I don't even know how I'll vote tonight! Hate to think about Anthony or Scott going just cuz they were kinda weak tonight. Hate to say it, but I hope Anwar goes. He just doesn't have the range I think he needs.

Have only read through the first two pages here, but I wanted to comment on what I think is wrong with Anwar. I really like his voice and I think he has great control over it (which is a good thing if he teaches choir!), but his songs just don't catch the *emotion*! I love that song and, heck, when *I* sing it, I am belting it out! It's a very empowering song, and he pretty much sleepwalked through the first half. He got some emotion into the second half, which is why I think it came across better then. *Darn* but I want him to do that *all* the time!!! I keep rooting for him but I gotta be honest and agree that he keeps falling short :-(((

I will also say that this is the first night I really sprinkled my votes in a lot of different directions. I threw some at Anwar, too, because I keep hoping he'll finally get it right The Next Time :-)

As for Bo-a huge EH. I was really disappointed! I liked Constantine a lot this time, so that makes two weeks in a row that I've like Constantine better. Not a good thing. No votes to either of them.

I'm hoping Nikko goes because I just don't like the music he sings (so I can't say either way if he's good) and I'm *really* tired of watching him grab at his crotch cuz he did it again tonight. That alone should get him booted. *Ya don't grab at your privates when performing!* I have never seen his dad in the audience. I wonder if that's on purpose so as not to overshadow the son.

Well, *I* really liked Anthony and Scott (and threw votes their ways :-). It seems like tonight's show left very different impressions on different people! Wierd that I read very little consistency in the postings about each performer. So I guess I will give Simon the benefit of the doubt because it just seems like-*IMHO* that Simon has it in for the two of them because he has Never said anything nice about Scott or Anthony. Ticks me off!

Vonzell-really surprised me! I was thinking how forgetable she was, and then she really belted that one out. She still is too "affected" in her singing, though-tries too hard. Last week, I think, and this week, parts just were too breathy. I think she has potential, though, but I still think in comparison to the *vocals* from last year, not in the same league.

anwar just seems to have the same 'method' thing i have felt since his first song weeks back. he starts kinda slow, speeds it up, hits one good note at the end. each week is exactly the same for me.
now, i think he is very good looking, so i hope his singing gets better, as i enjoy looking at him.

I was online, listening to Idol instead of watching it until Anwar starting singing. OMG it was horrible. Wrong notes all over the place.

Then Paula gave her review and I didn't think I heard her correctly. OMG what was wrong with her? So I came here to see if it was just my imagination - nope!

But reading the comments about Paula being high/intoxicated and needing rehab - are you all serious? I haven't heard anything in the news about her having a substance abuse problem.


Thanks,
dee

I think Nikko had his hands on his pants at the beginning of his performance but he didn't grab his crotch. Not that I'd have minded if he did....and he is still very well-dressed. Too bad he doesn't give style lessons to some of the other contestants, like Anthony, who was wearing white Hush Puppies [in March, no less!] or Anwar, whose clothing choices and vocals have deteriorated significantly in the pst couple weeks.

Beaux? Worst. Hat. Ever.

Jessica looked eerily like Kelly Clarkson when she was singing. She's utterly forgettable to me though, except that she's now irritated all the people who are boycotting the Dixie Chicks. Constantine gave, IMO, his worst, most disingenuous performance yet. He's singing "I Can't Make You Love Me" and he's *smiling* during it? To top it off, right before he sang "Don't patronize," he smiled and mugged for the camera. What silliness.

Carrie is still wearing too much make-up. She has a big voice. I'm sure it will win her lots of fans at state fairs.

I don't know why Scott was wearing a mu-mu. It looked like a dress Sarah Vaughan might have worn in the later years of her career.

All in all, I was completely underwhelmed tonight. Paula's behavior is the only thing that saved it for me. To think they couldn't find better songs than this to sing. I guess Vonzell's performance was good, at least, but dang. I think both Scott and Anwar's voices have been overused recently. They used to be much more sure and steady. I think they are singing harder and more often than they ever had before and their voices are just getting beaten up by it. It happens every year. Remember how raspy Ruben's voice sounded by the end of Season Two? Lots of its suppleness and pliability had gone.

I thought that people were being a little over the top about Paula with their comments about her behaviour in previous shows, but she was really out of it tonight. I think that at this point Simon is afraid to say anything to her for fear of what she’ll say in return.

Most of the singing was very forgettable.

Not a lot of "wow" in the singing performances tonight... just Paula's performance = WOW.

Fox's Idol board is deleting every thread that addresses Paula's condition tonight... POOF!

POOF! Someone over there at FOX sould be making it a priority to get Paula to seek help. Whatever it is that she is doing (booze, weed, pain killers...whatever) is coming across loud and clear to everyone in that theatre as well as in the million homes who have the TV on. It's sad to see her this way.

Let's look on the bright side: this might be the first time anyone compared Paula to Judy Garland!

"Shall we take a poll as to her drugs of choice for the evening? Some kind of downer - she doesn't look baked, may more 'luudish. But then again I don't know about the more modern drugs like oxycontin, which might explain her hearing loss, Maris, or vicodin. It's definitely not any kind of amp"

OMG, Maris and GAL, you two have had me sitting here in work and laughing hysterically. Knowing both of you, I can picture those comments coming out of both your mouths.
Funny funny funny

I just went back and only watched only the judges comments. wow.

The levity and banter between the judges was missing. It was clear that Randy and Simon were uptight about Paula's condition. They both avoided speaking directly to her. Randy helped her with Scott. He said "you were vibing", which appeared to be an effort for her to cut her "swaying" short and sum it up.

I don't know about drugs so I cannot possibly guess what she is on but I doubt it is alcohol. She was playing in 33 but the show is on 78. She was v-e-r-y slow. Her twinkle and pep club persona MIA.

I expect to see her "up" next week, more like she was the night she could not keep her hands off Simon. We are watching a woman desperately seek 'perky mellow' and miss dramatically.

I just got through watching the show and I can't quit gagging every time I think of Constantine's horrific performance. He took a gut wrenching sad song and sang it like it was some sweet love song.(not to mention that he sang it off-key) On one of the saddest lines in the song - "I'll lay down my heart and I'll feel the power, but you won't." He wrinkled his nose and attempted to make sexy eyes at the camera! I've never seen such a cheesy display of mugging for the camera. It was just gross. It's sickening because I know that there is not even a shred of hope that he is going this week. ~sigh~

I thought that Jessica did well even if it was a crappy song choice.

I was not at all impressed with Carrie, as usual. I don't think she even begins to have the 'it' factor.

I didn't like Nikko's performance. I thought Nadia was awful tonight. I thought it was Anwar's worst performance of all time. Felt sorry for Anthony, but I did agree with Simon, it was awful. I was not into Bo and his ugly hat dance.


Scott was shaky at first, but he came back quickly and I really love his voice.

The best of the night by far was Vonzell. She was awesome. I loved her performance.
