Re: Anyone watching American idol?

DH thinks Sam and Jenna will be the final two. I think Caleb will win. I usually miss the last 30 min....just too long of a show. I think Jessica is going home tonight.

Honestly...I don't know why I continue to watch. I don't think any of them are all that great. Some are okay. But none of them wow me at all.

Emma...I'm like the captian that will wait to go down with the sinking ship so I'm sticking with this show for the long haul....but the last time I was completely wowed and couldn't wait to tune in week after week was the year Adam Lambert was on AI.....IMO the show decided to put Adam 2nd that season and when that happened this show lost most of its credibility.....there are a lot of us who feel Adam won that season but the producers wouldn't make a gay man their next AI so they made that other guy who most barely remember.....Kris who?....Kris allen...in all honesty there is no way that guy was getting more votes than Adam....plus...he wasn't even all that cute to get the teenybopper votes.

but this show still has a certain appeal to me so I'm there week after week....

IMO...Sam should never have been saved by the judges.

Katz ~ I agree....he has improved though. I really wish that Jessica would move/do something. She has such a good voice...but she's stuck to the floor.....

I think the final will be Jena and Caleb. They've practically crowned both from the beginning. Don't like Alex he reminds me of Tiny Tim. Caleb screams every song. His Aerosmith version was horrible. Jena has the most stage presence and a good voice. Sam isn't comfortable on stage but has a good voice. Jess has a good voice but no feeling when she sings. She could be reading the sheet music. The Angelina pose with the tattooed leg was too much. Sam & Jess in the bottom two with Jess going home.

I agree...I think Caleb butchered one of my favorite songs. I think it just showed that while he's a great rocker...and great at screaming, his voice just isn't all that great. And there is something about Jena's voice that I really don't enjoy either. I actually think that Sam, Jess and Alex have the best voices.......but zero stage presence or charisma.

They all leave me kind of bored. I can't imagine buying any of their music....or God forbid, sitting through an entire concert. I think Jess, Sam, and Alex might benefit by losing the guitar for a song. I think they all use it as a crutch because they are such terrible performers.

Agreed, not into the screaming. Although I do think Jena has a good voice. Caleb butchers everything he actually has to sing. We talk about the guitar being a crutch every week too. Anyone of the Voice finalists is better than any of the American Idol finalists.

I feel the same way. None of them impress me much this year. I don't expect AL to be around for much longer. Though I love Harry's critiquing the other two have ruined it for me.Tthey are there to judge, not to be entertained and fawn all over their favorites.

Watching yesterday's recorded show right now. What I'm enjoying the most is having my fave guy - Jason Mraz with Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr. on the same show. I think we'll see a lot of Alex and Sam in the future.

So can I put in ***S-P-O-I-L-E-R*** and ask who got booted?

I'm not wild about singers who sound like Joe Cocker or Janis Joplin (although I like the both of them). Just don't sing every song and sound like them. Caleb does this.

So I'm wondering who got sent home?
