fwiw, michael is now the vote for the worst pick.

America has SO butchered this season that I seriously think Mike could win. I almost want him too now. Would he hilarious for the winner to go and and sell 4 albums to his family and friends only.

Re: Siobahn, I agree she has good control and range, but to be honest I don't like her voice. I often found her performances to be boring for the first three-quarters of the song, with the final one-quarter being pretty good, sometimes great. Even worse for her, it was this same formula week after week, and people became tired of it.

based on enjoyability, i like crystal > lee > aaron > casey > mike. i agree lee's notes might not be as good as the other guys, but mike and casey are consistently so boring.

Amen to that! I had already posted about how much I suck a couple posts up.

I don't believe casey was really in the bottom 3

Read a quote from somewhere else that I agree with regarding Siobahn:

"It's a shame when you find out the weird talented girl is more weird than talented."

this is true, but her performances in the last 6 weeks have been average to awful, and this is coming from someone that would have won 500 dollars if she won idol, and i like her

why?

crystal is the girl's favorite

lee is the guy's favorite

Aaron had the "best" night, got the most votes

that leaves Casey in the bottom 3


I don't think you realize how close Casey was to going home the week Tim left.

why not? 0% chance of winning imo

i've been saying that since the top 24.


my original 3 that i said had a chance are Crystal/Simoan/Mike


I will concede that Lee has improved in the last 8 weeks, so he can legitimately win. Doesn't mean I think he's any good, just he can win now.

I still think it would be a pretty big upset for someone other than Crystal to win. Aaron is garbage, Casey is pretty garbage that can play the guitar. Mike sings well, but as ppl here say, he's a ballad man that sings 1 song.

SO what was with the weird thing that was on Siobhan's facebook page that was mentioned earlier?


As much as she made excuses and rejected any sort of critical comment the judges made, it wouldn't shock me if she made something up and posted it.

It was taken down later the post said?


Would like to here more on that

No, she has no control at all over the page. The siobhan magnus facebook page had aarons phone number posted instead of siobhans, and they didnt fix it until 2.5 hours after the show ended. They corrected it as soon as they noticed, at about 9:45. The person who has control of the page then apologized. Later(after the results show), the post disappeared.


EDIT ::

And I think you are silly for the "ignoring all comments the judges made". She was doing her own thing, PiB etc etc, then the judges told her to tone it down and stop screaming all the time. She then started doing stuff like Suspicious Minds, Across the Universe, etc, and they kept complaining about how held back and restrained it was. The advice they were giving her was very much useless, similar to the advice they gave Katie Stevens.


EDIT NUMBER TWO ::

http://www.mediacurves.com/americanidol/idoldemocracy/

A site that does polls of american idol each week, but only lets each person vote once. Would have resulted in a top 4 of Crystal-Siobhan-Casey-Lee.

**** powertexting

i didn't mean she ignored the judges comments, as much as back talked them and gave reasoning or excuses.

I just don't think she takes criticism well. She is probably the type of person that is pointless to get in an argument with because she would never concede. You know the types. Just my impression.

As far as the facebook page, idol controls that? Ya that sucks for her although one should probably watch the show if they are going to vote but ya.

INteresting website.

From about a 20 second look at it, it seems Aaron has some kind of voting syndicate doing work for him.

Is he the church selection? Politics is one thing, but not paying taxes and messing up the idol results is taking it too far.

Siobhan does NOT have one of the best voices to ever be on American Idol. That is just completely wrong.

First off, who said that? And second, yes she does. She has the biggest range of anybody that has ever been on american idol(not opinion, fact). She also has very good control.

pretty sure adam lambert destroys her range. and i'm not sure he has the widest range of all the people who have been on idol.

Seriously?

Just in terms of girls: Kelly? Tamyra? Fantasia? Melinda? Carrie? Katharine?

Yeah, I would think so.

Siobhan has a big range too but she can't control it. Sounds like a mess in parts even on my favorites from her.

Wow. I actually have to apologize for making a post as stupid as that. Must have been really tilted that she got knocked out, cause that post of mine makes no sense. Sorry about that.

What I meant to say was probably more like

"Ignoring personal preference, she has the biggest range of anybody ever on American Idol, and in my opinion, one of the best voices"

I kind of agree with this**, but I think she can be an amazing recording artist, and be great live with some more training. She already sounds phenomenal on her recorded tracks - specifically the Whitney/Mariah song.

** Kind of as in - I agree when she sings fast songs and moves around stage a bunch she can't control certain parts that well. Her lower register is also sort of nasally. But when she just relaxes and sings, her control is near perfect. ie : across the universe.

One of the reasons I was really disappointed to see Siobhan get eliminated is that I feel with more and more weeks, she could have gotten way better. She has some amazing natural talent, and with some training I think she could do a lot. She was the only person left who could put on a surprise performance. Losing that makes the show less exciting.

Yeah, none of this would be a problem in a studio with multiple takes and other techniques to clean it up. She would have a great recording voice. I don't think she will make it as a recording artist anything big though because she doesn't seem to fit any genre. Probably not very commercial either. But she'll find something and be successful.

According to idolranges, Lee has the biggest range of the 5 remaining.

siobhan was good, but she doesn't have the biggest range.


also, biggest range =/= best vocals


fwiw, Elliot was/is a much better singer than she is
