American Idol (April 20th and 21st) - What A Wonderful Top 7 (Or Not)

[Allskate]

I don't know where Peter is, so I'm starting the thread.

Here's the spoiler list:

Spoiler

Casey James – Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow – Fleetwood Mac

Lee Dwyze – The Boxer

Tim Urban – Better Days – Goo Goo Dolls

Aaron Kelly – I Believe I Can Fly

Siobhan Magnus – When you Believe – Mariah and Whitney

Michael Lynche – Hero – Alt version?-

Crystal – People Get Ready – started a capella no guitar – weird microphone stand, weird evening gown.

I thought Lee was going to do the one that Tim is doing. Not sure about Casey's choice. Don't think it will do much for him. And, oh Siobhan.

[PeterG]

I was just gonna do it (almost forgot!) But you forgot to add a poll!

Spoiler

ETA: I'm hoping Crystal will do the Crystal Lewis song, but I'm 99% sure she'll pick the Curtis Mayfield song (covered by Rod Stewart).

Also, I believe Aaron Can Freefall.

Can we re-do the AI thread and add the poll? I'm always interested in what other FSUers are thinking.

Just saw the spoilers....Aaron and Siobhan are going to be Bottom 3 just because of song choice alone. Yikes....

I will do that and ask an Admin to merge the threads.

[Allskate]

Sorry about the poll!

And, yes Peter, I think you're right about Aaron!

Spoiler

Apparently he's doing the Ruben Studdard song.

[soxxy]

Good, a quick 59 minutes, let's sing.

[WindSpirit]

I've merged the threads (together with Peter G's poll) and and removed two posts that would be redundant.

casey is no lindsey buckingham.


but then very few are

[soxxy]

I question Casey's vocal on Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow....powerful, but a few pitch problems. I liked his guitar playing.

[rfisher]

Who cares. He's pretty.

and goat vocals showing up

[Allskate]

Who cares. He's pretty.

The finale could come down to determining whether Casey or Tim is more attractive.

[shuilee]

I feel like Casey is coasting every week by his good looks. The judges are correct to criticize him. He really isn't doing anything original or special.....I'm bored with the same ole thing from Casey.

[PrincessLeppard]

Having read the song list, that's the best song of the night. I don't know if I can watch this show. I hate all these songs.

[Beefcake]

Why, Siobhan? Why? (Horrible, "no win" song selection.)

[my little pony]

I may vote for Casey for default because his song isnt super sugary

I don't think that Andrew was singing better than he was. And some of the remaining contestants aren't all that great special or original either. If he outlasts someone like Crystal then I'll be ticked off. At this point, I don't care all that much if Casey or Crystal are original. I prefer their singing styles to most of the other people who made the top 12.

[numbers123]

Who cares. He's pretty.

so was lindsey and he could belt that song out. (I say was, because isn't lindsey like 61?)



Lee - I see randy telling you that wasn't a good change up.

[soxxy]

Lee does a pretty good job on The Boxer....too many li di lies' or whatever.

[rfisher]

I actually liked that by Lee. I really hope the top 3 is he, Casey and Crystal.
