Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:20 pm     That sucks (about Frenchie!) (Deej, I called in a 3-2-1 ratio for your choices.) |
Luvmom | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:24 pm     Thanks ladytex!!! I can't believe we won't get to see Frenchie.......I'm bummed!! |
Not1worry | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:33 pm     Luv, I called about 20 times for Clay, some of them can be from you! He was so cute in a nerdy way. I love Journey too. |
Luvmom | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:50 pm     thanks not1. I was in a high school band and we sang Journey.I didn't realize Randy was in journey.... |
Grooch | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:53 pm     D@mn! about Frenchie. I am voting for Clay and Kimberly. I don't know why, but Ruben didn't do anything for me. I am upset. I keep calling Clay's number and getting through. This is not good.  |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Grooch, yeah, I noticed that too. I had no trouble getting through for Clay. It was hard getting through for Ruben. Slight trouble getting through for Kimberly, but only for short time. I want Clay to advance!!! Go Clay! It is really too bad these people had to be in the same group, especially with Frenchie being disqualified. Seems like tonight's group overall did much better than last week's. |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:01 pm     Just re-posting b4 it gets archived.. 1-866-436-5701 Clay 1-866-436-5702 Candice 1-866-436-5703 Rebecca 1-866-436-5704 Jacob 1-866-436-5705 Hadas 1-866-436-5706 Ruben 1-866-436-5707 Kimberly 1-866-436-5708 Jennifer |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:06 pm     no problems at all getting through for both clay and ruben |
Muse | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:22 pm     I want Clay to go through. I would've voted for him and Ruben, but I think Ruben will definitely be safe. I tried his (Ruben's) line a few times, and kept getting a busy signal. Clay, however...well, his line was free. *sigh* - I wish he had performed later in the evening. Seems like some people might have forgotten about him with the gap of good-but-not-great singers (Candice, Rebecca, Jacob, and Hadas). I thought Kimberly was good, but the song choice wasn't great. She sang it beautifully, but it's *such* a well-known song...it's kind of a boring choice, especially since she's done it already. And I never really felt she had that special spark that it takes to be a star. I saw a little of it during the duet with Frenchie, but it might have been Frenchie's energy kind of rubbing off on her. Her talking back to Simon didn't really bother me, btw. No real impact on how I see her. I liked how Simon's opinion of her went up, though...shows that he really is willing to take what he dishes out. I'm really upset about Frenchie, too. Man, I was just telling people today that she was bound to win it all. So much for that idea. Hopefully she'll get a good recording contract regardless. |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:29 pm     Muse - I had no problem with either Ruben or Clay - so I voted a few times for Ruben and then like 20 for Clay - lol Just tried again 5 more for Clay, 1 for Ruben, nary a busy signal. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:32 pm     15 min to go here on west coast. ryn.. remember that the wednesday show is taped so actually they can edit off any simon comments or choose to keep them, so Kimberly didn't tie their hands. I have to listen first, but my gut reaction is more votes from me for Kimberly just to balance out the backlash Here's the text on Frenchie.. sounds like she still may get some help with her music career.. sure hope so. Posted 2/11/2003 7:31 PM Updated 2/11/2003 9:35 PM 'Idol' contestant booted for working for adult Web site By Gary Levin, USA TODAY Frenchie Davis, the full-figured brassy-voiced American Idol semifinalist from Washington, D.C., has been eliminated from Fox's talent competition after she acknowledged she worked for an adult Web site four years ago. Fox said she'll be replaced on a show airing Feb. 25. But co-producer 19 Entertainment, which signs Idol winners to recording contracts, says it will "endeavor to do all in its power to help Frenchie further her music career." |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:37 pm     Sea, I think they try to keep the "live" feeling of the show even though its taped. That came up last year when we realized it was taped. I don't care for Simon but I really feel she showed a nasty side when she let into him. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:57 pm     I've just heard Clay so far.. I wonder if he can see without his glasses.. his eyes looked sort of unfocussed. Needs work on his "look" and while his voice is good, I'm not as blown away as the first time. I'll look for that nasty side, ryn. I do think they set the kids up for it with all of the Simon bashing done on the show.. and watching Randy and Paula cackle gleefully at Simon's old pictures, I'm hoping they turn the tables on them.. i'm sure they could find really embarrassing material on both of them.. Candice is up (hard for me to spell it her way, but it is her name). Hmm.. well I like her but not knocked away.. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:03 pm     Rebecca.. eh.. So far my votes go to Clay and Candice, but I sense that may be changing |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:15 pm     Jacob John (eeek I hope he never goes by JJ).. he's ok.. not exciting at all... Paula.. "cute" isn't really a judgement of his singing.. Simon making the "raise your game" speech.. I have to agree. Simon in third place at the moment. (just in my livingroom of course). |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:19 pm     I just can't stand the cocky attitudes and the backtalk. Rebecca Bond says she has a voice "like Ella" and it is memorable. Humph. Attitude much? Kimberly did NOT come off on the winning side of that exchange. Her personality took a beating because she let Simon bait her. I truly believe that is how he is intending to get his own "ideal" through. Bait the ones who don't have the "image", encourage their inappropriate responses, sit back and let the public do his dirty work. Then he can say, "See?! I told you image was important." At least there was less focus on the families in the red room. Still think they should be off camera though. I haven't found that one person who inspires me to spend time maniacally hitting redial. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:25 pm     Oops, that was Jacob john in third place.. not Simon. Hadas - well she does look a bit like Sandra.. oops.. the Debby Boone sone! Randy's right.. not blown away. Hadas bumps up into third or second place though.. Ruben.. wow that's a large t-shirt.. liked the jean jacket better but... oh baby! I want to see him move up. Ruben shoots up to first place. Paula.. be a judge.. ooh Simon!! The 205 area code was buzzing tonight, methinks. (Puffy would send Ruben to his boot camp tho) |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:35 pm     Oh yeah.. glad the families have been kept off stage tonight.. I may actually vote tonight, didn't last week.. Kimberly.. well now I'm apprehensive since I know things got ugly. hmm good rendition.. one bad note (that I noticed)... Randy and Paula are gushing.. seems like a buildup to Simon being not as pumped. Technically best.. ok Paula and Randy are egging her on so far. Simon seems to be ok with it. She's still got my vote.. with Ruben. (tell me someone, why would someone PAY to send a text message when the phone calls are free?? |
Northstar | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:40 pm     I was waiting for some big ugly exchange and it looked more like friendly banter. No big shake for me anyway. Tough choice for me tonight between Clay, Ruben and Kim. I'll have to decide when I see the re-caps. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:42 pm     Jennifer.. growly.. ok.. I'm tight with Ruben and Kimberly now.. what is that hooohoo thing.. she's not TheOwl |
Hummingbird | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 08:48 pm     Kimberly was fantastic but I don't know why she had to follow up with all that drama. It will probably hurt her with voters. I hope not. I am having trouble with my second choice - either Clay or Ruben. Which ever one of these three who does not make it has a chance at the wild card. All three were better than last weeks winners. No one else tonight came even close. |
Wink | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Have none of these young people ever heard of the concept of being gracious? They should be on their knees thankful they've made it as far as they have. Kimberly has a powerful voice and should advance but I don't think she did herself any favours with her smart aleck remarks. |
Shortnsweet | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 09:12 pm     Jacob was gracious and Simon said, "OK enough sucking up!" I think the contestants have to find a middle ground between sucking up and drama. |
Max | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 09:30 pm     Clay, Ruben, and Kimberly should be the top three from this group. Clay has an absolutely beautiful voice. I agree with the judges that it seems out of place with his look, although that's not necessarily a criticism, just an observation. It's like Jim Nabors. You look at the guy and don't think much about it, but when he starts to sing, your knees melt. Ruben ROCKED! Definitely reminded me of Luther Vandross before he lost all the weight. And I was So glad to see the judges give him praise despite his lack of a skinny "pop star" look. Hoorah for all the full-figured folk! Kimberly also has a great voice and presence. I hate that they've labeled her "the fat girl" (as she said when they were showing her picking outfits) 'cause she has a nice shape, IMHO. I would have liked to hear her sing something different and I hope we'll get that opportunity. The rest were okay. These are the three that, IMHO, shined tonight. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 10:10 pm     I think the attitudes are absolutely encouraged by the judges and producers. I had trouble getting thru for Ruben, a bit less trouble getting thru for Kimberly and no trouble for Clay (but didn't try more than once for Clay). I also think that any of the top three in this group should beat anyone in the first group, thus.. I would hope that #3 here will be the wildcard (pending the results of the next groups of course. Big loss having Frenchie disqualified. |
