not scott again??!!!!
amikino:
I was watching The Tonight Show last night and Anwar was on for a few minutes. He got to spin the wheel for a prize: year's supply of Turtle Wax, something I can't remember, and a weekend in the Riviera. He won the weekend in the Riviera, which turned out to be a weekend in a Buick Riviera. Also, not that this SHOULD make any difference, but methinks that Anwar might be just a tad bit gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I'm just pointing out that "middle America," and not necessarily those who live there, but those who think there, might have picked up on that and it may have influenced the voting. I think Carrie has been lousy the past few weeks, but obviously a contingency of country music-ish people are voting for Miss Wholesome. They are the same people that put Diane DeGarmo through to the final two above some better singers last year. Go figure.

Matter of opinion... I thought she should have won... (of course.. I preferred Amy last year and Amanda this year... my favorites are always voted off early...)
As far as Scott goes... well... he's the worst left as far as I'm concerned... but, since he is entertaining, (not nessisarily in a good way) he is fun to watch.
There is a growing group over at Sucks that have a vote for the worst movement going on. I won't post a link, but, they do have a website started advertising their efforts.

Agreed...Diane was a nice girl with a big voice..but wasn't entertaining to watch..same as Carrie imho. Simon keeps saying she has the best 'technical' voice of the lot. That may well be (I'm no pro when it comes to telling)..but I do have eyes & ears), again, she's just too plain...........'bo---ring.' (Unlike Bo /]* get it huh huh) (%# ((^ (sad I know..gotta get my jolly's when I can). ;)
I dug _}{ Fantasia from the very first interview process. Told my bro & his wife (who happened to be watching with me), I thought she had the season in the bag..even put a bet on the table she'd be the 'American Idol that season' He said "You're nuts..she sucks..that's just too easy a bet for me!" Something to be said about *star* quality and that gal had/has it in ace's. Too bad he wouldn't take the bet! :P
In truth I was surprised Fantasia made it through the voting process..AI voting history has not traditionally been for the unique 'jazzy' type vocalists. I was thrilled. }^/
This season is all over the place voting wise..I am clueless as to why Scott & Anthony are still on stage. Sure Scott pulled the ole 'heartstring' chords during the interview process..what with him saying his own father always put him down & pegged him a loser from the start; and he had a surprisingly good voice. In that you didn't 'expect' one to come out of him (shows you how we judge people in this society..on their looks) nothing new..that one; but what the hell is keeping him there..since then he''s come off as a bit of a cocky kinda guy with a chip on his shoulder and alot of tacky overconfidance, (a ruse if you ask me). I liked him in the beginning too..not that I dislike him now (not alot anyway)..just don't think he's got the pipes some of the others have.
--- Quote ---And is it just me or is Vonzelle getting really good. In the beginning I didn't really like her, but now I think she is awesome!

Ditto! Nope not just you Papa Bear..Vonzelle is getting better. much much better. Perfect example of 'finding your nitch' that one is. Notice how in the beginning of the show some of the singers come on all professional like and then falter..and others, like Vonzelle..really excel as time goes on. I guess the theory behind that is those who think they're already good have no room to improve (in their own minds of course). While others are not only a quick study..sponges for excellent direction..but are also harboring some major untapped talent inside of them Vonzelle fits the latter category. The girl gets 'top of the class' for effort on my scorecard. She also has one heck of a powerful voice that wit continued practice..direction and experience can only improve. You go Vonzelle in your 'pink' and all! |*|
So Anthony will probably go this week..and betwixt the two my fine friends..I think Anthony has the better voice..shouldn't count on one of those two going though..not the way this crowd is voting. (%#
And of course I should know as I'm doing too too well on the MW questions et al. ,.(
Better switch my vote to Anthony....yep better do.
