Had to get to this thread!!! How do you the goof that sang Believe? He certainly did NOT sound like Cher and Simon said he does and he she be a female impersonator plus the kid said he could sing Judy Garland too, LMAO!!! I thought please NO.. He thought he was standing up to Simon cuz he said he is not leaving there without his dignity.. Plus a girl did Anastacia "Left Outside Alone" and I thought oh yea but it wasn't too good, they didn't pick her..

I agree the guy sucks but also seemed like Simon not too much a Cher fan huh? Cos the guy said "well Cher's a good singer" and he kinda didn't respond..The guy was REALLY bad ! REALLY bad..he would not even be a good impersonator! LOL..tonite's grammys for me..so gonna tape idol tonite

Maybe Simon heard how Cher does not like the show. I didn't think the guy sounded anything like Cher, he didn't sing well at all. If he really sounded like Cher he would have been put through.

I knew there would be a comment on here about last night show!!! LOL! I DID NOT think he sounded like Cher at all...at anytime during that song! He was soooo bad! I couldn't believe that he got so upset about simon suggestion to be a male impersonator...omg the ones I know are great and so much fun...but of course they can sing! DEE

OMG they had that guy on my radio station today! Forgot his name now, but they had him do his impression of Judy Garland...he did over the rainbow and he doesn't sound anymore like Judy than he did Cher! They talked to him for quit a while and he told them that his segment with the judges was actually 30 minutes long...he liked the way they edited it. He said that he wasn't really mad at simon because he is entitled to freedom of speech just like anyone else. And he doesn't understand why people let what the judges say bother them, cause they are entitled to their opinions too. He knew he wasn't going to make it...his friend auditioned also and she talked him into doing is "Cher" for the judges. Our radio station had him sign believe along with Cher (quietly in background) so you could hear how similar they sounded and I couldn't believe how bad he did it even with Cher leading him!!!! Lots called in and said he sounded NOTHING like Cher but he insisted that he did! He also ended up doing Elton John on the radio before he was done....it was quit amusing for the ride into work!! DEE

Did anyone here watch "American Idol" on Tuesday night (Feb. 14)? It was "Shoop Shoop Song" mania!! LOL!! The remaining 99 finalists split into groups, and a lot of the groups performed "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)", so that was kinda fun to watch... Anyone else see it?
And I think that Simon should've just told that one twin to take a hike... I wouldn't have let him back in... I realize it was a misunderstanding because he thought that the judges had eliminated his twin brother, but still... I would've said, "SEE YA, WOULDN'T WANNA BE YA!" and showed him the door...

I was kinda shocked that Becky O'Donohue got eliminated so early...I admit she doesn't really have the best voice or anything, but I thought her looks would carry her along for awhile with a ton of "SHE'S HOT!" straight boy votes... Plus, I admired her for picking a song like "Because The Night"... I thought it was a very brave choice, but I think she would've done much better if she had slowed it down some and performed it more like how 10,000 Maniacs did.
And why didn't Stevie Scott perform her song on Tuesday night like she did on Thursday after she got eliminated? Was it just me, or did she sound WAY better on Thursday night? I didn't like Tuesday's performance much at all, and thought she deserved to be eliminated based on that performance... but she definitely has a great voice for opera, so she should just stick with that instead of trying to become "the new Amy Lee" or something...
I thought that the Fanilow guy who sang "Copacabana" definitely deserved to go -- I was totally cracking up when they showed that clip of him during his audition, and Simon said, "you look like you're drunk!" I couldn't have said it any better myself, because it is sooo true, and watching him sing after that was a riot!!!... and then when he got all "proud" of Barry for having a #1 album recently. LOL!
I thought that it was so hilarious when David Radford's intro video on Wednesday night was him talking on and on about how he wanted to shake things up because all he had performed so far was "crooner" songs like Sinatra, or whatever... and then he comes out and "croons" to Queen! It was just so funny...
And I totally did not get why the judges were so in love with Elliott's performance of "If You Really Love Me"... Simon was just gushing over him, and I did not really get that at all... I was not that impressed really - and I thought that he was WAY off on the timing at the beginning of the song... once he got back on track, it was okay, but the first 30 seconds were just a mess, in my opinion... but I'm glad he didn't get cut and I think he'll do well.
As far as the guys, I really, really like Ace (for obvious reasons!) -- his performance of "Father Figure" was great. And Taylor Hicks has talent, no doubt, but I think he's not going to make it all the way unless he stops with the whole Ray Charles imitations... but if you close your eyes when he's singing, it ain't so bad because he really does have a great voice...
The two girls that have impressed me the most are Mandisa and Paris Bennett, so I'm rooting for both of them to do well.

I think most of the girls are great..the very 1st one they eliminated I thought was real good..I think Simon is really the best of the 3 judges..Paula likes and tells everyone even if they stink..At least Simon is honest..I am addicted to Idol once again

Yea, Kellie mega-butchered "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" last night... that was a shame, especially since she was told that she did a great job during the dress rehearsal....
I'm rooting for Chris or Catherine "McPheever" and my boyfriend is rooting for Elliot...

U totally have my taste in music Dann..Those are the 2 I am routing for as well as my friends here in LI..I think they will be final two in the end too! I hope anyways..would be happy if either won too..Can't wait to see Rod perform tonite..Love him..I actually prefer his old stuff even more..saw him many times live..great performer..and so good w/a crowd and wow he STILL looks good..love his sexy accent

I thought Rod sounded bad last night...his voice sounded like it was going...real scratchy. I was bummed that Ace went home....expected it but was still bummed. Thought Kelly should have really gone, seeing how she did butcher her song so bad. But it is a popularity contest and she has the votes. I don't really like chris at all...I think he really tends to do the same old style to much. I do like Katherine but I think Elliot is really good. Unfortunately he doesn't have the looks so don't think he will make it...same with Taylor...love his enthusiasm but don't think that he will make it...doesn't have the "idol look". But guess you never know. DEE

OUCH! Kelly stunk tonite..and eek her hair..looked awful..Thought they unfairly judged Kathryn I liked it..I mean yea she's not whitney but she's also 20 yrs younger.Paris was great..CHRIS is STILL my #1 fav.he was so sexy sounding..so good..Taylor I don't like but tonite I liked him..

I am not really a big Chris fan but tonight I thought he did a great job! I agree...I think they were wrong about Kat...I thought she did a wonderful job! So she sang a Whitney song? All the songs were sung by someone....whats so great about Whitney??? I think the top three last night were...Kat, Chris, and Elliott (I just really like his voice). Usually I like Taylor but didn't care for him last night at all. Paris was good but not great. And Kelly is good with County but she doesn't do the other songs well at all. Perhaps the next Shania or Gretchen but I don't think the next american Idol. I really think she should have went last week when she butchered her song. DEE
