American Idol: The Final 12

by Lacy Hall, posted Mar 10th 2006 1:34AM

american idolI timed it -- it lasted 6.3 seconds. That's how long Ace Young and Will Makar hugged when Will got eliminated. And...I saw some eye closing on Ace's part. Now, I'm not implying anything by The 6.3 Second Hug (that's what I've dubbed it), I just mention it because some of you have brought Ace's sexuality into question. Now, an extended hug (with eye closing) does not imply homosexuality, but it does give us more material to gossip with. Personally, I don't care whether he's straight or gay in the real world... because in my fantasies, he's a straight man who loves to give lady bloggers intimate backrubs by candlelight. Ahhhhhh.

But you're right, Bob, I thought Bo sounded like crap too. His throat was all scratchy like he needed some herbal tea or something. Or...maybe a closed eye hug from Ace. Who knows?

Kinnik and Will were no surprise, but I was absolutely shocked by Ayla and Gedeon going home. I don't care about either one of them, but how did Kevin make it to the big stage and not them? It's an American tragedy. I'm somewhat speechless...psych! I'm still thinking about that backrub from Ace.

But, I'm (moderately) happy with the Final 12. What about you?

I truely think that Ace is the shiznit......of course Chris would be a close second. These two have more talent than anyone in the history of American Idol.....

I THINK WE NEED A JUNIOR/TEEN IDOL COMPETITION, THIS WAY PEOPLE LIKE KEVIN WOULD HAVE A BETTER SHOT, BECAUSE THE KID CAN SING, BUT HE'LL NEVER MAKE IT AGAINST AWESOME ADULT SINGERS. FOLKS, TAKE IT FROM ME THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL ISSSSSSSS TAYLOR!!!! HANDS DOWN....MICHEAL MCDONALD ALL THE WAY! TAYLOR, IS A FLAT OUT WINNER!!!!

What is everyone talking about? I was blown away by Bo's performance. He was AWESOME! I just love his voice! I think he did a wonderful job and even taped his performance!

I adore Kevin, he's such a sweet kid with a lot of talent and courage. He is really an American Idol. Everyone should stop judging him by the fact that he isn't the "coolest" contestant and realize that he does have a good voice!

In case you have not been watching, the Producers of the show are grooming Katherine to be your next American Idol.

The rasslin on the bed with Kelly. Giddy girly girl screaming. Simon saying she was the best audition he has ever heard. (of course, his best changes from week to week anymore)

AND now we all have to have the MC-fever. I wonder if this week we will get fries and super size it.

Look for Paris and Lisa to make this another all girl finale.

Ace is going far and so is Taylor. Mix in Kellie to keep the ratings high and there you have your top 6.

If you think Rocker Chris or Big Stage Mandisa are people they want to market, wellllllllllllll, you are of course entitled to your opinion.

I can NOT even fathom why Ayla was let go and Mel stayed!
Ugh!
What the hell is wrong with the ears of the listeners?
I can most times figure what Simon will say when I listen and I am usually dead on.
I am not tone deaf by any means and I can hold a note or 4!
I think people that vote are somewhat voting by just how they feel about the people. Not how good they are.
I mean come on, yeah maybe her last song choice wasn't a good one but she blew Mel away in all the other nights.
Mel has got to go next.
As far as Ace, well I think we are all together there.
It doesn't matter anyway.
The second he sang George Michael's song, it was pretty much sealed then to follow with Michael Jackson?
UGH!
His looks will take him further.
What a waste though.
Kelly is just damned adorable and Chris...well...yum.
Married or not.
He knows his stuff and I really hope he makes it because he would deserve it and the support of his wife is phenomenol.
I adored them in the audtions with me being happily married and all.

I am SHOCKED that Gedeon and Ayla are gone. I don't think Ayla was going to go ALL the way, but I reall figured she'd make it to the final 8.

Gedeon is a peculiar person, and I, personally don't like what I've seen of his personality on the show, but the guy could SING!

I think Kevin has an absolutely beautiful voice! He won't win AI because he doesn't have the "look" but that boy can SING. Gideon stunk from the beginning and should have been off weeks ago. Same thing with Kinnik. I vote every week for Kellie Pickler but it's going to come down to the final two being Mandisa and Ace with Ace winning the competition. Not because he's better. Mandisa is by far the best (besides my favorite, Kellie) but I think AI will pick a guy this time around. I also don't believe for ONE SECOND that the voting counts. I believe at this point people have been offered contracts from all kinds of places. They are going to do better in another field or with another offer than what AI can do for them. I think the voting is just a farce but the top 12 (and some before them) are already signed by someone for acting, modeling and other singing contracts. Oh, and I don't care HOW long Ace hugs anyone male or female. That yummy boy toy can give me that famous look of his and hug me anyday. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........
