    So, so, so unfair…only the Top 5 performing with celebrities? What about MJ and Carly? They should be allowed to perform a duet together, that’s all I’m asking, one together, they deserve it!!!

    Did you see that Brooke White has already released her first album? Amazon states that sales are quite brisk. Give her a listen over here:

    Donna Summer?! Ack *gets hubby’s tie to pretend-hang self*
    Well, maybe she’ll spice up primetime by singing “I love to love you, baby”. hahahahahaha

  5. [quote comment="35177"]WHAT? NO GUYS GROUP NUMBER? NO GIRLS GROUP NUMBER?

    Those were the best during the last two finales.[/quote]

    I hope they do! I always like those as well. I have some on a CD that I listen to often. Is that sad?

    [quote comment="35159"]Well if Simon predicts Cook for the win, at all the shows, then I can only say, the show is FIXED. They did not sing yet and needless to say, no votes yet. If Cook wins, they we get another LOUD SCREAMING PERFORMER (with one track musical talent LOUD ROCK). YUK. He and Fantasia should do a duet. The loud noises, with the big mouths and almost same hair dos. YUK. A loud bartender with bad hair dos. don’t we have enough FREAKS already?[/quote]
    If you can’t be nice, you will be banned. This kind of comment is not nice at all. This is your only warning, Sandy. As a woman in her 30s, I’m surprised you haven’t learned to speak nicely about everyone, even those you don’t care for.

    I will be voting for David Archuleta. At 17, he is not only the Voice to beat, but what a great role model for all of us. Anybody can scream and be loud. The singers that have lasted for many years, are the best vocalists. I don’t think Carrie Underwood won because of her LOUDNESS. Americans still love the big voices, with beautiful clean cut faces. VOTE VOTE VOTE Archuleta our new American Idol. WHAT A GREAT ROLE MODEL. (and no I am not a teen but a woman in my 30′s)[/quote]

    Wow – opinion noted. Switch to decaf before you watch the finale, k there, sweetheart?

    I’m already feeling bloated and overstuffed, like after a bad Thanksgiving at Aunt Maryanne’s house. :sick: :cwy:[/quote]
    Yikes! As for the group song with Paula: I hope the Davids have time to actually learn and rehearse their other 3 songs.

    So do the top 5 get to pick who they sing with?

    [quote comment="35034"][quote comment="35010"]Top 5 duets…this could go either way. Could be really entertaining or could be a trainwreck. Is Jason doing a duet with Bob Marley?[/quote]
    He’ll be THINKING it’s Bob Marley!![/quote]

    What would be interesting is if they could do one of those same type videos like Celine Dion/Elvis Presley or Nat King/Natalie Cole.

  21. Most of us will be fast forwarding through the Jonas Brothers. They’re the most recent “Bubble Gum Boy Band” to come down the pike. All we need now is for Raven Simone to come off the Disney Channel and do something from her latest album.

    Ooops…I didn’t realize that those were for both shows….Tuesay and Wednesday…makes sense now…sorry…. :sideways:

  23. [quote comment="35009"][quote comment="35007"]So, my question is how do they fit all of this into an hour? I thought for sure it would be longer than an hour, but when I went to the online tv listings, it only give it one hour….[/quote]

    My understanding is that Tuesday will be 1 hour while Wednesday will be 2 hours. Will try and get some confirmation to this[/quote]

    I would expect that Tuesday night will focus on the competition. We may see the Paula pimping tune then. All of the other stuff will happen on Wednesday as a part of the final extravaganza!

  24. Is this new Paula tune off the same album that she and Randy were pimping earlier in the season? I’m still not interested.

    [quote comment="34957"]Boo to the Paula thing. Not interested.

    Yay for the SYTYCD dancers!! That was probably my favorite part of the Idol Gives Back show.

    Yay for duets! Let’s just hope we don’t get another Meat Loaf debacle.

    Yay for the 2 previous idols from each of the past seasons!

    The Jonas Brothers? Why oh why?? They have saturated the airwaves along with Miley Cyrus for the past few months. Man, I am old.[/quote]

    Gotta disagree on Paula – I always liked her. I just feel bad that she can’t dance the way she used to. Back problems are tough.

    SYTYCD dancers – agree about IGB – I sat there watching & kept saying to myself “Hey – that’s so-and-so. There’s another one. And another one!” until light finally dawned on Marble-head. :blink:

    Meatloaf – oh, that brought back scary memories. Why oh why did the lovely Katharine choose to sing with him??????????????

    Can’t get enough former Idols – that should be so much more of the show. Random thought – maybe THEY should be mentors – who know more about Idol than they do?

    I wish I knew who the Jonas Brothers are – I am so much older…… :cwy:

  28. So does that mean each of the top 5 do a solo song, like by themselves with another person? YES!!!! I think that has happened in season 5 I remember Paris singing alone and Elliot and such.

  29. [quote comment="34973"]Finally (and then I will shut up), what is up with all the pimping of Paula this season? It’s not like she’s a good singer. Does anyone remember “Cold Hearted Snake?” And how about “Forever Your Girl?”[/quote]

    Ok, I have to admit I liked Paula back in the day. BUT, in my defense, I was a teenager! :whistle:

  30. [quote comment="34968"]Wait Slim you left out that there will be 40 minutes of commercials.

    LOL. So true!!

    Paula was NEVER a good singer !

  34. PS I don’t like the Jonas Brothers either! They have such little squinty eyes. Manufactured just for the teens by the Network. Wonder who they are related to.
