You are absolutely correct Wink. I noticed that too and then forgot about it. I thought they may have been talking about her looks but realized that they surely would have shown their knowledge of who originally recorded it. The two singers were polar opposites.

lol at kelly's non-chalant, laid back attitute. "i don't care if i'm famous...if it all got taken away tomorrow, i'd be like "oh well, it was fun". she seems like such a sweet kid.

i noticed that about jim and ejay, too. weird. at least they SHOWED jim a few times, no mention of ejay or spots with him at all. and what happened to nikki's hair? i guess i would be beautiful if i had someone fixing my hair and makeup too, though. she was gorgeous during the shows and tour

The other thing that I noticed is that most of these kids don't know what phrasing is, and breathe whenever the h*ll they want to instead of at the end of a phrase. It drives me crazy. My bf asks me all the time why I watch the show, and it's purely for the glee of them finding out what a real audition process is like.

Watched the last half-hour after Buffy (taped the rest).

Edgar--My goodness, there's something mentally wrong with that guy. I seriously think he's unbalanced, like borderline schizophrenic or something. Scary, and sad.

And that yellow peacock who didn't have a ride home? What, he thought if he was "going to Hollywood" he'd be leaving that very day?? How stupid is that? Or was he aiming for the pity vote?

New father seemed mature and nice, but doubt he has the talent. Same with fever girl. We shall see!

Ahh shoot. So there really WAS a "Where are they now?" show after AI2? They kept advertising it but then when AI2 ended, our station had a new Osbournes (new for us anyway) instead.

I enjoyed last night.. skipped much of the where are they now bit. But thought it was ironic (or not) that Nikki ended up in the karaoke business, for now..

Justin looks different and I cannot quite put my finger on it.. his face looks more.. something around the eyes.. just not sure..

Kelly looked good and the two of them seemed to be having a blast doing the movie.

Seeing the beginning reminded me how as they winnow down the group, those still left also get advice, practice and so on and they actually may show so much more than at the beginning.

So far I don't see someone as immediately good as Kelly was, but it is early days..

Wink, I agree with Goddess, I got the feeling they were comparing her voice and/or diction to DD, everybody knows Peggy Lee sang that song!

Rissa our local CTV station switched to Osbournes, but our Fox station stayed with AI.

I just sit and grin and grin and grin, as I watch the successful contestants. I am just SO delighted for them, I can't stop smiling! I just love this show. I would've liked to be able to slip a $20 to the yellow-suit boy ... (Does Traveers Aid still help people who get stranded far away from home?) I know he wasn't very realistic, but I believe these kids ALL think they just have to get in that line and from then on the road is paved with gold ...

Thanks Grooch, Goddess, Fruit and Dahli. I would be very upset if I thought Simon thought Doris Day did that song. The nap helped.

I agree that Simon was commenting about the girl's "type"- not that he thought Doris sang Fever.

He seems to be on a wholesome kick...he perked up a lot when that other very wholesome girl sang as well.

I have to admit I was happy to see the wholesome girl! Totally off topic, but it might be a change in trends coming, and I'd love to be able to walk in a store and not have to search for an hour to find clothes for my four year old to wear that aren't miniture copies of Christina or Brittney clothes!

Back on topic, I didn't watch the first AI, but saw how much fun GAL was having posting about it last night, so figured I'd give it a shot. I laughed, I cringed, I got excited for the ones who at least knew how to sing, so I'll be watching...or maybe recording since there seems to be some scheduling conflict. I think to it'll be interesting to see how they progress as the show goes on.

I did like the twins, I'm just wondering how they'll work it out if they win?

War, I really think they will force the twins to split up at some point, for the sake of fairness. While I love the novelty of them and think they are quite a pair, I can understand perfectly how they would be resented by the other contestants if they are able to continue as a duo. It makes them stand out in a way the others cannot compete with. Not to mention it would open up the door to all kinds of duet acts in the future. Where will they draw the line? Twins only? Identical only? Fraternal okay? What about triplets? What about regular siblings? Best friends? Husband and wife? See what I'm saying? The twins have already been given an unfair advantage of sorts no matter how beautifully they sing together because the contest is about finding ONE American Idol. It will be interesting to see how far they are allowed to continue, but I would bet that they are broken up sooner rather than later and maybe will even have to compete against each other. Just my feeling.

Seamonkey, I noticed that about Justin too. He looked older to me, as if he had aged 15 years in one. His face didn't look bad, just different. He still needs a haircut, imo.

He irratated me all through last season, but his rendition of Desperado is the best I've heard. He does have a good voice.

The Fever/Doris Day thing kinda threw me too. I love Peggy Lee's voice and she does that song perfectly. I did find where Doris Day did record that song, I just don't know when. Peggy's was recorded in 1958, I believe. Soooooooo, anyway, who knows.

I can't wait for Part II tonite!

I agree that Justin looked a lot older and lot more mature. He never irritated me though (except for that one time when he got puffed up over Simon's criticism), I think he is beautiful and love his voice. I hear deeper voices better than I hear higher ones so there are times that Kelly sounded like she was shrieking while Justin sounded like a melody. One of the idiosyncracies of my hearing loss, I guess!

(Webkitty, I just left you a message in your folder! :))

Oh yeah - Justin - he looked different to me too. I think his face filled out a little bit.

Weener, what will you do about Ed tonight??

Hermione, I am setting up the VCR as we speak. Gonna tape Ed and The Bachelorette. Yikes!

I thought for sure this is what I would see when I watched my tape today, after some of the descriptions of the Banana Pimp guy.

Bridgemen


This is a picture of the Bridgemen Drum and Bugle Corps. Though they are now long since inactive, they really put the drum corps activity on their knees with these unis when they debuted in 1976. They were radical and hilarious. They were refered to as the Bayonne Bananas by many (as they were from Bayonne, NJ).

Your mention of Banana Pimp made me think of them, and I was just waiting for the contestant to appear in a large yellow overcoat with a big B on it! Ahhhh, the memories!

There was a segment on tv last night with Simon on the View, but someone did a separate interview and asked him about the twins. He stated that the twins are sure that they are #1 & #2 at the end of the process, and if that's what they think, then they've got another thing coming.

Welcome to the AI addiction Wargod! Glad to have you!

Simon said the twins think they are going to be 1 and 2 at the end? We have to vote them off the island immediately.
