American Idol Season 5

Here I go again. :rolleyes:

Taylor: hmmmm, nothing special. A little disappointed.

Mandisa: Shania Twain? Nah, didn't work for me.

Ace: Not bad, actually.

Elliot: I liked it. I liked the way he made it his own.

Kellie: I thought she did well. I didn't like how she said town, though.

Paris: Difficult song to sing, but very pitchy.

Chris: WILL YOU MARRY ME? It was nice to see something different. I was hoping that he'd sing that song by Marc Chestnut, Don't Want To Close My Eyes. Aerosmith also did it.

Katherine: Nothing special.

Bucky: Ummm, I didn't understand a word he said.

My bottom 3: Mandisa, Ace and Bucky.

Time for Bucky to go.

Nice calls, Lobodeb.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Bucky left on Country night?

My turn! My turn! :D


Taylor: Ouch...he was bad.

Mandisa: Double ouch...stick to gospel.

Ace: Very surprising..did okay AND he didn't hog the camera with his puppy dog eyes.

Elliot: I liked it too.

Kellie: Awesome...but that's her forte.

Paris: Didn't do anything for me.

Chris: It was okay...nothing special.

Katherine: I think I switched channels and missed her whole performance so I can't critique it.

Bucky: I thought he was good.

Based on last nights performance, my bottom 3 would be:

Mandissa, Bucky and this one hurts me....Taylor.

But I think it's time for Bucky to go because he hasn't been 100% on his "game" throughout the competition.

:)

Taylor: Living so close to WV, I LOVED the song, loved him singing it. He's always one of my favs.

Mandisa: She REALLY should have chose more wisely. I think *country nite* is gonna hurt Miss Mandisa!

Ace: Loved it! I think this will get Ace out of the bottom 3 . . . this week anyway. I hope he keeps this up.

Elliot: Loved it! I thought it was a great vocal! He has such an interesting range!

Kellie: She has a really great country voice (duh) . . . but I REALLY wish she'd put some EXPRESSION on her cute little face while she sings!!! She has such a blank look!!!

Paris: Well, we know that she would never sing country so . . . I guess I'll let her off the hook . . . *gag* . . . sorry Paris . . . better luck next week and hope this didn't hurt you too much. BTW, Simon was WAY off base with his remarks! He was just trying to get a rise out of Paula!

Chris: I LOVED it!!! He is so sexy & to see him singing that slow song . . . he's always been my FAV . . . no doubts now!

Katherine: Simon was right . . . that was wierd.

Bucky: I thought it was funny when Kenny Rogers told him that it was important to annunciate every word in a song like that and then even *I* couldn't understand him and I've heard that song a million times. :rolleyes:

My bottom three: Mandisa, Paris, Bucky

Who do I think deserves to GO? Bucky

Bye bye Bucky. :(

Hopefully it won't be a total upset :eek:

Chris and Paris were the BEST!!

Katherine was ok.

Kellie shined!!

I loved the song Taylor did! but wasn't his best...

Mandisa, Elliot, Ace, and Bucky.-- ick!

I think that Taylor,Mandisa, and Paris weren't good at all.

Even though I don't like country, I thought that Kelly, Chris, Elliot, and Ace were pretty good.

Bucky was just okay and I couldn't understand a thing he said either.

Katherine sang well but she did pick a weird song.

I think that Mandisa,Bucky, and Paris will be in the bottom three. I also agree that Bucky should go but he probably won't this week because of all of the country fans.:rolleyes:

Taylor: Ouch...he was bad. Where's the REAL Taylor?

Mandisa: Didn't do it for me and who put her in STRIPES! Yipes!

Ace: Buh-bye, Ace. It's time to go.

Elliot: What a surprise! I liked it a lot.

Kellie: Cute. I knew she'd do well this week.

Paris: FINALLY, she's looking like a star and not a 9 year old. I liked her singing too.

Chris: Loved it!

Katherine: Voted for her too.

Bucky: I thought he was good.

Based on last night's performance, my bottom 3 would be:

Ace, Mandisa and Taylor.

It's time for Ace to go

Taylor - What was that? That performance left me with a blank look on my face.

Mandisa - Ruined a very neat song. There are plenty of country songs that she could have done that would have fit her voice better.

Elliot - Not bad, but still not as good as I thought he'd be.

Chris - Pretty good, but could've done better. Song choice was good.

Kellie - She didn't "wow" me but she was most definetly the best of the night.

Bucky - I thought he was good. I could understand what he was saying but then again I love that song, so that could be why.

Katharine - Wow, she is really starting to act cocky. Total turnoff. Vocals - they were pretty good ... I hate that song though.

Paris - Not bad, but not good either.

Ace - Much better than I expected, but I still can't stand the guy. He's way too into himself.

Bottom three - Taylor, Mandisa, and Katharine, Bucky or Ace (no I can't decide ... everyone pretty much sucked equally last night!!).

Going home - ??? I really can't decide who I think is going home tonight. I HOPE it's Ace, but I think he stepped it up a notch last night and will be staying.

I didn't just love anyone last night (I really don't like country music) but I think it's way past time for Bucky to go. I hope Kellie Pickler isn't far behind.

Sorry, but like I said I REALLY don't like country music.

Chris and Elliot were about the only ones I didn't have to fast forward through.

OMGosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

OK, Mandisa did suck last night but I didn't think she would get voted off!!!!!! I'm not that dissapointed though..

I also think that Paris didn't deserve to be part of the bottom 3...

:mad:
I knew I shouldn't have looked at this thread,,,,it doesn't start for 45 minutes now I know what happened

Mandisa was one of my top 4 faves.

It's a shame that Bucky survives and she is gone.

I tell you what, next week, the music of Queen will really separate the real singers from the crowd!

Who will do Queen well? Elliot.

Kind of surprised that Mandisa went. Though she was the worst one last night IMO.

Mandesa was one of my favorite. I agree she did bad last night but I think others should have gone first. I have to agree that Queen songs are going to really difficult for some of them.

Funny, this season started out really good. Everyone seemed so talented. Lately, everyone is just "ok" and I'm getting pretty bored with the show.

Though I don't think it's fair that Bucky, Kellie, and Ace have stuck around while Lisa and Mandisa went home. They are both far more talented then the other three ever will be.

I am so angry!! Mandesa was my favorite now who am i gonna vote for next week?

i started watching AI but i haven't seen the last couple of episodes.....

Mandisa may be gone from Idol but I expect to see great things from her in the future. What a beautiful, gracious, lady she is. Good luck Mandisa!! :)

I agree. She my be the new Aretha Franklin or Whitney Houston.

:)

Wow . . . I just am in such shock about the results. I mean, she was horrible and everything, totally butchered that S. Twain song, but I really thought she'd have more of a fan base than that. She's been awesome up until now, she can sing circles around just about anyone in the competition. Not saying she's my fav . . . Just that she shouldn't have gone - especially before bucky :eek: . . . Wow . . .

I'm sure that this won't be the end for her though . . . she's probably already been signed . . . which is probably the best thing for her.

I too am in shock that she's gone, but I am glad Paris was in the bottom 3. She needs to realize that she's not all that. :p
Elliot... oh I just love his voice. I don't know why he was in the bottom 3, yeah he's not the easiest on the eyes... ;) but he sounds great!
I'm still waiting for Ace to go Bye Bye!!
Go CHRIS!!! love ya Babe! :D

He does look better with the goatee, doesn't he?

It wasn't Mandisa's time. She wasn't going to win, but in my perfect world, she would have been in the top 4.

I didn't know Queen had that many hits to do so next week should be interesting.

Also... wasn't is CRUEL how Ryan goes something like,

"The person leaving and going home tonight is Elliot............... You are SAFE!"

:mad: Gawsh!! :p

Mandisa will be busy I'm sure. As one of the top 10, she will be on tour with the Idols this summer. Like Diana DiGarmo (sp?) who has a great career on broadway right now, Mandisa is going to be around for a LONG time. She is beautiful and can sure belt out a tune.

I was honestly hoping it was Paris...I mean she can sing and everything, but isn't she the one with the aunt who's the famous singer? I really don't think she ever needed AI. She could have easily gotten a record contract....I'm really sad that Mandisa got voted off. She was one of my top 5, and Bucky totally should have gone before her...I'm really disappointed in American and AI

I can't believe Mandisa went before Bucky & Ace!!! I was shocked & disappointed.

:(

I don't know why but I am starting to like Bucky. He sand well for country night. I didn't expect Mandisa to go so soon ... actually thought Paris was going to get the boot (she was out of tune most of the song).

I was disappointed that Mandisa was voted off. I agree that this week was not her best, but it was still too soon.

Oh I totally agree!!! I love his voice and I especially loved when he sang Moody's Mood for Love - that was AWESOME!!!! Can you believe my husband calls him Beaky Buzzard from Looney Tunes - shame on him. I don't care what he looks like, the boy can sing! Guess I need to start calling for him.

Still shocked and saddened that Mandisa is gone.

So, the latest rumor is that Mandisa was "asked to leave the show" because she is very openly anti-gay. :rolleyes:

If this is true, 1) why all the drama. Just come out and say that she is being asked to leave because of ________________. 2) What's wrong with having an opinion? If she feels this way, does that mean she can't be the American Idol? The key word is AMERICAN! Last time I checked, that meant freedom. Now, I'm not anti-gay, so please don't think I'm condoning her views, but geeze, can we not speak our minds anymore?

I am a big fan of Elliot's also. I love his voice. I have voted for him the last two shows. I have never done that before either, but I'm so afraid that he is going to get kicked off because he isn't one of the "pretty people". Elliot, Taylor and Chris are my favs and I hope I hear lots more from them in the future.

More details later, I haven't seen my husband since Friday night.

I watched the Ellen show when Kevin was on. So was that your husband playing the piano? That's very cool. The camera showed him 2 or 3 times. Did hubby have a good time? Did he have time to enjoy Universal Studios. I love that place.

So what did you all think about tonight? Queen was the theme! :eek: That was a tough one!

My thoughts?

Bucky: Not bad.
Kellie: I thought she did an awesome job! Loved the look & the song!
Ace: I can't even remember what song he sang so it must not have been that great . . . he's still a cutie though. ;)
Taylor: YAY! TAYLOR'S BACK!!! AWESOME!!!
Elliot: LOVED IT!
Chris: Not surprising at all that he would do fantastic tonight! Wow! I dialed my finger off for him tonight!!!
Paris: I agree with Simon . . . that was wierd. :eek:
Katherine: Not bad.

My bottom three . . . Paris, Ace & Bucky.

I'd really like to see Bucky go. I just don't think he really deserves to be there. I don't really think he has the talent to be in it but for some reason he keeps getting to stay every week. Last week was such an upset though, I wouldn't be surprised if Chris or Taylor or Elliot are voted off, just because that's how this show seems to work! :rolleyes:

I thought they all did pretty good, but ugh I want Bucky and Ace off there >.<

Someone please tell me how the show was tonight. Our cable was out all afternoon and evening. It came back on shortly after 9:00. :mad: (That meant no AI, no internet, no telephone... The downside of all-in-one service.)

Well, that sucks! As I said, I think everyone did pretty well..but can't go into details, because I was only paying half attention. :p

I just finished calling in for Elliot. I think I got through about 25 times. It's the first time I've called this season but I'm worried he might get voted off and I really like him. I thought he did good tonight.

I agree with Christa, Bucky needs to go. He is way out of his league.

I was surprised that Kellie did as well as she did. I typically don't like her but she did well. Ace was a non-event singing We Will Rock You - YAWN!

Ok I'll try to comment on everyone.

Bucky- yea... needs to go. still can't believe that he didn't go before Mandisa.
Ace- also needs to go. stop the pretty boy act, and leave.
Kellie- sang well. she wore a little too much eyeliner/eyeshadow for me though.
Chris- as always sang VERY well. also oddly wore make-up (eyeshadow)
Taylor- back to the crazy Taylor self! I enjoyed the performance.
Katherine- liked it but was nothing special.
Elliot- Really liked it. I hope he doesn't get voted off.
Paris- Enjoyed it but didn't like the whole 'goth' look.

My bottom three: Bucky, Ace and Katherine.

I love Taylor, Kellie and Elliot in that order! Everyone did pretty good tonight! I liked the Queen thing minus how everyone was in goth like someone else mentioned!

My bottom 3:
Ace- I hate him! I don't want to even start going on about him it wont end!
Bucky- It's just time
Paris- Never liked her!Tonight's performance was weird!

Okay, here is my expert analysis... :D :eek: :D :D :)

Bucky - I thought Bucky did great last night. He really is good when it's country/rock.
Ace - Helllooooo...earth to Ace...can you remember the words to the song? You really have to leave tonight. Please leave!!!
Kellie - Kellie was awesome!!! She did the song soooo well! I loved her look.
Chris - I didn't see him perform...but I heard him from the other room. I sort of liked his vocals but I was hoping for more out of him.
Taylor - I freaked out when I heard he was going to sing We Are the Champions but then he changed it to Crazy Little Thing Called Love and he did an excellent job! Simon missed the boat on that review.
Katherine - I thought it was great. I can see her on broadway.
Elliot - I liked it. He picked a really hard song to sing. I think he did good.
Paris - My, she's all grown up! I liked her performance.

Who I want to go tonight (and everynight since the show started): ACE!!!
