Meme9 | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 06:45 pm     Spy, I've gotten about 30 in for Clay and 10 in for Kim. |
Foliage | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 06:51 pm     I have never gotten this many busies before. I'm being distracted by 24! |
Hippyt | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:00 pm     me too Foliage,and I haven't been able to get through to Ruben ONCE. |
Walker | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:05 pm     i really did'nt think that kimberly was very good atall tonight. |
Donut | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:15 pm     did anyone notice that it seemed more than ever than they were trying to get a guy to win this time? Does anyone ever see signs waving for Kim? my hubby saw one, but i see the guys signs featured constantly.. Also the last camera shot of the nite was the promo for tommorrow and they show Kim crying. isnt that very sublimanal if not blatant? and i think they coached her to sing songs that you couldnt do anything good with..someone wasnt letting her know about the good pre disco ballads... ok...enuf conspiracy.. while i was calling in votes i had a game show on in the background and the guy was a sculptor and he was asked what his favorite medium is . and just as i went to dial, he said, "Clay is best" LOL Hey, how bout that dog promo?? cant you just hear the pitch session..." Are You Hot? meets Eukanuba!" |
Fluff | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:19 pm     Interesting, Donut. *in deep thought* |
Sadiesmom | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:21 pm     In my effort to vote for anyone but Josh. I must say the only person I can get through for is Kim. her lines are empty. |
Heavenly | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:51 pm     I haven't been able to vote once for Ruben. I'm hoping that's a good sign. |
Maris | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 07:54 pm     heavenly they changed the number for Ruben, Its 866-436-5703. (tee hee) |
Jimmer | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:15 pm     It pains me to say it but Josh was pretty good tonight (in a Josh sort of way). He really made an effort, particularly going down into the audience. Pretty good slight to the judges as well the way he effectively turned his back on them. We can't figure out what the judges are smokin? They loved Josh tonight whereas they panned him last week and his performances weren't all that different. We were really disappointed with Kim's song choices and with her performances (and lately Kim has been a favorite with us). Ruben was okay on the first song and much better on the second. Clay was brilliant on the first song. He deserves some credit for having fun with the second song, but Simon just wouldn't play along and that really cast a pall on the whole performance. If only he'd worn a black leather jacket, he really would have had fun and looked the part. All I can say is ARGH! Poor performance and song choices by Kim and a better performance by Josh - not what I wanted to see. |
Iscreamer1 | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:22 pm     I agree totally Jimmer. I just got through to clay, first time since the show ended. |
Fabnsab | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:24 pm     Gosh, I am sorry but I am not impressed with any of them at all. I can't even watch Josh without cringing, Kimberly seems to miss alot of notes, Ruben has absolutely no personality and Clay should be in a Guys&Dolls revival. The one I seemed to like best was Kimberly Caldwell. She was consistent and had stage presence. I am glad that they're allowing two plus size people to advance so greatly this year. An idol comes in all shapes and sizes. But these folks don't have it. They all bore me. |
Knightpatti | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:26 pm     I tried the 2 hours to vote for Clay. His line was busy most of the time, but I did successfully get some votes in. I loved his performances tonight. I thought Ruben did wonderful on the last song, too. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:31 pm     Me too, Knightpatti. I think a whole bunch of us are going to have dialing finger spasms tomorrow!! Oh, did I tell you guys as soon as Simon told Clay his 2nd performance was horrible, my eye started twitching????? First time in 2+ weeks! ROFLMAO! I finally figured out what causes it---- SIMON! Well, I need to get to bed. |
Walker | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:34 pm     lmao herm..simon will do it to you. |
Tvjunkie | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:38 pm     The phone lines are closed here now. I tried to vote for Clay. I really enjoy his singing, I just wish his moves weren't so forced looking. Anyway, I couldn't get through for him. His phone line were totally clogged. I did get a few votes in for Kim. Her line seemed pretty easy to get through. Hummmm.... I enjoyed Kim's performaces tonight. Maybe not her best, but that girl has a great voice. Josh did ok, improvement from last week. I don't know about his phone lines, I didn't try him, and I called once for Ruben.
Was that Bono sitting behind Randy? That guy sure looked like him, but it could have just been the shades. I donno if it was, because I didn't hear them point him out of the crowd like the usually do when celebs visit. |
Sadiesmom | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:44 pm     I really think Clay needs some dance time, a place where Paula could come in handy. He does not move well. I was surprised to see him wearing red shoes, they looked so oddly curled in the toes. I thought I saw a tear in his eyes after Simon finished with him, definitely a sad face. |
Jimmer | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 08:46 pm     IMO Clay was clearly the best. Josh had a really good performance (by Josh standards), but that doesn't even come close to Clay. I'd give Ruben a slight edge over Kim. His first song wasn't great but he had a good choice for his second song and he performed well (plus the judges drool all over him). I'm really sorry to say that Kim wasn't very good tonight. Big disappointment. The bottom line is that Clay sets the standard every single show. He took a chance with Grease and Simon didn't buy it, but he's still a cut above the others. |
Bigd | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:00 pm     I came here to share my distress because I know ya'll will care in here..........my tape broke and now I can't watch American Idol, to add to my distress, I AM A HUGE GIBB FAN. I am so sick. I don't know if I can go on. |
Jimmer | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:05 pm     At the risk of sounding miserable, my honest opinion was that the show was a bit of a disappointment. The Gibb's have composed a huge repertoire of songs and I don't think this was a great showcase for it. I realize this is small consolation, as I'm sure you would have enjoyed it nonetheless. |
Sadiesmom | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:05 pm     I have a tape Bigd - Where do you live? Do you live in NJ or NYC? I work in FOrt lee and am going to the shore this weekend, so I am covering the state, LOL For some reason the color is a little off, or it could be my TV. VCR new, TV old. |
Meggieprice | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:06 pm     Zachy is manning the Ruben phone and I am trying for Kim- neither of us have been able to get through yet... hope that is a good sign! |
Bigd | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:16 pm     I live in Wisconsin SadiesMom. wishing.... I have been trying to call a vote, based on this thread. I have been trying the numbers for Clay, Rueben & Kim....certainly not Josh, no matter how well he did tonight. I have not been able to get through on any of the lines. |
Sadiesmom | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:18 pm     Let me know tomorrow if you can't get it from someone closer and I will mail it to you. Just leave me a note in my folder. You really do want to see this. |
Muse | Tuesday, May 06, 2003 - 09:20 pm     Short critique of each contestant tonight: Clay - Amazing first performance, then something much more fun (but risky) for the second. Thought he was the best of the night. And hey - decent vibrato there. Josh - Seemed to put a lot of effort into tonight's performances (smiling, audience interaction, etc), and it paid off. I liked him better than Kim tonight, and that *never* happens. I still think he should go tomorrow, though, since I don't think he's nearly as talented as the other three. Ruben - Um, I actually liked his first performance a lot better than the second one. But now I'm thinking I'll have to watch it again, since people seem to be saying the opposite. I thought the first one was okay, second one was a bit dull. Kimberley - Little too much shrieking/cracking (whatever you want to call it - you know what I'm talking about) tonight. I agree with Simon tonight when it comes to her...good, but not great. She's done better. I was kind of disappointed, since I've grown to like her a lot. |
