Anyone watching Season 10 of American Idol?

There are so many good ones! No telling how America will vote. Remember the gray haired guy that won?

I LOVE Scotty!!  I hope he goes far in this competition but I guess that will all depend on the genre they choose for each week from here on out.  The last guy - oh boy.....in a way he is so sexy!

Hi ladies... coming in late here.  .. I've been watching all season and was excited for last night.  Maybe a little *too* excited since I felt a little let down ...I thought most were pretty mediocre and had very little stage presence (makes me miss Adam Lambert! ..... BUT ... I only watched the first hour... had to go to bed and taped the show.  Sounds like most of my favs performed in the last part of the show!  Can't wait to watch it when I get home from work!   I was rooting for the red, curly haired guy but his permformance was quite off last night I thought.

heartandsoul......I read your post and Im still LOL about  << I could just kiss you for showing me that video>>. I really get it.

Im glad You were happy. I also get tears when I see David Cook he is so real so sincere.

I cant wait until tonight

Hugs

Hi Ladies

I am hoping the 'girls' blow the roof off, tonight.!!!  Need to finish a few things, dinner, wash etc.. then I can watched my Tivo'd American Idol.  I hate hate all the commercials.   Speaking of commercials has anyone else notice .. J LO turning up on several advertisements . Venus shaver, and I forget the other .. then J Lo will debate a new single on the American Idol stage ?  did I hear that correctly?  I very rarely watch live TV ..

Awwww I love Steven Tyler too.  His facial expressions absolutely crack me up.  I am sooooo mad though.  Why in the heck are they voting 10 people off tomorrow?  I am seriously ticked off about that.  The obviously forgot to get my permission before making that decision.

The guy who did the Rod Stewart song last night is totally yummy.  He has great hair and teeth.  Honestly, I could have lived without seeing him with pink roses on his suit though.

Catch you all tomorrow right after the show!

Susan

Really, 10 being voted off tomorrow?

LAUREN AND PAI here too girls...... LOVE SEASON 10 ~

I get it .. voting off 14 ... so the judges have 'their' reserve picks to add back into the line up.  Pia blew my mind .. and the 15 year old .. pure vocals  -- so poised, and matured.  At 15 years of age, I was still smoking cig's in the school parking lot, hanging with bad boys --  forging my mom's signature so I could miss several classes .. and go out to Hollywood with friends.   Sorry ..  TMI about my mis-guided, wild spent, youth.

Vicki Sam, your youth made me smile, misguided or not.  I saved my misguided behavior for my 20's -- REALLY no excuse by the time you reach that age!

I thought many of the girls' performances were good, they're a very poised group and obviously have the vocal chops, but I really wasn't blown away by any of them the way I was by some of the guys. A few of them jumped to the top for me but only a few.  That may have just been my mood for the evening but I had a hard time picking my top 6. 

 I noticed there's a different trend this year, and it may be a reflection of the different judges and how they chose, but I hear very little attempted emulation of current "stars" and a bit more throw-backs to older styles of music, with their own twists, which I kind of like.  It was just a bit weird to see how many of them were singing earthy, bluesy songs last night, something I haven't seen a lot of lately.

My understanding (could be wrong) is that the public votes will go to pick the top 5 boys and top 5 girls, and the judges will add one of each, for the 12 for the final group.  Yes, there's going to be a lot of sadness tonight for all those dashed dreams!  It'll be hard for them to get so far and be eliminated, but that's the nature of competition, I guess.

A note about the guys:  I really like Scotty and think he has an incredible voice, but I feel like he's a one-note guy... it'll be interesting to see if he can do anything but country well.  Don't get me wrong, I think he's fantastic for country, and I'm guessing he'll have a great career in that, but for this show I'd like to see more versatility.

OK, spending way too much time thinking about AI!!  It's been a fun diversion this year, though.

Vicki - LMAO - You just described me at that same age!

Love Thia and Pia and hope those two remain.  Still have a thing for Scotty and his low country voice! 

Why are we going to just a top 12 this year starting off?  I don't remember starting any other season with only 12.  For some reason I thought they would pick 10 girls and 10 guys and drop off 4 but then I heard the judges talk about the top 5.  I was so confused!

What did AI do last year as far as the number of girls and boys?  Do you think they can't get the airtime to continue with Girls one night, boys one night and then a voted off show the last night?

The guys AND the girls were amazing.  It will be interesting to see what happens tonight because there is SO much talent this year.  DH and I both agree that the new judges make a huge, positive difference in the show.  They are encouraging and kind -- and not so bad to look at either!  Don't have a clue who will make it tonight, but my guess is that Jacob, Casey, Stephano, Lauren, Pia and Thia will all be part of the top 10.  Hope I don't have to eat my words!

Boys definitely outshone the girls. Most of the girls to me were forgettable. I liked the one who sang part of her song in Spanish. And I liked the one who went last - Pia, I think.

But for the boys, I can't imagine getting down to 5 or 6. There were so many good ones.

Tonight will be interesting.

Yes, I hope they have a night when Steven T sings - I never thought of it, but it is a great idea.

I've been enjoying these judges a lot more than previous seasons, which is a surprise to me. I think Jennifer really adds a unique perspective.   When Ryan said "three months," we did sort of groan. It is kind of an ordeal having all this TV to stay caught up on!

Looks like tonight is the debut of J Lo's new song on AI.  Maybe they will have Steven perform at some point!! That would be great!!

For those of you recording... I think tonight is 2 hours (8-10 on the east coast).... Extra 1/2 hour tonight!

Vicki & Susan - I DVR the show, too. I have never seen so many commercials on a show like AI has! I can cut my viewing time from 2 hours to about 1 hour 20 minutes. We just rent our DVR from the cable company at a whopping $18.95/mo but it is sooooo worth it to me. It has spoiled me!
