If they throw Bo off for something he wasn't even convicted of, but keep Scott, who was convicted, I will be very angry. I like Bo and I want to see Carrie, Bo, and Nadia in the top three. Also, keep this in mind when you have thoughts regarding Carrie. She has never been a performer other than in her room. She has wonderful vocals, no one can dispute that. She has the talent, and obviously the drive. I believe with a little more stage exposure and performing, she will gain the "attitude" she needs to go along with that voice and be a performer. Basically she is young and needs to mature as a performer, she has the vocal parts down. She needs a good stylist and a great stage coach (no not a horse drawn carriage) She'll go amazing lengths with that. IMHO, Bo has the stage presence, but needs to work more on the vocal side. He is good, but it needs some work. No one is perfect, and not one performer has the "ALL PACKAGE" of the previous idols, but with some work, the winners could have the "it" factor.

Maris, I would love to see Constantine do that show. But I think he'll be stuck with AI for awhile.

I still can't believe I missed this. We got tired of the freaking commercials when they broke right before assigning Scott and Constantine to their groups. I said eff it, and we wound up watching something about Yellowstone erosion. I am so disappointed in myself, but Big Brother will soon be upon us and I didn't want to drive my reality viewing opportunities into the dirt over Scott and Constantine. PS Maris, you must have woke up feeling like you'd made the NBA finals after years of knocking on the door. Did it really happen or was it a dream?

I agree Escapee, Carrie is a diamond in the rough, she can sing her little hiney parts off, she has great potential.

Am I the only one surprised at Constantine being featured on the CD? Boy, I must be naieve (sp?), but I thought that "signing away his rights" or whatever meant that he wouldn't be part of any of his band's release during or right after AI......because otherwise I think it *does* corrupt the show and make it more likely people will go on it only to take advantage of it....and makes me more likely to be suspicious of Bo's comment that he didn't care if he won (since he could then immediately release a CD with his band, too)...... I'm quite disappointed.

I think Constatine played them and they bought it - maybe AI will find a way to take his butt to court for it. Sorry to say but I'm glad he's gone.

about the entire scenario, from the very beginning with Constantine, when Ryan and tv crew went with Constantine and filmed him telling his band that he was quitting the band to be on AI. It got him extra face time and publicity (for the band) at the start. This is something other candidates did not have. Sure makes you wonder how we have all been manipulated, huh?

<QT> the band probably played up the constantine connection, since he did get well-known via AI. my guess is there would have been a group photo, not just constantine, if he hadn't gone on AI.

OK, so you are a guy in a band going nowhere and decide to try AI. You leave your band and head for Hollywood to give it a shot. As you are on this show your band, to which you no longer belong, starts to make it and goes on with their plans and releases a CD capitolizing on your new found fame. How can this be Constantines fault? He has no control over Pray for the Soul of Betty. Mario had the same thing happen to him. (that is not the reason he voluntarily left, btw)

Constantine is just too nice. If that had been me, I would have said, "Hey, I have nothing to do with these losers any more." I also would not have signed over ANYTHING to them, because then you can't control what they do with it.

I think you are assuming a lot. According to an interview held with the band they claim that Constantine went on AI to publicize the band. I think Constantine is playing all angles and he isnt jeopardizing his contract with AI because he did sign his rights over to the band. He makes out in either case.

American Idol 4 In Defense of Anthony's "Raw" Talent By Gayl Killough & Eleanor Meilinger April 25, 2005 In response to this quote by RTVC Staff writer Eleanor Meilinger: "Anthony continues to look weak in comparison to the others and Anwar doesn't give a solid performance or break out on stage. He may be losing the votes of R & B fans to Scott and Vonzell. I think Anthony will still rely on the teen vote to carry him (please don't assault me with criticism - I know that adults like him too - just not ones who are good judges of talent!)" American Idol fan Gayl Killough writes: "You went too far with your last statement. I am a 34-year-old adult who has studied vocal anatomy, physiology, and technique inside and out. Plus I will not claim to be an expert on much, but one thing I do really well is judge talent, especially raw and potential talent. 34 years worth of life have proven me right over time, the frustrating thing is convincing any one else. I first heard a few seconds of Anthony during the news blitz that occurred when Mario quit, and immediately loved the tone and timbre of his voice, but I do have a life, so I decided that I was not going to watch AI. I tried so hard to stay away from American Idol this year and I made it until the recount week at final 11. I was stuck in the dentist office and forced to hear the announcement of the recount over and over again on the radio. During the announcement they had snippets of the idols singing in the background. This got my curiosity and so I watched. <QT> Cutting down lengthy quote to fit into board rules. LINK

Maris, it does pain me not to be deeply cynical. But having gone to school with so many guys from NYC, I just can't believe that they are not all totally self-centered. So I am really torn here. I believe the band member who thinks it was all about the band, because that kind of fits that NYC "I know everything" jerk persona. However I find it equally hard to believe that someone would go to all the trouble of attending conservatory and touring with Rent, tribulations of AI, etc. just to promote a mediocre band made up of non-relatives that the guy met 2-3 years ago. All this was some kind of altruistic quest for the band? I think C is nice but not THAT nice. So, kind of a tossup to me, but I land on the side that C will dump them eventually but not immediately. If it were me they would have been gone yesterday.
