Puttergirl | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:39 pm     I'm switching back and forth between it and FAME!! Where is Ryan?? |
Kizz | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:43 pm     I missed why he said he's not there, with all this switching back and forth |
Essence | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:45 pm     I didn't see the beginning, so I don't know either. |
Essence | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Tory received the highest number of votes this week. |
Essence | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:47 pm     Jordan, Chantal, Lucy all made it through. |
Essence | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:52 pm     Ruben is on now. Woo Hoo!!! |
Essence | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 05:56 pm     Tonights group: Tory Jordan Chantal Lucy Taylor |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 06:04 pm     I am so glad both sisters made it. It is heartbreaking to watch the faces of the kids,especially the last six just hoping to hear their name called. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 06:09 pm     It was nice to see them put the talent through tonight. Chantal and Lucy are amazing as well as Tory, they all have powerful voices.. Jordon and Taylor have nice pretty voices. I think the only other one that had much of a voice was the Brendon kid. The rest have nice voices but they need to grow and I think will be good in time. |
Cinder | Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 06:36 pm     They never said why Ryan was not there- just that he couldn't be there. I have to admit, I was crying I thought both of the sisters might not make it- and watching Tori crying for her sister. No boys made it through tonight. |
Realmom | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 12:53 am     Maybe we are going to end up with a girl group--only 3 boys! I was fine with the group that went through tonight. I was a little bit surprised that Taylor made it through with Tori. Then, again, I am not surprised. I don't think I would have voted for one without voting for the other. Bet those parents were relieved! It is one thing when the older one is picked because you can always tell the younger one, "She's older than you. Your time will come." However, when the younger one beats out the older one, the older one knows it has to be because the younger one is more talented. Ouch! Hard to take when you are 11. I'm going to stick my neck out and make a prediction about the final group: A.J., Chauncey, Katelyn, Danielle, and Tori. (I do think there is a possibility that Taylor will ride on Tori's coattails because, again, nobody wants to cause ill will between sisters.) I wouldn't mind seeing Jordan in the group, but I don't know if she can beat her competition. I also think that Lucy and Chantal may give Katelyn a run for her money, but Katelyn has "The Look." |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 05:12 am     I will predict too, A.J, Lucy, Chantal, Danielle and Tori. |
Texasdeb | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 07:12 am     I see AJ being the only boy in the group. I think the 4 girls will depend on how they hold up from now on. I still haven't voted. Morgan needs to go next just because he doesn't strike me as "group" material. |
Realmom | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 12:00 pm     I'm still lost as to the target audience for the chosen group. Lucy and Chantal are mature looking 13 yo's (maybe they are closer to 14). Are they going to want to sing in a group with 9 and 11 yo's? Who will be the fanbase? I'm guessing maybe 6-12 yo's. If I were almost 14, that wouldn't thrill me much. I think the best thing for these kids, and probably the main reason they are in this competition, is exposure. It may play out that those who stay in for awhile, but don't make the group will have a better future than those who end up under contractual obligation to Simon Cowell's company. |
Hobbs | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 12:10 pm     I don't think I'll ever figure out the voting on this or any other show. When I pick in a poll based on talent, it seems that something else is used to choose. Then I switch to using some other popularity method and they go to talent. WELL I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I'm going with talent from now on. I would have had a sweep last night if I had used talent only. I thought the best won. Realmom & Ll, what order do you think the top 5 will be? I think Tori will be first. That kid has talent and is cute as a button. She has movie star written all over her!! Hmmm, might be a good bonus question for Puttergirls poll. Top 5 and in what order. |
Texasdeb | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 02:30 pm     I too think Tori is going into the group (1st pick) next wk unless something happens & she really has a bad showing. |
Puttergirl | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 04:08 pm     Thanks for the idea, Hobbs. I think I will do that as a bonus question. Look to the POLL later tonight. |
Realmom | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 08:56 pm     Hobbs, I don't really think I can guess the order. If Tori and Chauncy were the top vote getters in their groups, it would make sense that they would move on first. I guess it depends if there were more people voting on one or the other of the nights. Outside of that, I'd say that A.J. will be the second or third to move to the group, but a lot is riding on their performances. I saw Tori and Taylor being interviewed on Entertainment Tonight. Tori is as cute as a button--has those twinkly eyes. One of the things I found interesting is that they showed a clip from last night and as Gladys Knight was about to announce the fifth person, they showed the group and Taylor made a slight start to get up before her name was announced. Wonder if they told the kids the fifth winner during the commercial break or if Taylor was that confident? They asked Tori if she thought she and Taylor would make it into the group, and she said she thought they would either both make it or both not make it. I think she is smart and has figured out the voting public won't split the sisters. |
Texasdeb | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 09:22 pm     Or, maybe has the "stage mom" told her that they won't split the sisters. Tori stands out - but, sister, Taylor is holding her own IMO. W/O Tori, I would still have Taylor where she is - She IS NOT riding any coat strings. This Taylor girl has her own talent! I may just vote next wk to keep this Ms. Taylor young lady in! |
Hobbs | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 06:42 am     Realmom, I think the reason Taylor got up is the way Gladys announced her as the winner. She said something like, "Will Taylor join the group with her sister Tori?" Well you knew at that point the answer was yes. She couldn't have said "No. The fifth person is..." It would have been awful. Mrs. Hobbs and I both noticed that when it happened. Puttergirl, I'm glad to help. I've got another one for you if you want it. Hobbs is thinking of a number between 1 and 1000. Guess what it is. 1 point to play. 500 if you get within 10 and 1000 points if you guess it. I figure it's the only way I'll win won of these polls!

Realmom | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 11:14 am     Thanks, Hobbs. When they showed the clip last night it was without sound, just voiceover from the E Tonight host, then sound when Gladys announced it. I had forgotten the way it went down. That makes sense and you are probably right. Within this group of 10, I think Taylor was one of the better ones and likely would have been picked for the 5 even if Tori wasn't there. I'm not so sure that will be the case when the new ten start competing together--there are some really strong older kids. |
Llkoolaid | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 07:45 pm     Hobbs, I too get confused about why some people vote the way they do. I can't explain why Chauncey is there, maybe because he is a sweet kid but his voice is weak. Morgan is a show off and I don't think he should be there. The rest are good picks but I think they left 2 good girls behind in the first week. So what did people vote for cutes or talent. I give up too, I am guessing by talent from now on. I haven't a clue who will be picked first but since Chancey and Tori had the most votes it might be one of them. I am going with AJ because I think he is the only boy with talent to stay with the top girls. I don't think the sisters will be separated so I think my prediction above will be wrong by 1. I don't think Taylor is as good as the other girls that I picked and I can't decide which one I think will go if she makes it. They are all so good and so much better than Fame. |
Puttergirl | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 05:13 pm     Nobody watching? So far- A.J. and Katelyn have performed and they both did well. Jordan now. I think she's weak compared to the first two. |
Tess | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 06:03 pm     I just finished watching and I agree about Jordan. Question is, how to pick just one to go into the group. I don't think I can do it. I think the music track was a little too loud on some of the songs. I'm going to watch my tape later tonight before deciding who gets my vote for this week. |
Kizz | Tuesday, July 01, 2003 - 06:26 pm     I think FOX did this show a great disservice by initially promoting the "insane stage parents" angle...I think it turned many people off and this show really has nothing to do with all of that nonsense. These kids are SO GOOD, and its a shame more people aren't watching (the show was only ranked 20th last week). AJ gets my vote tonight, but he only broke the eight way tie because I'm a homer. Still I think one of the girls, most likely Tori, will advance (even though tonight wasn't one of her better performances IMO). |
