American Idol 2008 Results - Top 11 Announced - March 12

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

The American Idol Results show for week 4 of Season 7 live performances concluded the top 12. On Wednesday night we got our first taste of how the voting public really feels about the remaining contestants (well, the bottom ones anyway) and we said goodbye to one of our top 12. ...

    I was hoping that when he sang his last song, a pole would rise up from the middle of the stage...

    Jina commented on how strong his arms and shoulder's looked...well, you kind of need that to swing from a pole :)

    I thought it was funny how Kristy Lee Cook had to sing her song again and apologized for it...

    A lot of crap going on with Jim Carrey and Horton, so much cross-promotion...

    The producers of the show should have apologized to Kristy and the audience for making her perform it again. Man that was bad.

    Conspiracy Theory, no way did he have lowest votes, fox didnt even address the whole controversy surrounding david , this is how they did it I bet was by ousting him. As Jason said, he had no overall chance of winning so it was a matter of time, but worst of the previous night and lowest votes?!?! No chance.... the Cap'n claims shinanagans, and Fox NEVER revelas their voting tally totals...

    and I really cant stand Paula...

    I actually wanted Ramiele or Kristy Cook(whatever her name is, I don't care) to go home. I'm kinda tired of these girls (this isn't affiliated with jealousy) who are pretty but can't sing, or are boring and think they can last on the show based on their looks. David H. didn't do well with his last performance but he was a good singer and I'm suspicious because I think it may be a conspiracy by Idol. As for Amanda, I don't get why people don't like her. Yes, she doesn't sing like a song bird (like Carly, Ramiele, Brooke, etc) but shes sooo unique. I love her sound its so vintage, heavy, bluesy, etc. I think the reason is because people don't understand her style. Yeah, ok...she looked like Lily Munster but who cares. Her voice is so unique and reminiscent of Janis Joplin which was a wonderful singer back in her days and we don't hear voices like that anymore. Amy Winehouse is really successful (disregard her personal drug problems) and she slurs her words sometimes but its her unique, jazzy sound...thats why Amanda is so great. We finally hear someone different on Idol. Ok, if Amanda doesn't do well on Idol...I'm sure (at least hoping) that she comes around post Idol. I'd definately buy her albums or songs.

    It's a talent competition. I'm different. That doesn't mean you want to hear me sing. Who cares how different Amanda is? She's not being held to the same standards as the other contestants because she's different? That's not right. I mean, if people like her then they should vote for her. I don't like her style and I don't think she can sing well. There's not much I can say about her that would be good.

    All in the bottom three last night deserved to be there. I think they should have sent them all home together just to avoid the inevitable. I can't believe I will have to suffer through a few more weeks of their bad singing.

    And did anyone see who was in the audience last night? Sanjaya was there - what a joke...

    Sanjaya's the host on some show on the TV Guide channel or something. He's pretty bad on that too.

    @Ape i didnt notice Sanjaya but i did notice Danny who was listed as whats her names family and "friend" , i think it should have said "family and girlfriend"....

    Was it just me or was the Jim Carrey spectacle embarrassing, I dunno why but I thought that was below him... I'm struggling to describe it....hard to watch...

    FYI: I still cant stand Paula....

    Yeah, the Jim Carrey thing was pretty sad...like watching the Nickelodeon awards or something.

    I feel ya Cap'n - I can't stand Paula either...

    @ Jason - it is the one thing Sanjaya is good at - being bad.

    I love the legs far apart comment on Kristy Lee- thanks Jason! I know I'm not the only one who notices it though! :)
    And wasn't Sanjaya looking a bit like Yanni last night? Adrian and I were laughing that he was going to start wearing flowy robes and blessing people with good karma.
    I didn't think David H. deserved to go home so soon. He is a much better singer than half of the girls on the show.

    I think Jina said something about the spread legs too. :)

    I agree about Sanjaya. For some reason I already picture him wearing a robe...

    As for David...he probably would have stayed longer if he would have done a little of that dancing for us...

    This site is full of hypocrite haters including the one/s writing this article. Im specifically pointing to Pamela and others who are attacking RAMIELE MALUBAY. I just stumbled on this website and this article really suck bigtime! The blogger or writer cannot even make good predictions. And how can you possibly, Pamela, say that Ramiele cannot sing when the judges acknowledge the fact that she has a great voice but is just unfortunate she's given a limited choice of songs from a songbook (Beatles) which was created 20 years before she was born? I think, Pamela you're such a pathetic hater, common read your post again. And how dare you, owner/writer of this article, predict that Ramiele will be eliminated when she's well loved by young and old americans, asians,latinos and black crowd as evidenced by the comments from many websites and blogs ( which ones? it's for you to research!). Ramile haters are STUPID FOOLS! I am not mean as I come to you now but Im just giving the same courtesy to these people! If you want nice forum for American Idol leave this website and go to http://rickey.org . To all RAMIELE HATERS ...wake up and smell the coffee cause she is the NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!It's easy for you people to criticize when you're not on the stage doing the singing and the performance yourselves! And to the owner of this site...YOU BETTER WATCH OUT COS you cannot analyze the contest outcome properly! As Simon would say, FIND ANOTHER JOB (or hobby!) AMP!

    LOL! What? Are you her dad or something?

    I predict that Ramiele will not win American Idol. Bet I get that prediction right.

    I don't hate her and I hardly fit the definition of a hypocrite (maybe YOU should look that up). I'm simply stating my opinions which anyone and everyone is free to agree or disagree with. I don't think Ramiele is as talented as some of the other contestants. I think she's really cute and I wish her luck...but she's not going to win this contest. Sorry.

    ROTFL - wow, that was a fun little rant...

    1. Nothing hypocritical was pointed out in that blast, so in the infamous words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    2. She will be gone with the next 4 cuts - she will not see the top 6 - that is my prediction.
