gets back. ;)

By the way, I meant to add that I think Megan will get a wild cars spot.

I’m not exactly sure how they are going to do the wild cards. Sometimes it sounds like they can bring back someone from any point, including pre top 36, which would be stupid, because if they would good enough for the top 36 then they should have been there already.

Interesting thread you got here. I'm still on the ping list even though I don't participate live...

I will go on record as saying I LOVE ADAM. I think he's got a great voice and is quite entertaining. His looks are creepy but it gets him noticed.

Leave Adam alone!!!!!



My one piece of advise for all the ladies in the competition - Never go sleeveless on national tv. It will only lead to elimination (or future elimination Allison).

Just a heads up...I heard that Jason Castro will be singing on Idol on Wednesday! I am happy about that but I know I’m in the minority!

Each Idol judge will pick two top-36 contestants for Thursday’s wild card round

http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/american_idol_8/2009_Feb_26_more_wild_card

The rumors, speculation, and contradictory information about American Idol 8’s wild card round has been cleared up, mostly.

During Thursday’s results show, Simon Cowell said, “We’re going to bring back a selection of people who we think deserve a second shot—maybe they chose the wrong songs. I think we’re all in agreement, maybe a couple even from tonight you’re going to see again.”

Earlier, after talking to a show rep, MTV News reported that “each judge can pick two contestants from the top 36 — from which everyone is eligible — and those eight (or possibly nine) singers will perform a song on the one-hour March 5 show, with three advancing into the top 12. … The same rules apply as during the audition phases, with majority picks winning the day and judge Simon Cowell casting the tie-breaking vote should there be a 2-2 deadlock.”

That will all happen next Thursday. And yes, skeptical people who have e.mailed me from anonymous e.mail addresses, the wild card episode (singular) does air next week, the same week as the third and final semi-final round. The semi-final performance episode will air Tuesday, results come Wednesday, and the wild card round airs Thursday—with performances, judging, and selection apparently taking place in a single hour. Crazy. Then again, I bet they’ll still find time for some filler.

I love Jason Castro - his heart just didn't seem to be in it towards the end. But I'm a Cookie fan through and through. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I found the article that I saw earlier that made the wild cards a bit confusing.

'American Idol' aims to enliven its upcoming live shows

Simon Cowell's critical eye goes beyond American Idol singers. He says this season's first live outing was "a bit flat."

Last Tuesday's show "didn't quite gel. There were some audio issues. The lighting felt too light, too daytime," the Idol judge says. "We know what went wrong and what we're going to do to fix it."

'IDOL' CHATTER: Follow all the action in our blog

Last week's singers don't get off the hook, either. Cowell praised some performers, calling Alexis Grace a welcome "dark horse," but says "there are better singers to come" as 12 compete again tonight (Fox, 8 ET/PT) and Tuesday.

Overall, Cowell is happy with Season 8, saying changes to the semifinal structure, including the return of judges' wild-card picks, will yield better finalists. In next Thursday's wild-card round, the judges bring back eight or nine singers — not necessarily just from the semifinals — and pick three to round out the Top 12. "I think when we put the 12 together, there will be more personality, more interest and just more diversity," says Cowell, who wouldn't specify standouts.
