American Idol Season 9 - Page 86 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

to be fair, Tim has been middle of the pack the last three weeks. He's been worlds better than Aaron. Aaron has a stronger voice but he's a nerd, and he's going to sell 0 records once he goes home 6th or 7th

Tim has been better than Aaron, but Aaron sucks so for me its basically whatever. Tim will be around for a while, since thats how this show works. In a "perfect" world, the finals will be Lee vs Crystal, but I don't see that actually occurring here.

Every note in a song has a correct frequency or pitch. Being pitchy means a lot of your notes are slightly out of tune - your voice is missing the pitches. All trained musicians understand this.

I think Tim is more like Anoop from last year. Everyone loves him, he can sing ballads pretty well, but he isn't going to win.

The point is, anyone that has a chance of winning isn't going to be affected by Tim at all. Tim is taking votes away from Crystal

if by suck, you mean the two of them were two of the best contestants Idol has ever had, then yes.

Look at the field in season 7. Many people have said Michael Johns would win this year, and he finished 7-8. Same with Brooke White. And, the two David's ran away with it that year.

I mean, it's cool if you hate Archuleta because he's a religious kid who seems kinda weird, but he's one of the best technical singers that Idol has ever had. Saying Cook is >>> him is just wrong.

we are talking about as a contestant on Idol

Cook IS >>>>> Archie in terms of being a performer, and doing things people actually liked to hear on stage.

Archie might be the best pure singer on the show, def. top five, along with ppl like Clay.

I don't agree with this at all. Regardless, I think the gap in vocals outweighs the gap in performance by a decent amount.

The more I re-watch old performances, the more clear it becomes that the gap between Crystal and everyone else is enormous.

I hadn't seen her Hollywood performance before but this was very good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFr7O...eature=related

Not quite Kelly's version, but still damn good. And you can tell everyone loves her.

i completely disagree.

That's a really bad analogy. If I only think Aaron's vocals are a little better than Casey's and Casey's a much better performer, then of course I'm going to want to see Casey.

My whole point was that Archuleta's vocals were far enough better than Cook's to make up for any gap in performing ability.

the really funny thing here is that everyone thinks their idea of "good" should be the same thing within completely different demographic and market.

i agree DA is probably better as a pure singer, but Cook is really really good.

Aside from Clay and Reuben and DA, who on Idol has more pure singing ability than David Cook? I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm just asking who you think is a better singer? I'm talking about the males only.

Some of the notes he hits at the end of ABMB is similar to Siohban, but he hits then, and the whole song is on pitch, unlike simoan.

the funny thing is, good singers are good singers, no matter if you like the music they produce.

I pretty much hated everytime DA sang, but I can say he's easily one of the top five vocalist ever on the show.

also, Eliot Yamin is a better singer than David Cook, forgot him

Best singers left going into tonight:
Crystal

Mike

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".

That should be their slogan:

"American Idol: Making a mockery of competitions since 2002"

KATIE HAS A HORRIBLE SOUNding voice even if she is technically good.

I didn't mind the tone of her voice so much, it's just that her delivery was so robotic. And when someone programmed that head bobbing into her software that was the last straw for me.

Mike has a good singing voice, he just sings ballads way too often so his songs are sappy and boring.
