I didn't watch enough of it last night to know, but I do plan on watching the girls tonight. I did like Robbie Carrico last night though.

I am a little behind. Almost done with guys night still have to watch girls. Vacation left me behind on everything. But I feel there are too amny to compare right now. Definatly hate Danny N. though.

I don't know their names but I like the Australian guy, the 16yo kid and the 18yo gay guy :)

Not sure about the girls yet. I liked Carly until I heard she has already had her chance at putting out an album which didn't sell well so I am a little disenchanted with her....although I still love the accent. I *really* like the nurse rocker chick who sounds like Janis Joplin though.

lizirroja

02-20-2008, 08:06 PM

We love it over at this house. I don't remember the names either. But we like the Aussie, the 16 yo, and there was one other..oh yeah the dreadlock guy that looks like John Travolta (but if I could shave his head I would). Some of us like the rocker guy with long blond hair.

lornabrown

02-20-2008, 08:12 PM

We are AI junkies too. Thank god for the DVR though!! Way too many commercials.
Does Paula drive anyone else nuts? Seriously, what is she saying half the time?
So funny about dread lock guy looking like John Travolta.
I wish we could see everyone for one more week - no vote offs this week. It's too early. I think the guy who sang Moon River is going and so will the guy that Simon saids needs some fresh air. Poor guy.

Lynette

02-20-2008, 08:14 PM

Does Paula drive anyone else nuts? Seriously, what is she saying half the time?

Kathy Griffith does this whole thing on Paula Abdul in her Straight to Hell stand up act that they show on Bravo. It is really funny and right on :D

tcolera

02-20-2008, 08:14 PM

I tend to agree with Simon a lot of the time. I think Paula is always drunk. Don't you ever wonder what is mixe in her Coke cup?

lornabrown

02-20-2008, 08:23 PM

Paula looked horrible last night. I always think she is drunk too. Probably addicted to prescription pills.
If she would just say less she would be tolerable. Simon was great last night about the colors.
Lynette - I love Kathy Griffith. Can't wait for her show to come back on.
Simon pretty much calls it right. His British mentality is so brutal though. I feel bad for the contestants when he rips on them.

tcolera

02-20-2008, 08:25 PM

His British mentality is so brutal though. I feel bad for the contestants when he rips on them.

This is season 7 though and people know what they are getting into so I don't feel bad for them at all.

lizirroja

02-20-2008, 09:16 PM

Yeah, we nearly always agree with Simon. He goes a little too far. For some reason last night, the contestants seemed extra extra nervous. I mean that young kid was making me nervous sitting in my living room.

tcolera

02-20-2008, 09:18 PM

I think Chakeezi went overboard. I hate when the contestants get that mouthy. It's like he thnks he doesn't have to be respectful now that the judges don't make decisions. I would not vote for someone who is direspectful to the people who put them where they are.

surmick

My tivo ended up recording something else instead of last nights show. Does anyone have a copy that I could get of last night? I already feel so left out.

khanson

02-20-2008, 10:11 PM

My favs from tonight were Asia'h, Syesha, Amanda and Alexandrea.

lornabrown

02-20-2008, 11:10 PM

Lorah

02-21-2008, 09:13 AM

Same here. Fav girl is Syesha. Fav guy is Michael Johns. The hair on the rocker chick scares me.
Simon cracked us up with his sunny & yellow comment about Brooke. Does she remind anyone else of Farrah Fawcet?

Those are my favs too...

I really don't care for that rocker chick! Hehehe I loved the comments by Simon last night....oh my....Brooke totally looks like FF

tcolera

02-27-2008, 10:16 PM

So I love the david's this week (archuleta and Hernandez). WTF was up with Paula's comment (psycho)? As for the girls I love Carly and Asia'h!! There are more but those 2 really stand out for me.

lornabrown

02-27-2008, 11:37 PM

Rocker chick scared me tonight. I still love Syesha.
My dh is drooling over Kristi - the tomboy horse chick and Brooke - sunny happy yellow chick

Anyone want to call who will get sent home this week? Last week I was right on 3 of the 4.
I think for the guys, the Moon River guy will go - sorry I don't know names. He sang Moon River last week and a Doobie Bros song this week. I hope Chikeeze goes. His attitude pisses me off.
No idea for the girls. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if rocker chick goes and maybe Brittany Spears impersonator??

tcolera

02-28-2008, 12:12 AM

I am in for calling it I have to check the site and look at names with faces though. Too many to remember. So I will get back to you on that.

Lynette

02-28-2008, 12:17 AM

Ugh, the Moon River/Doobie Brothers guy was horrid! It made me start humming the Love Boat theme song because he looked like a cruise ship singer so I think he is going. I don't know about another guy, maybe the fake rocker?

Haven't watched the girls yet so no input.

tcolera

02-28-2008, 12:25 AM

I vote to lose Ramiele, hate the clothes she picks and she wasn't that great, Amanda, I thought she sounded awful, Jason, Not good enough, and Robbie, trying tohard to be a rocker plus he was forgettable to me.

Lorah

02-28-2008, 08:40 AM

I WANT Amanda to go, but Im thinking she will stay..she seriously irks me! I don't like her hair, voice, or style. jmho

I think Alexandrea and Alaina had weak performances last night. So I think they will go...though I'll say it again...Amanda can go! Please go!

Jason Yeager and Danny gotta go!

02-28-2008, 08:58 AM

i love amanda overymeyer and david archuleta and i have a huge crush on david cook except for when he tips his head back b/c it makes him look like he has a tree trunk neck and a double chin and it's hard to have a crush on a fatty rocker :lol

I think with Amanda you either really love her or you really don't....at least that is what I'm gathering from people I know.

I LOVE David A!!!!!!!! OMG he has an amazing voice!

Lynette

02-28-2008, 10:24 AM

No, don't get rid of Danny! I :love him! Ramiele with her little body and huge voice and then Amanda makes things interesting too. Lorah, you wanna get rid of all the unique people! :lol

David Cook's crazy ass porpoise forehead/combover thing trips me out. Bald rockers don't do it for me either :giggle

lizirroja

02-28-2008, 11:20 AM

Yeah David Cook doesn't do it for me, but I think he will stay a bit longer. I think Jason Yaeger is going and Robbie the wanna be rocker. As for the girls I love the Irish chick, but maybe I just like her because she is Irish...probably. I think Alaina and I'm afraid Amanda might be gone this week. Chikezie bugs me.

Lorah

02-28-2008, 12:47 PM

Lorah, you wanna get rid of all the unique people! :lol

Well, it's a singling cometition, to quote Simon, and although I TOATLLY agree that they are unique...VERY unique, doens't mean they sing well. Ya know.

I will say though...that all the unique people make the show more interesting...so I guess I'm okay with them staying around a little longer while the other singers that are forgettable just leave....then the others can go. ;)

Lorah

02-28-2008, 12:50 PM

Okay...I have a question unrelated to the singers... What is up wiht Simon holding his thumb against his forehead with his fingers up??? He looks like a kid in class holding his hand up way too long and starts resting his thumb on his head to prop it up longer.

And why does Ryan keep thanking Randy and Paula and then skips over Simon at the end of the show? I think it's funny, but I've been trying to figure out it that is all it is or if this is Ryan's way of sticking it to Simon for being ...well...Simon...

Lynette

02-28-2008, 02:32 PM

Yeah, I thought that looked kind of dumb myself last episode and Ryan did that once to be funny and I dunno, maybe he thinks it is still funny? I dunno, most of the stuff they seem to think are "burns" on Simon just make me :rolleyes because they aren't that witty.

tcolera

02-28-2008, 02:36 PM

Dh keeps asking me to translate "Good lookin out dog" :dunno I don't speak Jackson!!

Lorah

02-28-2008, 03:42 PM

Okay first of all you have to say it right... its dawg....

:biglaugh

Ya I joke around about the AI speak all the time...

Keep'n it real
yo yo yo yo looky here Dawg
I don't know if it's your thing
Very pitchy
Very karioke
In it to win it
that was ab-so-lutely terrible, an awful performance
I didn't get it.
That song was too big for you
Awful song choice
That was 100million % great
Joyful
Fun
I love you

I got 3 right! I didn't think Alexandrea would go.

tcolera

02-29-2008, 07:32 AM

I got 3 right! I didn't think Alexandrea would go.

When I was watching the show I was sure she was gonna go, but she was so forgettable to me that I didn't think of her when I was picking people.

Lorah

02-29-2008, 07:34 AM

I got one guy and one girl right...but the other two I was actually a little surprised about.

lizirroja

02-29-2008, 10:22 AM

When I was watching the show I was sure she was gonna go, but she was so forgettable to me that I didn't think of her when I was picking people.
I think that was her downfall...people *forgot* to vote for her. She is actually not bad and she's really cute.

tcolera

02-29-2008, 12:50 PM

Outfits bug me though and hers was awful. It looked like she was wearing my DH's shorts and witch boots.

I'm usually on my computer so I don't notice that stuff. LOL That would probably annoy me too. I did notice her weird bandanna thingy last night and I thought how I would never be able to wear that in front of millions.

khanson

02-29-2008, 04:15 PM

I'm *just* watching it right now on DVR. I can't believe Alexandrea got voted off. I didn't really see her as unforgettable, but then again, I'm a HUGE Chicago fan.

03-06-2008, 08:03 AM

I think Amanda just has that aire about her like I don't care what you think about me. JMO tho.

I hope it's Kady and Kristi. I really liked Amanda last night and I think she brings something different to the competition and makes it feel not so bubble gum-ish this year :)

Lorah

03-06-2008, 08:09 AM

So here is my guess for who goes this week, based on who I didn't like. For the boys I say Luke and Chekeezi. For the girls I say Amanda and Kady.

Was it just me or did Amanda look really look confused on stage?

Amanda had something going in for sure!!! She was so not herself last night....I think it must be something personal going on or something.

Lorah

03-06-2008, 08:11 AM

I say Amanda and Kady gotta go, and my third choice to go is Asia'h.

Danny and Chikezie and Jason Castro as a third choice to go.

khanson

03-06-2008, 08:12 AM

Oh man, you're harsh! I love Asia'h!

khanson

03-06-2008, 08:13 AM

Is anyone actually voting? I totally don't.

Lorah

03-06-2008, 08:14 AM

She is my 3rd choice....I don'think she should go this week....but she should go sooner than later I think....I don't like her sound...it sounds like she sings through her nose to me. Sorry.

Lorah

03-06-2008, 08:14 AM

nope...I'm in bed....but my sister does....hahah 17 year old.....of course she votes..hahahaha I tell her who I like. ;)

Lynette

03-06-2008, 08:21 AM

Is anyone actually voting? I totally don't.

As many times as I have watched it, I have never voted :lol

tcolera

03-06-2008, 11:23 AM

I dont vote because sometime I am a day late watching.

Lynette

03-06-2008, 02:07 PM

Same Tammy, we are just watching it today actually :) So having said that, I think Luke is toast for sure but I dunno about the other boy, could be Chikeezie and I hope it isn't Danny, he cracks me up :D Not done with girls but I think Kady is out of there and I like Amanda so I hope she stays too.

khanson

03-06-2008, 02:57 PM

Lynette - I think you and I are the only ones that like Amanda :lol Maybe we should be voting for her :)

Lynette

03-06-2008, 03:02 PM

Lynette - I think you and I are the only ones that like Amanda :lol Maybe we should be voting for her :)

Yeah, sounds like she could use our votes :D Salina just loves her, she likes Carly for her accent but Amanda is her fav.

khanson

03-06-2008, 03:03 PM

I think Carly is good too, but they are both good for different reasons!

khanson

03-06-2008, 03:03 PM

I've got to say, none of the guys are *really* exciting me this season. I think a girl will win again.

Lorah

03-06-2008, 04:40 PM

You ladies do know that one reason Danny and Amanda are staying on is that http://www.votefortheworst.com/ has them as the ones to vote for, right?

tcolera

03-06-2008, 08:27 PM

Danny makes me wanna puke. David Cook was actually my fav boy this week. The girls were so hard to choose.

Lynette

03-06-2008, 09:01 PM

You ladies do know that one reason Danny and Amanda are staying on is that http://www.votefortheworst.com/ has them as the ones to vote for, right?

I saw that but quite honestly, I don't think they really have as much pull as they think they do. I mean, if you really hated a show would you seriously spend time watching it just to bag on it? But again, I really don't believe it is only based on votes because I don't think the producers who put millions of $$$ into it would let the public decide especially when there are sites like that.

CMT

:yeah
my skeptical side says it's all rigged
BUT, I still like Amanda. :) Glad Daniel is one though. He was too cocky for me.
I :heart David Cook. He's who I have a crush on this season :love
Last year it was Blake (although he's still on my list, :giggle)

khanson

03-06-2008, 10:34 PM

So I missed it tonight. Who got knocked off?

erin anne

03-06-2008, 11:28 PM

I didn't see the whole thing, but the guy who looks like Orlando Bloom (don't know his name) and Danny got kicked off (thank god, he drove me batty)

Lorah

03-07-2008, 07:19 AM

Luke and Danny

Asia'h and Kady

Lorah

03-14-2008, 09:23 AM

Okay, so is anyone else :headscratch about David Hernandez getting the boot?! There were SO many others that did crapier then he did. Kristy Lee was awful imo and she hasn't been doing all that well lately and I was SURE she was going to go.....ohhh and what was Syesha doing in the bottom 3?!?!?!

I think something was rigged.

lornabrown

03-14-2008, 09:39 AM

I don't think it was that off. It was def going to be either David or Kristy. I love Syesha but didn't think she did a great performance. To get to this point in the competition is great so David did really well, it was just time.

Lorah

03-14-2008, 09:42 AM

I agree that Syesha didn't do that well, but the other David (the young one) totally forgot the lyrics, Jason has been getting worse and worse each week....I totally thought there were others whose performance was worse than Syesha and David H.

I think something was up because of the recent stripper discovery personally.

tcolera

03-14-2008, 12:11 PM

I didn't watch the whole show because I thought this week was pretty boring as a whole. After Amanda I was done. Hope next week is better.:)

Lynette

03-14-2008, 01:23 PM

Lorah

03-14-2008, 01:28 PM

Oh I think there is something to the stripper thing but I didn't like him in general, he was so smarmy like he was going to bust out into that "I'm Too Sexy" song any minute :rolleyes

That manic hill billy rendition of 8 Days a Week was awful but I think she is the only country type on there so people who like country will vote for her. Jason and David A have the screaming little girl vote so they will be around for awhile. Although David A had a bad week, I really think he is something special and it would have been a shame if he got the boot.

:giggle you said smarmy! I LOVE that word! I could see that. But I still like his voice. It was different...though there are others who are much better, I agree.

OMG I'm glad I am not the only one who thought that was an AWFUL attempt on 8 days a week! It was painful to watch once let alone a second time when all of the bottom 3 did their songs again...YIKES!

I really like David A! He is sweet and has a great voice for a 17 year old...well for any age really. I would have been really upset if he was booted....I was just making the point that others did worse than the 3 (well other than Kristy obviously she was bad).
