Webkitty | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 06:37 pm     Hi Ketchup and Faery! Very exciting! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 06:38 pm     Hahahahhahahhaha!!!! Ketchup, did you see ~Something About Mary~? |
Webkitty | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 06:44 pm     Justin: ~Sunny~ Hit all the notes, is at ease on stage, but I just don't like him, audience does though..... Randy, didn't like choice of song, Paula, star quality, Simon, has been out performed by 3 girls tonight......... Crowd goes wild................cheering....... |
Webkitty | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 06:53 pm     Ryan ~you really got me~ Notes off, RAndy, didn't think she was good tonight, Paula agreed, Simon, dredful! (it was pretty bad) she looked good though, and like Paula said, she WAS sexy as hell, I could see her in a rock band.......... |
Webkitty | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 06:59 pm     Whew, its over.... I thought Tamyra was the best overall, she nailed it so perfectly. Next, Kelly did a great job tonight, I don't know what that note was though........ I guess Justin was good, I just think he's smarmy (sorry Justin fans!) The rest of them were so-so. I think AJ Gil and Christina might get the boot tomorrow. Now off to watch my tape of the Mole!  |
Ladytex | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 07:06 pm     Tonight I thought Kelly did the best job. She sang that song. I never call these shows, but had to call for her tonight. Justin is okay, I don't particularly care for him though. He has a dreadful attitude, very cocky. AJ needs to go ... he was horribly outclassed out there. If not AJ, then Randy goes. I didn't like how she sang that song tonight. I usually like her, though. |
Ketchuplover | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 07:43 pm     Randy? |
Muse | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:07 pm     My opinions: A.J. - I bet he'll be the one to go tomorrow. He just can't keep up with the others. Kelly - One of her best performances yet. Often when the contestants try something different it completely flops...didn't happen this time. She really deserves to be in the top three, IMO. R.J. - A good performance for him. He has a lovely voice. He doesn't have the spark that a few of them have, but I like him. Justin - Oh, I just cringed when he talked back to Simon. No, Justin, no! That never looks good! Anyway, I thought he gave one of the top three performances of the night (and that Simon was wrong), although he's done better in the past. I'm sure he'll make this next cut, but I don't think he's going to win this thing. Christina - I thought that was...bad. Unremarkable, and the vibrato is terrible. Simon is apparently deafened by her beauty. Ryan - Awful. An example of someone who tries something different and fails. I think she thought that her sex appeal would help her pull it off. Nikki - Back to what she's good at. But I'm not a fan since I feel like that's really *all* she can do. She should look into fronting a rock band or something. Tamyra - I didn't like the song. I felt like the backup vocals were practically making it into a duet. But she's still awesome. I'm sure I'll like her better next week. |
Wink | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:08 pm     Kelly has phenomenal range and won the nite for me. Just wish she didn't look so much like Spears. Tamyra - awesome and so relaxed on stage. This girl really connects with her audience and is totally in the music. Christina - she'll be better next week. Justin - not his best effort. I've always hated that song. Nikki - agree with Webkitty. She's not Janis. Ryan - Such a pretty girl but she doesn't suit the punk "yelling" style. Hated it. RJ and AJ - I think they should both be eliminated this week but the young teen audience will probably keep one of them in. Simon - love him. He knows whereof he speaks. |
Whoami | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 08:35 pm     Pretty much agree with everyone. Loved Tamyra and Kelly. Ryan was pretty much dreadful as Simon says. She never really sang. Just yelled. It would have been marginally better if she'd held the ending note of each line a bit, instead of clipping it off so suddenly. If she'd held the note, it may have actually sounded like singing. |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:27 pm     Kelly was awesome. Every week she sings something from a different genre and totally nails it! Love her, love her voice, love her personality! Tamyra also did a wonderful job. The backup vocals were more intrusive than usual for a venue such as this though. Great stage presence. Justin with that little sparkle in his eyes appeals to the soft spot in my soul. Plus, although it's not a popular song, "Sunny" has always been one of my favorites. It reminds me of certain very special times in my life. RJ has the looks, the smile and the smooth voice to go places. He already has plenty of fans (ones that even managed to make him fall off the stage) and I expect we'll be hearing of him in the future. Perhaps not in relation to AI....but he won't disappear. Christina is usually so much better. She didn't have the same spark and the same voice quality as past shows. Ryan appeals to guys and young girls. The song she chose had..what...7 words that repeated themselves in some fashion over and over. She did smolder while she was singing. I can see her appeal. My daughter loves her. AJ...this guy's story almost makes me want to cry. He just doesn't have what it takes to go all the way in this one. Nikki has come to the end of the road I think. Not feeling her....I think she'd be great in a group but don't believe solo is her forte. |
Ladytex | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:32 pm     Sorry, I meant Ryan Starr ... "dreadful", in the word of my fav Simon |
Kitt | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:35 pm     Madelane, I made a mistake about Simon! He is a BIG record exec, but he's not the creator/producer of the show. That's a completely different Simon altogether. Oh well. Sorry for the confusion! |
Kitt | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:54 pm     What on earth was Ryan up to!? Poor girl, she'd done so well before. And Justin, part of his charm is his sweetness; him asking the audience what they thought made he seem very full of himself. RJ and AJ were pretty much the same, I think they should be the next two to go. |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 05:47 am     I think it will be Nikki or AJ tonight. I thought RJ could have done better, however, he is my favorite so I have fingers and toes crossed. I personally think he has perfect pitch and I love his voice. I have never heard him flat or sharp on a note. Unfortunately, he isn't a fantastic fanatic on the stage and that hurts him. Justin--practically is making love to every camera. Sometimes that is irritating. Otherwise...good performance. Tamyra--great performance, but sometimes she sounded a bit flat to me. But her rendition all in all was very good. Kelly-- WOW. Phenomenal. She didn't scream it and I thought she did great. Nikki--back to the old Nikki, however, I wasn't a big fan of the old Nikki. Would make a good singer for a rock band. Unique style. I just don't think her vocals are all that spectacular. A.J.--wasn't impressed at all. He was nervous and wasn't hitting the notes. Christina--she was a little sharp. Her vibrato is too shrill for me. It just doesn't come out with an even beat (like it is smushed together and comes out sounding like a wounded billy goat). Ryan--Blech. She did just sing in one octave And although she looked good, BLECH. Better songs out there for her. She has better range than that. My two cents isn't worth diddly, but I was raised by a band director who was a professional drummer. I play violin and piano and have since I was 4. I was fortunate enough to have studied in D.C. under wonderful classical musicians from the performing arts center. I went to college on a Music scolarship. What I am getting at is...I would have thrown that all away to have the opportunity that these guys are getting. I think all of these people are talented to have made it this far. Congratulations to all of them. |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 08:55 am     Looks like I'm in agreement with much of what was said above. I had to call and vote several times for Kelly. I thought she was the best last night and I like her personality. Justin is starting to get on my nerves a bit -- too much mugging for the camera. He's got the moves, the look, and the voice but he didn't show off his voice last night (poor choice of song). His cockiness toward Simon was also a turnoff. The words "Leif Garrett" came to mind as I watched him last night. :0 Ryan stunk. Who helps these people pick their song? Whoever encouraged her with this one should be shot. AJ has a nice voice but not the kind I'd want to hear song after song on a CD. Christine -- bad song. Nicki - unique but doesn't grab me. RJ - has a beautiful voice but doesn't seem to have the stage presence that someone like Tamyra has. As far as who should go tonight, I'm hoping Ryan, AJ, or Nicki. |
Ladytex | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 09:46 am     Brenda, Leif Garrett ... LOL ... I haven't thought of him in years (and that's a good thing). I'm hoping that AJ or Ryan goes tonight, I wasn't impressed with either of them. |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:47 am     Yes, Ladytex, thinking of Leif Garrett is not a good thing! I was more of a David Cassidy or Donny Osmond fan. Justin's mugging and winking and swarmy looks into the camera just gave me the Leif Garrett creeps last night. It's a shame too becuase I did like him. I'm wondering if his sea of screaming pre-pubescent fans has gone straight to his head. |
Realfan | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 11:50 am     ITA with most of the opinions you guys have already posted. Ryan made me cringe. Sounded flat and dead and shrill at the same time. Dreadful is right! Justin--I SO want to slap him! He was RUDE to Simon and confident about his "fan appeal." Blech. His overweening cockiness caused him to lose a lot of his appeal, at least for me. I mean, if he's that cocky and over-confident NOW, how awful will his attitude be if he actually wins this thing? Please let it not be so! We don't need another big-headed star who thinks he rules the world! Give me a respectful Kelly or Tamyra any day. Though the teenyboppers love Justin, I hope they don't sway the vote too much. I know he won't be voted out yet--but I no longer want him to win. |
Spramp | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 02:09 pm     I agree about Justin - He definitely pulled a "diva" last night. I do think he has the show wrapped up but I saw a different side to him last night and it wasn't good. The others have been much classier in dealing with Simon's feedback. He was arrogant and cocky...for shame! |
Madelane | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 05:07 pm     I know I will just be repeating what everyone else said, but it DID have to be said. Justin has turned some dark corner and it wasn't pretty. I thought they were there to sing to the live audience, not the camera. If he winks at me one more time I'm going to pinch him. And he interrupted Simon, before he was even finished, to goad the audience into cheering for him. Simon hadn't even really criticized him! Ego, or youth, either way he turned me way off. Kelly was amazing! She was so cute with the guy who came onstage! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Getting ready to spoil tonights show...... |
Webkitty | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 06:29 pm     Here we go........ 8 million calls last night!! Ryan, didn't express her vocal range but expressed who she was. Justin, wanted to make it clear he didn't mean to disrespect Simon (seems insincere to me) commercial..... |
Webkitty | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 06:40 pm     Back...... Showing them singing together....~California Dreaming~ nice, very pretty, they are outside around a campfire. The 3 lowest votes received were: Ryan got the least votes, next was RJ, Aj? ack! next, its either Nikki or Christina, they will say after the break (sorry about the RJ/AJ thing, it was the one that wanted to win for his mother) I'll get it when they come back from the break.... |
Webkitty | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 06:42 pm     It was AJ |
