Wow. Amazing guy on American Idol
« on: March 27, 2008, 12:43:40 PM »
Okay, I must confess, I have never watched a single episode of this show. Ever.

I stumbled across this guy's performance and he's just amazing. At least his version of this song was. Enjoy.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I don't watch AI faithfully, but I did see this performance.  I think the guy was incredible.  Real talent on display.  The arrangement was unbelievable.

That was a great performance. :)

However:

I just watch bits and pieces of the show that I find on YouTube.  That show is going down the drain, that's all I can say.  I was once an avid watcher, but given the track record of winners losing their contracts within 2 years or so, it's not really worth it anymore.

Edit: Okay, Okay...I confess.  I'm bitter about Chikezie getting sent home.  :bawl:

Yeah, I agree...go look at some of his other stuff on there too. Eleanor Rigby was pretty awesome as well and he rocked up Lionel Ritchie's "Hello" :-) I have watched it for a few years, my oldest loves it, and this guy is probably one of the most original and talented by far that's been on there. Success should have found him sooner imo.

You have to watch it for the peripheral talent. Some of those who are runners up a few deep are the ones with the really great talent. In the end it depends on if the winner is the popularity winner or the winner based on talent.

I know what you mean.  I admit I'm not only upset by the most recent elimination, but am still a little angry about last season, when Melinda Doolittle should have won.

You'll have to watch some interviews in the beginning, but trust me, this performance proved she was better than Jordin Sparks by FAR. 

Okay, I'll quit bitching now. :p

Tuesday it seemed like the first hour sucked other then a few good commercials, and we all know there are plenty of them.

David Cook has stood out to me from the start, but of course, his latest idol hit was simply a "cover of a cover" which was once done by Chris Cornell. But he still did it very well. I would of liked to have seen him try to do that to a song that nobody has touched before.

The only musical gift I have is the gift of appreciation...so they all amaze me.

Oh, I never realized she'd done another video.  That's a good song. :)

OMG Simon is such a tool!  :evillaugh:

Ok, that performance totally kicked Michael Jackson's pasty white butt. Thank you for that Dixie!

It is. The song fits her that's for sure.

AI fans, be careful what you post.  YouTube is pulling down a bunch of clips showcasing this season's contestants.  :bird:

Yes, David Cook kicks some major buttage.

They were pulling down a bunch of Chikezie clips of his "I've Just Seen a Face" performance.  That raised my blood pressure!  :censored:

You'd think they want to build excitement for the tour of the top 10...Chikezie will be in that.  :thatsright:<--you tube

I won't be able to decide between David Cook or Carly Smithson for the winner.  I already have a couple of their songs on my iPod (pre-record full-length studio versions to go along with their on camera versions).  They'll both have hit records out, for sure.

If there's any justice in the world, Archuletta and Castro will go away!   ::)  I don't know how they've managed to cling to life for this long.

Archuletta has the all-important <15 vote.  Not only will he go deep, but he is The Chosen One.  Think Sanjaya with the ability to actually sing.

Agreed.  For me, Archeleta and Castro have NOT been performing well as of late, and haven't shown signs of improvement (plus, Archeleta's song choices aren't very good, either.  I've heard the choices are made by his "stage parent" of a father, but who knows for sure? *shrugs* )

I'm still upset with Chikezie being gone, but I will likely support either Cook or Smithson in the end.   I can see those two going all the way.

I haven't watched AI since season II. When it gets down to the finalist it's more about popularity than talent.

I wonder if there is anyone that got rejected by AI that's went on to become famous or at least well known ?
