AMERICAN IDOL -- Season six!!!!

[Sunny]

Yes, I guess it'd be a bit much.

Okay ANYONE out there have a recommendation for a good antenna to buy so I can pick up Fox?????? Hubby says that we'll probably end up ordering cable again, but after we move.

Does FOX have a local station in your area? I know you can pick up an antenna at walmart (I paid about $25 for one a few years back) that helps pick up a couple local stations. If it doesn't work, you can always take it back.Good luck!

Did anyone watch last night?!?

It was pretty darn disappointing to me. I'll be very glad when the auditions are over & they get down to the top 20 or 12 or whichever.

They only showed 1 or 2 good auditions last night -- the rest were all goof-offs or people that should've never gotten that far.

To me, it was just a mockery last night.

[followsthewolf]

Saw a couple of reviews that panned the show for exactly what you said.

They (the reviewers) stated that the producers are letting too many untalented acts through the screening, purely for entertainment purposes. This, the reviewers said, is watering down the talent pool in an artificial way.

Personally, I tried watching the first night, and just found it boring. I started reading the latest issue of U.S. News and World Report, waiting for someone talented to audition.

[Sunny]

...sad to say it wasn't much better last night. At least they showed a few more talented folks.

[H4TK]

Aww, it just broke my heart when Ian (Gloria!) didn't make it thru. To let such talent just slip thru their fingers!    LOL 

[Sunny]

So...only one more night of auditions left? Hallelujah! Although, last night was okay. Not *too* much drama.

It gets better from here. Especially after Hollywood!

My favorite from last night -- the guy with the curly hair -- or was that on Tuesday night?

[Sunny]

Yipee! We go to Hollywood tonight, dawgs!

[Sunny]

So, Bailey Brown is out...*shocked*...only a few standing out so far. In particular, the big guy with curly hair & glasses...he'll be in the final 20.

[Sunny]

This guy:

[Sunny]

YEAH! He made it to the Top 24!

Any thoughts on this??!?? Are you watching this season or just plain give up on it?

Who do you have your eye on???

[H4TK]

It was heartbreaking when Bailey forgot words to her song. I knew instantly that she would be gone. I will have to watch a few more weeks before I decide who I will be pulling for. You really can't tell much now, they haven't performed a complete song, kinda hard to judge. I do think it will be a male winner this yr though.

[BEG]

I haven't given up on AI. 
In the past years, I've not really liked the episodes in Hollywood when they have to group up and perform. It's too much drama for me. So I didn't watch those shows this week.
Now that there's only 24, I will watch every show. 

[Sunny]

Thanks, ladies! I was beginning to think I was alone in my AI obsession. lol!

I agree, BEG -- they could eliminate the shows up to this point because they're a bit "predictable" & drama-filled....but, at the same time, it is neat at the end of the season to see the finalists back at the audition stage.

H4TK, out of curiosity, what makes you think it'll be a male winner? 

[H4TK]

I think the male contestants could sing better. None of the women really impressed me as "stand out" good. I did like the one lady that was the single mom....can't remember her name though. I was helping daughter with her homework while the show was on.
