This is gonna get exciting! Not sure who I really like yet, besides-nevermind, the site is being stupid right now so I can't look him up:grumpy:, but he sang Bohemian Rhapsody last night. Not sure who else.

Who else is watching?

I was in tears a couple of times tonight watching it. I felt really, really badly for Josiah Leming...I so wanted him to get through (he's the 18-yr-old who was living in his car). Dang.

The guy who sang Bohemian Rhapsody...I think that was Michael Johns...the Australian fellow. He did that song incredibly well, considering the original singer was Freddy Mercury...and I thought this guy did it almost as good. Yep, I've got my eye on him too. He's good-looking and has a great voice.

Yes! Josiah! That poor thing. I felt terrible for him.

Yep, Michael Johns, thanks! I'm horrible at remembering names.

Well, even without AI, this kid will be going places - and he writes his own songs. Check out Josiah on Youtube:

Amazing...18 yrs old

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Thanks for sharing that, cool! It sent my son on a rampage to play his guitar for me.

 

[Michaela]

Just watched it, there's another episode tomorrow. Just cannot get into it at all. It's not good this year.:? Over there do you see them both on the same night or what?

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Michaela, it's been on two nights here too. This week it was two hours the first night, then last night was an hour. Previous to this week it has also been two nights for auditions each week. Not sure if next week will be two nights though.

I'm impressed so far with most of them. I must say they are better then some of the past Idol contestants.

I heart Michael John's accent. That's all I have to say. And I'm done professing my love to "American Idol" contestants for the night. Lucky you!

Me too! (The emot I wanted to use isn't in the thing for some stupid reason:grumpy:.)

Michael John was who I was waiting to see tonight. Not thrilled he did Light My Fire again, but was good.

I also like Robbie, David H David C and David A-too many David's, they should've changed some of their names.

Can't wait for the girls tomorrow night!

 

[HoneyPot]

Did you guys SEE David Archuleta last night??? Oh My God!! I had goosebumps and at the end I think I actually said "oh my god" out loud when he was done. LOL. I have chills just thinking about it - he is SO good.

And as a Lennon fan... wow.. so good!!

I really like him, Nadia. I liked Michael Johns til last night when he messed up big time. So, now I like Robbie.

For the girls, I thought Brooke did really well tonight.

 

[SOOOSKA]

I totally agree with you Nadia, for a 17 year WOW. Even Simon was impressed and that's not really easy to impress him.

I really hope he wins but I find sometimes the public goes against what the judges say.

Robbie + David = :inlove:

Those are my guys. The girls are pretty good, but I never really cared much for female singers, I don't know why.

Thoughts on Top 12, Top 11?

Don't wanna discuss til Saturday, as some get it later than we do. So, your thoughts?

I'll add mine this weekend.

 

[SOOOSKA]

I totally agree with who was kicked off. If you ask me he should have been kicked off when all the stuff about his striping came out. Just like what they did with Frenchie a few years ago.

I still like that 17 year old David. He's a real cutie. However I heard his father is a real A?? Hole.

So who does everyone think will win? My bet is on David Cook taking the entire thing.His voice and style reminds me very much of Chris Daughtry...very powerful, very entertaining.

Actually I agree with what they've been saying; that this year's finalists are some of the best yet. Chikezie is probably going to do extremely well (loved his last performance!), as is David Archuleta (provided he picks better songs for himself next time round). And Jason Castro...is anyone else reminded of a young John Travolta when they watch him? His face, his eyes...I dunno, he reminds me of him. Just watch him the next time he sings and see if you see it. Oh, and I love his voice too...and he happened to pick one of my favorite Beatle songs to do as well.

As for David Hernandez (lol, you're right...too many Davids!), I didn't like his voice or style at all...he reminded me of - as Simon might put it - a second-rate cheesy cabaret singer at best. I was surprised he made it as far as he did.

As for the women, I really like Brooke White; she comes across as a really sweet person with a huge likeability factor, and a unique singing style. Ramiele Malubay...powerful voice! And she's so tiny; she looks to be about my size. Carly Smithson is very impressive too. Amanda Overmyer has a great Janis Joplin quality...geez, they're all great! So far I'm really enjoying this season.

(hehe...I cheated and had to look up half the names online; my memory isn't good enough to remember all of them. )

 

[Bassetluv]

Well, for the first time this season I think they got it wrong. And I must have weird musical taste, because I totally disagreed with what the judges thought of Michael Johns' performance the other night. When I watched him sing I thought he really nailed that song (Dream On). Yet he was critiqued as having chosen the wrong song, and of not doing a very good job on it. I really thought that he'd be in it for at least the next three weeks or so.

Ah well...

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

I agree with you Bassetluv, I was a bit shocked. He'll have a nice career though, making it this far. I think David Cook will win too, love him. He reminds me of Daughtery too.

I don't really think it's fair that Carly has had a record deal prior to this though:?.

And I didn't like Jason the other night at all, was surprised the judges did.

 

[Bassetluv]

Oh, I actually did like Jason the other night - maybe because he did the version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" that I love. Yet I didn't care for David Archuleta's performance while everyone else did. "Angels" is one of my favorite Robbie Williams songs, and I just didn't like the way he sang it. Go figure. :dunno (See, this is why I'd never get to be an American Idol judge. Well, that and the fact that Simon's prettier than me. )
