Leslie Hunt - American Idol - I'm In Love
 
I just happened to flip over while she was on. That my friends is a woman I would love to know. Great natural complection, hair color is a perfect compliment to her facial features, great eyes, great legs, she can sing and seems to be very humble.

Hello Leslie, my name is Curt and I am a single bald 31 year old male from Columbus, would you like to go to Beulah Park with me? :cool:

Coach Pants 02-21-2007 07:47 PM

She's got the wholesome look down pat.

Coach Pants 02-21-2007 07:52 PM

I'm watching Jericho flippin to American Idol during commercial breaks and I gotta say Antonella is smokin' hot.

GPK 02-21-2007 08:11 PM

I have seen MAYBE 10 minutes of 2 different episodes...just can't bring myself to watch it..

Idol is my one guilty TV pleasure.

I thought there were some real good girls tonight, Leslie was one of them. I thought she was great.

I thought there were at least 6 that stood out...agree with the judges though, that last girl was in a league of her own, time will tell when she has to sing different types of songs but what a voice! First girl was very good, the former backup singer, the 17yo and the girl with the long curly hair...gonna be a good competition!

I agree, i thought it was one of the best collections of talent that they have put together yet. I had it about the same, approx six standouts, and I might add most of them seem to be compelling from a personal standpoint. for example not stuck on themselves or pretentious. The last gal, wow did she belt out that number?

Yeah, if I'm rooting for anyone from the heart it would be her and the girl who was a backup singer...she obviously doubts herself but there is no need, she can sing! Both seem as real as folks can get!

Thats exactly the kind I root for, its what I like about the show. The two you mentioned seem very genuine and for some reason don't realize how good they are. Very grounded.

I also like some of the unassuming jobs that some of them have, like bank teller, or dog-walker. I like to pull for the little guy or gal, a rages to riches type of story.

I thought your girl was kinda cute, but when she started to dance I thought she was having a seizure. She just seemed to be a bit of a dorky dancer. (kind of Elaine like from Sienfeld). As far as the rest of the show goes, it's the 5 black girls and then there's everyone else. They should keep the five and send everyone else home, because the rest of them suck! It's not even close!

Buffymommy 02-22-2007 10:49 AM

I liked the same ones as you Somer. But I did like Leslie. I think she has a very nice unique voice.

ok, truth time... How many of you voted?

Sorry Pillow, but your girl needs to go home.

It is kinda sucky that six of the girls are going to go home when it really should be more of the boys going home. Just after watching the boys and the girls perform, the girls are WAY more talented than the boys. Randy was right when he said he would only keep four of the boys.

My top girls are: Lakisha; the back up singer; Jordin (17 yr old); and Leslie.

Top guys are: Beat box boy; Mop head Chris; and the other Chris.

Seattleallstar 02-22-2007 10:58 AM

im holdin out hope for the Indian kid from Seattle, even those he is acting pretty gay

Coach Pants 02-22-2007 10:59 AM

Yeah she's probably gone. Call me crazy but the last singer they were raving over wasn't that great. Plus she's not anything to look at and there has already been Fantasia to fill the single mother role.

I'm just not impressed with this years group. Might be time to pull the plug on the show before it jumps every shark on earth.

This season started off so strangely.

The guys were awful.

Blake was good. Phil was good for the second half of his song, but without a doubt, WORST OF THE NIGHT on the first half of his song, all warbly and way off-key. It pains me to say, but I thought A.J. did a fine job the other night as well, as I really want to not like him because I don't think he's very good.

Those three were the only ones worth mentioning, the others were either bad, uninspiring, forgettable, or very bad.

The girls, sadly I didn't get to see them all because my stupid cable kept going in and out.

Lakeisha is obviously the girl to beat, and she has been since the auditions. I've taken a liking to Jordin from her very first audition and she's my sentimental favorite from day one and I hope she does well. I only saw her on the recap last night but she looked like she was having a good night. Stephanie was good too, especially kicking things off. Melinda seems to be one of the top 4 competitors of either sex. Gina could be the sleeper in here. Great shot.

Antonella is a joke. It was her idiot best friend who I blame for Bailey Brown going home during Hollywood week because they wouldn't let her sing her part with them, and then she forgot her words during the performance.

I have a creepily photographic memory for stuff like Idol. It is scary, but I love it.

Top 5 after week 1:
1.) Lakeisha
2.) Blake
3.) Melinda
4.) Jordin
5.) Stephanie.

I think your analysis is spot on . I do think Sabrina is #5. I didn't like the song but the girl showed she can sing. I also think that the jury is still out on the guys, but it doesn't really matter because the best guy couldn't hold a candle to the fifth ranked girl. They should keep the five ladies and jettison everyone else. I also think the this has been and is shaping up to be the worst season ever. The only thing that could save it is if the top 4 -5 girls do make it and battle to the end. That's pretty unlikely, because America will screw it up just like last year when Chris got kicked off early. He was the best by far and should have been a run away winner.

brianwspencer 02-22-2007 12:18 PM

Oh and by the way, as for the title of this thread -- Leslie is awful.

I was shocked and a little mad that she even got this far. She's not very good and she won't last too long unless she had a dramatic turnaround and buys some talent somewhere.

Buffymommy 02-23-2007 08:35 AM

Anyone else pissed off that Antonella and Sanjaya were NOT kicked off? :mad:

Sanjaya is in the TOP FOUR GUYS?!?!?!?!?

Antonella got by on looks this week, but won't make it much further.

Agreed about Antonella, she's beautiful. Might make it on looks a little farther than you think. As far as Sanjaya,they said he was in the top 4 in votes for the guys. There must be a lot of Indian teenyboppers watching the show. If that is the case this kid could be around for a while!

Sanjaya got the sympathy vote because the judges were so hard on him.

Antonella better go home before some of the other girls or I will be very angry.

My roommates and I talked about this one last night.

There may be a few reasons Sanjaya is in the top four guys. He's young, and we've seen in past seasons that young teenagers can get far just based on the high school vote, and they get the sympathy vote because they aren't that experienced. The Indian population watching Idol has nobody else to love (not saying that everyone just votes based on ethnicity, but it's rare for someone of Indian descent to make it this far, really).

I also think he's getting some of the repressed homosexual vote. Kid is gayer than a Liberace museum and there aren't clear reads on anyone else in the competition. Just like the Indian population, gays may be voting for their own (not me, though, I value musical talent and good looks too highly to vote for him!)

Antonella makes me swoon, but she was just AWFUL.

I do think alot of people do vote because of ethnicity or lets say demographics. What I mean is if I was a 17 years old teenage boy I would be doing everything I can to make sure Antonella and Alaina are back every week. Do you really think a 17 year old cares about a singing competition? Hell no, they will watch because ther are hot girls. That's why I think that Nick guy will go far. He will get the teeny girl vote. It is a singing contest, but early on it is treated like a beauty contest. Look how far Kelly Pickler made it the year before. She was very pretty, but she was not a good singer. Don't forget that there is also a group of poeple out there that purposely vote for the WORST people. I think that they might even have their own web-site. They try to make a mockery of the show. Look how far that kid John Stevens got that year, he was the worst. So if they go with Sanjaya watch out, the kid could have the votes to go far.

Samarta 02-25-2007 09:49 AM

I admit it, we watch it faithfully....but we (or at least I don't) watch the stupid audition stuff. The only two guys that I think have any talent at all, is the beat boxer from Seattle and the guy with the bushy hair and glasses. (sorry, haven't learned the names yet) Outside of those two, there were probably 9 girls that were better than any of the boys.....I'm interested to see what this "new" twist is this year. Supposedly at the midway point there is going to be some new twist that is going to turn things upside down..I saw some talk show the other night and they were trying to figure out what it was going to be and the thought was bring back people from other seasons.
