Re: American Idol 6

OOOOOOOOOOH
MYYYYYYYYYYYY
GAAAAAAAAAWD

I'm absolutely stunned. Even as VP of the Blakettes...I'm stunned!

Tonight's Results.

Of course I'm the loser who reads the play by play on AI message boards as the show's being broadcast to our friends in the EDT!

I'm not going to be home tonight while the show's on, but DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED:

Maroon 5 performs and more footage of their homecomings are featured.

JORDIN AND BLAKE ARE IN THE FINAL 2.

MELINDA was sent home.

I wanted a MELINDA AND BLAKE final 2, but I'm sure those in the music biz are already making her phone ring off the hook.

Re: American Idol 6

Poor Blake last night. You could barely hear him sing because Destiny's Child was drowning him out.

Destiny's Child? Wha...ooooh...now I get it. Bwahahaha!!! Did Blake sing last night?!

I've been reading several AI discussions on various MBs and I just don't get the Jordin hype. Sure, the girl can sing...but simply singing well won't make you win AI these days, IMO.

I completely agree with you. Jordin's really good but, except for being 17, there's nothing overly unique about her. A great set of vocal chops and a great smile are expected.

I'm sure the teenyboppers of America (including tutusue and me) will fight to keep him in the competition!

Heh! Tutu the teenybopper! Teenyblooper is more like it! And, yes, Blake's getting my vote. So is Melinda! That's what I find so interesting about this season. Blake's and Melinda's styles are diametrically opposed but I like them equally.

Also...while I've faithfully watched AI this season (as opposed to the last 3 or 4 where I didn't really care), AI's turned into just one big commercial. First it was for Coca-Cola and Ford...and now they use it to market upcoming movies?

I guess being on the fringe of the advertising industry I have a natural affinity for watching how advertising evolves. It's so interesting to me to see how AI manages to work advertising into the show. Personally, I think it's brilliant...from product placement to stars in the audience...but I do understand that it can bug people.

Re: American Idol 6

Nikki...shows like AI get pretty stale if the concept stays the same from season to season. So, new formats are tried to cheers and jeers and everything in between. AI already has longevity by TV standards but to keep it going and fresh they'll need to vary the concept. I look forward to seeing what else they come up with. I agree, tho', that limiting song choices to one artist or group is just that...too limiting. We'll see what next season brings!

Of course, you're right. And I would probably be complaining if they did the same thing every year.

Re: American Idol 6

I wish they'd go back to 30 minute result shows... one hour shows are such a drag.

I think this season had too many guest coaches. It was rather limiting to have them sing only Bee Gee songs... they could have expanded it to all songs from that era. I liked previous seasons, where they would do songs from the 80s, 90s, etc.

[nikki]

Re: American Idol 6

I did not care for Bee Gee night at all. The only standout for me was Jordin's first number. The rest were a yawn, especially Blake.

Re: American Idol 6

Dear Jordin,

If you want to convince people that you're a "Woman in Love," try not to look and sound like you gotta go #2.

That is all.

Re: American Idol 6

WOW! I expected so much more tonight! All the performances ranked fairly low on my chickenskin scale. Blake got more of my chickenskin than the 3 ladies but still not a whole lot more. A somewhat interesting hour but not interesting enough to interrupt my packing and keep me glued to the tube.

Re: American Idol 6

Oops, I just heard next week is Barry Gibb, not Abba...

Oh, thank gawd! Then, again, that won't make the Barry Gibb detractors very happy!
