Kelli in TN Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Okay, since I dissed Dolly Parton last week, I think I will just go for broke. I don't like Mariah Carey. I think her vocal range is amazing but her song lyrics are usually lacking in depth and I don't care for the the sl*tty way she dresses and portrays herself during performances. I think the way she markets herself distracts me from her absolutely stunning vocal range. I think its a pity, really. I would love to enjoy her music. I could listen to her voice all day, if I could pick the songs. Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah in FL Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 But the story with his bro is just so touching, how can one not feel empathy toward him. What story have I missed?? I really like David Cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofSeven Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 But the story with his bro is just so touching, how can one not feel empathy toward him. What story have I missed?? I really like David Cook. He was in the audience for the first time last night, that's why DC was tearing up at the end of his performance. The story, as I've heard it, is that his brother is the musician in the family but was too ill to try out for AI, so DC said he'd go "on his behalf". I guess DC didn't think he'd go this far. Anyway, if you look closely on his white guitar, he's etched his bro's initials. It's all very sad and touching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Mariah Carey images to see some of her wardrobe selections. And have you ever seen one of her videos? I have not seen many but I know that at least one or two are shot with her rolling around in bed. Hmmmm....nothing says professionalism like rolling around in bed. It makes me kind of sad. I think she limits herself with her performance antics. Have you ever listened to her vocal range? It.is.simply.amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna T. Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I found David Cook's performance on youtube. I don't think I've ever heard that song before. I'm not sure I got it either, Oak Knoll Mom. I definately didn't get the one from last week. I'm not sure about the story about DC. He has a band and you can hear some of their music on youtube. I guess I'm just showing my age, because I love the DC songs that I've actually heard before but this new stuff is making me feel old. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkgumby Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Carly's outfit was lowcut, but I thought she looked a lot nicer . . . more approachable, maybe . . . than she usually does.

HS mom Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I think the singers should have to sing Dolly and Mariah so that the viewers can get a good feel for their range. Being a star is about so much more than having a good voice." FWIW, I think Carly will be next. Well, Dolly should sing Mariah, and Mariah should sing Dolly. And then Tony Bennet should come back and sing something by them, too. ;) I would love to see Jennifer Lopez sing any of those... :tongue_smilie: ...and about Carly- could very well be...

Jennifer in NH Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I think it will be Syesha tonight. Bottom 3 might be Syesha/Brooke/Carly or maybe Kristy. I think Kristy is about the only one of the girls who is actually getting better! Now, I still don't like her, but the last few weeks she has really stepped it up! Of course, I still can't get "8 days a week" out of my mind! I thought Carly looked better last night too. Those high waisted pants were really awful! This season is amazing! I sure do hope they keep all the guys left until the end! Jenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Maria will be fully-clothed for ds 12's sake (her outfit last night was terrible!!). I've taken a liking to David Cook -- ever since his beautiful voice during Shout To The Lord.

HSMom2One Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 and the 3rd from the top could be just about anyone at this point. :lurk5: Unlike most of you, I do like Carly and I think she will go far after this show. She has the talent, passion and desire to work hard and make it. She will really benefit from all this exposure. Even so, the guys are really the best this season, and I'm a die hard David Cook fan. David A.'s voice is wonderful, but his personality just doesn't shine with star quality. He should have waited about a decade to grow up first before trying out -- don't you think? He's still too much of a little kid. Can't wait for tonight! Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS mom Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Did anybody notice that David Archuleta semed a little tired last night? I love his voice and think he's amazingly talented. More, I think he's a wonderful young man; so sincere, caring, thoughful and intelligent. But I think this contest is too much for these younger teens. Just too much pressure. I thought it was sweet of David Cook to go and sit down with him. It seems that the contestants couldn't hear what Ryan was saying, and David A. seemed unable to hear even after the group that was safe heard. Next week, Andrew Lloyd Webber will be coaching. That should be a good show. I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like she had made notes from dress rehearsal and was using those. Weird. Just weird. I loved David Cook, as usual. Syesha really does need to head to Broadway after this. Jason was as cute as ever, but I only liked his first song. Brooke was good and wholesome, but I think her days are numbered. David A. was good (duh).

Chris in VA Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 do you think the whole Paula thing will be blown up in the media? I'm looking for it on the news today--Do you think she's seemed more out of it than usual this year? I love Jason, but he has made crappy choices. I can just hear him singing Forever in Blue Jeans tonight--the song really fits him. I can't see him as an American Idol. I see David C as the same kind of rocker as Daughtry--it was good for his career that he didn't become the Idol bc he has so much more flexibility. But I do think David C is amazing, a great vocalist, and a really talented "artist." He should win. Brooke needs to get a grip--she can sing, she can sort of play her instruments (I'm sure she'd better than she shows on tv), but she's "fragile," forgetting words, starting off pitch, just unprofessional. That I could see coming in time. Like her voice. Syesha is going to make a million dollars on Broadway. That's the direction every comment from the judges is leading. They obviously try to comment in ways that guide the viewers to make a decision the producers can live with--and I think they really are on target most of the time. David A is a sweet young man, and I think he'll go the Josh Grobin way--big touring potential in the future, but perhaps not a lot of radio play--I have liked the way he has chosen songs that are appropriate for his age, instead of trying to sing a lot of "my hard life sucks" and "love screwed me" kind of songs. There it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I haven't read 'news' yet, I'm still here. :bigear: But I figured 'they' would be all over Paula today. I assumed because the two Davids were in a row she started reading the notes on the second, getting confused on live TV. I knew it was nothing, but I also knew it would be something. And why I am discussing American Idol, I will never know. This is my first year with it. I didn't even realize it had been on for so many years. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 He was the ONLY one who sang like a 'star' (professional) last night. About Paula, The media tends to leave her alone because she is 'old news' and her actions are due to a medical condition. She has a terrible chronic pain condition and when she does too much (activity) her meds that she takes just to survive the pain tend to make her appear drunk/loopy. Her condition goes back to her cheerleader days if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontier Mom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think Jason is going. He just can't seem to get the songs right and I just think his fan base may be going down some. But I have to ask, where did Syesha get all that hair? Even though she isn't my favorite, she looked beautiful last night. I also saw last night that there is a site promoting voting for the worst to make the rating for AI go down. Seems "The Shock Jock" is promoting this heavily to get AI off the air.
