Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-26-09, 05:44 PM (EST) "AI8 Top10 Results 3/26 ECST " Please keep all results, filler, special guest stars, what Paula pulls out from under her skirt, who draws on whom, who Dr. Drew drags off stage, judges saves and audience shots on this thread until the West Coast has seen it for themselves. No sig pics please, Sig pics in the ECST turn Kara on, way more on.   Top

Highest of the season, and most for any top 10 Intro the top 10. Busy night. Ruben, Smokey and Joss Stone, Medley from Stevie Wonder. Intro the judges. Jab at Kara over 6 words. Jab at Paula and Simon's childishness. Simon says they did get a room. Clear up something on the Tonight Show. The thing with Obama was a joke.   Top

I would hear that fish commercial while I was doing other things. One day, I was walking around singing, "Give me back that banana fish." DH was like, "Banana fish?" I was all, "yeah. I don't know what that commercial is for but..." So while I know what it's for now and that he doesn't say "banana fish", that's the way I still hear it in my head. On Topic: I think all the girls sound good recorded (from what we could tell from that group number). Matt sounded great.   Top

Also that there was no way Scott was going home the same night Stevie Wonder was there.

And, really, that's all there is to see. No surprise, Michael Sarver is out. He had a nice run even getting into the top 12, so kudos to him and his family. Dunno if he's recording artist material, but he certainly had more than his 5 minutes of fame.   Top

mhdallas 165 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-27-09, 08:44 AM (EST) 65. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" Ok, either the Megan fans are completely oblivious to the fact that she can't sing worth a damn, or AI has proven yet again that they have the final say in who actually stays or goes. Let's face it, without her (extremely annoying) presence, the balance would be 7 guys and 2 girls, and we can't have that, can we? Matt most certainly did not belong in the bottom 3, and even the judges would have to agree on that. And yet the one called a 'train wreck' by the judges didn't even get nominated? Which means we have to suffer through her screeching for at least another week (hopefully only another week). Sheez. I'm having horrible Tatiana flashbacks right now - i.e. The One That Would Not Go Away. Thank God for Adam. If it weren't for him, I just might have to quit watching this show.   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-09, 08:58 AM (EST) 66. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" mhdallas, let me introduce you to votefortheworst.com Now people were voting for the entertainingly bad before they got organized, but now a bunch of them actually get together and pick one entertainingly bad person to all vote like crazy for. Basically if the producers and judges are going to put the train wrecks on the show, why not make them have to live with those decisions. People tune in to watch the train wrecks, so those same people will often vote for the train wrecks. If the producers really wanted to derail VFTW (and all the people in the USA who are independently worsters) they would cast all really good singers for the show. They obviously do not want to do that. They want the ratings the train wrecks bring. Ratings mean money.   Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-09, 09:25 AM (EST) 67. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" Not to mention the fact that we don't know the B3 is the actual B3. They threw Matt in there to scare the crap out of his fans so he'll get him more votes next week. I wouldn't be surprised if Megan was in the true Bottom 3. All that matters is the person with the least amount of votes. They can mess with the other two to suit their goals. I still like Megan and don't think she is a train wreck at all.   Top

"They threw Matt in there to scare the crap out of his fans so he'll get him more votes next week." Well it worked on me! I was SHOCKED to see him sitting there and Megan and Scott were on the couch. Goodness sakes! Time to start dialing more.   Top

If the producers really wanted to derail VFTW (and all the people in the USA who are independently worsters) they would cast all really good singers for the show. Or they would limit the number of votes that can come from each phone number. But then Ryan wouldn't be able to cream his jeans every week when he announces the total number of votes they received. (Yeah, like votes = ratings.)   Top

I believe Dancing With the Stars limits the votes (I can't recall them saying that this season). Didn't stop a lot of really bad dancers from advancing for several weeks past their expiration date.   Top

vince3 17341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-09, 03:43 PM (EST) 78. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" I think they limit it to the # of dancers that are remaining, per number used to call...... and I think you can then cast an additional set of votes via the internet, but I'm not sure.   Top

I guess that makes a sick kind of sense; after all, it does all come down to the bottom line, doesn't it? It's just a shame that it could be at the expense of a really talented singer (such as Matt, if he ended up going home - although I agree wholeheartedly with Glow's assessment of that.)   Top

I don't think she's chosen the right songs, but I do think she deserves to be there. I like that she's not run-of-the-mill cookie cutter. I like her quirkiness. I think she can sing and I like that she's not had experience before. I think she has huge potential to improve each week and I like those type of contestants. But then I loved Jason Castro and there are those that said the same thing about him.   Top

Snidget 44369 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-09, 10:09 AM (EST) 71. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" I actually do like Megan, but her quirky does get derailed into train wreck of a performance pretty easily. Vocally I think she can do some really interesting things, but I'm not sure she really was cast for some potential she might have with the right vocal coaches, writers and producers. I think she was cast because they knew she was going to show up weird and unpolished. If she was the first person like this on AI it could be an oh they were just giving someone they see potential in a chance. That there are a few such people every single season it starts to be more of a what is the purpose of casting people that have no chance of performing well reliably on the big stage. While some can be the "anyone can be on idol" mythos (which at least keeps people coming out to the auditions in most places), I think it is because they know all to well that 12 technically brilliant performances every week isn't going to make a show with high ratings. That is why they had a really hard time selling the show to the networks in the beginning. They didn't see it as reality TV part where some people aren't cast to win, they are cast to be the entertainment along the way to someone they can hopefully market at least half of the time at the end. IMO, if it were just a singing competition it wouldn't get the rating the reality TV "it is a voting competition" show gets. But to get the voting competition show you gotta give people the performances they love to hate. Sure some people always flat out love the ones that are cast to be hated, or fail, or wreck. And they have to have some talent because just plain awful isn't entertaining. It is finding that balance of just enough talent with just enough entertainment value that makes the show a ratings draw. Although I don't think they actually care that much about record sales and all that, they probably make a lot more from high ratings during the season than they could from any contract afterward. So the casting is going to be for what brings ratings. However, at least having a few people make some career for themselves keeps people coming back to the show and trying out.   Top

zazzy 4390 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 03-27-09, 11:30 AM (EST) 72. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" LAST EDITED ON 03-27-09 AT 12:06 PM (EST) I like her, too, when she is "on". But we haven't seen that for awhile. And she was ill. I think she can deliver a great performance with the right song. But that says she won't win because the winner is supposed to reliably deliver performances in many genres. So, in that regard, I also agree with Snidget's post about the producers filling the show with some they really want to win and some that are cannon fodder. Like Scott. Come on, does anyone here really think he can win? And Anoop. Maybe one or two people who post here think he can win, but really, versus the others there? I think Megan will have one really good performance with lots of judges' praise followed by a mediocre performance with so so coments that will get her booted. At 8th. (Like Haley). As for Matt's being in the bottom 3, I think singing order had a lot to do with that. It's going to be interesting to watch who the show shoves into singing early and who they have singing late the next three weeks. Singing placement, cannon fodder contestants, and judges's comments help orchestrate the boot. And this year we have the "save" in case they screw it up!   Top

Ahtumbreez 10456 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-27-09, 11:41 AM (EST) 73. "RE: Thanks Snidget!" I completly agree with both you and Snidge. I don't think she can win this, I don't think anyone thought she could win this. But I do believe there are those of us out there not in the VFTW group that actually enjoy her. I disagree with being able to sing different genres, I like the ones like David Cook that take a song of a certain genre and make it there own or find a version that fits them. I'm hoping Megan can learn to do this. I think there's a market out there for her, but agree that she needs some training.
