American Idol Season 8 ----SPOILERS INSIDE-----

[beeniesmom]

I agree! Great show with lot's of talent.
I love Adam. He is awesome.
He's definately going places after this show, even if he doesn't win.

I have no idea who will go home: It will probably be one of the following:

megan based on song choice
anoop based on song choice
scott
jasmine
jorge

Well, you guys heard how they said there's something different that involves the judges, right?
So, I'm thinking it's that the judges have a say in who leaves. If anyone has watched America's Best Dance Crew, I think it might be like that in a way. That is a Randy Jackson show, so maybe he had an influence.
On ABDC America votes and the bottom two crews are in the hands of the judges as to who stays and who goes. So it might not be the person with the lowest amount of votes that goes home.
But that's just a guess. We shall see how it goes down tonight.

As for last night, I Danny. I like Adam too and I thought Michael did a good job. Anoop and Megan picked horrible songs. And that's all I can remember. LOL Oh, Jasmine is my favorite girl.

They said last night that the bottom TWO people will be eliminated tonight. Then the show will be back to its normal number of contestants.

I did 30-second-skip over a lot of the "back story" parts, I just want to hear the performances!

Last night was the BEST NIGHT EVER. A michael Jackson theme... I don't care what anyone says. I LOVE michael jackson lol always have and always will.

I also think this is the best year ever. Usually there are a few people who I can't believe made it on the show but this year EVERYONE has tons of talent and I think the only disappointments h ave been their song choices.

I really have NO idea who is going home tonight.

What do you guys think about the 4th judge? I can't stand her lol. I'm sure they put her on to distract from Paula's "crazy" but man... it takes extra time to hear a 4th judge ramble on and she just annoys the cr@p out of me lol

After everything that's been said about him, I actually love him too....well...his music.

I thought Adam was amazing. I just wanted to get up and dance. Does anyone think he looks like a young Elvis? That kid is going places.

Jorge was okay. I hope he sticks around because I think he's good.

The girls are not making an impression on me this year. The guys, however, are.

I did not hear this....interesting. It makes sense.

I love Michael Jackson too, well his music anyway, and I always have.

I don't mind Kara, except the funny way her mouth moves when she talks.
And I'm sorry, was it just me or did Paula look like she got beat up and tried to cover it up with make-up? And every time she talked she sounded and looked like she was going to burst into tears. She looked like she HAD been crying for hours, her eyes were all glossy. Maybe it was the make up, but she didn't look too good.

I think I got the bad taste in my mouth for Cara after that whole bikini girl incident during the auditions. yeah that girl was self centered and spoiled but MAN cara was pretty much ranking right up there with her in that episode lol. I mean you are a professional and a judge and you are going to try to challenge one of the auditions to a sing off? grow up lol. Since then I haven't been able to stomach her lol.

Yeah paula had a TON of makeup on last night. But I was more distracted by her dress. Looked like she killed a bird on the way in and stuck it on her dress lol. that feather in my face all night would drive me CRAZY.

but yes she did seem EXTRA emotional last night.

That was pretty lame. I had forgotten about it. She was really showing off.

[Daisy and Delilah]

A huge DITTO on Michael Jackson. I had forgotten how much I liked him until last night. No matter what he's become, he was one of the best artists of my time, hands down. I loved every song I heard last night. I was really amazed at how much everyone seemed to adapt to his sound too. It was great.

Good point Cindy. Paula looked awful. Whatever she went through that day, it was showing. She looked like a truck hit her and kept going.

As far as I'm concerned, I think we need to get rid of Paula and keep Kara. Paula seems to have serious issues going on always. She talks like she's really out of it. I know she has alot of pain and it could be meds. At least I think I read that a couple of years ago.
I really think Kara does a super job at being a judge. She always picks up on the most obvious points that I wouldn't necessarily remember. I am a little tired of her saying alot of the same things over and over but that comes with the show. Rift is one of the words I'm tired of hearing. What is a rift??

Randy is my favorite judge by far. I think he is the most sensible of all of them. Simon uses words that are so degrading. I'm really starting to wonder if he doesn't realize the harshness of what he's saying. It surprises me that the contestants don't break down crying.
Last night, he said he hated what Lil was wearing. I thought it was a beautiful outfit and she looked good in it. Isn't he supposed to be critiquing their singing and not their clothing anyway?? Why is he always so concerned with everyone's wardrobe? He has no room to talk.

I've got to bring this up for comment, if anyone has one. Last week, Matt was wearing a black scarf. Isn't that the exact same type of scarf Rachel Ray was wearing in the Dunkin Donuts commercial when they pulled it off the air? They said the style of scarf was possibly linked to terrorists.

I love Matt and I don't wish him any harm. I noticed that scarf right away and wondered if they would receive complaints from the same group that had RR's ad pulled.

I think it's actually more a combo of american television and expectations. Everyone expects him to be a jerk and things are always heightened for American TV.

like Gordon Ramsey. Watch Hell's kitchen and you think he is the devil himself... but if you watch any of his shows on BBC he's still abrasive but he's a completely different person.

it's all probably just to add to the drama of the show.

[Daisy and Delilah]

sparks: I think alot of Simon's behavior is purposely done. He gets that devilish smile on and he loves it. I agree with what you said all the way. I thought it was so funny that Simon called on Gordon Ramsey in the audience last night. Too bad we couldn't hear him. He seemed so docile.

Karen: It's a riff? Thanks. I understand what you mean. lol lol

Cindy: The more I think about Kara, the more annoyed I get. At times, she seems to be trying to upstage the other judges. I still like what she says now. I'll probably hate her at the end of the season.
I'll be listening to her like a hawk from now on and laughing out loud to myself.

[Karen]

Rift is one of the words I'm tired of hearing. What is a rift??

Love, it isn't rift, the word is riff. Understandable confusion, though. A riff is a musical term meaning an improvised take-off from the melody, that then returns back to the melody line. You hear a LOT of them on American Idol, as contestants are supposed to try to "make it your own" and it sometimes is less effective than others. When someone takes what you know is supposed to be two notes and makes 37 notes out of it - that's a riff.

LMAO!!!


More Kara words...and the other judges are starting to use them a lot too!

Instrument (referring to their voice)
Blow (as in singing strong) I guess it sounds funny coming from her and not Randy.
Pipes (as in having a good voice, sorta the same as above)

Ugh, there are more and I can't think of them now.
