Grooch | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:18 pm     Bettis 1-866-4365706. Vote for Bettis!!!!!!!!!!! |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:19 pm     I'm supposed to vote for DJGirl. Wonder what time zone she is in. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:25 pm     If its the same as last year, your 100 calls will count as 100 votes. There was a lot of controversy over it last year though. There were alot of complaints that teeny boppers were swaying the votes by speed dialing in their favorites. So they may have changed it. |
Ladytex | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:41 pm     Car, tomorrows show is only 30 minutes and just reveals the top two from tonight. Next week will be the next 8, and so on until all 32 have performed. Then the 8 remaining, and perhaps two wild cards will perform with the performer getting the least amount of votes leaving. Hope that helps and not confused you more. |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:41 pm     Well, I refuse to vote for anyone without a last name, so that "elimidates" Meosha, Trenyce and Bettis. Charles was the best male (and somebody needs to tell the piano player to TONE IT DOWN!), but is that enough to get him into the finals? I liked Kimberly and Julia, but refuse to vote for both of them so this forced 'catfight' storyline can finally end. My votes: Charles and Patrick's Dad... I mean Charles and Julia. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Still checking for DJGirl to post so I can vote for her. Guess she couldn't get that laptop. |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 06:59 pm     Can we vote in Canada? |
Kady | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:00 pm     Well it was hard for me to decide. No one stood out to be my future favorite. Last year I loved Tamyra and Kelly right off the bat. My favorites of this group is Kimberly, Trenyce, Charles and Julia. I ended up calling in 2 votes a piece for Kimberly and Julia. The only reason being....I liked the songs they sang. |
Wink | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:06 pm     Has anyone else here ever heard that song that Bettis performed tonite? Is it a real song? I would rather stick a hot poker up my nose than listen to that ever again. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:09 pm     Llkoolaid, I don't think so. Unless the rules changed from last year. |
Muse | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:15 pm     No one was terribly impressive tonight, IMO. Those who winded up in this group are very lucky - not a whole lot of competition there. I mean, no one was terrible. But I didn't think anyone was a stand-out either. I only voted for Charles. Kimberly: Didn't really *sing*, more talked/shouted. Patrick: Occasionally sounded like a woman. I was okay with the suit, though. JD: The judges are always too generous with their praise for him, IMO. He's just okay. Good-looking kid, but his voice is so-so. Trenyce: I agree with Simon...good voice, poor song choice. I don't like how she changed her name. Meosha: I thought she had a nice-sounding voice, but it's very limited. She had zero range and no vocal power. Bettis: Uh, he didn't pick a song that would give him a chance to show off his voice whatsoever. But I never thought he was that great to begin with, so whatever. He's also waaay too greasy. Charles: Pleasant voice. I liked his personality. Julia: Good song choice. I thought she looked terrible, but she had decent stage presence. I really don't think she's one of the best singers in the competition, however. I don't think Bettis, Meosha, or Patrick really have any shot of moving on. I think Julia will wind up with the most votes...and I'm not so sure about the other person. I'm guessing it'll be Kimberly, but Trenyce or Charles might sneak in there. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:19 pm     When I think about the demographics of the voting population, it wouldn't surprise me for JD to go through. Before tonight's show from the auditions and physical appearance alone, I would have picked him and Kimberly. So many people here are picking Kimberly. What a shock if she doesn't go through! I have trouble believing she and Julia both will go through because I think many people probably took sides after Fox played up their spat. The votes may split. If that happens, actually, neither of them may advance this round. Just speculating... Some of last year's final 10 totally surprised us, so anything could happen. I've just about giving up on DJ. Maybe next week if she can get that laptop. |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:22 pm     on the wild card issue.... This week and the next 3 weeks have the 4 groups of 8, top 2 vote getters go on to the next round. After group 4, they have a wildcard week. One person gets picked by the audience, one by the judges. You then have your final 10 people. Then it reverts to the normal format of low one gets eliminated every week rule. |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 07:29 pm     I've never understood that Canadian rule thing.. It just doesn't seem fair. I'd be willing to take on a voteless Canadian friend if need be.. let me know. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:02 pm     Kimberley was GOOD.. and she didn't shout the song near as much as Melissa does.. To be seen.. what I do.' Patrick.. sheesh.. all night from the above I was thinking of the other Patrick (rock n ROLL) -- hmmmm not bad I like the tie. Goodness, a duster? eh.. |
Maris | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:04 pm     I didnt like Kimberly last week but she seemed to be the best performer tonight. I didn't vote though because nobody struck me as being "all that" |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:25 pm     JD isn't doin' it for me.. but I'm sure the teenboppers will eat him up. Simon's right.. just ok. Maris.. I agree, so far.. Trenyce.. grrrrr. eh but the judges equate grr to energy? (Ryan is much better (still not stellar) alone.. and it is much better for the show, too.. keeping it about the singers instead of riffing off the other doofus. Meosha.. stupid hat.. hats.. eh Bettis.. bad hair.. at least he lost the hat.. bad song, |
Mygetaway | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:29 pm     Has anyone gotten through? I was going to vote for Patrick.. just cuz.. but the phones been busy the whole time. (I did busy redial too) Then they only give you 2 hours after the show to get through? I think I'll stick to just watching.. |
Kady | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:29 pm     I will also take on a Canadian friend. Just leave me a note in my folder next week and I'll call in some votes for you. |
Jbean | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:30 pm     wink, roflmao about bettis and his song. the song is actually real. boyz II men originally sang it. it is called "thank you", and it didn't sound like that when they sang it. you should try to listen to their version. it is quite good. it is on the same cd as "down on bended knee" and "i'll make love to you". I didn't really think anyone stood out either. I liked trenyce and julia the best. julia had some strange facial expressions, though. I swear i have never heard the song that charles sang or the one jd sang. as of yet, there is no one that i am really rooting for. like i knew from the first that kelly was awesome. was kind of funny that simon pointed out the last person they said they didn't remember was kelly clarkson. lol |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:42 pm     Charles, oh no no no.. bad bad hats.. hats hats.. too bad, he could be cute. Voice isn't bad. wow, Simon liked him!!! Julia - new look, not good altho better to have hair out of eyes. Sings ok, don't like her expressions. I'm with Randy. Notice the other singers didn't run and hug her, hmm. Well, not sure I'm going to rush out and vote.. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 08:47 pm     That Doofus Evan is there.. he must have NO life at all, just goes from show to show to show.. sad. |
Northstar | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 09:28 pm     Sea lol, I couldn't believe he showed up. And wearing another ill fitting sweater. Go tickle some feet Even. Well, I wasn't so impressed with the group either. I did like what Charles did with the song, but I don't like the hats either. Julie did nothing for me tonight, nor did her family. While Kimberly has the look, I'm not convinced her voice is going to carry her against some of the others. I voted for JD and Charles. I think JD has more range than the others, even though I didn't really like his song selection. I'm just holding out for Frenchie and the other Kim. |
Shortnsweet | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 09:42 pm     Either they have more lines open this year or the person I'm voting for isn't very popular. I live on the west coast and last year I couldn't get through to vote until almost 11:00. I've been getting through easily tonight. |
Hummingbird | Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 10:09 pm     The guy in the weird black suit with the polka dot tie has a beautiful voice but if you couldn't see him you would think you were hearing a woman singing. (Oh well, guess you could say that about Barry Gibb too.) I didn't care for Bettis' song or performance. What on earth was he thinking picking that! Kimberly did a good job. Doubt that the winner is among this group. Julia should have picked a different song. Nobody but Dusty Springfield does that one well. Nothing memorable about anyone else. |
