Any American Idol Fans? My Friend Made It!

[Daisy and Delilah]

No, it's not just you. Paula gets more annoying every year. I also used to love her but she is just irritating now! I also notice that she conspires with Randy against Simon. He's a judge too and just because he doesn't say what they said, they can't handle it. It makes me think the show is about half made up and theatrical for ratings(I know that makes me sound like an idiot but I want to believe it's 100% legit ).

I loved Josiah! The kid who lived in his car...He didn't make it, but i think he had a strange (but good!) voice.. I was hoping that he'd at least make the top 24.

As for now, i'm rooting for Jason C. He's the one with the dreadlocks and the most amazing voice!

Aw no you're supposed to vote for Jason Yeager since that's why I made the thread :P

Oh well I don't even care if Jason wins, he made it to national television, and he's getting more exposure now than singing at the restaurant he's working at in Branson; I'm just proud of him that he didn't give up and has made it this far! His performance Tuesday wasn't his best; he can do so much better. But he certainly didn't do bad. Plus he has more vocal training than 9/10 of the finalists (check their profiles at AI.com, he's one of FEW that has professional training, if not the only one) PLUS he's used to performing on stage since he's worked at the Shoji Tabuchi show as well as other shows in the area, so he has stage presence. He has that going for him. You could tell he was nervous, but not nearly as nervous as some of the other guys who had probably never performed in front of a live audience much less on national television.

But there are some REALLY great male vocalists I heard, though, females... ehh... some of the girls are just really pitchy and nasally so none really impressed me, but the guys... it's gonna be tough.

Jason Yeager is from Grand Prairie which is about 45 miles from me and Jason Castro is from Rockwall which is literally 10 miles away. Go TX boys!

I really did like Jason Castro's style and his voice. LOVE Michael Johns and I think Robbie Carrico is pretty hot (though you'd never know by that awful pic at americanidol.com.)

As far as the girls, I really like Alaina Whitaker.

Jason Yeager is performing right now. I love his voice, it's so different from the other contestants..Definitely think he should have picked a better song choice, BUT i think he made it work....I'll stop now before i spoil anything for anyone who isn't watching it now.

Good luck to your friend, I hope he makes it far!

I missed the first 30 minutes of the show because I was having dinner with my parents, but who got eliminated? I'm assuming everyone who performed tonight made it past the first round?

I do agree it was another poor choice in songs, but I KNOW he's gonna blow us away one week, he's just gonna, and Simon's comment on how he looked like he was "drunk at a party", what??? At least he was out there dancing and doing more than hiding behind the microphone like so many of the other male performers do. And I'm not saying that because I'm biased, I'm saying that because it's my honest observation. Plus I KNOW he has stage presence since all he has done the last few years with his life is performing, lol.

(But, regardless, I really liked the song he picked hehe)

EDIT: I will add though it seems the audience already has their mind set on who they want to be the next idol out of the guys... either Danny or David it seems, but that's ok, the fact that these guys made it to national television in the first place is great

[sparks19]

Personally there was only one or two performances I liked tonight.

The guys seem so boring and have no charisma.

so far this season is the pits... guys and girls.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Me and the judges did not agree on much tonight. Either they were hearing things I didn't hear or vice versa.

I thought Jason Y. was awesome!! I can't imagine why they said he wasn't good. It seems to me that every year they pick someone they just don't like, no matter what. Unfortunately, it might be him. He has a whole lot more going for him than alot of the other guys. This kind of thing makes me think this thing might be slightly fixed.

I think the guys were better tonight than last week. I did originally say we had some better people this year but I may have to take that back.

[pitc9]

David Hernandez and David Archuleta Rocked last night!! WOW!

[cali]

David Hernandez and David Archuleta Rocked last night!! WOW!

agree'd! they are my favs, and the only reason I am bothering to tune in lol

[JuniorxMyxLove]

omg seriously??

hahahaha my parents always make fun of jason yeager...not bad, but they never remember him from the previous show so they're always like WHY IS HE HERE? they like him when they hear him sing though.

I personally like Jason Yeager, but dreadlocks and david a. are my favorites. jason yeager is right up there with them though.

I really don't like any of the girls...i think that a guy should win this year.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Mixed feelings about tonights show The girls I expected to do well didn't and the girls I expected to do average did "okay"(Randy's favorite word). This wasn't the case across the board but pretty close.

I have yet to see a great performance. I thought the first girl did Heart pretty well but Heart is a hard act to follow for anybody so it was also "okay" I am one of the biggest Heart fans on the planet.

I see the Britney Spears girl going home tomorrow. I'm not sure about anybody else. As Simon says, I can't remember many of the performances because they were so not memorable

[Jessika]

I sat down and watched the girls tonight which I'd had no interest in (since I'm not a fan of AI in the first place and the only reason I'm tuning in is because of my friend) and can honestly say... wow. The girls weren't bad, but none were "OMG AMAZING", except MAYBE the first girl tonight, Carly S. She was SO GOOD with her cover, I forget what song it even was but... just... holy crap it was the best. The other girls, they aren't bad but they just sound like average vocalists, you know? None of the performances were spectacular except Carly, IMO.

Well fortunately it isn't the judges he has to win over, but the audience

And another thin that is irritating about the entire thing is, Jason HAS experience. He is one of VERY FEW of the contestants this year that has private and formal vocal lessons. He's already recorded a CD. He's performed on stage, so he has stage experience and presence, contrary to Simon's opinion.

I think Jason just had a really rough start, but I KNOW he'll find that one song that just blows everyone away. Just you wait!

I don't think he's going to win and be the next idol since it's clear the audience already has made their decision (that David guy, the 17 year old I think), but the fact that any of these people made it to national television to begin with is a major accomplishment and exposure and they should be proud of themselves

[pitc9]

4 are going to be voted off tonight....I think that Robbie, Luke, Christy Lee Cook and Alaina could be on the chopping block.

Carly was my favorite performance last night Rameile has a great voice but she needs to pick better songs.

[RedHedd]

I love Ramiele and Syesha. Carly bugs me because of all the tattooes - I think she even has tats on her tongue - UGLY with a CAPITAL UGH!

I think Amanda is going home, as for the boys, I hope Danny goes - can't stand his attitude and the guy with the dreds - he reminds me of Tiny Tim and not in a good way.
