Would anyone take this show seriously again if the worst singer in the world won?<BR/><BR/>I think the producers would have to go back to the drawing board and perhaps allow the judges some pull in the voting. <BR/><BR/>I hope Sanjaya wins, at this point this season is a big joke anyway.<BR/><BR/>And Phil can't get any love at all. When he is great he is in the bottom three and when he is kinda crappy he is safe. I am beginning to think America's youth is on drugs. Shocking!!!Piccuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960771943816968683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12712729.post-21022004436864691312007-03-29T10:36:00.000-04:002007-03-29T10:36:00.000-04:00It ended up being Sligh-d Show Bob instead. Althou...It ended up being Sligh-d Show Bob instead. Although Legs was in the bottom three along with..PHIL!?!<BR/><BR/>Why is it on this show when people have their best week's ever (sorry VH1) that they end up in the bottom three!?!<BR/><BR/>What America at large is learning from American Idol, we sports fans have known forever. When you let the fans vote, expect it to be ridiculous. The All Star games are generally a joke because they're based more on popularity than performance.<BR/><BR/>See, for every well thought out ballot cast, there is at least a half dozen that some 6 year old filled out online with all his favorite players.<BR/><BR/>Thus Shaquille O'Neil played about 4 games in the first half of the NBA season, yet started the All Star game. <BR/><BR/>I think it was Mike Scmidt who was once elected to the Major League Baseball All Star game despite retiring that spring. <BR/><BR/>A true singing competition where the interest was purely finding the best singer, wouldn't let America vote. And, of course, no one would watch.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619144571670222594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12712729.post-48981064372462410102007-03-28T18:00:00.000-04:002007-03-28T18:00:00.000-04:00I concur with everything you said. I think we can ...I concur with everything you said. I think we can both agree that this is the worst collection of "talent" that has ever been on the show.Piccuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960771943816968683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12712729.post-27008732044352775442007-03-28T14:56:00.000-04:002007-03-28T14:56:00.000-04:00First of all, your girl Gina sang "I'll Stand By Y...First of all, your girl Gina sang "I'll Stand By You" by one of the best female led bands in rock history, The Pretenders. Good song, but not the best. I thought she was boring. She didn't really put a lot of emotion into a VERY emotional song. <BR/><BR/>Ditto for Blake. I realize that "Love Song" is not as deeply expressive as "I'll Stand By You" but for goodness sakes put some manner of voice inflection in somewhere. I think he's ok. Just ok.<BR/><BR/>Phil was very good this week. I was just as surprised as anyone, but that was the perfect song for him, and a great song as well. <BR/><BR/>Everyone who did a Gwen Stafani/No Doubt song was bad. Think about it. What does that tell you? One, they're not smart. Two, No Doubt was not good.<BR/><BR/>Jordin, why?!?<BR/><BR/>Melinda might be a great singer, but I'm tired of hearing her sing disco sounding songs. <BR/><BR/>Lakisha needs help from wardrobe or this shows ratings are going to go way up for the wrong reasons.<BR/><BR/>Scarnato would not be there if she didn't have those stems. Period. She slaughtered that song. Killed it dead. <BR/><BR/>Sanjaya is like a baby Michael Jackson without the talent. Very creepy. I wouldn't let him babysit my dog.<BR/><BR/>Chris is just not dynamic. His voice has a good tone and he's relaxing, but he ain't no American Idol.<BR/><BR/>That's all I can remember. If anyone else was on the show, you're so bad I forgot you.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619144571670222594noreply@blogger.com
