American Idol '07

[Scotia]

I'm liking the beatbox guy and the Jack Osbourne lookalike. They seem to be the most interesting out of the guy's pool. I was diggin' Sundance but he's turing into a big pussy, so....

Um, did Pickler get implants in her ass too?

[TrixieB]

Kelly Pickler looks and sounds like a young Tammy Wynette (God... how old am I?!?!?)

Those are my two favorite guys, too. I can't really decide about the girls, though. Malinda Doolittle is wonderful, but I don't think she can win.

I thought Melinda showed the best musicality last week, but I don't know that songs like "My Funny Valentine" will get her to the finals. She and LaKisha are my favorites from the girls; I also like Gina because she's different; the rest are virtually indistinguishable.

[SinisterPryde]

Yeah, Chris SLigh and Blake are cool on the guys side. Personally, while LaKisha and Meli9nda are awesome singers, they don't do a whole lot for me. Gina, on the other hand....

Um, who else is in this?

[tomato]

Overall, this season's contestants (especially the men) are fairly boring and unexciting to watch...

[Penfold]

OK, so I'm watching tonight, and this reeks. I haven't seen anyone who I've liked, except for Melinda. I can't imagine trying to watch ten more weeks of this, particularly if that Sanjaya guy is going to keep advancing. Bleah.

[neglet]

Yeah, I was fairly surprised that none of the men even came close to matching most of the women. (Or maybe I shouldn't be, seeing as it was "Diana Ross" night.) This year seems the most unbalanced, in terms of talent level, that I've ever seen.

Regarding Sanjaya, the American public has a history of keeping in a subpar but cute, non-sexually threatening teenaged male way past his talent level. Remember red-haired John a couple of years ago? Made me cringe every time he sang, but he made it to the top 8. Sanjaya isn't a horrible singer, he's just so tentative and bland on stage that he's horrible to watch. I hope he's out soon.

As for my favorites: Melinda is the best musician, LaKisha has the best voice, and I like Gina just because she's different. I mean, Stephanie and Jordin are pretty good, but how many R&B divas can you have in the top 6? After a while they cancel each other out.
