Pagal beat me to it while I was posting. Now that I've read the words... yeech. Sounds positively sappy.

Please remember that calling each other names is not allowed on this board. In addition, please do not go into other threads on the board complaining about things being discussed in this thread. All name calling references will be deleted.

Since it has been made clear that the "Klingon" reference was not intended to be a derrogatory remark it will be allowed to stay. Thank you for clarifying for the rest of the people who are Star Trek challenged (self included) who may have misunderstood that. :)

It would be more appropriate, however, to call Mr. White by his name when referring to him from now on so as not to perpetuate any hard feelings.

Thank you,
TVCH Mod(14)

Bryan White DOES sing upbeat songs, but "I'm Not Supposed To Love You Anymore" is a very slow song and EXTREMELY sappy. I actually like the song but it is so like the last few Clay has sang that I'd like him to do something a little different. Expect the same comments from the same judges on this song as he received on the last Bryan White song [for the life of me I can't rememver which he sang and am too lazy to go look it up!] Oh well. I hope they all sing their little hearts out and it's an 8-way tie, just to confuzzle the producers. *L*

What is it with Kimberly Locke's song choices? She wants to follow in Kelly's footsteps so badly that she needs to keep picking songs Kelly sang in AI1?

I don't know. Maybe that has nothing to do with it but IMO a trend seems to be forming.

And if she sings something else, since this is a spoiler thread based on speculation and information not verified from another board, then I will totally retract the sentiments I offered here.

I think it means Kelly had good taste and Kim L knows it. She wants to win too. Can't fault that. Gosh everyone is getting slammed by the judges for bad choices of songs, so she is playing it safe. Smart girl.

But she should be able to pick her own song and "make it her own" as they are fond of saying. I think it reflects poorly on her that she can't even come up with a song of her own. People who watched last year will remember that Kelly sang this song and compare. I think it's a bad move on Kimberly Locke's part - she'll end up in the bottom three again.

Moderator, I apologize for the Klingon reference. These boards are a fun place to go during the workday or at home to chat about tv. What disturbs me is that it seems like whenever somebody has a differing opinion, they immediately crucify the person posting the opposing view.

Ladytex, I'm just trying to have fun here. I try to interject some humor. I try to make some salient points. I sense a lot of anger behind your words directed towards me. If I've offended you or the many EWF fans across the country, I do sincerely apologize.

On another note, who sang "Thunder Rolls"? Doesn't ring a bell. Sounds kind of countryish, although I may be saying that just because it's Josh's song.

Ding, ding, ding. I know!! Thunder Rolls is sung by Garth Brooks and it's a sad song if you listen to the words. About infidelity.

Sad song, and the original video was banned from CMT cuz it showed the lady going up to get a gun to welcome her cheating love home.

Here is the summary of a book on Amazon.com called "The Billboard Hot 100". If you scroll down, there is a place where you can see an index for all the Billboard songs they can chose from. The Amazon.com listing only has an edition of the book through 1997, so if they chose songs after that year, they won't be on this index. Thought y'all might like to take a look!

B- you are right it should be fun. Sometimes what we post in fun does not come across that way when it is just print.

It is hard to convey humor on a message board, and it is hard when people have favorites to have them take what is lighthearted on the poster's part the way it was intended. (That was a run on sentence, hope you know what I meant).

(Personal experience here) Now I just try to think that the person I wanna make a crack about is somebody else's favorite...and how will they hear it. PS- sometimes I still forget!:)

I just listened to the song predicted for Clay to sing...after listening to it...who ever said that Clay is singing about the same kind of songs week to week is right...

Don't you think that is a song Josh should be singing...I think he needs to do a ballad and it just to me sounds like a song he would be doing well...

I came in here to retract my comments about Kim L. The song she chose is so "old and busted" now that I cringe when I hear it but it was not one that Kelly sang. Kim did a decent job with it though.

Beach - that's why I'm only commenting on email about the show now... I am soooo stubborn about my choices, and so biased when it comes to performances, and judging them (I'm a certified vocal teacher) that I've decided it's better for all involved that I keep my comments to myself...

Well it was fun to speculate and discuss. But I think it's clear now that the "poster on the other board" is NOT a reliable source. LOL

Djgirl...I sure wish you'd share them with me. We seem to enjoy the same sensibility when it comes to this show. (Are you excited about tonight? I know I am!)

Yep Crazy, not right at all! But if I find stuff in the future, I will bring to TVCH for us to discuss to death!;)

NO DJgirl I disagree, it is not better for all if you keep your opinions to just e-mail, I love hearing an informed opinion.

I have been around music festivals for years and I know when I hear something wrong, what you do for me is tell me what they are doing wrong, I can hear it but I can't always put a name to it. I love your post after each week and am still looking forward to your take on last Tuesday night. I would far sooner hear what you have to say than someone who thinks the reason Clay should win is that he is cute and Rueben should win because he is a teddy bear, That is stretching the point but you know what I mean.

Please don't quit your critique, I look forward to them, but if you have to please add me to your e-mail list.

Oh, and as a fellow Canadian, I fully expect you to critique the ass of Canadian Idol.

DJ, I disagree too. I enjoy reading your opinions also!! It may or may not change my mind, but I find your posts very educational...you see things from a perspective that I don't.

You guys are really sweet... As you may not have noticed that post was from the beginning of April after a very heated previous evening, and I wasn't really in the mood to be bashed even in the slightest... as you might have noticed, my little slump ended pretty darn quickly = I haven't missed a week yet!

I love you guys & this place!!!!

Thanks! Oh, and LLKoolaid - don't you worry... I will definitely NOT miss CI - I am still ticked off that they had to make the age limit 26 - why couldn't it have been 28????!!!! Then I definitely would have tried out for it!!!! lol, guess I'm not meant to be a "pop idol"... If I'm ever going to make it in this business - it definitely won't be as a "popstar"... may be the reason I REFUSE to audition for any of the previous popstar programs here in Canada! lol

Have a great night everyone!!!
