American Idol Season 8

[BleedDodgerBlue]

My Take on top 36:


Dead weight...under no circumstances can win:

alex thugman
anoop desai
casey carlson
jeanine vailes
jessica langseth
jorge mendez
junot joyner
kai kalama
kendall beard
kristin mcnamara
matt breitzke (construction worker)
michael sarver (oil rigger)
nate marshall (fag crybaby)
nick mitchell (alter ego)
scott macintyre (blind guy)
stephen fowler
tatian del toro (ugly annoying girl)
taylor vaifanua
von smith (another gay guy)

that leaves an unknown group that has a small shot.....could win, but would be upset:

adam lambert (reminds me of michael johns......big song in hollywood week,and good singer, but still a theater rat)

alexis grace
ann marie boskovich
brent smith
jackie tohn
kai kalama
kris allen
megan corkery
mishavonna henson
ricky braddy
stevie wright


frontrunners and for a reason:

allison iraheta
arianna afsar
danny gokey
jasmine murray
felicia barton
lil rounds
matt giraud


I'm most interested in getting down large on the femal winning this year.

The three that intrigue me the most are felicia barton, lil rounds, and allison iraheta.

If I was forced to pick a winner today, it would be allison iraheta. gonna be able to get her real cheap early. she's the real deal of what i've seen. top guy will probably be danny or matt giraud with a lean to matt.

I like danny gokey, unique voice also has that horrible tragedy on his side was hoping his boy Jamar made it with him.....but I also think Adam goes farther than you think, seems like 60% of the teens dress and look like him in the northeast here, has a big voice that will get him by until the vocal coaches get a hold of him to become relevant

Felicia Barton

Felicia Barton

Based on that beach clip from YouTube BDB posted earlier, I'd like to know how the hell Felicia Barton did not originally make the Top 36. She is as good as anyone I've seen this year.

Also, I know it's unlikely Anoop Dog can win this thing but based on what I saw so far, he really can sing.

BDB, from what I've seen, I think your best bets would be with:

Felicia Barton
Lil Rounds
Jasmine Murray

I also am not a bigfan of most of the guys. really liked the rocker chick with the tattoos who didn't make the Top 50 so I was disappointed from a viewing standpoint of not getting to see her in the Top 36. She definitely had Top 24 talent in my opinion.

Good Luck with your betting!

I was suprised Jamar didn't make it. He has his on style and my wife and I thought his version of Hey Delila(spelling) was awesome.(at first I thought it was horrible but once he got in to it I thought it was really good)

Based on some of the other people that made it I thought him being let go was wrong. Seems like they kept some just for the annoyance factor.

Norman comes to mind.

I feel the same way. His rendition of that song was very good and the guy proved he could sing. Too many annoying people made it. I didn't agree with a lot of the cuts. But I think they do have some good ones this year.

 

[Julene]

I could do with a lot less drama and a lot more singing. This year should be the best year yet.

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

song spoilers from joes place.....new source for him this year and he can't 100 percent verify these are correct:

1 ) Anoop - The Way You Make Me Feel (I?ve also heard Annop is singing ?Angel of Mine? By Monica, So who knows)



2 ) Alexis - Fever

3 ) Michael - What?s Left Of Me

4 ) Ann Marie - New Soul

5 ) Brent - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

6 ) Casey - Miss Independent

7 ) Ricky - Candle In The Wind

8 ) Tatiana - These Boots Are Made For Walkin?

9 ) Stephen - When A Man Loves A Woman

10 ) Stevie - Unwritten

11 ) Danny - Iris

12 ) Jackie - Sweet Dreams



Books are pissing me off. Nothing at wsex until final 12 market, or betjam, nothing from pinny yet. What a joke.

I've got 2k on girl winning this year at various books. That's it. From the group tonight I'd be shocked since they only take the top boy, top girl, and next highest vote getter if two of the three weren't danny and anoop. I'd actually lay anyone even money those two advance from tonight.

Hopefully some books will have some elimination wagers, after tonight, etc.

bleed....no more NBA plays to post? Loved your work over there....hope to see you soon.

 

[Sylvan]

Danny was good. He should go far.

 

[Dice34]

Danny Gokey was the best of the night easily.....

song choices were horrible and simon hit the nail on the head, the band and the arrangements were pretty awful

girl in the blue dress received a standing O but the judges shot her down, i didnt think she was half bad

seemed like Simon wants the Oil rigger to get another shot, same with Anupe, most likley between those 2 for the 3rd spot

 

[DerrickTulips]

Danny has been my favorite since day 1, that whole group was miserable.

 

[rawli007]

tonight was the first episode i've watched, so without any prior knowledge of the participants i liked the following......

Alexis Grace (liked her song selection and voice)

Tatiana (i didnt think the judges gave her proper respect.... she chose a really difficult song and nailed it for the most part)


Danny was good, too, but he bores me for whatever reason. :shrug:

 

[Sun Tzu]

I am just tired of themn throwing Danny's wife at us - we get it, its sad, but I am almost automatically against whoever they push. And frankly he was just OK. He certainly was nowhere near as good as the judges made him out to be. Alexis was easily the best.

One thing we learned tonight is 36 is far too many.

 

[gardenweasel]

on prompting from my female alter-ego,i watched the first act and then promptly retreated to another room to watch "no country for old men" for the 10th time...

she reminded me of a thick waisted white/female sammy davis jr...

 

[BleedDodgerBlue]

spoilers were off.....

singing was even more off.....

brutal brutal group 1.

can't wait for allison, matt and felicia


for tonight danny and alexis will go through and I still think anoop is the 3rd, but if he's not he will be brought back for wildcard week if not for his following alone..........

my ears hurt

agree with the pushing tragedy in our faces for some people and not mentioning it for others..subtle voter manipulation

I say it year after year...pick a song everyone knows and even if you butcher it, if it's upbeat you ave a much better shot than singing a song no one knows.

[StevieD]

Danny was the best of a pretty bad group. I like Alexis but unlike the judges I liked the clean version of her better than the dirty one. For third probably Tatian. The judges were up to their usual of pushing people who pretty much stunk the place up. Don't they have a music coach or something? Terrible song choices.

 

[THE KOD]

lets face it Tatiana has some mental or emotional problems. I think someone got to her and told her to knock it off or she had not chance.

She sings pretty good but what a nutcase.

No producer would take a chance on someone like her. Emotional rollercoasters generally will not make it over the long haul. Too much drama

Full time consideration of another endeaver might be in order.

a personal trainer might be in order...sad to see young girls so out of shape...
