I took notes this time. LOL

In the *OK* category for me:
Patrick, Will (though I don't remember him. LOL), Kevin

*Pretty good
Chris, Elliott (Simon says "best male vocal ever"??!)

*Good*
David (I liked it. The heck w/the judges.), Gedeon (though I'm not crazy about the smile, either), Ace (doing the Constantine thing, but much more subtly.), Taylor (I love my Taylor!)

*Yuk!*
Bucky, Sway, Bobby

Bobby & Sway don't belong there.

I wish Paula would not love everybody so much. And I wish she would shut up & let Simon speak.

It bothers me that they balance the genders. Some good people are going to go in order to leave a spot for the other gender.

And it's started already, w/David. Now they're saying "Do what you do best. Be yourself." In a few weeks they'll be calling him one-dimensional & telling him to take a chance.

Did anybody notice Kevin's constant blinking? His first audition was awesome. I hope he gets back to that level.

You KNOW as soon as you hear anybody, esp. Simon, say, "With all due respect,..." that he's going to say something bad. Then he tells Ryan he "plays at" this job, whereas Simon "does it for a living." Yeah, right. Real respect.

Hey Katz,

Patrick, Will (though I don't remember him. LOL), Kevin
Agree here with you!


*Pretty good
Chris, Elliott (Simon says "best male vocal ever"??!)
Disagree, LOL .. Elliot was excellent .. mho
Chris good, better than others


*Good*
David (I liked it. The heck w/the judges.), Gedeon (though I'm not crazy about the smile, either), Ace (doing the Constantine thing, but much more subtly.), Taylor (I love my Taylor!)
No .. David won't last .. Gideon .. eh, so -so, LOL
Ace is the Man ::blush::
Taylor .. you can have him ..
He sings well but is not the best & is strange


*Yuk!*
Bucky, Sway, Bobby
Yes they can all go, LOL


Bobby & Sway don't belong there.
Absolutely .. bet at least one of them will be gone tonight


I wish Paula would not love everybody so much. And I wish she would shut up & let Simon speak.
Think maybe she does that because of Simon?
I do agree though .. least she could do the sandwich effect, LOL


It bothers me that they balance the genders. Some good people are going to go in order to leave a spot for the other gender.
Have to say I think the girls outshine the boys so far


Did anybody notice Kevin's constant blinking? His first audition was awesome. I hope he gets back to that level.
As cute as he is .. don't think he'll last.
Did not notice the blinking .. maybe nerves?


You KNOW as soon as you hear anybody, esp. Simon, say, "With all due respect,..." that he's going to say something bad. Then he tells Ryan he "plays at" this job, whereas Simon "does it for a living." Yeah, right. Real respect
Tough job ..
Thanks for your thoughts .. tonight will be interesting :)

Yes, I agree last night was worth watching in my opinion. The girls were awesome too when they performed on Tuesday night.

Heehee. Check it out. An NPR station has a page on Taylor Hicks, & apparently had it up long before he made AI:

UPDATE: Taylor Hicks is featured on the current season of American Idol. As of this writing, he is still part of the show.

UPDATE: (Feb. 8th) Taylor Hicks' CD "Under the Radar" is available at Laser's Edge Compact Discs . Or call Charlemagne Record Exchange at (205) 322-5349.

Which brings up something talked about on the TV board. Some of the women, including Paris & Lisa, as well as taylor, have extensive professional experience. Do you think that's fair? It doesn't seem quite right, but what kind of rule could they make to keep it to strictly amateurs?

I love my Taylor! ;o)

This is a good point Katz,

Hmmm .. although if one is so interested, then the professional help is warranted.
Don't think they can *use* that against them?
Do you recall if any of the others from other seasons had experience?
Don't think Carrie did, did she?

No, not professional help. Professional experience. Taylor has played with James Brown, Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, & is currently collaborating with Keb Mo. (I love Keb Mo!) Paris has opened for Bow Wow, among others. Mandisa has performed with Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill & Charlie Daniels. Lisa played Nala in Disney's L.A. production of The Lion King, & was named by Variety as one of the "top 10 Talents to Watch."

Hi Katz,
Wow I didn't realize how *professional* they were/are.
Now I am not so sure that is fair .. you're right.
Would imagine others that make it just have the talent ..
And never were able to *perform* like the ones you said have.
Interesting & I do think there should be a *criteria* :)
