Idol fans weigh in


I'm a big fan of the show and this season has been amazing.The collective talent this year far exceeds any other season IMHO. Jessica...phenomonal at any age and she's SIXTEEN!Other favorites: Elise, Skylar.Joshua is amazing as well, although I'm turned off when he screams the songs which he does too often. He was amazing last night.Phillip is not my cup of tea,although his ballad last night gave me 'goozies' and for once his face was not contorted which I find to be a big distraction.Holly will probably leave tonight but good lord she's 15!

I always watch with my family. Good clean entertainment.

Good talent this year. Joshua is very good but Hollie may be the only one
that fits the pop music mold these days.

I think the judges and format the lasf two years is geared towards
providing more consistent and constructive feedback to the singers. Less
interesting perhaps but probably more effective. There could be more
constructive criticism on many performances than there is. There has
also been many very good performances. Song choices could be much
better and less bland. Elise nailed the Zeppelin tune earlier this year! .

I fear philip will win this year due to viewer demographics. That would be
a shame. Bland!
Yes, jessica is exceptional and has lots of potential.

My song pick for Elise would have been "Queen of the Highway" by The
Doors. She'd be sniffing the title still with some more song choices like
that. Follow that up with "Roadhouse Blues".

Still time for Jessica to pull that one out of her hat....
I bet my wife $50 that joshua would go, not philip.

She loves philip but knew joshua was the real tning.

Its now a demographic rerun of the year taylor hicks won.
"I thought this was a hard core Hifi Club!"

I get tired of talking about fuses and such sometimes.

I'm a big Julianna Hough fan actually. I keep hoping she'll make another cameo appearance!

Plus, hey it is live music of a sort that many watch, listen to and talk about.

Unlike most anything else audio related.

At least most of the world probably knows what a fuse is! They may even think they know what its purpose is. To tune the sound, of course! :-)
Philips gig with John Fogerty yesterday evening softened my position regarding him.

I'm willing to give him a chance and see where he goes.

At least he seems to have some unique artistic driving force and styling compared to the mainstream these days.

He's kinda the anti-Adam Lambert who is another former idol finalist that tends to march somewhat to his own drum and has talent.

My wife loves them both. My daughter likes Philip as well. She says "he has a sparkle in his eyes".
