blink kat fat? oh my. I do have to agree that perhaps chris AND his fans got a little too cocky about his being in the final two, and just didn’t put out enough (the fans) votes to ensure his presence there. I am a little surprised he did not make it into the inxs auditions, but maybe he IS a little to rigid in his style..meaning that until later in the competition, everything DID sound like one genre, one skill… he started showing more personality and more diversity, and i thought would continue to grow… we’ll see, i guess.

i like him… but then i always did sort of go for the “dark” type, lol

Well that’s interesting, Rodney, that Chris isn’t sure he’s feeling Fuel. He may be holding out for a more lucrative offer as a solo artist. And that’s a smart move…Fuel is not exactly selling out venues like Georgia Dome… and profits split X ways wouldn’t leave that much for Chris. He’ll do fine as a solo artist if he choses that route. Someone will definitely sign him.

in addition to diabetes, elliot has something like 90% hearing loss in one ear, which to me makes it pretty darned impressive that he sings so well.. i’m not a singer, but for the most part, i thought singers did have to rely a bit on hearing (the band, back up singers, etc) … while he’s obviously learned to compensate within himself to know his own sound, i still think it’s a huge accomplishment on his part, and admire him greatly for his perserverence

I cant get the look on Chris’ face out of my mind. Kind of like its burned into my Soul. Did you all see his Eyes! The poor fellow looked as if he would faint. I thought I had Blacked out for a second. I had to Catch My Breath! I am with Chris. I feel his fans got too comfortable and didnt vote because they were so sure he would win. Wow! how wrong they were. AI is one show you dont underestimate. No one is safe. I believe Simon said that Weeks Ago.Still I feel Chris’ staying in the same Rock zone..did him in. folks were getting tired. I for one was getting a little bored with the screaming..but I really like dude though. oh well, LIfe is NOT fair, but we already know that.

Please, will all of the Pickler fans go away. It is those fans who kept Kat instead of Chris. When you leave it up to the American Public to vote, last nights results is what you are left with. AI is not about looks, and who cares anyway in this day and age, with the right surgen anybody can look good. If you had a lot of money, you could also look like a cover girl/boy. Elliott will be just fine, money makes every cosmetic probelm go away.If you can not vote on talent alone, do not vote!! AI would be a much better show with out your stero types. Pickler was one of the least talented in the top 12 by far. Pickler should have left before Bucky, and Ace.

Finally Chris is off! He doesn’t need sympathy, he needs money. He needs to take singing lessons to learn how to be versitle and not think that everyone in this country wants to hear Acid-Rock. He needs a coach to tell him that when he tries to sing in a different way he needs to stop looking like a fish-out-of-water. He was soooooo sure he was going to win. Here’s your wake-up call Chris. Not everyone thought you were that great!

And i agree. there’s a lot of crap going down in the world… many of us come to AI and this blog because it’s a little piece of escape from the horrors and fears and worries we face every day, from gas prices, to mortgage/rent payments to jobs — or lack of jobs, to wars and wmd’s and identity theft and so much more.

this place is a little corner where we can freely debate the merits of voice, looks, popularity, conspiracy theories, etc. with the absolute knowledge that if we are WRONG, it’s not the end of the world, and if we disagree, we can agree to do just that, you know?

pj…it happens everyday gurlfrien’…and it’s not plural..it’s one sick, twisted mind. No one really knows his true identity because even when he blogged to us under his “real” identity, even that is fake. We can tell you this much though, he’s also impersonating a grown man.

To mac music, what is wrong with the voting system. It is based on the fans voting, you have dedicated voters and then you have the ones that step back and let everyone else vote because they don’t want too hear a busy signal and have to keep trying. A lot of people don’t vote because they think they have to pay for the calls, its a 866 number which is the same as a 800 #. Get with the program voters…..

I, too, am completely “bummed out” that Chris is gone from Idol. I’m done with it. Taylor Hicks is nothing more than a wedding/karaoke singer on steroids and Elliott is soooo not star material. Chris was in a different league entirely with stage presence for days and vocals to rival some of rock n’ roll’s greatest performers. Oh well, now I can do something worthy of my time on Tues. and Wed. nights.

Then I will cheer for Taylor to where the AI crown…but secretly it was reported in underground trade magazines that Katherine beats Taylor in the finals!!! She was told to act shocked last night and had to be in the final two so that Simon looked like he made sense with his comments. When in reality she had more votes than Taylor.

Exactly Deirdre. But the imposters are very obvious.

May 11, 2006 03:30 PM | Link to this

I’m aware of what’s going on and I know that is Vin’s real address. Rodney has the tech people working on the problem but our main imposter appears to be a computer expert as well, and that is making it very difficult to track and block. Just letting you know that the problem is more difficult to solve than ordinary playful kiddies. This person is seriously disturbed and very clever. I suggest we do our best to recognize and ignore the imposter.

Howdy blawgers! What a day, huh? I’m not surprised about Chris. We were overdue for the seasonal “shock”. He is good at what he does, so I think he is lucky to slip out of Idol’s clutches. They would have him singing crap like Inside Your Heaven (just WHAT does that mean anyway?) and he deserves much better.

So anyway, I’m really tired and hurting today, and it’s pouring rain out. Sounds like a good time for a nap! Maybe when I come back all the parents will be home from work and the middle schoolers will be off doing their chores :-)

May 11, 2006 03:31 PM | Link to this

maybe he will be back in school tomorrow?

Any ideas, besides Georgia on my Mind by Taylor, what our finalists might choose to sing? I’ve got NO idea what the judges will choose… not even a clue… and as for Clive, well in the past i’ve been a bit surprised at the selections, although it’s been interesting to see how well the finalists handle the songs

that’s what makes this next show so interesting.

and i have to say, i was overall pleasantly surprised at the elvis tribute show—even tho’ kat wasn’t at her best, they all gave it a good shot — and it was one of the most fun shows yet

Mike S I know you won’t be with us next week and I’m truly sorry… between you and Rodney we’ve had some darned good insight into upcoming shows!!! hurry back!!! and please, if you can, give us your wisdom in the evenings … we’ll miss you!

AlfaninATL…….Ridiculous! Kat turned pale last night…you can’t fake that! For heavens sake why can’t everybody just accept the fact that Chris lost and AI is NOT controlling who gets the most votes. THEY DON’T CARE WHO WINS. They have all 10 of the finalists under contract for at least a year. They don’t promote the winner any more than they do all the other contestants. All they do is put out a CD…..then 3 months later they can put out a CD for ANY of the other finalists!

It is really sad that all of our favorites don’t get to stay on American Idol. When someone is gone, due to a majority vote, please don’t be rude and say ugly things about those remaining contestants. Chris was O.K., and will be just fine, but he was not the favorite of everyone. Just vote for the person in the final three you now wish to win. AI should be fun entertainment for all, not a select few. Good luck to all that have left, and the three remaining in season four. You must vote to keep your choice in the competition.

ZANGIE..gurl, Jeff wuz banned by the blawg admin yesterday cuz Jim J wuz impersonating Jeff and made offensive remarks bout alternative lifesytles. Since Jim J is clever enough to hack Jeff’s identity, Jeff is unable to get back in here. But we’re workin on solving that problem with Rodney..don’t worry. Jeff is innocent no matter what anyone say. We’ll get him back in here one way or anothah.

Of all the idol’s Chris was the best i’ve seen, last night I realized that the show is rigged, for one Ryan screwed up the number for his vote not once but twice, not that it will matter but that show lost a long time viewer. Hopefully fuel gains themselves an awesome lead singer!

whoa….thats weird. I know he said something on here yesterday about being banned but I thought it was a joke or a misunderstanding. Didn’t know someone could actually do that. I mean I know these dummies can impersonate others, but isnt his ip address pretty difficult to steal? Ya never know these days!

I didn’t watch the show but by the sounds of it this Idol will go down as the most controversial. My picks for the final are all gone - Mandisa and Chris. My money is on Taylor because all the fans who are p** off will vote for him just to get even.

As far as I’m concerned, this season of AI is over. The remaining 3 contestants will never produce music I am interested in hearing, so I am done with the show. Can’t wait to buy Chris’s first album and see his first video whoever it may be with! Rock on Chris!!

The competition was fierce. I enjoyed all the episodes. I was surprised that Chris got the boot. I guess his fans really didnt feel the need to vote as much since they thought he was a shoe in but oh well. Its done with now. I am really curious as to whats so amazing about Taylor? He reminds me of John Lovitz and Bill Clinton put together. Hes bumbling and ridiculous. I cant believe he made it this far. Good for Elliot though. He has done really well. Hes who I hope wins.

ZANGIE..Ima home gurl! Let me explain to you and anyone else about IP’s and Jeff being banned doesn’t mean a thang! See yesterday, ol Cliff pretty much parrotted what I told Jim J in a private email when I wuz tryin to bust him for callin me those names. Don’t know Jim J’s real expertise in IT knowledge because he’s such a liar, but he did email me privately that he was in IT security in the military for 15 years…probably just more fiction, but whatever. Here is how IP’s work. Yes, they are very much like your home phone, its a number assigned to your PC using online accesso. So if you’re sending emails from one provider location to another..ie. Bellsouth, Charter, etc., your IP address is also recorded..which is one way forensics are used to track criminals using the internet. BUT when you use a public provider like YAHOO, which most of us do, the IP’s are revolving meaning than anyone person at any given time is using the same IP address. It can’t be used by two different people at the same time, but it can be used by different people at different times. That is why it’s so difficult, if not impossible, to trace an IP through a public fourm using public providers. So what has happened with Jeff is..I believe the AJC Administrator simply banned his EMAIL address from posting…not his IP address…two completely different things. And since Jim J is blogging using Jeff’s email, used YoD’s yesterday and mine today, any of us could be banned just based on a posted email. Jeff is innocent you guys. Unless Jeff and Jim J are the same MPD, Jeff is innocent and I’ll wager any amount on that. I work in IT, my husband is an IT GURU..a GOD if you will, but if there are any tekkies who know more than I do about IP’s and tracing ability or if I am incorrect in my understanding of how it works, please blawg your knowledge. Share it..we all, including RODNEY, are way over the hocus pocus child play in here.

Close your eyes and listen, Kat has the best vocal chops, range, tone, everything. Turn off the sound and watch, her eyes smolder, then twinkle…she’s beautiful! She’s the next idol!! I like the old-time rock and soul,so I’ll listen to whatever Taylor does next, and I like the hardcore stuff, which Chris will do. Elliott is a likeable dude, but I just ain’t impressed by lounge singers.

I think the offer for the lead in their band (FUEL) for Chris is just the very beggining for him, he will for sure go on to bigger and better things then AI could ever do for him. That is just a great example of not always is it good to win the AI comp. Many of the top idols go on to do bigger and better things. I can not wait to see what Paris is now up to??

Oh guys…just one more thing…the email that pops up if you click ovwer the address does not mean it a real address. Jim J likes to use Bellsouth, AOL and any other “real” provider to try and cover his tracks. Go ahead and try to send an email to HIS bogus accounts and it will come back to ya..unless he uses a real person’s email address like he does with Jeff, YoDaddy and like he did with me today, it will send. That’s his modus operandi. Game is over Jimmy Boi!

Quick run by blogging here. Couple of tidbits floating around, including one MAJOR ONE.

Song rumor — PRobably just someones wishful thinking but i have seen it a couple places. SUPPOSEDLY these are taylor’s songs for next week - Judge choice - DESPERADO, Clive Davis choice - WALKING IN MEMPHIS, Taylor Choice - GEORGIA ON MY MIND.

Again, sounds more like a wish list, but I just report you decide.

And speaking of FOX NEWS — now the BIGGY — POSSIBLE HUGE CONTROVERSY BREWING — RODNEY HEADS UP, YOU MAY WANT TO FOLLOW THIS

Fox News had this on earlier (Shep Smith) and it is also mentioned in the Fox news story on Chris departure —-

People from North Carolina are flooding Fox with messages saying that when they called Chris’ number (second one I believe) they got KATHERINE’s recording thanking them for thier vote!

Have only seen this mentioned in the Fox story so far, but it bears watching.

Vin, Sorry, I don’t wait until 10pm to do family time with my 5 and 7 year olds. About your response posted: May 11, 2006 02:34 PM | Its amazing how people are so tunnel-visioned to think that their way of thinking has to be right. Just because you listen to certain music and that’s what Chris represented does not mean that this is “main-stream”. Main stream is people who are flexable and can listen to anything. Where do you get off saying that only “40s” people listen to something other than Chris. I guess that’s why you aren’t in the music business. As Simon said to Ryan last season: “I guess that’s why some of us are millionaires and some you you are thousandaires. Flexibility makes business (Management 101). If you can’t be flexable, you aren’t long for business.

I am very pleased for Chris and surprized that he only has to wait 90 days. I hope he takes Fuel up on the offer. He will do best with a band. Perhaps this was the best thing that could have happened to him. I can’t see him enjoying the restrictions that AI puts on their winners. I understand that Ruben and Kelly both bought their way out of their contracts. Can’t say it helped Ruben much but no one can deny that Kelly has hit superstardom. I didn’t watch any of season one but I bought some of Kelly’s stuff because she is awesome. I think Bo would fair better outside of AI’s restrictive world. Most of us would have preferred a harder edge rock CD from him than the fluff on his first CD.
