American Idol: Season 10

[Sgt Pepper]

Beyonce's single is pretty awesome too. Can't stop listening to it.



And where's Karen Walker? I'd love to hear his thoughts on the Country Idol finale.

 

[FanofFiction]

So disappointed. I'm over American Idol.

 

[pixie77]

Beyonce was dissapionting
Tony bennet bennet , tom jones, lady gaga all good but for me Steven Tyler stole the final show.
James won the show for me

Personally, I love Scotty and am so glad he won. I've been pulling for him since I saw his audition. I think he's a great kid and I personally love his voice and will buy his music. To each his own.

 

[SonOfSlobone]

I knew he was a shoo-in from the moment he kissed his crucifix after being contaminated by Lady Gaga...

I remember everyone who was so up Matt's ass on Survivor because he was an in your face Christian even though he never said a word that was derogatory toward anyone - and we have Lauren and Scotty who sang religious songs during the show, had parents giving the Holy Roller hand and head to God move, and both were afraid of Gaga. These are 2 mfing people who want to be in the music industry and they have been so sheltered that they are afraid of the real world and real people (at least those that don't look like their perception of what a person is), so my opinion of both is fuck off assholes. With the legislature recently passed in Tennessee and in Minnesota they are trying to get a bill passed banning gay marriage and the shit load of Southern people who are homophobic and back water ass fuck dumber that a mountain of rocks, the stupid asswipes who are members of Rev. Longs congregation who don't believe he takes dick in the ass and paid off the guys who accused him - I say fuck all you 'waiting for the rapture' on the edge of Jim Jones kool aid dunk fools.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

I say fuck all you 'waiting for the rapture' .

Lauren's probably still waiting on the rapture cuz she can't read or tell time.

 

[matt1980111]

^Ummm. Yeah. Ok.

Scotty, imo, is soooo incredily horrible it's not funny. He's a horrible Josh Turner knockoff and can only sing 3 notes.

The fact that his horrible single knocked Adele's off the Number 1 spot (and is still there) on Itunes makes me want to vomit.

I remember everyone who was so up Matt's ass on Survivor because he was an in your face Christian even though he never said a word that was derogatory toward anyone.

For me personally, my thing with Matt is that I was tired of his one-note religious edit. I'm sure he's probably a nice person in real life, but I like my Survivor characters to be more dynamic than "God god god god redemption Jesus." Since Idol doesn't try to edit their contestants to be "characters" as much as Survivor does, Scotty and Lauren being portrayed religious never got under my skin in the same way.

Although, parents of contestants who made Hollywood round said that Lauren made homophobic comments and was a bitch to people, so that's one of the reasons why I never liked her, nor did I ever buy into her sweet southern belle routine. I haven't heard the same about Scotty so I don't have much of a reason to dislike him.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

I never thought I'd say this, but Scotty can do better.

 

[slipintothefog]

But Alaina may be riding the relationship train solo, when asked about the pair's off-screen relationship McCreery made it clear that he is definitely "still single"...

Dear Lauren Alaina,

[That70sJoe]

But Scotty is 25% Puerto Rican!1!1!! Not that anybody would be able to tell just from looking at him.

Though, more seriously, David Archuleta wasn't completely white either, and unlike Scotty, you could actually tell that he has some non-Caucasian heritage in him from his Honduran mother.

I didn't really watch this season so no clue that Scotty has some Latin roots. I knew about Archuleta and if he had beaten Cook, I would've considered him the last minority to win.

Also noteworthy re: this topic was that the first 4 eliminations for AI 2011 were minority girls.

 

[slipintothefog]

Well, really, Casey would have been out before Namia and Thia if not for the save. Which is why I never believed the people who claimed that Casey was still supposed to be a front runner after the top eleven.

 

[LibreX]

I've enjoyed the season so far but I'm not sure I'll enjoy it after Hollywood week since there doesn't seem to be anyone for me to root for. Steven and J-Lo are good judges, much better than the ones that left. Steven seems to be the new Paula since it seems like he never says no unless one of the other judges says no first with the exceptions of the obvious nos. They need at least one hot guy in the top 24. The best bet is probably that Stefano guy. Voicewise I like Robbie Rosen's voice.

I'm excited. I can't wait to see how some of the changes will work. I like some of them but others appear to be really annoying.

 

[LibreX]

Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with Jacob until at least the top 4 or 5. Just look at last week. Not only did his performance suck ass, he pissed everyone off with his egotistical "America isn't ready to look at themselves in the mirror" comment. I thought for sure Ryan would send his ass packing Thursday night, but he was safe. If last week didn't do him in, this week certainly won't.

 

[LibreX]

You know, I've defended Katy Perry before as a fun pop confection -- and I'll always be grateful to her for "Teenage Dream" which inadvertently gave us Darren Criss -- but what the fuck is this shit??

And i can not understand why you people keep bringing up who is hotter and who looks sexier on stage. For me it is all about the voice and some some short cute italian kid and his eyes are bulging out of his head like marty feldman for christ sake! rant over.

 

[LibreX]

Paul was absolutely atrocious. So glad he's back to what he does best: sucking

Lauren Alaina's transformation into Miss Piggy is almost complete.

Aijalon should be happy. Stefano was VERY GOOD tonight. In fact, I'd say that's his best performance since the live show began. (And god he looked fine.)

Loved the irony of Ryan saying "Stefano...GIRLS." Heh. One mo helping to hide another mo.

I love when he said, "I'm going back to my country roots." BACK? When did you ever stray? You've been doing the same country/honky tonky smirky performance every fricking week. I love how people complained Pia was boring and predictable when Scotty is basically Country Pia minus the talent.

 

[trinket]

LibreX, are you in a country that has a delayed showing of the season? Or stuck in a time warp? It's weird to see your succession of posts suddenly in this thread when the season ended many months ago.

 

[Weston]

And here are the stats for those who made the finals (Final 2) and had at least one bottom three/bottom two trip under the belt.

So basically, all the winners except Fantasia NEVER made it to bottom three or two. And of the runner-ups, Clay Aiken, David Archuleta, [STRIKE]Adam Lambert [/STRIKE]and Crystal Bowersox can boast the same. What does this all mean?

Adam Lambert was bottom 2 on Top 5 Rat Pack Week when he sang Feeling Good.
