Car54 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:07 am     No way. Not yet. Unless he has police record and it leaks tonight. |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:11 am     LOL, Car! I have been waiting today to see what the Smoking Gun comes out with today and about who. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:11 am     Oh dear. That would be dreadful. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:12 am     Maybe Josh got called up? |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:12 am     Herm and Walker, I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that Clay will be in the bottom three. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:17 am     I really enjoyed last night's show. It was nice to see Simon in an upbeat mood. I enjoyed all of the performances to one extent or another, even Kim. C.'s! Sometimes it is nice to have a hearing loss because I am unable to zero in on the things that everyone else picks up! Ruben and Clay were my favorites. I liked Ricky as well. I was a just a tiny bit bored with Kim Locke, but I am not a fan of the song she did, although I did like her rendition better than Celine's!! Trenyce was probably my least favorite last night and she is usually in my top three or four, but she hit a couple of high notes that just hurt my ears. I like her though. I think she has a lot of verve. I'm sorry she has the past record because I think it will hurt her. No wait, I did enjoy Trenyce more than Carmen. I do think it is Carmen's time to go. But overall, I enjoyed the show and the performances a lot. And I love Lionel Richie! |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:22 am     BTW, I don't know why I feel the need to explain this right now, but I do. I have no hearing in my left ear. I have 20% in my right. That is a significant enough loss to classify me as "deaf" instead of "hard of hearing." BUT, with my hearing aid on, I get 80% in my right ear, which is enough for me to enjoy music, but not always enough for me to hear vibratos or warbles or pitchiness or other stuff like that. I know that no one has said anything, but I always kind of wonder if people are thinking, "What does she know, she can't hear!" LOL!

Hermione69 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:25 am     "Herm and Walker, I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that Clay will be in the bottom three."
I don't think so either, Grooch, but it is always nice to hear someone else weigh in on that because I am just a wee bit biased, you know! Again, I really did enjoy last night's show. I think we have much more talent this year than we did last year. |
Car54 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:28 am     I keep forgetting to factor in the bottom 3 votes for last time. I wonder how that will play out. Still think it will be Trenyce, she looks like she knows it is coming, like Julia did. |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 09:31 am     Car, I forgot about that part! I'm glad I didn't vote in the I can sing thread, yet. Thanks! (I think Treynce is going to go, also.) |
Denecee | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 10:28 am     Hermi, thanks for posting that info about your hearing. I was curious but was afraid to ask, I know silly me. I loved tonight's show. I am having a hard time with the bottom three because I think they all sang very well. |
Sierra1531 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 10:40 am     OK, who is going to win? It's gotta be between Clay and Ruben. They're both terrific. |
Maris | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 10:59 am     I am all for Ruben. I have to agree with Simon, Clay is sounding more and more like a vegas act to me. I cant see him selling a million copies of anything, but Ruben, he will go platinum. |
Wargod | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:01 am     Clay is still my favorite, but I do think Ruben is going to take this. He was hot last night! Totally awesome, loved it. |
Grooch | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:03 am     Maris, I think in a way it will be better for either of them to come in second place in the long run. They will both get a recording contract whether they win or lose, and they will have more freedom to do what they want. I think Clay would be happier singing Christian music, than being a pop idol. And if he does, he probably would sell a million copies of that. |
Texannie | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:09 am     Thanks Herm for explaining that. I too have wondered but felt hesitant to ask. |
Car54 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:16 am     Grooch, I was thinking the same thing...Clay is a natural for musical theatre or Christian music. I could see him as the young male lead in a bunch of musicals (he is gonna have to learn to dance tho.) He seems like a smart young man tho...two weeks in a row, he has had feedback about being versatile and mixing things up. He took their advice about his image, I am sure he is working on ideas for singing different types of songs to show what he is capable of. Ruben is ready to record today, and his change of image shows he can get the look going. I would not change a thing about him except maybe if he could move a bit more. |
Bandit | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:32 am     Quote:I like Carmen! I think she is just a doll and I thought she did the song really really well. Their were spots where she sounded exactly like Debra Harry.
Abby, I luv ya, but I think we must have seen 2 completely different shows! Imo, she was so flat and so off key! Simon said it best-absolutely dreadful. |
Walker | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:03 pm     i have to agree with bandit..but carmen is a cutie pie..i noticed that she hasn't been wearing as much make up either. |
Ladytex | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:07 pm     Grooch, I was thinking the same way. That they might have more/better opportunities if they didn't win and have to take the winner's contract. Seems that they would have more flexibility (sp?) if they negotiated their own contracts and engagements. |
Realfan | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:37 pm     Well, that was a pretty good show last night. I enjoyed Clay's performance, and yes, it was a perfect song for him. So was Josh's--right on. Kim C. made me cringe, but though I haven't been her supporter, I really feel for the fact she was DOING what Paula advised her to do--push and challenge herself--and then got dissed for it. That's sucky! Kim L. was good, Trenyce was enjoyable, Ricky was OK. Carmen? My son said it sounded like she was speaking the words then adding a little vibrato. Ugh! That was miserable. But she's a cutie. As for Reuben, I'm just not getting the overwhelming love here. He's a good singer, but I wouldn't buy one of his records, I don't think. He just doesn't do it for me. Maybe I'm resisting because I don't like to be told week after week who should win the danged competition by a particular judge whom I normally like--i.e. SIMON! I'm, as always, a Clay Girl. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:39 pm     I guess I'm not seeing why Clay would be "happier" singing Christian music....??? |
Snee | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:47 pm     i want reuben's c.d.! |
Car54 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:48 pm     I think Simon is moody. He told Clay he was the one to beat in the beginning, he told Carmen she was the most commercial, now it is Ruben. Whatever mood he is in, that is who he likes. It will probably change again....for 2 weeks he totally hated Josh, last night he liked him. |
Curious1 | Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 12:51 pm     I agree that overall there seems to be more talent this year than last year. I also think that all of the remaining 8 will get some sort of record deal/contract. They all seem to fit a certain genre that may not be perfect for American Idol. For instance: Clay: if he doesn't win I agree that Modern Christian music would be a great fit for him (sort of like Jars of Clay really hit it big in that area) Ruben: if he doesn't win (actually I think coming in second would work out better for him) he could do most anything he wants but has said he loves gospel music and I think something more along that line is a better fit than POP. Josh: he will get offers for the country gig, he is good at country and if nothing else will appeal to the young people in their 20's who love country and believe me there's alot of those people out there. Carmen: she will get offers for sure, sort of the Mandy Moore type if she can get some coaching. Kim C: she may not be versatile enough to be a stand alone star such as American Idol, I see her more as singer in a girl group (pop version of the dixie chicks) Kim L: I don't think she will win, but she will get offers to develop her into an image that will fit that company's profile whatever that may be. Ricky: I see him as more the christian music type too, more along the lines of the traditional stuff Treynce: she will fill the diva slot in someone's mind and will get offers to develop on that image (although I'm not sure she will pull it off in the long run). |
