Booth · 04-22-03, 07:41 PM

FYI - Here are last week's poll results:

Contestant	Votes	Percent
Kimberly Locke	18	26.47%
Clay Aiken	16	23.53%
Ruben Studdard	12	17.65%
Joshua Gracin	8	11.76%
Kimberly Caldwell	7	10.29%
Trenyce	4	5.88%
Carmen Rasmusen	3	4.41%

Once again, we correctly picked the bottom three but were off on the official bootee (Kimberly Caldwell).

All in all, we are doing better at picking these than many of the other internet communities.

Diane Warren's coming out of her cave for a personal appearance? I hope her analysis is as insightful as her music.

God that's terrible. Why am I watching this??

Mopower · 04-22-03, 08:07 PM

Wow, Kimberly Locke sucked.

tommyp007 · 04-22-03, 08:08 PM

Kim L. starting off with a James Bond song. It's all downhill from here. "I don't want to hear a thing"

JonTurner · 04-22-03, 08:08 PM

Even Simon liked that??? I haven't watched much of AI, but that was the worst performance I've seen so far.

Mopower · 04-22-03, 08:09 PM

Hey, Diane Warren's is the type of crap that sells.

JonTurner · 04-22-03, 08:14 PM

woah - damn... I thought Edwin McCain wrote that - and I like that song.

Mopower · 04-22-03, 08:15 PM

I wish they would get rid of the background vocals. You can hardly hear them sing.

db27 · 04-22-03, 08:20 PM

simon nailed it with clay, broadway is where he belongs, he is no idol.

JonTurner · 04-22-03, 08:31 PM

vote him off - he's the man, yes, he's the man - but he need to be gone, gone. (Josh)

db27 · 04-22-03, 08:40 PM

carmen should yodel with jewel, i can't stand her vibrating vox

bleh

tommyp007 · 04-22-03, 08:49 PM

Sheesh...not one performance worth voteing for....I'll just go back and vote for Clay by habit

db27 · 04-22-03, 08:51 PM

Ruben will win.

mcbg1 · 04-22-03, 08:56 PM

Anyone knows what Simon said when Ryan was with Simon's girlfriend and then Simon told Ryan " Where's ... Ryan seemed pretty embarassed after. Did he tell a guy's name or something ?

What?

Gallant Pig · 04-22-03, 09:00 PM

Josh was the worst, Carmen was better than last week but 2nd last this week. Trenyce was subpar.

This is a race between Ruben, Kim, and Clay. I think the final 2 will be Ruben and Kim though.

Tom Banjo · 04-22-03, 09:03 PM

My picks for bottom 3:
1. Carmen
2. Josh
3. Kim L.

I think Trenyce is under-rated.

Before announcing Josh, Ryan was in the audience with Simon's girlfriend. They came near the judge's panel and Simon said to Ryan Where's ( I didn't hear what came after ). Then Ryan seemed very embaressed and had a nervous laugther. Anyway if someone knows what I'm talking about help me out please.

PS : I just watched Kim L and Frenchie's performance on Band Of Gold and this was hands down the best performance on AI2. It's such a shame Frenchie got disqualified, she would have kicked butts.

MrHappyToes · 04-22-03, 09:15 PM

Josh and Carmen sucked. Please send one of them home tomorrow.

I didn't think Ruben was very good--he didn't even sing half the time he was up there. But why am I not surprised that the judges drooled all over him? Whatever.

And it doesn't matter how well Kim sings, she doesn't stand a chance at winning this competition. She doesn't have the personality. I'd give her about a 4 and a half.

It sounded like he said "Arthur." I was really surprised because there was an article in the current Entertainment Weekly about Simon, Ryan, and Randy getting out of hand with these type of jokes. The article stated that the producers were putting a stop to this humor because of complaints from GLAAD.

das Monkey · 04-22-03, 09:23 PM

God, that was bad on all levels. Thank God they waited this late in the competition for the Diane Warren episode ... I don't think I could have taken any more cookie-cutter "our love will last forever" crap.

das

P.S. It sounded like Arthur to me too.

Charlie Goose · 04-22-03, 09:31 PM

Feh. Not a great week. Even my main 205 dawg didn't impress me.

Josh was the worst. He really should've been thrown out weeks ago when he did a miserable rendition of "Celebration".

Honk!

Josh-da-man · 04-22-03, 09:39 PM

Is it just me, or do the song choices just... suck?

Look at the last two shows... Diane Warren and Billy Joel.

Now, Billy Joel has done a few good songs, but I just find him to be mostly mediocre. But nobody did "Uptown Girl" or "Only the Good Die Young?"

Diane Warren bores elevators.
