American Idol last night

[SofaGeorge]

Did anybody else catch Clay Aiken sing "Solitaire?"

That kid just trancended greatness.

Simon made a very interesting observation. He said Clay was able to take the criticism he had received like an adult an learn from it. It was amazing to see. This kid is growing up and transforming into an unfathomable talent before our eyes. I've never seen an artist grow so much in such a short time.

Neil Sedaka's comment was, "I'd kill for the chance to write and produce your first CD."

 

[EF Sam]

It really was a brilliant performance.

 

[gmanlax7]

is he going to win or are they going to give in to politically correctness and give it to ruben or kimberly ?

i think josh is gone this week, he was horrid

 

[HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex]

Yes,that was unbelievable...It's going to be very hard to choose between him and Ruben,they are both amazing vocalists.Hopefully both of them get a signed deal out of this,they both are extremely gifted.

 

[gmanlax7]

that was the biggest leather jacket ever

 

[gmanlax7]

because kelly was white, so maybe they would want the winner to be a minority this time, so that record sales would appeal to a different market, since kimberly and ruben are black and clay is white.

 

[HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex]

Why does giving it to Ruben or kimberly have to be a politically corrrect move?

Agreed...Both of those mo-fo's have serious chords,let's not turn them winning into some racial thing.If they win it's because they beat out SEVENTY THOUSAND participents from various talent trials.It could be ANYBODY standing there at the end,from ANY race.They got there and will win or lose based on what they can bring to the table,and the ability to sell music to the mass public.

 

[HG Pennypacker]

I think Trenyce has the best "pop-star" look out of any of them. Her voice and presentation are pretty good as well, in my opinion.

political correct move? what are you talking about. the idots who call in are the once who choose who wins or not.

At this point they all have a sure thing at a successfull career,
whether they win American Idol or not.
All of the remaining will get contracts with somebody for something;
nobody's going back to Alabama to be a grocery sacker.
