This show is getting good again. I'm really impressed with some of the singing on tonights show. Can't wait till this gets down to the cream of the crop.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice there are many beautiful, talented female singers and most of the male singers are really unattractive? Let's hope the L'Oreal makeup people can help those guys out. I'm still liking Suzy. And there was a girl named Bree who, I believe made it through to the top 32, I really liked. I now have a personal obsession with getting freaking Dave Moffatt off this show.

Heh...there are guys on the show? Didn't notice. Lots of hotties though. I kid...the one guy who sticks out for me, is the big heavy fellow. I like him. I've no idea who the Dave Moffatt feller is, but I hope he's not biggins.

Crossfire: Dave is the really unattractive guy who was wearing a black V-neck sweater. At one point, they talked to him one-on-one and he said he was "going all the way" and wanted to take his "friends" with him.

Oh ok, I know who you mean. I don't recall any of his singing though...so I'm kind of left empty handed here. Ummm...when I first heard that he had a couple of vids on muchmusic or whatever it was, I was a bit unhappy about that, but we are talking a long time ago if I understand things right, so I'm not going to hold it against him though. I'd prefer a newb though.

but we are talking a long time ago The last single The Moffatts put out was in 2001. Granted that was four years ago, but is four years "a long time ago"? Ok, I need to clam down. This Dave thing really starting to bother me.

Well..yeah you have a point...I just think with how young most of these people are, that four years can be an eternity in their development. As long as we have some talent, I'll live.

so, are the idol competitions open to professionals then? I guess "professional" could mean anybody who ever got paid $50 to sing at a wedding, but are there no rules about that kind of thing?

AS QB stated above, there seem to be no rules (except for age limit) at all.

Cross, the guy you are talking about it Aaron. He lives near London Ontario. I was really impressed with his voice the first time I saw him. There is an article in the paper about him this morning as well. [deleted link as, for spome reason, it doesn't lead to an article on AAron..mod 47]

I like Aaron as well. In fact, he was really the only guy that I found memorable. I don’t like the "boy band" types. There seem to be a lot of good female singers in the competition. With respect to "pros" entering the competition, as Scorpio and I were discussing earlier, you’d either have to be a pretty unknown pro (garage band type) who is performing at dances or a "has been" pro who is trying to make a come-back. I can’t see a successful professional entering the competition because they have far too much to lose with far too little to gain. The results could be hilarious. I can just hear Zack saying something like "You mumble the lyrics, your moves are bad and you have limited range". Talk about killing a career or at the least, potential embarrassment! I’m not a fan of this Dave Moffatt guy (honestly I wouldn’t even have known he was a pro until Scorpio mentioned it). I agree with the idea of them taking a completely unknown singer with little experience and a lot of raw talent and helping them become an "Idol". That is much more appealing than watching rather jaded "pros" performing in this sort of competition.

Did everyone enjoy Sass' little number last night? What was that about? Otherwise it was a great show. I felt bad for the young girl that Zack made cry on Tuesday. I thought she sounded really good but was a little too emotional. I guess she can always come back next year.

I think that a year or two more under her belt is exactly what that little girl (Amanda Marles) needs. She has a good voice, but she was just too weak emotionally to handle not only the stress of the Idol show, but at this point in her life I think the music industry would chew her up and spit her out. A few more years, a little more confidence and hopefully she'll be back. I think the judges were right on the money sending her home this time around. As for Sass's song, I guess it takes a lot of balls to come out and sing, even though you are accomplished when you are in the position of judging others,it really sets you up for criticism. But hey, good for Sass. We never see Paula or Randy perform on AI...(thankfully so... )

I liked Sass’ performance, but I found its inclusion in the show a little odd. Almost as if they wanted to prove that she can sing (and they did prove it!). I initially felt bad for the girl that Zack made cry, but I found that what they were showing of her personality was wearing a little thin after awhile. I don’t like it when people don’t take responsibility and try to blame other things for their success or failure. They are more than happy to take credit for their success, but unwilling to accept any responsibility for a less than stellar performance. Maybe this is what Zack noticed that set him off earlier. I agree that she has a nice voice, but just wasn’t ready for this level of competition. Putting her through would have been crueler than making her wait until next year to try again.

Dave is the really unattractive guy Wow, I hardly think hes "really unattractive"! I've never understood the need to put people down based on their looks. I'd never heard of Dave Moffat before this show... I loved Sass's performance and loved that they stick things in like that, it's why I like CI more than AI.

Wow, I hardly think hes "really unattractive"! No, no. Trust me, I'm stating a fact here. I've never understood the need to put people down based on their looks. These aren't "people". These are performers who will be harshly judged on their singing ability, their stage presence and how attractive they are. It's one thing to criticize people in our daily lives, it's quite another when people are willingly putting themselves out there to be judged, Looks matter in this competition. Re: Sass's song: The thought that came to mind was that, maybe, Sass is putting out a new CD and this was a clever way of slipping in, what could be, the first single. Then again, maybe they thought it would be cool for her to sing something that, sort of, seemed fitting for the show.

Actually,I never have thought that Dave is unattractive.I've watched him and his brothers career blossom over the years,from their first appearance on Sally Jesse Rapheal to their last video.Dave is one in a set of triplets if i remember correctly.I personally have no problem with Dave in the competition.I have my own favorite right now,that is Suzy and I like the Dave that was there with his girlfriend.

MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!! STOP! PLEASE STOP!!! UGH! Dave is on the wrong reality TV show. They could do wonders with him on Extreme Makeover. Could we quickly move this thread along so that image will disappear in the archives?

the Moffatts sing very nasally. Never liked their music....Personally I think the fact that they were Triplets was the gimmick. I was thinking that one guy looked really familar LOL I didnt realize this was HIM> Anyways, Suzy is a big bar singer around here. I have seen her quite a few times myself. I'd say TOP TEN for sure.

I just started watching tonight and I've really loved some of the talent. I have a couple of favorites so far but I don't know their names. I will definitely keep watching.
