American Idol, Top 24

Feb 25, 2011 11:49

So we have our top 24, and there are quite a few I like with a definite favorite to win, and definite favorite girl and boy. And a few I don't like. Of course.

My thoughts on the 24 behind the cut. )

You think she comes across as calculated?

I do -- it's not just the Steven Tyler thing, but the "cousin with cancer" thing (though that thankfully hasn't been brought up lately). I was better with her during Hollywood solo round, and then group round came up and my issues came up all over again. ;p

When I can just listen to her sing (like Hollywood solo rounds), maybe that'll be better. But I kind of feel like she's being shoved down my throat, and I don't like that. :/

I'm sure that half the Adam fanbase is creaming over him, while the other half is hating him for trying to outdo Adam.

Ha -- actually, I think close to 100% of the Adam fanbase hates him, for trying to be an Adam imitator when he is not the Genuine Original. ;p I wish he wouldn't have namedropped Adam like that -- you don't want to invite those comparisons willingly. Wait til the judges bring it up. :/

can I take a moment to preen that I was so right that Simon Cowell was SO NOT the make it or break it of this show?!

You may, you may. :D I'm so happy to be proven wrong -- I thought the show would sink without Simon. What a pleasant surprise S10 has been so far. :D

I don't even remember the cousin w/cancer thing, and I just can't blame her for it -- especially since it hasn't come up again. That's the show selling the sob story.

Can I say that I actually am pleased to hear this? Loyalty's a good thing, yo! Though, I do get why he mentioned it first, better call it out before others do it in a negative way, I guess.

I wasn't thinking of you specifically, but the hordes of people who said so, and I just couldn't fathom the idea that one judge (no matter how popular) was that important on a show where millions upon millions of people take the time to pick up a phone and vote. That voting had nothing to do with Simon, but with the contestants.
