Speaking of TV addictions...........Emily has "Fresh Prince", and her mom has "American Idol"! I really don't watch much TV at all ("Roseanne" reruns and "Deal or No Deal", but have been totally addicted to AMERICAN IDOL for the past 4 seasons.
I'm LOVING this season!!! Bad thing is I'm already at that point where I'm "attached" to almost all the contestants and don't want them to have to go!
Any other Idol addicts??

I felt exactly the same way Allisa.........Kevin has a great voice and seems like the BEST kid!!! But, just not my idea of an "American Idol". Now, I'm ready for Bucky to hit the road. I love ACE and Taylor, and several of the girls!
2 years ago, I used to go to the American Idol website and read the stuff on their message boards. Those folks are BRUTAL!!! It actually started to bother me because they were so mean about the contestants they didn't like. (ugly name calling, saying "I just HATE so and so", etc). So, this year I haven't even gone there at all!

My older daughter and I are huge fans! I think this is a great group of performers and it will be really hard to pick a favorite. I was really sad to see Kevin go even though he probably was the weakest singer. Still, I wish I sang that well! I agree, Bucky's time is coming probably next week.

I usually love to watch it, but I've been so busy the past few weeks I have missed alot of the episodes so I don't know all of them like I normally would. I do like Taylor though, he's been a favorite from the start.
The Chicken Little thing cracked me up!!

Love American Idol...my favorite is Chris (I'm a "rocker" at heart). I also like Catherine and Ace. Alot of talent this season. Could be any of them. Dolly

Susan, that was the 1st time I had been to the Idol site and peeked at the message board....they must have had a lot of complaints regarding "bashing the Idols" because they had pretty strict criteria and gave examples on what NOT to do or say !! LOL Don't know if any sticks to the rules....that's gotta be pretty hard to be one of the contenstants and read mean spirited things about you

I don't like Bucky much or Chris although I liked his rendition of Walk The Line. I kept hearing Johnny Cash's voice though. I am not sure if I can remember all of their names, but, I liked Catherine? and Ace. I admit, most of them are very talented. Kevin wasn't so bad either. I knew he would not make it to the end round though. They really want someone with some flash and big voices these days. Still, he had alot of nerve. I know I didn't like the way they treated him. We all are our own individual and Kevin had shown us that he was comfortable with his individuality.
I didn't watch it when Kevin was eliminated. I always forget when it comes on. It air's here on Tuesday evening's and Wednesday's. I missed the Wednesday one.

Well, I watched last night and I think the judges had it wrong...they kept saying that they all picked bad songs....they didn;t......they picked good songs but sang them badly !! Kelly Pickler....is too busy relying on her cuteness... I LOVE the song she chose...it is one of the reasons I listen to country music...it is fun, fresh, and full of emotion...but she sang it with none of that....just very mellow and sweet.....not the way it was intended. Any how.....don't ahve time to join the American Idol message board....so I must write here !! LOL Allisa

I thought last night's show was a dud. I just wasn't in awe over anyone. Maybe they are all just getting tired or too comfortable. I thought doing songs that were so recent (the past six years) would have made it simple.
I appauld Mandisa for having the courage to sing a Christian song. She is a phenomenal singer and I am sure she will have a great career in the Christian market. I would be surprised if she won AI because she doesn't physically fit the image.
My guess is Lisa will be voted out tonight. She seems like such a sweet kid. I think she would have been a big contender if she had a few more years of life experience. Bucky will be gone soon, too.
I still don't have a favorite. I'm not a rocker so Chris isn't at the top of my list. Catherine still hasn't grabbed my heart but she is a beautiful girl and has a very well trained voice. Kelly is cute as a button but not as talented as many of the girls. My daughter loves Paris. Elliot is a fabulous singer but he doesn't have the right look to be an idol. Ace is ......well......hubba, hubba!

Just noticed this thread and have to jump in because I love American Idol! I have to say I really like Bucky~ I dont think he's the best singer and I really dont think he's going to win (I know he will be out very soon) but for some reason I really like his raspy voice. Maybe it's because I'm a big country music fan.
That being said I want Chris to win~I love him! Loved his Walk the Line.
Hopefully they'll do a better job tonight than last week~looking forward to the country songs tonight!

To me, last night show was a snoozer! Where do they get these songs? Nobody really "WOWED" me. It will be interesting to see who is in the bottom three, because none of them stood out. I love Mandisa, but I think she may be in danger tonite. Also Kathryn and Taylor (my humble predictions).

It was bye bye to Mandisa. Too bad!!! I think she was one of the most talented but country just wasn't her venue. Next week is suppose to be songs by Queen. That should be great!
