I tHinRe: American Idol top 5

I think everyone did well last night, someone had to go. my money was on Casey. My favorite is Chayce, but I think Willie may win. Win or not I think Chayce will be okay.

Re: I tHinRe: American Idol top 5

Regardless of which of the three wins, the finalists will all have life changing careers. Grace was a college student but the other two had little chance of advancement from entry level jobs.  If nothing else, Chayce will end up singing country somewhere in the Southwest and Willie will have at least a Ruben Stoddard career.  Imho, Grace has the best chance of a major breakout a la Adele.  Grace probably has a major personal makeover in her near future ( and hopefully more flattering costumes ).

I don't like the comments about the weight of these two contestants.  That is unnecessary and unkind.  This is a talent contest, not a Miss or Mr. Universe contest.  Sure would like to see those that spew about weight a picture of themselves. 

 


I completely agree with you about the comments regarding the contestant's physical appearence.  They are unwarranted, unkind and unnecessary.  I just don't understand why people post such things.

@LdyBugz ...sadly, those sad people like to "spew their brew".  Oh well.  I  guess we can just be glad that not all make something like that a focal point of life.

Yes, it's only 4 years, but there is a huge difference in being 12 years old and being 16.  Can we not allow for immaturity? For growth, change? .... in those ensuing years?   Is this society so unforgiving that we can't even imagine that someone isn't exactly the same at 16 as they were at 12?  Nope that's it - he's out.  No opportunities for him because he did something dumb when he was 12.   

 

and plus, he said that wasn't what he was doing.  anyway, I feel sad for him.  He's a talented kid.

I didn't like Caleb's singing but sorry to see him go out like this.  I looked up the picture on TMZ and it's definitely a "KKK" hood.  People do stupid things when they are 12.


@TurnerGal In the movie it was a white cap-style hood, close fitting. In Caleb's video is was clearly a pointed kkk hood. Yes, people do stupid things when they're 12. But in his case it was only 4 years ago! My understanding is AI asked him to leave when the video surfaced.


 

 

 


I don't think this will stop Caleb from having a career.  I have a son that was a honor student and said something stupid at 12 about a girl,  called her a bad word (a word we never allow in our house)  and he was suspended.  Fortuneately it didn't ruin his academic future and he granduated with honors from college.  But young kids do stupid things.  Caleb seems like he has song writing skills and I think someone will give him a chance.

I like all of the last three.  I think all three will have a career.  I think any of them could win,  I go back and forth between the three on who I like best. 

 

I think they said Chase's song was #1 on country radio,  so he already has a good start. He is also attractive and charming which helps. 

 

I do like both Willie and Grace.  I also don't like the comments about their weight.  I think Willie has lost quite a bit a weight and I think he said he wanted to be healthier.  Grace does have an unusal shape and I think better choices could improve her look.  You don't  need to be a size 2 to be famous.  Adele until lately was always large and look at how much success Lizzo has had.  Their talent will push them forward.

@TurnerGal  Chayse's song '23' sounds like early Bruce Springsteen! Really, really good-  it sounds more like rock (vs country) to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L7avqr3tNk

I thought it was a good finale.  I was not surprised by the winner but I voted for the runner up about 50 times.  

 

It was good to see Murphy.

I didn't watch it last season, but I thought this was the best Top 3 they've ever had.  I would have been happy if any of them had won, but I voted for the winner.  I hope all three have success.

My favorite Chayce won so I was happy. I am so glad the show invited Murphy back, it was good the show addressed the negativity the show received for giving him the axe early on. I do think three hours was an hour too look, they could easily have done the show in two hours ( I know it's milked for ratings). Now who will win The Voice?
