"American Idol" - Season 7

Soooo.... who watched last night?!

Oh gosh, has it started?! Woo hoo! I guess I haven't been paying attention, so I'm glad to see your post, Carol. Is it on again tonight?

And is Paula still judging? I knew she's had a lot of problems, so I'm curious...

Yes, they have another 2-hour episode tonight, Amy. And yup, Paula's still there.

I enjoyed last night's show. I wish that the girl named Temptress (um, cute name) had done better. She was the one with the sick mother, and I was hoping she'd do well for that reason. Instead, she kind of bombed. Too bad. I was sorry about that.

And I liked the girl who sang "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered." She had the sort of nice, smooth, non-jazzed up voice that I like and the judges don't. I thought she was one of the best of the night, but Simon gave her a thumbs-down and the others just seemed to barely give her an OK.

Did anyone have any favorites or non-faves?

I really enjoyed it last night! My 13 yr old son and I are watching it together, and I don't know if we've ever laughed so hard at an Amer Idol episode than the ending of that one! What did that guy say, "Simon, the Chosen One" or something?! Oh he was funny! And when Simon said to that one guy, "Douglas, they're going to take to you to a safe place now"....LOLOL...all I could think of was Willy Wonka!! Simon & Willy Wonka, see the parallel?!

Ok, on a serious note...the girls that they picked were really good. The guy with the fingernails grossed me out in a way that I've never been in my life, and I can't quite believe they sent him through based on that. He can actually sing, but now the nation is just creeped out by him and who's going to vote for him?! WHY would someone come on national tv to broadcast a creepy quirk?! Ugh. Oh, and I'm quite shocked that Simon put the 'political' guy through (with the tie), and SO quickly!! Not that he couldn't sing, but he wasn't GREAT, and with that persona? Um, I'm sorry, but he made Clay Aiken look cool, even back in his audition days! I just don't get it. I DO like the farmer guy (even though I don't like country), but he had a nice quality to his voice. There was another guy who sang country (didn't he have the spiky blond hair---did he sing country?) anyway, I just remember another country guy sounding really good. The girls have the guys beat in this round though, hands down. I'm sure they'll find plenty of good guys for the competition though, I'm not worried. Sorry to ramble! Can you tell I'm excited about AI starting up again?!

Wow, Jacob, what a list. I've narrowed it down to the ones I heard and thought were excellent. I just don't think Simon should make his decision on if they do a country song or not, since he doesn't like country music. He should stay neutral and consider their voice and not the type of music they sing.

Some of those auditions!
For example the guy that was doing that really weird thing with his hands while singing and running out of breath.... he kept doing voice practices LMBO!! :haha:

Oh and...

:sing: YOU ARE MY BROOOOOTHER..... MY BEST FRIEND FOREVERRRRR....!

He sang that song for simon right i think at least he was 44 though or what about the Stalker guy i bet Paula nail her door shut for the after that lol :unsure:

I couldn't agree more. I remember him saying last year that he doesn't like country and just doesn't get it. But he really should be able to put his personal tastes aside and judge the singers on their talent.

no proplem Rob

Oh my gosh, that was SO hilarious!! And Simon's right---it'll probably be a hit song!! LOL...two words: William Hung.

And I agree about Simon, guys...he needs to remain neutral. Country IS a part of this competition whether he (or I ) like it or not!

He Kind of Like Carrie Underwood i think anyways he told her she was gonna sell more Records then any other American Idol

Oh, you're right Jacob---I remember that too!
