Pretty much.Originally Posted by AbbysMom
That was one of the worst American Idol shows I have ever watched.It was one trainwreck after another.
No idea. I was wondering that myself. If you look at the tv guide listings it shows the 3rd group of 12 for next week, but then the following week it shows the "Top 12" in the listing so I'm not sure we will even get to see when and how they choose the last 3.Originally Posted by katiemae1277
so does anyone know exactly how this wild card thing is working? I heard that the judges would pick contestants to sing again and then choose the 3 spots from them, but how many get a second chance? is it a certain number from each show? or is it random
I know what you mean. They are allowed though as long as they don't have a "current" contract with anyone. If they were good enough though, I wouldn't think they would need AIOriginally Posted by Moz
Boy, there's a lot of duds this season. I liked Allison but supposedly she won $50,000 and a recording contract in '06. Okay then, so why is she on here?It's annoying seeing people on AI that have already had recording contracts, etc. I thought American Idol was to find the "unknowns" out there!

Danny remains my favorite so far...Originally Posted by AlleyGirl
Allison is only 16 though, so I'm not sure how true that rumor is for her...
I think the judges will just pick some singers that they think deserve a second chance, and then they will pick three to make up the top 12, at least that is the way that I understand it.Originally Posted by katiemae1277
that was beyond awfulout of the first 4, Nick/Norman was the best. Allison I thought did really well, that song was perfect for her and while Kris Allen and Matt? (the Welder) sang well, they were booooooring! I love Adam tooalthough I was not all that impressed last night, it was a bit screechy

I am a bit surprised that Megan didn't because the judges really liked her, but I kind of expect to see her brought back for the wild card round next week.
Overall I have to say this season has the most boring group of contestants though.
no contract, but apparently she had some friends in some company thats involved in AI. Not sure the details but they dropped her to prevent any drama I guess.Originally Posted by katiemae1277
you said it, sisterboring!!!!!!!!!
hey, did anyone else notice that that Joanna Piccetti (?) is not in the top 36 anymore? One morning while I was waking up I thought I heard the radio DJs talking about that she wasn't going to be on anymore but I wasn't sure if I had dreamed that or notapparently it was realanyone know why? is it because she does have a current contract?
I noticed yesterday that AI is scheduled for Tuesday, Weds and Thrus so I'm guessing the last 12 are the first 2 days and the wild cards are on Thurs. From what I understand, the judges are picking their choices but not a set number from each group.Originally Posted by AlleyGirl

That was baaaaad! There have been some pretty godawful performances this year! The girl with "the legs" was terrible.Originally Posted by AbbysMom

He bugs me. In my mind, his name is "Twilight". That dude is trying way to hard to achieve that look.Originally Posted by AlleyGirl
IAdam though (even though I hated his song choice and didn't think he did it very good. I know he can do better though, so I'm giving him another chance)
The wildcard show is March 5th...set your DVR!Originally Posted by katiemae1277

If they eliminated everyone who had a contract, or is somewhat of a professional, they'd have to eliminate most of the contestants. Adam/Twilight has been a professional most of his life, as are many of them.Originally Posted by Moz

at least last night there was no one who was absolutely horrendous, last week was full of thoseOriginally Posted by AbbysMom
At least last night was a bit better than last week.It wouldn't have been hard.
Alex Wagner-Trugman was bad, just excruciating really. The Meatloaf song was hysterical, the Abba song painful.
The blind guy was pretty good although a bit boring. Lil Rounds was good, but overhyped. I also liked the guy from Puerto Rico.
I can't help much cause I've only watched it sporadically (as in--there's nothing else on, so I'll watch AI to kill some time). Unfortunately, Tatiana did indeed get a wild card spot. That girl is sooooo full of herself; she acts as if the entire show is just for her benefit. I hope she gets voted out for good this time.. But I think I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Tatiana got a wild card spot. Please tell me it isn't so! I'll admit she has a good voice & all, but if I gotta listen to her hyena laughing one more time I'll barf!
