American Idol "Results" for 3/15/06 *spoilers*

[Kamakzie]

Who will it be that goes? My guess is Kevin or Melissa.

[Kamakzie]

HAHAHHA OMG! Ace in the bottom three over Kevin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHHA

[Kamakzie]

Woah Lisa, Melissa and Ace are the bottom 3. Kevin should be the one up there and not Lisa... Ace is safe. The loser has to be Melissa.... Has to be... Yup Melissa is gone-o. She botched the lyrics..

[Guindalf]

Simple - forget your lines, go home - not a bad choice!

[Kamakzie]

Simple - forget your lines, go home - not a bad choice!

Yeah that is pretty inexcusable.

[darthrsg]

vote for the worst is real!

[jehma]

Whoever is stuffing the ballot box for Kevin has got to stop!

I was surprised to see Lisa in the bottom 3, but I guess that she doesn't have much of a fan base.

[Figaro]

Damn it would have been awesome to get rid of Ace this early on! Oh well he can stick around a little longer, especially if we get rid of that bobble headed muppet Paris.

[Andrew_S]

vote for the worst is real!

Yes it is. Would be great to see Kevin win it all. Is there any kind of auditing done on the voting? Could Kevin be denied victory by the producers of the show even if he is the top vote getter?

[PJO1966]

One of these days I'll remember to not look at my Excite home page until I can get a chance to watch the show. They never fail to have a picture of the loser up.

I can't say I'm surprised that she got the boot. I think that's the first time that somebody forgot the words at this stage of the competition. Also Kevin getting more votes than Ace is inexcusable.

[marksman]

Yeah stop voting for Kevin. I don't care if Melissa stood up there with a blank stare for 2 minutes. Kevin has no business still being there.

[latrobe7]

vote for the worst is real!Thanks, I couldn't remember what that 'movement' was called. I checked out their website (http://votefortheworst.com/index.html), and Kevin's their guy alright.

They've also got some interesting (if dubious) info on Kellie Pickler there.

[Philly Bill]

I got a job for her as a Turkey Baster. :)

[newsposter]

Those who are glad Mel is gone...can you look me in the eye (Ace style) and say she is REALLY worse than Kev?

i do find forgetting the words inexcusable at this stage but i dont think American used that as criteria as they aren't that 'intelligent' if they kept chicken little in!!!! I hate that at the end they have the disclaimer about power dialers yet the numbers of calls still seems about the same as last year. Heck, it would almost be in a contestants interest to pay some people with dialers to call for them.

I'm glad ace got a wake up call. I'm not saying whether he deserved it or not, just that he seemed a bit too complacent.

[Turtleboy]

Kevin is this season's John Stevens.

I don't even think it's "Vote for the Worst." I think that he has a constituency that will vote hard for him for a while.

I don't think people vote based on who did best that week, but based on who their predtermined favorite is.

[Figaro]

I can't believe the horrible Ford commercial has not been mentioned yet. For a little while it looked like a relative of Elliot was in it but he turned out to really be Ace. What a goofy piece of deuce that was.

[nyny523]

Why, oh why, is Sucky Bucky still in this thing?!?! :confused: :mad:

He is far and away the least talented person in the entire group. I can't even believe he made the final 12. At least Melissa and Kevin can sing...whether or not you like their style is another story. But this guy can't even carry a tune - I just don't get it. YECH!

[jradosh]

Is there anything about this show that you like? :p

That commercial actually started good when it was just (whatshisname) singing by the fire. But then the others came out of the woodwork and it got worse and worse. But I did like McFine in uniform :D

We loved the commercial! It was lots of fun.

No complaints about the Ford thing, because I skipped over it. Watched the 30 minute show in about 5-6 minutes.

[ILoveCats&Tivo]

Could Kevin be denied victory by the producers of the show even if he is the top vote getter?

Why not --Clay was ;)

[newsposter]

I think we didn't mention the ford thing because it was that forgettable...they need to do a better job and put the ford on stage so the loser can drive off in it

I think the Kevin situation reminds me more the Scott Savol situation...how high did he make it from that Vote for Worst campaign?

I actually liked John Stevens. At least he had a nice personality

Scott Savol and Kevin :down:

[Figaro]

wow! American Idol has shut down http://www.dialidol.com/. What a bunch of pricks.

[ILoveCats&Tivo]

We North Carolinians stick together ;)

Seriously though, I'm not crazy about Bucky, but he is better than at least two of the others..

[HIHZia]

Who are you people (like Randy and Paula) that think Kevin can sing? His voice is HORRIBLE, and I'm not talking about the lisp. He just sounds awful. How did he even get on this show? Please, please, please get him out of there!

[ILoveCats&Tivo]

His voice vibrates..he sounds like a motor running and he looks like a fish when he sings.

The problem is that people are voting for him because he is awful because they think it is funny to irritate others by keeping him in the competition and crushing the dreams of others who deserve to still be there. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it except vote more for our favorites.

I don't vote anymore because I think the whole voting process is flawed, so in a way, I can't complain about who gets voted to stay in. On the other hand, if people are voting for goofballs just for the heck of it, the system is flawed, which validates my point to not vote. Double edged sword. :rolleyes:

[marksman]

wow! American Idol has shut down http://www.dialidol.com/. What a bunch of pricks.

I think it would be fairly easy to set up the site without violating American Idol copyrights. So instead of getting mad at American Idol, why not get mad at the idiots who set up the site?

The guy is an amazing idiot. First of all he apparently got a cease and desist letter and did not consult with an attorney. So he sits there wringing his tiny little mouse hands fretting about being able to post the cease and desist. (Should be no problem for him to post it, but I am not a lawyer.) Secondly his whole stupid David vs Goliath story line is more like Lenny (him) vs Bunny Rabbit (American Idol). Finally, he actually says that FreeMantle Media is infringing on his first ammendment rights to free speech, which makes him either 8 years old or very dumb.

Sorry, but I don't have sympathy or take up the cause everytime someone gets called on doing something wrong. This guy clearly falls into such a category and I have no sympathy for him. I don't care about his measuring of busy signals and gauging the vote. That is not even actionable. Not having been to the site before though, I have no idea what he had on there that might have triggered their laywers to send a c&d, but just from the messages on there now I bet dollars to donuts he was violating it in some way.

[TAsunder]

That montage was dumb, but it started off strong with chris on guitar and ended strong with mcphine threatening to handcuff me.

I didn't really dig the Stevie song. It got better towards the end, though.

I liked the Melissa farewell performance, though. Man, that was so much better than anything Kevin's done it's not funny.

I think Chris and Taylor are going to be hard to beat. Simon likes them both, the audience goes crazy for them, and they are the most unique. Only some clever cleavage can possibly usurp them.

I don't recall anything on the site that would be an infringement. If it was the use of pictures then they need to be shutting down all the fan sites as well. The site was clearly shut down because he was predicting the loser.

I didn't even get to hear Melissa's adios as the show ran over and my TiVo switched over to another channel. Did she get the words right this time? I feel a little bad for her though, she wasn't the best singer on the show but she is head and shoulders above some of the tools that are left Ace, Kelly, Kevin, Bucky, and maybe Lisa I am looking at you. She just never got any reasonable treatment by the producers. No one really new who she was so why would they vote for her? Oh well she gets to go on a tour and have some fun before fading back in to obscurity in Florida.

[RangersRBack]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Katharinem.jpg

I was thinking the exact same thing. ;)

[lambertman]

Sad to see Melissa go so quickly. Would've enjoyed to see Kevin, Paris, and Bucky all gone first.

The new Idol show on Fox Reality premieres tonight at 6:30 pm EST. Hope it's miles better than that abomination TV Guide Channel put on Tuesday night - I only lasted ten minutes, and most of that was fast-forwarding.

[newsposter]

it was rude to show everyone elses full loser song but cut her off after about 10 seconds just to show their new crappy sit com

[Zaui]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/KG___/Taylor.jpg

If this is taylor hicks with a black hair.. wow. he's hot!

[Zaui]

Simple - forget your lines, go home - not a bad choice!

"premonitions"

[mgar]

She wasn't the worst singer, but far from the best. I was not disappointed to see her go. I would like to see Chicken Little and Bucky leave sooner than later.

[PJO1966]

From what I read, the gang was supposed to sing a medley of Stevie songs. When he walked in they were practicing My Cherie Amor (sp). Did his song go on too long and they ran out of time? It seemed like Ryan was zipping through the results. Usually they milk it for as long as possible.

[Turtleboy]

Did they say what next week's theme was? I got cut off.

[PJO1966]

According to the website, it's "The 50's".

I hate, hate, hate that Seacrestout tries to be all cryptic and mysterious about things. It's getting old Ryan, get on with it. :rolleyes:

[vman]

Our local Fox news reported last night that the band Fuel was so taken with Chris, that they offered him their open lead singer position! But he can't take it because he's signed his life away to Simon Fuller.

Just curious -- Do you think he'd be better off leaving the show to join Fuel (if he were allowed to) or sticking it out and doing something on his own through and after Idol?

I don't have a strong opinion either way -- I think he's good, and he'd be fine with a group like Fuel, but I'm getting a little tired of his one-note act on Idol. It cracked me up when he said he wanted to do a mix of the Stevie Wonder/Red Hot Chili Peppers versions of the song he performed -- I didn't hear much Stevie in there!

I guess the judges have not listened to the RHCP's version as they were giving Chris a lot of credit for "making the song his own." I think there were maybe one or two moments when he strayed from doing an exact copy of that song. And I know it pretty well at the moment, having played it numerous times in Guitar Hero (awesome game, BTW).

Still, he consistently has the best (or at least second best) performance. It should be interesting to see how he handles the upcoming themes. 50s? Blech.

And I don't think joining Fuel would be a great move for him right now. Sure, they had a few hits, but if anything, he probably has better name recognition than Fuel ever did. :)

Do you know what happened to their singer?

[laststarfighter]

I didn't even get to hear Melissa's adios as the show ran over and my TiVo switched over to another channel. Did she get the words right this time?
They ran through some fast credits then ended the show. She didn't even get to the chorus so we don't know if she screwed up this time.


If this is taylor hicks with a black hair.. wow. he's hot!
And about 40 pounds lighter. :p

[latrobe7]

I wonder if the people in the studio, particularly Melissa, knew when Fox cut away; like the red light on the camera went off or something. One last slight for the road :p

[Deekeryu]

I don't like girls with husky voices like Melissa Ethridge, so I'm glad Melissa is gone.

And I also believe the Vote for the Worst target is Kellie Pickler, not Kevin.

[robinreale]

Did they say what next week's theme was? I got cut off.

Yes, the 50's, and apparently Barry Manilow is performing Wednesday night.

Well if you go to their page you will clearly see that the target it Kevin. You husky voice hater :p

[mgar]

They have targeted both. Check the google cache of the page.

[ILoveCats&Tivo]

Man, I hope Manilow does better than he did during his recent PBS special. He looked and sounded horrific in my opinion and loved him in the 70s (what was I thinking :rolleyes: )

[Figaro]

They have targeted both. Check the google cache of the page.
Who cares? Right now they are focusing on kevin because there is only one elimination per week. They will get back to Kelly when Kevin is gone.

[ILoveCats&Tivo]

Why would they target Pickler, she is no where near as bad as Kevin (in looks or voice)?

[mgar]

I honestly don't care either, just adding data points to the thread. At work I will usually check the Google cache of a website that has been mentioned in a thread, rather than go directly to that web site. Apparently before the final 12, they were targeting Kelly as the worst female, and Chicken Little as the worst male.

At least Kelley is better than Carmen from Utah a couple of seasons ago.

[Turtleboy]

In Howard Stern this morning, Simon said that he thinks the last three are going to be bald dude, grayhair, and Pickler.

[TAsunder]

He said those were the last three or the ones he likes? I guess for him it may be the same thing. He said on the Tonight Show that he liked those three the most, but didn't mention whom he predicted to win.

Pickler in the final 3? Well, I guess anything is possible. If Nikki McKibben could do it so could she. Personally I hope not. Replace her with Lisa or Mandisa and it would make more sense.

He said that those will be the last 3. That he was predicting them to win.

[boneill]

Those who are glad Mel is gone...can you look me in the eye (Ace style) and say she is REALLY worse than Kev?

Nope, Kevin is the worst. However, I can still be glad Melissa is gone. They both sucked.

[boneill]

Is there anything about this show that you like?

Judging from his title, there's not much he likes about anything.

[boneill]

The problem is that people are voting for [Kevin] because he is awful because they think it is funny to irritate others by keeping him in the competition and crushing the dreams of others who deserve to still be there. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it except vote more for our favorites.

I agree. I'm having a hard time telling if Randy is laughing with Kevin or at him. They aren't doing him any favors. You can see his ego grow every week, as he keeps lisping his way through crappy performances.

[newsposter]

The reality show was OK...the host is horrible. And the emphasis on celebrities was a joke. who?

Nice to see they spent a decent time on mel. :)

[sixseven]

Did anyone else have to do a double take with the wording on Ace's shirt? It took be a few minutes to see that the word in big print was "rocked" and not another word starting with the letters "fu"...

oh you got me that time...I need back up... :p

[Jesda]

I liked Melissa a lot, but she ruined one of my favorite songs. Thumbs down.

Kevin and Kellie can duke it out for who earns VFTW's support.

Ace is a leftover from the late 90s who fell off the NSync tour bus. He's polished and all, but his style is nothing interesting these days.

I watched Nashville Star for the first time this week and laughed -- at how pathetic AI is in comparison. I'll keep watching AI though. Its not like it interrupts my "busy" schedule.

[aindik]

I don't want to resurrect the thread from the prior episode, but I was wondering why nobody chose any of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs. Nobody picked "For Once in My Life," "My Cherie Amour," "You Are the Sunshine of my Life," "I Wish," "Sir Duke," or "I Just Called to Say I Love You."

I have a Stevie Wonder compilation CD. All of these songs are on it. Many of the songs sang on Tuesday night, I'd never heard of.

[Havana Brown]

Did anyone else have to do a double take with the wording on Ace's shirt? It took be a few minutes to see that the word in big print was "rocked" and not another word starting with the letters "fu"...

Yes, yes, yes. I meant to write that, but thanks for bringing it up. It was especially noticeable in the beginning when he was sitting down with the other 11 contestants. :eek:

[ILoveCats&Tivo]

I noticed the same thing. I guess they didn't want to be compared to Wonder on the more well-known songs maybe? That just doesnt jive though because I enjoy a song more if I am familiar with it, even if I do tend to compare it to the original..

[cfand3boyz]

Kevin is this season's John Stevens.

I don't even think it's "Vote for the Worst." I think that he has a constituency that will vote hard for him for a while.

I don't think people vote based on who did best that week, but based on who their predtermined favorite is.
I agree 100% about Kevin.

[PJO1966]

Maybe those songs were part of the medley that was scrapped. We know they all learned My Cherie Amor. (did I mention that's my favorite song?)

[latrobe7]

I agree. I'm having a hard time telling if Randy is laughing with Kevin or at him. They aren't doing him any favors. You can see his ego grow every week, as he keeps lisping his way through crappy performances.That's the way I feel. I'm reminded of what happened when Tommy asked Carrie (http://imdb.com/title/tt0074285/) White to the prom out of sympathy. And while I don't think Kevin is going to tear apart the studio when the pig's blood finally comes down; I think he is going to be crushed. He is being built up for a fall, purely for the amusement of others, which is cruel.

I think he is somewhat aware of it, but he'll still be crushed when he realizes any solo career he might have will be as a novelty act like William Hung.
