American Idol - The New Season - Page 5

I AM SO PISSED! How could Gedeon get voted off and not Kevin? This is absolutely absurd. This is show about talent not popularity, like we're in high school. Gedeon has been singing flawlessly and without going off key AT ALL. Not only can he sing great, he's also a natural performer up there.

While people may feel sorry for the nerd-factor, or think he's cute, Kevin needs to develop his skills more. He stands up there not knowing what to do with his hands.

He's stiff and his singing style would not appeal to the masses and in my opinion is harder to market.

Gedeon's style and singing appeals to the masses and is more marketable than Kevin. There is no way anyone can convince me that Kevin is a better singer than Gedeon. I'm guessing his high school teacher made the entire school and town of Long Island where he lives vote for him.

I've read comments on the Internet that Gedeon is "weird during interviews" - but the guy isn't trying out for a talk show host position. He may not be as bubbly or cutesy as the others but what I see on stage is someone who seems like a natural born singer and performer. He reminds me of a 1960's soul singer - and performs like one.

Kevin needs to go home and come back when he's more seasoned.

I agree that Gideon was very good! Not saying that Gideon is R&B cuz he was just soulful, but seems that there are less and less R&B'ers like Ruben who flopped after AI was over. This is strange since there are SOO many R&B'ers who try out. Could be that the R&B-hip hoppers cannot usually sing regularly well, prolly. Seems like they are going more and more towards the ballad singers and/or rockers which I personally like much better

Okay I'm sorry but why the hell is BUCKY still in there? Maybe I am missing something but he tries too damn hard. I just am not a fan of his. I really like Kelly Pickford! She is so cute! I don't know about being the best singer but I just really like her and her story.

My opinion? I think that a lot of people that call in are voting based on personality and / or sympathy.

I really think the decisions should be in the judges hands. We need unbiased voting. Too many are voting for Kevin due to the "underdog factor".

Anyway, I hope Taylor Hicks wins. If he's not in the finals, I won't even bother watching the rest of the shows.

***Little_Lisa*** · 03-10-2006, 10:12 AM

I like Taylor, too! I think Chris is my fave guy, though. I was totally shocked to see Gedeon go home and Chicken Little stay! WTF!?? That's not right!

I don't have a favorite girl yet but there's a few i'm torn between.

This is the first season my husband and I have watched. I love Simon! I regret not watching Kelly Clarkson's season.

***dixiewolf*** · 03-12-2006, 09:19 AM

I didnt see the first season either, I didnt even know what the show was, then after all the hype I started watching it the second season, and every season after that. Even though I say I wont watch it the next season I do it anyways, lol. Not that I dont like it, it just takes a lot of time, 3 days a week. I missed it this week though, I was kind of disappointed, but when they get down to the top 12 is when it really gets interesting

This season is like the first time I have watched some American Idol. And thanks to TIVO I can watch it when I can. My favorite girl so far has been katharine mcphee for the girls. However, for the boys I have missed their shows and cannot decide yet who is my favorite.

***Zoey*** · 03-12-2006, 12:38 PM

Chris is definitely my fav guy and from girls,hmmm,I love quite a few-Catherine, Mandisa, Lisa, Paris, Kelly is just so cute I was LMFAO for 5 mins at those minc and minx stuff and Melissa has a really specific voice that I love. I can't wait for the themes nights,now we will really see who is 'universal'. And some of them will really get a good use of stylists and MUartists,lol

***Little_Lisa*** · 03-16-2006, 10:43 AM

I still can't believe Kevin's in it! What a joke!

***dixiewolf*** · 03-16-2006, 10:52 AM

Why was Lisa in the bottom 3? I predicted it would be Kevin, Ace, and Melissa, well I got 2 right.

***lglala84*** · 03-16-2006, 10:56 AM

Which one is Kevin? I think the one with the jessica simpson hair needs to go. And very surprise to see Lisa in bottom 3!

***Little_Lisa*** · 03-16-2006, 10:59 AM

Yeah, I don't think Lisa should have been bottom 3 either! I had predicted Kevin and Melissa. I was surprised about Ace.

This may sound mean but Chicken Little (Kevin) talks with a lisp that gets on my nerves AND you can still hear it when he sings! That little girl (forgot her name) but she's sooo cute but has the babiest voice ever but atleast you don't hear it when she sings. She's good!
