Ok, we've been quiet about this here but I think it's time to get our Idol/idle chatter on. Two quick thoughts:1) Apparently, "Feelin' Good" = kiss o' death. Someone alert Lynn Marino!2) Are all the Asian dudes getting sent home payback for Ken Eng? Saying! And Antonella. Oh, Antonella. Has Jersey ever had such grand representation?

    Well, we did have one quick thread about it, when we learned that AI finalist Sundance Head is Roy Head's son...that's my main point of interest. That, and the fact that the other night Simon Cowell pronounced "charisma" as "charismer."

    Spanky, why are you watching "American Idol"? Not that my reality show habits are any better.

    Lakisha, Melinda and Stephanie are all great. I doubt the first two have sufficiently strong personalities to make convincing pop star material, even though they both have pipes for days. We're a week or so behind in the UK, so I'm hoping Jordin steps up her song-selection game, because she sounds like she has the kind of chops that'd shine on stronger material than what she's chosen so far.

    Sundance made a wrong move with that Moody Blues joint, so he needs to get back to what he does best. The bald-headed guy has a really commercial-sounding, power-ballad voice and might be a good outside bet. Sanjaya has Teen Choice Awards written all over him, and manages to avoid the vocal pyrotechnics that too often pass for good singing in this show.

    I'm going with either Lakisha or Melinda - they're just too good to be overlooked. Simon Cowell ended up with egg all over his grill after the unstoppable rise of J-Hud, so I think he'll lobby hard for those two.

    Antonella is so eeeeasssy on the eyes, but talent-wise

    He already did...that Moody Blues mistake was a few weeks ago, that's old now.

    I didn't see it last night (at least mot all the way through), but on Tuesday's ep he sang "Mustang Sally," so he's back in the family tradition of white soul.

    None of those white girls can sing.

    this show should be taken off the air period...

    Seriously. I didn't even know it was back on air.

    Bunch of dirty pics of her have hit the net. Including blowjob pics.

    I'm betting she gets tons of votes from alot of old dudes now.

    The official line is that the BJ pics aren't her, but there are some shots of her, near-naked, draped all over a WWII memorial, which might be considered inappropriate in the current climate.

    So far, it's all very different from the treatment meted out to Frenchie Davis in Season 4.

    Worst season ever. Sorry to say it, but they all kinda suck.

    I haven't heard all the ladies though, so...

    I don't chastise people for NOT watching the show (I mean, c'mon) but folks, the appeal is no mystery. It's a great show on multiple levels, the least of which tends to be the actual singing on the show (though folks who have boycotted just for the sake of missed great renditions of "My Funny Valentine," "Do Right Man, Do Right Woman, and "And I'm Not Telling You."

    I couldn't disagree with Day more - this has had some of THE strongest female talent I've seen since the LaToya London, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia season (#3). This could also be the first season where no white women make it to the end though I have a sneaking suspicion that Antonella might. But this is definitely the year of the brash, Black female singer.

    For folks who haven't heard her - girl CANNOT sing to save her life. And she has a bad attitude. And she embodies every bad stereotype about Jersey girls you've ever heard (minus the big hair). But she's really fun to hate on for all these reasons and more.

    And can I just say: Kellie Pickler's boob job is . And with the Dolly hair? Seriously

    She's the only one who the judges when they finish w/ their comments. All the other girls take on a much humbler steeez. That blue dress was heat though. She cant sing.

    The difference - if there is one - is that Frenchie appeared on a paid, soft core site whereas Barber's pics, so far, seem to be personal, candid, myspacesluts-type photos. I'm not sure, contractually, Idol has the right to kick some one off for supremely bad judgment in their personal life so long as they haven't committed any professional violations.

    What I should have said was, comparing other seasons to this one, I haven't been very impressed or seen anyone stand out above the rest. Everyone has been pretty sub-par for for the most part. But again, I've really only seen the guys sing so take that for what it's worth.

    The judges have been pretty cold this season too.

    I've never watched a single AI show, but the hate mail at votefortheworst.com is mind-blowing.

    God, I always end up seeing the very end of this show where they recap the dipshits' performances because it comes on before "House"(whoever thought to put the renegade cop aspect to a show about a junkie Dr., genius, but thats another thread)...and I am always aghast at the awful awful music people are flipping out on and cell-phoning votes in, recaps on the fucking News...this is some truly awful shit...as a music fan it is akin to a lover of baby seals watching the furry little dudes getting clubbed...it is just ...well,awful.
