Babyruth | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:12 pm     heh heh |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:13 pm     LOL @ you guys! Gosh, I'm still not in bed, am I? Going.... Going.... Gone!!!! |
Abby7 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:14 pm     Well, I hope it's her. I'll tell you why. There were many people here performing and some were very talented, but most were somewhat talented...then there were about 4 that were just horrid. When we heard this girl we were impressed. compared to the rest even though she wasn't the best...she handled herself very well with the technical difficuties. We wouldn't have known so much about her...just that there were some sound diffucties...she handled so well and professionally. she told us how she recently moved here and loved her job working at the office here. she was really a nice person |
Babyruth | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:22 pm     Cool! Well, please tell us if it's her! |
Abby7 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:30 pm     Babyruth: My husband just got home...we had the show on but I was talking to him about some "important stuff that happened today". anyway, I finally got around to telling him about the fever girl....he explained to me that the people are from NY but maybe they will move to Los Angeles. So now I feel really stupid...I didn't realize these people weren't from "anywhere". Oh well. I haven now learned to keep my mouth shut until I know I am completely right, which means my lips are sealed forever......but Thank God I can still type....or until my computer freezes. duh. i feel so stupid. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:35 pm     forgot to humiliate myself more by telling Ryn that this girl I'm talking about is not 19 ( I very highly doubt even in my state). Okay, I think I have humiliated myself on this thread tonight by talking about the "Fever Girl"....I leave walking slowly, hanging myself in shame.....good-bye. |
Ryn | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Abby - I gave her name and local up above ;) Katherine Edminson 19 from Austin Tx. |
Babyruth | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:47 pm     (((((Abby)))))) no shame in guessing wrong. Love ya.  |
Abby7 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 08:47 pm     Yeah, Ryn...I'm still here and saw that after the fact. I wish I had noticed your post before I went on and on (even more than before)...the girl I'm thinking about didn't look 19 to me ( I just asked my husband..."did that girl look 19?...he says, yeah, I guess so"). Anyway, I thought she looked in her 20's and (because we heard her speak) she sounded more mature than 19, especially the way she handled the sound difficuties. She was so cool about it (not like a 19 year old would handle it). Anyway, it hasn't happened lately, but have any of you seen past Jay Leno episodes where he goes around to "an apartment place" and knocks on people's doors asking them questions and "asks them" to perform? Well, that's the same place I'm talking about where I live now. I think the last time I saw it on Jay Leno was about 3 years ago...I've only lived here for a year (a place we are staying while our stuff is in storage and waiting to buy a home). I know he goes to Univeral, Melorose and a retirement home in the area...but he used to come here. I haven't watched him regularly for about a year...so I don't know if he still does interviews here...but I don't think so. But, if any of you remember those old interviews of few years back...that happened here at these apartments. NBC...where they tape Jay Leno...is just blocks away...that's why. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 09:25 pm     ok. just to dig myself even deeper..i just saw the girl performing "fever"...she is not the girl. "My girl" was at least 5 years oldder...and IMO sang much better than that girl. Ahem (getting myself together)..I will see you all next week..or whenever the next AI is, but I will only say Hi and Bye. lol |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 04:04 am     Abby, don't be embarrassed! Speculation and possibility are all part of the fun!

Webkitty | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:09 am     I loved the show last night! It was just as good as the first season. Those twins were awesome, but if they have to be broken up in the next round, it doesn't look good for them. They seem to really want to stay together, unrealistic for this competition. I wasn't all that impressed with the "fever" girl. I think the young 17 year old girl with the pretty blue eyes and long straight hair will have a real shot. (the one that they told not to try for the Christina Augullra look, to stay "sweet") The stalker guy gave me the creeps. I am very satisfied today and can't wait for the second half tonight  |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:13 am     Yep, that was a great show last nite. I loved reading this thread through this morning. What a buncha goofies, luv it. I can't wait to see what popped up when AI auditions came to Detroit. |
Lizadee | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:22 am     I told my DH If I ever heard anyone sing or say that song "Having My Baby" I would choke them I just had a baby 18 mo.ago and every time my DH called me at work he would sing this damn song and he thought it was so cute and funny I coulda puked |
Webkitty | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 07:31 am     Yes, this thread was fun to read though. I wish I still had the setup to watch and post at the same time. Sometimes, I have the energy to run from room to room to post during commercials, but I just wasn't up to it last night. Maybe tonight It does add to the enjoyment of the show. Note: it looks like tonight they find a real gem, once again, can't wait! I love to see these kids develop as the season goes on. Tamyra really blossomed last season. It was fun to see her "look" get polished as time went on. |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 09:30 am     I LOVED IT!!!!! I was laughing my butt off, but I have one complaint, and one complaint only... I am SOOOOOO tired of vocal gymnastics. As most of you know, I am a singer, and have been performing and competing since the age of 5 - so 23 or so years ago. Now, I was classically trained, and have a very clear, very natural voice, that IMO sounds better just singing, not going all over the map to make a note sound like everyone else out there. My idol is and always will be Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell. Now, these two ladies refrain from the vocal gymnastics. I nearly SCREAMED when that little girl got up to sing Angel by Sarah in Miami and turned it into a gymnastics show... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Okay, rant over, but I loved it nevertheless!!! I only wish that I had a computer at home to share the show with you all, but my bf won't get us one yet... I will keep bugging him though!!! See you tomorrow for AI2 the second night! |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:07 am     Djgirl, YES! I'm right there with ya. Everything in moderation. Not every long note needs to be an example of one's voice control (which most of 'em don't have anyway). So glad I'm not the only one. |
Conejo | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:23 am     When they showed what last years ten finalists were up to didn't they leave out a few of them? I don't remember seeing anything on Jim or that bulldog faced guy (EJ, DJ or one of the J's). Is it because they were soooo bad that they really haven't had any success after the show and tour? |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:27 am     Agreed DJ. They are under the impression it shows them off to be good. I see it as a flourish to cover something. Loved this show too and I'm looking forward to tonight. 3 good shows in one night is not good though! The little girl that sang Fever won't make it far. I don't think she can project and that won't cut it mike or no. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:29 am     Conejo, they left out Jim and EJay Day. No explanation at all. Who knows? Maybe they did not want to be a part of it. Weren't they the first two voted off in the final ten? |
Conejo | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:34 am     I think Jim was one of the first to go (he couldn't sing worth a sh!t and shouldn't have gotten that far IMO). Ejay was called in as a replacement for that one guy that lied about his age (I think). I thought Ejay had a pretty good voice, but was very hard on the eyes which would not make for good "Idol" material. |
Wink | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:53 am     I am cranky today and would not bother mentioning this if I weren't but I believe the original "Fever" was sung by Peggy Lee NOT Doris Day. Maybe I'm mistaken but didn't Simon say it was sung by Doris Day? Peggy was a sexy, sultry singer and Doris (How Much is that Doggie in the Window) was Miss Goody Two-Shoes. So was Simon saying this girl was like Doris Day or was he saying she sang the song as well as Doris who never did sing it in the first place, or do I need to just go take a nap and not let this bug me? |
Grooch | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:56 am     I'm enjoying your rant, Wink. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, January 22, 2003 - 10:58 am     I'm not sure, Wink, but I took it more that her diction and sound were akin to Doris Day - who was known for having the most perfect diction of any singer who ever recorded. I thought he was saying she had sort of a Doris Day feel (but that's my demented recollection, not to be mistaken for what really happened) |
