I think that's why they don't put her husband on camera except for a flicker of a second. They know a lot of people will be turned off by the tattoos. And I had to laugh last week when they actually showed him from the right side. Really trying to play that down. She does have a beautiful voice and a great stage presence.

I wasn't a David Cook fan at the beginning, but he's won me over, in spite of the combover. He really does have a lot of talent.

Michael Johns needs to step up to the plate and hit it out of the park. He really hasn't wowed me since Hollywood. He needs to show us what he can do.

Brooke is lovely and has a good voice, but she's just too sweet for the music business. She needs to find a little edge or she'll become boring.

David Archuleta really amazes me. For such a young person, he really sings with a lot of heart. And that voice! I hope he can hold up under the pressure. It's a lot more work for him than the others, too, cause he's required to go to school a certain number of hours per day, cause he's under 18.

Jeeeeze... I just read my March 21, 2008 - 5:57 post. It should read "for the rest of the season," and not "the reason of the season." See? I was so distracted by Carly's and her husband's tattoos I couldn't concentrate on my post.

No worries, Lexie, I think we all figured out what you meant. Funny how the fingers just type that stuff on their own, even when the brain is thinking something else, isn't it?

Carly's tats don't bother me in the least, I don't think they are a distraction, and I can guarantee you that I am well into whatever age group you are hinting that would be turned off by them.

I listen to, and enjoy, her singing. I think she's got a phenomenal voice!

I'm even thinking of heading downtown to an Idol viewing party this week (although I doubt I'll make it, they are having parties at the bar she used to 'tend at).

There are a couple of others who have nice voices, but I get bored easily with them (Brooke is one). And while I like Michael Johns, I don't think he's really got that "it" thing that'll make him be a winner this year. Most of the rest of 'em bore me when they sing, and I find that I'll end up FF'ing thru their performances just to get to the comments by the judges.

Carly's tats don't bother me either & she IS the best female talent in this comp. IMO

I agree that Brooke has a nice voice but I'm also bored with her. She's like Amanda to me (& I really liked Amanda). Everything she sings kinda sounds like that last thing she sang.

The other girls are all forgetable.

I like all of the guys & truly believe that talent wise, all of the girls except Carly should leave before any of the guys.

Just wanted to jump on the Carly bandwagon and say that I think her tattoos are cool, and I turned 38 yesterday. I always meant to get one but I chickened out! I love it when they do "sleeves" like hers. And yes her husband is pretty dramatic with the face tattoos but to each their own! It's art! Some of my best friends are covered in tattoos but I'm in court every day and probably couldn't get away with it.

Anyway I would hate to think that she is being judged by her body art and not her singing and personality.

FWIW I thought Tamyra Gray was a better vocalist than Kelly Clarkson and Kelly won because she had the stage presence. This is not 'just' a singing competition, it is a 'entire package' competition. I like brook, but I can see the rocker guy taking the win.

I agree. As I am fond of saying each year, it is not a radio show. Plus many extremely successful performers in the business aren't exceptional vocalists.

For example, Britney Spears, can't sing, IMO, worth a lick, but she is a VERY good performer (in her earlier days, pre-video music awards). I saw her in concert after her 1st or 2nd album was put out and was VERY surprised at the amount of talent she had for dancing, her stag show was really good, her vocals, even recorded were not that great.

I agree with Escapee.. Britney Spears can't sing, but she can dance. I always thought Christina Aguilera couldn't dance a bit, but sang really well

I repeat my same argument every year. Clint Black and Garth Brooks. Clint Black is a great singer...Garth Brooks is a good singer. Garth Brooks was the megastar. He had whatever "it" was that people were needing right then and there. (Not that Clint didn't have a good career but compared to Garth, who was in a league of his own, it wasn't the same.)

Roxip you are exactly right. Tours and shows make a star a star and bring in more capital than anything else because besides radio and video, that's what sells a record. Garth puts on a great show, clint, does it without all the hype. Could you imagine the star power Clint would have had with the shows like Garth's? However, it's not his personality. If you are going to have a laid back personality and still tour, you aren't going to bring in the sold out crowds unless you are George Strait.

And George is in a class all by himself. George defines class!

But if you ever wanna see a show go see the Austin Lounge Lizards!
