OMG, I've been signed up for THIS club since week one!!

I still say if she just had normal sized fingernails and they were anything but white, it would help a little bit.. Last night it looked like she was flapping her left hand nails too, at her side.

Thanks for changing the title Mod! As I said, there was never any intent to bash the person themself, just that crazy quirky habit!

Sea, I agree. Trim the nails, and paint them a different color, and it might help a little bit. And yes, she was multi-flapping last night.. LOL

They all have their little quirks. The fingers bug me the most.

They all have eye twitches too. (wink alot syndrome-- hehehe)

ketchup, the "finger flapping" is referring to trenyce tapping the microphone with her fingers while she is performing.

to be honest, i have never noticed it. i personally like her voice and think she is reasonably talented. sometimes i am glad to see her come up after some of the others (except when she sang the leann rimes song...with the wrong words). i will have to pay closer attention next time.

on another note, last year i noticed kelly clarkson's "quirky" habit. she ALWAYS sang with her left hand on her abdomen. later i read that it had something to do with detecting her breath support. i thought it was strange though when i noticed it. just an observation, not a comparison of kelly to trenyce.

What bugs me is Paula's clapping with her palms touching, fingers outstretched. It makes me think of a wind-up monkey banging cymbals together.

Ahhhhhhh...rant over. :)

I had never noticed the "flappping fingers "until it was noted was noted earlier. If she drops the mic she will learn her lesson.
The gurl can "sang", and it will be interesting to se how far she goes.

Finally I noticed the fingers and now that it has been pointed out, it annoyed me. Oh well I think the finger flappin days are numbered.

aaaaaaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk she flapped her fingers even when she wasn't holding the mic, she flapped them in the air.


hehehehhehe the fiance started in on this "no you are NOT watching it live you have to tape it so you forward thru the flapper" but I won out. He wanted to watch Cher and I said if I don't watch AI live I'm gonna watch it at 8 and you'll have to watch Cher in the bedroom.

I agree that the flapping would not be so annoying if she didn't have the big fake nails. And I know she probably can't help this, but she is so painfully thin it makes me want to send her Little Debbie cakes or something. I hope that she is just naturally that thin and not starving herself to look like Whitney.

I must be the only one annoyed by Clay's head bob/snap/swing/whatever thing he does when he closes his eyes and the head moves. I really like him, but it makes me flinch.

OMG, Trenyce was on a finger flappin marathon last night! I thought I would die when she was flappin 'em in the air! Yikes!
I wonder if The Guiness Book has a catagory for finger flappin.

I am really liking this thread! You know how fond of the 'F' word I am!!

Did anyone else notice Trenyce flappin those fingers on her hip last night during the group song?

Pamy, I know what you mean.....I've nearly posted that 'F' along with flappin fingers several times, but instead self-moderated myself!

I didn't notice that Conejo! You mean I missed out on an opportunity to freak out over flapping!

We always have our CC on, so thankfully it covers up some of that annoying stuff!

LOL Serate. It looked like she actually flapped a bit less tonight. Her fingers didn't rise up as far off the mic. I also noticed the hip-flapping this time too!

Anyone see the yodeler girl in America's Most Talented Kid the other night? Another flapper. Someone should get to her soon, while she's still young enough to curb that habit!

I just felt the need to scream and figured I could get away with it in here.

Who, I thought I caught a "double handed finger flap" on the microphone last night! Did you see it or was I just imagining it?

OMG...just found this part of the TVCH site...for the entire this season of AI, I have complained about the finger flapping of T, as well!! My niece, who is a huge Ruben fan and also loved T, just could not see it...lol

Last night I noted another habit of Trenyce that I thought I caught coule of weeks back..but was not sure--the continuous teeth licking she did more and more last night!!! Perhaps it is the olive oil they uncovered Tuesday night that makes her lick her teeth...it was so distracting to me.

I do feel that she is a good singer and this week she really performed 2 good songs...but the finger flapping and the teeth licking took soooo much away from it for me.

p.s. I thought it was ONLY ME who noticed the finger flapping...since I just found this thread, I am dying to know what it was titled before...if anyone dares...PLS PLS PLS

Finger Flapping Haters Club, or something close. But the "haters" part seemed a little harsh so Whoami asked it be changed. We never ever said we hated Trenyce, just the flapping of the fingers.
