American Idol

Sahalie, are you in the Bay Area?

Up here in Portland we had a little snow today.  There was even more at the coast.  We were planning a trip over on Saturday to help pick up litter with the SOLV (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism) group, but it sounds like it's going to be too cold.

Well none of you have written in about the show tonight, so I'll wait until morning.  I don't want to give away the results.

Hi Deb,

    Great to see you here today,  how are you feeling?????

Well Ladlies,

    What do you all think?????? I feel the same as you Deb , very surprised with Syehsa being in the bottom 3, I thought her perormance Wed was very good.  I was alittle surprised with Jason, but thought he may be in the bottom with his performance the other night. He really needs to make a change this week.

    Ohhhhhhh and i hated to see Chekezee go this early when there are others less talented... He wouldn't have made it to the last two, and they all have to go at some point, but in my opinion, Kristy and Ramielle are hanging in there too long.... I just don't get it ......

    Kimberly Loche looked really beautiful last night... I haven't heard many of her songs on the radio here, how about you guys???

    Until next weeks show,   take care ladies...and Big Hugs KLynn 

Oh My GOD!!!!!! David Cook was so amazing. I just downloaded Billie Jean AND Eleanor Rigby on Itunes. I wasn't really enthralled with last year's contestants, but this year, I am a BIG David Cook fan. The last time I got this excited was when Elliott Yamin was on the show. Love that kid!!!!

I was kind of surprised to see Chakezie go last night too.

With the judges constantly telling them they are picking the wrong songs I don't know how they have any self esteem left. 

They need a break and be told only about their singing ability for a couple weeks and leave the song choices alone.

I know Brook gets accolades like crazy but I just don't see the big deal in her. 

To me she is generic.    I think Syeshia sings circles around her.

David Cook is amazing.

It seems Jason isn't getting it that this is a heavy duty competition and he needs to step it up. 

This is where I though Chakezie was really trying.

Kristy finally got something positive said to her. 

Carly is a professional and in my opinion doesn't belong in this competition.  Something hinky about that.

Sally,  I'm about 45 minutes north of San Francisco in the wine country.

Doreen, I love Chico.  Many happy memories there swimming in the river in your 1000 degree heat. 

No rain last night just magical beautiful clouds for a short time then clear sky with stars and moon.

It's gorgeous today just a bit on the cool side.

Anne, Have you been to the Roloff family farm up there in Oregon?

I love their show.   

Hi Madison,

    Welcome to Idol chat....We use to talk in the chat room, I haven't been there lately, how have you been??? I also love Brooke, although not this  weeks song as much..She has a beautiful voice and great stage pressence..I think she now has some strong  competion with David Cook, he was fantastic Tues. night. Carly and Syesha aren't giving in too easily either..

    Whoopschangedmyname, I didn't even remember Jessica Sierra at all, I had to google her .  What a mess!!!!! Not sure if its my chemo brain or if she was not very good and forgettable...Hope she gets some help, hate to see them go down that road.. Take care all ..Hugs Klynn

Doreen,

Paradise is beautiful.

Just thinking about it I swear I can smell the pine trees.

I don't remember Jessica Sierra either on Idol.

For what its worth - my 2 cents -

I found Chikeezie's a bit boring. I think Jason does need to step it up - but I LOVED his song - Hallelujah.  Love, Love David Cook - but I think he needs to try something different as well.  I like Brooke as well, she reminds of Carly Simon.  What about the 17yr.old - David I think is his name???   I think he is great also.

Who do you all think are going to be the final 3???

Hi all,

I just listened to Elliott Yamin on youtube.  Very good.  I thought he was one of the best on Am Idol, and I'm happy for him that he's gained so much confidence since then.  When he was a contestant he was self-conscious about his teeth.  Now he looks quite handsome.

My favorite Am Idol moment still is Bo Bice singing In A Dream:

    One of my favorite moments on Idol was when Fantasia sat on stage and sang" Summertime " (I think that was the name of it). It was one of the first times someone sang without the band and she tried something different...I also love the " Heard it throught the grapevine "song when she sang it..She was one of my favorites right from the beginning that year..Another great song which brings tears to my eyes everytime, is when Kelly Clarkston sang  " A Moment Like This" when she won..How cute was she shen she sang that song????

    Hey Val , nice to see you here....How are you feeling??? How's the Hubby doing with chemo????  

    Hugs KLynn 

KLynn and Valerie,

Thanks for the memories...I also loved those two moments.  I cried when Fantasia sang Summertime.  It's a beautiful song from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.

There's always some who get into the top 10, and you think what the h*ll?! Sonjaya Malakar (sp?) comes to mind.

For the final 3, I think it will be David A, David C, and Michael Johns.  I think the girls will be shut out this year.  Carly has an incredible voice, but there's something about her that's not loveable.  Maybe a little too Goth.
