American Idol Season 9 - Page 66 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

My rankings:

1. Crystal - girl is such a pro, should have went w/o background singers
2. Lee - that's the guy I think is going deep
3. Andrew - finally
4. Mike - he's a very good singer, but does nothing for me
5. Casey - not bad, but the guy has like a 3-note range
6. Katie - a poor woman's Kelly Clarkson, stop inviting the comparison by singing her songs or songs Kelly performed while on the show
7. Aaron - go away
8. Siobhan - this week 95% bad, 5% good scream note. Cannot see her winning w/this formula
9. Didi - Surprised how bad she was, she should be thankful she has....
10. Tim - a clown

Bottom 3: Tim, Didi, Katie
Bottom 2: Tim, Katie
Gone: Tim

Pretty much agree with all of this. I love Siobhan but she has sucked two weeks in a row now and needs to get it together. Lee is not my cup of tea but he killed it. Crystal wasn't her best but still better than anyone else. Didi should figure out that whenever she plays the guitar they like it and when she doesn't they hate it, so maybe she should, like, play the guitar.

Mike is still so corny and one-note to me, Casey tilts me but he picked a good song and did a decent job with it.

honestly, Aaron is the one guy I could see trojan horsing into the top 3 just by being young and cute and a pretty good singer.

As far as vocal ability go, for me it goes for the guys

Big Mike
Aaron
Lee

the other 3

One thing I really liked about last night was Usher. I'm a fan anyways, but it's about damn time a "mentor" actually did some mentoring. He seemed to do a good job. Aaron seemed to completely forget the advice, because his "I know, I know, etc." part was very average.

Usher's interviews were the best. You could tell which people he thought were legit good, and Aaron was not one of them.

el oh el

You mean like when he said he could win if he played his cards right? Or when he said Aaron singing the song was incredible?

he would say stuff like "he can get a lot of points if he sings it right, or play his cards right", etc. To me that seemed like Usher just being nice.

Other artists, at least the ones who sang well last night, he was like legitimately impressed by them. At least thats how it seemed to me.

Usher gave very solid performance advice last night. There wasn't much he could do to help their singing ability.

You keep bring up past Idol contestants, a concept which has absolutely nothing to do with this season. He's not competing against Cook and Daughtry, he's competing against the people still alive this current season in order to win and get the guaranteed contract/media exposure associated with being the AI winner. Down the road, maybe the winner has to worry about competing with the people you've mentioned in terms of record sales.

FWIW, no one outside of David Cook's family could name two of his songs, so I'm rather certain citing him as some type of all time success story is utterly idiotic

however, someone said "he's not garbage" i'm saying, yes, in fact, he is garbage.

if you compare him to contemporary singers, like Brandon Boyd, Lee is garbage. If you compare him to great idol performers like Carrie, Kelly, Tamara, both David's and even someone like Bo, Lee is garbage.

so comparing him to others that have gone through the same show as him is completely fair. It's not like i'm comparing him to ppl on Hell's Kitchen.

Seacrest seemed like he was on coke last night. What was with the awkward of holding didi's hands and asking her about the meaning of the song? Made no sense. Then him telling the father to go drink some beers.

I'd be shocked if final 3 wasn't Lee, Crystal or Siabhon. None of them compare to mullet man who had the best voice of anyone.

Seacrest is trying to get Didi to cry. He knows she's a basket case and cries at the drop of a hat. So after the judges rip her to shreds, he tries to get the water flowing by holding her hand, asking her if she's "okay".

Lee is still a fumbling uncomfortable bastard. He needs some good drugs if he wants to be a star.

Tim may be a ****ty performer but he's the best ever at taking criticism.

This is the Internet, not a knitting party. People say offensive things. The word "trash" is pretty tame by comparison.

It was a really weird moment.

Part of me was thinking Ryan wants to keep her around and was making excuses and trying to garner sympathy. Rubbed me the wrong way.

lmao. the internet excuse is pretty played out imo. ****ty people are ****ty people whether they're sitting in front of a computer or interacting with someone irl. i personally don't find any enjoyment out of being a dickhead on the internet (or irl) but if it makes you guys feel better about yourselves, knock yourself out.
