Why the fuck would Casey sing that song, i knew that was the wrong song the second she started.

If she sang a regular song like Every Breath I Take she would have advanced

Ann Marie



Pretty flat singing thus far. But she ended pretty nicely.

She is definitely in top 2 females tonight, but I dont think that she is ahead of Aleixs Grace.


I do think that she did better than the judges are saying, but she wasnt that far ahead of Alexis

Re: American Idol 2009- Season 8 Thread and Discussion

American Idol Season 8- Semifinal #1- Tuesday, February 17, 2009

Mandatory unnecessary Seacrest intro. You mean this isn?t Double Shot of Love? Ok, Seacrest clears it up?this is American Idol. Gotcha.

Let?s go to the judges: Dawg, durr, drunk, dick. Ok, got that out of the way.

Up first this season is Jackie Tohn, or Amanda Overmyer 2.0. Tohn?s strategy is to warm up by smoking an entire pack of Marlboro Reds. The outfit is more reminiscent of Olivia Newton-John?s ?Let?s Get Physical?, but the song is just bad Elvis. ?A Little Less Conversation? should have turned into a little less singing, fo? real. Someone hit the gong please! Camera shot is cut before the guy at the Apollo drags her off stage with a cane. Somewhere in Canada, somebody just ripped up a Jackie Tohn futures ticket.

So that?s what Ricky Braddy looks like! Never would have known what this year?s version of Garret Haley portrayed if we hadn?t seen him finally tonight. Ricky is the definition of cannon-fodder. Hide him deeper than Seacrest in the closet and people will forget he is actually on the show. Ricky proceeds to sing a song slower than his Carolina drawl. He?s not actually a bad singer, but he?s boring us to tears with his song choice. Like Carol said to Mike, ?Good night Mr. Brady, er Braddy?.

Next up is that kid from ?Home Alone? in drag. It?s either Macaulay Culkin en femme or Alexis Grace, aka the whorish teenage mom. Alexis unwisely picked Aretha Franklin. I?m thinking Alannah Myles ?Black Velvet? would have been more up her alley. She?s kinda like a more trailer-trash version of Fantasia without the charisma. You know when you start surfing for internet porn 12 seconds through the song, it doesn?t exactly capture your interest. Dawg, durr, and drunk produce the typical scripted comments. Dick drank drunks drink (say that three times) as he agrees with the three stooges.

Bah, as if the show can?t get worse they mess up the early montage. Ha, that will teach you to do this live. Anyway, Mr. Cannon Fodder/Pride of Home Depot is going to sing something. They?ve already set him up as the fall guy for Michael Sarver so he?ll likely need something really good. First strategic move of the night as whatever this guy?s name is (really he is that forgettable) going the Pickler/KKKristy/trailer trash route with some hideous country. I can almost feel the PO69-jiggle during that one. Meh, at best he?s Bucky Covington with mousse. Cross another one off your list.

Stevie Wright coulda been my prom date. If I were a guy in her high school, I would be offering her rides to school every day. Then I?d try and get lost on the way. Stevie: ?wait isn?t our school 40 miles that way??. Me: ?Uh yeah, what?s your point??. At this point is her being able to sing asking too much? Singing Taylor Swift is setting the bar pretty low. Unfortunately, Stevie lowers it even further. Nerves got the best of her and she absolutely butchers that. Looks like I?m going to have to drop her off in the woods and let the Blair Witch help her find her way home. Time to find another date for the prom.

Fan fave Anoop is getting lots of buzz for no apparent reason other than he is the same ethnicity as Sanjaya. He still lacks any sort of spark of personality in my opinion other than telling Randy he can call him ?Anoop Dogg?. He?s a pretty good chorus singer, that?s is about it. Really it wasn?t terrible, but it wasn?t at all memorable. His fan base may carry him through but he has still yet to show that he is a real contender. Over hits on ?# of Anoop Dogg?s? from Randy, however. Bad beat if you had under one and a half.

Interchangeable brunette whore #2 is Casey Carlson. I?ll be shocked as hell if Miss Campus Girl USA pulls out anything close to listenable. Cutie-pie Casey is singing what must be titled ?Every Little Song she Sings is Tragic?. Where Stevie lowered the bar, Casey just buried it under ground. Break out the champagne Anne Marie fans, it?s in the bag!

Have we told you that Michael Sarver is a roughneck? Well, if you missed it the first 56 times you wouldn?t know that he?s a ?man?s man?. Seems like a nice guy and apparently Michael was an Permian Panther. He?s hoping he?ll get his mojo for Tuesday Night Lights (multiple literary football references there folks). For whatever reason man?s man sings the hideous Gavin DeGraw number. If it sucks when Gavin sings it, what are the chances this will be any better? Gonna be a tight vote in the trailer park precinct between him and Brent.

Ah-Anne Marie. She could literally walk on stage, put down the mic and walk back upstairs at this point and outpoll Stevie and Casey. Complete with ending glory note, Anne Marie absolutely obliterates the competition. It wasn?t exactly awe-inspiring or enough to convince me that she has a shot at winning the whole enchilada, but on the heels of the rest of the competition it was more than enough to advance as the top girl barring a Tatiana tornado.

My man, Stephen Fowler. Come on Shaker Heights! We really need a knockout tonight. At this point we?ll settle for a bunt single honestly. ?Rock With You?, Michael Jackson? Fo? reals? I?m getting cruise ship flashbacks, even money on Simon making that comment now. It was good, not great, average, and a poor song choice. I?m guessing we may see Stephen come wild card week. If not it could be sayonara and goodbye for Stephen.

Tatiana is the whole f?n show. No need even for a last name now. Mariah?Whitney?Tatiana. Yeah! Two seconds in and she is already Constantine-eyefucking the camera. Amazingly the hyena girl is the only female that can sing in tune tonight. The train wreck named Tati may have actually pulled it off. Could have lived without the drama theatrics but all together it was semi-decent. For tonight, that is high praise. Only problem is that some week in the future the percocets are going to wear off and the true Tatiana is going to rear its ugly head.

Creepy dead wife Danny is closing the show. Whoring out his wife?s death yet again in the intro. Methinks he sang this song to the congregation at whatever cult church he?s the choir director at before. Pauler stands up and asks the bartender for a drink mid-song. That gets Hokey Gokey off his groove. Christ, do we really need another David Cook? If you listen closely you can hear goats bleating. My guess is he will be pimped to the heavens and be the top male. Big deal, the judges aren?t even believable outside of Simon.

All together it was an awful, awful night. Words cannot adequately describe the epic suckage. See, suckage isn?t even a word. If singing were a painting, these 12 dolts gave us a Jackson Pollock.

Who should advance: Dead-wife Danny, Anne Marie, Tatiana

Who will advanace: Danny, Anne Marie, Anoop

early results from dial idol have Alexis and Daniel way out in front


Alexis was easily the best female singer. But tatiana will get a shitload of votes since votefortheworst wants everyone to vote for her

Add these to Dobes greatest quotes:

"Let?s go to the judges: Dawg, durr, drunk, dick."

"Pauler stands up and asks the bartender for a drink mid-song."


Gotta' disagree with you about Ann Marie though. She is hot but that was not a good rendition of Natural Woman.

Re: American Idol 2009- Season 8 Thread and Discussion

I think it was Randy's reaction to Stevie's song that had me I had no idea what he said be he basically had a Scooby Doo moment.

In order:

1. Jackie Tohn - One of the worst spots, going 2 hours before the phones open. Strike 1. The clothes - strike 2. Performing "with lots of energy and stage presence" to mask her manly voice, strike 3. Pretty sure she was on the "happy sauce" as she randomly hugged someone's mom after another contestant's performance. Only thing weirder would've been a hug with a dad....

2. Ricky Braddy - Actually pretty darn good, but who knows who this guy is? A bad slot (2) as he's far from the end, but he'll get swamped by the end of the night (likely).

3. Alexis Grace - Ahhhh....my sleeper got down wit' the dirty.... Best pick of the draft I think, especially with the follow-up contestants. She looked good and sounded quite good, but I'm not thrilled with the song choice. The judges definitely loved it, and given that one of the six girls will advance, I like her odds.

4. Brent Keith
- I hope you have a digital converter in Hicktown to watch the rest of the season.

5. Stevie Wright - Wrong.

What the hell was that? Downhill from this point on, with a few bumps of goodness in between (speaking of Boskovich, I'll get to her in a minute). Shrill monotone for $300, Alex.

6. Anoop Dogg - Normally I'd be all over Anoop here with the , but come on dude - pick a song someone under 25 might know. You have the popularity, don't blow this. I still think he was technically good enough in singing it to advance, but you gotta do more - dawg.

7. Casey Carlson - Come on girl, you have the High School Musical look rocking and you pick a Sting song? Then you sing it with nearly no range. Sure you showed emotion, but it looked like they were randomly generated. I think she could see the wildcard round, but she needs a ton of help (and lots of "she's cute" votes).

8. Michael Sarver - Another :eek:uch: That was off beat and not in a good way. This just in - not every football-looking guy has to sing country. You could have done a mean Blues Brothers type performance, but no.... and now you're likely done despite the judges begging for votes for you.

9. Ann Marie boskovich - She looked damn good in that turquiose dress, but then she sang. Now, I think she sang good - for her - but she was maybe 2nd or 3rd best female on the night (Alexis and Crazy ). She has a shot to advance.

10. Stephen Fowler - On the loooooove boat........

Dude, come on. When I heard the interview, I could hear how he might be able to pull of Michael Jackson, but he blew it. I agreed with the judges, no room for versatility or flexibility with that song. Singing it straight means a direct comparison to MJ, something you don't want. Sorry, you're done.

11. Tatiana - Why do I think she's holding a knife behind her back? Very tough song (Whitney? Don't they always say don't do Whitney?) but she pulled off enough moments to make it seem like she could advance. VFTW and the crazy crowd

12. Robert Downey Jr. (Danny Gokey) - Very good performance. Always a ??? when you cross over a song's original artist gender-wise (i.e. male sings female artist's song). Finished very strong and the 12-hole is a lock for advancement.

RDJ and Alexis are my picks to advance, with Anoop in the 3rd spot.

Carlson, Sarver and Tatiana could be wildcards with an outside chance for Braddy.

Re: American Idol 2009- Season 8 Thread and Discussion

I felt bad for Stephen Fowler. He bombed. After given a 2nd chance in Hollywood I was hoping he would do well but when he said he was going to sing MJ's Rock With You, I had a feeling it was going to blow...It did.

Jackie Tohn- Sounds like a parrot getting stabbed with a toothpick. She seems like fun though.

Ricky Braddy- Nice voice. Maybe a wild card spot for him?

A Grace- Didnt really get it. OK, but where did all that praise come from? I bet her not to get most votes +700

Brent Keith- Back to living paycheck to paycheck. Sorry dude. Buh-Bye oij213490

Cute little Stevie Wright- Boy that just wasnt too good now was it? If she puts out at the prom, she will make some dude happy.

Our very own Anoop Dsethi- Preppy Apu is pretty boring. Not that I am a fashion genius here, but you should be wearing some nice shoes with that outfit, not the giant blue and white basketball sneakers. Are you fucking retarded? Paula likes him, need we say more?

Casey Carlsson- Would be tons of fun at Mardi Gras. Not much power in the voice. Probably got this far on the demographic thing, which is they need some hot chicks. Based on the hooters, I say put her through America, put her through. :party

Michael Sarver- He can have some beers with Brent Keith after work next week. That was fucking awful.

Anne Marie Malloy-Whitaker,Scarnato,Beard-Smithovich Pretty good. Little bit of a country version. Apparently the judges are about to slam her. Remember they are not the brightest bunch. There was a wee bit of 25-1 on her to get most votes. Worth a crack.

Underpowered chubby Michael Jackson- WTF was that? Well it sure was boring. I do not want to rock with you sir. looking for a job next week? check www.carnival.com or check for a lounge job here.... www.rivierahotel.com Him and Big Love Corkery dont look like much of favorites. Looks like GreenDoberman at picking Idol is over the hill and washed up like Dontrell Willis.


The lovely mad gypsy temptress, Tatiana Del Toro- She sang fairly well. Did she recently eat a VW Bug though? man that is a big can. Dont wear jeans on the show Tatiana. Mandissa tried that. It really didnt look good.
Go Tatiana. Love ya :houra


Dead-Wife Dickhead Danny- I want to punch him in the fucking head. I hope he wins though so this shitfest of a show gets a winner that will sell even fewer Cd's than the weird creepy vampire slash Yogi bear outfit wearing clown from last year.

STFU Kara. Jeez this show is a joke. Overreact why dont the judges. Kara stop with the orgasm. Somebody restrain Kara before she rips off her panties and attacks ole dead-Wife. Dickhead did sing well. he is through to the next round.
 
Re: American Idol 2009- Season 8 Thread and Discussion
