mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 17, 2013 10:53:52 AM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse I liked Randy's suit coat. Happy Candice won, but like Cree also and Angie. Would buy any of their records. I heard niki is gone and Randy....what else is up?
ShanC Champion Author Rochester Posts:12,089 Points:405,745 Joined:Mar 2006	Message Posted: May 17, 2013 10:50:30 AM Ignore ShanC Report Abuse I thought that Randy was the real winner last night.

mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 11, 2013 3:42:36 PM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse The fact that Angie went home is a big surprise to everyone. I think Keith and Mariah should stay. Niki is just to bizarre.... To actually sit so her chair won't face toward Mariah is just childish. Her butt implants don't impress me...Do they impress you guys?

mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 29, 2013 9:44:53 AM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse I have watched the whole season...at first I hated Niki, but now I actually like her. She is right on in her assessments and never is nice just to be nice. There are rumors they asked Mariah to leave, then her lawyer stepped up to the plate. Niki is just avant-garde, but actually knows what she is talking about. I actually feel this is one of the best years of the final four. Angie is my favorite. There were no men who were good this year, in fact some were horrible. So women rule. Yeh!
TheUnitCircle Champion Author Rochester Posts:15,153 Points:2,917,855 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Apr 29, 2013 2:47:53 AM Ignore TheUnitCircle Report Abuse I don't know how she is now, but in the beginning, I couldn't personally take too much of Nicki Minaj.
HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,685 Points:1,613,630 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Apr 25, 2013 9:27:08 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse I watched the last 2 minutes tonight & saw there was no elimination because the SAVE was never used. The SAVE wasn't used should be an indicator of how bad the talent is on this show. The Voice is kicking but on Idol & most people seem to blame the judges especially Nicki for the huge drop in ratings. With X-FACTOR probably in it's last season & the fact that Paula was on Idol last week, I say get rid of Keith, Nicki & Mariah & bring back Simon & Paula.

mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 24, 2013 10:07:59 PM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse I agree, Nikki is not afraid to say the truth...I also think Keith Urban is doing a good job.
Claudie Champion Author Atlanta Posts:114,090 Points:2,729,820 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: Apr 24, 2013 10:00:40 PM Ignore Claudie Report Abuse I know that Nikki gets on a lotta people's last nerves much of the time (mine, too), but I really do think that sometimes she DOES make some very good points.
mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Apr 24, 2013 8:56:05 PM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse Angie has it. Amazing.. I think she is one of the best singers ever on AI.
HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,685 Points:1,613,630 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Mar 13, 2013 10:13:41 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse This show is dead to me. No wonder it's the lowest rated season.

HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,685 Points:1,613,630 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Jan 26, 2013 8:53:50 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse I was actually pleasantly surprised by Nicki. I think she's doing a nice job & is very compassionate to the contestants. This is the only time I watch Idol as once it gets to the final 12 I stop. I actually am finding Keith Urban boring. It's like he's not even there half the time. I think the AI producers were looking for a country star because of the success of Blake on THE VOICE! I knew Blake Shelton, Blake Shelton was a friend of mine, Senator you're no Blake Shelton. [Edited by: HOTSKEL at 1/26/2013 8:57:41 PM EST]

B5Quattro Sophomore Author Akron Posts:139 Points:107,725 Joined:Aug 2012	Message Posted: Jan 21, 2013 8:41:46 PM Ignore B5Quattro Report Abuse Its a shame . I agree NM is the main problem . My wife and I are part fo the 20% that have stopped viewing the show . We tried and lasted about 20-25 minutes.
TuanCanCook Champion Author Los Angeles Posts:11,741 Points:653,515 Joined:Jun 2011	Message Posted: Jan 21, 2013 3:06:07 PM Ignore TuanCanCook Report Abuse I couldn't watch NM past 10 minutes. Her preening and posing was boring and she's just too full of herself. This show used to be good.... Oh well.
TheUnitCircle Champion Author Rochester Posts:15,153 Points:2,917,855 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Jan 19, 2013 8:23:59 AM Ignore TheUnitCircle Report Abuse She probably has a guaranteed contract (hopefully for only 1 yr) and I think they thought that signing her would bring back the young voters. Also the powers that be probably thought Nicki stirring up trouble with Mariah would generate publicity...Too bad because I think Keith, Mariah and Randy would be a good team.
mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Jan 18, 2013 2:55:22 PM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse Why can they not fire her, Niki...? Her nasal twang and her know it all attitude so irritating. The internet is full of bad reviews about her.
Zimcity Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:65,346 Points:3,689,285 Joined:Aug 2001	Message Posted: Jan 18, 2013 11:13:55 AM Ignore Zimcity Report Abuse Ahh, it feels so good to not care about AI any more. Their poor judge choices (Nicki Manoj, really?) were the final nail in the coffin for me. I haven't ruled out watching once they get to the final 12 or 8 or 4, but probably won't care by then.
TheUnitCircle Champion Author Rochester Posts:15,153 Points:2,917,855 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Jan 18, 2013 7:34:54 AM Ignore TheUnitCircle Report Abuse Nicki really gets on my nerves. Sure, Mariah can be a diva, but she knows music and has several number ones to show for it. I also think her husband has been a good influence on her...that you really don't hear any more bad stories about her in the news.
mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Jan 17, 2013 10:37:59 PM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse HELP!!!! Can they fire Nicki Minaj.....? What a mess, chaos? The other three would be fine alone.
TheUnitCircle Champion Author Rochester Posts:15,153 Points:2,917,855 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: May 28, 2012 10:35:36 AM Ignore TheUnitCircle Report Abuse I wonder if Seacrest would be willing to take a pay cut? He has his finger in so many other pies (Kardashians, etc.)...the guy isn't hurting for money. I also saw on TMZ that Kris Allen has a "American Idol can shove it" attitude. Did anybody happen to catch that?
mexicomaria Champion Author Minnesota Posts:24,084 Points:1,351,195 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 26, 2012 7:40:16 PM Ignore mexicomaria Report Abuse i like Phillip but they had such busy, Las Vegas like, shows this year.. Jimmy maybe needs to take a break and get someone else to try making the show more about music than production.
Zimcity Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:65,346 Points:3,689,285 Joined:Aug 2001	Message Posted: May 26, 2012 7:22:54 PM Ignore Zimcity Report Abuse I heard it was the lowest rated finale ever, including season one. I would guess it will wind down after Seacrest's current contract is up.
TheUnitCircle Champion Author Rochester Posts:15,153 Points:2,917,855 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: May 26, 2012 1:06:22 PM Ignore TheUnitCircle Report Abuse Notgreen: I happened to catch that also. I guess it's another way to cut costs (because most of the Top 10 losers who release recordings usually don't sell well) and to pay the Judge's and Ryan's exorbitant salaries.

HOTSKEL Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:8,685 Points:1,613,630 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: May 24, 2012 11:49:30 PM Ignore HOTSKEL Report Abuse It's no surprise the finale was down 32% from last years. They really milked it. I guess 120 minutes of filler wasn't enough so they scheduled 127.

ShanC Champion Author Rochester Posts:12,089 Points:405,745 Joined:Mar 2006	Message Posted: May 19, 2012 8:27:51 PM Ignore ShanC Report Abuse Joshua does have more technical vocal talent. And he can entertain on stage. That does not mean he is who the voters want. I was expecting him to win it.

Zimcity Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:65,346 Points:3,689,285 Joined:Aug 2001	Message Posted: May 18, 2012 2:19:57 PM Ignore Zimcity Report Abuse As usual on Idol, the best contestants don't always make the finals, let alone win. Oh well, congrats to Jessica, who I imagine will get a bump from Joshua's voters, though Phillip could still take it with the teeny bopper texters.
