<p>Frank, Sammy or Dean. I don’t think the Joey Bishop or Peter Lawford songbook was too extensive.</p>
<p>Anoop is gone! 
I am going to stop watching the American Idol now. I suspect most of the South East Asians will do the same.</p>
<p>They give Anoop the boot. I would urge all SE Asians to give American Idol the boot!</p>
<p>Ooh, Adam singing Frank Sinatra. I think I’m going to swoon :)</p>
<p>Pharmagal: I thought that Anoop had a lot of potential. The performance last night seemed to much more relaxed and he looked like he was having fun. Can I be asian too?</p>
<p>I’ll probably keep watching just because I watch with my daughter. I just don’t get the whole Adam thing.</p>
<p>I think Paula ought to do the choreography each week. They would learn a lot from her.</p>
<p>
That should be a very “Rocky Horror Picture Show meets The Rat Pack” moment.</p>
<p>sorry if I was wrong about “jazz” next week. That’s what I had read.</p>
<p>I really liked Anoop from the first audition. And I do love men in pink.</p>
<p>That being said…Adam, Adam, Adam.</p>
<p>Not too far off, mafool. The Rat Pack has some swingin’ jazz tunes.</p>
<p>I hope Adam picks Sammy over Frank. BUt it will be interesting. I would bet Matt will pick a Frank tune. He already has the hat.</p>
<p>I can so see Matt doing Mack the Knife.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I thought it was a talent competition not a race competition.</p>
<p>i think they got it exactly right. …anoop is wonderful, but kind or one-level. I honestly think this is the best season of talent yet…and the remaining contestants are there because they really are the best.</p>
<p>Bringing the thread to the top in preparation for tonight.</p>
<p>HOWEVER…this week is the Rat Pack. And they have Jamie Foxx as the mentor. How is Jamie Foxx related to either the Rat Pack or American Idol? </p>
<p><scratching my=“” head=“” like=“” i=“” did=“” with=“” tarantino=“”></scratching></p>
<p>Have the Idol producers really run out of singing mentor talent???</p>
<p>Does Fox have some kind of involvement in his new movie (which didn’t do as well as expected if I heard correctly re last weekend’s box office)? Cross promotion?</p>
<p>Well, Jamie Foxx is actually a musician, unlike Tarentino. Perhaps the tenuous connection is that, like Sinatra, he has won an Oscar in addition to having success as a recording artist?</p>
<p>Maybe they should have chosen the Brat Pack rather than the Rat Pack - they are not quite as unavailable.</p>
<p>^ Good idea. Just don’t let Rob Lowe sing to Snow White. :)</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to what Adam will do tonight!</p>
<p>D was looking though her Playbills yesterday and called me laughing. When we saw Wicked in LA I guess Adam was on as Fiyero that day. D remembered that she had liked that Fiyero the best out of the ones she had seen on the tour and in New York!</p>
<p>I can’t get the channel that AI is on nowadays, but I have checked out some of the videos on their web site.</p>
<p>I continue to really like Danny. Adam is too into showing off what his voice can do to give a moving performance, from what I’ve seen. (Tracks of My Tears as an example.) He just doesn’t appeal to me as a performer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I mostly watch the show to see what Adam will come up with next. I keep thinking he has got to screw up at some point, but he keeps improving his performances. I like the way he gives credit to others who helped him with his arrangements.</p>
<p>I think it will be Adam and Danny in the finals.</p>
