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?

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.
yup.
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.
Seriously. I didn't even know it was back on air.
I'm wondering if the sex pics are gonna hurt her at all.
wha???
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.
Yeah, sorry I didn't use the sarcasm tags.
I haven't heard all the ladies though, so...
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.
Gina is wack
Haley is good to look at ...but she cant sing for shit
Blake has the Becky vote on lock
Jordin has a chance to win.
Lakisha is boring.
Midget Chris is on some Timberlake shit.
Fat Chris is annoying.
Phil is weird.
Stephanie has no identity.
Brandon was garbage.
Sanjaya is what i look forward to every week....i'm fascinated with this dude's hair.
horrible fauxhawk off beat ''heys!'' for dayzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ps: akon wastes his senegales griot voice on some pop shit..new flava
I've never watched a single AI show, but the hate mail at votefortheworst.com is mind-blowing.
she killed it tonight.. but really, its going to be blake or jordin in the final.
haha. judging by your avatar, i'm guessing who your $$'s on! blake has that 80s emo punk steez locked but jordin can SING.
