Ketchuplover | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:49 pm     I hope they each sing twice,otherwise it will be one long show. What do you think? |
Kitt | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 03:33 pm     At least they'll be able to do a full song, it'd be nice not to have the start and end cut off. Please no more hideous Ford Focus jaunts!!!! |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 03:59 pm     If Nicole doesn't go tonight, something is wrong!!! Although I wouldn't mind if it was Justin. Anyway, it would be a crime if Kelly and Tamyra aren't the final two!! |
Aria | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 04:46 pm     I agree Ketchup. I just hope there isn't too much extra footage of those doofus hosts. I can't stand them. I may actually tape this show and watch it later just in case I need to FF through too much of those two. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 05:27 pm     Ketchup, thanks for starting the thread, I was just coming here to do it Everyone! Don't forget to vote for your fav tonight, it could be a close one. Every vote might just count See you all back here in a few............. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 05:55 pm     Its on!!! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 05:57 pm     Songs tonight from the 80's and 90's AND they will sing twice!! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 05:59 pm     Showing them doing publicity, tips for dealing with the press from YM magizine. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:03 pm     First up: Tamyra singing ~New Attitude~ She looks good, more professional with her new hairstyle but she faltered at one point and her voice seems a little strained. She seems relaxed and having fun though. Randy: picked a very ambitious song, (Patty Labelle) not your best, its hard to do "Patty" Paula: agrees Simon: lets see what you do the second time around (tonight) |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:12 pm     2nd up: Nikki singing ~Mary Jane~ I don't know this song, her voice is off, but the crowd seems to love her, weird song, I don't know what to say..... Randy: good choice of song for you, one of your better performances, but it was just ok for me Paula: you really found your comfort zone tonight Simon: That was FANTASTIC performance, crowd cheers! Simon digs on Randy for only saying it was "ok" Randy mouths back to Simon!!!! Woo hoo!! Wow |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:15 pm     Kelly ~Its Raining Men~ She faultered on first few notes, not her best, imo, looks like she might even have forgot a word or two, not a good song for her. Randy: That was amazing, you could sing anything Paula: your voice is bigger than two weathermen put together Simon: good, but I'm looking forward to your next performance |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:26 pm     Justin singing ~Get Here~ He sings the same type of song over and over and over and over!!!! (Sorry everyone) I think the girls have more versatility, even Nikki, at least she had tried different stuff. Good voice tonight though, ended on a nice note. Very pretty, he knows what he's good at at least. Randy: your best performance so far Paula: keep that sincerity going Simon: fabulous, its what you are all about, fantastically delivered |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:27 pm     Well, I guess except for Tamyra, I'm not seeing what the judges are seeing tonight....... |
Ariasmum | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:28 pm     I wasn't blown away by Tamyra. I thought Nikki looked great tonight but didn't think she was as FANTASTIC as Simon oozed. I wondered if Kelly missed a word or two or if the background was supposed to fill that in. That song is originally sung by 2 big black women who called themselves the weather girls so I think Paula's comment meant she really delivered it in a huge way. I liked Justin tonight. Are the songs a shorter version to fit them all in? |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:31 pm     Tamyra ~Feel the Fire~ She is so professional, the new makeover is helping me "see" her as the AI, great voice, she can sing, thats for sure. But not her best, imo. Randy: liked it, but a little sharp? Paula: Liked it Simon: you are world class, America should be proud of you |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:36 pm     Nikki ~I'm the only one~ Her voice just seems off to me, I like this song, but she is shouting it. Thats Ok, because thats how Melissa Etridge sings it, but her notes are off, she a great performer, but she never seems to hit a true note! What do I know...... Randy: perfect song for you Paula: tonight was your magic moment Simon: you have proved you deserve to be in this competition (WTF, I am not hearing what they are tonight????) |
Ariasmum | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:37 pm     Tamyra is so beautiful. I thought the second song (whatever it was) suited her much better. I thought Nikki's 2nd was better too but I still don't think she's IDOL material. The judges are really praising her tonight! |
Ariasmum | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:38 pm     It must sound better LIVE than it does for us on tv! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:46 pm     Kelly singing ~Surrender~ She sang an off note, but the crowd is going wild, this girl can sing any type of song (as can Tamyra) I don't know this song but it is very, very powerful. Randy: sang the hell out of that Celine song Paula: touchdown Simon: you just put yourself up in the same league and Celine and Marya Carry. (Kelly has larengitis, she can hardly talk, Simon knew that) OK, now I know why the song was so powerful, a Celine song, thats what she does. |
Ariasmum | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:47 pm     Wow! Kelly has got such a strong voice! Did you notice how far away she had to hold the microphone? Yet afterward during the interview she could hardly talk. It is rather miraculous she could pull that off if she's been straining her vocal chords so much lately. Way to go Kelly! |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:53 pm     Justin singing ~A Michael Jackson song, from Thriller, they didn't say which one! (and I don't know) He's gyrating around the stage, interacting with the audience, his voice sounds strained. I didn't like it. Randy: didn't like it, just alright for me Paula: liked it (liked the gyrations) Simon: It wasn't great, a bad impersonation of Michael Jackson, Paula wants to get into it with Simon, this is good! Back and forth with them, can't get it all but barbs flying! |
Ketchuplover | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:56 pm     <high fives Simon> Go Kelly |
Webkitty | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:00 pm     Don't forget to vote in Puttergirls thread! Who do you think will get cut tomorrow? I thought the song choice for all of them were off tonight, they had TWO DECADES of music to choose from? Whatever!!!! |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:02 pm     Surrender gave me goosebumps. Every single one of them sounded like their voices were strained. You could hear it when they talked. They must have been working their butts off this past week. I have to say that of all the performances tonight I loved Kelly's rendition of Surrender the best. |
Ariasmum | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 07:08 pm     I agree about their song choices. I wonder how they pick these songs! Some of them no one's even heard before and when they do a more familiar one Simon criticizes them for a poor imitation or brands them kareoke! I DID think Justin moved around the stage well. I wonder if the judges bickering will effect his votes. |
