American Idol 2013

[Karen]

So any thoughts on this week? I was sad that some of the guys chose such odd things to sing that they didn't sound as good, so got kicked off. I did think some of the choices were pretty obvious, but were not sure which way they'd go for Zoanette!

[Karen]

Did anyone see the girls sing last night? Who impressed you, and who didn't? I wonder whether Zoanette will make it through on personality alone, as she is wonderfully fun and enthusiastic but way off pitch much of the time ... there seemed to be a discernible difference in quality between some of them and the rest .... it will be interesting to see how things play out!

I know Niki trades on her oddity as part of her brand, but some of her "compliments" are a bit much, and bring the focus onto her instead of the performer ... I thought Kree actually handled that quite well, and with a sense of humor, which was nice.

I agree with you about nikki, she loves attention for sure,you know I have given up watching idol now,just lost interest,and I have watched it every year ,and a huge fan,I just have not connected with any of them,no favourites and missing an hour each week ruined it,zoanette is just too wacky for my taste but she may do well in the comp.

Gosh I love Phillip Phillips new single,I loved the song,and did not realise it was him,and I was never a fan,but there ya go,

So I thought it was better when they did the "top 20" to "Top 10" all in one show this time, what did you all think? Not as long and drawn out with drama and montages, and just a quick goodbye to the ones who were cut ...

Besides that, are you happy with the finalists as they are now? I don't dislike any of them, or wonder why they are still there, so this should be interesting moving forward!

I am happy with the top 10. I wasn't super sad that any of the people that didn't make it weren't in the top 10.
I guess we aren't saying any names yet? So I'll just wait................

[Taz_Zoee]

Ok, I'm not liking the fact that they show where everyone ranks in the votes. I know they only show the top three, not in a specific order. But then they show #4 through whatever #.
I don't like that.

I was fine with who went home last night too. Their voice is good, but was kind of annoying at times too.

Who do you think will win the spot on the tour? Charlie or Aubrey.

[Karen]

I think the person who was eliminated last night may do well in the industry once he's got more experience under his belt ...

I thought Charlie did a far better job last night than he did with the performance that got him eliminated, so now I don't know whether he or Amber will get to goon tour. I wonder if he could handle the emotional rigors of it all ....

I wonder if the telling the ranks is so people might vote more to bump a favorite up?
