re: OFFICIAL American Idol Season 9 Thread

as i said from day one of season 9 big mike will win it sad to say

As has been the course for this season, Mike got fricked just as Didi did last week and Lily did a few weeks ago and that other hot blonde chick did before (though her performance that week did totally blow).

I liked Mike's performance last night. It wasn't amazing, but it was fine.

But he was a no brainer to save. Easy decision.

tim actually was not in the bottem 3 :beatdeadhorse:

who was in the bottom 3?

Also, Tim will be going home next week. I don't see him having 2 good weeks in a row.

I think Tim and Andy Garcia are done.

I can see Crystal ending up like Daughtry & Melinda, contestants that are early front runners that go out in 4th/3rd place. Casual voters have to keep up with tweens with unlimited text plans and the core fan groups that the guys seem to develop.

I agree. Even Adam Lambert was clearly the best last year and didn't win. I think they need to incorporate judges's scoring into the equation kinda like Dancing With the Stars does. Because as they continue to prove in all kinds of media, Americans are fricking retarded consumers.

I don't think his performance even matters at this point. And how much influence does votefortheworst.com have? Or is all just tweenage girls keeping him in this?

It was good, but I thought he, Aaron, and even Casey had really bad song choices(though the judge's didn't agree with me on Casey). The Beatles have written the greatest melodies of all time, and they all picked more obscure songs, with much less recognizable melodies. Great songs, sure, but you've got one chance to rock a Beatles song, I'd have gone with one with a great melody that people would have immediately recognized and remembered.

There's a great version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in the movie Across the Universe that I was hoping someone like Siobahn(?) should have done. And though it was still good, wasn't Bowersox doing "Come Together" kind of cliche? I called that she would do that as soon as I heard the theme. Great song, but I don't think I've ever heard a cover band not do this song. Again, I think she missed a chance to do something really special. But that's just nit-picking as she's clearly the best of the group.


And I think it might be in Bowersox's best interest as an artist to not win. The winner is beholden to American Idol and their label for at least a little while, and I think she'd have more artistic freedom if she signed with another label. Which she would the 1st day she was eligible.



BTW, is David Archuleta a squirrelly little dude or what?

The bottom 3 were exactly who I thought they would be.

Spoilers .....






















I'm a little surprised that Mike was at the bottom. But, I'm okay with it. Maybe this will humble him a little? He always seems so arrogant.

I hate that the judges used the save so early. They put their favorites at risk. Now if dread head,Casey or Lee slip up and end up at the bottom, they can't do anything about it.

GTFO.

Didi was awful. She had no business in the Top 12.

it's way past time for him to go. the dude is terrible. i don't know how he even made the top 12. as far as who else should go at this point i'll go with aaron based on recent performances even though i hope it's tim.
