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.

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."

"Which Mikalah camp are you in?" |
Camp Wow She is Spunky!!!! or Camp Someone Please Beat Her with the Microphone Stand, Now. ?Simon thinks the viewing public can be divided into two equal groups, with 50% of the viewing public loving her and the other 50% finding her to be annoying. I am begining to think she is the clone spawn of Joan Rivers and Fran Drescher, the Nanny-- which obviously puts me in the latter group. In fact, I am looking forward to throwing her many surprise bashes this season.

I think she's entertaining, which is more than I can say for some of those BORING girls this season. I think I dozed off during a few of the other performances. Don't you remember auditions? She sounded great, but someone has to tell her to TONE IT DOWN! I love how she makes Simon smile and laugh, and not in a bad way, either....She stands up to him without being snarky and I think he respects that.

Oh -- She will go far! You can count on that. Not because she is talented (I had the stereo cranked up Tuesday night and STILL could not make out any words she was singing!). Its because she is marketable.In the end, thats all they want from this show -- someone who can be sold. If they have talent, well hey, thats a bonus! And "the nanny" can be sold... Not to me, but someone will buy it... Archon "You can get more with a 2x4 and a kind word than with just a kind word."

I realized something last night. She has a decent & interesting singing voice, but she mucks it up by talking or talk-singing. When she goes nasal, its just horrible. Also, she is more of an entertainer. I think she would be great in a show (vegas or other), and I'm sure that living in vegas has had too much of an influence on her. I'd even pay to see it. But would I want to just listen to a CD of hers - heck no!!! I'm likin PMons more & more

yaaaa I'll agree..... Faith had a TREMENDOUS voice but for some reason she acted like 'just make me the idol, and get this over with' mentality it seemed like..... That dropped her on my scale by several notches. If her attitude had matched her singing talent, she woulda been in the top 12 IMHO. But still even with no apparent effort on her part .... she was a better singer than that cheerleader bee bopper..... lol
and no... I will not define bee bopper lol

With out reading through the rest of the posts. I already feel I am in the minority here, but I really like her. I have used the word "spunk" several times to discribe her, and it isn't just her "spunk" that I like. It's her youth, her enthusiam, beauty, she's funny, and has a great voice. I think she is a likeable person. However, she is someone that I could only take in small doses, otherwise, she would wear me out.

Nails on a chalkboard.......If I thought it was all "real" I would probably cut her some slack. However, while I believe some of her schtick is legitimate, I think that she is playing is up to the audience to get attention. She gets away with it because she is so young. It wouldn't work with someone who is older. I just don't like anyone trying to manipulate me (and the judges) so transparently. Hopefully it will get old real quick for most of the viewing audience. celula

I am not an avid American Idol watcher. I did watch a few of the initial open audition shows. Those are always funny. The first time I saw this girl sing was this Tuesday. And I thought "now how exactly did she get here" I can't stand her voice. So the judges start talking, Randy likes her. not surprisingly, Paula agrees with Randy. Then it's Simon's turn, and I think " oh he's really gonna let her have it now". And all Simon had was this lukewarm 50%, 50% thing. And then , she spoke!!!! OMG, if I could turn back time, I would have rewound and found the mute button!!! A voice like that should never come out of a 16 year old's mouth. So I halfway watched the elimination show last night, and apparently , she's still there?? Why

Talking about the Jews in NYC pulling for Mikalah was a little bit much. Now, if she were Jewish or even from NY, but what's your issue? That being said, she may just be the first Jewish princess wannabe....My educated guess would be that divorced Daddy may be Jewish and she identifies with "poor Catholic single mom who hung in there blah blah blah."

I am not in either camp. So, you can put in "Camp I could care less". What I do think is this.... whether you have total admiration, or completer distain for this "Jewish/Catholic Joan Rivers/Fran Dresher" young lady, she is going to be around for awhile.Why? Because she is a converstation piece. In this message board alone, she has already had two different threads just for her. I for one, do not vote. Why? Because I really don't think it matters. In the end, I believe it is the producers who decide the success or demise of each contestant. I started to believe this in season two, when they sent Ruben down to the bottom two. I found it hard to believe that he received a lower amount of votes than Josh Gracin. So , that led me to believe that the producers had the final say, giving viewers something to talk about the next day. Guess what? It worked. So, whether you think she is a breath of fresh air, or you think she is totally annoying. She is here to stay at least until the finals.

and I'll do what needs to be done for the good of the listening public and all decent music-loving people everywhere. I know I can rely on TeamJoisey to help me hide the evidence.I can't imagine why the producers would want to cast the screeching younger sibling of Fran Drescher, Janice from "Friends," Rosie Perez, Barbra Streisand and the entire cast of "La Cage Aux Folles" and think we'd LIKE it. On the contrary, they clearly selected her to give us someone to cringe over. Honestly, I just need her to stop. I need her to stop with the flabby white arms, the self-conscious asides to the judges camouflaged as cuteness, the McDonald's Arches eyebrows and the blow-up-doll lipstick. But most of all I need her to stop with the nasal caterwauling she calls "singing". She won't make the Final 12. Bye, Mikalah!

79. "RE: Someone pass me the mike stand" |
Yes, I'm afraid you're right.Clearly, for demographic/viewership reasons, it has been deemed desireable to keep the chipper Jewish girl in the competition despite her atrocious performance last night. In exactly the same way, the judges are lavishing praise on the very average Amanda Avila, because it will be helpful to ratings to keep the Latin demographic interested. Last night's judging commentaries were the most blatant and transparent attempt to manipulate the voting I've ever seen on this show, and that is Saying Something. Mikalah was truly horrible last night, from the choice of song, the sound of her voice, her ugly facial mugging, and the roll of flab hanging out over the top of her too-tight pants. I can only hope the voting public isn't as manipulable as the show's producers clearly believe it is. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

87. "Wow, are you serious?!" |
I am really surprised that Mikalah has garnered so much hostility! From the early auditions, I certainly noticed her, and I liked her voice well enough. I didn't care for her in the first finals week, but the second was a stellar performance. Honestly, beyond chuckling a little at her over-the-top-ness, she hadn't really stood out all that much to me, at least not as a serious contender. However, seeing some of the comments on this thread is a bit enlightening. Perhaps I should choose a side? I hadn't given it much thought before, but I will firmly align myself with the "Love her" side of the coin based on what I read here. Let me explain why. Hating her? Perfectly acceptable, in my opinion. I completely understand. There have been fan favorites in seasons past that I just didn't get, and because of the overwhelming support they received, it pushed me more firmly toward the "hate" end of the spectrum. What really troubles me in this thread is three-fold, and all of it adds up to me feeling a bit protective of the girl. First, we are questioning her sexual promiscuity? Really? Do we really need to address the sexuality of a seventeen year old child to demonstrate how much we dislike her? That's sickening, it's a cop-out, it's cheap, and it should be beneath all of us. The first time she acts like a whore and we see it/hear of it, fine, fair game, but really, Sergeant Sargeant says, "...and I bet she is extremely friendly with the boys..." Why would you ever assume that? That's reprehensible, and I cannot believe you would say that about another woman in a forum that a lot of women populate. So easy to call a woman (or, in this case, a girl) a whore and be done with it, but it's extremely tacky and a deplorable low-blow in my eyes. Second, one of my criterion for supporting one of the American Idol contestants is grace in accepting compliments or criticisms, and an obvious consideration of advice from the judges. She blasts that one out of the park. She is listening to the feedback and applying the advice to her performance -- effectively -- in such a manner that belies her youth and inexperience. Dontgetmestarted said it ("showing that she was really trying to listen to and act on the 'advice' she had been given... that is a more mature stance than we have seen (at least in the past) from the older contestants.") and I have heard others say it, but not here, and a desire to be better - to improve - really elevates her in my opinion. Third, Mikalah, all throughout this thread, is faulted for the voting contingent who may or may not support her. Isn't it fair to say, though, that each contestant, in his or her own way, will pick up a following completely devoid of anything they do but sing and market themselves in a certain way? To fault Mikhala here is to also fault Bo and Constantine for appealing to the rocker crowd, Nadia for appealing to the hip,unique, younger set, Carrie for appealing to people who just want to see a boring, safe, but nice girl win, and Anwar for the older set who appreciate sweetness coupled with competency. Let's be realistic. It's not Mikhala's "fault" who decides to support her. And, while you might compare her with Fran Drescher or possibly even call her a Barbra-wannabe, she is certainly no Joan Rivers. Joan is a washed up old hag who delights in being mean and ugly and spiteful to anyone who crosses her path. Anyway, for those reasons, Mikhala has my support so long as she keeps heeding the advice, keeps improving, and keeps trying to temper her exhilerating, if not borderline annoying, personality.

98. "RE: Which Mikalah camp are you in?" |
Well, in fairness, Lindsey and Mikalah are probably equally appalling as performers. Neither of them can sing, let's be completely frank about it. Nobody in this community could honestly tell me that they'd want to hear an entire record sung by either of them.The only thing distinguishing one from the other is that Lindsey is passably attractive and somewhat less annoying than an itchy kneecap inside a full-leg plaster cast, whereas Mikalah is at LEAST that annoying AND sausage-shaped into the bargain. The only thing I can say in her favour is that the hair and makeup people are doing a fantastic job with what she brings them to work with. On that basis, you're probably right -- Mikalah should have gone before Lindsey. I can only surmise that what I find annoying about Mikalah is endearing to a sufficient number of other poor misguid... uh, people that their votes are marginally keeping her in the contest over contestants like Lindsey who just don't give anybody anything to grab onto and get motivated about. Mikalah's not going to win the contest, obviously. It is only a matter of time before her run comes to an end. Really, there is not much competition for that bottom spot; only Nikko could realistically challenge her for it next week. The vast majority of the performers are in the middle of the pack and could come or go at any point if they slip a bad performance in. I expect we have a lot of bad performances to sit through before we see Bo win it over Nadia.
