Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 07:34 am     The point of the Wed show is to see who goes. Most of it is filler. I just think it would be anticlimatic and many viewers would opt for another channel. The interest in tonights show is to see who doesn't make the grade in their performance and vote and guess and speculate etc. Just seems dull to me if no one goes. Another reason to bring someone back is to keep the number of shows the same to make May sweeps. |
Essence | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 07:52 am     So if Corey is out that means he's not performing tonight right? It's a live show, so wouldn't they be eliminating from the ones who actually performed? Or are you saying no one will be eliminated on Wednesday's show? I'm just confused. |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:02 am     I think they will keep the performance and elimination rounds this week and throw in a week of filler somewhere along the way. A "very special" edition if you will. Wouldn't it be cool if they did a show featuring all of last year's AI performers who are releasing an album soon to sing their single? I'd watch that for sure. Rabbit. Not. One. Word. |
Car54 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:08 am     I think they should go on from here. If they were going to bring back someone, they need to wait til closer to the end and have a big pool of people to pick from. Wait til there are 6 or 8, enough to fill a show- let them come back and sing for an "America's Choice", give the finalists a week off to rest their voices. Just move on...I think poor Trenyce is up now. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:19 am     RABBIT!!!!!! You are needed here. Forgive me Wcv, he is my boy and all. You know how we all help our children. Well you are all probably correct in that we will have a non elimination week. Certainly the easiest for them to do. I was just really, really, really hoping for a surprize. I love surprizes. Nice ones.  |
Webkitty | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:35 am     I think this news stinks. I am heartbroken over Corey He really disappointed me. As far as replacing him, I am so against that. I think they should just move on from here. They can always do a recrap show with more "bad" auditions, or use it to plug Kelly's new album and movie. Anyone that was voted out should stay out. I would still feel this way if the tables were turned, and Corey had been voted out previously, and it was Trenyce that was kicked off. Is it speculation that they will bring back a previously voted off contestant or is it fact that it will happen? |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:54 am     Webkitty, strictly speculation. Fruitbat, you are going on my list right underneath Rabbit. I like surprises too but have come to equate "surprise" in a reality show with "really lame." They didn't even mention Frenchie's departure during the show. I wonder how they'll handle Corey's disqualification. That can be our surprise. Will they explain or won't they? This should be a bonus question on the poll. I think it'll go something like this, "Due to unexpected circumstances one of our final 10, Corey Clark, has been disqualified." No other explanation forthcoming. |
Car54 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:58 am     This whole thing makes sense now. Remember Corey's intro video where he talked about his dead grandfather and making him proud of him. He got so emotional and so did his parents, I wondered at the time, if he is such a good kid, why wouldn't his grandfather be proud. Now we know why it was such a hot issue for them. |
Beachcomber88 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 09:01 am     Thank you Ginger for being the first to say that nobody should come back! I was very confused reading through all of last night's and this morning's speculation until I got to your post. Finally, the sane voice of reason amongst the wild chaos. Who cares if there's one less! Who cares if the Marine goes! The producers should keep booting people off before they find out something new about them and be forced to boot them anyway. Skip a week if you must make it to May sweeps. I really doubt that Idol's ratings would suffer by a "filler" week. That thing you call a hat? Awful. Beating up your sister? Inexcusable. Getting the well deserved boot? Priceless. |
Brenda1966 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 09:20 am     Very disappointed in Corey, but not surprised. I was moderated for saying he looked like a thug in a previous post and I guess I wasn't that far off. He just has that trouble-with-the-law look about him. I agree Beach - I don't think they should bring anyone back. |
Texannie | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 09:59 am     They DEFINITELY should NOT bring someone back. The people were voted off, end of story. They would have still been voted off if he wasn't there. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 09:59 am     Well i figured someone would beat me to this one.. I get emails from TSG, but I've actually been doing <gasp> housework, laundry, so haven't been jumping right on my emails. I haven't even read above yet, but ohmyheck NO, they have plenty of finalists, they don't need to drag someone in now. I wonder if my choice on mediiawhore for Corey to go will still count? |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 10:19 am     I hope they continue with the elimination and plan a filler show down the line. It makes sense that they would need the time to orgainze that anyway.
|
Seamonkey | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 10:23 am     The definitely shouldn't bring someone in who hasn't been competing. Bringing back one of the voted out probably isn't that great an idea.. much as I'd like to see Vanessa or Julia get another chance. They could keep on eliminating and then later just skip one Wednesday and have a Tuesday non-elimination show where all the bootees come back to show what they are doing now and to get more face time and practice since they will all be going out on the tour. As for Josh.. that columnist in my paper, who went to press without the Corey news, but reported on the Josh and Lashundra/Trenyce brouhahas, had some words from the Marines and also pointed out that 25% of the troops are currently deployed; why are people wanting to ship Josh out, when he's just part of the 75% who are NOT currently deployed?? What to do about Mediiawhore.. guess I will go see if they actually have reacted quickly to this situation. |
Justin42 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:14 am     I fully expect to see a 1-hour Corey retrospective as soon as they can piece it together, just to give the judges one more chance to give him a standing ovation. ;) (sorry to those who liked him!) |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:15 am     I'm glad Corey's gone, to say his voice was irritating is an understatement. I wonder if they're gonna mention why he's gone on the show tonight, I doubt it though. What a loser he is, taking away someone else's chance, someone who actually could've possibly been the Idol, because he was to stupid to think they wouldn't find out about his arrest. Hope he hasn't bumped his a$$ on the doorknob on his way out... |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:20 am     ...so does this mean that Corey gets a job as special correspondant on Entertainment Tonight too?? |
Car54 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:38 am     Seamonkey, I think you have the best idea. I have really enjoyed the production numbers where they all sing together, I would be perfectly happy with something like that one week. No question Corey screwed up. I feel bad for his parents that their family trouble is this public..they seemed like decent people. Hope this gives him a reality check and he is able to get past this legal issue and straighten up. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:52 am     This may be a wake up call for Corey. He has missed a chance at something pretty big. He is definately rough around the edges. He took off and partied the very first night of this big opportunity. He is a wild child. |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 11:56 am     They seemed like decent people??? Weren't these are the same thoughtless family members who started chanting "Corey! Corey! Corey!" the moment after Charles got eliminated from the show? Real classy. Although I will admit that Corey's attempt to shift the chanting focus from himself to Charles *was* by far his shining AI moment. But don't look for AI to help coordinate for Corey on any publicity junket next week. They don't want the negative attention, and would prefer to distance themselves as far away from controversy as possible. |
Car54 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 12:11 pm     Gosh...I must be the only person who ever made stupid mistakes when I was a kid that caused my family grief. All this fun over someone else's trouble. Bat, well put..he has a wild streak, and it cost him a hell of a lot. He has a court date to face as well. I feel sorry for any family whose kid screws up and humiliates them in public. I would imagine AI will not include him or the other young man they ousted in any further activities, of course not. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 12:37 pm     A wild streak is a relatively mild way of characterizing someone who physically abused his sister and then got crazy with the cops when they tried to restrain him. Most of us have made stupid mistakes and most of us have skeletons in our closet, but most of us, I hope, have not beat up a family member who is younger and weaker than us. And he deliberately withheld the information from the producers of the show. I say goodbye and good riddance. I was in an abusive marriage for several years and have no tolerance for behavior like this. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 12:37 pm     In the entertainment industry buzz is good no matter what it is. He will be remembered where Julia and Charles may not. Never know who will come knocking at his door. |
Crazydog | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 12:39 pm     Good riddance to Corey Clark. I couldn't stand his singing or his attitude. Where to begin? Didn't like his girly high pitched voice. Didn't like his smooth moves. Didn't like his "PAW-la, every time I see you it's like a Kiss from a Rose". Didn't like his bad hair. Didn't like his awful fashion sense. Didn't like Michael Jackson. Corey, please let the door smack you firmly on your a$$ on the way out. |
Texannie | Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Bat, I screwed up plenty and definitely didn't make my family proud at times, but I never ASSAULTED anyone. I think that is way different than just sowing some wild hairs. |
