American Idol

[sparks19]

Anyone watch it this week? it was the first week of the "real" part of the show.

I was very disappointed with last night... the guy's performances.

But tonight was a totally different story. Most of the girls were great.... some were phenomenal. I especially like LaKisha and Melinda. They were just awesome. I think the "weakest links" were really exposed tonight.

it will be a little tougher to decide which guy should go home since I didn't really find any of them that great. but I did like the one guy that has the blonde spikey hair (I can't remember his name but he kinda sounds like Bono or Sting) Also Chris the guy with the Afro that kinda looks like a muppet he was pretty good... not his best performance but he's really funny and I really like his personality.

I thought last night was very disappointing. The whole show was pretty boring. The guy you're talking about sparks, I think his name is Blake. He was my favorite. The girls were much better tonight. Several of them just blew me away. I enjoyed it tonight.

There are so many bad ones, it's hard to say who will be heading home tomorrow

I agree with the guys performance last night, most didn't do anythig but bore me. Only several had really good voices but tonight they had some that also blew me away. Lakisha, that 17 year old girl and that other black girl really outdid themselves tonight.. I did find a couple of those girls sounded like they hit a lot of wrong notes and were singing out of breath.

Lakisha R-O-C-K-E-D!!!
Jordan Sparks and Melinda Doolittle were good as well!

Antonella Needs to GO!!

Lakisha R-O-C-K-E-D!!!
Antonella Needs to GO!!

I totally agree. The first gal was terrific too - Stephanie?

[Flatcoatluver]

I agree Antonella Needs to GO!!
I like the mother, I can't remember her name and I also like Melinda and Jordan.

[RedHedd]

So who do you think is going home tonight? The girls ROCKED! Love Melinda, Lakisha and Stephanie; Melinda just might win this thing!

As for the boys, I loved Blake and Chris. I really like Sanjaya too, but his vocals weren't too strong this week. I hope he stays; he may be very young, but he sure is easy on this old gal's eyes!

[pitc9]

I missed seeing the boys the other night...
I watched last night and Lakisha, Sabrina, Melinda and Stephanie Rocked!

I hope I hope I Hoooooooope Antonella goes home tonight, she is not even close to being any sort of competition for those girls!!
I think Haley will be the other girl to go home.

I'm so sad I missed the boys! I heard my boy Blake did good!

I don't think Antonella is leaving anytime soon. I don't know if anyone has heard but there are semi-nude pictures of her circulating around the internet, and she is "hot" ... I bet she got a lot of votes last night just based on looks and those pictures. I HOPE I'm wrong, but that's what I think. I do not think she is a good singer.

I think Haley is leaving, and the girl with the strawberry blonde hair ... I can't remember her name. I missed most of the show last night but watching the replay it looked like most of them did a good job. I did see the last four perform and those are the two that I remember not being good. They were the 8th and 9th performers.

Does anybody think that Haley is getting treated unfairly or is it just me? I thought she was pretty good both weeks and they've been treating her like she can't sing at all. In my opinion, there are a couple of others much worse than her that need to go first. I think Melinda could definitely win the whole thing. Some of those girls can really blow the roof off the place!! As far as the guys, there are some really good ones there too. I thought Sundance improved 100%.

I agree that Antonella won't be going too soon. Her internet photos are all over the place. Sarah, you're right, she can't sing at all.

I think Haley's problem was her attitude. I mean everyone knows what Simon is like but at least you can take what he says as truth. He is honest.... he doesn't sugar coat it.... and every week she got up there and gave him attitude with his response. I think that really ruined it for her. No one makes it big by being coddled and placated and she couldn't handle the criticism. I had a feeling she was going home. I am not a big fan of the girl with the red hair either... I just don't think she is that good. BUT Antonella should have been the first girl to go home on the first show.

I felt bad for Antonella during the auditions because her "best friend" was not a very good friend to her... but I have changed my opinion.

Sanjaya..... He was definately the weak singer. I am shocked that AJ went home... but I really do love Sanjaya. He just seems like such a sweet boy and after hearing his audition I KNOW he can really sing.... I think he is just scared. After seeing his reaction to AJ going home you can see that he is a good boy. I really hope he gets a chance to come out of his shell and sing like we know he can. But I really liked AJ the night before. But I wasn't really a big fan of Nick.... I agreed with Simon... the drummer was the most entertaining during his performance... he was GREAT.

I am really impressed with their band... that takes some talent being able to play such a wide variety of songs the way they do.

For the girls I like Gina and the red head (I don't remember her name).
I looooove Sanjaya's smile, he's so cute.
But Vocal-wise I really, really like Blake and Chris Sligh.

LOVE this show!! My very favorite is Melinda - the girl who had been a background singer. Part of it is her sweetness I think - but mainly that every note sounds so beautiful and professional.

My favorite guy is Blake - the spiky haired guy that does the "beat-boxing" I think that is what they called it

I heard that Antonella story too and I just do not like her anyway. I don't know if it is her personality or does she just not sing that well? It really is hard for me to keep personality out of it but then, that is important right? I watched the auditions and just did not like her or her best friend that also auditioned - I feel like they caused a girl I really liked to be eliminated - her name was Bailey and she was from Texas.

I am really curious if Antonella will get more votes because of the publicity? I mean, I imagine lots of guys will want to keep her around but I am also thinking more females vote

Ehh... I don't really watch American Idol much this year... I wanted Bailey Brown to win!! She just forgot the words lol!

Whoa....did you just hear Melinda Doolittle? She sounded awesome! I can't wait to hear Lakisha!!
