Plus, I think whatever they have thrown at Ruben, he's made it his own. Clay hasn't done that the last couple of performances (and he gets points off from me for whining about not being liked by every judge...).

So tonite is still an elimination night?? Did they say what they would do about having 1 less contestant? I looked up the thread and didn't see the answer

prisoner i did'nt see it as whining and it probably would tick me off too hearing simon praise me one week and put me down the next..simon is a crazy man.

Oh, and Rickey in the 'fro wig was priceless!

Other than that, not much to comment on. Loved Ruben's performance, disliked Josh's (wonder if he did that bad a purpose?), was surprised at Carmen's, disappointed in Clay's (and his post-interview attitude -- honey, not everyone out here thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread either. I wish they all would take a lesson from Kim C. "I'll keep my comments to myself.")

Prisoner, Clay ended by saying he respects or listens to (can't remember the exact wording) Simon because Simon knows what he is talking about. Can you explain to me how that is either whining or having an "I'm the greatest thing sinvce sliced bread attitude"? Honestly, I'm a little tired of Ruben fans feeling like they have to pick Clay apart, and admittedly, vice versa. They are both great singers. It all comes down to personal preference.

This board is getting too snarky for me. I have enough stress in my personal life. I come here to have fun. I am not having fun anymore.

Simon is honestly critical of performances. The performance Clay gave the week Simon said he was the one to beat was superb. The two since then have been less so, and not all that special to me. I hope Simon's praise didn't go to Clay's head so he thought this competition was his to lose.

Sorry, Herm, I saw an unpleasant attitude there, and it has nothing to do with being a "Ruben fan." It seemed to me that Clay thought that if one judge likes his performance then they all should -- or if Simon liked his performance one week, he should like them every week. That seems very unrealistic of me, and I got the impression that Clay thought if one judge liked him then they all should.

simon is not always honest..and he should stop building people up just to knock them down.

01 - Ricky
02 - Carmen
03 - Kim Caldwell
04 - Clay
05 - Trenyce
06 - Reuben
07 - Kimberly Locke
08 - Joshua


I agree Prisoner, I didn't like Clay's attitude either. What is he talking about that Simon is so critical while Paula and Randy are so nice? Did he even watch the show last year? Until tonight, Simon is the ONLY one who makes constructive comments. Clay just came across to me as a big whiner.

I think almost everyone was a bit off tonight. All the hoopla and last minute press had to be stressful. Simon is probably cranky that his precious competition is being besmirched, these kids all lived together.

To be honest, I think Ryan did a great job of holding them all together tonight. There were a number of awkward moments that he got them through pretty gracefully. He drove me nuts on the shows I saw last season, but I like him a lot now.

I loved Ruben, Kim C and Trenyce best. Least were Josh, Kim C and Carmen for me.

Clay...nothing bad, but nothing good. This is two blah weeks in a row. I wonder if he is homesick or something, he seems like he is not as into it for some reason. Did they say what style they are singing next? Maybe it will be better for him next week.


I loved the guest judge. He was the best they have had. Very respectful and helpful. Nice guy.

Good point about Ryan, Car, but I don't think Simon's worried about his competition, I just don't think he's enjoyed the genres last week or this week -- he seems bored.

(But Simon is my age, and I can so picture him in a disco 20+ years ago...he just doens't want to admit owning a shiny baseball jacket..that he wore with the sleeves pushed up.)

Really, now, we can make comments about the show without digging at each other, can't we? That's not what these forums are about.

I think this is all kind of inconvenient for the whole production...first that Jaered guy, then Frenchie, then the Josh/marines stuff, then Corey. Makes it hard to focus on the show itself.

I guess any press is good press for them.

I remember a picture of Randy when he had hair like that wig Rickey wore.

Pamy, I'm just in a funk. I have been for a week now. Pay no attention to me. Scroll right past my posts. I have nothing worthy to say, LOL. But thanks for the hug, you are a real sweetheart.

LOL Prisoner! I am old enough to remember shiny baseball jackets with sleeves pushed up too!
Kim Caulwell's upper arm bracelet brought back memories too. My arms used to be thin enough to wear those, and I have to admit, I did a few times, ah, those were the days.

CAr, love that word "besmirched"

The thing to remember with this show is, have fun with it and try not to get worked up if everyone doesn't have the exact same viewpoint. Afterall, I was probably the only fan Corey had on this board, but, hey, he's gone. I enjoyed the show tonight a lot

Ok, back to 24, Jack just....oops, don't want to spoil it for the west coast!!
