American Idol Season 5

[elizabethann]

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

[beeniesmom]

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.

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!

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.

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.

My husband said the show taping went smoothly, and Kevin was easy to follow and that he was nice.

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! 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.
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!

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

[prechrswife]

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. (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.

[jazzcat]

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!

[dogzr#1]

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.

[*JTM*Coco*pi*Caramel*]

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!

[elizabethann]

Okay, here is my expert analysis...

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!!!
