American Idol 2012

[Karen]

Anybody watching this season? What do you think so far, who are your favorites and who are you puzzled by them making it this far?

Heejun seems like a really nice guy, but I am just not impressed with his voice. I am surprised he's still there/ I did understand "Jer-bear" going home, he just seemed like a sweet guy who was not at all ready for the pressure of this kind of competition. And I was really glad they "saved" Jermaine - I like his voice better than some of the other "screamer" types.

I was just going to check that I spelled names right, and it turns out Jermaine Jones has been Dq'd - http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03...-disqualified/ - oh, well!

So what did folks think of last night?

And why does Heejun wear glasses with no lenses? What's the point?

I watch Idol every week and right now I don't have any favorites. I think Heejun is a comedian and uses his humor a lot. Notice how he bows to everyone, he is really funny....but he is not a great singer and I thought he would be booted off last week. I also don't like Philip Philips, now who would name their child Philip with that last name. I very much liked Jermaine, I really loved his voice but he's gone now, shame. Joshua seems to be the best to me right now but as I said, I have no fav's right now. There are a few I really don't like tho.

I sure hope Jermaine can get his problems resolved and try again next year.. I LOVED his voice.

I thought the same thing about his glasses! LOL

He bows because of his culture. But he is funny. Sure he's not the best singer and I'm sure he'll be gone soon enough.

I like Phillip Phillips. And his dad's name is Phillip Phillips, so that would be why he's named that. LOL
I had a little girl in day care named Brooke Brooks. But at least she has the possiblity of changing her last name eventually.

And Jermaine will not be able to try again next year. I believe the rules are if you make it to a certain point you can't audition again. In fact Jimmy Iovine mentioned that once about someone else (I think Eben).

But, given the plethora of other signing competitions now on TV, maybe Jermaine could get his legal issues straightened out and then be on "The Voice" as it has no age limitation, and Frenchy Davis, famously kicked off of American Idol, not only went on "the Voice" but did pretty well there!

Anybody watching The Voice as well? I like that they are blind auditions, so at first just the singer's voice matters, not his or her looks.

Yes, I like The Voice. But the first round of battle rounds I thought they picked the wrong person on almost each pairing. Like Raelynn (not sure how she spells it) was not better than Adley, IMO. But I'm not a judge/coach.

LOL, yes I know that is their culture but he is joking around when doing it on the show.

So I was not surprised at who was eliminated last night. Who do you think will win? Did you think it odd that Phillip was not in the Ford Music Video, yet his health was not mentioned on the show?

[Taz_Zoee]

I've noticed Phillip hasn't been in the last two Ford Music Videos and they haven't made a comment about it at all. I figure it is due to his health though.

I'm not too surprised on the final three. And I won't mind any of them winning. They are all great!

I want to say something, but don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't watched the results yet. So I'll wait..............

[Karen]

I think you can comment now, I know when I haven't seen the results show yet, I don't open the thread!

[Taz_Zoee]

I was just going to comment on how Jessica was saved weeks ago and she's still in it! Wouldn't that be amazing if she was saved then comes and wins it all! But sometimes I wonder if she's getting pitty votes since the judges did save her.
Last year Casey only went on a few more weeks after being saved. I hate to say it, but I think Phillip will be the next to go and it will be between Jessica and Joshua. Even though I like Phillip the most. You can't deny Jessica and Joshua have AMAZING voices. Jessica just needs to learn to use hers better. I call her the next Whitney Houston.

[redbird]

I am hoping Joshua wins, I don't like Philip's style at all and I also think Jessica is getting a big head, don't like her attitude at all and hope she goes off next week but she will probably be in the finale, I hope she loses tho.

Was anybody surprised at last night's elimination? And if you watched the show, what did you think of Lisa Marie Presley's "performance?" I tried listening to it, but thought it was so painfully bad, I ended up muting it, then skipping over the rest of it. It's sad that she is famous apparently solely because of her last name. The musical genes either skipped over her, or she was drugged into a monotone-ish stupor!
