Someday, I'll tell people about my life, but for now, I'll just be an ass.
I just can't imagine posting one of those "Pray for me, I just lost my job and my Froot Loops are Stale" posts. I mean, they're cool and stuff, but......I don't trust you online motherfuckers

Hey, I'm looking for a job. Join the club. I make sure my cereal remains fresh, though. That must be where you and I fail to see eye-to-eye.

I think what happened to the Doobies was one of the most radical shifts in rock music. The band that put out China Grove, Listen to the Music, Rockin' Down the Highway, Long Train Running and Jesus is Just Alright gave way to crap like Real Love, Minute by Minute and What a Fool Believes.

To be honest, I don't eat that shit. Even as a kid, I usually stayed away from the sugary cereals. I prefer plain cereals or granola or the ones with fruits/nuts. Just give me flakes and I'm happy. No need to add sugar.

Yeah, I think we passed each other on I-10. That was the day of the FSU/Miami game. You know, the game we were leading until late in the game and should have won, but the kicker blew a chance to win it at the end?

I was just in Orlando, on I-Drive near the convention center. Partying with wild insurance executives. I almost made it with a CPA AND an actuary in the same night!

Taylor Hicks doing Georgia On My Mind. It seems like a given that he'll pull this one out at some point during the competition.

I found it on a blog. I'm too lazy to spend that much time looking for an AI contestant's music. Although, I was impressed with the Maxim and Stuff Mag pics from the O'Donoughue twins...

No discussion of last night's performances? Can't say I'm surprised. That was like my personal nightmare episode. Lousy, uninspired performances for the most part, of songs by artists and/or in genres I despise - several different country songs, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Bette Midler. All I needed was a Barbra Streisand cover and I would have hanged myself.
I think last night played up the problem with making this a 4-month competition - there are clearly several people a cut above the rest, and they're just treading water until the competition gets down to 6 or so (including the guys). That's about 2 months of safe songs/performances to get bored with. And the others are really not cut out for this stuff - the wife and I are taking particular delight in watching Brenna do so poorly, since she seems to be the only one on the show who has that "undeserved diva" complex. This is why Rockstar is superior to AI - aside from the fact that its music I like and the band is part of the show, even when the vocals aren't all that great, we typically get very good performances which make up for it. Or at the very least, interesting attempts to craft a well-known song into something unique, by people who may be amateurs, but have musical abilities beyond just singing into their mirror. I know that the "unknown factor" is one of the reasons for the success of AI, but look at the people who are the best this season - I don't think any of them are completely unknown talents, aside from Pickler, and the wife and I agree that if she doesn't get control of her nerves, eventually she's going to keep giving uninspired performances and get booted. I thought last night was not good for her, and Simon was dead on - the "calamari" thing gave her some life. At some point, she's got to show personality through her singing, not her backstory. Anyway, here's hoping tonight is better. Seeing as though I'm going to see Glen Philips after AI ends, I can guarantee that tonight will be better than last night for me, anyway.

I do agree that last night was generally a night of subpar performances. Mrs. Eaglesfan thought most of them sounded poor to average with Mandisa sounding the best (but still not great or even very good - just good.) We both think the guys so far are showing themselves to be stronger as a group. Of course, that could change tonight. However, we don't think the guys will be worse than last night. |

Very very meh overall.
The one thing I liked was that the judges, aka Paula, were more willing to give real criticism this week, rather than give bland compliments. And sadly, I truly cannot remember most of the performances given since they were just so .. meh. |

Paula has definitely done a better job of giving criticism. The mark of death on a performance is when one or more judges starts with "you look hot tonight." I always enjoy those.

I said last night that Brenna and Heather would be gone. I just think people think Brenna is too big of a bitch. I think Kellie is trying way to hard to come across as cute. I thought the song was fine but afterwards was a bit silly. Paris and Mandisa have some pipes but they do not have the stage presence to win. I think this year will be going to a guy.

Yep agree with everyone else. These were the types of performances I was expecting on Night 1 of the the Top 12 performances. I think the best I might give any of them was a 7 out of 10, maybe an 8. My darkhorse amongst the ladies remains Ayla. Unlike Simon I don't think she is all that mechanical. I think she has a lot of charisma when she sings and has that interesting backstory too (college basketball).
Heather should have gone last week, and her performance last night should seal the deal for her. The second person to go should be Brenna, but those who like the fact that she basically embarasses herself each time she opens her mouth will likely keep her around another week. In that case it will likely be Kinnik who goes, but I think they are all in danger this week with those performances. Last edited by Thomkal : 03-01-2006 at 01:52 PM. |

Problem with Ayla is that she's a bit too pristine to capture the "hearts and minds" of common folk. She's almost the antithesis of Pickles. She's a top student, has a college basketball scholarship, appears refined (despite the tomboy stuff, I don't believe that (beyond like 12 years old) - she cleans up rather well and looks comfortable)...and oh yeah, daddy is a state senator.
At some point, this could become a "who needs it most" type decision. You've got Ayla, Lisa Tucker the Great (starred in Lion King at 10 and was on Star Search at 13), and Paris, who has connections to the business. And then there's Pickles, who I think will continue to sail through because she's hot and seems down to earth (almost too down to earth, really). The only things to stop Pickles will be her nerves, the Carrie Underwood Factor, and 1 of about 3 guys.

I have to admit that I'm kind of rooting for Ayla, and I'm not really sure why. I think she's better than given credit for, although not the top singer in the competition certainly. I agree with Ksyrup, though. Her "elite" status, whether real or just perceived, won't help her.

I like the nickname "Pickles." I also think the Carrie Underwood factor could hurt her at least late in the competition.

I like Ayla, I think her singing is stronger then the judges say and it's to the point where she is so not the underdog, that she actually is the underdog.
I like Lisa, Melissa and Katharine as well |
