Randy said the same exact thing—best singer on a TV talent show ever—last year, too. Wasn’t it for Jessica?

Remember something to that effect.

In any case he trots out his tired lines to hype a favorite . Am waiting for someone to ask him

So Randy why is it that someone who is the best singer on a talent show ever doesn’t win this contest ???

Or alternatively.

If they are the best singer on a talent show ever, why even continue to an end
let’s just declare them the winner now....

What I find puzzling is that only one of the judges (Mariah) had Candace in their top 3...even Jimmy only had her as 4th. Last year, on at least two occasions, IIRC, Jessica was hailed as having the best performance ever on Idol. And didn't Randy report that Mariah had called him (from a secret vacation getaway) to tell him that Jessica was fantastic and did her song better than she did! And let us not forget Joshua Ledet who Jennifer Lopez hailed as the best voice in 50 years!!! Speaking of Ledet, he was one of the performers at that Soul Party at the White House on Tuesday.

We’re just one result away from an all-girl top 5, which is what many of us were hoping for, as weak as the guys were and are. I personally would be okay with any of the girls winning the competition; all are very marketable. If Laz is finally put out of his misery tonight, the remainder of the season should be nothing but awesomeness by five talented young women.

I still would put Kree vs. Candice as the finale, with Angie a close third, Janelle a close fourth, and Amber a close fifth. I’ve enjoyed Janelle more and more the past four weeks, as I think she’s really found her zone, and Amber has survived being overshadowed by the other girls and has shown much promise (although her second song last night had some rough spots) and has great legs, as does Angie. :-)

“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance , baffle them with BS.”

That about sums it up. I never heard such ridiculous drivel, especially from Randy, as I did last night. Candace the best act in 12 years? Does Randy have Alzheimer’s? What about Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood,...even Fantasia,for goodness sake!

I am so over this show.

We agree.

Will watch to see who of the women wins.

There is some real talent there.

From american idol . net

Last night on American Idol 2013 the Top 6 sang two songs each and the judges were in love with Amber Holcomb and really let Lazaro Arbos have it.

What’s really interesting about that is, it’s probably going to have opposite effects on the voting results tonight. I’m not saying Amber will go home, but I think she’ll be in the bottom two and it won’t be beside Lazaro.

Like every week, it’s time to make my predictions on how the votes could play out tonight. As always, these are NOT my opinions. They’re just possible ways the results could play out based on how America might have voted.

American Idol 2013 Top 6 Results Prediction

100 Percent Safe: Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, Angie Miller

Most Likely Safe: Lazaro Arbos

Possibly the Bottom Two: Janelle Arthur and Amber Holcomb

Most Likely Going Home: Janelle Arthur

Scenario #2

100 Percent Safe: Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, Angie Miller

Possibly the Bottom Three: Janelle Arthur, Lazaro Arbos and Amber Holcomb

Most Likely Going Home: Amber Holcomb

I just don’t see it being Lazaro this week even though that’s what everyone producing the show wants. What will be really crazy is if they have a bottom three and Lazaro isn’t in it. That means Kree, Angie or Candice would be there. They’ll probably only have a bottom two, though.

Do you think I’m wrong and that Lazaro will be heading home tonight? Or will it be Amber or Janelle?

Great intro!! I tuned in last night and could feel Simon Cowell turning over in his... T-shirt! He always tried to get the singers to sound contemporary. Freaking Burt Bacharach week? His songs were old and cheesy in the 1970s!!

Angie: I love hearing what they’re saying because what they’re saying is true.


I realize I’m pretty phony and all about appearance but look at my eyes! Aren’t they gorgeous? Who cares if I don’t feel the song?

Paid per word Mariah special critique......


Well, she does have twins to support. I mean real twins.

Here is one of her generic critique scripts for any contestant:

“Well, well, (stroke your hair and arrange it over your chest) well, you know, darling -— you and I have a special bond — you know just how much I love you, and how much I respect your art, your vocal quality, and your stage presence. You have a presence that is just, not very many people can move people the way you do, and your sound is so special. I do understand what the others were saying, I see what they meant, darling, and I would just like to clarify that they weren’t trying to bring you down with all that, this is just to build you up for your next performance, to make you better at what you do, and what we love about you, and always have, because you are so unique and they way you sing is so beautiful that really there is nothing stopping you from winning this or having a great career, because nobody has a voice like you do, and the way you use it is so strong. I know you know what I mean, because we get it, you and I, we have this very special bond that no once else could ever understand and you know I’m on your side and I’m a huge fan and always will be.”

Thought you might enjoy this based on your post regarding Angie.

From comments section of Vote for the Worst

Those judges are big meanies! Come on everybody vote. We have to get rid of Bucky Beaver, and send her packing. She’s also mean to poor Laz. She is a passive aggressive bitch, and deserves to go.

A vote for Laz, is a vote for AMERICA!!!

Candace did kill it. She is my favorite. She is a genius of breath and power and vocal cords. She doesn’t lay it on too thick or resort to diva screams. She is the real deal. And I didn’t know til last night that English wasn’t her first language. Wow.

Ok, I have a question....just exactly what threads do all of you snarkers hang out on when Ai is NOT on TV? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

I will go first......I can be found in the Levin Lounge whenever rush hour traffic permits :-)


First, you should not be freezing while driving. ;)

Second, since the election I don’t freep as much. There is too great a dichotomy between freepers, who get it, and the rest of the world, who voted for Obama. I along with rush Limbaugh am more depressed about the state of this country than I’ve ever been and I am less inclined to think I can change anything. I’m quite low about it. So I will go on FR and just peruse the headlines and maybe pop into a thread that interests me, once a day or so. A lot less than before.

I’m more focusing on my kids and non political stuff lately.

I do love The Voice and I wish we had a thread on it. There is still snark to be had, but the judges especially the Best Looking Nice Jewish Boy ever, Adam Levine, and the hilarious country boy Blake Shelton, are really entertaining. And Carson Daly’s head is shaped like a banned lightbulb.

As you may recall Voice fan also.

Shakira, and Usher have been a pleasant surprise. Like their style, and chemistry with Adam and Blake
