New American Idol thread

<p>I agree Mimk.</p>

<p>So guess who the votetheworst web site is trying to get through? I can’t stand to watch her. Now I feel mean. But really - she makes me want to run from the room screaming.</p>

<p>I honestly think the judges put tatiana through for her craziness - for a lil drama and comic relief in the show. Now that she lost her weird laugh and all, she’s boring, really.</p>

<p>Tatiana is really annoying, but she wasn’t too bad tonight. Still, I prefer Alexis. And Danny’s about to perform.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Tatiana was one of the best ones tonight. C’mon, Danny!</p>

<p>I didn’t watch any of the run up shows so I had never seen her before. There are some good things about her voice but she needs help controlling it. No one hits those switches from chest voice to head voice and back and forth like Whitney in her day, but this girl wasn’t awful. </p>

<p>How can they be raving about that Hero song so much? Sometimes Simon is right.</p>

<p>And Danny was really, really good!</p>

<p>Braddy guy, Danny, and Alexis are my picks to go through. I’m all ready tired of Danny trying to get the sympathy vote.</p>

<p>I’d have to go with Braddy, Anoop and Alexis. I think Anoop can sing a lot better than he did tonight. I’d like to see the country guy get a break - it seems he’s been working at it for a long time, but I’m not a country music fan so it’s hard for me to be objective.</p>

<p>What’s the nature of the sympathy vote for Danny? I missed his intro.</p>

<p>His wife died 4 weeks before the first audition.</p>

<p>Ohhh - that explains a lot. I thought his performance was really average and he certainly doesn’t look the part so I was shocked that they were all freaked out about it. He’ll probably go through then.</p>

<p>So what’s the consensus? Who does everyone think is going to move on to the top 12?</p>

<p>Anoop, Danny and Alexis</p>

<p>Danny, Alexis, and…ugh…Tatiana.</p>

<p>Danny, Alexis, and I can’t pick the third.</p>

<p>I agree w/ nysmile, same 3. Braddy or whatever and Alexis top 2 imo, Danny good but just missed, I’d put him third. Anoop 4th. It still amazes me how bad some of the top 36 are, considering they started with, what, 100,000? Thought the beautiful dark haired one was the worst…she brutalized that song, was painful to watch. I do like the new judge. Much better than Paula. She actually has constructive, knowledgeable things to say.</p>

<p>I saw Alexis and liked her once again. We are in CA so have not seen all of them yet. I liked Danny before and of course we love to hate Tatiana since we can’t figure out how she got through in the first place!</p>

<p>Just saw Stevie and she was not good.</p>

<p>We will be rooting for Arianna Afsar (don’t think she is on tonight). We know her as she is from here in San Diego and we have seen her in productions around and she is good. We also like Adam Lambert who was in Wicked in LA and is very good. Don’t know what group he is in.</p>

<p>Danny Gokey was the best by a long shot. Noop Dog was next, but he needs to work on some kind of an image. The rest were ok or bad.</p>

<p>I’m rooting for #2 (forgot his name) and Alexis and Danny. Here is my beef with AI – as Paula said, #2 was never focused on during all the audition and Hollywood Week episodes whereas other singers such as Tatiana or Danny or the oil rigger received a lot of exposure. People already feel like they know those people and have already formed opinions, etc. It puts those who have had no exposure at a huge disadvantage. I kind of wonder if anyone has ever gotten to the top 12 who had no exposure in all the earlier episodes.</p>
