Shawna Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I like Danny Noriega - I think he's much much better than Sanajaya! sheesh. And Bonnie... how can you look at her and NOT smile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Who is Bonnie? Is she one of the army of skinny blonde skanks? I can't tell them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I just got told about Amanda Overmeyer and checked her out on youtube...WOW!! She has an amazing voice and attitude. Yeah she sounds like Janis, but she still has her own style. I truly believe that Simon is an azz after telling her she didn't know the song with Baby Please Don't Go because he didn't know that she was doing scat and then he didn't even know the song!! I don't like this show but I may have to watch and vote for her, but sad part is, she won't stand a chance against the poptarts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Wanted to add a clip of Amanda from this past Tuesday night. This chick has it all...great voice, cool looks, and attitude. She's too good for American Idol in my opinion. Oh yeah watch the comments at the end. Simon just proves what an ass he is, he thought she didn't know the words to the song!! What a jerk! Baby Please Don't Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 She's trying to do the Aerosmith version of the song. And, in my most humble opinion, failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 David Archuleta .... I think may be the one to win it this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 If he was the kid that did "Imagine", I agree Laurie. He was good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Dreads rocked Andy Gibb! Chiekeze rocked Donny Hathaway! Hernandez rocked The Temptations! Noriega rocked the lip gloss! And yes, I believe the Archuletta Muppet will win the whole flapping thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 the guy who played the guitar and sang "All Right Now" was skeazy... he looked in desperate need of shampoo... blecchhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I saw the David Archuleta clip this morning and he just ruined one of the best songs in classic rock. He turned it into a bad sounding broadway tune. At first I didn't even know what song he was singing it was such a terrible version. Even though I don't like this show all that much, I would hate to see him win. And odds are he will since they tend to push through people that don't have what it takes with the exception of a few in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Well SJ...I watched that video again tonight, and I didn't like it as much the second time I watched it....I don't think he ruined it, he just changed it, but I tend to like the original artist's versions most of the time....Hearing it the second time around, it wasn't really that great....but I still like him...

Shawna Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Nooo... I think Bonnie did a great job of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain." Only problem is she was smiling all the way through it, when it's a sort of "get bent" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 She sang it fine, but that guitar sitting in her lap bothered the piss out of me. Why have it if you are only going to strum a few chords here and there? It doesn't make you look like a serious musician if it's just a prop, sugar.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I just watched Amanda sing Carry On Wayward Son, and I did cringe a bit, she shouldn't have sang that song. I would like to see her do some Melissa Etheridge or some older blues tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I don't watch Idol but based upon what's being discussed here I went to Youtube and watched that Archuleta clip. Man, that sucked on ice. I'm glad I don't watch that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 At least the band on American Idol is pretty good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 If David Cook's version of "Hello" is ever released as a single, I'm first in line to buy it. That was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I still haven't decided if I like that kid or not, but he did rock Lionel Richie. I can't believe I live in a world where it's possible to rock Lionel Richie. I also dug Dreads and Chiekeze. I think I secretly love Danny "I'm So Fierce and Fabulous" Noriega, but he looks like Jessica Alba and that makes me question my sexuality. And he's only 17, so that makes me a dirty old woman. Or a cougar. It amuses me to see the Daily Top 10 reflect the songs that were sung on Idol. We are so easily influenced as a society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Danny Noriega has an attitude that is too big for his extra-small britches. He sort of put a damper on my liking him last night with the "TMTH" and snubbing what the judges said. And his speech, by the way, cements the discussion in another thread that teenagers DON'T talk out loud in text code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I was really surprised that Simon liked the version of "Hallelujah." I thought Danny was a disaster, and I loved the Lionel cover. The Australian guy seems most likeable, and the dude with the unpronounceable name can really sing. Me might start featuring songs from the competition once it narrows down a bit. Still waiting for a contestant to mention Songfacts, but there's definitely an interest in the stories behind the songs they're singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I was thrilled this morning when I saw that Amanda Overmeyer made in the final 12. And I saw her clip singing Joan Jett and Simon loved it! I hope she can make it a few more weeks. I know she won't win being a rocker. Next week they get to sing Lennon/McCartney songs...big mistake, I can't see any of them doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Here are the tracks performed on American Idol from March 11, with links to the Songfacts. It was Beatles night, which was great for everyone except David Archuleta: Got To Get You Into My Life - Syesha She's a Woman - Chikezie In My Life - Ramiele (sp?) If I Fell - Jason Come Together - Carly Eleanor Rigby - David C Let It Be - Brooke I Saw Her Standing There - David H You Can't Do That - Amanda Across The Universe - Michael Eight Days a Week - Kristy We Can Work It Out - David A What were your thoughts on the show and the performances?

TheLizard Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The chick that sang In My Life and the chick that sang Eight Days A Week sucked major stuff, as did the last dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
