Did anyone see this today? She has a hunt on for a Popstar OLDER than that allowed on AI. They had 8 semifinalists on today. Our voting this week will drop it to 3 (website and phone) Final prize is an Epic Record contract. I think Simon Cowell judges the three next week. The 8 semifinalists are 6 women and 2 men (one of whom is a DR)

I saw the commercial this morning for it, but I'm at work when Oprah comes on. What is the age limit for AI? Under 25?

I watched some of it. I was blown away by Lorenzo Owens. I think he has the whole package--talent, looks and charisma. I hope he wins.

I also saw some of it & agree with you Scorpiomoon, I was totally taken by Lorenzo. He is defintely ready! I will be very disappointed if he doesn't win. I say this even though I didn't see all the others, I did see LaShell, she was very good but Lorenzo was was above her!

I agree with you, Keeprs. If Lorenzo doesn't win I will disappointed too. Some of the women were almost as good as he was. Others were not even on the same level. He was the best. I'm curious to see what Simon will say about him.

I haven't seen this but I'm wondering how the competition is compared to AI. Are these people much better, not as good, etc. I'm just curious because I always thought they could stand to up the age on AI and get better talent. (JMHO) Thanks!

Oprah's popstars were definitely a cut above AI. Actually, Oprah's worse one was better than any one on AI so far that I've seen this season.

I agree with Kimmy. These people had much more talent--refined talent--than the AI contestants. Even though the "ideal" popstar is someone in their late teens-early twenties, there really is something to be said for a voice and talent that has had time to mature.

I just turned on Oprah... the 3 finalists are Lorenzo, LaNesha & top vote getter, LaShell.

So does anyone NOT think that LaShell won it all? Even Simon couldn't find one bad thing to say about her. He didn't even tell her to lose weight!

Yeah, LaShell was won this thing. Lorenzo was off his game and LaNesha sounded to cardboard. I hope some record exec out there appreciates Lorenzo and gives him a contract even though he didn't win.

You are right Pamy, Oprah did not like Simon criticizing at all. It was kind of like "how dare he say bad things about people on my show". It seemed to me she took it personally if something bad was said. Scorpio I believe you have it right in your synopsis...LaShell will take this & I also hope Lorenzo gets a contract.

I bet she was the lead singer in her church choir. It must have been a pleasure to be in that church
