Did you catch J Lo lowering her mike and her voice track continuing......


Immediately. She’s always lip syncing. How dare she critique other singers??

Those JLo booty photos look like she is one of those human in front, horse in back creatures.

I think they are trying to de-sensitize us, for when we are taken over by Muslims, and Ululating will be the order of the day!


See, comments like this alone are worth the price of this thread!!

I believe that was the most moving victory moment I’ve ever seen on this show. Wow.


Touching. Cookie’s win was too — wasn’t his bro dying, or just had passed?

Johnny, I’ve been so absent this season, sometimes reading the thread very late and not commenting because it is so hard to re-find your place in the thread again. fR used to take you back to where you were previously in the thread before your comment but now you are always taken back to the top of the loooong page and now I am always on the iPad.

But I want to tell you how special the thread is to me, how FUNNY you and the merry band of regulars are, and how nice it is to have two nights of fun break from real life and enjoy your company.

I wish you did another thread because I will miss you all so much before January. We watch America’s Got Talent on Monday nights. You might look and see If it interests you. They have Howard stern now and he is much better than loser piers Morgan whom Howard replaced.

And the host is nick cannon, who is very sick with lupus and a real sweetie. Tell me f you do a thread on it.

I love you, dude, and just want to say thanks for the joy your thread and you bring to us!! Group hug!!

Going to go order a dark bodysuit to wear all summer, with the thighs cut out, while. Try to lose these pregnancy pounds. Until this finale I thought I couldn’t wear such things. ;)

Re Tommy Hilfiger, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Whoever had the idea to have him give his fashion suggestions should have been fired and maybe was. After two episodes, where most of the kids ignored him totally, and one chopped off and dyed her hair for Tommy only to be immediately voted off, tommy slunk back to Macy’s with his tail between his legs, or something. Ha ha ha.

Excellent. Miss your critiques/summaries when you were able to participate live in past seasons.

jonny!

Once again this thread makes the whole AI experience worthwhile. Your talent in hosting it is amazing. You know when the lurkers voice their praise, you have a great thread:)

We may still hit 10,000 posts, and I really feel this could be my year to win it all!

I was watching the finale with two musician friends who have never watched AI before....

them: "who's going to win?"

me: "the white guy with the guitar"

them: "why?"

me: "the white guy with the guitar always wins"

I read them some of our snarky comments and we cracked up. Getting together on this thread these last few years has been a joy, a distraction, and a beautiful escape.

Thanks again for a wonderful AI year:)

You are right. Duets was boring imo. Why is everything in the key of slow? I like my music with a little gusto. Neil Diamond has no voice left - it was a total trainwreck. Skylar shouldn’t be wearing Santa Claus belts. Maybe Hilfiger did the fifty yard dash away from AI when the ratings were down. Fogarty over botoxed.

Yes, she was cuter as a blonde. I wish they would have zoomed in on the ring. Maybe that’s why their ratings are down. Whoever is directing the cameras, they are missing good stuff and the audio was bad and JLo ALWAYS lip syncs. The contestants are always better than JLo - it’s a charade that she can sing but she’s the biggest celeb per Forbes mag so who am I to judge?

It would have been extremely tacky to mention the jeweler either way. I don’t spent that much time re: AI to do research but tacky to mention the jeweler either way.

Why thank u for the mention. Lots of reading there. lol

I sing in real life and although I would have liked to turn out to be the torch singer, alas, I'm always "the cute one". I can't change it cuz my voice is all boop boop bee doop. Did you hear about my you tube? Nancy Kay Singer (Middle of an Island). That will drive the other cup of tea up the wall. Don't tell. She's okay by me too. :)

It wasn’t tacky to mention the jeweler since they made the ring to order. It was his way of thanking the jeweler for their work.

I tuned in to Duets but it lost my interest early on so I changed channels.

You are so welcome.

It's obvious that the great majority of Free Republic American Idol thread denizens despise the show...they can't stand the judges, they mock the host and the producers and they root for the performers with the least musical talent each year, reflecting the sentiments of the "Vote For The Worst" website, which has the stated goal of causing the ratings to drop so far that the show is cancelled.

The majority of Free Republic members on this thread have pulled primarily for the same performers "Vote For The Worst" has promoted over the past five years, namely:

David Cook
Chris Allen
Lee DeWyze
Scotty McCreery
Phillip Phillips

The ratings for American Idol were off significantly this year, much to the delight of the Vote For The Worst-ers. America has grown tired of the best singers only being able to place as high as second. "Vote For The Worst" has an acronym for its strategy: "WGWG."

White Guy With Guitar.

Pitchy, marginally talented, unexciting, musically dead nincompoopery masquerading as art giving the female goobers in the hinterland something to get excited about because their faves look good in a pair of jeans.

Anybody who thinks David Cook is a better singer than David Archuleta is deaf.

In my opinion, Kris Allen is every bit as good as Adam Lambert, who has no soul whatsoever. BUT! Anybody who thinks Kris Allen is a better singer than Danny Gokey is a bona fide idiot.

Anybody who thinks Taylor Hicks is better than Kellie Pickler, Chris Daughtry, Katherine McPhee or Elliot Yamin needs heavy psychological therapy.

Anybody who thinks Lee DeWyze is better than Crystal Bowersox or Michael Lynch is a musical sub-Neanderthal.

And anyone who thinks Phillip Phillips is a better singer than Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet, Shannon Magraine, Colton Dixon, Jessica Sanchez, Elise Testone, Erica Van Pelt, Deandre Breckensick or Hollie Cavanaugh needs to stop listening to music, because the music to which they've chosen to listen is destroying their ability to hear quality...and anyone incapable of hearing quality is playing a part in America's cultural demise.

That's right. I pull for the best and lambaste those pulling for the worst because I love my country.

I know you agree with me here Chunga...and thanks for not reading this!
