  • not the greatest singers in the world...by far.

    "Good"
    By Jedi_Luc, Mar 09, 2006
    Two words: Chicken Little. I am sorry but he needs to go. How could anyone consider him American Idol material of any sort?

    I am just not knocked out by any of these guys. I liked Taylor's performance the most. Because he never shows up nervous and sings from his heart. He is having fun and shows it.

    It is extremely annoying to sit through performance after performance and not see the emotion or heart. Many times it's song selection and these guys just don't put it into the song. They can't even fake a good time.moreless

  • Last night\'s Idol was brutal.

    "Terrible"
    By huskard, Mar 09, 2006
    Somebody can tell these wanna be Idols that the love ballads are getting old and unoriginal. I imagine anybody who thinks these guys are good probably are people who listen to Top 40 radio and think that the Simpson girls sing incredible. The only singer who is even decent is Chris and even he was a disappointment singing Broken. Ace trying to sing M Jackson was absolutely God awful.

    Wow the guys are so Good, HArd for me to pick who will go I am not a Gedion fan buthe is still great, as much as I find Will and Kevin Adorable, THey should go everyone else is Amazing, Chris is Best, Taylor a close second, and I love Bucky and Ace.. once again to bad we can't have more guys than girls in the top 12

  • Ace hit a high note, Taylor kept us soaring, The boys are proving Randy right.

    "Superb"

    Wow. Those boys are talented. For a while, I wondered if Randy Jackson was seeing a different version of the boys/girls showdown. He said all along that the boys had the talent this season. I saw an awful lot of talent in the girls (still do) but last night was fun. A few of the guys can go home and my feelings won't be hurt. Cuteness shouldn't count for too much in a talent competition, right? Will and Kevin are adorable in their ways, but I could probably see a version of them at my kids' school talent show.

    Ace is hot. That song could have been sorry, but he made it hot.
    And I just love Taylor. Sorry, I do. He gets all filled with song-glee and I just like him. None of these guys failed. I managed to vote for six of the eight. My top two were Ace and Taylor.moreless

    • Simon (To Taylor, after Taylor danced): Taylor, you could single-handedly kill the music-video industry. That was definitely a radio performance.

    • Simon (To Paula Abdul, when she praised Will's performance): Paula, all I can say is that you must have been starved of entertainment as a child.

    • Simon (To Kevin): Look, in the same way that you like watching puppies play, people will enjoy it. I think you've got the granny vote again tonight with that song.

    • (commenting Will Makar) Simon: 11 year-old girls are attracted to you. Will: (in Japanese) 11 year-old girls unite!

    ADD NOTES

    • Just like with the women, the men's video clips were about things America didn't know about them.

      Chris: Used to have his hair in the same as Ryan
      Kevin: Is a big fan of Kanye West

      Taylor: Used to have a job wearing a bunny costume
      Elliott: Has 90% hearing loss in his right ear
      Ace: Is very good at construction work

    • We learned that Will is taking lessons to learn how to speak Japanese.

    • We leared that Bucky has a twin brother named Rocky.

    • We learn that Kevin likes Kanye West's music.

    • We learned that Gedeon likes to paint when he is not singing.
