Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:01 am     Thanks Hermione! You're the best!!! I'm really disappointed to hear about Frenchie - man things come out of the woodwork don't they?! I can understand why they would disqualify her though, and "idol" image for this show really doesn't mesh well with the adult industry... I really hope they do everything for her in the way of a contract though! She definitely deserves it. |
Opie | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 06:09 am     I guess I'm in the minority here that Ruben just did not blow me away. He has an awesome voice, but I was kind of bored. Pretty predictable song choice - Luther - wonder how he will do in the finals with other song types. But yes, I do think he'll make it to the finals. Kim also has a great voice, but her presentation had that Miss America quality to it to me. I caught that she attended Belmont University. If you watch the Miss TN pagent at least half the contestants have gone there. They have a big music program. Guess I'm saying I didn't really like it. And she definitely should have picked a different song. Three times is too much. IMO, Clay and Ruben are both better than any of the male finalists last year. I hope they both make it, either with votes or wildcard. The image thing will get Clay in the end. My husband commented that he would fit well in Christian music. Not sure if he is a Christian, but he would sound good singing gospel |
Conejo | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 06:20 am     Opie, I agree with you - Ruben didn't "blow" me away either! Wasn't the song he sang done by The Carpenters? I thought the girl that sang that really upbeat song was horrible - not a very good song choice. IMO Thought Clay was very good - but I also think that his image will not get him very far in the contest - even though I have no problem with it. |
Prisonerno6 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 07:17 am     I'm I the only one that thought Kimberly's exchange with Simon was a joke and not at all mean-spirited? Considering how Randy and Paula were egging her on with the "What would you give Simon for personality?" poke and the fist-pumping rah-rah's after she said "Zero!" I didn't take it at all seriously. I didn't agree with Simon's assessment of her personality. Yes, I think Ruben has more, but other than Ruben, Kimberly was the only one who looked to me like she was really enjoying singing, not just trying to win a competition by playing it up. I missed Clay's performance, but what I saw in the end of show clip didn't do much for me. |
Texannie | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 07:17 am     Opie..I was beginning to wonder what was wrong with my ears! LOL I felt sorry for that last gal, she had agonized over the song choice knowing how important it was, and chose wrong. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 07:26 am     I think it was half and half, Prisoner. It was done with more humor than Rebecca's exchange, but there did seem to be an undercurrent of passive-aggressiveness. I think Kim could have handled it with humor and class without carrying it so far, but she took it over the top, IMHO, when she started hurling insults, even "good-naturedly." Calling Simon a "loser" was unnecessary. That epithet may well rebound on her before this is over if she keeps it up. I actually reacted more to the fact that Kimberly allowed Simon and the others to bait her like that when every person that argued with Simon last season lost votes. It showed a pronounced lack of wisdom. Didn't these people pay attention last season?! |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:17 am     I was hoping Jacob would sing better because he's such a cutie. Candice seems like a flake to me (and not in a good way). I voted for Clay and Ruben. Got busy signals for both a few times and got through many times. Kim has a great voice but I think her exchange with Simon hurt her. As a former member of the Journey Fan club, LOL, I was surprised to hear Randy was a member of Journey! It must have been the later years, after their big success, when the band was falling apart and had a rotating door of new members. I loved it that Clay sang an old Journey song. I so hope he advances. |
Essence | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:21 am     As everyone else has stated, I think Clay, Ruben, and Kimberly are the best singers last night. In fact, I think they are the best we've heard from both weeks. Candice and Rebecca were ok, but they wouldn't make it far in the top ten. Ruben and Kimberly had my votes last night, but if Clay were to make it instead of Kim it wouldn't bother me in the least. I'm all for standing up for yourself, and had Kimberly just stopped after an I disagree with you Simon she would have been fine. She should have kept the rest of that to herself. Even at the end when it was going off, Ryan thanked the judges and who do you hear over everyone else...Kimberly yelling Paula and Randy. She couldn't even let it go then. That wasn't cute. If she makes it through (her voice should get her there) she needs to control her outbursts and just suck it up. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:25 am     I think the exchange between Kimberly and Simon did start off as passive agressive joking banter. She crossed a line when she said, "Simon I used to think you were sexy...now I just think you suck." My daughter and I make little notes about each singer and in the margin next to Kimberly's name it said "good voice but big attitude" next to a little picture of a cat. Now she may have drawn the cat to infer that Kim was catty or she could have drawn the cat because she likes to draw cats. Either way, if my 10 year old thinks she saw "attitude" I can guarantee others saw it as well. I wish these singers would pick a name and stick with it. All this name changing confuses me and makes it difficult to connect the dots. If the dot keeps moving around I might just be inclined to skip the damn thing no matter how it effects the big picture. |
Walker | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:27 am     geez frenchie |
Walker | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:34 am     i cant understand why kimberly caldwell didnt make it..she had it all..everything it took to be a superstar..im sure she will make it somehow or another..shes the total package..im not that impressed with any of the rest except for clay. |
Pamy | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:41 am     I really liked that Dora(forget the name)I thought she sang very well. Jacob looks just like my step son so I was really rooting for him, he should get some kind of work out of this, he is too cute!! I also liked Kim, Clay(Mad magazine cover boy) and Ruben |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 08:56 am     Here's a nifty little article type thing on Randy Jackson's involvement with Journey: Randy Journey Jackson |
Pamy | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:23 am     Thanks Weener, I was shocked when he said he was in Journey last nite, I thought he was kidding |
Brenda1966 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:25 am     Weener -- thanks for the link! Interesting reading. Now I'm going to have to dig out my Raised on Radio album and have a good laugh. I'm sure Randy has a good perspective on the industry since he has been an active participant in several areas of it. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 09:35 am     Is it only me? I thought Haddas looked like Tori Spelling with dark hair, and not Sandra Bullock. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:32 am     That article.. well that picture!! They NEED to show that next week.. Simon needs revenge |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:38 am     That picture IS priceless! ROFLMAO! Grooch, sorry, but I did see a Sandra Bullock, not a Tori Spelling resemblance. I'll look again tonight and see if I can spot it. |
Wink | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:40 am     Looks like it's only you so far Grooch. |
Grooch | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:47 am     Thank goodness for Hadas!  |
Webkitty | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 12:04 pm     LOL! That picture! Geeze........... Thanks Wee  |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:17 pm     YAY - Feb 12 elimination show. Anyone else here? JEEZ!! 11 million votes!! |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:18 pm     Simon Cowell on videoscreen. He says he's gone into hiding after last night's pictures. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:20 pm     Me. I am here. Should we create a new folder for this? |
Ryn | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:20 pm     I did |
Kellsma | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:20 pm     I am here waiting for spoiling. It is interesting because I am also listening to Ryan Seacrest right this minute on his afternoon radio show in Los Angeles and supposedly he is live there. Which one is live? Hmmmm |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:24 pm     Kellsma, we've moved. Ryn created a new thread. See you there! (BTW, this show tonight is live. Yesterday was taped.) |
