re: **OFFICIAL** American Idol Season 11

I hope everyone knows that Eben the fig 15 year old has already won. You have 12 year old girls who are 90% of the votes.

---

This is correct.

Spoilers:





According to dial idol, he is way out in front of everyone else.






American Idol needs to revamp their voting system because allowing 13 year old girls to vote 1000 times is killing the show. McCreary was a terrible Idol winner and this Eben kid is worse.

Of the top four voting getting guys according to DialIdol, only one should be in the Top 12.

I dont know.....maybe its just me or the songs they sing......but both the boys and girls are BORING.

---

I agree. I thought the girls were better than the guys for sure. The guys had awful song selection. There are too many "old soul, soft voice" guys in this group. I have no interest in watching a 25 year old guy sing a slow ballad by some 1960s R&B group.

And enough Adele.....good lord....is Adele going to be sung all season??

---

Yes. She is about the biggest thing in music right now.

I dont know how long I can stay with this group.

If they let through some of the boring, awful contestants being predicted, then I might be out as well. I can't watch another year of people fawning over Scotty McCreary types.

My top 12 would be:

Guys

1) Josh Ledet
2) Colton Dixon
3) Philip Philips
4) Creighton Fraker
5) Adam Brock
6) Jeremy Rasado

Next In: Aaron Marcellos

Girls

1) Jessica Sanchez
2) Elise Testone
3) Hollie Cavanaugh
4) Shannon Magrane
5) Jen Hirsh
6) Hallie Day

Next In: Skylar Laine


Now, I fully expect that people like Eben Franckewitz and Heejun Han will be pushed through over more deserving people.

quote:

there is no one more deserving than heyjun.

---

He's funny in an awkward way but he's not that great of a singer.

Who is he better than on the list I just posted?

quote:

---

1) Josh Ledet

---

I thought he was a notch above them all. Reminds me of Sam Cooke.

quote:

---

Dang, I thought the exact opposite. There were only like 2 poor guy auditions, and most of the girl group fell flat, IMO.

---

I though there were three bad girl auditions:

Chelesa Sorrell
Baylie Brown
Haley Johnson

I thought there were four bad guy auditions:

Reed Grim
Deandre Brackenstick (I seriously don't get the obsession with this guy.)
Eben Franckenwitz
Jeremiah Jones

But I thought there were a lot of "meh" guy performances - Brock, Rosada, Marcellus, Han, Likens.

quote:

---

You people have biases, Reed is the type of performer/personality who always does well on AI

---

I liked him until last night. He's just not very commercial and, if he makes it through, I imagine he'll get quite boring.

He's definitely talented, I just don't think he knows how to use it. Lambert knew how to perform. I don't think Reed does.

He plays like 4 instruments and dances, he won't get boring.

quote:

---

I'll take that bet.

I don't think he makes it past tonight, though. I do agree that he is incredibly talented though.

---

Tonight is a crapshoot in the 6 or so seasons I have watched I thought the best person got eliminated before the top 12 or 10 or whatever it used to be.

i really dislike results shows once it gets down to voting one off at a time i will stop watching them. i hope tonights is moderately entertaining
