I think that was just mean. Mike is just so meh for me. He can sing, but I just find him boring. Did anyone else catch Ryan's little dig at Dunkleman? I thought that was totally rude saying something like he was going to be hosting I think the Idol gives back and then saying just kidding, so and so is really hosting it. I thought that was so uncalled for. Maybe there is something further going on than I know about. I just remember Dunkleman hosting AI the first year with Ryan and then after that first year Dunkleman being dropped. If you got the job over someone else, isn't it in poor taste to rub it in their face years later?

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Thanks amazed. The link worked. So I wasn't only one that wondered what was up with that. The joke definitely feel flat. I was shocked to read in that article that Dunkleman was the one who left the show. I thought AI decided they only needed one host. How strange that after 8 years, Ryan brings that up. I thought maybe there was some sort of recent fued between the two that I didn't know anything about like Dunkleman writing a tell all book saying Ryan got him booted from show, but apparently not.

Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, I envision liking Adam best in a role with a group like Queen that's all about showmanship (thank you, Freddie). Or even something like KISS. Not just solo artist/rocker guy, though. THat's just not who he is.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I adore Siobhan. I love her kookiness and her butterfly dress was adorable. Both DH and I thought her voice was beautiful last night. Crystal should win though, hands down.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss I think Siobhan has a good tool, but doesn't know what to do with it. Her singing lacks direction or focus.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 She's 19. A lot of 19 year olds lack focus - and luckily for her there's a fine line sometimes between unfocused (bad) and unpredictable (good). I know what you're saying about her, but I still find her far more interesting than some of those who remain. I hope either Tim or Aaron goes home tonight (if indeed they boot anyone - in past years, they've sent NO ONE home on "Idol Gives Back" night, so we'll see what they do tonight). Neither were terrible, but it's past time. Both Mike and Casey, though very talented, are in danger of seeming like one-trick ponies if they're not careful. They've both had performances where they transcended that ("Jealous Guy" for instance) but they slip back into their comfort zones a little too easily and just give us "good, not great" a little too much. I didn't think Lee was quite as good as the judges did - The Boxer is a strange choice of a song to squash down to 90 seconds, or whatever they gave them last night - but he's getting better and taking chances and is probably my second favorite now. But oh my - wasn't Crystal something last night? Wow. As the judges pointed out, she was the only one who actually was inspiring. And that's because she makes the audience FEEL something. The moment at the end where she broke down was just the icing on the cake - a big plus for her because it was so obviously genuine, and the only knock I've seen on her has been that she seems "unemotional" to some (I've never thought so). But well before that moment she was blowing the rest of the field away.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to single her out as the only one who should go. I pretty much agree with your assessment of the remaining contestants. For me, Crystal is the only one truly worth listening to; the others are fighting for second place. But...it's certainly possible people will get lazy and not vote for her, figuring she'll be set with a recording career regardless of the outcome. IMO if she doesn't win, it's going to be either Lee or Casey taking the crown.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I hope Tim or Aaron go. My favs are Crystal and Lee. Mike and Casey are a tier below. Siobhan (sp) is starting to work my nerves. She's a mess in song choice. I think she has talent but just not ready yet. Crystal is hands down the best of the group.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Hi Lisann! So we didn't exactly watch most of AI last night but did catch a bit. I have to say that whoever dressed the contestants was a bit um, on something shall we say? Time for Tim to go, we all knew that so now I guess they'll go in this order, Aaron, Mike, Casey, Lee with Crystal winning. Not much of a stretch there It could be better for Crystal if she doesn't win. I'm sure there are agents/labels that are waiting in the wings with pen in hand. Lee may do better as an Idol.
