[EmoJoe]

for tomorrow :D

[EmoJoe]

its on! :woohoo:

[KissMyGrits]

Woo-Hoo!!

[EmoJoe]

Lisa Tucker

"Because of You"- Kelly Clarkson o_O

oh wow, weird arrangement...it goes from the first verse to the bridge.

shes doing it well, but its so hard not to compare it to kelly...7/10, it was weak in a few spots

Randy: Interesting song choice, it was just "aight"
Paula: Tough song choice, you can sing your butt off, you didnt make it different.
Simon: The song was too big for your voice. It was actually painful at parts.

i think lisa's gone this week :(

I agree!! I think Lisa did a so-so job with this.

[David]

Lisa Tucker - Because of You

Actually, to be honest, I liked it better than her past few weeks. It was a horrible arrangement, but really it was pretty decent vocally. There were some rough parts, but it wasn't as "bad" as the judges said. And I can understand why Lisa looked so surprised because I think she even thought she deserved a little more than that.

7.5/10

[EmoJoe]

Kellie Pickler
"Suds in the Bucket"

REALLY country song. shes singing it well but its a bit underpitch. i like it though. 8/10

Randy: I was puzzled by the song choice, not that good
Paula: Didn't show your range or personality
Paula: Horrible song choice

[David]

Kellie Pickler - Suds in a Bucket

I didn't like the song choice at all, I agree with the judges. She is WAY better than that song. It didn't even seem like a performance at all ...

7/10

[David]

Ace Young - Drops of Jupiter

I LOVEEEE this song, but I didn't like his version at all. At all.

5/10

Oh gosh, and his scar. That just wins him all the votes.

[HuntingtonM15]

Kellie was HORRID. That song is a fun song and one needs a lot of charisma to pull it off, and she just looked bored. I never liked her until her performance last week, but this was beyond awful. The song is way too good for her.

[EmoJoe]

Ace Young

"Return to Jupiter"- Train (i think)

I KNOW THIS SONG!!!! i never knew the name though. its kinda weak actually....not the best. 8/10

Randy: Wrong song choice. I didnt like it
Paula: Wasnt my favorite from you, but you are very strong vocally. (he has a scar!!!)
Simon: Not a great vocal, you all have the chance to prove your equal to the singers today, quite karaoke.

they shouldnt do the 2000s theme anymore, being last year they all sucked and this year, so far, they all are

[EmoJoe]

Rankings
1. Kellie (8/10)
2. Lisa (7/10)
3. Ace (6/10)

top 10 night has been horrible the past 2 years and it looks like the trend is continuing this year.

[Cactus Jack]

LOL I knew two of those songs
Lisa- Great song, not a good job though
Kellie- Ok not her best
Ace-AWESOM song, but nto his best

[David]

Taylor Hicks - Trouble

It was good, but I just found it very boring.

7/10

Anyone see George and Amanda in the audience?

[EmoJoe]

Taylor Hicks

this kid has grey hair. I SHOULD GO BALD! :lol: ok not really.

"Trouble"- Rayla Montang

its good but a little boring. 8.5/10. best tonight so far.

Randy: Not a great song choice. Didnt let you show it off. Almost got it going at the end. It was "aight"
Paula: It was nice to see you just sing a song. Your an old soul and your teaching the generation about legends.
Simon: Good song, excellent vocal, but the styling is not good. It's very Clay Aiken, and now it's pop school.

simon needs to quit the styling comments, its not Style Idol and the contestants dont style themselves anyway.

[David]

Aw Mandisa's phone number thing was Taylor's in the very beginning

[EmoJoe]

Mandisa

"Praise" or something- Mandisa

very good, best performance tonight so far. 9/10

Randy: One of the best singers in the competition but not a good song choice.
Paula: Everyone's just joined the church of Mandisa
Simon: I didnt get it.

chris and katharine next! my two favorites :D

[David]

Mandisa - Praise You (?)

Excellent, best so far tonight. I'm stunned by the judges :eek:! I do think that Paula is right though and that she should color it up instead of overcompensating the whole way through.

8.5/10

[EmoJoe]

Aw Mandisa's phone number thing was Taylor's in the very beginning
oh god, i see a re-vote coming on! :p

[EmoJoe]

i hope chris and katharine do well, im nervous for them :(

hes supposedly singing a lifehouse song, PLEASE, DONT LET IT BE "YOU AND ME"!

[Cactus Jack]

Taylro and Mandisa were awesome tonight!!! Im glad Taylor didnt spazz out tonight :lol:

MY TWO FAVS NEXT!!!!!!! GO CHRIS AND KATAHRINE!!!!!!!!!!

[David]

oh god, i see a re-vote coming on! :p
:lol: They fixed it up by the end, thankfully. I don't think I would have been able to suffer another viewing of this episode so far. :crazy:

[theshark8777]

oh god, i see a re-vote coming on! :p

They did have Mandisas number up but the background was the band or something, then Taylors number then back to what it was supposed to be. Graphics guy was having some problems lol.

And somoene needs to make me a Katharine avatar :)

[David]

Taylro and Mandisa were awesome tonight!!! Im glad Taylor didnt spazz out tonight :lol:

MY TWO FAVS NEXT!!!!!!! GO CHRIS AND KATAHRINE!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully they can save the show! :D

[EmoJoe]

:lol: They fixed it up by the end, thankfully. I don't think I would have been able to suffer another viewing of this episode so far. :crazy:
i know -_____- at least last year, top 11 night was an awesome episode :woohoo:

[theshark8777]

I don't think I would have been able to suffer another viewing of this episode so far. :crazy:

I heard that.

[Cactus Jack]

Hopefully they can save the show! :D
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hey youre one of the interviewees this week

[EmoJoe]

Chris Daughtry

THANK GOD THEY CLEARED THE "WALK THE LINE" THING UP! :woohoo:

lol titanic theme

"What If"- Creed

that was an IDF spoiler too -_-

wow, hes REALLY rocking it out! really good. the best so far. i still liked "higher ground" the best though. 9.5/10

Randy: Good song choice, wasnt my favorite song you've done, but you were sharp a lot.
Paula: I'm one of your biggest fans
Simon: You need to show another side of you

argh SIMON -_-. hes so fickle.

[David]

Chris Daughtry - What If

I completely agree with Simon's comment, and I'm a Chris fan. He's one of the better ones tonight, but I've said all along that he needs to do something different. Good, but not great.

:lol: at Chris's comment.

:lol: at Chris's comment.

Once again Chris' performance lighting almost gave me a seizure.

[EmoJoe]

Katharine McPhee

"The Voice Within"- Christina Agularia

oh wow, shes REALLY good. starts off rough and previouis 2 weeks were better, but still, REALLY good, i heard a few sharps but still. 9.5/10

Randy: Good song choice, but it was JUST like the record. It was good but it didn't bring anything good to it.
Paula: You didnt change it up, but you were at your best tonight. Christina would be honored.
Simon: The best tonight, it was almost as good as Christina's.

[David]

Katharine McPhee - Voice Within

Best so far tonight. Not a fan of the outfit. I don't like the arrangement too much though because it was just like Lisa's, where it was like.. 4 lines, and then the bridge suddenly pops up. This is probably due to the time constraints since they're fitting 10 performances in an hour, but it was still a weird arrangement. It was great, but not as amazing as she was the past three weeks.

9/10

[Cactus Jack]

CHRIS AND KATAHRINE WERE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EmoJoe]

i wish chris would've done "lonely no more". because now he has simon on his case...

[Cactus Jack]

Elliott is last :woohoo:!!!!

[EmoJoe]

Elliott is last :woohoo:!!!!
i already knew that cause of IDF spoilers :p

[EmoJoe]

Bucky Covington

"Real Good Man"- Tim McGraw

its pretty boring. he went back to his old, forgettable and boring ways. 5/10

Randy: I like that better, your back in your country roots
Paula: Good job, but I couldnt hear some of the things you sang
Simon: I couldnt understand anything you were singing. It was just ok. Its very unimpressive tonight, it was winging it, I would walk out if it was a (paegent?)

paris next.

[EmoJoe]

Paris Bennett

"Work It Out"- Beyonce

ehh i dont really like the song. her past 2 weeks have been better. and her dance moves are worse then taylor o_O. 7/10, i really didnt like it...

Randy: That was fearless, best performance of the night so far.
Paula: The Pussycat Dolls would want you
Simon: It was like a little girl pretending to be Beyonce.

thank you, simon :)

[Cactus Jack]

Bucky-YOU GO BYE BYE AND BACK TO F-CKIN YOUR WIFE AND CHCIKENS DOWN AT THE BARN!!!!


Paris- Just ok


DAVID,http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=168196

[David]

Bucky -- 7/10

Paris -- 9.5/10 -- It was the best so far tonight, but Simon's right when he's putting it in real perspective. It was definitely just a Beyonce-wannabe performance.

[theshark8777]

Bucky-YOU GO BYE BYE AND BACK TO F-CKIN YOUR WIFE AND CHCIKENS DOWN AT THE BARN!!!!





Damn Jack, settle down over there :lol:

[EmoJoe]

[theshark8777]

No, not at all. You were just getting too excited over there. :p

[theshark8777]

Bo sang this better last year :)

[EmoJoe]

Eliott Yamin


"I Don't Want to Be"- Gavin DeGraw

ugh, horrible choice.

it was a great performance, but vocally it was just...not that good. but it was fun and IMO, his best so far. 9/10

Randy: Weird arrangement, but you can sing
Paula: You are one funky white boy (um, ok?)
Simon: Great song, terrible arrangement, good vocal, hideous dancing.

[Cactus Jack]

[QUOTE=theshark8777]No, not at all. You were just getting too excited over there. :p[/QUOTE
Ah


Elliott was AWESOME,but yeah Bo's was ebtter

[EmoJoe]

Bo sang this better last year :)
:nod:

IMO, no one did that good tonight. chris, katharine, and eliott were the best, but not really "miles above" the others, because they were good, but not OGMGMGMGM AMAZING.

[EmoJoe]

is chris '06?

[theshark8777]

I really didn't think any of them blew me away... Not the best week by far.

[EmoJoe]

probably one of the worst (if not THE worst) idol show ever

every season has a week where no one does too good, and this was the week...

last year it was top 9, season 3 it was top 11.

Yeah definitely not that great.

I still want someone to make me a Katharine avatar :p

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Elliott - one of the best of the night!! Hes totally my 2nd fav. now, possibly tieing with Taylor
Paris - BEST TONIGHT!! Looooooved it. Simon didnt like hers, but liked Alohas last season? He doesnt make sense
Kellie - good, but I cannot stand her
Bucky - I dont like country, but it was good
Chris - OMG aweful. That kinda scared me. Wayyy too over the top and its about time Simon said something negative
Katharine - I dont know what the judges were smoking because that was aweful. Her high notes go right through me
Taylor - hot, but I wish I knew the song
Lisa - I liked it! But probably because I love Kellie and the song so.....
Ace - so damn sick of that song and that whole scar thing was one big ball of CHEESE
Mandisa - too over the top

Tonight was so rushed for me and I think the best part was George <3

thank you, simon :)That was an odd song choice, kind of dumb for her to pick that. The show isn't on here yet, but I already know I probably won't like Paris singing that song.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

you mean KELLY? :p
Ay gonyo. When Im talking about Kelly I say Kellie and vice versa. Im spent!

[Dr. John Becker]

Chris ROCKS. I liked Mandisa's performance also.
Katherine is the best of the night though, and she is a sexy, sexy woman.

[David]

probably one of the worst (if not THE worst) idol show ever

every season has a week where no one does too good, and this was the week...

last year it was top 9, season 3 it was top 11.

Yeah, hopefully this is the only horrible night.

Season 4 it was also Top 12. Wow, that was just abysmal.

[Dr. John Becker]

I loved Simon's comment about having so many songs to choose from, and choosing one about soap suds in a bucket.:lol:

[EmoJoe]

Yeah, hopefully this is the only horrible night.

Season 4 it was also Top 12. Wow, that was just abysmal.
yeah

and in season 3 it was also top 6. ok, i stand corrected. LATIN POP night was the worst night in Idol history.

not the contestants fault though, who thought "latin pop" was a good idea?!?!?

the only one who was even close to good that night was diana

[Cactus Jack]

yeah

and in season 3 it was also top 6. ok, i stand corrected. LATIN POP night was the worst night in Idol history.

Ditto


That shoulda had big band tahtw eek, really unfair for John Stevens they had it the week after

People here hated him, but I loved him :lol:

[EmoJoe]

Ditto

i thought he was ok. obviously not the best. i liked david better though.

top 6 night was his night to go though, if it wasnt him, george huff or jasmine trias would've probably gone with fantasia in the bottom 3, so yeah, would've been worse for him.

[Cactus Jack]

Yeah, ditto


Now last season... the week beforet he top 12 shhoulda been his week to go!

[EmoJoe]

he wouldn't have made it this year or last

i think a lot of contestants in seasons 1-3 would have been out before the top 12 if they were on season 4 or 5

[Cactus Jack]

he wouldn't have made it this year or last

i think a lot of contestants in seasons 1-3 would have been out before the top 12 if they were on season 4 or 5Ditto

Yeah, youre right except for Diana, LaToya, George, JPL , Fantasia and maybe Jennifer

[EmoJoe]

i made a thread based on our conversation. it was INSPIRED :D ^^ :p

[I Love John Ritter]

Wow, tonight was very average. Here are my thoughts.

Lisa - She did ok, not the best we've seen from her. I don't want her to leave, but I think she might be gone tomorrow.

Kellie - I really did not like it at all. I thought the song choice was bad and she didn't sing it very well, IMO.

Ace - This is probably one of his better performances, but I didn't think it was very good.

Mandisa - She did a good job but I didn't like the song choice.

Chris - I thought he did a good job, but I agree with Simon's comment. He needs to perform something else even thought he's great at what he knows best.

Taylor - I thought he did a very good job, one of the best of the night.

Katharine - Eh, I didn't like it at all. Definitely not one of her best.

Paris - I didn't like the song choice, but I thought she did well. One of the best tonight.

Bucky - I thought he did a good job considering the song choice. He might leave tomorrow, though.

Elliot - He did a nice job even thought this was not his best. One of the best tonight, though.

[Karen*]

Bucky-YOU GO BYE BYE AND BACK TO F-CKIN YOUR WIFE AND CHCIKENS DOWN AT THE BARN!!!!

:rotflmao: !!!!!!!!!!!

[Karen*]

Elliott was the best tonight! :thumbsup: :biglove:

...I think I'll go more in-depth about him and everyone else after I get off my coffee high...tomorrow. :lol:

[Karen*]

I still want someone to make me a Katharine avatar :p

I can do that for you! :D

[Cactus Jack]

:rotflmao: !!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D!!!

[felicitylen]

I thought last night was okay.
Lisa, Ace and Kelly were the worst and Elliot did the best. He actually made the song his own.

[David]

So here are my rankings, even though none of them did anywhere near their best.

1. Elliott
2. Paris
3. Katharine
4. Taylor >_<
5. Chris
6. Mandisa
7. Lisa
8. Kellie
9. Bucky
10. Ace
