Is anybody watching American Idol this year?

[KoKoPuf]

I thought last night's show was good. Scotty picked a terrible song and seems to be "playing not to lose" instead of "playing to win". Still probably the leader though. I think James and Casey were the best last night closely followed by Haley. My projected bottom 3 - Stefano, Jacob, & Haley.

I agree with your assessment.  Scotty seems to be getting a little over confident.

To add:  I thought some of the language used by one of the judges was over the top for a family show.  It was bleeped out for TV viewers, but not the audience.

I'm not liking this show so much anymore.  Don't know all the reasons...but I think most of the singers sounded much better when they had shaggy hair and street clothes and surprised me.

Now they are all dressed up as STARS but really don't present themselves or sound so much like stars (yet).

I thought David Cook sounded just average last night.  I see that what the great entertainers are saying is true.  These American Idol winners have not worked themselves up from the club levels of initiation and training they need.  But they do it in reverse.  Most of the the winners (exception Carrie Underwood, etc.) seem to go back to ground level and work in clubs afterwards.  They have a little name recognition from American Idol to keep going. I read where Taylor Hicks is starting a restaurant in the Birmingham area with a stage for himself.

My fav, james, was sent home tonight.  I feel like I felt when they sent Siobhan home last year.  He fought his way thru so many obstacles as a child.  He was diagnosed with tourettes syndrome and high-functioning autism. He has been the most daring and entertaining contestant on AI and now he's sent home.  Life isn't fair

Last night's show was very sad. I was hoping Haley would go. James will have a career - no doubt about it. Made me cry last night when he was crying
I want Scotty to win.

America doesn't rock!  I was sad to see James go.  Thought for sure he'd be in the top two

[KoKoPuf]

I hated to see James go, thought he was the best "performer" of this year's Idol contestants. I do like Scotty, I think he is better than most of the current crop of male Country singers and he will have a big career in country music. Not wild about Lauren, I just have never seen the appeal. She is good, and young, and will also probably have a good career in country music. I do like Haley. I think she has a better voice than Lauren and she is really good looking! And she has had to take much more criticism than the others. Inconsistent? Yeah, but she has had the best performance in each of the last two weeks.

Haley won the night last night.  Loved the wind machine!  Hope she makes it into the top two, but who knows?  I've sure quite expecting anything that I expected on AI!  Scotty is a shoo-in.  It didn't matter how he sang last night.  At least next week all my old favs will be back for the finale - James, Casey, and Pia!  I can't wait to see James- I missed him this week 

[KoKoPuf]

I'm pulling for a Haley vs Scotty final! I've never understood the love the judges have for Lauren, I don't think she has the voice or stage presence of Haley. Haley's "Rhiannon" with the wind machine was great just for the visuals alone.

[Crimson Phoenix]

I've stopped trying to guess the voting results..  
But one more guess: I think the winner will be Scotty with Haley not far behind...

I'm not appreciating these new Idol judges very much...especially Stephen Tyler who says mostly nothing worthwhile.  

Looking forward to the X-Factor in the Fall.    I like it that Simon chose Paula to be with him on the judge's panel.    

[KoKoPuf]

Well, Haley went home leaving us with a "Hee Haw" final.  I like Scotty and thought a final with Scotty & James, or Scotty & Haley, would have been very interesting with the different music styles and all. When Ryan announced there had been 95 million votes, I figured it was bad news for Haley. When AI showed Scotty's trip home with the screaming, crying pre-teens and younger teens like he was Elvis, I knew where those 95M votes came from.

[Kupkake]

What a pitiful finale after a season of great talent.  Time to change the voting or just change to another show.  I don't care who wins now.  I just want to see the results show on Wednesday so I can see the really interesting talent.

[Crimson Phoenix]

Some well known web sites say that Scotty got twice the number of votes as Lauren.

We'll see tonight.     It looks like the finale has come down to two young, clean-cut, seemingly normal kids who happen to be country singers from small towns.  I'm proud of American Idol voters.  Their values could be worse.

[KoKoPuf]

I saw the reports that Scotty won big. Probably right, he has been ahead all season. I like him lots more than Lauren and I think he will have a great career in country music.

[Crimson Phoenix]

This is Scotty's first record for the public.  Some of us heard it during the last show.  I think he has a big future ahead too.  It's hard to believe this voice belongs to a 17 year old.
