Lyra | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 08:59 pm     Ok, I just caught the last few minutes -- why are they bringing back some contestants for the wild card that didn't even make it to the final 32? Doesn't that seem a bit unfair? Or was it because they didn't feel there were enough from the 32 worthy of a shot at the wild card? |
Hummingbird | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:06 pm     I noticed the slip, Seamonkey. I'll bet they gave him a good talking to! Seacrest is doing a better all-around job this year, though. |
Ryn | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:15 pm     I just thought they prediced the final 2 every time at that point. I didn't think of it as a slip. |
Ryn | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:16 pm     what about Patrick??? I think all the 3rd place people from each night should get another chance. |
Trisha1 | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:16 pm     It's great to see Corey made it. this young guy really has "star" quality and I think that special quality will take him a long way. He's the first one that I really sat up and took notice of! |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:17 pm     Patrick is out. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:18 pm     Trisha1, I would love to see someone tell me what there is about him. I don't mean to be rude. It's just that I loved so many in his group above him, yet he got the standing ovation. What is his magic? |
Ryn | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:18 pm     that sucks - I liked that he was different. Actually reminded me of whats his name from Surreal World - lol. |
Ryn | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:19 pm     Grooch - I didn't see it either - I didn't think he did that good a job last night and was surprised with the judges reaction. |
Trisha1 | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:22 pm     Grooch, I can only speak for myself--he has that special "something" that Sinatra had, also Michael jackson, Rod Stewart etc. It's very hard to explain, but I think the panel saw it and regardless of the hat it shines through. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 09:40 pm     Wow.. I don't see it either. Ryn.. yes they always predict the two who will go through but tonight Seacrest said "is this the first time you've agreed and got it right" like they all thought that Kimberly would make it thru the first group and she didn't.. and the "got it right".. I felt badly for Patrick.. he was third in the vote and they passed him over for not just ONE but TWO of the others in his group.. |
Grooch | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 03:32 am     Sea, I was thinking the same thing about Patrick for the same reasons, plus the fact that the groups were so bad that they went back and took people who didn't even make it to the final 32. Ouch! Trisha, lol! I never liked Sinatra or Rod Stewart. Michael is a different story. He may not be my cup of tea, but I do believe he is an amazingly talented artist and I understand people going crazy over him. Dang, I just don't see it in Corey. This morning I woke up with him singing his song in my head and I just wanted to stick a hot poker up my nose to get it out of my brain. His singing literally hurts my ears. I am very happy that Chip made it through and the girl (Sorry I can't remember her name. Nasheeka?) I thought they both had great voices that their performances will improve. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 04:20 am     I love Corey's voice and think he is beautiful. A Kerrigan scream (hysterical Seamonkey) for the hat however. I didn't think Patrick was special at all and was not surprized to seem him passed over. He looks 20 years older than he is. Not a good beard and hair style, waaaaaaaaay too thin to wear long. I am sorry Candace didn't make it. Just adorable and I loved her voice. Yea for Clay. What could the twist be? It must be something to do with Simon having more control. Maybe he has veto power over Americas vote for the last group. That seems anticlimatic. Could there only be a final 8? He offers them a deal? Change something he requests or walk? |
Webkitty | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 04:39 am     I am on the Corey bandwagon too. I love his voice, and I think he has an easy stage presence. Joshua has a strong voice, but he doesn't have star quality. I think its wonderful that he is ready to go off to defend our country on a moments notice, but for this compititon, he is not my first choice for the American Idol. Patrick didn't grab me at all. I completely agree with the judges decision to exersize their option to choose from any that auditioned. I don't see what is not fair about it. Actually, I think its more fair that some that fell through the cracks that shouldn't have, will now get a chance. We have been complaining about the caliber of the top 10 so far, lets see what fresh faces (and voices) we get next week. I have no clue what the twist will be, but I have faith it will be a good one, can't wait! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 05:54 am     Corey is not my type of person but I think he has what they call "it". He was a natural, just went out and did it and did it well. Joshua has a good voice too but I have to agree with Webkitty that he doesn't have star quality. The standing ovation was the judges using influence, just the same as Simon waving the American flag with Joshua. I can actually see him going to the end with American idol with the strong call to patriotism that is going on now. Too bad because he has talent and if he wins I would like to say it is because he is the best performer. I don't blame the judges, some of the people got in not because they were the best but to spite Simon. I hope the twist takes care of all this stuff. Chip has a beautiful voice, I love it, but I do see what they mean that he shows no personality. As much as I love his voice, ( he is one of my favorites) he has to learn to express emotion and connection to the song he sings. It just doesn't seem that he feels it and that is the differance between him and Corey. |
Conejo | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 05:57 am     Did anyone else notice Corey's dad's hat? What's with that scarf/towel thing hanging off the back of his hat????? Corey, lose that d@mn hat already!! It looks like something you picked up at the five and dime! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 06:02 am     I agree burn the hat. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 06:03 am     Loved Chip, he made me smile. I thought he had a quiet charm. Not seeing it with Corey. Seems smarmy to me. Just goes to show how much of it is perception! |
Car54 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 07:23 am     I think they see Corey as a Justin "type" (I think there was even a comment about that during auditions). Personally I don't think he sings as well as Justin nor is he as attractive, but I think they are including him to appeal to those fans who loved Justin. I hope he gets over his nerves (I would be nervous too after how hard they were on him during the first auditions) so we can see how he does when he is not scared to death. His mom needs to stop crochet-ing those hats and get a new hobby. |
Brenda1966 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 07:37 am     Corey's hat was beyond butt ugly. I was having flash backs to Starsky and Hutch and Huggybear (wasn't that his name -- the skinny guy with the ugly hats). While I'll be glad to hear some new faces sing next week, I'm a little worried that bringing back new people will hurt Clay's chances. I think all of the new faces were female so it seems the judges are trying to balance the male/female ratio for the final 10. I felt bad for Patrick too after Ryan's slip up. Then to have two wildcards come out of this group must have been painful too. I was happy to see PAtrick make the top 32 but after seeing him again, with his hair and spiked clothing and the hand signals, I agree with Simon that he's not right for this competition. The is more of a pop competition. |
Ladytex | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 07:38 am     Just saw on the idolonfox website that there will be 12 finalists this year and that 4 wild cards will be chosen. |
Opie | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 08:27 am     LOL on the Huggybear comment. That's it exactly. Actually, there's something about him that reminds me (looks-wise) of Snoop Dogg, and coincidentally Snoop is playing Huggybear in the Starskey & Hutch movie. I remember the girl who sang "Angel". She was really good. When they showed her second audition during the "Good, bad,etc" show I also thought she sounded okay and didn't really understand why they cut her. It'll be interesting to see how they do. I'm excited to see some new faces. And 4 finalists strengthens Clay's chances. Go Clay! |
Webkitty | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 09:39 am     I just watched my tapes of the auditions again (before they went to Hollywood) I was scanning to see if I could catch any of the wild cards. The only two I saw no trace of where Olivia Mojica and Carmen Rasmesen. While I was scanning, I came on the comment about Corey. Simon said he saw absolutly no compairison to Justin at all. The only thing they have in common is the hair. Paula and Randy agreed. I am liking Corey so far, and I was not a fan of Justin's last year. At all. I also saw the part where, the day after the party scene, he was up with those two losers, when he forgot the words and walked out to sing to Paula. Randy and Simon told him that if he was going to pull a stunt like that, he needed to be on key. He took it in good graces, smiled, and said I hear you. I didn't see him as nervous at all. The more I watched of him, the more I liked him. I agree with Paula, he has star quality. He just needs a makeover, he is quite handsome under those baggy clothes and mop of hair. I was hoping that Heidi Hall would get a wild card slot. She auditioned in Miami, is 17, had the most beautiful blue eyes, could sing, and was sweet without being coy or shy. Her mother was sweet too. She was the girl they told not to dress or act like Christina Agullara. They wanted her to stay wholesome. They put her through to Hollywood, but I have no idea what happened to her. She was no where to be seen in any of the shots after they got there. The only thing I can think of is that her mother may have taken her out of the competition. (not that anyone cares, but I just had to complain a little, lol) Robyn Hanks was another one that seemed to fall through the cracks. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 11:12 am     I love Corey's hair and baggy clothes. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 11:25 am     "Just saw on the idolonfox website that there will be 12 finalists this year and that 4 wild cards will be chosen." Nice catch, Ladytex! Whoo hoo! Clay's chances have improved! Car, I agree with your take on Corey/Justin-- "Personally I don't think he sings as well as Justin nor is he as attractive," I loved Justin and even now cannot take my eyes off of him when he is on screen. Corey? Eh.
