American Idol Round of 4

[BleedDodgerBlue]

Bee Gees night...yuk....I mean who likes this type of music anyway. Each contestant sings 2 songs. No idea of contestants singing order.



Blake:

You Should be Dancing...he beatboxes it

This is Where I Came In


Jordin:

Women In Love.....some kind of Streisand tune

To Love Somebody.....also the same song the Bee Gee dude is performing live on wednesday..yuk


Melinda:

(2 of these 3..still undecided)

Love You Inside

I just want to be your everything

How can you mend a broken heart


Lakisha:

Stayin Alive

Run to Me



I've heard of exactly one of these songs...staying alive. I guess its funny that Lakisha is singing this, but I really think it's her swan song.

Supposedly she really sings staying alive with lots of soul and nails it, but i can't see it being good. who knows.


Debated playing Lakisha to go home at -210, but passed.


Still have:

Melinda lasts longer than Lakisha

50 shares Jordin

50 shares Blake


find a way for Melinda to go home please.

Thanks for getting us started this week.

Seems like this week should cement Blake into the finals, as he should be able to rip through Bee Gees material effectively. I can see him doing "You Should Be Dancing" and tearing that up with an original beatbox hip dance number. Don't know the other one.

Jordin's selections seem out of place and too old for her. She should have picked something uptempo and fun.

Melinda probably will pull off whatever she does, but "I just want to be your everything" is a really lame song - Andy Gibb song, not original Bee Gees, I think. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is a great classic song, but really high for her range.

For Lakisha: Don't know the second song, but she probably can have a lot of fun and blow out "Stayin' Alive." Kind of a frightening visual rattling around in my head.

For an initial ranking without seeing any of it, I would predict Jordin going home from all of this info, but her history here may save her again. I think Blake will sail through, and I am looking forward to what he does with "You Should Be Dancing".

Still think Blake's gonna win this thing, especially if and when they open up the themes for the last couple shows, which I think they do, at least for the final. Don't they write a song for the finalists and have them perform it? That could kill him, though. I remember that lame Bo Bice song, and Taylor's lame song he had to do last season.

On to tonight. Good luck with your wagers, fellas.

okay, to be honest i just tried to you tube a few of the songs just to hear what they were.

i started and ended with blakes you should be dancing. holy crap, i couldn't take it. it is so god awful. i mean seriously, who listens to this nonsense. the frigging bee gees. oh my god is that terrible. bring back diana ross at this rate. wow do my ears hurt. i had to turn if off after 15 seconds. yuk yuk yuk.

i won't be able to watch tonight i don't think. its just that bad. i'm sure i will because i like train wrecks, but wow does this music suck.

It can't possibly be worse than that American Idol gives back episode, can it?:com:

I wish they would 'give back' the 40 minutes of my life I wasted on that show...

 

[Sun Tzu]

I didnt say i liked it...I just know what it is!

i liked some of it. annie lennox was okay. kelly clarkson was great, but she looked awful. and it was for a great cause, so they get a pass.

no passes for bee gees night. the producers really need to take a look in the mirror and fix these themes next year. no one wants to hear diana ross, the bee gees, etc. at least not their target audience. and then hear all the contestants lie about how they had so much fun with it.

at least they got rid of the opera theme night from season 4 i think. that was the worst.

how about a Metallica night? Maybe an Ozzy night or how about KISS? Has there ever been a theme night with hard rockers like this (no, Bon Jovi does not count).

No, not even close, and bon jovi does NOT count.

They should do Metallica night and only have contestants choose songs off Kill Em All. Nothing sappy from the black album.

Or they all have to sing " One" that would increase ratings.

I'm trying to envision a large black woman singing 'One' by Metellica....(or any of these clowns).

I'm having trouble with the visual!

 

[Agent 0659]

Darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror.....

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, NO

 

[Wilson]

I like the Bee Gees...:SIB

 

[The Big Tease]

OK......so it seems this is the week that in the past, the favored winner inexplicably goes home....

Somehow, someway, I am sure that Melinda will go home this week.

Dont ask me how......but after Daughtry and LaToya the last 2 years, I am staying with the trend.

 

[vinnie]

hey check it out check check check it out that bebop shit is getting old :mj07:
Blake :s1: :sadwave:

 

[Agent 0659]

BRUTAL

I am halfway through and the first 3 were utter crap. Jordin was pretty good.

Lakisha probably gone but Blake isnt all that safe....

See how the 2nd half goes....

 

[Sun Tzu]

Would Paula just go ahead and smoke Blake's pole already? Man her act is old. I actually want him gone worse than I wanted chemo boy to hit the road.

Fat Momma and spitter in bottom two . Momma hits the road. Still feeling good about Jordin winning.

Did Blake seem extra gay tonight? I dunno I liked what he did with the Bon Jovi song last week but this week I dunno. That no neck girl can really sing and Jordan was good on one out of two. Tough choice I think.
