Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:53 pm     He got raves from all of them. Wow. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Joshua, Corey, Ashley that order for my money. |
Crossfire | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:54 pm     I wish they had a whole band for backup. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:55 pm     I just thought of this-- if Corey and Josh make it through, that will be 5 men. Clay may not get the wildcard if they are trying to keep in even among the genders. Oh crud. |
Crossfire | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:56 pm     I guess no one is at risk of eating hats or socks now. No saving on the groceries this week. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:57 pm     LOL - k, wiggle your thing over to HT, Crossfire - I'll be waiting for a laugh (or a cry it's never anything in between) |
Car54 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:57 pm     Good boy, no hat!...2 pts just for that. Well I just totally disagree about Corey...he missed several notes and I think he was singing desperate...if that is the emotion they want...then he got it. I would have to vote Josh and either Corey or Chip...this group was really not much to pick from. |
Cassie | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:58 pm     Corey sounded screechy to me. I thought the first guy was better. Paula is soo over the top! |
Wink | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:59 pm     Car I agree. On the recap at the end he was certainly flat. I want to say Josh and Chip as well but I think Corey's personality will carry him thru. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:00 pm     How did Paula's hair look tonight? I chose her as having the worst hair tonight on mw. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:01 pm     Yeah, I didn't get why they stood up for Corey. He wasn't worth a standing ovation, I didn't think. Ah well. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:02 pm     Maybe they all had leg cramps from the tension of the first bad singers? |
Car54 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:03 pm     Sorry, Ashley looked fabulous, but she sang like Minnie Mouse. Nope Nope Nope. She better have a big crowd at home voting for her. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:04 pm     Well, Minnie does live in the same county |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:07 pm     Could be, Seamonkey, LOL! |
Jasonfan | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:28 pm     Okay, am I completely out of it? What is it so many seem to see in Corey? Granted, he seems like a nice, genuine guy, but talent wise??? Having said that, who gets the second spot (assuming Joshua gets the first)? I'd vote for Ashley just because of her graciousness in the face of some tough comments. I didn't watch this early process last year. Were the contestants this rude? Wow. Don't they realize that when they audition, they are asking for a job? Grow up! I thought Simon was a bit easier on them tonight, for the most part, yet he was still dealt with rudely. I miss Kelly and Justin and Tamyra. Even Nikki wasn't rude, right? |
Pamy | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:43 pm     Ashley goes to school with my friend's daughter, it sounds like she didn't do so well Sea..she goes to Mater Dei |
Pamy | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 06:47 pm     Sea..I just read up in the thread, I guess you all ready knew that! Let's all vote for her anyway, then I can pump my friend for behind the scenes info! |
Texannie | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 07:18 pm     I do not like this trend where the contestants snap back! It's uncomfortable to watch the judges critisize them, but it's really pathetic to see the contestants try to fight back (IMHO). And the girl who really went off on Randy "do you know who I am???" couldn't even sing! She was so offkey. Did it seem like everyone was singing too high tonite? Like they needed to bring the key down just a little? |
Ladytex | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 07:26 pm     I wasn't really impressed tonight either, but it was better than last week. I cannot stand the talking back, it is very unbecoming. |
Emt911 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 07:34 pm     Somewhere I read that the producers told the contestants to smart back to Simon. Who posted that earlier? Maybe they need the excitement added or something, but to me, it just looks disrespectful. I have a hard enough time with what Simon says sometimes, and I just cringe when the kids dig their holes deeper and deeper! |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:24 pm     The talking back with the divaesque attitudes really grates on my last nerve. Juanita is the one who in the first auditions when told her group didn't make it to the final 32 had some kind of apopletic fit that caused her to throw herself prostrate and spasming with grief. She was sooooo over the top even the "big pink furry hat girl" standing next to her looked normal by comparison. Then tonight she sings horribly and acts like an incredible brat. Ack. When Sylvia was singing (first singer of the night) I turned to my daughter and said that there is something off with her pronunciation. She didn't enuniciate her words and the ones she accentuated were pronounced weirdly. Then Randy said the exact same thing. I also thought Chip's arrangement of the song he sang was off. It didn't flow and seemed a little choppy. I liked Joshua...I LOVED his attitude. I wish Ashley had performed better...she is beautiful and gracious. Nasheka..meh. Corey: I don't like him and didn't want to like his voice but he really was one of the better ones tonight. I liked Patrick and thought he didn't do as badly as Simon said he did. I don't think Simon likes Patrick's image and therefore couldn't concede that Patrick did belong on that stage. (Goddessatlaw...I think what you are seeing as gang signs are actually rock-n-roll hand signs that means I love you. Of course, I could be wrong.) That said...I'm still hating the intrusivness of the families in the red room. Yuck, yuck, yuck. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:27 pm     I agree Texannie that several of the girls seemed to be singing too high for their voice: Sylvia, Tasheka(sp?), and Ashley. The smarting back is really getting on my nerves. They don't even listen to the criticism to try and learn anything from it, that one girl was just cutting off Simon and didn't seem to notice that both Paula and Jackson had not given her praise. They're looking like spoiled brats. Ashley gets bonus points for respecting the judges and taking the harsh criticism like someone much older than she is. I'm not a Corey fan but I think he did good tonight. Anyone who can sing a Steve Perry song can't be all bad. I don't think it matters that we're probably going to have more guys in the final 10. We still get to vote on the wildcards and can vote through Clay. However I suppose the judges could put a girl through to try and balance it out some. We just have to get our fingers busying calling for Clay next week. I can't see the judges keeping Clay out of the wildcard competition. All the people who finished 3rd should be included. |
Muse | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:29 pm     I watched tonight's episode, then went back and watched a tape of last week's (since the friend I watched it with missed last week). And I wouldn't have said it before re-watching group three (since I remembered them as being unremarkable), but now - I seriously think last week was better than this week. Not that that's saying a whole lot. It's depressing, really. He hit a sour note or two, but overall I liked Josh. I really didn't care for anyone else. I thought the judges were overly generous with their praise for Corey to compensate for the public backlash against him. He was better than he was in previous rounds, but I still thought Chip (as well as Jordan and George from last week) were better than him. And since I'm pretty sure two guys will be going on from this round, I'm very concerned about Clay's chances. |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:33 pm     Brenda, unless they are doing things differently than in the first season the judges pick the wild cards, not the public. |
