American Idol WTF???

Posted: 2/23/05 at 10:03pm

Anyone understand what went on on AI tonight? I didn't get the first to lowest....What was Janey doing up there if she didn't have the lowest vote?

And then the guys...Why would he turn to Judd after he told him he was safe.

My thoughts: The Producers haven't yet figured out what they are doing this season...

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

I posted this on the "American Idol" thread, but it is completely evil what they did to that kid. Also, the first girl that left said that the reason she was voted off was because she wasn't shown that much during the auditions to build her a fan base like others. Which is exactly true. All the ones that left today weren't shown as much as others during auditions. The producers know exactly what they are doing and they already have their winner. Again, what they did today was EVIL!!!

Sorry, I missed the first 40 minutes of tonight. Who was the first girl voted off?

Wait.
They told someone that they were safe, and, then, they eliminate him?
Um. He should be given another shot just for that.

Yup, Priest. They did. I would have told everyone off if I was that guy. He was all excited he didn't get cut and then BAM!!! Again, pure evil. I really hope people complain to them so they can change what they are doing.

Okay, I'm only 20 minutes into it. This is really sad lol.

It was unnecessary... and just plain rude. Why did they have to do that? They don't need some kind of a twist when they are eliminating people, they are really toying with the contestants emotions.

If I remember right, he DID NOT say to that row that they were all safe. He said something like, I made you all do the work last time so this time you guys can sit down and relax. I think he purposely did not say they were safe or that they'd be back next week. Anyone else remember how Ryan said that? Anyone tape it?

re: American Idol WTF???

Posted: 2/23/05 at 10:25pm

He may not have said the word "Safe" but by that statement everyone assumed that the bottom row was safe since he said, "You can all relax."

nope, but I don't think they should play on words... I think it's dumb and it only brings up the contestants hopes for nothing. He implied they were safe, but he ended up just having two people eliminated.

I agree Spider. It was all for "shock and awe" if you ask me. RATINGS RATINGS RATINGS.

(as if they need it)

Like I said on the other thread, they probably already have their winner picked out. They surely did for the last two seasons. And yes, it is all for the RATINGS but I am ready for something to happen and it completely backfires on them. Everyone except for the last guy were NOT the worst ones. They just didn't have any publicity before hand which is again, wrong.

Well, I learned in the first season, that it's not always and seldom is about who is the best. It's about who America votes for and most of the time, it seems that America votes for popularity, not talent.

You don't think Kelly was the best of her season?

re: American Idol WTF???

Posted: 2/23/05 at 10:33pm

I don't think it is really who AMERICA wants to win. It's who the PRODUCERS want to win. That is why there is at least one scandal a season with phone lines, more camera time for some more than others, etc.

Elvis, I certainly agree that Kelly was the best.

I guess what I meant was, along the way with the voting, it's not always who was the best, like the week Tamyra (sp?) was voted off. I was shocked.
and don't even get me started on Rueben!

#21

re: American Idol WTF???

Posted: 2/23/05 at 10:48pm

Yeah I agree with that. I think it should have been Kelly and Tamyra at the end. I'm still mad that Latoya and Jennifer got eliminated so early.

#22

re: American Idol WTF???

Posted: 2/23/05 at 10:50pm

Here is my vote on who should have been the top 2 all three years.


1st season: Kelly and Tamayra (WINNER: Kelly)
2nd season: Clay and Kimberly Locke (WINNER: either one)
3rd season: Jennifer Hudson and Latoya (WINNER: Jennifer)

Yeah, I'll never know how that nappy headed white boy what's his name got to the final two!

Spider, I wish lol. That would have been amazing. Can you imagine how good a Latoya/Jennifer final would have been?

Haha. His name is Justin Guarini.
