Tonight's show 9-3
Yuhuru | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 02:57 pm     I agree Kitt. I thought it was just me. Kelly is a much better singer, but I thought Justin did really well last night. The cheese really suited him. The songs fit him beter than Kelly. Kelly sounded so much like she was trying to sing the songs like Mariah Cary. I wasn't feeling it. I'll be honest I really don't care who wins at this point. They're both really talented. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:02 pm     Kitt and Yuhuru...it's hard to be objective when one has a favorite. I don't know the technical aspects of music but to my untrained ear it sounded to me like Kelly totally owned the night. |
Kitt | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:14 pm     I take it that was a general comment Wcv, if so I agree, it's hard, but not impossible. As I said before, generally I thought Kelly was better (much better) but last night Justin came out on top, imo. Nothing to do with favourites. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:29 pm     Kitt...I was speaking for myself....I favor Kelly so I find it harder to be objective. Nothing against Justin...I just like her better. |
Yuhuru | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Wcv63, I could be biased. I'm secretly hoping Kelly doesn't win. Here's why: Those songs were way too cheesy. She's much better than that in my opinion. She's definetly going to be a star. After what I heard (the songs themselves) there is no way I'd buy her American Idol CD. Also Kelly seemed to be trying too hard last night. Justin really was shinig and in his element last night. btw I'm not a Justin fan. |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:58 pm     Yuhuru, while I'm rooting for Kelly to win, I really think she may be better off if she doesn't because if she has to sing cheese like that, then I won't be buying. Yuck! If she's not the "american idol" she may have more control over what type of song she gets to sing and what kind of album she'd make. So, if she loses tonight it may be a blessing in disguise. |
Kitt | Thursday, September 05, 2002 - 11:50 am     Wcv - I think the term "American Idol" is a bit out of synch with what we've ended up with... in the end it was more like a singing contest, which gave us a few absolutely amazing singers, like Kelly and Tamyra. The trouble is I thought the show was looking for what old folk like me would call a "pop star", and I don't think either of the girls are, they are just (and I don't mean that lightly) very good singers. I'm not sure what market Kelly will have, I agree with Brenda, that they'll probably give her cheesy stuff to sing and it doesn't do her justice. Although I don't think Justin was as good a singer, I do think he's a very good fit to the pop idol mould. |
Hummingbird | Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 01:22 pm     I don't agree! I think Kelly will be around for a long time. |
Kitt | Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 02:19 pm     I hope she is, she seems such a sweet girl and she certainly wants to, and can, sing. I've been watching her on those Extra/Access Hollywood type shows these last few days and I'm already a bit worried about what will happen to her. How long do you think it will be before we see her stick thin and never without makeup? She just seems so real at the moment, I'd hate for that to change but somehow it seems inevitable. Sorry, just having a maternal moment... |
Hummingbird | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 09:28 pm     What was up with Christina's hair on the results show? I've never seen a do like that before. She is a beautiful girl but seems to have no energy at all. I hope she isn't anorexic. They always deny it saying they are "just small boned" or something. |
Muse | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 11:50 am     Kelly said in a recent interview that the one thing that she really wants now is a personal trainer. The way she worded it made me suspect that she thinks she needs to lose weight (probably because of what people have said about her - just because she isn't super thin like Tamyra or Christina, some people have said she's "fat"). And I don't think that's the case at all. |
Kitt | Monday, September 09, 2002 - 01:50 pm     Oh that's a shame if she thinks that already. Hopefully she'll focus on fitness and not weight, as I'm sure exercise will really help her with her hectic schedule, whereas getting stick thin won't. It's hard to think of her as 20 somehow, as old as Brittany Spears. She seems so much like a child except for her voice. |
