I saw a picture of Bob Marley in a recent news article, and before I had a chance to read the caption or article, I thought it was an article about Anwar. Ever since, I keep expecting some reggae to come out when Anwar starts to sing, and am sadly disappointed! lol

Missed the first one, so can't comment on that, but I don't thing Funny Little Valentine was anywhere near the three standout performances I mentioned before. but then, that's why there are so many different kinds of music and musicians out there -- personal taste is as individual as it gets.

Bluejaxrock - I think some of us really wanted Anwar to sing at least one reggae song by Bob Marley. It would be great to see if Anwar could get some energy going in the audience if he sang a Marley tune. (I bet he could) Hard to believe Marley died in Miami way back in 1981. I still listen to him once in a while, his music is withstanding the test of time. IMO

Forgot to mention how much I liked the "Everyone Got Their Something" Ford commercial during the elimination show. They should do THAT single for the American Red Cross, it was much better than any of the other group numbers. Except I think it should be "Ever'one Got They Sumpthin".

After exit, Nikko has more than 'Idol' plans for future By Kevin C. Johnson Post-Dispatch Pop Music Critic 04/07/2005 St. Louisan Nikko Smith's head is likely still spinning after his dizzying roller-coaster season on "American Idol." First he was in, then out, then in again. Now he's out for good. The 22-year-old Smith advanced to the competition's top 24 (along with fellow St. Louisan Aloha Mischeaux, who was eliminated before him), but he failed to make the cut to the final 12. After returning home to St. Louis, however, he got an early-morning call informing him that Mario Vazquez had quit the competition and he was being reinstated. Smith, dubbed the Comeback Kid, lasted several weeks and made the top 10. But the final blow came Wednesday, when it was revealed he received the lowest total of the 32.8 million viewer votes. "I was just taking it one day at a time, bit by bit," the good-natured Smith said of his "Idol" ups and downs. "I'm a laid-back cat. I don't stress it a lot. I just chill out and have fun. This was a great opportunity, and it was fun doing what I love to do. But Nikko Smith was clearly disappointed by the news. "I was definitely sad that I'm not going to be able to be around anymore, because everybody is super-cool." Smith's father, baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, said, "I'm glad it's over. It was a roller-coaster ride for the family and for everyone involved, wondering what was going to happen week to week. It was emotionally draining." Smith won't entirely disappear from the "Idol" radar: He's part of the "American Idol" tour this summer and appears on the charity single the show is releasing April 19. Smith's elimination was a surprise because many assumed Ohio's Scott Savol would be bounced after news about his domestic-violence rap sheet broke last week. But Smith realized that was no guarantee. "Everything has been so crazy the whole season," he said. "You just go up there prepared for anything." Smith says he will be back and takes solace in the words of former winner Fantasia, who said on Tuesday's show that the finalists were all likely to secure recording contracts. His father would love to see him on Broadway. "I'd like to see this thing grow arms, give him a chance to do other things." Due back in St. Louis by Monday, Smith says one of the first things he'll do is grab some food at Chick-fil-A. The second item on his list is heading to the recording studio. He promises to deliver an R&B CD that will be "super-different, on a whole other level." "I can't drop the ball now," said Smith, who thanks his hometown for all the love and support. "That was incredible. I felt it, and it helped me out a lot."

Well, its nice to see the child of someone famous making a name for himself with a different talent & on his own merit, instead of forever living in his dad's shadow. I'm impressed at how humble & well adjusted he seems. Anyone catch him on Leno the other night? I was miffed at the way Jay used him for a laugh. He had Nikko spin a prize wheel that landed on what appeared to be a trip to sunny Acapulco, and then the announcer said it was to the Acapulco restaurant across the street. Then Jay laughed & said, "Ha! screwed again Nikko." Which may not sound bad but it was only a two minute segment & Nikko looked a deflated & a bit embarrassed .. tho he took it well.

Nope, didn't miss that one and did enjoy it, and while I agree it was one of the best performances so far, I still don't think it comes close to the highlights of past seasons.

So he's recycling the dumb joke?? Well thats comforting to hear, lol. I just happened to catch it and thought Nikko looked blindsided and a bit dissed. I have a liberal sense of humor but it rubbed me the wrong way seeing Nikko's reaction

Willsfan, the article was about a newspaper that sent an email to the Bob Marley Foundation requesting an interview with the Man...totally clueless he'd been gone for 20+ years! I kinda picture Anwar doin' the reggae bob to "Get Up, Get Up"..lol

It is good that Ryan jokes with the loser. Only one can win and all have gotten a great opportunity. To send them on their way with some levity puts this into perspective.
