American Idol 2011

Bruce said he saw an interview or read somewhere that Liv Tyler always got mad at her dad for going into her closet and stealing her shirts. With that shirt he wore last night, I believe it! He is very different. LOL

I am also happy with the results. And I called it every time. I knew who would go through and who wouldn't. My boyfriend was amazed. LOL All of my favorites were in the top 10.

Not giving anything away.......Thia Magia is from very close to where I live. She was also on America's Got Talent last year. If anyone saw it, she was up against the young pianist but he made it through and she was sent home. I loved her voice on that show too.

I'm very happy with the top group. It should be a fun season to watch--lots of talent, and not a lot of "cookie cutter" performers.

Hello, I just found this thread. Oh, Yes, I've watched every episode of Idol this year. I really like the judges now--Steve Tyler is so much better than I thought he would be & I like him. I think J Lo is good & it seems to me that Randy Jackson is more helpful since Simon left--great judges imo.

My favorite is Scotty McCreery, because I like country music & I like his deep bass voice. Scotty is 17 (16 when auditions started) from Garner, NC about 50 miles from me. I could not believe my ears when I first heard him sing. I realllly like his "Your Man", "Long Black Train" "Letter from Home".

I do wonder though how he will do when he has to sing songs other than country. To me, he seems to be the picture for a teenage boy--cleancut, short hair, neat, cute, friendly, outgoing, polite, baseball player, unassuming, & he even stood up for Jaycee albeit a bit late but he sure seems to be "good boy" & I really like his singing. Even if he doesnt make it all the way on Idol, I do think he has a future as a country singer... Kay in NC

I've watched more Idol this year than ever before. I really like Steven Tyler and J Lo as judges.

Also, I do think Scotty has a country music future!

I've also been watching but I've missed parts of the show because I sometimes get home very late and I don't have a DVR. I think they have a great diverse group this year so it should be very interesting to see how they perform. I usually go for the rockers but it seems they only have one in the group this year.

Gonna weigh in here myself.

I Steven Tyler as a judge. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. lol He is fun, full of energy and very fair for the most part though I don't always agree with him.

I am not a fan of Jennifer Lopez but I have changed my opinion of her. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is so compassionate. I think she brings a wonderful warm element to the panel.

Randy is Randy. He can be harsh sometimes but overall he is a great judge in my opinion. He does seem to have softened somewhat this year. On the whole I often agree with his calls.

Favorites for me, I would have to go with James overall & of course for the guys. I LOVE that rock n roll voice especially the high 'screams' only a true rocker can do it like he does. It is amazing. For the girls, I adore Lauren. She has such a strong voice and there is just a spark that shoots out of her and strikes you when she performs.

Michelle, I completley agree with you on everything...........except your guy choice. I couldn't stand Adam Lambert (his singing, I liked him as a person). I do like James more than Adam though. My favorite guy is Casey.
