How many more weeks to go?

I like Didi but she won't win it.

Fat Boy got through. I think his fans weren't very happy with how critical the judges were. If the judges were a little more supportive, then his fans would probably have not been so warned. Seems they won't allow his vocals to be turned up. So, he better really back off on the guitar n' the volume of the instrumental they're adding. When he has to sing loudly it totally destroys his chances. Given the situation, he should sing acapella (like he did singing "Sunday Morning" in the audition.)

^Another example of how he should be getting mic'd up on that show. It's so obvious the producers want to get rid of him. Any kind of hi sensitivity mic'n would do. When he's mic'd this tightly, he doesn't over-sing. Pretty sad that they aren't interested in showing him in the best situation they can.

Believe me, this guy is the most talented, but he doesn't work hard enough. What's he gained 50-70 lbs. since he made this video a year ago? He's pretty wasted here, too. At some point, he's gunna have to apply himself a lot more, and reduce.

He got booted weeks ago.

He's too fat n' lazy to master a song in a week. Even if he performed to his capabilities, he'd of probably come 3rd, or 4th. There are two valid White Choices, and it's gotten to be a very White Audience. These final two are hard to separate on talent. They both have nice voices that aren't actually that unique (just really good versions of voices that you've heard before.) This Andrew guy has a more unique voice than these two, but he's never gunna work as hard as they do. Of the final 2, the girl is a much more polished performer. She will probably get as fat as the Heart lead singer though. Either one is a good choice.

My first time watching this comedy show and while not sure what they judge on, Lee got smoked tonight by the girl.

She isn't commerical at all though. Lee will probably outsell her, he has alot of Dave Matthews going on in his voice.

As embarrassing as this is to admit, I did watch with my daughter tonight and Everyone Hurts and Beautiful Day are not his style. Not sure if that is an excuse, but it's still a popularity contest it seems like.

What is embarrassing about it? Erin Andrews already danced in this ridiculously awesome get-up and there is no use to watching the comedy Cubs or Sox or the comedy NBA.

Crystal rocked tonight! I think Lee may have peaked a week too soon :D

Buffymommy 05-26-2010 06:21 AM

I like both Crystal and Lee. They have always been my two faves. I think both of them will have good careers. I lean more towards Lee. Although Crystal did better last night than he did. I didn't like Lee's song choices. I really only liked Crystals last song. I don't really care who wins. :{>: Lee is adorable so I am leaning towards him, but am happy that my two faves were the final two. I will buy both of their albums.

Females shouldn't bother trying out for this show. It's painfully obvious 13 year old girls control 80% or more of the voting.

How else can you explain last year and this year?

I just reviewed this with my daughter..that doesn't explain David Archeletta since he should have gotten the swing vote, but otherwise unless you are Carrie Underwood and obviously the best, you won't win if you are a female anymore.

The problem is they don't limit the number of votes. It's basically a "Damn I'd f.uck him/her" competition and not one based on vocal talent/stage presence, etc.

Yup...plus, they advertise a speed dial function ( you know this better than me probably) that really distorts things.

Look..at least they weed out the trash and the finalists ( or even beyond) will make money if they are worthy. If you have talent and you make the top 5 or 6, you will do fine.

It was obviously the dreds that did her in.
