geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-09-06, 07:18 AM (EST) "Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Since this thread hasn't been started yet, I shall! Last night, i think the men totally outshined the women once again. Here is how I see it. (1) Taylor. His BEST performance so far. He picked a perfect song, he rocked out, he put his soul into it 100% and blew the other guys out of the water. I have visions of a Taylor/Mandisa final two and get shivers. (2) Chris. As usual, he can rock out, but it was a boring song/performance. I'm worried about Chris in the upcoming weeks when he gets forced into a specific non-rock genre. (3)Gedeon. The guy is good w/ old school motown. What happens when they throw country night at him? (4) Bucky. Perhaps his best so far? (5) Ace. meh. I'm not an Ace fan at all. (6) Elliot. I hated it. I'm with Simon - he seemed very uncomfortable. I couldn't understand WHY he chose that song?? He's much better than that song. (7) Kevin. Even though he surprised me by doing better than I expected on this song, his inexperience is showing through. Its time to go. (8) Will. I like his voice at times throughout all of his performances, but he doesn't seem to be able to carry it through an entire song. He's not ready.   Top

I've been waiting for that. 2. Chris - Chills. LOVE him. *swoon* 3. Bucky - I loved it. His best performance to date. And that's saying something for me because I really like him. STFU, Simon. Sheesh. 4. Gedeon - I'm lovin' him. He sounds great and I like the way he supports the other men when they're on stage. 5. Ace - a handyman? That's hot. Hated the song. 6. Will - I think he has a good voice. Song choice, young Will. Song choice. Song choice. 7. Elliot - ugh. What a horrible week to screw up. 8. Kevin - Yikes. Why oh why do they pimp this poor boy? Let.him.go.   Top

Magnolia_Rocker 2139 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 03-09-06, 08:33 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" *sniff* Why in all that is holy is AI doing the split girl/boy thing again this year. There are so many more girls that need to be voted off the AI island before any of the boys. *sniff* on to the rankings..... 1. Taylor - LOVED IT! Even his windmill arm routine was entertaining. Anything this guy does is just awesome because he sells it with his whole soul. Way to go Taylor! 2. Chris - It hurt me to put you at #2 Chris but Taylor upstaged you tonight. Still loved his performance but the song lacked without the girl back up. He nailed the male vocals. 3. Bucky - Way to get back into this competition!! Great song choice and he looked much more comfortable on stage this week. 4. Elliott - The boy still has a fantastic voice. I'm not a Bryan Adams fan but I think he did well with this song. 5. Gedeon - Yes he has a great voice and yes he sang this song well but this boy just bothers me. His smile and the way he over-emphasizes his words when he talks just makes him look fake to me. 6. Ace - HATED this song but he sang it well and I'm with Glow...carpenter = hot. Love a man that knows how to work with his hands. ;) 7. Will - you are in the Lisa boat with me. You suck at selecting songs and after this long it looks like you will continue to do so. Buh bye. 8. Kevin - Great voice on this kid but when he sings he looks scared to death, something with the raised eyebrows. It's your time to go hun.   Top

"RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" I'm just gonna agree with MR here, cuz I saw it the same way. Two comments: Perfect song for Taylor. Perfect. Chris needs to pick something more upbeat next week. He does the metal ballad well, now let's see something livelier. Sig by Arkie!! Holey carp! My blog! MySpace! Official OT Tassel Adjuster o-   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-09-06, 09:59 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" But next week will be the first 'theme' week. Who knows what he'll have to pick from. His challenges start now. geekboy   Top

nailbone 27263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-09-06, 12:40 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Agreed. That's gonna be the key for Chris especially, and Bucky, too, I think. Out of their element, how will they do? Sig by Arkie!! Holey carp! My blog! MySpace! Official OT Tassel Adjuster o-   Top

CattyChat 3379 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-09-06, 08:41 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" It saddens me that there is a big possibility that we’ll lose one of the good guys in an upset tonight. It will be a close call for a few, I think. MUST Haves in My Top 6 1. The Life & Soul -- Taylor Hicks(1, 2) -- Not a Michael McDonald fan -- NOT a “Takin’ it to the Streets fan, but I’m a HUGE Taylor fan. He draws you in with his performances. He puts everything he has out there on the stage & I can’t help getting sucked in. LOVED it. 2. The Rocker -- Chris Daughtry (1,1) -- Performance in keeping with his style. Not a song I really connected with, last week was 10 times better, but I still love the Daughtry. Would Like in My Top 6 for Variety 3. Boy Band Gone Solo aka Justin -- Ace Young (1, 5) -- Last night he had his highs & lows. Very inconsistent, some cringe moments when he sang, but when he hit the notes/pitch, he did it well. Memorable performance. As Joey once said: “When the package is THIS pretty, no one listens.” Just, please, no hip hop/rap from Ace. 4. The Ugly Duckling/Swan Voice -- Elliot Yamin(6,3) -- Last night was terrible for Elliot. He looked uncomfortable, the song did NOT fit him at all, pitchy -- YUCK. If it weren’t for his past performances and the weaker others, he’d be much lower. He has a great voice, but if anyone is a “radio performance” (ahem, Simon) it’s poor Elliot. Calling Extreme Makeover . . . 5. The Clean Cut Teen Idol -- Will Makar (3, 6) -- I actually think this kid has a really good voice & he’s very cute (another “middle-aged” fan). I just don’t understand why he has chosen the songs he has sung the past 3 weeks. There is so much potential & I’d like to see what he can do, but worried he won’t make the cut. Just Not my Thang 6. The Pimp Daddy in Training -- Gedeon McKinney (6, 4) -- He’s been inconsistent & I don’t know what it is, but I just get this insincere/sleaze vibe from him. I still can’t believe he’s a teen, because he looks 30. He can sing, he just repulses me a little. 7. Hick from the Sticks -- Bucky Covington (10, 9) -- I’m just not a fan of his style. He sounded like he probably sang his song good last night, but I’m not a fan of the country genre and he doesn’t do anything for me. I do think he’ll sail into the Top 6, as there seems to be a big Bucky fan base. Go figure. My Ears Can’t Take it Anymore 8. The Sympathetic Vote -- Kevin Covais (12, 10) -- I can’t listen to the lisp or the weak vocals anymore. Sure, I feel sorry for the kid but he shouldn’t be competing against the rest -- he’s not even close to the same caliber. I fear that he may make it into the final 6 because so many people want to help the wounded puppy. He may be the upset. **cringing** There’s hope for the kid with a few years of speech therapy & vocal training, but please let him go home tonight . . . Kind Creation of ARNutz   Top

jags 124 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-09-06, 09:53 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Here are my rankings, 1. I was excited when I saw Taylor was doing this song. But he needs medication for the twitches it has become a bit much. He was still the best last night. 2. Chris just does his thing he was number 2 easily. 3. Gideon is picking up his game, he did a great job. 4. Bucky did good job, nice song for him. 5. Elliot nice job not the best song. 6. Will should have the last spot but will not because this is a popularity contest also. 6. Ace did better than I expected but for me was not enough. Saying that he will be back next week. 8. Kevin nice kid decent voice but there is nothing that says Idol to me. And then there was Clay, HA HA HA. Same voice but Kevins actually got more going for him. Like he has testosterone flowing through his vains where Clay doesn't. Jags   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-09-06, 10:01 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Kevin is no Clay. Kevin has a looooooong way to go to reach Clay's level. geekboy   Top

CattyChat 3379 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 03-09-06, 10:09 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" I'm with you, Geekboy -- Kevin can't hold a candle to Clay. I didn't start watching AI until towards the end of Season 2, so I don't know how Clay started, but he had a great voice & much more of a presence on stage compared to Kevin.

frisky 11695 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-09-06, 09:55 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Five dead birds: 1. Taylor - Horrible song, but it sounded good on Taylor. What a great performance. I just love how he lets it all go on stage and doesn't care what he looks like. LOL Four dead birds: 2. Chris - Unlike most people here, I did like the song choice, and Chris did a good job with it. It did seem "safe" though. He needs to break out soon like Bo did with "Spinning Wheel" 3. Ace - Okay. FINALLY I get the Ace love. OMG the song was wretched. But the way Ace sang it, going high and then low and then high and then low and then up and then down and then up and down and rowr rowr ROWR! That was one of the sexiest performances a la Prince that I've ever seen on AI. I get it now, girls. Move over, Frisky is on the Ace-train. Or better yet, Frisky is on Ace. Two dead birds: 4. Elliot - He has a great voice but he has GOT to lose the Julius Caesar hairdo. It's not just that he's fug, but he has NO charisma to sell that beautiful voice. They need to soften up all those straight lines in his hair. Too many straight lines for someone with a rectangular head. 5. Bucky - Naw, he's just not doin it for me. I think he's trying to look older than he is. If you look really close, he's just a baby, and it doesn't really go with that gravelly voice. 6. Gedeon - Why does Gedeon remind me of a rooster strutting around the hen house? Droppings: 7. Kevin - Hopefully, the exploitation of Kevin will end tonight. Raise the age minimum! 8. Will - He deserves to go for picking that song. Even if he had sung it well, which he didn't, he deserves to go for picking that song. Yuck. Should go: Peter Brady and Chicken Little. Rolly made this.   Top

PhoenixMons 4696 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 03-09-06, 10:27 AM (EST) 12. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Well, the men were definitely better than the women! 1. Taylor - I was hoping and waiting for this performance...finally, here it is! It still wasn't a total knock-out, but it was much better than what he's given in previous weeks...and he dethroned Chris for one week at least. 2. Chris - Good, but not great. There was something missing...that fire. I still love the guy, but it just wasn't up to his standards. 3. Gedeon - I was one of the few people who liked him from the beginning...now everyone else can see why - he has a fantastic voice and at just 17, he's a very mature performer. He's a natural...just needs to polish everything a little. 4. Elliot - Definitely his worst performance. The song choice was all wrong. His voice should be showcased in a great R&B ballad (70s Motown would be my ideal era for him), not some 80s pop mush. The performance was not there at all even though his vocals were still pretty damn good. He needs someone to work with him on performing and really feeling the music...he tends to look lost on stage (like he doesn't feel like he belongs there). I just hope he makes it to the top 12 so he's got the chance to really show what he's capable of! 5. Bucky - Like Elliot, he looks lost on stage. The performance was hardly memorable, but I still think he's better than the other 3...he sounds pretty good, but it's hard ot watch him perform. 6. Ace - Can't stand this wannabe Justin guy. Sway had a much better voice (just didn't know how to use it) than this guy...but I guess cause people think he's pretty, he can get away with sounding like a dying cat. The song choice was terrible, he had maybe a handful of good notes in there, and he just screams FAKE to me. I hope he goes home, but I'm not counting on it. 7. Kevin - Okay, so it was better than I expected. The kid's just out of his league. And the lisp is just too annoying. 8. Will - Not good. Looked like a high school talent show act (and not even a winning high school talent show act). Remind me why he's in the top 16? Got blog?   Top

geg6 14941 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-09-06, 10:43 AM (EST) 14. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" I am in complete agreement with those bemoaning the sexes being split up this way. The talent pool among the Y chromosome crowd this year is just huge and the XX's pool is pretty shallow. Not feelin' many those girls. 1) Taylor - He blew that song away!!!!! I hate Michael McDonald and was ready to hate this. But I would actually buy that song from my man Taylor. Fantastic and an original. 2) Chris - I just can't see how this guy could ever be voted out. This guy is filled with talent. Hated the song, but he can sing anything rock and make it sound wonderful. He should have waited for the next Rock Star. Too much of the AI crowd will never get this guy. 3) Bucky - I finally am feeling our Bucky. I thought he was really good last night and it was a wonderful song for him. He rocked it out with, what I have to assume, is a country song (never heard it before, which is understandable if it's a country song). I like him suddenly. 4) Elliott - Not a good night for the guy in need of a good dentist. Horrible, horrible song. And not his best performance, either. But I still think he's got a lot to offer. 5) Ace - Man, is he gorgeous. Okay, now that I'm past that...not a perfect rendition of a not-very-good song, but he impresses me with the falsetto. And, man, is he gorgeous. 6) Gedeon - He bothers me. A lot. I guess I'll give him props for loving the old R&B tunes and putting them out there every week. But I have to say that I think he sounds completely karaoke to me and he's just too weird for me. 7) Will - Pretty damn bad. But not near as bad as... 8) Kevin - put my out of my misery and get this kid off the stage already. He sucks. And, regardless of how much he wants to be Clay, there is already one Clay. Poor Kevin is but a poor imitation. Goddess of the Steeler Nation   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 03-09-06, 11:43 AM (EST) 15. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" 1. Taylor. His manic performance is infectious and joyful. 2. Chris. I like his voice. He will be a star. 3. Ace. He delivered and I think he will show versatility as the show moves into the theme stage. He also knows how to play up his sexiness. --I can see these 3 guys above in the top 5 or 6 at the end-- 4. Bucky, Gedeon, Elliot, each for the own genre. Wonder how each will do as theme nights roll on. Bucky and Gedeon probably attract different voters. Elliot needs to find a way to stand out --he will lose voters to Chris. I just do not see any of these guys in the top 5 or 6 at the end. 7. Kevin. Nice enough effort and better than last week for sure; he just seems too young for this event. What would he be like at 22 and competing in this? I think he is a late developer and even his voice will grow in stature. 8. Will. Not much competition for the other guys--and I will be surprised if he can make the cut tonight.   Top

fithoney23 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 03-09-06, 07:20 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" My rankings would be: 1. Chris... you have to appreciate good rock music to understand the emotions that he puts into each song!! He is the best raw talent... hands down! 2. Taylor... I think he has a wonderful voice but his motions are out of control. It's one thing to be into the song and another to look like an idiot. 3. Elliot... no it was not his best performance... but the vocals were on target and his voice is awesome. 4. Bucky... He is so good at singin country music. He picked a good song and made it his last night. 5. Will... I think he did a good job last night. No it wasn't his best performance but the teeny boppers were lovin it! 6. Gedeon... I just don't like him but he did an ok job. 7. Ace... I hate hearin guys sing those horrible high pitched songs... it's not normal and it hurts my ears. Besides he's gettin too big for his britches... the looks have to stop!! 8. Kevin... This competition is not for him. He should do like school plays or something.   Top

Chris - I don't think anything he'll do can make me take him off the top of my list 2. Taylor - For some reason, I didn't like what he did, but he DID do a great job. Enough with the dancing and the "whoo"-ing. 3. Gedeon 4. Bucky 5. Elliott - a bland performance after an awesome week. Forgivable, but he needs to get better quick. 6. Will - I don't think he did as bad a job as the judges thought. And how in the world can Randy like what Kevin did and not like what Will did? That bothers me because, IMHO, Will did a MUCH better job than Kevin. 7. Ace - The entire song was HORRIBLE. I didn't see the OK parts that Simon was referring to. 8. Kevin - Tharry tharry niiiight   Top

agent210 31 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 03-09-06, 07:59 PM (EST) 23. "RE: Rankings, Men 03/08/06" Thanks for this forum. I am in CA and often do not want to wait to see the results show so itsgreat to have a place to check things out in advance.. I must respectfully disagree with geekboy. I am not sure if we are watching the same show?? I do not think the men hold a candle to the women in terms of talent this year. I think the women are FAR superior. Granted the women have not made the best song choices and luckily most of the obnoxious women are gone but I do think that Paris, Lisa, Kelly and Mandisa are far superior to the men. The only men who have a modicom of talent are Taylor, Chris ( the one with the shaved head, I think thats his name) and Ace.... I wonder if hearing these folks live would be different? I wonder if what I hear on tv is so different than being there. Because the judges rate these people and I think to myself, " that sucked.. am I not hearing the same thing they are??" thanks again for having this forum agent210   Top
