American Idol: Booty-(not-so)-licious

I guess I have a problem with Kelly's supposed innocence being a big fat act. I fell for it at first too. She claimed she hadnt gotten further than her own back yard singing and new nothing of singing in public and was the underdog of the entire lot of them as far as her story went. Then I see ads of her on a n. carolina version of AI.. competition for Miss N. Carolina contest where she sang as her talent and almost one the thing and other similar types of things been brought up in local papers. She did a radio show and she even allegedly told a waiter in holiwood "look you should feel LUCKY waiting on me!" was she joking.. I would hope so .. but who knows! I was all for her but this news after EYE witnessing the news clips and ads, changed my opinion of her from cute and innoecent (loretta lynn all over again) to a good scammer knowing how to do the "blond dumb act/manipulation" which gives other blondes a bad name.
I would like to see her go because she is dishonest to a fault (not that this is unamerican by a long shot haha) still it would have been great if she had not gone the opposite direction of the truth hiding that mall shopping, highschool, rollerskating at sonic, dating boys and their best friends at the same time... just the normal, popular fun life of a girl who's father happened to be in jail. I don't think that factored a whole lot in her heart. From what is read, her "father figure" IS her grandfather as she refers to on stage repeatedly. I am being harsh I guess. Maybe playing devil's advocate. As far as I'm concerned personally her version of FAncy tore up the state. excellent. Everything else she's sung so far in my opinion "just ok' I think Taylor has caused a 180 with me. Dork from the get go but has become quite the singer and his personality is so genuine to me I have little doubt these types of stories will be dug up about him. Could be wrong but I'm voting Taylor Chris or Elliot. All great voices with different styles. Paris, Katherine are both excellent just not my own preference.

You bastard!
just because mandiva is big around the waist doesnt mean she's not a person! we all come in shapes and sizes but were still people! I thought elliot should of gone home but thats my opinion. Mandisa and paris are 10 times better than elliot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WANT TO SEE DOLLY PARTON!!---"THEE ANGELIC VOICE"

Too bad for Mandisa, I was looking forward to hearing her sing Queen's "Fat-Bottomed Girls." It will be a real test of the rest to see how they compare to Freddy Mercury; they can't top him, certainly, but the style will be so demanding that the weaker ones will really sound bad. How about Bucky singing "Under Pressure"?

The winners of these competitions always have at least one outstanding memorable performance. Mandisa didn't have one. Nor has anybody else but Chris, Taylor and Ace (yes, Ace did with his 'Father Figure' that a lot people still talk about.) I think it if weren't for that song, he would have been long gone by now.

Personally, I'm waiting for Katharine to sing a 'show stopper' because I think she's got the talent for it and she certainly has great eye appeal to command an audience. If she doesn't, than Chris or Taylor will be this year's winner.

I don't see Paris, Kellie, Elliot or Bucky doing any better than what they've given us so far.

Hey Kay, you're giving misleading info regarding voting. To make a difference you have to make that phone call to vote....again..& again & again & again and..... Do you get the point?? Got to make those AI audience numbers look good. That's what counts!
It's a dialing contest!!

wow, this show sures brings out the feelings doesnt it?
guess thats why its ratings are soooo high.
JUST WANT EVERYONE TO REMIND THEMSELVES HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE OUR OPINIONS.
BELIEVE IN WHOEVER YOU WANT.
BUT JUST CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN AMERICA.

I want to reiterate my point that American music is as much about looks as singing voice. Here's the thing can anyone say that Britney has the top singing voice today? No way! Look at Madonna- see can barely sing and was all hype. All you have to be is good, and then the song writers line up to write for you and you get the best production and whammo! Here's two more examples: top selling Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff. Pulleeeze...

I actually think that Lisa Taylor or Paris might have HUGE careers. Disney grabs one of them and puts them on a TV show for tweens, has them singing at the Parks, then an album and bang! Pop Star.

These contestants have to appeal to everyone to win. They have to be able to sing and perform. I think Rueben won because he was "likable". Unfortunantly "likable" doesn't sell records. Fantasia was a "performer" and she had the ability to get everyone hyped regardless of who they were. She didn't cross over so alot of people think she's doing bad when in fact she's doing quite well. The same people that hate on her will pass their dislike onto Paris so she'd better hurry up and find her niche now so no comparisons will be made. Kelly Clarkson has the cross over appeal so she's hot. Go Kelly11 :lol: Cari, who??? I know she's selling records but like I said....Cari, who???? Anyway, If I had to pick the winner I'd have to say Chris. The best singers I'd have to say Paris and Elliot. As for Mandissa, once you come across as too "religious" you turn alot of people off. I don't think her size was a factor, just something for people to talk about. Thanks for reading this...it is JMHO.

Thanks Jeff. I don't think that acticle is very concrete in proving that Mandisa is a hateful bigot, but it certainly made me aware that there is a woman named Beth Moore, who is crazier than bat sh!t.

I guess I just assumed Mandisa was trying to become a gay icon like Chaka Khan. "I Am Every Woman" was probably my favorite Mandisa performance.

And she's 29!! I guess I really wasn't paying attention to her at all!
