Idol Predix Thread

My Idol reviews are online, directly below, in that post that looks like the American Idol Season 8  Commemorative Stamp Collection. Because it seems ungainly to throw a roundup and predictions into the same post, I thought I’d give my predictions for tonight here:

I have no idea. 

Well, not no idea. If forced to pick, my money’s on Michael Sarver to suffer the ignominy of going home on Country Night. I’m guessing Adam Lambert and Megan Joy’s performances were each polarizing in their own way, but I’m not sure that hurts them. In the early rounds of Idol—with tonight’s vote being split 11 ways—it is probably better to be hated (and thus remembered) than forgettable.

If we assume the singers in greatest danger are the ones viewers have forgotten after two hours when the phone lines open, I’m thinking Allison and Kris both have a good chance of rounding out the bottom three. But I’m in no way confident, because no one was really horrible enough to guarantee themselves a ticket to Bottomsville. Rather the bottom three will probably be drawn from the numerous Just OK performances—in which case Lil “Little” Rounds could get a scare this week. Your predictions?

    My bottom three: Michael, Megan and Scott. Not sure if that’s the way it will fall tonight, but that’s who I would put there.

    My top three: Anoop, Danny and Matt cause he’s a fantastic piano player.

    IMO, tonight is one of the most important nights of Idol season for the contestants at least. Getting past tonight gains you a coveted spot on the Idol tour – a wonderful consolation prize! You can bet that these 11 will be crossing fingers and toes today to NOT hear their name gone tonight.

    I have no comment on AI, since I’ve never seen even a minute of an episode…….so how about that Dharma Initiative?

    I actually enjoyed Country Night this year. I didn’t think anybody did really badly. The roundup:

    Scott: Solid, but boring and forgettable.
    Megan: This was the first week that I found her voice really irritating, and the quirky stuff was just too overexagerated for me. It may have just been because of the flu, though, but it wasn’t a great performance.
    Danny: Awful first half. Awful jacket. It got better at the middle. I like him aiight.
    Kris: Sweet and cute but forgettable.
    Lil: Did better than she got credit for – I’d never liked that song at all before, and I thought it was solid.
    Adam: wtf was that? Really, really weird. but I thought it fit with his uber-dramatic style and it was definitely interesting. The whole time he was singing I was telling Mr. Shara Says “Simon is going to say that this is indulgent. He’s gonna say indulgent! indulgent!” and he did.
    Matt: Way better than last week. He ain’t gonna win, though.
    Anoop: OK, but he ain’t gonna win.
    Alexis: I loved her Jolene (particularly when compared to Brooke White’s Jolene last year) and can’t quite figure out why the judges are so hard on her. She’s one of my favorites this year, she’s a heck of a singer and performer. I hope she makes it at least to the top 3.
    Allison: Loved it. My favorite of the night. Actually, she’s my favorite this year.
    .
    Bottom 3 prediction: Michael, Kris, and Megan. Michael or Kris will go home. Probably Michael.
    My bottom 3: Michael, Kris, and Megan
    My top 3: Allison, Alexis, and Lil

    So…here’s a question…with so few girls…if one of the girls is scheduled for the boot tonight would the judges use their “save” on any of them?

    God please let it be Adam Lambert voted off. He is a freak.

  • jamessir

    Alexis is going home.

    [...] here, Michael, finished in the bottom three in the voting. I did slightly better in my predictions, guessing Allison and Michael but missing Alexis altogether. How did you do? And would you have [...]
