American Idol
 

Re: American Idol
 

Watched it, thought it was funny. Some REALLY good talent, a lot of mediocre talent, and lots of insane people that evidently don't have anyone that loves them enough to not let them get on national TV and make fools of themselves.

The harlot in the bikini was just ridiculous and offensive. We fast-forwarded it so we didn't have to see it. They were talking about her on the radio this morning and played a clip of her singing an old Mariah Carey song. It was awful, she was all over the place with pitch, but she got passed on to the next round. Amazing! If she is going to get past the Hollywood round, she's going to have to show up completely naked, because her voice sure won't get her through.

Was impressed with the blind guy at the end, though he needs to wear sunglasses because is eyes and facial expressions when he was singing were a little off-putting. Did they say he entered college at age 14? WOW!

Re: American Idol
 

I watched it. Some very strange people show up for that thing!! The bikini girl just made me mad.

Re: American Idol
 

Me too! And I'm a MAN! I didn't enjoy that at all... especially while I was sitting there watching it with my wife and 15-year-old son. Thank God for DVR and fast-forward!

Re: American Idol
 

Nah, I would disagree. She surprised me and my wife that she could actually sing. I think she did good enough to get to Hollywood.

Re: American Idol
 

She sang?! I don't remember that part. :blush

Re: American Idol
 

I do not have any idols. American or otherwise...

Re: American Idol
 

The deep voiced guy reminded me of the "let my people go" guy from last year. cousins you think? :)

The last black gal who lived in Memphis who lost her home due to a hurricane-23yr old with 2 kids. Her voice was very good.

I knew a couple of kids that tired out for AI this year in Phx and did not make it through-on of them tours with GB5 and can sing so I don't know what was up with that when they let all those tone deaf folks through.

Re: American Idol
 

They do it on purpose for show.

Re: American Idol
 

I didn't watch American Idol, didn't realize it was time for it. But heard the guy from Jasper, Texas who sang a song from Boys II Men used to go to the Pentecostal Church and had the HG.

I am anxious to see what he does. I know a lot of people who knows him.

Michael Tarver I think is his name.

Re: American Idol
 

AI was in San Francisco on tonight's show and only 12 made it through. I loved the guy who's taking care of his sick mom!

Tomorrow night is Louisville, KY, but I'll be at church so they'll have to sing without me!

Re: American Idol
 

Re: American Idol
 

Okay, I just gotta ask...

How funny was that girl who had all the notes like she was trying to act all edu-ma-cated. Then, when she hit a sour note, explained that she was singing from the wrong "rectum!" I was ROFL! That may have been the funniest thing I've seen on AI yet!

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Re: American Idol
 

Yep - that was my FAVORITE!!!!! Thank god for DVR - I had to rewind it and watch it a few times!

Re: American Idol
 

Re: American Idol
 

I know. And, apparently, Simon irridacticated (irritated?) her. :lol

Re: American Idol
 

I predict that will be the best one of the season - they should have saved that one for last.

Re: American Idol
 

She was hilarious!!! It made me wonder if it was an act, but she sure didn't act like it.

Re: American Idol
 

Judging starts tonight! Who's gonna watch?? :tvhappy:tvhappy

Re: American Idol
 

Re: American Idol
 

I noticed tonight that the guy with the best voice who is a recent widower is a music director at his church. I wonder if he is Charismatic. I am going to have to do some google searching as soon as I remember his name!

Re: American Idol
 

My guess was correct. The 2009 American Idol contestant with the best voice is a Spirit filled believer.

Based on how he sings and that they said tonight he was the music director at his church I did some google research and found out his church, Faith Builders International, is indeed a Cruisematic one that believes in Speaking in tongues and water baptism by immersion.

I read that he was doing the music at two different church locations each Sunday and then travels to Nashville to record and work with a foundation he set up in his wifes name. Here is a link to his church;

Re: American Idol
 

That's Danny Gokey...he's awesome! LOVE his voice!

And I can't believe how much he looks like Robert Downey Jr.! :uhoh

Re: American Idol
 

YES - he was BY FAR the best!! The only one that I remotely enjoyed was the blonde/pink hair girl - can't remember her name - but she is pretty good - all the other ones are pretty much as Simon says "forgettable" -

Re: American Idol
 

Danny Gokey will be the big winner this year. Can't see any of the others going all the way. He just NAILED it!

Re: American Idol
 

Danny has been my pick since I first saw him in the auditions! He's the real deal, and his story is just amazing - to lose a wife so young.

Re: American Idol
 

LOVED Danny - and yes he was BY FAR THE BEST...

But what about Michael Sarver (sp?). the guy from Jasper, TX! I love this guy. He just has the sweetest demeanor. And did anyone happen to notice his MOM on the show! She is a pente/apostolic (or what ever your pick of the day is!) if I have ever seen one!

I didn't really care for ANY of the girls. But I must admit I was a bit surprised by Tatiana who I don't care for at ALL. She is too much of a drama queen!

Re: American Idol
 

Hmmmm......I wonder if that pastor is Jerry Pruitt's son. He used to pastor in the Milwaukee area. There's some UPC connection if he is.

Re: American Idol
 

Badger Rodent Mom,

I noticed that mom also and meant to mention it. She looked 100% Pentecostal / Aposotlic down to the blue jean skirt if I remember correctly. Surely somebody on here knows the family and can give us a history. Obviously the son is backslid since he had on a necklace! (J/K)

I liked that guy a lot all through Hollywood week but he picked a terrible song that did not show off his range or voice at all. I am amazed at some of the song choices the contstants make.

Re: American Idol
 

On the other thread Missdkendall said that his mom is Apostolic and is on 'Everyone's Apostolic'.

Re: American Idol
 

LOL! That's what I said on an earlier post - that the goofy chick was doing great!!
