American Idol 2013--Live Thread

Judges need hearing aids badly.

They're definitely hearing something we're not. I can't imagine the singing sounds any better in person.

Good morning, jonny!

Thanks for the info on the top 20. I'm fast losing interest in this season. The singing is horrible and that idiot woman judge is even worse. Why the other judges let her talk so much is beyond me. I think Nikki Minaj is ruining the show. Her fake accents are just insulting.

Most nights, the show puts me to sleep by the second hour. Must be why I like Amazing Race. It's only an hour....even the finale!

Thanks Jonny.

Great graphics...

Looking forward to more “ theater” tonight, and of course some very
intellectual commentary

FWIW..just saw this..

Former Spice girl Mel B booed at "America's Got Talent" auditions

This season AGT has Heidi Klum, and Mel B. Not bad visuals here...of course, it also has Howard Stern and Howie Mandel..

So, if one had to choose between Heidi Klum and Mel B over Mariah and crazy Nicki...well..

I will state, with absolutely NO equivocation whatsoever...that the commentary on this thread is so far superior to anything heard in the halls of Congress, OR from the blue flapping gums of the idiot in chief, it is NO CONTEST! :-)

Hello!

I think Nikki Minaj is ruining the show. Her fake accents are just insulting.

I agree. Up until now they've had the luxury of editing the show to allow Minaj to ramble on as much as she wants. Now (I think) they'll be live for the rest of the season and maybe she won't get as much camera time.

The phrase “lipstick on a pig.......” (or bangs on a pig for that matter) comes to mind

Nikki would make a perfect legislator for California.
State or federal.
