Elton John American Idol... (new less confusing thread)

I have always been "Mr. Combine-Your-Similar-Threads" but I'd really like to pull out discussion about 4/6's American Idol, because I think it deserves it's own topic.

I felt worse for Elton John than anyone else, because he had to say somewhat nice things about people who had just butchered his music.

Best to Worst:

1. Jennifer Hudson (She closed the show with panache)

2. George Huff (with the exception of the squatting, he was fab)

3. Jasmine Trias (she hit a couple of clunkers, but overall, good style)

4. Fantasia Barrion (I don't think the world needs a second Macy Gray, the hype is a little much. But she was OK)

5. La Toya London (I can't remember her, so she couldn't have been that bad, or that good)

6. Diana DeGarmo (She's got spunk, and maybe hasn't found her place yet, but this perf. was mediocre)

7. Camile Velasco (She tried.)

8. Jon Peter Lewis (What is up with that arm-wave dance he did? Charisma was key last night, especially if you couldn't pull of the song. Come on JPL, do the underwear ad, and then go to grad school)

9. John Stevens (When is Sinatra Night happening? Everyone has a style, but until Mike Buble' is on AI, I don't think that this is the right venue. Brothers from my childhood town, so I thought I'd support him, but this too must come to an end.)

I totally agree. For 16, Diana can sing! Jennifer blew the house DOWN!! She sang Circle of Life amazingly!

Zola, yes, you ARE the only one who is bothered by the bouncing. I find it adorable!!! And what makes you think George is gay? Not that it matters when it comes t ohis singing ability, I just thought that was an odd comment for you to make.

If John doesn't go tonight, I think i'll have to smash my tv.

Princess--gaydar goes off with George

reposting my list:

1. Jennifer Hudson - fierce tonight!
2. Fantasia
3. George Huff
4. Latoya
5. Diana
6. Jasmine
7. JPL - he needs to go
8. Jon - he SUCKS
9. Camille -- she SUCKS

Fantasia sounds a titch like Macy Gray--after that the comparison ends.

I think George's bouncing is good when it's right for the song--it's really cute and looks good on camera.

---

I'm going to work on my bounce tolerance, Princess, because I really like Huff the magic dragon. But, let me tell you he is gayer than Gay Gayerson. Not as gay as Gay Clay though.

Am I getting my signals crossed or is he gay, boys?

Jon Peter Lewis this boy.....I can't I can't even begin to describe my awe in him getting voted thru at all. please stop the madness on him.

John Stevens now this boy was bad last night but I felt so bad for him cause I am PMSing and his face made me want to cry since I knew the week before he knew she should have been in the bottom 3 and he was not. So he knows it was bad but I had to feel a little sad for him.

But Mr. Lewis...if he is NOT in the bottom 3 then there is no hope for this competition.

Oh George is gay alright and I think he is going to win as well. The online polls put him only second to Latoya. As IDOL is as much a popularity contest as it is a singing competition, his warmth and personality might trump Latoya's voice.

While Jon Stevens, Jon Peter and Camille were predictably awful, I think Diana was truly terrible last night. I don't care for her performing style or voice, but she should have been able to pull off I'm Still Standing. You could only hear and understand her during the chorus. The rest of the song she sounded out of breath and was unintelligible. I think the bottom three will chosen from these four, with two of them more likely to be Diana and Camille than both guys and Camille.

American Idol is in trouble this season. And yes; I know the ratings are through the roof. But they are all horrible this year. At this point last season they even had 2 cd's out. It is not happening this year. And Jennifer Hudson was great last night.. but honestly.....taking into account her previous performances.. would you buy her record??? And that Fantasia girl is starting to wear thin. The men should all be eliminated. They are all terrible.

It's like the Force!

don't say "gay"!!! you might offend somebody!!!

oh... whew!!! thanks for clearing that up! LOL!

So Camile got voted off last night? Was she the one who seemed so nervous every time? John Stevens is interesting, from the very first audition I said "hes going to make the final five" maybe not because he is the best performer- but America realllly likes him. He's the underdog, hes unique and he's a cutie pie. I doubt he will win but I think he will go far:)

um, what show are you watching hun? there are about SEVEN amazing singers left, and the Soun cd is coming out next Tuesday. Jennifer has never given a weak performance, and i'd buy her cd tomorrow in a heartbeat. Fantasia has a classic Diva star attitude, I love it!! shes really got It and i'll ne buying her cd too. And, don't get rid of ALL the guys, because George is still great!! (but i still say he;s stright! =P

Once John Stevens is gone, the competition can get serious.
