I wanted a guy to win too. :( No offense, but this show is starting to become SEXIST. lol. :lol:

Its only the beginning, people improve and some get worse. If a guy doesnt win Im going to get violent. ITS MY TIME :cuss: I think 3 years is enough torture!

Yeah...I want a guy to win too.

The judges say this could possibly be the best season yet. So far, the auditions have been amazing and that they have been a lot better then the auditions for Seasons 3 and 4. Theres been A LOT of talent so far, according to the judges.

^^Thats from a couple of articles.

From Today's New York Times:

In order to establish a stronger presence on Thursday, Fox has been considering expanding what it calls the "results show" of "Idol," which reveals the contestant who has been eliminated, from a half-hour to an hour.

Fox executives said last night that the network would announce its plans for the scheduling of "American Idol" today and that the Thursday option was thought to be more likely than it was as recently as last week.

:woohoo:

NOOOO!

Oh you have no idea how excited I am. AI season premeires are like, a big deal to me. I might have to take the day off and party or something. I miss not seeing my Ryans face every week.

MAYBE IF WE'RE LUCKY CLAIKENS WILL GO ON AND PERFOM BACK FOR MORE SINCE PAST IDOLS USUALLY GO ON. I doubt this would ever happen, but it would be nice. You know we aint gonna see Kelly on it again!

I think once you get the complete Hollywood list, you [or anyone] should make a thread with a poll of all of them as to who the next Idol will be. Just based on names :lol:.

^^:lol: that would be cool, I wonder if we would actually be right :p On IDF theres a whole thread on about this list and it has pictures of the contestants and everything, I'll try to post them but all you have to do is google their names and their pics usually come up. One was on "I Want to Be a Hilton" I think.

People on IDF are saying Becky O'Donahue is the Irish gril that Simon likes, and Paula gave her a standing ovation at her audition (<- big shocker there [/sarcastic]), but she might not be that girl.

Theres one pic of a guy that looks like a scarier version of Bo :eek:

:eek:


IDOL CLATTER: During the same above-mentioned call, Ryan Seacrest also promised American Idol fans a much more intense competition when Season 5 bows on Jan. 17. "I think we've seen more drama, if you will, and more individual competitive spirit than ever before, whereas in years past, people were very politically correct and almost polite about the other contestants. This year," he previews, "you're going to see [everyone] going for it, because all they care about is winning" — and/or getting a Skechers deal.

I forgot where I heard this from, but I heard Fox will be showing reruns of AI4 in the days before the season 5 premiere! :D

Cool! :D Theres some satellite channel called Fox reality or something that's gonna replay the whole season.

:eek:

Wow, I'm excited :woohoo:

Drama is always fun to watch.

Just please no more lame-o drama like Elizabeth Pha and Scott Savol last year. Haha.

^Seriously :lol:

Who's Elizabeth Pha and what happened between her and Scott last year? :confused:

Who's Elizabeth Pha and what happened between her and Scott last year? :confused:
Elizabeth Pha= Girl who went all drama queen last year during the Hollywood rounds (it was on group day) because her group was "putting too much pressure" on her or something, I dont know, it was ********.

Scott's Drama= He was placed with two kids who were like the opposite of him and they were almost afraid of him and he was mad and stuff :lol:

Yay! I always wondered how they could be so lovey to the ones theyre competing with. Probably because they dont vote eacother off, its in the hands of American so they dont have a direct reason to be against eachother. Id love to see someone get voted off and they get all pissed saying so and so shouldve gone... thatd be awesome!

The top 24 has been chosen and supposedly there's a lot of diverstiy this year. I know one person who made it to the top 24 (thanks to IDF) and her name is







Paris Bennet

Can you post the list of the top 24? :D

*WARNING* SPOILERS FOR POSSIBLE TOP 24 CONTESTANT

Yeah. I dont like her. At all. I dont think she should make top 12. If she makes top 12 I dont think she can make it past top 9 or 10. Everyone last season was better then her (yes, even Scott, and you KNOW it takes a lot for me to say that). I hope that's not what the other singers are like. I dont think she can make it far unless she pulls a John S/Scott.

Lets start the countdown to AI5! :D

LETS ALL PLACE BETS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously! :lol:

Top 24 is in this thread (http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=390510&st=20) of IDFIm gonna try to make predictions for the top 12 :lol: this is judging them by looks and what we know about them so far.


I think Ace Young is gonna be this year's JPL/Constantine, so I think he'll make top 12 cause he'll get all of the teen girl votes, despite his voice. However, I think he'll only make 6th, 7th or 8th place because the teen girl favorites usually dont make it to the top 5 (Constantine- 6th, JPL-8th...ect)

If Becky O'Donahue is the "irish girl" the judges have been talking about then she could possibly make it far, because, like Fantasia and Carrie, she's already being talked about pre-season.

I think Ayla Brown could make it far because there's a lot of anticipation and hype for her. I havent heard her voice yet, though.

I dont think Paris Bennet will go very far. I dont even think she'll make top 12. I've heard her sing from a clip on IDF and she sounds almost exactly like Aloha. Her voice sounds like the Season 3 Divas, Mikalah, Janay, and Aloha combined. puke: And no one on IDF likes her too much so I dont think she'll get many votes.

I didnt look, I dont wanna spoil it :p
I peeked :lol: But only about 5-6 names are there anyway.
