PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Randy, started rough, not his best performance but good. Paula, when he sang 'Bread', that was his niche, stick to that. Simon, was a terrible performance, a great song but not for him, not the right choice for him, although he has a nice voice

Randy, felt like he was in high school, it was terrible, was an act, no originality. Paula, the kitty pound loves you, disagrees with Randy, was who he was. Simon, agrees with Randy to a point, was a little bit of a joke but the audience might like you, next week perhaps do Harry Connick.1-866-IDOLS-02

Randy, likes him because he's honestly talented, that was 'da bomb'. Paula, he makes her beam, he's so poised and sure of himself, a sheer joy. Simon, likes him, but that won't patronize him. bordering on excuitiating.Again, he's a cutie, jailbait (major jailbait), but a cutie.

I like him, and liked the performance, but I think it was a bad song choice for tonight. Some of the guys are trying to show a "fun" side tonight, but it's more important that they choose a good, strong song that will stand out. They'll have time in the weeks to come (if they make it)to play around with different styles and song choice. Right now, IMHO, they need to stick with the style that shows their best.

I'm predicting Simon will liken this to a karoake performance.Randy, it's like watching someone from another era, Wayne or Barry in Vegas, good entertainer but vocally, not so much. Paula, enjoys his entertainment value, risky but loves his commitment and passion. Simon, likes him, but that was a nightmare, Barry is screaming in a hotel room somewhere.

Ryan actually made a good point that Simon should give constructive criticism instead of just saying it was like a horror film. Give him something he can work on to improve instead of just saying it was bad. That out, I was not so impressed.

I agree...absolutely, and my 13 year old daughter said 'ewww' through the whole thing. The song is pretty much about an older guy and a younger....guy. Remember all the bad press on George Michael? anyway, even if it were about an older guy and a younger girl, why would she want to sleep with a 'father figure'. It ruined his performance for me and I didn't find him as charismatic as I thought I would. a little disappointing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by it (and not in a good way). Here's how I see it...Imagine "the Gloved One" up there singing the same exact song. How long did it take you to think "ick!"??? It's the same song! Having Pretty Boy sing it instead of the Gloved One doesn't make it any less creepy! Let's not lose our judgment when we see a pretty face and mesmerizing eyes, folks!

If you've got something against "thinking" about what you're singing about - then don't. Other people may appreciate the 411, however. Especially if those other people have children who may actually be listening to the lyrics of the songs.

Let's talk. Here are the lyrics to the song "Father Figure"Father Figure
That's all I wanted, something special,
Something sacred in your eyes,
For just one moment, to be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never understand me
Maybe this time is forever, say it can be That's all you wanted, something special,
Someone sacred in your life
Just for one moment, to be warm and naked
At my side Sometimes I think that you'll never understand me
But something tells me together, we'd be happy I will be your father figure (Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine (I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher (Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind (It would make me)
I will be your father figure (Very happy)
I have had enough of crime (Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
till the end of time That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime
That's all I wanted just to see my baby's blue EYES shine
This time I think that my lover understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be strong I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
till the end of time If you are the desert, I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger - hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling, don't think of me Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie, no...
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always telling me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
So I am gonna love you
till the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I'll be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you
till the end of time Can you point to the part where YOU think George is referring to having sex with an underage boy? I have followed George and his singing career very closely and he likes to use metaphors in many of his songs. The whole "put your tiny hand in mine" to me represents that he is in love with someone that isn't experienced in love but he will be "a father figure" to them and sort of lead them through it all with his guidance. To me, the whole song is about someone that has fallen in love and found his special someone but that someone doesn't have the experience to know what to expect from it and he will help them through it. I think the perverted part is in others minds and not in the song.

127. "RE: You wanna talk lyrics?" |
Some of the extremely questionable lyrics in this song..."But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime" What kind of love can be mistaken for a crime? Why include those lyrics at all? What kind of "normal" relationship would in any way be mistaken for a crime? Explain especially this line to me, please. "Put your tiny hand in mine..." "Greet me with the eyes of a child..." These things make the target of the song sound VERY young. Don't you agree? Does this sound like a relationship you'd want to promote for your daughter? If it is, that's your choice. But some of us, seeing's how this is supposed to be a "family" show, may differ in what we think is appropriate for a "family" show.

128. "RE: You wanna talk lyrics?" |
Did you read what I wrote after the lyrics to the song? "But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime" The love they feel for each other feels so good that it can't be right and feels wrong. Have you never heard anyone refer to feelings as "being too good to be true"? I see this the same way. What kind of "normal" relationship would in any way be mistaken for a crime? You define "normal"...please. "Put your tiny hand in mine..." "Greet me with the eyes of a child..." I see this as being between someone that has experienced love and someone that hasn't. "Greet me with the eyes of a child" means to me to be the person that isn't that experienced with a relationship. Notice the use of the words "eyes of" and that is why I believe he is using a metaphor to show the inexperience of the person he is talking about. These things make the target of the song sound VERY young. Don't you agree? NOT AT ALL! This song is over 20 years old and I have never heard anyone take it as such. As I have said, I see this song being about an experienced person in a relatioship with someone that doesn't have that much knowledge of what a serious relationship is all about. I see it as having NOTHING to do with age. Does this sound like a relationship you'd want to promote for your daughter? Absolutely, I would want everyone to experience the feeling of being in love. But some of us, seeing's how this is supposed to be a "family" show, may differ in what we think is appropriate for a "family" show.
Again, I ask...what lyrics makes you think that it is referring to George having sex with an underage boy? That was mentioned up above and I have yet to see the point. As I mentioned above...George Micheal loves to use metaphors in his songs. Metaphor: (from dictionary.com)A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another. An example from another George Micheal song (I Want Your Sex): I swear I won't tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bible
Just look in my eyes Do you think he is referring to the Bible? I don't...I think he is explaining that when it comes to this person he doesn't need anyone/anything to tell how to act...he knows. It is used as a metaphor. Is your attack of this song because of George Michael's sexual orientation?

George can have whatever sexual orientation he wants. My "attack" as you call it, of this song, is because I believe the lyrics are questionable. Last I heard, I was entitled to my opinion. If you like the song, by all means, sing away! Others can certainly differ.

LAST EDITED ON 02-25-06 AT 06:20 PM (EST)My "attack" as you call it, of this song, is because I believe the lyrics are questionable. Last I heard, I was entitled to my opinion. I never referenced you not having an opinion. You are certainly entitled to one. However, I do find it strange that you chose this song to be upset about. As I have mentioned, I think most of the things you think are questionable are nothing more than metaphors. But, you can read anything into the lyrics you want...have at it! ETA: How do you explain the words of the song "Save a horse, rida cowboy" to your daughter?

LAST EDITED ON 02-25-06 AT 09:33 PM (EST)Would you have liked it as well if little Kevin had sung the song? I could care less who sings the song...I don't see the song as badly as you evidently. I don't see anything wrong with the song and/or it's lyrics for anyone to sing. It doesn't bother me at all. Discussion is good - but I'm feeling some hostility coming at me here. I'd rather not have a perfect stranger hating me; I'll just be quiet about the topic from here out. Have a good one! I don't hate you by any stretch of the imagination...You have a good one too.

129. "Please explain to me" |
How in the heck you came up with the song "Father Figure" being about an older guy and a younger...guy.Remember all the bad press on George Michael? What? He got caught in a men's bathroom having oral sex with other MEN? This has nothing to do with what you are insinuating! Anyways, what lines from the song point to a younger guy having sex with an older man? anyway, even if it were about an older guy and a younger girl, why would she want to sleep with a 'father figure'. Does Hugh Hefner not come to mind? Have you ever heard of a "sugar daddy"?

Sorry, had to rewind that a few times. Tingly.Randy, he worked the camera, worked the room, the others were faking, and he can sing! Paula, he's a star, great eyes, hello. Simon, not the best vocals however he has the 'x' factor, that extra special something, brilliant song choice. 1-866-IDOLS-11.

Agreed. there were a couple of gals that just flat-out sucked, but only Bobby really stood out as terrible for the guys, and David was pretty bad. There were, of course, the stand out good guys, but the middle ranks were all good...better than the middle ranks of the gals.Top 5 guys - Chris, Ace, Taylor, Elliot, Bucky
Top 5 gals - Paris, Mandisa, Lisa, Katherine, Melissa Bottom 4 - Heather, Stevie, Bobby, David

Randy, original with a capital 'o', not sure if right song choice for his voice, loved his performance. Paula, exudes passion, amazing, saved the best for last. Randy adds never been anyone like him in 6 years. Simon, initially said didn't think he should make the finals, he was wrong, likes that he's in to the singing.Sorry, I can't get over his grey hair. Perhaps a makeover? 1-866-IDOLS-12.

I loved this guy the minute I saw his audition. He is definately one of my faves because he is brings something different to the table and the way he gets into his music reminds me of the days before the glitz and glam, when people just loved the music and sang it from the heart. Now it seems as though singers every move on stage is choreographed which imo takes away from what's in the singer. I say no to the makeover his gray hair doesn't bother me. Love, Love, Love this guy. Talented and likability factor is so high for me.

83. "RE: OMG" |
Sorry, Ace was too, "I'm sexy, you know you want me" for me. Ugh! I'm sure he'll get a record deal whether he wins or not, but I couldn't stand him tonight.The whole "X-factor" discussion left me ranting at my TV (and my ILs were in the room at the time!). To me, X-factor is something "indefinable". You call it the "X-factor", because you don't know what else to call it, but you know it's there. Ace had no X-factor. He had in-your-face, ain't-I-sexy. That's fine. A lot of girls and boys are all melty about him. BUT, it isn't "indefinable," and personally, I didn't buy into it at all.

Yeah, I dug him, too, but I took issue with "best male vocalist in 5 years." I think Simon will retract tonight, but even still, it almost seemed mocking, and made me acknowledge that Eliott wasn't that great. I wish he hadn't said it, but had just said, "Good job," instead.
