American Idol Season 9 - Page 85 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'm actually in agreement with you and wouldn't have taken that bet, I thought it was obvious based on the commentary last night that Urban wasn't leaving

I actually gladly would, I just don't want money tied up for 2-3 years.

The only thing Mike has been is consistently BORING. There is no one I look forward to less than Mike. He's so predictable and tame. What's he gonna do... join Boyz II Men? He isn't a recording artist. He's a bodybuilder. Simple as that.

Just something stupid like $10-$20 that Crystal sells more units of her first album than Lee and Katie combined within 6 months of release. I'm guessing both of us would forget about the bet 18+ months from now though. But I definitely think Crystal is a favorite unless Katie somehow out of nowhere sells 100k albums.

America got it right. Both contestants eliminated were annoying as hell.
Next week -> Big Mike (go out on an inspirational song, lol)
2 Weeks after that -> Aaron / Turban
I don't care after that, but I think Siobhan's stock has fallen quite steeply the last few weeks.

I'm just saying there is no one on s9 that has that kind of lead.

I am a Divid Cook fan but anyone who watched the season knew it was David Cook or David Archuleta right to the end. Cook was more deserving, but there would have bee little suprise (seeing as voters decide) if Archulta won.

I mean Lambert lost to Kris last year!

On singing, Cyrstal's abilities compared to any of Siohban, Casey, Lee and Mike or the rest of this field are significantly greater than Cook's abilities were over Archuleta. How America votes, though, that is another question.

No way...If he nails next week I think that will put him in the top race to win this competition.

Siobhan needs to turn it around in a big way or else she's out. I was quite disappointed that she wasn't in the bottom 3 tonight.

It's kind of in her hands, as one could argue she has more upside than Crystal, but only about a 20% chance of making that upside breakthrough actually happen.

One problem I see is that she is pretty young and fragile when it comes to criticism.

lol I didn't check the thread for a few days, I am pretty sure I never bet with you.

You said tim was a lock to stay so I asked you what odds you would lay. I assume a lock was over 80% or so, so I figured you would lay me 4-1 and I would have accepted such a bet for a large sum. I personally thought tim was more likely to stay this week than go home, but I thought it was far from a lock as you had put it.

you are truly an idiot.

that's cool, like I said, I don't want your money, it's just good to know that i'm always right and you were wrong.

edit: Grue, i'm sure you are saying something about me, but I ignored you, so ---- off

meh. kinda ****ed up that katie is eliminated before aaron or "turban" (hate that nickname as much as i hate him btw) imo. she was getting better and better and the only reason her goodbye performance sucked is because you could tell she was struggling not to cry through it.

crystal and lee will be the finale. crystal and siobhan still my favorites with lee a close 3rd.

That's basically what I said. Your point was that David Cook was a lock, and he wasn't, or that Cook was way better than archie and he wasn't way better. he was just better.

David Cook>>> Archie
Crystal>>>>>>>>>>>>anyone else this season

America screwing this up is a given, and another story.

god I hate how this show is driven by votes from America's dumb ass citizenry.

Best singers left going into tonight:
Crystal
Lee
Mike
Katie
Casey

The rest can gtfo imo.

But what do they do? Vote off one of the few actual good singers left. Tim being around still makes a complete mockery of this "competition".

My point: in season 7, after it got down to 10 or so, you knew one of the david's was going to win.

This year is really really wide open

Tim is like a straight Sanjaya for me. He's got zero shot of winning and is noticeably worse than everyone else, yet for some reason he never ****ing goes. Get Tim, Aaron, and Mike out of here so the actual competition can start.
