American Idol 2009.....

[bucsfan67]

sure makes that early on bet that a "male" wins idol look pretty good...i think it was about -130 at one time, before the top 13 started singing....looks like the easiest -130 you'll ever see now..

 

[Bennyshoe]

i would not be surprised if Allison went home for the shock factor. Anoop seems like the easy choice.

 

[bucsfan67]

damn, Archuleta sounds hoarse tonight or something...i liked the kid last year, and he delivered almost every week....but tonight, he doesnt sound too good.....kinda weird song he's singing too, maybe thats it...

 

[barman]

PO, take your insecure vitriol elsewhere

 

[Wrigley]

I think 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals for this years idol are pretty well decided

Gold ..Adam
Silver... Danny
Bronze...Kris

Next week will be interesting for the who leaves between Allison and Matt they might not want to lose there only female left in the conrtest so slight lean toward Matt going next week but if one really bombs next week then that coud change

 

[a153]

Yup 100 percent. As in 0 percent chance. Very well put.

?

?

Hope you bet the house on it. Well done my friend.

 

[PO69]

I cant believe that Gokey is now +475! That is a HUGE move upwards considering that we lost 2 more singers.

I do think that Gokey isnt even in the top 2 singers left though.

 

[bucsfan67]

About time for the final 5 to square off.....


Tonights theme is "Rat Pack Standards"....so should be interesting to see what some of them do with this genre...i could see this actually working for most of them with possibly the exception of Allison.......she might be able to do something like Lena Horne or Etta james.....she has the raspy voice

but the guys have the voices to do Sinatra, Martin, or any of the other crooners from that era......

seems like a light show tonight though with only 5 singing...i was thinking they went to 2 songs each this week, but it doesnt say anything about it....will be alot of "filler" if not

 

[oldmanTED]

Before the show even starts, I am going to predict that Matt will be eliminated this week. Allison being in the bottom three last week was ridiculous. The judges will praise her tonight no matter what and criticize Matt. Next week it will really start getting tough on the eliminations.

Song spoilers for tonight, performance order isn't %100 though.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=txttop>

Matt does not play piano. I say buh bye Matt.

[bucsfan67]

Well i'll be interested to see that then, cuz Allison's song is a great classic song....has been down very well by some great singers....

 

[bucsfan67]

here is when Katherine McPhee sang the same song during season 5....she ended up finishing second and got rave reviews for her version...we'll see how Allison compares...

[bucsfan67]

you can tell already, they are "filling" time.....having 5 performances in the same amount of time where they were having 8 earlier on, means lots of commercials and chatting with the judges....ugh

 

[bucsfan67]

woops, i was expecting the Elton John Classic "something about the way you look tonight" one of my favorite songs......quite a different song that Kris is singing, but the guy does have pipes...

[bucsfan67]

well i think Allison did a GREAT job.....of course, its a great song, but she did it justice......she really can sing...

but then again, i like the raspy voiced singers....Tanya Tucker, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nix, i like that kind of stuff...

 

[billhill999]

Agreed, Allison was the bomb, Matt up next, I'm predicting epic fail.

 

[bucsfan67]

my boy Danny wont be +475 after tonight......



he jsut gave pretty boy Adam something to think about...his best yet

 

[bucsfan67]

well that might have been the best night of music they have had all season, and maybe in a couple of seasons...i gotta say everyone was on top of their game, and no one will be going home cuz they SUCKED tonigth......they'll be going home cuz the others were EVEN better

 

[wiskers1]

i would think allison or matt but can't figure out who it will be
