American Idol Season 9 - Page 111 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Watching some of the performances... Lacey Brown singing the opening of "Beautiful" is about as awful as can be. She missed a note as badly as you can possibly miss a note.

Also, looking itt, it's a widespread lol that Lee won over Crystal. So if America actually voted for talent, i would have picked the winner in the top 24 week.

Regardless, I was wrong.

One more thing, even though I think Lee is a joke of a winner, I'm still man enough to bet 800 dollars to win 200 dollars on him.

The women I'm talking about aren't teeny boppers either, average age prob 30.

I'm wondering if most people prefer male vocalists in general or maybe just women without even realizing they have a preference to gender (since women probably vote more).

I don't vote, but FWIW... I prefer male vocals BY FAR*, and enjoy Lee's tone of voice, but in this particular instance I like Sox better and would have voted for Sox were I the voting type. However, I'm one out of five females in my family that watches Idol and who would have voted Crystal over Lee.

*If you threw a dart at my iPod list, you'd probably hit a male singer 90% of the time. Largest block by a female artist is Bonnie Raitt. Hence, the Crystal appeal.

All of the past winners and performers singing together was pretty cool. Had to have been a really cool moment for Simon, Randy, and Paula.

i said it last night while watching the show, but the producers missed a gigantic opportunity by not doing this. either they tried and paula wasn't up to it, or they simply don't want to push him over. idk.

Yeah and they know it too, which is why last night felt more like the final show of the series than the final show of the season, with all the past contestants coming back.

I think it's a combination of this and the teenyboppers just going crazy for "aw, shucks" type guys for whatever reason.

Weird, that's actually a big part of why I love her so much.

And for the 'poll,' I prefer female vocalists generally.

Crazy story. I just got home from a goth club in Hollywood that I went to for a friend's birthday party.

Siobhan Magnus was there. She was with a group of like two other girls and a couple of guys, and they were really cutting it up on the dance floor.

At one point in the night our group kind of mingled with theirs and I ended up dancing with Siobhan for a little bit, then dipped her at the end of one song. She was really into stuff like Rob Zombie and Nine Inch Nails. Had a huge smile on her face the whole night and was totally un-self-conscious. Changed my opinion completely of her. Cool chick.
