I can see why Ford is in trouble. That was a commercial to sell cars, right? Even though Season one was pure amateur hour in terms of production values for the commercials, at least they were trying to sell cars.

I picked KLC but the DVDTalk bottom was pretty far off :lol:

Yeah, sucked that all 3 had to sing again. :down:

Looks like more Lennon/McCartney to come. I wonder if David A is in a panic yet.

Just when we thought we dodged the ultra-sappy vocal run-filled AI perversions of "Yesterday" and "Long and Winding Road" ... -rolleyes-

I wouldn't worry about David A. The technicians will have had all week to work on his programming. Though it doesn't look like the glitch where his tongue shoots out every few seconds like a lizard is going to be addressed.

He'll go back to a sappy ballad (probably one of the above, or maybe something like "Blackbird"). The fantards will scream/weep. Randy will proclaim "He's back, dawg!". Paula will cry and fight the urge to squish his head off. And all will be right in the universe once more.

Though he'll earn my vote if he completely snaps and just repeats "number nine ... number nine" over and over.

it's evolved from "Ford car commercial" to "American Idol music video... sponsored by Ford"

That and the fact that he BREATHES like Tony Soprano while singing drive me fucking crazy...I don't know how the judges haven't brought it up.

aka Pimpmercial!

Actually it was funny when it started, I got excited and yelled out "Pimpmercial!" and then my 3 year old repeated it. :lol:

BTW, could Ryan Seacrest have been more obvious about not answering the call from the 50 year old woman? He kept skipping to another call. I guess he wanted to make sure they appealed to that desired 18-49 demo.

QFT. He's been doing this since he was on Star Search a few years ago...

It's funny because I was thinking about this myself... that the Idol producers were sitting around after the contestants picked their songs, grumbling "They didn't pick the ones we wanted them to!!!!"

Oh, and wasn't it funny how they showed Carly's husband, but with no lights?

"Carly's Husband and Friends" and they were sitting in the dark so you couldn't see his tattoo face. :lol:

I keep thinking that Chikeze is the bastard love child of Forest Whitaker and Gary Coleman.

They can show Brooke White's hubby all they want! He is a cutie!!!

rotfl

Please don't take any more phone calls. That idea was total shit.

WTF has show turned into? Jeez almighty. Crappy phone calls now?

I've been saying the thing about Archuleta's breathing since I first saw him. He also licks his lips constantly.

If Amanda Overmeyer doesn't go soon, I might be done with this show. She has absolutely no talent whatsoever. I'm sorry. Just because you have a voice that might resemble Janis to a guy that's partially deaf and only heard her once doesn't mean you can sing. God, she's annoying.

It'll all be worth it if during a live broadcast someone types out a "safe" question like: "What's your favorite song of all time?!?!?". Only to change it up when on the phone live and ask something like: "Hey David (Hernandez) ... I heard you were a gay stripper. What's up with that?!?" (sadly the window has closed to ask him directly). Or ask Randy how he (and AI in general) can be impartial judging Carly when he was guy who signed her to MCA in the first place (and the CD was loaded with AI-related people). Or get one-on-one with David Archuleta, and ask whether his lizard tongue is inherited from his mother or his father.

I'd be shocked if the folks at VFTW weren't actively planning something like this. All it takes is just one these to slip through! :)

If that is another way of getting more females to vote for Brooke, I'm all for it.

It bears repeating, as mentioned in last week's thread - he suffers from the same rare illness as LL Cool J, where his lips taste like cookie dough.

Ta-ta Mr. Hernandez.

Is it just me or does Hernandez have a striking resemblance to that Girls Gone Wild perv Joe Francis:

I love Brooke. She is the anti-Katherine McPhee. Her passion for her music is so evident and her connection to the audience is apparent. Simon was dead on with the point of separating pure talent from karoke performances. Let It Be could have easily been done in a karoke way, but her performance was amazing. No hype, no promotion, just pure talent.

Couldn't agree with you more!

The lady has what separates stars from just singers. She can emote and communicate feelings when she sings. You can see it in her face and feel it in her voice -- you get drawn in.

If it wasn't for the brainless Archuletta zombies out there, I think she would easily win this competition.

I read that Randy Jackson was boasting somewhere that they lined up Mariah Carey to be a "mentor" this season. I really hope that doesn't mean a night of nothing but Mariah Carey covers. If so, I may have to take a pass on that episode. Though seeing Amanda try to do a Mariah Carey song might make it worthwhile.

My wife and I picked her from the San Diego(?) audition. She was the last person to sing, right after Star Wars Girl and we thought her voice was fantastic from the start.

That'd be interesting... are there any Mariah Carey songs that a guy could sing?

As far as Brooke goes... she's had talent from the start, I agree with that, but she didn't look like a front runner until three weeks ago, which is when Simon jumped aboard. Usually in AI, you see the cream rise very very early. The only other time I can think of was season 1, when I didn't really think Kelly Clarkson was going to win it until a few episodes in (and what a relief that turned out to be for the show... imagine if instead of Clarkson, Sideshow Bob had been the season 1 winner...)
