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

**Daisy and Delilah** · 04-01-2009, 10:08 PM

YAY YAY YAY!!! Matt wasn't even in the bottom three. My votes must have helped.

I'm glad to see Megan go. She had that "untouchable" attitude. I thought she was convinced she wasn't going home until the very end, of course.

I might be old but what did everybody think of Lady GaGa? I'm still trying to figure out what she was doing???

David Cook was fantastic.

I have a strange question, but we've been having issues with our DVR, so I missed the first part of Tuesday night's show entirely--what was the theme this week? I do agree that it was time for Megan to go, though, and I didn't even see anything but the recap of her Tuesday performance.

Lady GaGa was just odd. I don't get it, either. I do agree that David Cook was great, though.

I might be the exception, and I hope this doesn't come off as rude..

I absolutely do not like Scott at all.. I know he has a disability, and it's amazing that he can play the piano when he can't see... But I honestly don't think he can sing.. My opinion is that he keeps getting votes because people feel for him, being blind..

His voice is not great at all.. It actually gets on my nerves, and if it wasn't for the fact that my mom watches Idol with me, I would put it on mute the second he came on. I really wish he would get voted off.. That night Paula mentioned something about wanting to see him sing without the piano, I agree with her 100%.. I know he feels comfortable behind the piano, but he needs to get out of that comfort zone, and show people that he can sing in front of the microphone, not behind the piano.

Michael could sing 10 x's better than him, and he wen't home.
Even though his performance wasn't great the night before he was voted off, he proved himself that he could sing when he had to sing it again.

I think that in the finale, it will be between Danny & Adam.

I thought Megan had a nice voice on certain things, but she was arrogant.. And she didn't seem to know how to pick a song that would compliment her voice. Paula had me cracking up when she was talking about her dancing, and said she should sit on a stool or chair when she sings.. I really hope Megan didn't think she could dance.. And those spastic hand moves were really strange. Anyway, It was her time.

Anoop had me puzzled on his performance.. I just found it really strange that he was singing an Usher song. It didn't work..

I don't even like Lady Gaga's song.. I find it strange, and the 'show' she put on tonight was even more strange. I know a lot of people that just love that song, but I don't see whats so great about it.

I really don't care for Scott's voice either. The night that he got voted into the top 12, he was doing his song again... and my boyfriend walked by and said "what is that terrible voice?" Really, we both started laughing, because we both thought it was a horrible voice. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like it. I don't mute it when he sings, hoping it'll sound better, but it never does.

Even last night, he didn't do it for me. He ruined one of my favorite Billy Joel songs for me.

Again, maybe it's just me... but I really think he's getting sympathy votes.

I'm so glad that Megan finally went home.

America finally got it right this week.

**beeniesmom** · 04-02-2009, 06:02 AM

I guess I was wrong. Anoop has made it another week. Good for him.

Meghan was going to go sooner or later. I know she will be on TV or something. She is very interesting and pretty and some producer will find something to do with her even if it has nothing to do with singing.

I'm glad Matt made it too. I still think it was a reverse psychology thing... what the judges did by bashing him, so more people would vote for him.

David Cook is awesome. Still glad he won last year and still very happy with my CD purchase!

Lady Gaga.... I like her a lot. Reminds me of my dance club years.

The theme was "America's Top Downloads" - so, essentially, anything popular. Pretty wide range of choice, considering they could jump decades ...

I am glad Megan left, it was time. She is unique, but not often in a good way. When she "forces" her voice, bad things happen.

**sparks19** · 04-02-2009, 12:58 PM

FINALLY Megan went home.

As for Scott... I kind of feel bad for him. Not because he's blind but because I don't believe at ALL that he is or has been using it as a crutch but EVERYONE keeps talking about it (IE Paula) and I do think that he's getting a lot of sympathy votes and that's NOT fair to him.

As for Lady gaga... she is strange but I think she's also quite clever. I'm sure when she goes out to eat or shopping no one realizes who she is because she's always in costume on stage

So i bet she doesn't get pestered by fans while she's trying to eat lol. And her music is more for club dancing

**Daisy and Delilah** · 04-02-2009, 02:36 PM

Cori, I have to agree with you about Scott. This past week, he was better than he has been. So much so that I thought he sounded good. In comparison, anything would have been better. I don't think he can sing well either.
He doesn't use the blindness as a crutch, I agree. However, I think he is getting a large amount of sympathy votes. It kinda bothers me that he's doing the best he can and America is calling in a large percentage of votes due to his disability. The poor guy probably knows what's going on but he may not. He might actually think he's getting the votes without alot of sympathy--I doubt it. Let me also say I didn't like his hair this week. Did anyone like it? Kara said she loved loved loved it!!
As I think I said before, I think it's wrong to emphasize misfortune in some of the contestant's lives. If the contest is won or lost by America's feelings alone, the end result could be skewed. I think some of us will agree that results on AI have been defintely skewed in the past, for one reason or another.

Thanks for the comments on Lady GaGa. I wasn't sure if anyone liked her. I try to keep an open mind about all entertainers. I just thought her song was a little off key. Maybe I need to hear it on the radio. I do appreciate her originality and guts. She had to come up with a gimmick and she's done it.

I've been reading about Megan today in the news clips. I had forgotten about her bird noises and flapping her arms when she crossed the stage. She's saying that was to honor her love of birds. News agencies are calling her exit, "awkward" because of her telling Simon she didn't care what he thought. In turn, he said they didn't care to base her leaving on her last performance. She was really arrogant and I was happy she was given the boot exactly the way it happened. She turned it into a mockery and showed little respect for anything. Her family in the audience was disrespectful too. I'm sure her son is glad to see her coming home. If she ever gets home that is~~I always see alot of the past contestants in the audience and in other places. I wonder how much time they actually get to spend at home after being on that show.

**snowbelle15** · 04-02-2009, 05:14 PM

I was glad to see Megan go home. I really didn't like her that much.

David Cook was fantastic! I really liked Lady Gaga too. I love Poker Face. It's one of my favorite songs from her.

**Taz_Zoee** · 04-03-2009, 09:56 AM

Ok, was it just me or was Megan extremely annoying and immature on the results show? Her facial expressions and waving like a fool at the camera just drove me nuts!!! I mean, what if Anoop had been voted off and she was standing there with her eyes all wide like an idiot? I think she is beautiful and has an unusual voice, but I'm glad she's gone.

I agree that Scott is not a strong singer and I also believe he is getting votes just because of his disability. Sad but true.

I like Adams range he has with his voice, but honestly I'm tired of him YELLING. It's also driving me nuts. I almost don't want to even watch or listen to him because he will do that yell with his tongue kinda sticking out. UGH!!!

My favorite is Danny....still. I thought he did awesome on the Journey song with the group. After his part my boyfriend said (from the other room) Wow, that sounded just like Journey.

I am so glad someone else pointed out Kris's mouth issues. Again, another thing that drives me nuts. LOL I laughed so hard when Anoop mimicked Kris.

But I had a strange feeling last night that he (Kris) just might win this whole thing.

I thought Lil did much better this week than she did last week. And there is just something about Allison I like. Maybe its her rough deep voice and she's only 16!!

Yeah I feel the same way about Adam. and I swear... everytime he sticks his tongue out it's all yellow and gross looking lol. yes I notice these things. he needs to brush his tongue before he goes on stage lol

I also thought danny was awesome during the journey song. I said to my hubby that THAT is the song he should have sang the night before instead of the one he did. He did sound just like steve perry

I noticed his yellow tongue this time too. He probably had a candy or cough drop before going on. Someone did that in a previous season and their tongue was blue or red, I think. But still, like you said, BRUSH IT!!

**beeniesmom** · 04-08-2009, 12:49 PM

Last night everyone was just OK...

For the first time, I didn't like Adam. Danny was ok but not great.

I didn't like any of the song choices.

The only one who was better than ok was Alison. I hope she does well.

Scott was ok too. I think the song he sand was nice.
Not sure why the judges were so hard on him.
I wish they'd make up thier mind on what they want him to do...
play the piano, lose the piano, play the piano.... sheesh!
As for who is going home......

I have no idea. Could be anyone.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 04-08-2009, 02:44 PM

I'm with you, Carmen. The show was completely forgetful. I didn't like any of the choices either.

What was the song Adam did? I don't know it. It was pretty good but he deserved standing ovations for songs in the past that weren't treated so well. I am going out on a limb to say it will be Allison going home tonight. I think she was great but Simon said unkind things about her. Where does he get off telling a young girl that she isn't likeable? Not that he meant it exactly like that, but, it was cruel and insensitive. She doesn't gush all over the place and she isn't pretentious so we should not like her? What exactly did he mean by that?? Again, it shows that it's something besides an actual singing competition alone.

If not Allison, probably Lil. She was just all over the place last night. I agree with all the judges for once. We've lost the original Lil that was good.

I'm also with you on Scott and the judges. Those judges are trying so hard to get the last word, first word, compete with each other, etc., they don't seem to know what they want. I think all the contestants would agree with that too. I am sick of all four of them saying practically the same thing. It makes me think they halfway listen and feed off the person next to them.
