LOL she already did my chocie for her this week) Kristy-As funny as her doing Ghostbusters or Footloose orJump would be, she'd probably do something by Cyndi Lauper or Let's Hear It For the Boy EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 04:44 PM Song choices: (source: TMZ) syesha-if i were a woman by stephanie mills david cook-billie jean carly-total eclipse of the heart chikeze-if only for one night brooke-every breath you take jason-fragile by sting ramiele-alone michael johns-we are the champions kristy-god bless the usa david a- your the voice by david foster some great choices, some...interesting choices.

I guess it has to do with song rights. Miss You was a better choice for Michael. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:06 PM Michael Johns singing We Are The Champions. :rotflmao: David C doing Billie jean :rotflmao: Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:06 PM i know lmao...what the heck. and same for Ramiele and Kristy's choices.

Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:30 PM That isn't all that weird. :lol: LOL its so not him though Stormtracker TF 03-25-2008, 06:31 PM LOL its so not him though Neither was "Hello". Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:32 PM Yeah, nothing would be all that strange from him cause it's not like he's going to do the straight up original version. True Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:33 PM Neither was "Hello". True! EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 06:36 PM Yeah, nothing would be all that strange from him cause it's not like he's going to do the straight up original version. now my "Umbrella" choice for him doesnt sound so far off :) Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:37 PM now my "Umbrella" choice for him doesnt sound so far off :) LOL Stormtracker TF 03-25-2008, 06:37 PM now my "Umbrella" choice for him doesnt sound so far off :) Considering how many people have done rock covers of that it wouldn't be shocking. OneRepublic sang it on tour. :lol: Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:38 PM Considering how many people have done rock covers of that it wouldn't be shocking. OneRepublic sang it on tour. :lol: LOL they did? Thats hilarious Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 06:41 PM I hope J. Geils Band give them the rights to Centerfold same for Tommy Tutone and 867-5309 STAT just saw that Centerfold was actually released in 1981, but wasnt #1 till early 82 Or was it, dam Wikipedia EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 08:08 PM Ramiele - i didnt think it was as bad as Randy thought either...it's hard not to compare it to Carrie's though. it was a little over-the-top in the middle but i thought it was PRETTY good JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:16 PM Well Jason is no Sting but it wasn't bad. Like Randy and Paula said there wasn't anything that wowed me in that song JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:23 PM Wow just like Randy said I feel the same way it was the best I've heard Syesha sing so far EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 08:23 PM Jason - meh, not that good. im getting bored of him. Syesha - this was really good, though i still dont care for the whole "diva" thing. still, a really great vocal. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:32 PM Ramiele- was alright not that bad though Syesha- awesome Jason-not as great as expected Chikeze-ehhh alright I liked my choice better even One Night In Bangkok JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:34 PM Chikeze wasn't bad but it wasn't his best. Brook singing a Police song this should be interesting EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 08:34 PM Chikezie - boring. he needs to stick to the uptempo songs. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:39 PM Chikezie - boring. he needs to stick to the uptempo songs. Shoulda done Part Time Lover JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:41 PM Oh no she screwed up at the beginning Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:42 PM Brooke was pretty good EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 08:43 PM Brooke - i dunno what the judges were talking about, i really liked this. i agree that she sounded better on her own though. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:44 PM no. guess youre right that one's too overdone on here JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:46 PM Brooke was pretty good not her best. I think she needs to pick better songs because when she does she shines. I am still going to vote for her though EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 08:46 PM guess youre right that one's too overdone on here i guess it wouldve been okay, but i dunno :lol: its overdone JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:53 PM Micheal did a great job I loved it :clap: Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:53 PM i guess it wouldve been okay, but i dunno :lol: its overdone LOL yeah Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:54 PM Micheal was AWESOME! Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 08:57 PM Micheal was AWESOME! So was Carly! JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 08:59 PM Carly was GREAT!!!!!!!!! Loved it loved it loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's hope David is on top of his game tonight I love this young guy EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:00 PM Michael - AWESOME! Michael's back! his best yet by far. Carly - WAY too over-the-top. she could've done it really nicely with it because it's a perfect song for her (STFU Randy), but instead she tried to turn it into a hardcore rock song and screamed it. she started off good, but the middle and end were pretty bad. aah come on David!!! Stormtracker TF 03-25-2008, 09:01 PM Michael was good. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 09:06 PM David A- Awesome, better song choice than I thought. JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 09:08 PM David's song was great but I still think Micheal is my favorite so far Brian Damage 03-25-2008, 09:09 PM Simon had me cracking up! A Theme Park song with animated creatures. :rofl: EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:09 PM David Arch - i agree that the song was weird, but i'd hardly call it a theme park performance. o_O oh well, this is the same guy who said Syesha wasn't good lol. i thought he sang it REALLY well. another good performance. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 09:11 PM David A- Awesome, better song choice than I thought. It was a weird song though. *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:15 PM THAT'S RIGHT KRISTY. Get that American pride vote! JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 09:16 PM It was a weird song though. I agree it was weird choice for him but it wasn't awful either. :eek: I can't believe I am going to say this but I liked her song it wasn't the best of the night but it was a good choice for her *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:17 PM And what the ****ing hell did David Archuleta sing. :confused: Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 09:17 PM Kristy-was pretty good! EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:18 PM Kristy - she was actually pretty good. weird song, but she sang it well. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 09:18 PM And what the ****ing hell did David Archuleta sing. :confused: Ditto, apprently it's called Under the Sea...UMM YOU'RE THE VOICE *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:18 PM Kristy - she was actually pretty good! weird song, but she sang it well. Get out of this great country, COMMIE. :mad: EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:18 PM And what the ****ing hell did David Archuleta sing. :confused: and why the hell are you not on MSN *cough* EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:19 PM Get out of this great country, COMMIE. :mad: i like the song but it just seems weird cause we sang it in chorus in THIRD GRADE. lol. *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:19 PM Ditto, apprently it's called Under the Sea...UMM YOU'RE THE VOICE LOL well that is a horrendous song. o.O However, he sounded great. *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:20 PM and why the hell are you not on MSN *cough* 'CAUSE I AM NOT READY. :happyface EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:20 PM 'CAUSE I AM NOT READY. :happyface :mad: I HAVE THINGS TO SAY. *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:21 PM GURL IMMA BE ON IN LIKE 3 MINS Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 09:25 PM LOL well that is a horrendous song. o.O However, he sounded great. LOL yeah David C-More awesome than I thought JoPol_wannabe 03-25-2008, 09:26 PM Ok I change my vote David Cook was the best singer tonight wow that was way to awesome :rock: props: EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:29 PM David C - this was good, but the "you're the most bold contestant ever" line pisses me off. all of his songs are covers that he didnt do. Cactus Jack 03-25-2008, 09:34 PM David C - this was good, but the "you're the most bold contestant ever" line pisses me off. all of his songs are covers that he didnt do. That IS true *InThisMoment* 03-25-2008, 09:35 PM LOL I love how David Cook takes songs and makes them UNRECOGNIZABLE. It's definitely not my thing, but I don't care that the judges are hyping him up. At least it takes the pressure off David A to be the best every single week. EmoJoe 03-25-2008, 09:43 PM ok tonight's rankings. im ranking them on how much i enjoyed them, not how good they actually were. theres a difference. :) translation: IM BEING BIASED. 1. Michael 2. David A 3. Kristy 4. Syesha 5. Brooke 6. David C 7. Ramiele 8. Jason 9. Carly 10. Chikezie aand im gonna guess Bottom 3: Jason, Ramiele, Chikezie Bottom 2: Ramiele, Chikezie Eliminated: Chikezie JT 03-26-2008, 12:17 AM ok tonight's rankings. im ranking them on how much i enjoyed them, not how good they actually were. theres a difference. :) translation: IM BEING BIASED. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. My favorite performances of the night were David Cook, Michael, and Syesha. Carly...too much of an attempt to rock it up. I don't think she truly understands the song. Jason...dull, boring. I didn't get to see Chikezie or Brooke. Ramiele was a little dull, but I liked her performance. Kristy did good. David A. was okay. I actually liked the song, and his performance was actually good, but I think he's trying too hard to live up to the hype. Congratulations, fans, now he thinks he truly is the human form of the cure for the common cold. And it's making his performances lack. I don't care how David C performs his songs. He does a damn good job, IMO, and he still keeps the meaning of the song in there. He still conveys the mood of the song. What Paula said about Carly, about how she makes her like songs she doesn't care for (btw, Paula, STFU, Total Eclipse is better than any of YOUR crap, and Bonnie Tyler can kick your tail!), I think I can say about David. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan nor a Beatles fan, and that's not to say I don't like "Billie Jean" or "Eleanor Rigby," but he made me reeeeally like those songs, and now, when I hear the original versions...it makes me like the original just a bit more too. *InThisMoment* 03-26-2008, 01:18 AM Yeah, that's what I was thinking. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w159/DorkyW00tage31/wowscary.gif JT 03-26-2008, 01:48 AM http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w159/DorkyW00tage31/wowscary.gif Random. But I must admit, I loved me some Thomas the Tank Engine when I was little. Used to watch "Shining Time Station" eeeevery afternoon. Stormtracker TF 03-26-2008, 02:00 AM Yeah, that's what I was thinking. My favorite performances of the night were David Cook, Michael, and Syesha. Carly...too much of an attempt to rock it up. I don't think she truly understands the song. Jason...dull, boring. I didn't get to see Chikezie or Brooke. Ramiele was a little dull, but I liked her performance. Kristy did good. David A. was okay.

Looks like you're not the only one who feels that way. http://blogs.usatoday.com/idolchatter/2008/03/david-a----is-h.html (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU) JT 03-26-2008, 02:15 AM And that is relevant...how? Chocoholic 03-26-2008, 03:25 PM This is the first week so far this season that I think the girls actually outperformed most of the guys. 1. Michael- Definitely my favorite of the night. 2. David Cook- I agree with Simon and Randy. He is the most talented out of all of them. He or Michael should win based on talent. 3. Kristy Lee- I ranked her this high only because I can't diss someone who sings "God Bless the USA" :) She actually didn't sound too bad, although she still needs to do a lot more to impress me. 4. Brooke- I thought she played it a little safe last night. Still far better than her performance last week. 5. Syesha- I agree with the judges. That was her best performance. 6. Ramiele- She did a good job with that song although I think it would have been a better song for Brooke to sing. 7. Carly- I thought the judges were a little harsh on her. I didn't think she was all that bad. 8. Jason- He really needs to inject a little personality into his songs. 9. Chickeze- I like upbeat Chickeze a lot better than slow song Chickeze. 10. David A.- Sorry, but I agree with Simon. I was half expecting people in Disney costumes to jump out and sing along. I thought he was the worst of the night. I think Jason, Chickeze, or Carly might be going. Of course, you never know with this show. EmoJoe 03-26-2008, 03:40 PM 6. Ramiele- She did a good job with that song although I think it would have been a better song for Brooke to sing. if Brooke sang "Alone" i would stop supporting her because that would be the dumbest move ever. actually its a pretty dumb move for anyone because "Alone" is Carrie's song <3 Cactus Jack 03-26-2008, 03:47 PM if Brooke sang "Alone" i would stop supporting her because that would be the dumbest move ever. actually its a pretty dumb move for anyone because "Alone" is Carrie's song <3 :nod: Ditto, and it should always be Carrie's Chocoholic 03-26-2008, 03:50 PM I wasn't watching Idol back then, but I love Carrie. I'll have to see if there's a video clip of her singing that song somewhere in cyberspace. EmoJoe 03-26-2008, 03:58 PM I wasn't watching Idol back then, but I love Carrie. I'll have to see if there's a video clip of her singing that song somewhere in cyberspace. it's on YouTube - you should watch it, it's IMO the best Idol performance of all-time. Cactus Jack 03-26-2008, 04:15 PM it's on YouTube - you should watch it, it's IMO the best Idol performance of all-time. :nod: Chocoholic 03-28-2008, 03:25 PM I found it. She was amazing. I hope she releases it as a single soon. Karen* 03-28-2008, 03:48 PM So I went to the rehearsal on Tuesday <3 and it was seriously such an amazing experience seeing it live. However, I think some people did do better there than on the actual show, particularly Ramiele, Jason, Brooke, Chikezie, and Carly. Everyone else did as well as they did on the taped portion. Random insider info and stuff about my personal experience in LA: - Everyone looks and sounds a lot better in person. :p - We all sang Happy Birthday to Jason before the rehearsal started. - Ryan thinks Carly's mom is hot. He made some random joke about her after Carly sang but you could totally tell he was diggin her. - David Cook and Ramiele are definitely chums. At the end of the rehearsal when they were all together, they stood next to each other, talking and pointing to random people in the audience. Then David wrapped her in a bear hug and it was seriously one of the cutest things ever. :biglove: :heart: - Michael Johns was in a car behind us when my friends drove around the studio before rehearsal. - Constantine from season 4 passed by Johnny Rocket's where me and my friends had lunch before the rehearsal. :rofl: - Chikezie's parents passed me and a friend by outside the studio after the actual taping. Ummmm, that's it. If you guys wanna know anymore, just ask. :) EmoJoe 03-28-2008, 03:50 PM YOU SAW CHIKEZIE'S MOM?! Chikezie's mom is the most amazing person ever. well one of them-LOL. anyway, that sounds awesome, Karen. i wanna go to a taping/dress rehersal but i live like 98918932132 miles away Karen* 03-28-2008, 03:54 PM YOU SAW CHIKEZIE'S MOM?! Chikezie's mom is the most amazing person ever. well one of them-LOL. anyway, that sounds awesome, Karen. i wanna go to a taping/dress rehersal but i live like 98918932132 miles away :lol: I love her too. She's hilarious. Well, the tour is the closest thing to it. :p I feel so privileged I was able to go. I might go back for the finale. My friend says she'll introduce me to David Cook if that happens. :eek: EmoJoe 03-28-2008, 03:56 PM :lol: I love her too. She's hilarious. Well, the tour is the closest thing to it. :p I feel so privileged I was able to go. I might go back for the finale. My friend says she'll introduce me to David Cook if that happens. :eek: :eek: awesome! i know how much you love Phat Kracka. Cactus Jack 03-28-2008, 04:36 PM Thats awesome Kee-Ron! |
