Mssilhouette | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 11:13 pm     Okay here's how it went: 1-866-IDOLS- (2 digit number of your choice) -01 Tamyra Gray - "You're gonna love me" Excellent -02 Jim Verraros - "When I fall in love" He could have done better -03 Adriel Herrera - "Fan of your live" (sorry don't know the correct title) He was very good too -04 Rosedia Eaves - "Daydream Beliver" Um not good enough..it was a kinda crappy rendition I agreed with Simon..she did to many runs. -05 Natalie Burge - "Crazy" Um her voice didn't follow through with her ambition. -06 Brad Estrin - "Just once" Okay if you gonna go with Peabo then you better do it right and he didn't. -07 Ryan Starr - A jazzy/blues song - about a woman having food" VERY GOOD! This 17 yr old is gonna go places. Her outfit was crappy though enough with the rags -08 Justinn Waddell - "When a man loves a woman" Okay being bare chested didn't work neither did the singing -09 Kelli Glover - "I'll always love you" Whitney imitation through and through. I agree that she needs to show her own style and that throaty thing isn;'t working. -10 Chris Aaron - "Still in love with you" VERY GOOD My pics -01 -07 -10 |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 11:41 pm     My ranking based solely on tonight's performances: On to the finals 1. Christopher 2. Kelli 3. Tamyra Alternate votes 4. Adriel 5. Ryan Thought would be better 6. Rodesia 7. Natalie Really disliked 8. Brad 9. Justinn 10. Jim (BTW, "Just Once" is by James Ingram, not Peabo Bryson) |
Imbewitched | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 06:39 am     My choices: 1. Tamyra 2. Kelli 3. Adriel My original choices included Jim and Ryan. I thought their song selections let them down. |
Madelane | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 07:26 am     I wonder why it is that I'm the only one who thought Adriel was terrible. He sang the whole song all low and right around one note, like in his nose or something - I thought it sounded really strange and wrong. He nearly creeped me out, too. Chris was the first guy who could really SING - he was amazing. |
Hereiam | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 09:33 am     I thought Chris was great too. I also like Tamyra. Kelli was good also but I would have prefered to see her own style. I thought Natalie and Ryan were very good but could have picked better songs. A bunch of them could have picked better. Since they are competeing for American Idol (and I view that as being a pop thing) they should probably pick more modern pop type stuff. IMO |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 10:23 am     My Choices to move on are: 1. Tamyra 2. Ryan 3. Chris |
Kady | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 11:15 am     Does anyone think the judges opinions will really sway the voters? Paula had no real constructive critism. I think if the judges were picking, Tamyra, Adriel, and Chris would move on. I wonder who the public will vote for. I actually called in for Natalie, Ryan and Adriel. Did anyone else call? |
Theowl | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 11:24 am     I tried to call for Natalie, Kelli, and Tamyra, but I couldn't get through, it was busy. I'm in central time zone, but I watched it at 11:00, when it was on on the west coast.(direct sat dish) You could only call in for 2 hours, so maybe they wouldn't take my call anyway.  |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 11:26 am     One question. What is shafafa? I'm serious. I voted for Tamyra, Adriel and Ryan. But this shafafa thing is driving me nuts! |
Hotlantan | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 01:02 pm     Wcv63 - that was "Frim Fram Sauce", an old standard by Nat King Cole and more recently Diana Krall. http://www.bluesforpeace.com/lyrics/frim-fram-sauce.htm Word of advice for the remaining twenty: Do a contempary pop song from this generation, but don't do a "classic" new song unless you can NAIL it (Tamyra did, Kelli almost did). Adriel and Chris were very smart in their choices, on the flip side Rodesia and Ryan probably killed their chance to move on to the next round. Favorite Simon moment: When Simon told Jim in essence, "If you are a top vote getter, then the terrorists will have won". Jim is really milking this "I used to be fat and I have deaf parents" sympathy thing, but teenyboppers with redial are probably going to make sure he takes one of the three spots. Favorite Randy moment: When Randy told Justinn "That was an interesting outfit" with out commenting on his singing. What he really wanted to say was "Girlfriend, please! What do YOU know about a man loving a woman? Even deaf-boy Jim would be more believable singing that song!" Favorite Paula moment: When Paula told Hotlantan "Yes, yes, oooh daddy yes!". Wait... wrong message board...  |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 01:10 pm     See...my opinion is that Ryan did extremely well. I thought she kept up with the beat and had depth in her singing and the performed the song quite well. I guess she might lose if the voting population is mostly preteen and that definitely might be the case. I think she held her own and too bad if Simon didn't like it. What does he like anyway? |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 01:31 pm     Hotlantan, thanks for the link, but like Wcv, I still don't know what shifafa is? I have to agree about Jim, the guy irritates me. Something about his mouth..... This is on again tonight at 9:30? They are going to announce the results of the phone in. I wonder how "true" the results will be. Family members and friends dialing non-stop for 2 hours....... At least is toll free! |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 01:33 pm     After I heard the song on the radio this morning...then i said..oops James Ingram..oh well someone who sang well. Thanks for the correction. I like Ryan's song, it showed she has an appreciation for the classics. And for them to say "I don't know what I could do with you" is basically show how limited their skills are. If she can belt out an old classic then she can pretty much sing any style. Sheesh |
Rabbit | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 02:08 pm     This is not my vote, but my prediction. 1- Jim 2- Ryan 3- Tamyra Friends and family members will not be able to significantly influence the vote because the astronomically large number of votes will make that physically impossible. Teenagers will have a huge huge say in the outcome, but teenagers have been determining who are the American Pop Idols since George "Bugs" Washington crooned "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" while being rowed across the Potomac. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 02:20 pm     Yow! Rabbit! Row row row your boat.......... Do you really think Jim will get #1 spot? When he stuck his lower lip out in a pout I thought I was going to heave! ~lounge lizard~ was all I could think of....... MisSil, I agree about Ryan, sheesh is right. I WISH I could sing like that. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 02:25 pm     Wait a minute: The singers are supposed to develop their own styles, so if they pick a modern pop icon's song, they are "imitating" the original singer in a negative way. But if they pick a classic song where the audience is unlikely to know the original singer, then they are being too obscure and classing themselves out of the competition. And if they sing a popular song by a popular singer, but sing it in their own style, then they will get accused of hitting all the wrong notes and misinterpreting the original. Is there any right way to go here? I still say that Ryan Starr is the way to go and hope the majority agrees with me. If Simon says he doesn't know what to do with her, then he is without vision and ignoring his own rule that the singer be unique. JMO |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 02:31 pm     Ok Hotlantan...now I have even more questions. In addition to shifafa what in the world is oss and fay and are they better fried. What a silly question. Almost everything is better fried. But still. What is oss and fay with shifafa on the side. If I order this at Burger King what will I get? |
Rissa | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 03:36 pm     Wcv63.. what you will get is a strange look and if you push it, probably one of those kewl white jackets with no sleeves. {G} I will gladly admit to being a bit dense when it comes to picking out subtlety in writing from people I don't know well.. but I will take the risk of being tsked by telling all of you who asked that shifafa and oss and fay, etc are all just nonsense words. They make for a kewl song though. LOL |
Yuhuru | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 03:58 pm     I liked Tamyra and Chris alot. I'm in the "A-T-L" so they've been playing their audio clips on the radio since the first show. Kelly was really good, but I thought that she should have taken SImon's comments to heart. That was the first time I've seen him give someone an awesome compliment(I know, I know, in a crappy way). But it was useful. Ryan is really something. She's got "it" We all know that you don't have to be the most talented to be a big star. SHe's got something kinda special going on. I tried to vote, but couldn't get through. Oh well. |
Puttergirl | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 06:17 pm     I too, really hated that lip thing going on with Jim. He started grossing me out!! And I thought that Rosadia was terrible!!!! Hey, Yuhuru, I'm also from Atlanta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 06:30 pm     ITS ON!!!!!! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 06:40 pm     First picked: Tamera |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 06:44 pm     okay...i am one for three...now come on ryan and chris |
