Llkoolaid | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:36 pm     Thank you Mygetaway, I hate that I can't vote. If I could I would support Kim, Clay and Rueben. I would be very happy to see any of those 3 win. I think they all have great talent and I change my favorite with them depending on how much I like the songs they sing. I think they will all make it. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:38 pm     I hope at least Trenyce's Tennesee fans will switch over to Kim who is also from Tennessee.. |
Walker | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:39 pm     thats the problem anyway..why is it that people don't just vote there favorite and stop it with all the sympathy votes and calling everybodies number. |
Tweety | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:39 pm     There are a couple of lessons from tonight's show. Josh benefited from the sentiment people feel about the efforts of the U.S. military who fought in Iraq - they want to show support, even though Josh obviously didn't fight. This is on top of the closeness of the military "family" who will support Josh regardless of his performance. The other message is for Ruben. All of the remaining contestants have grown better and improved as the show progressed. Ruben, while lovable as a teddy bear, has not changed one bit from the beginning (except for losing the 205 shirt). Yes he has a great voice, but so do the others. While I think Josh should have been eliminated in what is a tight field, I will not be sorry not to have to watch Trenyce's fingers tapping the microphone next week (such a simple irritating gesture, you'd think someone would have mentioned it to her earlier . . . ) |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:40 pm     <not just because he's the least talented of the bunch (IMO), but because he's getting a lot of nastiness directed his way now. Obviously it's not really his fault people are voting for him, but people will blame him anyway.> That is true, Muse, I think he was shocked that he didn't make bottom 2 and just a little embarassed. It is bad enough to hear the critism when you sing then to have the rest of the crap because you didn't get voted out. |
Maris | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:40 pm     I hate to say it folks, but I think Josh might just win this thing. It stinks for Clay, Ruben and Kim because they are better singers. Simon will just about crap his drawers if he has to make a cd with Josh. You know, it will be worth it just to watch Simon's face. |
Costacat | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:43 pm     Well, shoot! I guess my vote for Ruben didn't count much, did it! The first time I voted, too! I don't know what's up with Josh still being there. He doesn't belong here, he belongs on that Nashville show (every song he sang last night sounded country, not that there's anything wrong with that, but...). I sorta was hoping that the "Marine" influence would sorta peter out now that the war is more or less over. Maybe, though, seeing Ruben in the bottom two will be a wakeup call. And people will vote for the one they really want to win (think Ruben! <grin>). What would happen if Josh wins AI? He *does* have a "real" job and he *does* have a commitment to serve out the rest of his time. I think he's been given some leniency for this show, but there's a huge time commitment after the show (including touring and recording). I'd be willing to bet he doesn't get discharged early so he can be the next AI. I really wish there were some way to guarantee that each person gets only one vote. It's one thing to arrange for a whole community to vote; it's quite another thing for that whole community to vote numerous times. (I want Ruben and Kimberly to be in the final two, and I WANT RUBEN TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!) |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:43 pm     Maris if Josh wins this you can have all my points in the poll and in any further polls that TVCH ever takes part in. I am that sure that he is going, although I wouldn't bet on it for next week. American's may be sympathetic but I don't think they are stupid. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:44 pm     NO! Bad, Bad Maris!! (KIDDING) I really hope not, but I also wouldn't be surprised at this point. |
Maris | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:45 pm     Lol Ll, well lets just wait and see. I just had this flash watching this show tonight, OMG this guy is going to win this thing and he cant sing. But you know what, that would be pretty funny. |
Costacat | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:46 pm     LOL Tweety! That finger tapping thing about drove me nuts last night! I'd thought for sure last week that someone would've "mentioned" it to Trenyce. At any rate, I'm glad she's gone. She could (on occasion) sing pretty good, but mostly she just bugged me. Not sure why... maybe it's cause I hate it when someone pulls a "Mariah" (you know... just hitting a long high note for no particular reason). |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:49 pm     It would be funny and I think it would give a little credibility to what Babyruth says about the voting. Costacat, I thought Trenyce was a good singer, I just couldn't stand looking at her. She just didn't make me like her, but I have always said she was a good singer ever though I liked Keith better. |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:51 pm     The vote tonight was appalling, but I believe it was the true vote (no conspiracy theory here). This rah, rah America, vote for the marine is way out of hand. He's so out of his league here. Ruben was lackluster last night, but in no way deserved the bottom 2! He was nearly this year's Tamyra while Josh is proving to be this year's Nikki. Clean the wax out of your ears America! |
Tweety | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:51 pm     I agree with you Costacat about Trenyce holding the notes. I like your guy Ruben, I just want to see some change next week. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:54 pm     I don't think it's wax Brenda , I think it is CRAZY glue. |
Costacat | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:56 pm     Hey Tweety... how's about Josh and Clay in the final two next week, and Josh out? That change enuf fer ya? <snicker> (That might shock America, too, huh?) |
Denisec1989 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:58 pm     Well, all I have to say is that I'm SHOCKED!! My heart and jaw dropped when they announced Ruben's name. I love Ruben. I don't necessarily think he should be the one that wins, but he shouldn't go before Josh does. I told myself that if Ruben left I wouldn't finish watching the show. Did anyone else see Simon dancing with Randy?? Or were my eyes playing tricks on me? |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 07:59 pm     Almost time for me to watch this whole mess now. I did take a chill pill, and it hasn't helped yet.. That's pretty sad that a TV show is affecting me this way. I guess at this point the good thing is they all have about the same chances of getting a good lead/career out of this. Even if Josh does win, people will be looking the others up and they will do much better out there than he will (IMO) |
Rabbit | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:00 pm     I dont think Rueben's fans voted for anyone else. I think they just didnt vote. Voting multiple times is work. If fans think their contestant is safe many just don't bother. When your favorite contestant is in obvious jeopordy you make the effort to vote more often. That's why I was so sure Josh wouldn't go this week. Because of this wake-up call all the remaining contestant's fans will make the effort to vote next week I suspect. The real question is do we have enough restraints and tranquillizers to control Crazydog once he quits smashing his TV and gets to his keyboard? |
Texannie | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:00 pm     Why do you say that Maris? |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:01 pm     There was a sign for Corey out in the audience.. |
Costacat | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:01 pm     Good point, Mygetaway! I think some of 'em are gonna get contracts anyways, whether or not they go much further on the show. Show's on here (finally!). At least I know what to expect so I won't throw the remote at the TV, shatter the screen, and scare the heck outta the cats! |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:03 pm     I saw Simon and Randy dancing! Very cute. I guess this is a wake up call to tell us that no one is safe. I'll be phoning in 40 calls for Clay next week instead of just 20! |
Tweety | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:04 pm     Costacat, I was referring to a change in Ruben!!! Josh and Clay is O.K as long as Josh goes, not Clay. Then we would have the three best of the remaining four fairly duking it out. |
Costacat | Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 08:06 pm     OK, Tweety! I agree! Although I don't really like Clay, I'd like to see the three of 'em in the final three... Sorry I got your reference wrong! <grin> |
