I've liked and voted for Ricky from the very beginning.

Are we only supposed to vote on that night's performance? I've been basing my votes on overall performance first, who I like second, and then probably that night's performance last. I'm also voting for personality along with talent, or I should say future talent opportunity. Does that make sense?

Someone like Kim C has talent, but she's already had a lot of opportunity, and it hasn't gotten her where she wants to be. Even with a team of "people" working with her, I don't think she has room to grow much.

Kim L on the other hand has a good voice, and I think she can learn a lot, and has room to "grow."

Rickey has a nice voice. He has a great personality. He's not 100% idol material, but I think he's better, and has more opportunity to grow than some of the others. I just want him to go a few more rounds.

To tell you the truth, I don't know who I want to win anymore.

I have to agree with you, Wargod. If you don't like someones performance, then fine, say so, but to make nasty comments about the looks that God gave them or to say that they are "mentally challenged" is totally uncalled for. Some of the comments made here have made this board a lot less fun than it used to be.

See, all the really insightful people understand the Rickey vibe.
Mygetaway, your approach is a lot like mine. This is not a mathmatic thing.

Ladytex- you just said something I have been wanting to say, but you said it nicely. Thanks.

Gosh I'm tired of so many people here bashing Ricky, just because he has a high voice. That does NOT mean he doesn't have any talent, it means you're not partial to his style. He sings songs that suit his voice and he does exceptionally well; and as for this week's performance, he was right on with the EW&F song. Just because YOU don't like high voices, is the rest of America supposed to agree with you, and they're stupid if they don't?!?!? I don't think so.

Funny, Fruitbat. There was a baby girl born in our hospital whose momma named her Shuantaquinita LaFontenay. Imagine trying to learn to spell that in kindergarten when the kid at the next desk is learning to write "Amy".

I don't know Brenda, somehow it seems risky to vote for someone you don't want to win. Maybe I'm not getting it. What if somebody beats somebody else out by a couple of votes and you threw a couple of votes that guys way? Did anybody major in statistics? What about this vote cancelling theory?

ooops wrong thread.

I like Ricky!
Hummingbird, 15 million people voted this week, I don't think a stray vote here or there is going to make a difference, but I could be wrong!

Unless she is really, really horrible, I am going to throw all my votes to Carmen next week. She is in real danger of going, and I don't want to see her leave the competiton yet. She is improving every week, and I want to see the journey. I think it would be a shame for her to get cut at this point.
Its just my opinon, but I don't think she deserved to be in the bottom three.

i happen to agree with you hummingbird..maybe im missing something too but why on earth would anyone vote for someone whom they did'nt want to win?

Thursday, April 03, 2003 - 02:32 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Maybe this is how we should do the 2004 presidential election. This seems way more fun.

Webkitty, I agree, Carmen and Kim both gave good performances this week...
I think Josh is pretty much teflon because of the patriotism vote right now. If he keeps giving iffy performances that may change.

I still think Carmen is morphing into a young blond Cher. She has that low throaty voice and those lips. She didn't yodel as much last night.
She looked beautiful...the hair was lovely.

Bandit, I choose to respectfully disagree with you. I have never asked "the rest of America" to agree with me over Ricky. I have never called anyone "stupid if they don't." You like Ricky. That's great. I simply don't. I don't like his Upper Register. I don't like his Afro wig. I don't like his I'll-always-wear-yellow-cuz-Pawla-said-I-look-good.

Just because my opinion of him is negative doesn't make it any less or more important than yours. It's just that - an OPINION.

I'm still hoping he and his upper register will be gone next week. And I'm not asking you to agree with me.

Isn't this supposed to be a family show? The sexual inneundo jokes, what looked like Ryan giving Simon the finger behind his other hand. I find Ryan's jokes inappropriate for the age bracket that watches this show. I'm no prude by any means but with so many children in the audience and watching at home, this lame attempt at humor disgusts me.

A couple of weeks ago, I voted for everyone but Corey and Charles because I wanted them gone.. Did it make sense or work, who knows? LOL

Hummingbird, If I give each contestant one vote because I dial their line to when if I get through, they effectively all cancel each other out. (I don't do this always because I'm too busy watching 24...) For example Clay would get 20 votes, Carmen would get 10, the rest would get just one. My one stray vote doesn't matter because they ones I want to stay got 10 or 20 times that.

I don't like Ricky's singing, but the bashing of him has hit below the belt.

Nathalia -- I'm sure the innuendo flies over the heads of many of the teens. I remember watching Match Game as a kid and not getting all the innuendo. I frankly like the little bit of "adult" humor, even when it's in poor taste.

Beach, I appreciate everything you said-you are entitled to your opinion just as I and everyone else on this board is. I also was not directing my comments directly at you, it was a generalization for the "Ricky bashers" on the board that seem to think he has no place being in the position he has gotten to. He appeals to a lot of people, and although he is not my favorite, I do believe he deserves being where he is.

And I also resent the insinuation that my opinion is any more important than yours-I don't think that NOR did I SAY THAT!

Please, Beach, don't think I was attacking you or your opinions personally, because I wasn't. And for what it's worth, I thought your comment about him wearing yellow because Paula likes it, was funny.

No hard feelings, k? (Gosh, I feel like the "Should Josh stay or should he go thread.)

No problem, Bandit! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, I agree - he has talent. It's just not the type of talent that appeals to me.

As for Brenda's comment about "hitting below the belt", I thought my comments were fair and not ugly in any way. But just a thought...if he has indeed suffered some shots "down there", maybe that's how he got his upper register?

Sorry...couldn't resist! :)

Hummingbird

If I really wanted somebody gone, I wouldn't throw any votes their way. It doesn't make sense to me.

Brenda1966

Friday, April 04, 2003 - 11:52 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Beach, LOL about below the belt contributing to the upper register. :) It wasn't your comment, but another's, that I thought was below the belt.

Hummingbird, I guess there's no other way to explain it. It doesn't matter if the person you want booted gets 100,000,000 votes as long as the others get just 1 more. You can look at it as the ones with the most votes get to stay.

I think that everyone should vote for the one they want to win, and not throw there vote to anyone else. I also think the Josh should go,
just because he is a Marine should not give him
the right to go on to the next week, he can't
sing.

Tabbyking

Friday, April 04, 2003 - 06:16 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
i don't believe josh is just there just because he is a marine. he sang really well up until the last (disco) song. (did i mention i HATED disco? shudder!)
they have all had a bad sang, some more than one, as far as i can tell! if he goes or stays, i don't think it's just because he's a marine.
i loved some of his songs, hated the disco. i hated trenyce's disco song, too. i hated carmen's country song. i hated rickey's disco song...
i agree about voting for the one you want to win.

Does anyone else have a problem with them having to sing differant types of music.

If they make it as a professional, it will be on what type of music best suits them.

Also why are they not given songs to sing. When they record for a label I think they will be told what to sing and how to sing it by their producer.I think we should be seeing how much they can grow with the help of a recording label.

Carmen and Josh are country, why are they not singing country every week, that is what they will be doing if they make it. Just like Clay and Rueben having different styles. They won't be country singers, why do they have to compete as country.

I don't know if I am making sense to anyone else but I just don't think that we are seeing their true potential. Big stars don't perform all the differant types of music, they just do what they do best, and that is what we buy their records for.

Kool, yes I hear you. I think the reason is to view their versitility. The judges really have no idea of their capeabilities nor do we.

Kool, I understand what you are saying, but that's a different show, not the premise of American Idol.

Am I the only one? or does anyone else think that
Reuben should change is shirt? It is enough
with the 205, lets see if he has any style. I
agree with Fruit we have to see what they are
made of.
