Ok. I'm not a big fan of American Idol, but the auditions they have are hysterical regardless of whether they're fake or not.

They just showed this guy who could pass for the Chinese DMX or something :D

Ooooh Thank for reminding me. I needed some comedy relief.

i :heart: simon

Simon pwns all of them. Even Randy's becoming bitchy along the lines of Simon. It's almost like he's Simon Cowell Jr. :shock:

I wonder who the 'simon' of evboard is?

OMG! This actually hurts my ears.

LMAO! People go on that show thinking that they're the shit. They sing in the shower and it doesn't sound that bad, but when they sing in a room of 3 judges who have measured talent (2 of which for at least 10 + years) for a long time, you don't sound as good. At all.

I give those people credit because I don't think I could sing in front of a crowd of people without shaking like a leaf.

ROFL...I love watching those auditions. They're just my laugh of the day. Seriously most of the people are hired to sing bad and the others are really bad singers who they think are good. Sad...BUT COMEDY RULES!

OMFG it's Will Boyd's lil' brother :D

j/k. It's a guy doing Dean Martin impersonations. And he got in.

Those American Idol auditions are real freakin funny. People who think that they are talented but actually not.....that's good stuff to watch. :D

HAHA I love that scooter girl! :D

A I pwns with audtions. I go to college with Keith the Like a VIrgin guy from last season. He was in my geology class last spring.

Was he the one that went to season 1 & 2 and sucked in both?

i thought that the girl that sang in front of the restaraunt was funny. ..her name started with an R i forget what it was though..
SIMON: i thought that was terrible!
restaurant girl: i'll have to disagree..
S: have you ever sung in a restaurant or bar?,..
RG: no but i've sang in public
S: i bet you if you sung in a restaurant or bar half the people would walk out
..................30 minutes later
RG: *sings terribly at a restaurant*
people at the restaurant: *slowly leave one by one*
...RG: ..bites her tounge!

and........
HAHA I love that scooter girl! :D

OMG i know..i hope she wins :P

I love the commercal...

The Asian guy singing "She Bangs" is PRICELESS

..................OMG..and in my last post i forgot alllllllll about SCAT GIRL!!!!!!!! ..she seemed nice but she totally sucked :P

Scat Girl kinda scared me.... She looked like she just woke up and went straight to the audition.

i'm surprised that no one was singing bring me to life... thank god.

If we do hear it, we will have a whole new appreciation for Amy's voice.

They are going to show the new American Idol series here in Australia...which may seem odd, cause it isn't like we can vote or anything, but people will watch it.

On Australian Idol, one of the final 12 did sing Bring Me to Life. It sounded ok, but in a way a bit stretched out - like the girl singing it <ironically her name was kelly> couldn't hold the notes well. I mean she was talented, and had her own band back in another state, but her voice wasn't strong enough for that song.
Though, let's face it, no one can sing like Amy anyway.

Btw, what did you guys think of our Aussie Idol - Guy Sebastian?

Kelly.

This is true. And as silly as it may sound it might even bring some extra sales for Ev :)

The Canadian Idol auditions were hilarious last season. There was a guy who showed up with a cape made of "Caution" and "Police Line- Do Not Cross" tape :D

I haven't watched the American Idol auditions yet (because I just got home from work), but good ol' satellite TV will fix that when I decide to get up, hooray.

I only watch the first episode of each American Idol season...who could pass up the opportunity to see such very not-talented people?

Scooter girl is officially my new hero. And I didn't think the Army girl was that bad.

OMG but did anyone see SNL on last week? I have to admit that was actually funny. O.O Well maybe the A.I. skit!

LMAO Jessica Simpson did a perfect Britney Spears impression.

I would cringe if it sounded horrible....but wut if someone did 'My Immortal' instead...since it would show the voice alot more...

I only got to watch half of American idol tonight....but it was still hilarious to me :D

i love love love this show <3

I love to laugh at the auditions part! :twisted:

I feel bad at laughing at the people.....NOT!

We'll see. A reason that they might not do an Ev song is because of royalties, but you never know. I'm curious to hear if it would happen.

Chinese DMX?! That I would've liked to have seen

I've never watched the show except for the Clay/Ruben final voting thing and cause my friend wanted to watch the damn program..he said it was funny watching people get bad comments and all.

:D reminds me for some reason. I was talking with a co-worker at work today and he said his brother listens to country music and watches programs intended for whites more than blacks. He's black. And lives in the projects...how odd is that oO

Maybe it was more Chinese Jay-Z. To be honest, I have no fucking clue. All I know is that he made a complete ASS out of himself to begin with because he was doing a soldier routine (he's a soldier), but it was all unnecessary.

OMG I saw that! XD He was rapping in Chinese though...but that was just too funny!!!

:D reminds me for some reason. I was talking with a co-worker at work today and he said his brother listens to country music and watches programs intended for whites more than blacks. He's black. And lives in the projects...how odd is that oO

Well, the thing is, we all find his brother to be a little weird. Of course there ain't nothin wrong with watching programs intended for whites more, but he just acts white, which is really weird. He's always listening to country music and stuff, the type of things he does. It's another story and you'd have to see/hear him to understand I guess...he's just weird in his own unique way oO

Anyways, what the hell? Why the hell would someone rap on American Idol? That's just like the people freestyling in 8 Mile (behind the scenes) - a guy sang a song instead of freestyling. Idiots.

Scooter girl sang a song about her scooter. It kind of reminded me of a Jewel song.

um...aren't you the asian guy who speaks in ebonics?

Haha...maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that comment. It's more of an inside joke thing..hence the odd understanding by all of you :?

Actually, there ain't much wrong with other races speaking ebonics, it's all a matter of environment and upbringings.

Other races that have an upbringing of a different culture than what one may stereotype for their race compared to a person growing up being stereotyped for their race to their personal likings, is a bit different. If you know a guy who grows up surrounded by people who listen to rap music, surrounded by violence, etc, basically, you have no communication with anything related to "country"..and yet you are completely different..oO I don't know. It's not really hilarious (at all actually) or THAT strange but it's a little odd. Just rarer I guess. Unfortunately, his brother has a liking for the dumbest movies that have gotten horrible ratings from critics and viewers and such :rolleyes: so much for this being on topic..

One of these days I'm going to have to watch American Idol, which usually airs when I'm at work :?

Scooter girl sang a song about her scooter. It kind of reminded me of a Jewel song.

She's got a good voice though when she was singing that Celine song! :shock:

I know! She was seriously weird, but had a damn fine voice! I still see no one who can take the place of my Nikki. No one did it last year, and that's why the show sucked. I liked reuban and that guy who got kicked off for the police thing, but no girl was as good as Nikki. I loved her... :D

I love laughing @ people who think they have singing talent and have absalutely none :D funny stuff..

is there something better than that???? 8)

I wonder who the 'simon' of evboard is?

I nomminate myself as the Simon of the evboard. I have told people plain and simple what i think of them or something they said. I can be rude (wihtout even trying) alot.

The auditions are the best parts. After that the shows get boring.

But like, what are you on in american now? third?

And we've just finished our second.

And there's a far bigger area to cover.

Yeah, I think it's the third.

The first was Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini? in second?

Second was Ruben and Clay...third was...oO I don't know.

Amazing how popular the show is, cause I never saw but really one episode of the program and yet I know all the winner's names.

Then again, the first season's winners...I heard about them months after they won, but still :?

I wonder who the 'simon' of evboard is?

Simon of evboard HAS to be dev. He's hilarious when he locks a post or bans a user. I don't know if its intentionally to be funny or to be serious but either way I get a laugh out of it :D

I don't know if anyone's posted on this yet, but for those who watched the auditions, yea a lot of them suck, but why the hell didn't they accept that Army chick..her voice was really good from what I heard.

And yea, scooter girl rulz!!! she's one of the best!

They did accept the Army chick... Cause she called her boyfriend/ husband or something after she came out

no... they didnt accept that army girl... but one that was alot worse than her, only dressed ...different, got it. i guess looks matter this season. and i think ruben won last time to make up for the other season's 4th? girl... that's just me. *shuts up* they all suck*cough*

----------

what's with people and "public apollogies(sp?)" these days... *snort* kill me.

yuppers, they have some funny stuff on there. the beginning is the only thing i watch.

Yeah I just saw the Atlanta auditions. Sad sad sad. I live 20 minutes from there too. *sigh*

I love laughing @ people who think they have singing talent and have absalutely none :D funny stuff..


is there something better than that???? 8)

Watching people on America's Funniest Videos. HAHA! I love it when they fall or they get hit extremely bad or something omg I fall of my bed a lot.

...America's Funniest Videos is old as hell. Unless you're talking about the one with the Hollywood Squares host...which I think you are...

Well, I never actually...FALL off my bed. Instead I'll just watch...oO weirdo...anyways, it really is amazing how people will just sign up for the auditions and think they can sing. Don't they record themselves to hear what they sound like, and THEN pop in a, let's say an Aaliyah or Dave Matthews Band album and realize the HUGE comparisons? AMAZING :shock:

all i can say is, leave "somewhere over the rainbow" to judy garland....

OMG 2 nights auditions were horrible... I felt so bad for them.. but some of them were really funny!... :oops:

oh man, i'd kill these people for making others listening to this horror they dare call "singing" if it wasn't so friggen funny. Today in math, my teacher spent twenty minutes talking about American Idol with the class, then the principal came in and she got in trouble.

A I pwns with audtions. I go to college with Keith the Like a VIrgin guy from last season. He was in my geology class last spring.

AAAGGH. They showed him again tonight.

He creeps me out so bad, I can't watch that audition.

It just makes my TV slimy.

Is he like that in person?

My friend Heffy went to the Atlanta audition, but he didn't get through.

I missed most of it tonight :(

I think I needed it tonight :(

He is really quiet at school. He did do a lot of interviews though. Q100 in Atlanta used him a lot on their morning show. Inside Edition came on day. I have friends that lived in the same Hall as him and saw the cameras. I have a friend whose roommate was Keith's roommate at the tim e of the Audition. He just woke up one day and keith was gone for like 3 days. Hmmm.

I felt bad for that girl that sang that Celine Dion song.. :( (from the 2nd night)

She was absalutely adorable , but she just couldnt sing at all.. :?

Damn. I've been at school the last two nights so I missed it. I wonder if that one site I found last season is still up? I got some pretty good vids off of there.

*is contemplating auditioning for the second Canadian Idol :D *

Yes.. I am an americal Idol ADDICT.. i cant help it... I love Simon too...

I shot Sierra Mist out of my nose when the girl sang Route 66 and she was HORRIBLE and she made the comment that she had "God on her side" and when Simon turned around and said "well god must of taken the day off" I Completely lost it! I admit the Auditions are the best part!!

"I was trying not to laugh. I was thinking of puppies being drowned, Paula Abdul naked, Randy Jackson naked."

:D

He's the best! :D

For some reasom, I have come to believe that some of the bad auditions may be staged. I mean, really, some of these people must know how God awful they sound. Someone in their family must know. Or maybe they just love public humiliation.

Yea , that chic that was on last night , the one who did the flash dance song. It looked SOOOOOO set up , even after the audition when she was with her friend.

It looked so fake..

http://www.thewestgeorgian.com/main.cfm?include=detail&storyid=412351 THis is about Keith from last season since he goes to my college.

He also said that he felt as if some people were pushed through the auditions because they were so bad.
He said the first audition went quite well with a panel of judges. The second audition was with an executive producer who told Beukelae he had an "interesting voice."

Maybe it's just me, but last season's opener was much more funnier. The horrible singers last year actually thought they could sing, while the ones now know they can't sing and are just looking for a way to be on tv.

oh that's keith, i thought he was the guy with the safety pins on his pants. creepy. but then someone in my mind went "like a virgin, uh" then he popped up touching himself... and i thought madonna in a bikini was bad... (sweptaway comment, long time ago..)

----
*gasp* i almost double posted, that's a no no.

Fookling Lee sounded just like Amy. :rolleyes:

I'M SO EXCITED, I'M SO EXCITED, I'M SO--SO---SCARED!!!!!:( :shock:

This has to do with the idiot that decided to sing in public that sang I'm So Excited.

It kind of reminded me of that Saved by the Bell episode where Jessie had that pill problem except it's this fake-ass Britney Spears voice that's MY problem.

This guy I know was supposed to be on there as one of the ones they made fun of... he had to sign a release and all... he said as long as he got on t.v..... go ahead!

LOL

Argh!! Why did they have to ruin the Shakira song!?

Oh, we have the American Idol programme broadcasted in Hong Kong too. I think the one who is responsible for the translation is... The subtitles suck. I really want to !@#%$

the show makes me laugh...all these people singing or trying to sing. But my dad grabbed the remote from me...so i couldn't watch it tonight...nor could i watch any other shows...cuz he has to watch his friggin sports. *sigh*

why the hell didn't they accept that Army chick..her voice was really good from what I heard.

I loved the army girl, she's been my favorite person so far and they didn't even let her through :evil:

Tonight I really liked the chick that they let sing for about 10 seconds before letting her through, she was good.

and yeah, scooter girl rocks!

Oh, we have the American Idol programme broadcasted in Hong Kong too. I think the one who is responsible for the translation is... The subtitles suck. I really want to !@#%$

You didn't wanna see tonight's episode that's for sure :(

That Hong Kong guy didn't do very well.

I can't wait 'til next week.

*Does funny dance*

SHE BANGS! SHE BANGS! LOL :D :rolleyes:

WTF's up with Houston? That was just...bad. Maybe I shouldn't say ahything until they get to Hawaii... ;)

It was so hilarious when that girl kept singing that Celine Dion song over and over again!

What about that one guy that was so bad that Randy, Paula, and Simon just got up and left?? That was funny, He just kept singing!! :D :rolleyes: :D

Something like this is not fair. Banning "alternative rock" songs is in my opinion a bad idea. Yeah, it's a different style from the whole pop, r & b, gospel stuff they normally do, but if you've got a voice for both, why not use it?

I guess that means I won't be finding another Nikki this year huh? :(

omg I love when that creepy girl was singing and they kept telling her to stop b/c she was too awful and she said "Just give me another chance..." and she'd start singing again and it would start thundering and lightening as soon as she started singing and Simon was like "ok stop I'm really getting scared now" hehehehehehehehehehe

MOST HILARIOUS MOMENT IN AI HISTORY:

When Randy and Simon got up fromn their chairs and the guy continued to sing to the chairs. They like zoomed up on the chairs and everything, ahahahahhaha.

:D Teh horrible peple they have on their hehehehe it is hystrerical.... I forgot that was on I will have to watch it next week... too bad they is no real talent on there. :?

Good point. There's no one who stands out this season like their was the season before and the first season.

Pixie...are you suggesting that all the good ones are staged? cause if you are...I think you're mistaken.

Seriously. But American Idol is more about pop/R&B/Gospel than anything else so don't be surprised. They are looking for singers that fit into a particular mold, rather than someone who stands out and is totally unique. :( :evil:

OMFG! They're going through all of the really obnoxiously bad ones. Fucking hilarious :D

Paula seemed to love She Bangs guy :)

Ok why do people go on this show when they cant carry a tune. I mean it is hard enough just trying to keep the tune while there is no music behind you. I don't know how people can put themselves through that. I use to do Choir and I was in a few musicals but I would never do a show like this. I feel sorry for the people when they get ripped down by the panel. That one guy i think it is simon he can be very rude. However sometimes people that are good don't even get a second chance.

I've only seen a part of this week's auditions. It's funny, but I feel so bad for them when they get turned down. There was this one guy who sang a Ricky Martin song and tried to dance to it too and the judges didn't even look at him while he was singing. He didn't deserve that.

I feel so sorry for them, i can't help but wonder... do they really think they are good?

I love laughing @ people who think they have singing talent and have absalutely none :D funny stuff..

After hearing some of these people sing I can't help but wonder, "Are they deaf, do they have $hit in their ears?"
Do they actually think they can sing? Or do they just wanna make an ass out of themselves on t.v. for the whole world to see? :confused:

I love that poor little chinese guy that sung that Ricky Martin song. He was so cute. I hate those judges for embarassing him so bad.

lmao...personally the whole show is entertaining to me..I mean this people have something seriously wrong with them if they think that they can sing....and it's not like they don't know what'll happen to them if they can't. Although I think they can be a little harsh on some people who audition, most of the time they are harsh to the people who need to come back to the real world and realize that they can't sing! lol

I feel so sorry for them, i can't help but wonder... do they really think they are good?

Maybe, but maybe not. Some probably think they're good, but I think otherse just want to give it a shot. It's kind of like "I'll audition. If I don't make it, it's ok. I had fun anway." Can't blame anyone for just wanting to have some harmless fun.

I love that poor little chinese guy that sung that Ricky Martin song. He was so cute. I hate those judges for embarassing him so bad.

How about that blonde guy with the eyebrow ring. They were laughing from the audition before him & could'nt stop. They even got Paula going. Like when your in school or somewhere quiet & something funny happens & you can't control your laughter then it's just like a chain-reaction.
Randy & Simon were acting like 2 little school boys...I felt really bad for this guy. He kinda looked like he was going to cry. You could just read his mind..."YOU A$$HOLES."

The scat girl is still my favorite. I have a vid of the She bangs guy!! :)

You know what's even funnier is that they actually pay to make fools of themselves. I don't know if people are paid to do that, but I would imagine that they do.

Maybe, but maybe not. Some probably think they're good, but I think otherse just want to give it a shot. It's kind of like "I'll audition. If I don't make it, it's ok. I had fun anway." Can't blame anyone for just wanting to have some harmless fun. Yeah i'd say that's the case most of the time, not sure about those people who won't stop singing though... :D its hard not to laugh.

kinda feel sorry for some of them, they totally believe they have talent and they dont. Makes me chuckle

I was laughing so god damn hard at that dude that sang She bangs..

It was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time....so damn good :D

Anyone watched lately?

Tonight the one girl with pink hair that sang The Power Of Love by Celine Dion blew me away, she was great. I am definitely rooting for her...and Scooter girl is still good too. :)

*edit*

OMG! They cut Scooter Girl!! :(

OOH! I went to school with that girl, Sara Silva! Someone told me she was on it, but tonight's the first time to see her. She got cut, too :(

I always thought she was good...she was a cheerleader and used to sing the National Anthem sometimes at football games. Poo...maybe she'll come back next year. Paula liked her anyway...

aww that sucks they cut scooter girl. She was hillarious and talented and what people need in this world! :eek:

Scooter Girl > The entire American Idol field.

LMAO, they have this thing in NYC about American Idol called Subway Idol and of course it's done by the Fox affiliate over here.

It's so cool. You get a chance to listen to some individuals that are talented and others that stink as bad as the Subway lol.

Yup im rehashing it!! Did anyone see last night!!! Is it me or do these people SUCK BIG BALLS!! lol i mean, Fantasia SUCKS and i cant believe Lisa L didnt make it!! This season doesnt seen to have the potential as last 2. THEY ALL SUCK!!! sorry i really like lisa and i am pissed, but I did like Matt too from the beginning.... What about Cameilla? i mean i heard that she has a hearing Disabilty~ i think it was a busted eardrum?? What are the chances that they Will sing an EV song!! lol

aww that sucks they cut scooter girl. She was hillarious and talented and what people need in this world! :eek:

Oh i saw her she really made me laugh i was in stitches watching her!!

I really dug that Camille's girls voice, shes a hottie too.. :p


William Hung rules all though!!!

She bangs she bangs!

I do really want to see Camielle open up she seems so quite but her voice is unique. i like her to but man those judges see something way in here you know they think she is going all the way

I wouldnt be surprised if she goes really far.

Like you said she needs to open up more..

I think she will get alot better as the show moves on..

somehow i got directed to a site for william hung..and i thought he was some real talent. well, like ricky martin stuff. but asian.

so i watched the video online and...cracked up..."she bangs!! she bangs!!"

the site said he got awarded a $25,000 check for a recording career or something (studio costs) and that his video will be played by Fuse?...i don't remember what i read exactly, but it cracked me up :D

today on extra i heard something about it.. i was like go fuse!!!!!....

if he was on american idol, i would actually watch the show and vote... (i don't watch the 'good' people)

she bangs, she bangs...

...i cant believe Lisa L didnt make it!!...What about Cameilla?
Lisa is a really good singer & was shocked that she didn't make it. I think people are voting for the wrong reasons. [ie - looks & personality.]
I wanted her and Cameilla (she's the girl from Hawaii -right?) to go on. Oh well.

Yea , William Hung is like a celebrity now , he recently performed at a Cal womens Volleyball game.

I will so buy his album , I predict big things for the Hung man!

Bringing this thread back to life...

Did anyone watch American Idol tonight? Leah LaBelle was kicked off. She was one of the best singers too. :(

Dude....you seriuosly need to get off.the.crack. :D
She could not sing...I mean she sings better than me...but that's not saying much! :p You could barely hear her..She so deserved to go...BYE,BYE!!..Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out! :D
I'm personally rooting for my Chicago girlie but I love John & the black dude...his name exscapes me right now, but he's from Louisianna.
Now [I]he's fucking good!
My mom got me watching this show...now I'm sorta addicted! :rolleyes:

Bringing this thread back to life...

Did anyone watch American Idol tonight? Leah LaBelle was kicked off. She was one of the best singers too. :(

I liked her too , but she did deserve to get kicked off , she totally picked the wrong song to sing. She can be better than that though..

Now if she would of sung like she did last night she would of had a fighting chance. But she sucked on Tuesday. I have a lot of faves right now its to hard to choose I love John.. and George.. and Amy.. So its so hard to choose. It will only get better. AND I so think that Jennifer hudson should of been in the bottom 3, her face.. when she sings, she can make some ugly impressions...

Yeah...George..that's his name...He's really, really good...already a star.
AND John looks like he could go pretty far.
Having a brain-melt-down....Which one is Amy?

amy adams.. the one with the pink hair..

amy adams.. the one with the pink hair..
D-oh!... ::smacks self in head:: Oh yeah...how did I forget that! LOL
I think she's alright...but not the best...I like her personality, though! :)

Yea like paula said she's suck a goofball.. and i to think that why i like John and George There personalities really come through and make them enjoyable to watch! ( i was disappointed in Amy performance.. hopefully she will pull through next week!!)

I like that camille girl , I think thats hername , shes got like a raspy voice ,its hella sexy..



The funniest shit on the show is at the end when Ryan Seacrest says"Seacrest Out!" I feel like smacking him everytime he does that...

He is such a duesch!

Yeah.... ::smacks Ryan's ass/ I mean bitch-slaps him:: j/k
...Ryan thinks he's all...COOL..now?! ha,ha!!..how funny!

omg thank you for loving the show as much as i do! i LOVEEEEE that show!!

i felt really bad last night about leah leaving, cuz she seemed so sweet, but she wasnt that great in the first place but she could've done much better.

matt rogers needs to leave.

i think jon peter lewis' voice is amazing, nice and deep, i love it! and hes soooo cute.

john stevens is adorable.

camille rules. so does jasmine.

jennifer and latoya are great. so is fantasia.

george makes me smile:)

LOL!!!!

I remember when Letterman was talking about that on Ev's show. Seagrave Out!

And it was funny until he repeated himself like 10 times :rolleyes:

Ok. I'm not a big fan of American Idol, but the auditions they have are hysterical regardless of whether they're fake or not.

They just showed this guy who could pass for the Chinese DMX or something :D

*raises arms up in an impression of william hung* she bangs she bangs!

*raises arms up in an impression of william hung* she bangs she bangs!

When I referred to the Chinese DMX, I was referring to someone else. It was a Chinese guy that was rapping. Not Will Hung, but *dances with you* oh baby when she moves! she moves! I go crazy go crazy *ok I'll stop*

Dude....you seriuosly need to get off.the.crack. :D
She could not sing...I mean she sings better than me...but that's not saying much! :p You could barely hear her..She so deserved to go...BYE,BYE!!..Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out! :D
I'm personally rooting for my Chicago girlie but I love John & the black dude...his name exscapes me right now, but he's from Louisianna.
Now [I]he's fucking good!
My mom got me watching this show...now I'm sorta addicted! :rolleyes:

Oh no you didn't. Are you just talking about her sucking on Tuesday night or are you saying that she sucks period? I think she sings very well except Tuesday she sucked.

Oh no you didn't. Are you just talking about her sucking on Tuesday night or are you saying that she sucks period? I think she sings very well except Tuesday she sucked.

LMFAO!!! "oh no you didn't" :D
ha-ha-ha-ha!!! I think she can sing....her tapes of her in the choir were good...but on the show...you can't hear her!
lol :D I think she sucked on the show! sucked, sucked, sucked! ha-ha!!! lol ;)

ha-ha-ha-ha!!! I think she can sing....her tapes of her in the choir were good...but on the show...you can't hear her!
lol :D

Oh I see. I was starting to think that you didn't have an ear for good singing. ;)


As for John, he's like Clay Aiken. He's cute and geeky and he has a weird singing voice. I think he can go far in the competition but there are better singers than him. Personally, I think this season has better singers than the previous seasons. Anyone else agree?

I personally dont think the world is ready for another Clay Aiken lol... I dont know im not crazy about John the redhead.. yes his voice is different but i dont think he is a voice that everyone enjoys and can listen too... like randy said... Kind of just boring!

Oh god!...don't even get me started on Clay Aiken!!! :eek:
He is a Barry Manilow wannabe!...seriously....he reminds me soo much of him, the way he moves, sings, acts...just about everything....
I know a lot about Barry because my mom has tortured me w/ his music since birth...ha-ha!!
She's a Barry Manilow groupie....it's too, too funny!!
Now all these other groupies of BM are into Clay now.
He could be their son or worse...grandson....
ha-ha!! :D

Anyone else watch AI tonight? There were a lot of good performances but I think that Amy and Jennifer did the best especially because the category was very difficult tonight: Country. :eek:

I knew Amy would pull through this week!! She's my girl... lol I am not a big fan of Jennifer Hudson. I just dont know what it is... but country is always a hard song to cover.. if your not a country singer. But hey its over with and done. I agree with what Simon said... America loves John Pete Lewis.. and i think that is the way they feel about Camille too... guess we will just have to wait until tomorrow!!

Country totally killed everyone except....Latoya and Amy....WOW! they were really good..
..everyone else=blah.....

In motown week:

I was very surprised that John Stevens didn't leave. Not even went in bottom three. He was awful. In other way, Amy was very much better than him. I guess he has the greatest fan base ever in USA. There's no way that everybody thought he was great. I guess that if he did that in audictions, he would be called to "Uncensored, Uncut" amidst Will Hung and several like he.

Yeah, i am shocked that amy got voted off. I was really sad. My shocker was i couldnt believe Latoya got in the bottom 3, just goes to show you what afan base can do! I am ready for John Steven, and Jennifer hudson to get the boot. I just dont like Jennifers attitude how she walked up on the stage with her hand on her hip with an attitude... eww. But my fave boy is still there. John Peter Lewis.. i voted for him and i actually got through onthe first ring. i was shocked!

i like john stevens, i think he's pretty good. but he did terrible on motown night.

the theme for tuesday is Elton John, so hopefully this will be a bit more interesting.

That John Stevens kid has GOT to go.....He's absolutley horrible :mad:

i can't stand jennifer (same reason as Kaydee420), and since she's from chicago the news are always like "how did out jennifer do?" and crap like that.

i usually watch the last five minutes... i liked matt(?) the simon when you touch me guy... :( he's gone now :(

another one i can't stand is.. i dont know her name... i hated that she said something like "i'm going to win because of my lips" i mean, what the hell?

person i think will win: no idea
person almost too good to be on that show: latoya ( i think that's her name, the one with 'a cat on her head'. i thought her hair looked nice...

i think people are too hard on camile. i think she has GREAT potential and she is very talented, but her nerves are getting to her. i feel bad because i know she can do much better. she is also very sweet, did u guys see the look on her face when ryan said she was safe last week? she looked so grateful, it was adorable.

I totally Agree about Camile. If she does ever get voted off i think it will be because of her nerves and the lack of ability to open up. But little by little she does do it everyweek
Matt~ Where to begin. I agree with Simon he is camera happy. BUT He had a good voice, I dont know about other people but the Simon Jokes got old real fast. yeah they were cute but i think what threw me in was when clay was there and he asked him a question and he started talking about Simon being in his dreams, thats when i was done with it~

Anyone else watch tonight? Most of the performances sucked especially JPL and John's. I was really impressed by Latoya and Jennifer. Latoya is my new favorite. :D

i'm so ashamed. i did watch it.

i didnt see the first 2 guys though. and the girl with the flower... i feel like throwing something at her.

comments on jennifer: ... my hand is prettier... :o

the show sucked.

it was terrible. john stevens was atrocious. ive never seen anything liek that in my life. but i ended up feeling bad for him, and camile too. i was dissapointed with her, i know she can do much better.

Ok i have had this "grudge" against Jennifer. But last night she did sing her heart out I was really impressed!!
Camile... I agree with what simon said... I think she sang her last song... she just not cut out for it John Peter Lewis- He puts his heart and soul in it everytime he sings I voted for him bc i want to see someone like him the american idol... I want something different! I think John Stevens went out and did his thing, he might have sucked but atleast he steped out of his box...
Tamara Gray is going to be on tonight~

Jasmine is good, Camille is alright, but since they are from hawaii, they are always on the news, it gets irrating when half the news is devoted to "hawaii's own..."

Ugh, the John's and Camille were just horrid. HORRID. Did anyone hear that vowel Camille sang? She went from like yellow brick road to a vowel like ewuh or something when she sang through it.

Ugh, the John's and Camille were just horrid. HORRID. Did anyone hear that vowel Camille sang? She went from like yellow brick road to a vowel like ewuh or something when she sang through it.

ha-ha!! YES! LOL
It sounded like a dying dog.
I voted for Jennifer, Latoya and......shit...the guys name...the black guy...damn!...how could I forget his name...He rawks!

I like that girl from Hawaii...I think her name is Jasmine.
Her voice is purrty...

I like that girl from Hawaii...I think her name is Jasmine.
Her voice is purrty...

yep, she won this local contest, called "the road to fame", I think she is good...

She has nice voice...but she didn't sing all that well last night.

She has nice voice...but she didn't sing all that well last night.

I thought she did, I dunno what you were listening to... :D

ha-ha!! YES! LOL
It sounded like a dying dog.
I voted for Jennifer, Latoya and......shit...the guys name...the black guy...damn!...how could I forget his name...He rawks!

That would be George. :) He sang very well last night but Jennifer and Latoya killed it. I'm upset that the judges weren't too impressed with Latoya's performance.

i can never understand what the hell camile is singing! her diction is really bad.

I used to like camille.now i dont lol. she has been sucking for a wile. I like Jennifer most, Diana DeGarmo 2nd and Jasmon 3rd.

Woo Hoo !! Atleast America got it right tonight! but i agree with Paula, she does have a nice R&B voice she should really persue that! :D

That would be George. :) He sang very well last night but Jennifer and Latoya killed it. I'm upset that the judges weren't too impressed with Latoya's performance.

Why can't I ever remember his name?
He is really awesome. <3

Oooo American Idol is pissssing me off lately. Those two white guys on the show need to get their asses booted off asap b/c they are the sux0rs. I cringe everytime I hear either of them sing. The redheaded guy is so boring and so bland and so awful I just want to fling myself into the fireplace when he sings and that other guy...there just aren't words to describe how awful he is. WHYYYY IN GOD'S NAME ARE THOSE GUY STILL ON THE SHOW?

Oh...I know...the two Johns....
They do both suck.....OMG...
Who the hell is voting for these guys?
Do they feel sorry for them or something?

feel sorry for them? I feel sorry for me and for everybody else who has their ears invaded by the horrible sounds of their voices! I think their mothers must be voting 10,000 times for them or something

feel sorry for them? I feel sorry for me and for everybody else who has their ears invaded by the horrible sounds of their voices! I think their mothers must be voting 10,000 times for them or something

I believe that they have a rule or something that doesn't let you vote more than once from the same phone-line.

ok then it's a conspiracy....by whom I don't know but it has GOT to be a conspiracy...or perhaps so many ppl have listened to "artists" like Brittney Spears and others for so long they don't get bothered by hearing ppl sing off key

ok then it's a conspiracy....by whom I don't know but it has GOT to be a conspiracy...or perhaps so many ppl have listened to "artists" like Brittney Spears and others for so long they don't get bothered by hearing ppl sing off key

Ha-ha!! lmao....They probably got their whole families and all their friends calling from regular, land-line and cell phones...so that could add up to a lot of votes...

Although Camille was terrible last night, the Johns were much worse. If both of them aren't gone in the next two weeks, then I will stop watching, period.

I believe that they have a rule or something that doesn't let you vote more than once from the same phone-line.

No my sweet , you can vote as many times as you want from the same phone line....theres probly about 10 people in the whole world who are just voting there pathetic little asses off for these two wanks... :p

I agree completely -- the red-headed kid was so horrible on Tuesday I had to turn the channel! It actually hurt to listen to him! Plus, his choreography was so...I don't know how to describe it except robotic...I'd half expect to see Dr. Evil moving around in a similar fashion... :rolleyes:

I think people are voting for i guess you could say personality more than how talented someone can sing. Just to show they put latoya in the bottom 3 the week before last. Think about it Season before last They voted off Tamara Gray and kept what was her name Nikki (the pink headed one) I think people look more into than just a voice.

to me those John guys have no personality either and they are ugly and untalented and should be off the show right now. period

Plus, his choreography was so...I don't know how to describe it except robotic...I'd half expect to see Dr. Evil moving around in a similar fashion... :rolleyes: yea i can't believe he's made it this far! who's voting for him??? i'd like to know lol

yea i can't believe he's made it this far! who's voting for him??? i'd like to know lol
true to that, ive hated him from the beginning. I couldnt believe it!!

Like Simon said i cant remember word for word his smart ass comments.. but he said that John Peter Lewis is pretty much the underdog...and America is gonna keep him around for awhile. People like him for some reason and he is gonna go somewhere... just because he doesnt have the looks, go back to his "A Little Less Conversation" performance. He brought a side out of him that everyone loved. I think it took that one performance for a lot of people to say i want him as my American Idol Yeah he couldnt dance but he tried. Just wait and see i strongly believe he is gonna stay awhile.

i like john peter but i definitely think that everyone else is better. my final 2 are george & diana!!!
They're my favorites, too! If I had to choose right now, though, it would be George for sure! Everything about him is so sweet and that voice!!! ::melts::

George most definetly, i love the bounce! when he bounces i bounce. it hilarious my dog looks at me like i am crazy!

They're my favorites, too! If I had to choose right now, though, it would be George for sure! Everything about him is so sweet and that voice!!! ::melts:: yea he's adorable! i really hope one of em makes it.. i think i should start voting

Diana is my favorite.

I thought it was so unfair to her get on bottom three second time. She has the greatest voice in the show. Wasn't her best week the last one. But I know she will come back stronger in movie songs week.
I'm shocked that John Stevens didn't get one single time in bottom three. People votting for looks, not talent. It will be a lame final if that keep going. Because he can't grow anymore. Different from Fantasia, Jennifer, Diana and George.

this article says it ALL. amen and all that stuff

I totally agree with that too, but what is funny is that article said EVERYTHING that i said in my previous post. People love geeks!!! What can you do~ I think people want someone different for their American Idol...
Kelly Clarkson,yeah she had a great voice but she was BORING
Clay/Ruben that season was messed up. Alot of Rumors were flying we all know that Aiken should of been The Idol!!
I think people are rebelling bc Clay wasnt the idol you are right Bjork, now that i think about it, It is a conspiracy, all the Aiken Fans are calling in for John Peter Lewis to get back at them for not making Clay the american idol lmao It only makes sence!!!

What did you all think of tonight's performances? I loved Jennifer's performance. I don't understand why the judges were so amazed over Fantasia's performance. It was good but not all that good.

I agree with the judges with Fantasias performance. it was really moving. When do u ever see someone cry and say "i felt my song" I thought it was beautiful and I AM NOT a Fantasia Fan either! I think they should just hire Tartentino To be a Permanent Judge! He was great! I was happy to see the JPL was back in action again last night. I think i am getting to the point of where i am sick in tired of hearing Ballads. I Like how Diana (which she didnt do last night) always does the upbeat songs. They are what i like. Ballads over and over just get on my nerves! :D

I think they should just hire Tartentino To be a Permanent Judge! He was great!

No!! They can't do that! I cringed whenever he spoke. ::shudder:: :(

I agree with the judges with Fantasias performance. it was really moving. When do u ever see someone cry and say "i felt my song" I thought it was beautiful and I AM NOT a Fantasia Fan either!
I know! She was great...and I really dislike her as a person...that ego -- oy! :rolleyes:

Even though George wasn't on his game he still rocked the house. ::melts:: :p

Who do you think will go home tonight? i hate to say it, but i think Diana will go home.. even though she is one of the best ones..

I think Simon was incredibly rude to Jasmine, John Stevens and Diana last night when he said they were kids trying to be adults. I mean, how are the suppost to act? like little children?? I found Simon's comment dumb.

Who do you think will go home tonight?

Either Diana or Jasmine... They both have nice voices but not nice enough.

I think Diana has one of the best voices in the competition.. but her performance wasn't that great last night.

What was up with Quentin Tarantino last night? he was actually mean to her! saying "so what?" to it. hmm..

wasnt it diana, jasmine and Camile in the bottom last week? but really it hasnt been that consistent with who is there, except diana shes been there a couple of times. I dunno, Im curious to see where JPL placed i mean he strutted his stuff

He did well last night, but im sorry he's cute and everything, but he really doesnt compare with the other 7 contestants there.. even though i love the sound of his voice!

Ok. JPL is gone. I now know who the top 4 is though. :)

:( my boy is gone i soo sad! lol Yeah there is no doubt who the top 4 will be... the question is who is gonna pull out on top. its gonna be close...

I think that the red-head-John should have been gone...weeks ago!!!

I liked JPL...he made me laugh...I loved when he danced...
LMFAO

jasmine should've been in the bottom 3, not diana

this is such BS!!!!!!!! get rid of john stevens before friggin jon peter lewis.. john stevens only has one friggin tone... GET HIM OUTTA THERE. sorry but IMO stevens shouldve been gone a long time ago. who the hell is voting for him???

I know right. I dont see what people see in John Stevens. HE SUCKS BALLS!!!!he just doesnt have anything to offer to the table. and i agree with Simon i dont think is old enough in his case. NOW i dont agree with that point with Diana and Jasmine. They are ready.. But l do think that soon enough we will see JPL. Someone is going to sign him no doubt. Bc America Loves Geeks!!!

john stevens only has one type of style.. and thats dean martin & frank sinatra type music BLAH . thats why i want to know who is voting for him? i think diana is beyond amazing & so is jasmine. im just wondering who's gonna win now.. the voting is so off of what i thought it would be. maybe i should start voting now..

Poor JPL! He deserved to stay on -- I thought he was great on Wednesday...at least better than he's ever been. He does fill a void in pop music today, that's for sure. He'll get signed...

Now, as for that robot they call Jon Stevens -- how in the flying f%$# does he get to stay??? It's ridiculous! Are all the tone-deaf redheads in America voting for him (no offense to any tone-deaf readheads on Evboard...)
<----Tone-deaf brunette ;)
I just hope my Georgie can blow everybody away next week. I think he really deserves this.

i agree 100%!!! i thought jon peter was awesome on wednesday!! he's a really good performer and people like him. i want to beat up all the people that are voting for stevens, i really do. or at least shake em & ask why lol

I agree with you guys about JPL and John Stevens.. but they're still both not nearly as good as the rest of the contestants

Oh! I forgot to mention it earlier, but what was up with that random skanky performer at the beginning? I know she was an Idol cast off, but wtf was with her belly-dancer people??? This is a family show!!! It seriously ticked me off! It was like "Hi, I can sing well but have no stage presence to back it up. Ergo, my scantily clad hoochie mamas & daddies will writh about me so as to make you think I kick serious ass" Not. Even. Close. :mad:

Heh. Christina Christian. She can't sing. My sister and I made fun of her when she was a contestant on season 1. It was great to see her back so we could laugh even harder.

She was BAD last night!!

she was from the first season, she got 6th place I think.. she was never any good, I have no idea why the hell she has a record deal.

Wow, Jennifer Hudson blew me away last night! What an amazing voice...and she finally got the "gospel jaw" under control! ;)

What's wrong with George? His voice sounded hoarse...he just wasn't himself! Pony up boy, you have to win this thing! :D

Oh. My. God. Jon Stevens makes me wish I were deaf. "OoOoO MaAandy...weEll you gaAve and yoooo gaAave without taAking..." Kill me now. Obviously, every 13 yr old girl in America is voting for him out of sheer desperation for a contestant with sex appeal. Wake up kids -- it ain't Stevens. Wasn't the look on his face priceless when Simon told him he looked like Stan Laurel? He had no clue if that was a compliment or a diss! It was great! :D

I was watching ET and they say that there is gonna be a major upset tonight... so imma thinkin its not gonna be John Stevens being voted off tonight?!?! I guess we will just have to wait and see!!!! But i really hope he does.

I thought Latoya and Jennifer did great last night. John Stevens sucked. He's gone tonight for sure. *prays*

Maybe the big upset will be george? he was terrible last night.

Yeah, those auditions are HILARIOUS sometimes.
I loved the chinese dude who sang & "danced" to that Ricky Martin song....LMFAO!
"She bangs, she bangs" THAT DUDE WAS HYSTERICALLY FUNNY!

That funny chinese guy is william hung. There is a thread on him somewhere. he still makes me laugh everytime i see him.
Access Hollywood... the producer or someone like that said that America is going to Shock America tonight. That America got it wrong tonight. Which makes me believe even more the John Stevens is staying. There is one in every idol that really sucks but they just keep them around for some god awful reason. Access Hollywood said that the Divas are running the show. So imma thinking that it could be george... which i really hope it isnt! He always makes me smile!

Big upset? Hell yes.

I can't believe Latoya, Jennifer, and Fantasia were in the bottom 3. What the hell...

To make matters worse, Jennifer (my favorite) is gone. "Anger" doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling.

This show must be rigged...

:( :(

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
What is going on!!!! HERE!!! Talk about a MAJOR SHOCK!!!! my jaw literally dropped to the floor!!!!!!!When He asked George to stay with the safe group and Ryan was like Wrong group i thought you have to be shitting me. I cant believe it, When Ryan said Lets find out who is safe i was like Fantasia Fantasia ( bc i like her out of the 3) And her was like Latoya London... so i prayed the it would be Jennifer to go home... bc i never liked her attitude...and it was jennifer ive never heard the audience that silent before. Even though i didnt like her... i mean her voice was awesome... I guess it really is a popularity contest...

yessssssss she's finally gone. i can't wait to see the news "our jennifer boo-hoo ..." i'm so voting for the redhead next week. i really hope he wins. ( i dont even know how he sings, but people say he's bad... so yeah...) go redhead. :p

I can't believe Jennifer got voted off. :mad: :( she was one of my favorites . At first her voice wasn't as noticible but now she started to get really really good. Its not fair and not only was Jennifer voted off Fantasia and Latoya were in the bottom three??? :confused: What is going on here?

Big upset? Hell yes.

I can't believe Latoya, Jennifer, and Fantasia were in the bottom 3. What the hell...

It became a popularity contest when Tamyra was voted off.

I can't believe Jennifer got voted off. :mad: :( she was one of my favorites . At first her voice wasn't as noticible but now she started to get really really good. Its not fair and not only was Jennifer voted off Fantasia and Latoya were in the bottom three??? :confused: What is going on here?

I have to agree, she got better and better every week. All three didn't deserve to be there tonight. George, John and Diana did IMHO.

Maybe the people are getting sick of Gospel?

i can't BELIEVE jennifer got voted off. i was literally screaming when ryan seacrest told george he was in the wrong group.
people must be deaf if they are voting for jon stevens. he COMPLETELY sucks!!

i was not amused by the show tonight. :(

OMFG!!! Who is voting for JOHN?!?! WTF!!!
My Chi-town girlie...Jennifer was fucking awesome....that's it...whoever voted really sucks ass!! :D

John was the one that needed to go...AND he knew it...you could see it in his face..like the last 3 weeks or so..

Oh.fucking.well.

*bans american idol from my tv*

I wouldn't be surprised if John makes the final 2 or wins American Idol.

I wouldn't be surprised if John makes the final 2 or wins American Idol.

If he goes any further....I am done watching...really...

I thought about that. Imma give America one more chance. If they fuck it up next week i am done!!! Maybe they were rebelling. Like Paula said maybe the JPL fans shifted over to John Stevens.

i was soooooooo pissed off last nite. im so through with american idol.. i really am. ryan was right when he said this isnt a popularity contest so start voting for the real talent. who the hell is voting for john?? i want to kill em all!!! i'm done.. i've had it.

as much as i hate jon stevens - i do feel kind of bad for him. the judges basically said his name when they were asked what they thought of the bottom three. it's gotta be hard for him to sit there when everyone around him thinks he shouldn't be there.
don't get me wrong though - i still think he should be voted off....

i agree but he knows he's the worst out of the group. he had the surprised look on his face when he realized he was in the "safe" group.

i was soooooooo pissed off last nite. im so through with american idol.. i really am. ryan was right when he said this isnt a popularity contest so start voting for the real talent. who the hell is voting for john?? i want to kill em all!!! i'm done.. i've had it.

I was so pissed off! John Stevens barely is able to sing at all, let alone is he worthy of a record deal. Ugh!!! Amy said in an interview that she though AI was just a glorified kareoke contest, and at first I didn't agree but it sure seems like that's what it's turning into. GOD I HATE DUMB PEOPLE!!! New rule: The next person who says John Stevens a) can sing or b) should win will have his or her ass kicked by me, no questions; no mercy. I am so frosted right now!!! :mad:

I hate to say this, but I almost wonder if this was racial. The three strongest singers end up in the bottom three, and the common denominator is that they're all black women. :( Jennifer was really talented; there's just no reasonable explanation for her departure...

If you watched Et or access last night. They show John Stevens stay to jennifer It should of been me. they did this HUGE story.

You really shouldn't bring racism into this. This has nothing to do with it, hence Ruben winning last season.

Amy's right, it's a popularity contest, and until viewers learn that sometimes producers will mix up the votes to shock people, they will continue to do it!

I'm not saying that was the reason at all, but it was something that could easily jump to mind.


I still am dumbstruck that Jennifer's gone -- irregardless of the reason it's still appalling. :(

Aah ok, guess I misread your post. I really doubt that it was racism, it just that all 3 splitted votes, since they are all "divas."

Voting system stinks for ‘American Idol’ Fans should pick who they want eliminated so untalented singers don't stick around "American Idol" John Stevens is still on the show, despite forgetting the words to "King of the Road" in an earlier episode and often being criticized by the judges.

It's not news that "American Idol" isn't a meritocracy, given its long history of injustices. The Fox reality show wasn't through its first season before it elevated plastic punk-rocker Nikki McKibbin over powerhouse Tamyra Gray, and the lengthy run of hunky Marine Josh Gracin in the second season still boggles the mind. "Idol" is, however, supposed to be a democracy. Power to the people and so forth. Unfortunately, more and more, "Idol" is not about the people. It is about the People.


Who are the People? You know them if you've been where rabid "Idol" fans gather. They are the Ruben People. The Kelly People. And, of course, the People who perfected Peopledom: the Clay Aiken People. They scream. They go to war with opposing factions. They trade stories of meeting a guy who knows a guy who met the contestant's father, who turned out to be just the nicest, sweetest guy! They trade low-quality MP3 files of contestants' bootlegged high school choir practices and try to give away sample CDs to unsuspecting strangers on the subway.

They scream. They go to war with opposing factions. They trade stories of meeting a guy who knows a guy who met the contestant's father, who turned out to be just the nicest, sweetest guy!



Unlike the general public, which would probably be capable of trimming a list of candidates down to a serviceable pop singer by the end of a season, the People are systematically ruining it for everyone. The People must be stopped.

Witness again this week's "Idol," when Jennifer Hudson was tossed in a bottom-three group that included two of the competition's best talent -- Fantasia Barrino and LaToya London. Meanwhile, escaping elimination was redheaded born-behind-his-time crooner John Stevens. Stevens has consistently been ripped by the coaches after so many flat tunes and even forgetting words during his performance last month. It was a ridiculous result, and although I can't prove it, I blame the People.

To understand why People are powerful, you have to understand the basics of "Idol" voting. Voting is free, and you can vote as many times as you can get through. And we're not talking about voting two or three times, either. The People redial constantly for the entire time that the phone lines are open. Remember, you don't vote for contestants to be eliminated; you vote for the ones you like. A good stable of People, therefore, can take a performer several rounds farther than his talent or his general appeal ever would have.

Horsing around Stevens is a perfect example of a guy who really isn't very good, but has People anyway. They're the ones who fell in love with him -- how, I don't know.

America cringed, but his People found his voice solid, and from here on out, they cannot be swayed by any number of mediocre showings. He could get up on stage in a given week, wave, spit on the floor, and leave, and they would dutifully vote for him for two solid hours. So far, they're keeping him in the game.

You see, People don't really care about the performances week to week. They treat "Idol" like a horse race. Pick your horse, bet on your horse, cheer for your horse. And, in some cases, carry your horse across the finish line. Above all, tolerate no suggestion that your horse has shortcomings.

He acted like a jerk? He's misunderstood! He sang badly? He has a cold! He has irritating, cloying, obnoxious mannerisms? That's what you love about him! No one understands him! Everyone is jealous of him!

The problem with People, of course, is that they don't respond to talent so much as to the ability to attract vaguely obsessive personalities. Instead one of the rules of People is that People love geeks. They love underdogs, they love losers, and they love everyone who is picked on by Simon Cowell. Many mid-level performers struggle in the early rounds, but the real stinkers? The ones it hurts to listen to? They've always got People.

Another rule of People is that they favor the young. This is why Stevens and Diana DeGarmo — both 16 — have People. So did last year's underage nightmare, Carmen Rasmussen. To put it delicately, a lot of People share demographic characteristics with 16-year-old contestants, and, all other things being equal, support them enthusiastically, talent notwithstanding.

Vote for the worst, not best
So who cares? Why not let the People take over? Not everyone with People is untalented. Shouldn't those who care passionately be allowed to determine the outcome? In a word, no. It is past time to put an end to the reign of the People.

Voting that is driven by the People, after all, rewards a level of fanatical devotion that generally cannot be sustained over any significant period of time. Being a Person is a full-time hobby, but you can't make it a career. Thus, the exposure that "Idol" offers is wasted on the commander of whichever fan base can remain the most fanatical for a period of a few months, while performers who might actually develop into long-term prospects — as Gray might have, and as London might — wash out because the admiration for them is wide but not sufficiently deep. And by "deep," I mean, "blessed with large quantities of free time."

It also detracts from the show to see better performers kicked off in favor of poorer ones. Sure, some of the disastrous auditioners in the first episodes are amusing, but no one wants to watch an insipid voice linger week after week. No one wants to see a kid who's in way over his head struggle through Big Band night being berated by Simon and screamed for by — you guessed it — his People.

So what's the answer? How can it be stopped? Fairly simply, as a matter of fact. Votes shouldn't be cast for who you like; they should be for who you want to see eliminated.

I have absolutely no doubt that the People would attempt to coordinate their efforts — they would conspire in their various online speakeasies to vote for one particular person in an effort to protect their darling. But it wouldn't be as easy to do, and they would at least be at risk of some other group of People choosing their guy as the target of the week.

Elimination-oriented, "Survivor"-style voting may not be an ideal solution. It's nice to think that you can succeed by accumulating fans, rather than by avoiding the wrath of detractors. It is also possible that the People might turn even uglier as they zeroed in on targets. But in the end, the best way to avoid the injustice of the steady, relatively solid performer being eliminated while a far inferior one advances is to sap the power of the People.

Thank you so much for that article -- it says it all! :(

the fact of the matter is , is that it is a popularity contest...But that still doesnt explain why that nitwit red headed dude is still there.


Seacrest Out!!1

I hate the way they keep referring to ONLY Fantasia, Jennifer and LaToya as "divas".. In my opinion, Diana Degarmo is just as vocally talented as the other three. Why doesn't she ever get credit for her singing abilities?

The meaning of "Divas" was destroyed a long time ago. Have any of you watched Diva's Live on VH1? Half those chicks don't deserve to be there..

That's one of my favorite parts of the show. In the beginning where they show all the auditions :)

All of the performances last night sucked. I really don't care who goes home tonight. It's not the same since Jennifer got kicked off.

This time I'm really hoping John stevens will finally get kicked off. He really doesn't deserve to be there.
:mad:

The show is getting to the point were I really don't want to watch it anymore.
They have kicked off one of the best in the competition (Jennifer Hudson) just as she was getting really good. :mad:

Me weither i really dont care... But if Stevens stays around... Its gonna get ugly. I have alot of respect for what Simon said last night toward Stevens He takes the critiques like a man. Not once has he bad mouth Simon. I really think last night performances were more on the "fun Side" It was latin music. I think it was nice for them just to go up there and perform. NOT JUST SING! Diana Rocked too last night. She hit that rap part Nice.. I was proud of her

If Stevens doesn't go this week, this show has to be rigged then. Latoya London should win the whole thing because she has been solid thru the whole contest but anyone at this stage is more deserving than Jon Stevens. Nice kid but the show isn't called Dean Martin Idol.

the show is NOT rigged! it's the little 12 year old girls that are voting dozens and hundreds of times for John Stevens!

And about last night, fantasia sucked, george was good, latoya was ok, john sucked, jasmine was ok, and diana was AMAZING! she's my favourite.

I personally like jasmine and diana the best, i didnt like jennifer, im glad shes gone. I think fantasia or w/e her name is will win, although she bothers me for some reason.

I get info on my Pager ... and i just got a page that says that Elton John thinks that the viewers are being Racist... Ok so, why hasnt George Huff ever been in the bottom 3.... Hmmm... think about that one.

...and two weeks ago (I think) the top 3 people were black. STFU Elton.

That was a really dumb comment made by Elton John, has he not been watching the show lately? the black contestants have been dominating the competition!

update: john stevens was just voted off, it was sad but it was time he left. Diana is safe! yeah!!

I think these types of shows are a sad commentary, on just how desperate we are as a society, for our own "15 minutes" of fame. I find it tragic, that someone will willingly go before an audience of some 15 millions televised viewers, and make a complete ass out of themselves. Then, to top it off, allow some other talentless smuck, who has never even competed in the same genre, sit there and openly critize them, without ever having participated themselves.

SPOILER........................................... ..............

















































John is gone this week. Jasmine, George, and him were the bottom 3 tonight.

i'm sooooo glad jasmine wasn't voted off.

::is happy that John was voted off::


FINALLY.
