2. "RE: Finding it hard to stay excited" |
I agree with you 100%. The funny part is they know most of American knows this and they are trying now to trick you into believing that Latoya may not win but its in the bag.
I heard someone mention yesterday on the radio that if you really think about it, how did these 12 finalist make a whole CD when they supposedly only knew they were in and the next week 1 of them got voted out. It can take weeks or months to make a CD
Also, the day after the winner is announced her song will begin playing on most radio stations across America, so these stations would have to had an advanced copy...
It seems that the winner is picked well in advance and they go from there.

4. "No" |
The reason CDs take so long is that the arrangements. With the Idol CDs, the arrangements are done. Recording vocals takes two days max.As for the "next day" question, look at Nashville Star -- the producers made songs with EACH of the final three, since they didn't know who would win. The winner's song got released, but the losers' songs were also available for download at Walmart.com: I Meant To by Brad Cotter (winner) That Girl Inside My Head by George Canyon (second) Georgia on a Fast Train by Matt Lindahl (third) As you can see, Sony had also prepared covers for each of the singles. For Idol 1, both Kelly and Justin recorded 'A Moment Like This.' For Idol 2, the two finalists recorded targeted songs: Clay's 'This Is the Night' and Ruben's 'Flying Without Wings,' since RCA had decided to sign both of them. Who knows which way Simon Fuller will go with Idol 3? Perhaps only Simon Fuller himself.

6. "RE: No" |
Thanks for that info.
One thing I can say is I think Nashville Star is on the up and up especially when it comes to voting. They let the judges send someone home and also the public.
The host never pushes any one contestant and those judges neer seem to jump on one contestants badwagon and stay there the whole season.

Hey Shedevil..
I saw that commercial and thought it was funny.
After this year's American Idol shows, it won't be hard for them to pull off that stunt.
Hey will we be seeing more of William Hung and John Stevens??

LAST EDITED ON 05-11-04 AT 09:53 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 05-11-04 AT 08:27 PM (EST) I only watch this season, because I am curious to whom the winner might be. I have no passion for any of the contestents. I haven't all season. I loved watching last season, I would get up and applaud at the great performances, with Ruben, Clay and Kim L. I stood up and applauded alot. This season has been a joke, and has had more poor performances than good. Even the top contestents have had off nights. I don't recall Ruben ever singing poorly. He was very worthy of winning. Another thing I loved about last season, was I truly didn't care who won, because I loved the final three. This season I don't care who wins, because I don't care for any one. I will not buy the CD of any contestant that might win. (edited, well just because)

I agree Shedevil.
I like Fantasia.
There is just something about Diana that rubs me the wrong way. After last night, she seems so fake and she has beady eyes.
Her mother looks so mean to.
Grant it, she is a good singer for her age but there are times like in the first song she screamed.

24. "RE: Been excited here since week three of the semi-finals!" |
Simon made the comment a few weeks ago that the final 2 will be Diana and Latoya, thats pretty obvius since they have been praising Diana so much.
I have no respect for this show anymnore, it is fixed and they put who they want.
Ever since It was confirmed they made George change his song selections at the last minute becasue he was blowing people away in rehearsal, I have no respect for this show.
they push who they want ultimately to win and they will get that person.
Week after wek Simon has said the same things about Diana and now all of a sudden he is praising her, whats changed???

28. "RE: Been excited here since week three of the semi-finals!" |
This woman Donna who is a celebrity writer out of Syracuse New York said the producers made George change his songs. he had first picked "Unforgettable" and "Minnie the Moocher"
They told him they were not good fits. She said people who were at rehearsals said George was blowing people away with his rendition of Unforgettable.
George then confirmed the producers made him change his song selection when he did his interview with TV guide.
That is why if they are not tampering with votes they are manipulating reactions. I guess if George had gotten up there and blew American away with Unforgettable, then he would have gotten the lesss then 200 votes that separated he and Jasmine. They wanted an all female final 4.
Believe me, whoever they have picked out will be who wins.
Look at last year, even Simon said in his book that Kimberly Locke sang better then Ruben the last 3 weeks of the competition but did we ever hear them tell her that???????

I read her column on another forum but she gave her email address and it is dlturtle@earthlink.net. She can tell you where to find it, in the meantime if I can I will post it.
She says that many people want her to investigate but she does not have enough solid evidence and the producers of American Idol won't talk to her.

That's too bad, if it's true. I like George, and I think he would have done both songs well. And "Minnie the Moocher" would have been totally in sync with Big Band, unlike some of the other songs chosen!

29. "RE: Doesn't matter which wins" |
Still finding it hard to be excited, but not hard to be amused thanks to AZ's last paragraph above!
I'm not too worried about Jasmine. If Camille already had opportunities waiting for her when she returned home, just imagine the reception for Jasmine. Her dreams were bigger than local celebrity, but she will have that as a consolation.

30. "RE: Finding it hard to stay excited" |
On another Forum they claim they have the result totals and they said Latoya is actually going home tonight.
If you remember in Season 1, Tamyra Grey went home and Nikki McKibben stayed.
If this is true then maybe Latoya decided not to sign their contract like Tamyra said. She actually said you do better if you do not win the title.
After Latoya's comments last night, it could be possible.
Maybe hawaiians do each have 5 phones, Jasmine herself said that they all bought new phones in her family and she power votes for herself.
Wow if this turns out to be true, we may have another Pearl harbor on our hands. What controversy, but you know what they said in the past 2 weeks their ratings have slipped, they had huge ratings the week of the Johnny/Jennifer scandal.
I would actually think with Latoya's personality she would not want to win this competition, you realize all the talk shows she would have to go on...
Think about it, had Jasmine gone last week and George stayed, it would not have been that big of a controversy if George won and Latoya stayed, no racist issue of course and George was a decent singer.. So the behind closed doors meeting last week was to decide to send George home instead of Jasmine to save Jasmine to this week and send Latoya.
Controversy=ratings.
Its a longshot but if Jasmine stays tonight, how else would they explain this??

Yea Latoya said at this point in the contest, everyone is a winnder and will go on to I think she may have said get a record deal. Simon actually knocked the comment when I think it was Fantasia who came out and he said that Latoya should not be thinking like that at this point.
Strange to me, she may want to go out, who knows she may be getting tons of deals elsewhere I think the only thing you have to do is not put a record out before they do.

34. "Agreed and Disagree" |
I also found it to be very boring and hard to stay with recently (Barely watched it this week), but for a completely different reason. These are arguably 4 of the Top 6 voices out of the 12 (Jennifer and George the other two, which I'll get to), but it seems that it is sort of cookie cutter, namely that they are all girls that have powerful voices and can do both styles of songs. That isn't a bad thing and that is the prototype you want, but it is incredibly boring to hear LaToya, then LaToya with a bigger attitude and some mild differences (Fantasia), a younger LaToya with more of a performer in her with a slightly lesser voice (Diana), and then Jasmine who I think is clearly #6 on my power rankings.As bad as John Stevens was, I watched for him since he was different, he was a good break between the powerhouses. To a lesser extent, George was the male performer who made a nice break between the Big 4, and Jennifer had arguably the strongest voice in the competition along with the flair for the drmaatic. Those 3 were great buffers for the group of 4 remaining. Once Camille got booted, then we had my favorite group of the season. Then subsequently, Jennifer, John, and George went goodbye, and we were left with 4 similar if not equal singers. Big whoop.

Great synopsis on this. I totally agree.
If in fact they do tamper with the voting, why on earth would they come up with these results???

39. "Now I'm excited!" |
Don't worry - Latoya's going to get a contract. I just objected to Simon force-feeding us viewers that Latoya should - and would - win. Which is why the show got so boring.IMO, out of the three remaining finalists, Fantasia should win. But a Jasmine or Diana win would make for really entertaining TV. 
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

They'd fit right in with the rest of the bad singers, they'd have a better shot of winning that competition.
(he's just missing suspenders)
