Mak1 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:37 pm     I didn't see the star quality in Cory that the judges did. It just surprised me they liked him so much, but they often surprise me, lol. |
Mak1 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:38 pm     Cool Levi's commercial, with running bulls. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:40 pm     Kimberly - law student, great voice, a bit unusual. She doesn't have an Idol look, but i bet she goes. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:40 pm     simon says this year is vocalists versus image. |
Mak1 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:41 pm     Simon says 2 different aspects this year.....talent over image. Kimberly's voice is powerful and has great range. |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:41 pm     Kimberly is wonderful. She needs me and Bat to style her. Much better guys in Nashville. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:42 pm     Last audition - guy is good, no image. He looks older, according to Simon. Tell him to dress younger and take him to Hollywood. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:43 pm     That's it for tonight - tomorrow night they show the reduction to 32. |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:43 pm     Ricky, come through Boston and we will take you shopping. Jesus..they picked 234 singers? We have to watch them eliminate 233 singers? How many freakin weeks is this show? |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:44 pm     Gotta go watch the State of the Union. Nite, guys. |
Mak1 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:45 pm     lol Car, the next cut takes them down to 32. |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Oh, thanks Mak....I love TV, I didn't feel up to a 233 week commitment, tho! Is it 32 weeks or do we get to boot more than one a week? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:02 pm     Car, I hope I explain this okay. Last year it was 30 finalists. Initially, they were split into groups of 10. Each week the contestants from one of the groups of 10 performed. Audience voted and 3 of the 10 advanced. So after everyone got to perform, that left 9 to advance to the next round. Plus there was one judge's choice spot to be awarded by the judges to 1 contestant from the 21 who did not get voted through. That gave us an even 10 finalists. From then, I think, we got rid of 1 per week. This year, since it is 32 finalists, I don't know how they are doing it. Maybe 4 groups of 8 contestants with 3 advancing out of each group? That would leave 12, no judge's choice. Then who knows? Knock off two or one? It could take 3-4 months depending on how they do it. |
Jbean | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:39 pm     roflmao about 1) you can take forever and shove it up your *ss, and 2). the worst singer in the world. that guy doesn't have a clue. he actually reminded me of a guy friend of mine pretending to be eric cartman from south park. man that just cracked me up. of course when my friend would sing like cartman, it was a joke. lol. this kid was serious. and the looks on their faces...priceless. too funny! |
Jbean | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 06:41 pm     btw, great explanation hermione. i bet they do the 4 groups of 8 like you said. i bet the show will be on through the summer. lol. i am really enjoying it though. |
Pamy | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 08:02 pm     ROTFL when Simon told that guy to wrap his shirt up in a ball and give it back to Ryn!! LOL Did they say why Paula isn't there?? The girl singing Bohemiem Rhapsody gave me chills! |
Pamy | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 08:07 pm     The worlds worst singer...OMG!!! I was dying!!! How could that guy possibly think he could sing!!??and those moves he was doing LOL! Does he not have any family or friends that could have been honest and told him not to make a fool of himself??? |
Pamy | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 08:14 pm     I guess I am the only westcoaster watching! |
Muse | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 08:14 pm     I liked Edwin (guy who said he'd kiss Simon) and You Can Take Forever girl. Not really because of their singing, but because they seemed fun. I'm sort of puzzled about some of the judges' decisions tonight. More so than the last two episodes. Like the guy they compared to Justin? I didn't see it at all. I thought he was terrible. A friend and I were watching the show, and both of us were cringing through his song. I thought for *sure* that it was one of the bad auditions. But then they sent him on...there were one or two more cases like that, IMO. And of course there were the judges going on and on about people who were just okay, too. There were some very good people to compensate, though. Did anyone notice how the security guy was sort of hovering around when Simon went out of the audition room when the one p*ssed off rejected contestant was out there? He looked nervous. The Bohemian Rhapsody girl would be wise to dye her hair differently. Nikki from the first season had a very similar cut and color during the tour. She has a great voice, but I'm not sure that people will vote for someone who reminds them of a previous contestant. |
Pamy | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 08:18 pm     Muse..I was thinking the same thing about that girls hair, I bet the stylists will have her change it. I also am sure there are tons of armed security that that they don't show. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 08:44 pm     At the end one of the rejects said "I will BE a superstore".. Walmart? Costco? |
Wargod | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 11:09 pm     Pamy, I watched with ya! Kind of, lol. We had a birthday party for my sister tonight, and I'd put a tape in to record. I let Darren know and several of our guest asked if we could watch...so we spent an hour hollering in front of the tv, laughing, crying, and having a great time. Not really big on watching tv with a house full of guest, but we had a great time! Once again, I enjoyed myself greatly....its such a treat when someone gets up there, opens their mouths, and sings wonderfully! |
Car54 | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 11:28 pm     Thanks Hermione. I am not sure I will like them enough to watch til summer! I think I might only like the bad audition part. |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 04:38 am     The final show is May 7th - the only reason I remember that is because that was my grandma's birthday and 3 days after mine, so for some reason it stuck... I think that Hermione's right (as usual) about the lineup for the next 4 weeks -4 groups of 8 make more sense than the way I had it figured! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 05:42 am     Bummer for those who are in a group with many good singers. If not for the split they may have made the cut if in another group. Is there any info on how they are divided? I doubt they leave it to chance. My guess is that a pannel divids them to give a balance of men/women and skill. |
