Anyone watching Season 10 of American Idol?

Thanks, Vicki, good to know, nothing else made much sense from an advertising and viewing standpoint!

I agree, ladies...bored last night!  Not very impressive. 

While I think Steven is sweet and really like Jennifer, the constant ass-kissing and praising of blah performances is getting old.  Yes, Jennifer threw in a few negatives, but I miss the Simon comments.  Some where downright mean, but not necessarily wrong!  I usually agreed with him, too!

Hey Seaside, I think you are right in your choice of bottom 3.  I still don't get what Steven saw in Naima.   Didn't like Casey's choice of song, of course I don't like that kind of music at all.  I too miss Simon, sure sometimes he was really blunt but he was also usually right. He would have given scathing reviews last night.  I think if she can push up her delivery and her self confidence a couple of notches, Lauren can be as good as Carrie Underwood.  Love James, but agree with Steven's critique of not getting too pop, that one scream was a little off.  Karen

I'm going to DVR tonight's episode .. AND zap thru Ryan's staircase appearance and commercials.  I hope and wish, tonight .. there is some type of redemption with the show.   Boring ...  Boring

karen...IMO yes it was a 2 to 1 split

i think AI is getting little weird.

Now I miss Simon. Need some action.

Boy, I agree with you ladies, it was awfully boring! I think Simon would have made it more entertaining - someone NEEDS to goad these contestants on! Jennifer did step it up a little and try to give them some constructive criticism, but I think Simon has the right idea - maybe you need to be mean because at least that will sink in. If I was standing up there, I would be nodding my head and not thinking at all about what they're saying - I would be thinking about what I looked like! HAHA! I guess I'm shallow!

Poor Hayley with that red lipstick on her face - that would be me.

I think James could have done better, and I think Lauren could have done better - even though she was sick, for one song she could have done better. When I heard she was going to sing Melissa Etheridge, I thought, Perfect! But she didn't put anything into it - at least according to my years of music school - NOTl! But there was no oomph! And she has oomph, and I think that IS a technical term...

Vicki Sam - the Sunset Strip comment was hilarious! She looked like she stepped right out of the 60's - if it was 60's week, she would have been right on target. My hair was so thick if I tried to put it on my head, it looked like that! So I couldn't wear it that way - I felt like I had a bowling ball on my head!

I agree - throw this "theme" out! There is hardly any good music from this era!

I told my son I was getting dizzy watching Paul - I wish the judges would quit complimenting his "moves". He looks like someone who is having a very long heart attack! Ryan actually had me laughing when he came out and mimicked him after last week's performance. That's about what it looks like. I'm sorry, Paul - you're cute, though, and you have a good voice. Just please stand still!

We recorded it and are getting ready to watch it now. Wasn't it funny how last night after Ryan said Lee DeWyze would perform, sounds like some of his friends went woo, but after he announced the Black-Eyed Peas there was dead silence? I guess the memory of their Super Bowl performance is still too fresh. I can imagine Fergie calling up Will I Am and saying, what's up with that? Where's the woot? 

I couldn't even watch for an hour.   Boring!

heartnsoul76-  I agree, I thought XXXX should have left.  She sang okay, but she was kind of boring.  Is it just me or did Fergie's face look wierd?  I don't know if she had work or what.  She obviously has a great body, but her face just seemed weird looking tonight for some reason.  I agree with your Lauren comment too.  I think she is really good, but she hasn't done so hot the last two weeks.  She needs more energy or something.

I miss Simon too.  I personally think the show is better than I expected it to be with the new judges.  I think they have alot of good singers this year too.  The only two I don't like are Paul and that country kid.  I think the country kid sings good, but something about him irritates me....he's kind of cocky.  As far as Paul, I don't dislike him personally, but am I missing something?????  They seem to love him and I think his voice is horrible  and whiney.  I think the best ones are James, Casey (if he'd stop with the goofy faces) and the gospel guy (not sure of his name)  he seems to be really into it.  Pia is really good too, but she needs to try something more exciting too. 

Sorry for rambling on.  I think all this sitting in the house for the past 10 months is making me chatty or something.

Yeah, Adam was one of a kind.  I guess with all the great voices I was expecting more from the contestants this year but it doesn't seem like they're doing anything (or getting any coaching?) to make them better on stage.  It's not just about great singing.

Not sad to see Naima go, although I did think it was cool that the judges got up on stage with her after the announcement and were clearly giving her some support and encouragement and sympathy.  I miss Simon and his caustic comments, but I do also like the sweetness of Steven and Jennifer.   Too bad they can't bring Simon back for even one week, that would shake things up!

Yes,  it was Fergie last night singing with the 'Black Eyes Pea's' ..  she looked weird, somewhat plastic .. if there is such a look.  She also looked 'puffy' .. like she may of packed on 10 lbs. or bleached her skin, pastie white  .. lighter colored hair, parted on the side ... new color plate, mixed in with the lighter hair color, and white dress ..  she didn't look comfortable.. Hef moves were very jerky, and unsure.

ADIOS .. Karen!!! .. I really really HATE it when a 'contestant' states .. oh, please please keep me .. I will do better next week ..  OH my lord, do these contestant's think it's Hollywood week .. do they not realize that someone will be going home for good .. week, after week, after week.  Okay, maybe they think they are such great singers -- and the judges will save them..  I don't get it ... !    Okay ... again, I must say..  I miss Simon.

I used to love American Idol ..  not so much, now.   It may take a few weeks, viewership may drop off..in my humble opinion.

Naima .. should be AI's next victim....

Vicki Sam

Seyla, from those pix, it looks like she's gained a noticable amount of weight.  But it's hard to say for sure and I don't know her well at all so I'm not sure what she really looked like before.

Vicki, I agree -- I hate it when they beg, but I'm not sure why, except it seems a bit immature and whiny.  If they know it's so important, why didn't they do better THIS week?

I disliked Naima's "victory dance" as she went to join the others on the couch.  I understand she was happy to still be there, but it seemed like such a disrespectful thing to do, given that one of the two remaining was about to be booted.

I may lose interest soon, as I have in years past, and then pick it up near the end.  We'll see, but AI may not be around much longer if it doesn't get better.

But then, when have I been right about anything to do with AI? 

I agree that none of them bring any creative originality to the performances this year. They only seem to copy the original singer. At least Simin challenged them to become real artists not copycat versions of someone else. Boring!

I'm ready to start blaming the judges.

The way they talk to the contestants is not right all the time.

Somebody has to come out and really judge. Its becoming like a kindergarten class. They are all getting star stickers no matter what.

As much as i love Jennifer. She is getting too emotional at the end. i know she really liked Karen but coom'n getting on the stage at the end and giving hugs in tears.

I MISSED SIMON.

One more thing if Randy says the word Pitchy i feel like slapping him LOL

OK I said it.

For me......

Jacob is boring always a smile on his face

Paul is moving around like he's dizzy

Casey doesn't do anything for me.

Thia and Naima are next.

Hailey is very uncomfortable and not real.

Scotty is cute but becoming an AI  ?

Stefano is getting better.

Pia..I really liked her before but not now

James...I like him.

One more thing this is the first year i don't see that bond between the contestants.

They look little selfish.

Good Night.

Lauren is a goofy funny 16 year old with a big voice.

I don't like the producer guy, I think he is the one messing up their songs.  Other than that, I do like it better than I thought I would.  I hardly watched it at all last year.

Sherrill ..  Paul's herkey-jerkey performance's makes me dizzy - LOL  His spastic movements are no longer endearing,.
