Oregonfire | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 09:30 pm     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. |
Rabbit | Tuesday, June 25, 2002 - 11:28 pm     hic .. hic .. where am I? .. oh yeah .. a keyboard .. Rabbit predicts: AJ Kelly Justin not my favorites though. |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 06:38 am     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  |
Rissa | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 06:56 am     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. |
Imbewitched | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:42 am     I'm going with: Kelly, Alexis and Justin. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:58 am     Rissa, I noticed that too! Good point Wcv, I'm not familiar with Popstars? but I'll take your word for it! |
Teddybear | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 11:49 am     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! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 12:36 pm     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. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 12:54 pm     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= |
Teddybear | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 01:27 pm     Whats the problem with the tattoos? I can understand the baby, since this would mean alot of time away. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 03:43 pm     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. |
Yuhuru | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 03:45 pm     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. |
Max | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 03:51 pm     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! |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 05:03 pm     My picks: Alexis Justin Kelly |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 06:25 pm     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!! |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Yeah, 2 for 3!!!! |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 06:56 pm     Nuts!!! Did anyone here pick A.J? He is cute! |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:03 pm     I picked AJ. I'm 3 for 3 tonight! Whooooo! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:19 pm     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! |
Buzzbyjoe | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:54 pm     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. |
Buzzbyjoe | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:57 pm     Is it AJ Gil, Kelly, and Justin? judging from Webkitty message??? Thanks. Buzz |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 07:58 pm     Buzzbyjoe, yes, it was those three |
Buzzbyjoe | Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 08:01 pm     Thanks Webkitty. You come through again for me. Buzz. |
