Just watched the premier episode and I already have 2 favourites! Kristly Lee Cook and Brooke White! thumbup.gif
I hope they both make it to the top 12! biggrin.gif
Anyway, this has to be one of the best audition episode I've seen in awhile with a good mix of laughter and talent. I can't wait for Texas tomorrow! biggrin.gif

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Jan 17 2008, 12:58 AM)
KLC already look smokin. When Carrie came in, I didn't even notice her tongue.gif

But Brooke White. Damn she's already married! I want to have your babies XD
*
I did but I must admit that KLC is a real looker tongue.gif

Anyway, Ben Haar was doh.gif and so was that stalker guy. Did you hear the lyrics? doh.gif

wah this is the best AI audition i ever seen full of laughters on the bloody losing contestants and dumb dressing ones too. doh.gif

KLC style is exactly like carrie underwood. i wont be surprise if she can win this year AI title. thats 2 country singer winning the title 2 years in a row. rclxms.gif

aww and pity that emo fat girl until the 3 judges must teman her out of the hall and send praise 2 her parents saying she did very great 2 went this far. how sweet eh? laugh.gif

also another favourite of mine is the patriotic rock chick wannabe showing lame victory sign and shoot a lot of  F**K bombs on the camera behind the judges after not make it 2 hollywood. DUH! doh.gif i seriously find the patriotic chick more funny and stupid than the star wars ala princess leila immitation chick. laugh.gif

i think there is a lot more stupid moments but these are the most i can remember ah so far. i cant wait 2 see whats in stores 4 us in texas. cool.gif
*
I can definitely see the similarities with Carrie and I do hope she sticks to her Country roots. smile.gif

Anyway, the last 3 winners were:
Season 4 - Carrie
Season 5 - Taylor
Season 6 - Jordin

So, it's not 2 country singers in a row yeah? smile.gif
And yes, I do hope she can go far this season, at least the top 6. I'll be rooting for KLC! biggrin.gif

I know Nostalgia likes KLC but sorry, I am rooting for Brooke White. Her voice very sweet and her personality matches it. She's got the voice, the looks and the personality. And it's time we have had a folk/Christian-pop singer in Idol smile.gif
*
Yeah I'm supporting KLC but I really wanna see Brooke do well this season because she does have a great package (voice, looks and personality) and it would be a shame if she gets booted off too early. smile.gif

QUOTE(ellimist @ Jan 17 2008, 09:59 PM)
"We Are Brothers Forever." was my favourite performance of the day.No seriously,I enjoyed it XD

Edit: On a more serious note,the girl who can do the voice impersonation (and does a mean Britney one laugh.gif) is really good. Another one to look out for
*
Yeah, it was definitely the most entertaining performance for me. And I couldn't stop laughing at the judges' antics. They were hilarious as hell! laugh.gif

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Jan 17 2008, 11:27 PM)
Randy was funny but Paula was over the top lah. She spoilt the fun. So fugly. Simon makes me laugh lah. XD
*
Yeah, Simon was making me laugh throughout that performance and they even edited one of the scenes with the "ray of light" around Simon! laugh.gif
Actually, Paula was quite funny with her dances although it was a bit over the top. laugh.gif


Anyway, it seems we missed out on Carly Hennessy, supposedly the singer with a professional background.

Not sure but anyway, how can they make her cry? I mean I think Simon was referring to Brooke when he said to Paula "Come on Paula, you are torturing this girl!" Simon's right. I mean, Paula's just jealous that Brooke's so beautiful even without the makeup.  shakehead.gif

But anyway, my favourites so far:

1) Brooke White [of course tongue.gif]
2) The Irish tattoo parlor
3) The guy with voice problem who sang John Mayer during the audition stage
4) The Aussie who sang Bryan Adams

Thank God the damn Latino guy who kissed Paula like mad got kicked out. Hate that fella.
*
Hmm..Let's just keep our fingers crossed that she will make it into the top 24 okay? biggrin.gif
Yeah, Paula was jealous of Carrie too during season 4. Some of her comments were doh.gif shakehead.gif

My favourites so far:

1/2) Kristy Lee [She didn't do too well but Carrie wasn't great too during the Hollywood round. IIRC, she also forgotten parts of the lyrics ! tongue.gif ] & Brooke White [Can't get enough of this girl! smile.gif ]
3) 16 year old David who sang Bryan Adam's Heaven
4) The Aussie guy/The Irish girl

Yeap, I hate that latino guy too but it seems he gets along with the ladies really well! doh.gif
Good to see Amy Flynn (The girl who talks about abstinence) and the homecoming queen being cut. They can't really sing IMO.

4) The Aussie, Michael Johns

Yeah, Colbie would suit Brooke and Kristy can sing something from Taylor Swift [Cold As You or Teardrops On My Guitar would be great] smile.gif

Agree with the two bolded points. It's amazing how Nostalgia manages to do it tongue.gif

Brooke>KLC.

Thanks but it's not that tough really. Maybe you need some ginkgo. It helps boost one's memory! tongue.gif
J/K lah smile.gif

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Feb 21 2008, 07:00 PM)
Agree with Simon on KLC's song choice. You'd expect someone like Jennifer Hudson to sing that song. But KLC's a good sport, taking everything in her stride.

Haha, you should see the plus-size model's parents and their faces. They looked at Simon like they want to kill him. But I agree with Simon's assessment.

Alaina Witakher (sp?) looks hot tongue.gif But, I don't really like her. : / Her songs are boring.

Amanda @ Janis Joplin soundalike really makes me LOL. She looks like one of the aunties in Sabrina The Teenage Witch doh.gif But I loved her energetic performance.

Is there something wrong with Brooke's hands? Can't she hold the mic? A bit disappointed by her performance. My two favs (Brooke and KLC) sound mediocre. sad.gif Wasn't it yesterday that I just heard "Happy Together" as well? At least there's humor in the comments. laugh.gif
*
Yeah, I agreed with Simon that KLC's choice of song was poor. I really didn't expect her to sing an upbeat song but at least she accepted the judges' criticisms gracefully unlike Kady Malloy. She was so pissed when Simon was giving his opinion on her performance. nod.gif

Is Brooke a tad pale or is it just me? I was abit disappointed with her performance but I liked her conversation with Simon though. Funny as hell! biggrin.gif

My 2 fav girls (KLC and BW) wasn't at their best sad.gif but at least they will be singing again next week.

Anyway, who here thinks Danny Noriega is ghey? laugh.gif

Brooke was superb again last night!!! And that makes it 3 great performances for the past 3 weeks! biggrin.gif
Besides Brooke, Carly also impressed me and I was surprised with Chikeze's performance although I don't really like him! tongue.gif

*
Heh, I guess I just didn't expect that from her but you're right, the pics were nothing special tongue.gif
Yeah, I don't think it's possible to start any song with such an arrangement. I think she's taking the judge's advice a bit too seriously lah imo.

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Mar 13 2008, 01:59 PM)
Like I said, there's something that was shouted at Hernandez yesterday. Whether it had an effect, anyone knows how to check?!

The fact that Kristy could still stay despite sucking so bad means that she has quite a fan base. If she does solidly in the coming weeks, she could be a dark horse but seriously, buck up! Anything will be an improvement from yesterday doh.gif And why didn't she sing What Goes On (from Rubber Soul)? That sounds more country than any of the other Beatles song.

kobe- doesn't care who goes home because he knows Carly, Brooke, Jason (or rocker nurse), the two Davids and Michael will be in the top six.  laugh.gif
*
Yeah, if Kristy could deliver a few solid performances in the coming weeks, her ratings will definitely increase. I actually think she's taking the judges' advice of going country a little too seriously. nod.gif

Anyway, Brooke and Carly should go far! rclxms.gif rclxm9.gif


P.S To those who wish to post the results, please use the spoiler tag. Some of us here still wants to watch it on TV. Thanks. smile.gif

Actually she was pretty good. It was a bona fide Americana song, which I dont really mind (though when Ryan announced it I thought she was going to sing the even more awesome God Bless America song instead...which unfortunately is a 1918 piece)
*
Yeah, I agree she was pretty good considering how poor her performances were the past few weeks. I was more familiar with God Bless America instead of .."The USA" though but it sounded great nonetheless.

With next week's theme most likely to be Country, Lee Cook will have her chance to prove herself again. I'm still unsure why Randy and Simon didn't like Carly's performance as I thought it was good and it wasn't an easy to song to sing. hmm.gif

Anyway, I would like to remind you guys to please use the spoiler tags when posting the results ! Thanks smile.gif

KLC has a good back story - selling the pony to get to the Finals but nothing more.

kobe- thinks that Brooke looks awesome with straight hair XD

No she doesn't! Like I've said it before, the curls baybeh, the curls! Just like the one she had during the auditions. biggrin.gif
At least she's lost the stripe shirts now. tongue.gif

For me, I really like it when she plays an instrument during her performances and it usually turns out great whenever she does. She had keyboards in the Hollywood round, guitar for "You're So vain" and piano for "Let It Be" and "Every Breath You Take" and those performance were really good! I guess I just like this style of hers. Go Brooke! biggrin.gif

Oh, which Grey's Anatomy actress appeared? Ellen Pompeo? unsure.gif
Must've missed her but I did spot Danny with Ramiele's family.

David Archuleta's dad loses 'American Idol' backstage pass
QUOTE
By LYNN ELBER, AP Television Writer  Sat May 10, 3:45 AM PDT

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Backstage meddling has caught up "American Idol" favorite David Archuleta's dad, who's been banned from rehearsals, a person working for the TV talent contest said Friday.

Jeff Archuleta was told this week by producers that he can no longer join 17-year-old son as David as he prepares for the show, the person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The person wasn't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The show's action was first reported Friday by the online Web site TMZ.

David Archuleta of Murray, Utah, is one of three contestants left as the top-rated Fox show heads toward the Jan. 20-21 finale. The fresh-faced teenager with the big voice has consistently been deemed a front-runner by the judges and been a consistent fan favorite.

Jeff Archuleta's intense backstage involvement had become a source of concern for the series, the person connected with "American Idol" said -- but it was a lyric change on Tuesday's show that pushed producers to act.

Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta insisted on altering "Stand by Me," one of two songs his son sang on the show Tuesday. By adding a verse from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls," the father incurred additional costs for "American Idol," the person said.

Fox declined comment. Attempts to reach Jeff Archuleta for comment were unsuccessful. A phone number listed under his name in Murray, Utah, was no longer in service, and Fox did not immediately respond to a request Friday evening for help in contacting the family.

Earlier Friday, David Archuleta was honored at a hometown celebration held at his high school in Murray, during which Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman declared "David Archuleta Day."

The singer and his family declined to be interviewed at the event, but David Archuleta did speak with the Salt Lake City Fox affiliate, KSTU-TV. "Wow," he exclaimed as he viewed the cheerleading squad outside his stretch limousine.

The other finalists left in competition for the "Idol" title and a record contract are David Cook and Syesha Mercado. Cook, a native of suburban Blue Springs, Mo., had his own homecoming celebration Friday in Kansas City, while Mercado was feted Bradenton, Fla.

I was wondering how did "Beautiful Girls" came up during his performance as it was quite unlike David A.
