OMG, I didn't even notice that.
Has anyone seen "Are you smarter than a 5th grader"
Errrmmm, I'm not.http://www.ask-it-here.com/emoticons/bash.gif
Well, I got MOST of last weeks questions right. But even Johnny (5) got some right too.http://www.ask-it-here.com/emoticons/embarassed.gif
There does seem to be more friction between Ryan and Simon this year. Ryan really hates Simon. And, I think Simon doesn't give a damn. I have to admit, I have secret crush on Simon. Shhh. Don't tell anyone. ;) He cracks me up and for the most part, he is right on target with his opinions
J_9, I have seen that show. Love the kiddies on it. I wondered if they are picking contestants who really don't remember anything. Most of those questions, I knew the answers to. I am a big fan of Jeopardy when I have the time to watch it. I wonder what would happen if they used any of those contestants for that new show. Some of those questions were so easy. But, I guess nerves probably play a big factor in it. Fun and educational show actually. I think it will be around for a while.
Okay Ruby so you are smarter than a 5th grader, don't rub it in http://www.ask-it-here.com/emoticons/curse.gif. LOL
But I do like Simon's style, as cruel and crass as it is, he is honest, brutally honest, but honest nonetheless.
Yup, I am smarter than a 5th grader. Nyah to you.:p
I wish I could do the koooool graphics you can. My system isn't capable of it. I have been putting off buy a new system as long as I can. Now with the new Vista coming out, I might have to rethink it and find the money somehow. Although, I am thinking about switching to a MAC. When I am ready, I will be picking Scott's brain.
And yes, Simon is brutally honest. But, that is what got me hooked I think. If these kids would listen to what he says, it would serve them well.
Simon's attitude is what got me hooked too. Now though I kind of watch it to see what shape Paula will be in... although it was a lot worse during auditions, she seems better now.
I like that Smarter then a 5th grader show and I find the questions to be easy... but I can see where some would find them difficult. They are not questions that would arise in some peoples' everyday world.
Hi guys! Did you see A.I. tonight? I like it. It's one of the shows I really enjoy to get away from reality. That Pickler girl looked like a teenager last year & now she looked 30 to me last night!
Anyway, the guys have maybe one good singer but the gals have a few. The one who sang last tonight, I think she'll win or be close with the other black girl with the short hair. I do have to get their names. All that but I voted for the black girl, Semantha? no, but her name starts with S. I voted for the other Chris with the short hair. In fact , I voted for the both of them last week too.
Catherine McVee was on Jay Leno last night. I thought she was way better than Taylor Hicks but I think she lost because she acted a little stuck-up like attitude.
So, how did you like the gals' performances tonight?
Doolittle is an amazing singer. The best.
Simon is hilarious. I usually agree with him. Honest, straight to the point and does not really care if people like his opinion or not.
Joe
Hardly see the show, but my wife's had it on a few times this last week.
Simon is the only one on the show who has a clue and lives in the real world. Ryans insults about simon seem to be the only gag he's got at this point.
The only male who has a chance of sticking around is Burke. Since I really haven't followed the show in the past, I'm not sure of how the eliminations go. But the finals are going to come down to all girls. My prediction; DooLittle is going to do a LOT! Melinda is clearly the one to beat. Lakisha has a chance. Stephanie and Jordan will round out the top 4. The rest will fall by the wayside.
If Melinda Doolittle doesn't win this competition, I will be very, very upset and take it out on everyone around me! Heehee.
She has been the most consistent in her vocals. She is amazing. As all the judges pointed out, she is already in the professional category, she can cut an album tomorrow.
All the rest, cannot hold a candle to her. I love Lakisha but even she is miles behind Melinda.
Retrotia, I agree about Kelly Pickler. Her makeover made her look like a middle aged hausfrau.
The white rocker chick was pretty good last night only because she is different and sets herself apart from the crowd. There was another white girl there that was okay, but bland. I think she will go tonight. No one is ready for Barbarella to go home, even though she should. Sorry, can't remember any of the white girls names. They kind of all look alike to me.
Dogonnit! Rats!
They voted my gal off tonight! Even Randy said America got that one wrong. I thought she would go to the last 4. Bye Sabrina. She had more talent than all the white chicks combined.
AND she was better looking too.
So I guess I just want to see if Melinda beats Stephanie now. At least that's my opinion- those 2- but the way America kept those other white girls in this week- I'm not certain at all on how the votes will go.
Oh well, that was fun... NOT! :(
What about sundance getting the boot instead of sanjaya?
Sundance deserved another week. So did Jared. Phil, Chris and Sanjaya should have been the ones voted out (or at least 2 of those 3). But, frankly it don't matter. There are at least 5 girls better than any of the guys. Including Sabrina who got robbed last night.
But then even that don't matter. Unless she really screws up Melinda has it locked up.
Well, I finally got my wish! Barbie Doll is gone and we don't have to be tortured anymore listening to her sing. I was kind of shocked about Sabrina. There were others that should have gone before her. But, in the end I guess it doesn't matter. I think if Melinda keeps bringing it every week the way she has, she will walk away with it this year. But, sorry Retro, I don't agree about Stephanie. She has potential and I think she will be in the lower number of the finals but it is going to be neck and neck with LaKisha. Melinda is just so far ahead of everyone else in her capabilities, training, and talent. If for some strange reason, she doesn't win, she will be like Chris Daughtry and Clay Aiken. She will be picked up for a contract by someone and will do very, very well.
Yes J, I keep waiting for Sanjaya to get the boot. Not that unhappy about Sundance because he hasn't been very consistent in his performances. But, a little surprised that it wasn't the two of them going home instead of what was his name? Jared? Although I am not really disappointed. When compared to the women, only Blake has that certain something. What is weird about Sanjaya is that he is a good singer. His problem is a total lack of confidence. There is no power behind his voice and there isn't any spark in his performances. Simon was right. It is like watching a high school musical when he performs. He needs more work and polish and to get some self-assurance.
SUNDANCE! What the heck happened there?
Let's face it... Phil was nowhere as good as Sundance
Remember Jennifer Hudson was voted out in a previous year. Shows how knowledgeable Americans are about talent.
This is only a talent show until it gets to the final 24. When America starts voting it becomes a popularity contest. I guess Sabrina and Sundance don't have as many friends and Haley and Phil.
Very true Scott.
It is almost like Prom Queen and King when we were in high school
I agree Scott. It's a popularity contest. Simon was in a magazine saying he thinks it will be Melinda & Latisha. That , I wonder, must have been before Latisha sang last week-bc I didn't think she did the song any justice. The audience seems to like Blake. He's got a good chance if he sings as well as he did last week(which surprised me)
Peter Noon(sp) & Lulu(sp) were great guests. They both have had plastic surgery& looked great! Lol.
Hey guys, I accidentally read this one week and found out that Sabrina went out, we see the show after you guys in the US!! I had to keep quiet when watching it with my mum!! Sanjia out soon.. surely? Wasn't it funny when the wee girl kept crying?
He was not even in the bottom 2 this week.
I can't believe it!!
Although now that he is in the top 10 maybe things will change... since now he is on the Idol tour for this season.
Oh right!! He is not a good singer like most of the others are. He is quite geeky too lol! I guess teenage girls like him!! :)
I'm secretly hoping Sanjia is kept on for several more turns just because I want to see how many shades of red Simon can turn each time a quality person is sent home and he gets another chance to torture us all.
By the way... yeah, I'm american. Yeah, there's some lousy talent here selling lots of cds. Just remember, this Isn't a scientific poll folks! Many of us couch potatoes are too lazy to pick up a phone to call in for the real talent, leaving the preteens and idol-obsessed to do the picking.
Again, its not a scientific poll or a real vote of the population. So please don't label us all as morons who can't judge talent. For a real reflection of our analysis of talent you would need to look at something more legit. Like our elections. ;)
*i love the smell of sarcasm in the morning*
Amen and right on KP
By "the wee girl" do you mean Sabrina, or did I miss something?Quote:

Retrotia, we will try not to spoil any surprises but if you saw the show with Lulu, there was a little girl with braces crying in the audience.
Just a heads up and an FYI, if I haven't already mentioned this previously, there is a very definite reason why Sanjaya is still on the show. One of them is Howard Stern, the DJ. He caught wind of this website: Vote for the Worst
So, he decided to up the ante and get his radio listeners to do the same thing. Sanjaya's votes, I believe, were in the top 4 due to this.
I can't stand listening to him but this should be interesting as it moves along.
I can hardly wait to see Sanjaya now. Lol! It figures, Howard Stern.lol!
How about Sanjaya's hair last night... and the comments made by Paula, Randy, and Simon. They are speechless!!
Can't wait to see it now Tuscany! Lol!
WoW this girl just takes my breath away. Just beautiful. This is my pick. I know it's not even close to being over, but I am just loving this girl! What a beautiful & incredible voice.
Attachment 3307
Yes, She does have a beautiful voice and big presence on stage. She is one of my favorites.
WoW and Melinda is one of my favorites as well. My goodness what talent! She already seems like a Pro!
Attachment 3308
Yes, Melinda has been my favorite since the start. Melinda, I am amazed with every week. I am in awe, every time I hear her sing.
Sorry, but its been over for weeks. Melinda Doolittle is so far ahead of in talent the drama is gone. The major difference between Melinda and all the rest is that she is a PERFORMER. The others are just singers.
Jordin is great. She's my second choice and she does keep getting closer. The talent and presence she has at 17 is amazing. In another year she would have made it, but not with a Melinda Doolittle in front of her.
Phil was the surprise this week. I think he saved himself for another week.
But if anyone but Melinda wins, it will be a crime. It will show that America doesn't know talent.
Yes, Melinda out pasts everybody and it would be a crime if she does not get the ultimate title. I would say that Jordin is right there with her. Oh, now I forget her name Takisha? Would be third.Quote:

To me and I know I'll get the heat for it but american idol is 1 or 2 steps above the gong show. Instead of a gong they have simon . Sometimes I think he gets a bad rap. I'll stick with ugly betty where the back stabbing and gossip makes me feel close to home.
LMAO at you Chippers. This week the show actuallly hurt my ears. Head cold maybe, but probably not. Gosh, those people could not sing tonight!!
It was like chewing on aluminum foil
Or
Nails scratching a chalkboard!
American what?
I absolutely LOVED Jordin tonight! Who knew she'd blow everyone away singing Country!
I also think the boys are seriously lacking talent. BRING CHRIS DAUGHTRY BACK!!
OH... and before I forget:
SANJAYA!! Why? This has got to be the worst joke ever... he must go, SOON! If he outlasts any of the other 5 left, I will go crazy!
Oh gosh I barely can watch him. I... feel... so... sorry for him. Anyway,Quote:

(sorry everyone, didn't mean to go off topic)
J_9 - I so agree. The singers last night were pretty bad, but I think Jordan and Melinda did incredible.
