I hate to say it, but i think blondie's gonna win... she's so american pie..

damn... i want fantasia to win... what do you think the chances are of that happening???

I stopped watching Idol after the audition process this year but I did happen to catch last night's show.

Of the 4 left, I don't like any of them. But I think Fantasia is the best of what's left.

Don Soporno · 05-13-2004, 07:18 AM

its so much of a scam this year even the judges are being thrown off. I was shocked when Jennifer was last and reallyshocked when George was sent home but this has confirmed my fears that its totally fake and just a formality that fox has to go through. I told my girlfriend ysterday morning this was gonna happen when one of the producers of AI did an interview and said " Be ready for an upset tonight"

I don't think it's a scam in the sense that Fox is going against the votes, I think people just aren't voting. They assume the better one will win, so they don't vote for that person. Meanwhile the people that like the underdogs vote a lot to help them out.

Fox wouldn't care who wins, their interest is in having people watch the SHOW, not buy the album at the end. That goes to Simon's record company if I'm correct.

Voters are stupid.....

They don't get it, ooooo I love what she is wearing so I will vote for her today.....

It is all crap and I hope that the contestants that got voted off who shouldn't have been get a record contract and if blondie wins I hope she is hanging with Justin Guarini.....losers...

Jennifer and Huff suxed, just cuz you folks liked them doesn't mean everyone else does. Fantasia is fucken ghetto and don't have any idea of how to dress. The young chick will take it all. Fantasia is next to get the boot. IMO

How do you figure that? Jennifer and George were both very good singers, definatly better than Diana and Latoya was the best one of all of them. Its nto a matter of who I liked its a matter of who can sing.

venturi · 05-13-2004, 07:40 PM

The reason the good singers are going and the twits are staying is because 98% of the votes are coming from adolecent and young teen voters with text messaging on their cellphones.

yes and this is why I feel like it is a farce. We dont know who is getting more votes..we have no fucking clue who is voting for who or even if the votes are counted correctly so I honestly think Fox has some cheese invested in someone specific and therefore everyone else must go.

BTW Venturi, whats up with you? How you been?

nanda · 05-13-2004, 10:12 PM

Scam...I think so! I think LaToya and Fantasia should have won

Just cuz you like them dosen't mean I do or anyone else. I like country and I don't expect everyone else to jump up and down with joy when they hear the Dixie Chicks. I did think Jennifer and George were good but IMHO they were not as good as Diana or Amy Adams. Its all about personal taste, period. This contest was designed to give people the right to vote and majority always wins and thats the bottom line. I can almost bet that most people on here complaining about who should win didn't vote.

youknow what, your absolutly right, I htought Amy could sing her ass off but she had a country voice and they ar elooking for a pop star. I do think she will be very successful if she goes after a country deal. And Diana has a voince but you cant argue wiht the fact that latoya could sing, anything, hell she probably already has a record deal by now with Elton...lol

LaToya was very good and very cute, she will be successful no doubt.

Hey Don! I'm doin pretty good when I'm not battling retards with no brains on "that other board". I'm actually retiring from that crap, there's no point in a discussion with people that are all complete cockholsters without a brain.

Cold_Ice, just because I can't stand Country or Western doesn't mean I can't respect a good vocalist.

Amy was great, agreed, but she wasn't 19Entertainment material - *sniff* because I loved her spunk and her voice. American Idol is all about creating the next Britney Spears (which they will never do) and advertising for FOX.
I had full scholarships to two universities for my voice back in the day. I however don't have a solo voice - there aren't many solo artists that have a true low bass voice. LOL, I'da been great signing with the Oakridge Boys on "Elvira" though. Doubt I still can, but I used to be able to hit low-E without straining.

I'm actually glad that LaToya is out of the competition as she'd be smothered in the 19Ent environment. She's so much better that the crap they spit out (can you say Spice Girls?).

I think Clay will be around for a long time and I also think Joshua will be great if he sticks to country. I think fox can and will Create a new star. How long they shine is up to them and how hard they work and how well they market themselves. No matter how a star is formed they can all be a one hit wonder or an artist for decades. just my two cents

kassidy · 05-19-2004, 02:48 AM

Fantasia was AMAZING tonight. If she doesn't win I'll never watch the show again.

The good thing about these shows is...regardless of who wins, the performers with true talent are getting awesome exposure and will end up with a record deal. Elton John and Clive Davis have both already said they'd offer Fantasia a contract in a heartbeat.

America is stupid, I have no doubts about that. Either the terrible Hawaiian girl or the so-so blonde will win. Both girls have potential talent, but they're too young and need to hone their craft for a few years.

Sad, but true.

Don Soporno · 05-19-2004, 08:43 AM

the people that are being allowed to vote should really be shot up to this point. That Jasmin chick is probably gonna win it all just ont he fucking sympathy vote which sucks since she should have been gone a few weeks ago. I did like Joshua but I really honestly can do without Clay, I mean really, dont we already have enough women pop stars???...lol... Fantasia's rendention of Chain of Fools was off the chain last night, she broke it down and for that she deserves her props.

Vid Vicious · 05-19-2004, 12:31 PM

Fantasia is taken it home ..

she'll be the best American Idol yet

anyone know if Latoya was offered a contract?

SexyScribe · 05-19-2004, 01:52 PM

Fantasia's gotta win. There's just no comparison anymore.

That being said, blondie will probably take it.

Im sure Latoya had a contract ready for her before the the show ended the night she was sent home. isnt she the one Elton told that he would sign her right away if he could, or was it Barry, Barry like Jennifer didnt he? I cant fucking remember at this point I just know its a sham and a scam...lolololol
