LabattBlue Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I can't believe Yamin is still around. It is painful to watch him and if you close your eyes and just listen, his performances all sound the same and were boring after week 1. The judges pimping him week after week, have definitely helped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30dive Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Some oral surgeon here in Richmond has offered to take care of his dental "needs" for free! He is one ugly dude. But hell just a few months ago he was serving folks in my neighborhood coffee and the days egg special at the Westbury Pharmacy. I've said it before, IMHO, he is not "the" American Idol, but his voice is much better than those of you who hate him think and his story is a pretty good one.

Mediaman Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ok, so I've noticed this several times this season, but tonight I was able to prove this theory to myself. During the recaps they are not showing the actual performances that the idols did a few minutes earlier. My take is that they are using the dress rehearsel footage for various reasons. I just watched Spazz's recap and then backed up the tivo to the last song and it was a little different. Even in the camera spin around the judges desks are manned by others and not Randy and company. My take is that they rehearse infront of a studio audience, but keep the judges out so they give an honest opinion. I would imagine for editing purposes its easier to take the rehearsal footage and compile the recap earlier in the night then to do it as the show is airing live. Anyone else notice.

LabattBlue Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Spaz & McFunbags should make for an interesting final(especially if Paula is drunk or high again ). Yamin needs to go home. He is boring beyond belief and will make for a lackluster finale. Like the slip that someone had a couple of weeks ago, I had to watch myself several times, as the urge to to use the term "McFunbags" as I watch with my wife and daughter is great.

He did great on that as well. 692774[/snapback] Funny you say that, but right before they anounced his song, I told my wife "I hope they give him something to really get his tard on, like Joe freakin Cocker." We were in hysterics after they said he was singing "you are so beautiful". Unfortunately he didn't get his tard on at all. I thought a minimum of 3 tard arm movements, along with at least 20 seconds of full on tard dancing and one huge tard floor flop really would have done some justice but we had to settle for the heart felt performance.

USMCBillsFan Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think the judges (Randy and Paula) are trying to push hard for a Spaz and Yamin final. They have been way too hard on Kat the last few weeks and I think she's the best of the rest. They sit and drop on everyone for being too "karaoke" but Spaz sounds karaoke every time he sings. Nobody will buy his album or Yamin's.... Idol lost out huge when Chris went home IMHO. I don't vote, but I watch and I will buy Chris's cd when it comes out. I think there's no doubt the show is rigged and Kat will be the unfortunate victim this week. F-U Randy with your ghetto wanna be ass and Paula who's one snort away from heart failure. Thank God for Simon who is the only true voice of reason and the only one who seems to support Kat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, I really don't see this as being fixed, at least when it comes to the voting, do I think the judges push for one thing or another, hell yes, but the results are the results (IMHO). Here is the thing, spend one day in Richmond Virginia, this town could have a bomb go off and Elliot would lead the news, local radio this morning is talking to people that voted over 600 times last night. This my friends is a popularity contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when they're down to 3 or so, it appears they use only the dress rehearsal footage, because there isn't enough time to compile the recap footage from the live performances.

Kat is more than just "another singer". She is probably the only one left on the show who's throat can qualify as a true musical instrument. She is certainly not perfect but has great control, range, sings in key, has soul, falsetto voice, and tonal quality. This is from a long time musician and singer with a very critical ear for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 It's time for Elliott to go, his luck has carried him much further than it should have. I believe that Taylor will be the next American Idol. That's just a guess on my part, and also he has never been in the bottom 3. Katharine could still win it all. She has been one of the stronger performers this season. There were a couple of times where she was not at her best, but she has never been terrible. I do'nt think that many people realise or appreciate how strong of a voice she has.

Rico Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think McFunbags may have some vocal chops but her sense of timing and phrasing is horrible.

Elliot was lacking (IMO) in the tonal quality and dynamics departments, while Chris still needed to find a voice other than what has already been done by the lead singer from the band Live. Kat may have fell short on pitch for one or two quick moments during the whole competition, so I'd give her that considering all the other qualities.

The good news is Spaz lives for another week. He needs to raise his "spaz" level higher than it has ever been before. GO SPAZ!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
