American Idol last night

[Bullit]

anyway, I'm not looking to get into an arguement over something as stupid as american idol, however I don't think political correctness has anything to do with who wins. If it's as you say and the network controls who wins, then they will choose somoene who will MAKE THEM MONEY.

Oh great.... next thing you 2 will arguing about is who would win a fight between Data and Whorf.

how come the one episode I watched simon said basically that he liked to listen to the fruity guy with his eyes closed. And simon is the guy who has major pull on the show besides being the creator.

LOL,Simon has literally spit a loogey in every single person's face in that entire show at one time or another.Clay not only worked on the facial tics,but improved his overall appearance(hair,clothes,etc)drastically.Like SG said in the original thread,he listened and acted on any criticisms very well,and he really only lacked in the marketability standpoint.His voice was always outstanding.

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."

I agree. I absolutely adored his "Build Me Up Buttercup" performance. He's an awesome performance. I will admit he was a bit dramatic, but I think he's terrific. Plus, he's a good ole Southern boy.


Ruben is beyond words. I absolutely wish that there could be two winners from this show. It would be definitely be him and Clay. I think that the final choice will come down to those two, and the American people are going to have a tough time choosing. Ruben is definitely a teddy bear though, very cuddly.

The rest of the final 5...hmmm. Josh is definitely a country singer. I think if he were on Nashville Star, he would be doing much better than he is now. I like him though. He's sweet. Trenyce kicked ass last night with her performance of Proud Mary. I don't think she holds a lot of chance in the competition though. Kimberly has a big chance. She can sing, and she has a look about her. She, Ruben, and Clay will be the final three, but I think it will end up with Clay coming out on top.

Two winners? From where I sit there are three winners already... actually 12 winners.

Clay, Ruben, and Kimberly are a lock for recording careers after this. And all 12 of the top finalist are going to be touring with the show for a year when it goes on the road. This is the best year American Idol ever had... all the top 12 were good... some like Trenyce and Kimberly Caldwell are very outstanding... even if not in Clay and Ruben's league.

That tour is going to get a lot of notice... and all those kids are going to learn a lot this year. They will all be better performers for the experience. Everybody wins.

Kimberly Caldwell doesn't suck. She actually has it. She just hasn't gotten tha confidence to use it. Randy Jackson made the right call on her... just like Simon made the right call on Carmen... each of them has an incredible talent.. but they haven't reached the ability to tap it. Kimberly hit her master's performance the night before she was booted. She left on a very high note. She showed she learned how to take a chance.

I didn't think that Carmen was that talented actually. Kimberly, yes. She had charisma, and that is a huge factor.
