Awww that’s to bad you are not invested in anybody. Maybe you will you never know. It’s still early. :)[/quote]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Danny Gokey a LOT. And it’s not that I won’t be invested in the show, because goodness knows I WILL be. I don’t really know how to explain it, but this might end up being one of my favorite seasons for the ‘laid back’ factor for ME.

I think he is by far the most entertaining of the whole 36. He has a hell of a voice too. :biggrin: Even if he doesn’t make it, he’ll be on Broadway next year.

Regardless of whether he makes it through or not , we have not heard the last of him. Wait and see. :silly:

I wonder if it would’ve been better for Nick to do a relatively normal song – just to show everyone that he really does have talent — If you ignore the comedy routine, I could see that he’s got a great voice and would clearly have been the best male vocalist behind Adam Lambert – but all anyone will remember was the craziness. Everyone knows about “Norman Gentle” – so in a way, his performace was too safe – he didn’t take any risks (for him).

But the thing I love about him is that he makes a mockery of what AI and much of pop music today has become — seems like EVERYBODY feels they need to put all these loop-de-loops and vocal gyrations into every note – and they rush through the slow-soft-subtle sections so they can get to those loud Golden Notes that will get all the judges drooling. And Simon takes himself way too seriously — wouldn’t it be great to see Simon have to deal with him every week?

These performers are focusing too much on “impressing” me with their “superior talent”, and in some cases, they have indeed been impressive. But I’m looking for the ones who will “connect” — make me cry, make me smile, inspire me, move me, or make me laugh — that’s what music is supposed to be about. Nick did not impress me as much as a few others did (Adam Lambert was dynamite) – but he did make me laugh – I was loving every minute of it.

Yes, Nick is funny and deserves something out of being on American Idol, but he doesn’t need to be on the Top 12. I have to agree with Angie. I don’t think it would be fair if he made it through while some one else who gave it their all doesn’t make it. There is a lot of good talent out there and for those to be missed just because Nick who in my book cannot sing makes it through is wrong. I think his time has come and needs to go back home. He is quite annoying.
