Garbage in, Garbage out.

Every week now, Anwar and Carrie have proven that listening to a crappy arrangement of a song, even when sung by pretty people with pretty voices, can be more chore than pleasure.

I believe that group number was an unpolished performance of a crappy arrangement of a crappy song. Oh well, at least it wasn't longer.

I actually thought Jessica did very well on Tues; for the first time I was impressed. I agree with Paula she has a cool sound. It also seems more polished than most. I dont think it was a 'good song choice' though and she could use an image makeover

(following to be said in a brit accent)

What that reminded me of was a group of people at karaoke bar after a night of heavy drinking. That was just horrendous. I'll tell you what you should all do, go back, watch a performance of Ruben, Clay, Kimberly Locke, John Stephens and see how it should be done. Then you have to answer the question, do you really want to be here because with that performance you should pack your bags and go back to waiting tables. That was bloody Awful.

Ok I haven't seen much on this....but I thought Anthony sang horribly both on Tuesday night solo and last night during the group performance.

I did agree with the bottom 3 but wouldn't have minded if it was a bottom 4. He's not hard on the eyes but he's very pitchy. IMO.

I didn't even watch the group number. I fast forwarded through it! And that was before coming here and reading the comments! Looks like I didn't miss a thing!

Gosh, that group number was horrible! The audience didn't make it any better with their annoying arm swaying.

Wasn't really sad to see Lindsey go, though I would have prefered Mikalah.

Oh, and I liked Bo's Marcia Brady hair!

What was up with Paula's excessive laughing last night when Simon said America listened to him? That was very odd behaviour.

She was laughing at Ryans comment about Simons declaration. I have forgotten now just what it was.

I think the bad singing is the studio. Before they sounded so good, but the acoustics in there are horrible. ITS A SINGING SHOW....get a better place to do it. IT is sabotaging their performances.

Most of Paula's behavior is odd, IMHO. She was laughing in disbelief at Simon's comment about "America listening to me". She just carried it way too far.

Lori - I totally agree with you about most of Paula's behavior. She & Ryan were on Larry King at the start of this season and she could not string a complete sentence together.

I like Paula. I like her immensely. The judges work together with the familar balance of tension, respect, animosity and clear affection that seasons all relationships. It is a pleasure watching them grow together.

Their machine is the heart and soul of this show.

I hate the way she claps. I can't believe she clapped like that as a cheerleader! Correct clapping in one of the first things you learn!

I like Paula, too. She's loopy, but it comes from the heart (doesn't it?).

Interesting timing, but I just heard a report on Xtra that she was involved in a hit & run accident several weeks ago in L.A. She allegedly sideswiped a car, but no one was hurt. They said she was "unavailable" for comment.

Man Accuses Paula Abdul of Hit and Run
March 17, 2005 Celebrity Justice

"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul has been caught in a real-life hit and run investigation involving her Mercedes. Sources say, it all happened on a busy Los Angeles freeway at 7:40 a.m. on the Monday before Christmas. Officials say a driver claims Abdul's Mercedes struck his car, and allegedly kept on driving.

Paula wasn't available for comment on Thursday; her publicist told "CJ" she was flying to Malaysia. About the alleged hit and run, the publicist said, "I don't know anything about it."

The story first broke on a Web site called "Ron Fineman's 'On the Record,'" but "CJ" has learned even more details. Sources tell us that nobody was hurt in the incident, and we're told the driver of the other car took a picture with a camera phone and also that the passenger identified Paula. The driver contacted the California Highway Patrol the next day.

Paula told the Highway Patrol it could not have been her because her car was in the shop the day of the incident, but the CHP discovered -- and "CJ" has confirmed -- that Paula actually took her car to a Mercedes dealer the next day. Sources tell us she told the service department that her car died on the freeway. The shop did a routine maintenance check.

"Hit and run" is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

Paula has not been charged, but we're told the city attorney is taking the case, "very seriously," and a decision will be made Friday.

I like Paula most of the time. I know many consider her comments worthless but she often says exactly what I am thinking. What I find a bit odd is that she can look really gorgeous but continually plays around with looks that are far less flattering. Like a teenager who hasnt come into her own yet. I dont understand it because there are times when she looks exquisite, you would think she would realize or that someone would tell her (hint, Simon)... JMO I guess.

I just have to sat that i can't see Anwar making it much further, he is just way too boring, just had to get that out.

to me all of anwar's songs are presented exactly the same week after week. it must be the way he 'studied' music. they start out dragging and making me yawn, then they perk up a bit and he has one long note at the end. it's almost a formula, IMO.
unless he can change things up, i wouldn't buy something of his if he won AI. just too boring for me.

but want to add that a co-worker always raves about anwar. i even told my dd, 'watch when i tell deb about how great i think nadia was', or whatever...and no matter who i compliment--or comment on--from the show, deb always says something along the lines of, "oh, but that anwar. he just gives me the goosebumps"....."he was so incredible", blah blah.
so, it's obviously a matter of taste~
