I didn't like Kelly's song or her appearance much......

.....I had the feeling she was playing at being a recording star, but isn't quite there yet.




Blasphemy!!!!

I agree WCV!!!

Plus, I'm looking forward to actually hearing "Independant Woman" on the radio, since none of the Toronto stations received a copy of "A Moment Like This" - I had to actually go out and buy it (not like I wasn't going to but still!!!)

I just can't understand why so many seem to be down on Carmen. I think that she is really good, considering her age and lack of experience. She may not have the best voice, but she is certainly better than some. Although my favorite is Ruben, I expect Carmen to be in the top four anyhow. It's nice to hear a pure voice and not one full of vocal acrobatics and over-training. (Maybe it's just me, as Clay just doesn't excite me but others love him. He's just too overtrained and rigid for my taste.)

Oh, and to add to my last comment about Clay being overtrained...I know that Ruben is indeed classically trained as he took voice for three years in college, but he has the talent to make it sound like he isn't trying too hard. That's a great quality, IMHO.

I'm not down on Carmen but I do not think she belongs in that group. There is no way that she sings better than Rickey and based on her last performance of "Call Me" I am shocked that Rickey got the boot. I am also surprised because she was the only singer who got negative reviews from all four judges.

I think looking like your trying too hard was Cynthia's problem. If you closed your eyes she didn't sound too bad, but when you watched, it was another story. I don't think Clay is over trained, he's just a crooner. He needs to be standing up with a big ol' 30's microphone and a band behind him. Hopefully he will drop that and loosen up. It's the only way he'll beat Ruben.

I don't remember what thread the question was asked in, but some people asked why Kim Locke was not in the recording studio when they did "God Bless the USA". I just read on Foxes on Idol that she had strep throat and was being quaranteened.

I really like the Ruben and Carmen video, they were so cute, even though it's a car commerical. I think Ruben looked great in Tux, maybe he will wear it in the finale :) I can see why people keep Carmen, she has her own demographic fan base. Also glad the show is back to half hour, so I don't have to tape the Bachelor.

Hobbs, do you mean Julia? Was there a Cynthia I'm forgetting? BTW, I thought Vanessa's voice was really good too. Judging by the way the voting has been going, perhaps I'm tone deaf? ;-)

Yes, hobbs. By the way, I have at least 3 Cavin and Hobbs carton books :) love them, cute.

Thanks, Ladytex!

It's a shame that she missed out on that.

I disagree that Rickey has a better voice than Carmen. Rickey sings a nice falsetto and nothing else. Carmen can do country, pop and yodel.

Sorry I was gone. People came so I had to hide.hobb1

Yes, Eliz87, I meant Julia Demato. I don't know where Cynthia came from. Sometimes I think I have more brains than I know what to do with. hobb2

I don't think Clay is overtrained but I do think he has a tendency to overenunciate. That is the only complaint I have about his singing. Although, if he ever puts out a CD I probably won't need the lyric sheet to understand him.

*sigh*

I'm still outraged at last night's show. I was hesitant to even come here because I didn't want to read all the stuff from the Rickey bashers, but it hadn't been so bad. I will say that the show has to be fixed or somethin' for Trenyce and Carmen not to even be in the bottom 3!!!!!! Carmen sounded worse than "Like A Virgin" Keith! And Trenyce, well, that's a whole other thing. Someone needs to hand her an Extra Value Meal and and ice cream sundae before she evaporates into thin air. No pun intended.

That being said, I'm glad Kim C. is still there and I hope that awesome awesome awesome things happen for Rickey-he deserves it.

One more thing--AMERICA-STOP CALLING PEOPLES LINES TO SEE IF THEY ARE BUSY-IT'S THROWING EVERYTHING OFF!!!!! Carmen needs to be thanking the people that do that. Did you see the look on her face when they said she was safe??!?!!? She was surprised, and for good reason.

Final thought - What was up with Kelly's hair? My hair looks better than that after an all night session of......oh well-you know.

Yes, I'm a little opinionated today.

I am not a huge Ricky fan, but I sure didn't think he deserved to go this week. He performed the best he has so far, IMO. I totally don't get the Carmen thing. To me, the only thing consistant about her is her ability to miss the notes. I think she has potential but hasn't lived up to it for a moment (IMO).

Last weeks votes were carried over and you can see that this week a whole lot of people were in panic mode to get those girls out of the basement (21 million calls!!!!). That's probably what happened to Ricky. Someone with two-three faves, gave up their Ricky votes to ensure one of the girls didn't go and it backfired.

Gotta love that Bandit LOL.

I have no idea what Carmen is still doing there. She is in no way in the same category as any of these others.

I'm really liking all of them, probably because I can't sing to save my life. I was surprised that Ricky was booted but somebody had to go, right? I think they told him ahead of time that he was getting booted and he was given a choice between singing or the good-bye video. I could be wrong but why else would some of the booted singers get to sing one last song and not the others?
I noticed Carmen really trying hard not to tap her hip, I thought that must have been distracting for her.
Kelly's performance was very good and I still love her voice. Way to go Kelly!!
