Am in the middle of watching this--switching back and forth from the Scrubs marathon. I actually like Alexandra's performance! I must be nuts. She was very sweet. I also really liked that Vanessa Williams song. That Angela person was way too loud for me! Turn down the volume babe.

Okay...my pics are:

Justin
Kelly
Alexis

I just wasn't impressed with this weeks as much.

I am saving all my votes for RJ next week (unless he chokes, which he won't). Rabbit was 3 for 3 last week and I am going to think you are psychic if it happens again

Anyone else notice that Paula is getting less and less respect re: her opinions? Simon might be seen as brutal but when he does say something positive, the singers just glow and when Randy says something negative, they really take it hard. Paula on the other hand says pretty much the same condescending mantra to everyone and none of them really care.

I'm going with: Kelly, Alexis and Justin.

Rissa, I noticed that too! Good point

Wcv, I'm not familiar with Popstars? but I'll take your word for it!

I know this may not be popular, but I LOVED Jamar. There was something about him and the way he sang that song. Realllly enjoyed it and voted for him all the way through Houston Medical.

My picks

Kelly
Justin
Jazmin

I doubt Jamar will make it although I really wish he would!

My take this week was that nobody was a good as the good ones from last week, and nobody was a horrible as the bad ones from last week!!

I liked Alexis, Jazmin, Kelly and Angela (but lose the nosering for now and too bad about the tattoos.

Gil sounds good, but not exciting. Justin.. also pretty good but doesn't have "it" for me.

I do give Tenia props for trying to dress up her image but the voice isn't there.

Webkitty, Popstars was a making the band type show that begat the pop group Eden's Crush. For more info: http://www.wb16.com/shows_details.asp?ID=26

Also from Television without Pity, written by Pamie re Angela Peel:

"Angela Peel is the pretty girl who gave birth three weeks ago. She dances, and in a split-screen we see her all exhausted with the new kid. She explains to us that she basically sat on her ass for nine months waiting for some damn kid to be born, ready to ruin her life, "in chill mode and everything," and now she gets to get up and dance, so it's crazy because she's dancing, and not sitting down rocking her kid to sleep. Does anyone think that the powers that be would let a new teen mom be in a pop group? She's pretty and all, but those tattoos and that kid mean she's either got to go be the new Lil' Kim, or she'll have to wait a few years before she can be on a tour as a backup singer for someone else. Angela's dance style is to hold the waistband of her pants up as she rocks her ass back and forth until you're hypnotized like a snake. That's also just how she got pregnant, by the way."

The writer of the above piece also really Alexandra. Here's the link if you want to read the whole article (it's a rather long episode recap): http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/story.cgi?show=60&story=2374&limit=&sort=

Whats the problem with the tattoos?

I can understand the baby, since this would mean alot of time away.

Teddy that was not my opinion but the opinion of the author of the recap at Television without Pity. I have nothing against tatoos as long as they don't "take over" and serve as a personality replacement.

My bias against the Popstar rejects has more to do with the fact that I didn't care for these people on Popstar and I am finding it difficult to care for them American Idol.

I really liked Gil. He has a great voice, and he sang the song much better than Justin IMHO. Justin is o.k., but I'm not that impressed. Gil can always work on his look. Think of J Lo, when she was a fly girl she didn't have a great look, but look at her now.

I voted for Gil. ALthough I don't think he'll win.

I got home late and missed the first couple of contestants last night. Have to agree that, overall, this group was weaker than the one last week.

My picks from this group would be
Angela
Justin
Jazmin or Kelly

The two PopStar rejects (Tenia and Alexandra) don't do anything for me. They seem to think "the look" is the most important and I think their voices are weak.

Jamar seemed to hold promise, but I agreed with Simon - he yelled, he didn't sing.

I only saw Gil and Alexis in the recap. Looked like Gil did a good job, but hard to tell. I was glad not to have heard all of Alexis' performance.

AJ has a nice voice, but didn't stand out to me at all.

We'll see what happens tonight! :)

I'm not against tattoos.. but I think probably when someone is wanting to be a pop idol.. best to come in with as few "enhancements as possible" and then build your style. But, if the voice and personality are there, that isn't a big deal.

I always figure piercings are better than tats since you can change your mind later.

Yu.. I agree.. I'd definitely go with Gil over Justin.

I'm excited.. I will not miss this tonight!!

Nuts!!! Did anyone here pick A.J? He is cute!

I picked AJ. I'm 3 for 3 tonight! Whooooo!

Webkitty

I picked A.J.!

He seems soooo nice! And a voice like an ~angel~
He was so grateful for the vote, it made me feel good that I voted for him.

His "look" is that of a boy band, (rather than a solo star) but with the right makeover he could be spiffed up, oh yes!

Kelly, I know last night I said she was pitiful, (her performance) but I'm open to hearing her again. She seemed nice too

Justin, I just don't think he "has" it. I don't think he is good looking at all, he voice seems weak to me, and he's too smug. I don't like his smarmyness.

Ok, so I'm happy with 2 out of 3!! LOL!

Can I ask who were the three picked by the audience to be the top three? I am a West Coaster depending on you East Coasters to do the job again as on Survivor. Thanks so much. Buzz.
