Paula Abdul Spills: Jamie Foxx Mentors the Idols for Rat Pack Week Plus Contestants to Sing Only One Song

Woohoo!!! Jamie Foxx seems to be a great mentor given that he did play Ray Charles. But then again, it would have been better that someone in the Rat Pack should have done the mentoring.

But too bad, none of them are alive. I guess Jamie Foxx, is good enough. Also, at least we get to hear Paula’s take on everyone. I think the judges are still forgetful of Kris though unlike the fans who are noticing his talent.

Ya but are any of them still alive?

Joey Bishop would have been our last hope, and he died two years ago.

I think Jamie Foxx will do well…although he’s probably promoting a movie or something.

It’s not like the mentor makes that much of a difference.

Jamie Foxx is ubertalented, imo. I look forward to seeing him.

And, I’m sure he’s promoting his fairly new CD and movie, which looks fantastic if the previews are any indication! Loved him as Ray Charles, btw.

Good times, and how much fun must it be for the Idols?! Happy, happy Tuesday, everybody!

Ah, so that’s what that “Foxx” tweet meant. Out pimping “The Soloist”? When I think Jazz / Standards & Rat Pack I don’t think Jamie Foxx. When I think Jamie Foxx I first think of ragging on Miley Cyrus. Then acting / comedy. Then (afterthought) R&B music.

Color me…not very impressed.

It’s nigh impossible to have mentoring time with two songs unless they 1) cut commercials or 2) muzzle the judges (numbered scorecards, anyone?). *Maybe* there will be a general mentor session shown rather than the mini-packages?

Two songs over Jamie Foxx please. Or some duets & trios.

Did anyone notice how the hosts complimented Kris and after a 1 second awkward pause, Paula continues to Allison. It’s obvious that Paula favors Adam and Danny just because of vocal talent alone. But I think they forget the fans don’t use vocal ability alone as their gauge to vote.

If the show is only an hour, I guess they will have time for only 1 song??? There are 4 judges, plus we will go back to having the video packages. I was really hoping for 2 songs from each of them. They will only have 1 chance to impress now. The pressure is definitely on!! That was a great interview by the way with Paula.

…and again, Jamie Foxx’s mentoring won’t create time constraints. An extra blabbermouth judge will.

Neil Diamond Week – Top 5, we got 10 songs, mentoring video, last-minute producer changes, and Paula’s major snafu, all within an hour.

Paula’s Twitter says she’s going to be on Good Day LA this morning, if anyone in the area wants to try to catch that.

So they just went to the 1 song, since the AI site had them singing 2 songs all week. Do the Idols have to pick the one they want to sing, I’m sure they have been practicing 2. Or do the EVIL Producers pick the song, thus minipulating the show.AGAIN.!

But then again, it would have been better that someone in the Rat Pack should have done the mentoring.

The Rat Pack is DEAD. All of them died years ago.

The Forum is alive with complaints that the contestants have been rehearsing TWO songs but were cut to one song to make room for Jamie Foxx. Top 5 has been 2 songs with the exception of season 6 when Idol Gives Back week had no elimination.

I personally, am sick to death of mentors…..and the judges deciding that what they say about the singers is more important than the singing.

Good contestants this year…lousy production values!

UGG! Of all the mentors…. When will this guy just go away? Please tell me he won’t do his uber lame Ray Charles impersonation that did not deserve a freakin Oscar. I. Can’t. Stand. Jamie. Foxx. What? Like you’ve never been irrationally bugged by a celebrity before? Well, now you know my silly pet peeve.

They’re only doing one song? How would this make room for Jamie Annoying Foxx? Is he getting a lot of face time in the mentoring sessions or something. Of COURSE he is. Arrrg. If that’s true, I wonder when that was sprung on the kids…before or after they started rehearsing. Point being, strategy would be different if you knew you were only doing one tune from jump.

Well then, maybe The Brat Pack. Theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re available.

LOL! I think I’d prefer Judd Nelson over Jamie Annoying Foxx. He could come as Bender from The Breakfast Club and get in Danny’s face and call him a dweebazoid, and then share his stash with all the singers and they sit around and confess embarrasing shit or something.

The Rat Pack is DEAD. All of them died years ago.

Well then, maybe The Brat Pack. They’re available.

The Forum is alive with complaints that the contestants have been rehearsing TWO songs but were cut to one song to make room for Jamie Foxx.

Where does this info come from, though?

So it’s been confirmed that it’s only 1 song now?

The 2 songs back-to-back with 1 set of critique could have worked. Now with Foxx, I’m not too sure. What’s with the commercial breaks and all.

Jamie Foxx should be a kick. I wonder if that means he’s performing tomorrow? Him singing “Blame It” will cause as much cognitive dissonance for Idol viewers as Flo Rida and the strippers did the other week. Though he could always get Ron Howard to stand on stage and recreate his gansta face from the video! Heh.

I do like Jamie Foxx though, Miley incident and all. He did start out as a raunchy stand up comedian, people forget his debut into public conciousness was on In Living Color. Fun times.

So ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been confirmed that ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s only 1 song now?

Nope. Not confirmed yet.

Paula didn’t say much on Good Day, basically that she picked the same final two as Simon weeks ago and not Simon…blah blah. (Adam and Croakey) and just blathering on with Jillian about how Simon is into her this year.

Color me disappointed with Jamie Foxx and ONE song per Adam, I mean the contestants.

The 2 songs back-to-back with 1 set of critique could have worked.

Well, that at least has to be better than last year LOL. Perhaps the producers are afraid that Paula will go off script again. Actually, last year’s method might still work. All the intern who typically writes Paula’s critiques would have to do, is slip in some “Okay, STOP Talking Here” notes.

ETA: I like Jamie Foxx, so I’m not annoyed with his appearance at all. I usually find him to be hilarious, and I think he’s very talented.

Also, yes snuffles, we never can be sure when Paula has all of her facts straight.

Since Paula tends to get CONFUSED easily, I’ll wait for an OFFICIAL confirmation of tonight’s episode.

Not confirmed…it’s just what’s driving the Forums crazy at the moment.

I wonder why Jamie Foxx isn’t performing tomorrow night instead of Natalie Cole. Or both of them?!

“Since Paula tends to get CONFUSED easily…”

On the other hand, Paula can see the future – so don’t discount her predictions!

Really, Idol! Jamie Foxx?? Really?? I mean the list of people that could mentor this:
Linda Ronstadt
Michael Feinstein
Michael Buble
Diana Krall
Norah Jones
Queen Latifah
Tony Bennett
Nancy Lamont
Bette Midler
Rufus Wainwright

But then, none of them have a movie to push.

à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦and again, Jamie Foxxà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mentoring wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t create time constraints. An extra blabbermouth judge will.

Neil Diamond Week – Top 5, we got 10 songs, mentoring video, last-minute producer changes, and Paulaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s major snafu, all within an hour.

I wonder if she’ll attempt to top that blunder tonight. I would suggest that Simon speak on behalf of all of the judges tonight, but he seems to be more than a little off of his game this year. “Gokey” is one of the best singers left … really??? I’m beginning to wonder if Simon is losing his hearing.

He did start out as a raunchy stand up comedian, people forget his debut into public conciousness was on In Living Color. Fun times.

Oh, I didn’t forget. He wasn’t funny. Now Homey Da Clown, that was funny.

[/random anti-Jamie Foxx ranting]

Honestly, I would like Michael Buble to have mentored. He seems more likeable to me than Jamie Foxx. And yeah, all of the remaining are pretty good. I won’t be shocked really if someone other than Adam or Gokey wins the competition.

Jumpstart, thanks for the laugh! I’ve been wondering what is going on with Simon.

MJ thanks for the clear, and accurate piece on Pauls’s AM interview.

Color me disappointed with Jamie Foxx and ONE song per Adam, I mean the contestants.

Color me the same, now, even after all my gushing on Foxx. LOL I do love him, but not at the expense of a second Lambert diddy. What can I say? Heh.

IDOL changed it form 2songs too the top 5 takes on songs from the rat pack.So it must be 1 song if they changed that on there site.

I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t forget. He wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t funny. But loved me some Homey Da Clown.

:laugh_tb: That wasn’t directed at you. That was a general statement about he reaction to his Miley comments, some of whom were of the “I don’t believe Jamie Foxx would do that!” variety. The whole time I was kinda like – really dude? He used to do way worse. LOL. Not that picking on Miley was a good thing, but it sure wasn’t out of character.

You may feel free to hate Mr. Foxx as you see fit. :thumbup_tb:

Jamie Foxx lost a fan with me when he stooped to making fun of a 16 year old girl’s physical appearance. He’s an ass.

I want two songs from each Idol and Jamie to crawl back in his hole.

IDOL changed it form 2songs too the top 5 takes on songs from the rat pack.So it must be 1 song if they changed that on there site.

I don’t consider that confirmation.

OK how about this.They need the xtra time so they can have jamie call miley on tv and say im sorry.So the movie wont flop.

i like the mentors…jamie foxx is kind of a douche bag though and really has nothing to do with the rat pack…….the best choice for mentor this week would have been Wayne Newton..he at least toured with the rat pack and could give some Sinatra stories while mentoring

I’m guessing that the producers are still scrambling this morning trying to change, juggle and finalize everything.

edit: belongs in the headlines thread

IDOL changed it form 2songs too the top 5 takes on songs from the rat pack.So it must be 1 song if they changed that on there site.

I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t consider that confirmation.

Me either, especially if it used to only say “…perform 2 songs” without reference to the theme, and then changed it to “…take on songs from the Rat Pack.” Is that what happened?

It’s an interesting change, but is it the first time the official site announced the theme? If so, that’s not a biggie to me.

Or, I’m just wishfully thinking cuz I want two songs. That’s entirely possible too. LOL

I don’t want a freaking five song show with a bunch of damn filler. Make the silly ass judges be brief and concise and allow the contestants to sing the two freaking songs we expect. This will piss me off to know end. This is the perfect genre for two songs. Arrrrrgh x 10.

That wasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t directed at you.

Oh I know tina. You and me, we tight. I just couldn’t resist the extra Foxx diss. It’s a sickness, really. It’s kinda like the way Danny and the dead wife thing bugs peeps. Between the movie Ray and the Oscars and Goldigger being a hit, there was a time I couldn’t turn on the TV without Jamie Foxx pimping Ray Charles’s memory. My eye starts to twitch just thinking about it. :mad1_ee:

And how exactly does Jamie Foxx relate to rat pack week? dnw. kthxbai

Jamie Foxx starred as Ray Charles in the biopic…he is a piano player and singer and has often sung standards in life performances. Plus, I’m guessing that it is major movie pimpage for The Soloist. I personally like Jamie Foxx. I think his early stand-up was hilarious. And his ‘ugly girl’ routine on In Living Color was great. He’s a very talented pianist and singer in my opinion. I’m sure the contestants will love him. It’s kind of fun to have someone contemporary to hang with the contestants. I think it will be a fun night.
Wish we could get confirmation on the 1-2 songs! I’m thinking 1. Usually Ryan says “Next week, the contestants will be singing two songs”….I remember it to always be kind of a big deal. No?

Eh, maybe I’m the only one, but I wouldn’t mind if it was just one song per contestant. Usually when they do 2 songs only one is good and the other kinda sucks or it’s just meh!
The problem is that we’d probably see the judges talk even more… and yeah, I’d rather see the contestants sing. But if it’s just 1 song, it won’t bother me.

Harry Connick Jr. is the only mentor they should have had. Jamie Foxx just doesn’t cut it. He didn’t play Sammy Davis Jr.. He couldn’t hold Sammy’s jock strap.

Aww, I wish they would have Michael Buble back to given another drunken-ass guest performance. He was hilarious. I don’t have any problem with Jamie.

I don’t mind if they only sing one song, but maybe they could give them two and a half minutes or something. I really don’t want to hear Matt or Danny sing twice anyway.

And how exactly does Jamie Foxx relate to rat pack week?

Thoughts:

1) The Soloist had a very modest opening last weekend, so I’m sure Foxx is hoping to remind people he has a movie out.

2) The PR train is working to recover after Miley-gate…and where better to try to regain some goodwill than arguably the most watched “family” show on tv. (Flo Rida not withstanding.)

3) Jamie’s co-star in The Solist is Robert Downey Jr. This has nothing to do with anything, except that Gokey has that whole resemblance thing going on. And if there’s anything better than ONE Gokey on my tv, it’s TWO almost-Gokeys*. Heck, maybe he can even mention something about RDJr stealing his look or something!

*sarcasm.

kmh303, aka Kylene

Damn, I’d much rather have had Michael Buble/Harry Connick Jr mentor this theme. Jamie Foxx is talented, I suppose, but he did NOT deserve the Oscar for Ray. I’m still bitter about that so I really don’t care to watch him run his mouth on Idol (for no apparent reason/connection), haha.

And they better still be performing two songs!

From People.com:

Oh. Snap. Jamie Foxx had some choice words for Miley Cyrus on his weekend Sirius radio show The Foxxhole.

That’s not the only piece of advice the Oscar winner handed down to the Disney powerhouse. Foxx also suggested that Cyrus “make a sex tape and grow up.”

Nice.

MrRJ You are right on both counts, but hey, Jamie Foxx can really sing. As a vocalist he’s closer in age and has more ability than the other “young” mentor I can think of, Gwen Stefani.

Jamie Fox couldn’t hold Sammy’s jock, but I’m sure Jamie would agree, considering that Gregory Hines kissed Sammy’s shoes in front of God and everyone to make the same point.

I think Jamie Foxx will be great– he can be douchey sometimes, but for the most part I enjoy him. He’s hilarious, super talented and the new movie looks great (RDJ!). His new song and video, however… well, it was fun seeing his movie star buddies Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, and Ron Howard cameo, but the video and song themselves were LAME. I liked it better when he was singing with Kanye, (ain’t saying she a gold digger-love it) his new music is not my thang. I missed the pre-performance videos last week. I hope they bring it back. I also REALLY hope we get 2 songs. Haha, I want everything– I just hope they cut off the judges. It should be about the contestants.

i’m fairly certain jamie foxx cares about no one but himself. i find him arrogant, rude and obnoxious. horrible mentor decision. playing an extraordinarily talented musician in a movie does not make you one. “blame it on the alcohol” is one of the worst songs i’ve ever heard. he is a horrible mentor choice.

i can honestly say he is “least favorite celebrity”. i cannot stand this man.

the best choice for mentor this week would have been Wayne Newton..

Agree, but he’s not “relevant.”

Harry Connick would have been ideal b/c he’s a good speaker and is has some great CDs of standards. He could actually mentor the kids on phrasing and otherwise approaching the material fresh . . . if mentoring had anything to do with how they pick the mentors. Michael Buble hasn’t exactly been selling the CDs in the past couple of years.

I think Jamie Foxx did deserve the Oscar for Ray–he was incredible in that. Otherwise, though, he is kind of a dick. And I don’t see the connection to the Rat Pack at all.

Jamie Foxx is over-impressed with himself. We do not NEED him. An actual SINGER like Harry Connick would have been more appropriate, but I guess he has no lame movie to promote. I’m hoping against hope that they didn’t cut the seond song. I was really looking forward to this theme.

Well, I’m gonna go with “surprise mentor” meaning “last minute.” Maybe someone else dropped out. Who knows? And, has there ever really been a mentor who wasn’t promoting something, or performing at the results show…or something? Maybe one, two?

I think he’ll be a decent mentor, the Miley thing notwithstanding.

Matt has to do “Georgia On My Mind” now.

Honestly, I would like Michael Buble to have mentored.

Didn’t Michael Buble show up drunk on results night one season to fill in for another guest performer who took sick? Tony Bennett maybe? Did I dream that, LOL? :drunk_tb:

I can’t stand Jamie Foxx…he is so into himself. He thinks because he won an damn Oscar he is some hot shit…I bet he’ll be talking about himself and not really helping these kids.

Why pick him to mentor..it is such an odd choice….the perfect mentor would have been Natalie Cole…especially since she is performing tomorrow.

I hate how Idol has become so into mentors who have movies/cds coming out…They should stop with these big name mentors and get these kids studio producers and song writers to mentor them…you know the people who make these songs possible. Teach these kids the basic of showman ship and so forth….Ahhhh..I’m just pissed that Idol don’t think about these kids but about ratings with these big name mentors…

Ok..end of VENT…lol

We dream a lot of stuff on American Idol. so does Pauler.

How is Jaime Foxx relevant for this?? I’m so bummed. I feel like my expectations for a fun, exciting Idol night have just been crapped on! Why? I… can….not….stand…..him!

How is he Big Band? He’s an actor, singer, comedian, entertainer and I give him tons of props for what he’s accomplished. But! He’s an arrogant blowhard!!!!!! I’m at least somewhat mollified by the fact that others (annlovesadam) have the same reaction to him.

Let’s make a poll! How many times will Jaime Foxx promote himself tonight??
I say (with editing) at least 3 times.

This choice is at least as stupid as Quentin Tarantino.

Damn. Was hoping this rant would make me feel better.

It didn’t

Didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t Michael Buble show up drunk on results night one season to fill in for another guest performer who took sick? Tony Bennett maybe? Did I dream that, LOL?

I don’t know that he was drunk but he did make a snarky joke about voting for Antonella that might not have gone over well with TPTB.
I ditto on the Harry Connick Jr sentiment. He’s got a lot more to offer them musically than Jamie Foxx-ray-charles-impersonator-using-the-autotune-kanye-wannabe.

If they had to get someone from The Soloist, couldn’t it have been Robert Downey Awesome?

Harry Connick would have been ideal b/c heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a good speaker and is has some great CDs of standards. He could actually mentor the kids on phrasing and otherwise approaching the material fresh . . .

Precisely. Sinatra’s claim to fame when he started with Dorsey was the way he could interpret a song’s lyrics. His ability with a song set him apart from all the other singers out there. That is why he became “Chairman of the Board.” If the intent is to honor that era and they felt a need for a mentor, it would make sense to have someone on who has actually studied the nuances of those singers and what set them apart – besides the booze and broads. That part Jamie Foxx seems to have down but even though I think he has a decent voice, he is NO vocal stylist ala the Rat Pack!

I really hope it is going to be two songs. Why is it so damn hard for the producers to figure out that the KIDS are what people tune in to see? It just amazes me how they obviously forget that every season.

I think Jamie Foxx did deserve the Oscar for Rayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’he was incredible in that.

I agree. Unless I’m mis-recalling, he’s a great pianist BECAUSE of “Ray,” as he learned to play for the movie. That’s some killer acting, I tell ya, and tremendous talent and hard work to boot.

Everyone says stupid shit now and again. (Ahem!)

ETA: He’s definitely a polarizing dude, so for that alone, he belongs in this season. Heh!

I love Jamie Foxx…I’m sure he’ll be a great mentor!

Man, I cannot stand Jamie Foxx, who is extremely overrated. And are there no female performers who could have sufficed? Diana Krall? Dianne Reeves?

Jamie Foxx is an asshat, I don’t want to see him on Idol…….ugh.
So really from what Paula is saying Adam could just sit in the audience for the next couple of weeks and watch while they pick his competitor in the final LOL

Question: has anybody bothered to investigate how much Fox may have invested in these upcoming releases? Featuring former Idols is a no-brainer; more money for 19E. But someone check on who stands to make the most out of Tarantino’s new movie Inglorious Basterds, or The Soloist.

Man, I cannot stand Jamie Foxx, who is extremely overrated. And are there no female performers who could have sufficed? Diana Krall? Dianne Reeves?

Right On! I’m with you on that!
I would rather just see Susan Boyle on the show. I’m sure Simon would love to make his new find an international hit.
Who knows…if the rumors posted

Here

are to be believe we may just see her on the show.

My question is why not find someone who actually spend their life actually doing “rat pack” songs and making a career of it. Not someone who thinks they can sing just because they have the backing since they are an actor with money.

Aw. American Idol….you have spread a most infectious disease:
The Whine Flu.

I think I recall an interview where Jamie Foxx said his grandma wouldn’t let him go out to play until he had practiced the piano every day when he was a child. I liked him in Ray but I think he became really full of himself as a result of that success.

Oh my. I’ve always thought I was an island of :tongue2_tb: in a sea of Jamie Foxx loving cuz he seems to keep making movies and albums. I think I found my soulmates, y’all. Group hug. :laugh_tb:

I also wish they would invite someone with a long(er) Standing appreciation of, and experience in, recording these sorts of standards. Jaime Foxx is a talented guy, albeit one with foot-in-mouth disease, but enough already with the non-vocalist mentors this year. Sheesh!

FWIW, I think Lulu is still one of my favorite mentors. Bon Jovi was also excellent.

Aw. American Idolà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.you have spread a most infectious disease:
The Whine Flu.

:clap_tb: That’s funny!!!

Ha! Ruby Slippers…that was funny.

I love me some Harry Connick…good call with that suggestion people!

Oh god if Susan Boyle turned up on Idol they would really be scraping the barrel (I’m presuming that’s Ryan having a joke) .. I’m totally sick of hearing about her .. you think she’s over hyped i the US, you want to be here in the UK, she’s bl**dy everywhere. She can sing, but no better than a lot of singers you find in local choral societies and amateur dramatic groups .. her hype is totally about her looks rather than her voice …blahhhhhhhhh

Anyway .. I’ve so got my fingers crossed for two songs tonight for each contestant … although I realise that that may be unlikely. … ah well

Yeah, I’m pretty sure he played the piano long before he got the role in Ray. I’m much more impressed by Joaquin Phoenix in Walk the Line…he learned how to sing for the role, including how to train his voice to hit the low octave. And he actually sang in the movie, while Jamie Foxx did not. I think the measure of his acting chops comes in the fact that he’s done literally nothing since he won for Ray, haha. Oh well, as long as he refrains from saying “I” and “me” as every other word tonight, I guess we’ll be alright.

Pretty indifferent to Jamie Fox being a mentor-he won’t be any worse than homophobic-in-the-closet-gay Randy Travis. Loved him in Ray and in Collateral with Tom Cruise. I, too, wouid have preferred Harry Connick, or better yet Tony Bennet…but Wayne Newton-yuck! Won’t be the first time some celebrity has put his/her foot in their mouth…nor the last. At least he is a younger mentor than those they usually have.

What I am effin annoyed at is if Adam-uh I mean the contestants- don’t get 2 songs!

This is one of my fave theme nights! Curses!

I guess this maybe the confirmation we have been waiting for – lifted from the official AI site – calendar:

I’m sure the families with young children who watch Idol will be super excited that the man who s rudely dissed Miley is mentoring, /sarcasm

What is he going to say? “Here, this is how you use an autotuner. See, no talent required!”

ETA: Thanks for posting that, Madamimadam. Argh. I was so hoping for another Paulagate.

It’s funny that there’s a few boards where people are posting that Paula said they are only singing one song during her interview on mj’s site!

I didn’t hear Paula say that anywhere, but maybe I missed it. So now the rumor is going around and around.

Anybody being mj’s spoiler tonight???? Pretty please?

Way to mess things up show. grrr. First off, we don’t get two songs from the contestants. I was really looking forward to some Muse-d up version of Feeling Good from Adam, who could than calm the purists with a totally straightforward rendition of something like My Funny Valentine, and in his middle register to really mix things up.

But instead we get Jamie Foxx, who is a jerk and only nominally associated with music, and certainly not with the Rat Packer type of music. Tony Bennett, or Harry Connick Jr. would have been much better choices. Especially the Harry one as he would be new, seems nice, and knows his way around riffing. Tony has done it before, but than so has Smokey. Or maybe someone like Diane Krall, okay kind of stretch for the more misogynistic Rat Pack era/mentality, but at least she is a current Jazz singer. And she seems cool.

Way to harsh my two song mellow, Fox. And with Foxx. grrr.

oh pooh …. if that does mean literally just 5 performances then I hope that the time is spent tonight on those 5 performances making them longer and not wasted on pointless filler waffle from the judges and the pre performance VTs

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m much more impressed by Joaquin Phoenix in Walk the Lineà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦he learned how to sing for the role, including how to train his voice to hit the low octave

Shut up! My thoughts exactly. Joaquin didn’t immitate Cash but rather embodied his spirit, put in the time to portray a fully fleshed out flim character who happened to be based on a real life person, while Jamie Foxx’s performance was barely a step above an impersonation. Yet, who has the Oscar? Meh. Annnnd now I’m spent.

ETA: I agree that Jamie Cullum would have been a stellar mentor.

Great interview Paula! Paula will choreograph their videos? I think she did a great job on the group number last week (although choreographing Danny will need more help than just Paula!)

Only 5 songs? Boo.

definitely, as someone here noted, Foxx “is out pimping” his latest movie, “The Soloist.”

it’s all about cross-marketing, babies! i can’t imagine that without a movie to push Mr. Foxx would spend two minutes with an Idol contestant.

Yup, Jamie Cullen or Michael Buble or Diana Krall — they’d have been superb mentors. Check out Diana’s wonderful “Fly Me to the Moon” performance here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVCgf6_M7i4

I love jazz, (along with lotsa other music) and let me tell ya if these kids gum it all up with gimmicky vocalisms etc. instead of playing it sweetly “cool,” it will be a hot mess.

This could be Kris’s breakthrough week — he’s inherently calm, collected and cool, plus he can swing. Go for it, Kris!

2 songs from each of the kids >>>>>>>>> lame ass, no actual connection to Rat Pack “mentor” Jamie Foxx. Booo. Oh, and I guess we get to hear his irritating “a-a-a-a-a-alcohol” song too at some point. blech.

Great. 5 shorts songs and filler.

I know this will do nothing to effect tonights show, but what is the best way to let Idol/Fox know how dissapointed we are with this change?

Only five finalists left and yet the producer still try to pimping a Mentor more??? If Idol only got one hour in top 5 performance, its better with 2 songs for each finalists, no mentor and no video filler and less judges comments.

Lets the finalists sing! They are what we waiting for in performance day and not some mentor with an agenda. (aka promoting their stuff) Who care about that?

Random thoughts after reading all these quickly…

- Like Jamie Foxx but would prefer 2 songs. Or 1 longer song each. Or at least 2 from Adam

- Jamie certainly did not use the best form, but I kind of agree Myley should be shot down (figuratively, of course)

- agree there could have been a better mentor but 1) we always complain about old, non-current mentors, we should not complain much when we get one and 2) unfortunately the only way to get a top celebrity to mentor is if they have something out to promote. AI is big, but not big enough for top people to go “for free”

- please STOP saying Go-key looks like RDJ… RDJ is at the top of my sexiest men alive list… it makes me cringe to see him associated with that guy. I really don’t see it!!!

- how many think the judges are still supporting Danny (vs Kris) because they cannot admit they have been wrong twice (the other being Lil)??

pissed about 1 song each. that is all.

God help me, but bring back Nigel Lythgoe!

I’m really bummed we’re only get one song per contestant. Boo.

Seriously? Between the lip synching and the cutting back on the number of performances this year, I predict Season 9 will have no live singing whatsoever.

Good Lord, they’re clearly trying to kill this show. :furious_tb:

Wow…. I’m shocked at all the Jamie Foxx hate. lol

Canadian Idol has four judges, always have had four, and they still are able to do two songs per idol on Top 5 night. Maybe they have a 90 minute show? Can’t remember.

i agree with who ever said Tony Bennett…he’s got the rat pack charm…wayne newton is cool too…they all toured together

and yeah Danny Gokey does not look like RDJ…he does however look like the little kid from Jerry Maguire

Aw. American Idolà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.you have spread a most infectious disease:
The Whine Flu.

:lol_tb: Word!

Shut up! My thoughts exactly. Joaquin didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t immitate Cash but rather embodied his spirit, put in the time to portray a fully fleshed out flim character who happened to be based on a real life person, while Jamie Foxxà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance was barely a step above an impersonation. Yet, who has the Oscar? Meh. Annnnd now Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m spent.

LMAO, at first I thought I was going to catch hell but then I kept reading. I couldn’t agree more with your comments!

Only one performance each. This is ridiculous…what happened to spending more time on the singers? They’ll just use the extra time to show more GD commercials. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

LOL! You’d think Jamie Foxx was about to become the 5th judge, or something.

I’d rather see the kids do two performances. Maybe I’ll watch MJ’s videos and skip the show. I don’t have a dvr so can’t control everything that easily. When I watch live, I leave the room when the judges spew their drivel. I truly don’t care what they think. I like what I like for the reasons I like it and don’t even need them to tell me what I should or shouldn’t like. So yeah, I have an issue with watching an hour show for approximately 7 1/2 minutes of performance. My time is more valuable than that. Thanks, MJ, for posting all the performance videos!

Gotta agree with ettacandy!!! Bring back Nigel!!! This year has been a production disaster. I’m so bummed. I was looking forward to 2 songs all week.

hey y’all

sy smith(back-up singer) of ai is tweeting & said this:

At Idol rehearsal. Remaining contestants starting to seem very comfortable working the stage! Adam definitely has raised the bar… nice!

how sweet!

Still hoping that AI calendar’s wording shouldnt be taken too literal. It would be confusing to say “after ten performances” as it would make it seem that it was a top ten result show…..i know, i should just give it up, but it seems cruel to waste a full hour on the judges, ryan’s lame “going no where” banter, and the egotistical Foxx.

littlestd, who was right last week, posted in the “what should they sing” thread that Kris is singing one song and it’s “The Way You Look Tonight”.

I love that song and it was one of my picks for Kris — hope that spoiler is true!

After the disaster that was last year’s top 5 week, I think it’s a good thing they are dialing it back. Good way to avoid another Paulergate.
And the addition of the fourth judge this year would have just exacerbated the problem.

Wowà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m shocked at all the Jamie Foxx hate. lol

I am too…it’s pretty OTT. LOL It’s no big deal…most of the mentors do jack shit anyway, Jamie has a movie to promote so he is there. So he bad mouthed Myley…wasn’t she the one who did those sorta sexy semi-nude photos? Well.

I really could give a shiot who is the mentor…we see them for a hot sec and they spend so little time with the contestants. What concerns me is there may not be two songs GRRRRRRR

regarding Gokey looking like Robert Downey Jr…there was a side shot I saw of Danny- where I swear he looked so much like RDJ…he really did. I was taken aback because I love RDJ despite his fuck ups with drugs and cannot stand Gokey…but hey…they do look very similar to each other.

Okay, I was the one who doubted LittleD last week…and I was totally wrong. And I apologize to him for that.

HOWEVER…just one question: why has his named changed from LittleD to LittlestD? People said “too bad littleD won’t be back” and then he shows up…as littestD… strange.

I hope you totally prove my suspicions wrong, LittleD, because I LOVE that song and want it to be true!!!

Aw. American Idolà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.you have spread a most infectious disease:
The Whine Flu.

How did I mis this! :lol_tb: :lol_tb: :lol_tb:

In my case, my hate for Foxx comes from the fact that I follow Awards Season. If you agree with me, that’s really all I need to say, haha.

As far as the Kris spoiler: YESSS, that’s what I want him to sing! I really hope that person is right again this week.

I’m okay with being in the minority of people who actually like Jamie Foxx. Believe it or not, I actually think he has a really good voice. Obviously, I’m a complete loon.

And, I can’t knock him for making fun of Miley’s gums – I do that nearly every I time I see her. Those things are all I can look at anytime she’s on tv. They’re freaking huge.

I’m also okay with them only singing one song. It’s a little disappointing not to get to see what Kris & Adam would done with 2 choices. But, the bright side is, it decreases the odds that I have to listen to Matt’s falshitto 2 times or watch Gokey air-hump more than once.

So, I’m still looking forward to the show.

Ug, I wanted two songs. This show better be great tonight. I want spoilers.

I don’t mind Jamie Foxx himself, but rather the decision to have him mentor and pimp his movie instead of having 2 songs from each contestant. So in other words, it’s actually TPTB I hate, as usual

Even Quentin, who I do enjoy, was of questionable use as a mentor on his night. But we didn’t have to sacrifice actual show content to fit him on the show, we were getting one song from each anyway.

eta: oh wait, I forgot about the stupid 2-judge critiques for Movie Week. Never mind (and they didn’t even name the movie he’s working on, lol)

Who wants to bet they still go over the allotted hour? Those judges just don’t know when to stfu!

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m also okay with them only singing one song. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a little disappointing not to get to see what Kris & Adam would done with 2 choices. But, the bright side is, it decreases the odds that I have to listen to Mattà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s falshitto 2 times or watch Gokey air-hump more than once.

:lol_tb: Way to focus on the positives!

Okay, so all you Adam fans you can take this for what it’s worth, but on Twitter I wrote Syberspace (the back-up singer) and said ” I know you can’t give us the song choice, but do you like Adam’s this week?”

And she replied: “Yep. I like it a lot.”

So no clues, but at least she likes it.

Tweet… tweet… tweet…

@Syberspace I know you can’t tell us song choice, but do you like Adam’s this week?

Sy’s answer: @OhWhatAWorld14 Yep. I like it a lot.
41 minutes ago from web in reply to OhWhatAWorld14

I thinkETH I know the jamie foxx/ai connection….I once saw on my TV screen foxx stick his tongue in Fantasia’s(3rd Idol) mouth ….my reCall amazes me!!!!

OOOPS – just saw that OhWhatAWorld14 posted it herself!!!!

In my case, my hate for Foxx comes from the fact that I follow Awards Season.

Ditto. And the fact that his 15 should have been up a lonnnng time ago. I could give a rat’s ass what he said about Miley TBH, though I’m not shocked to discover he has added talking out of his ass to his long list of enviable *cough* talents.

I hope that Kris spoiler is right. Great tune, he should do well with that. Here’s Fred singing it to Ginger, sigh.

Think about it. 10 songs, >2 minutes each, that’s less than 20 minutes.
Maybe even just 15 minutes.
Add a reasonable amount of talk time, voting numbers time, let’s say another huge 15 minutes.
That leaves another 25-30 minutes for commercials and extra talk time. Are you telling me they can’t squeeze THAT into an hour????
Cut the 4th judge already. GRRR is right. :annoyed_tb:

Jamie certainly did not use the best form, but I kind of agree Myley should be shot down (figuratively, of course)

I’ll add this to the compiling evidence that I’m out of touch. What happened between between Miley and Jamie?

I hope that Kris spoiler is right. Great tune, he should do well with that. Hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Fred singing it to Ginger, sigh.

That Fred/Ginger scene is love.

Impeccable song choice from Kris, if it’s true.

Really? One performance and the rest filler? What I have always liked about the two performances was the chance for the contestants to show some range, to sing for the length of 3 minutes instead of 90 seconds, and to receive a chance to recover from a poor performance and show their mettle. Oh well.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll add this to the compiling evidence that Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m out of touch. What happened between between Miley and Jamie?

No worries. I didn’t know either. Pfft! Someone quoted it in this thread though. Some crap he said on his Sirius radio show. (Who knew he had one?) He probably didn’t think anyone was listening. lol

A “surprise” mentor costing us our second song from the Top 5?! And it’s that overrated sack of shit Jamie Foxx?! Seriously, show? What a crock. I think this may finally be the point where I revert to just watching the clips here of my three favorites. Seeing them sing for 90 seconds each isn’t even worth the effort of fast-forwarding through all the other pointless garbage.

If all were right with the world we would get the whole Itunes version, length and all. Oh well, an old lady can dream. I’d even watch Danny for 2 and a half minutes if I could get that much of Adam, Kris, and Allison in return. Sorry, Matt, you are a nice kid but I can’t seem to connect with ya (at least you don’t get my Danny dislike).

No worries. I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know either. Pfft! Someone quoted it in this thread though. Some crap he said on his Sirius radio show.

I just scrolled up and found it thanks! It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to me. But maybe there was more to it than what I read.

That sucks big time if they are only singing one freaking song. That just ruined the whole tradition of the top 5 singing two songs. I hate the new producers in charge, they should be fired. Kara needs to go with them. Bring Nigel back already!!!!!!!!!! All these changes this year has really screwed up the whole idol experience, lol. They would of had better girls if they would of stuck with last years format. What is up with Jamie Foxx mentoring, yeah he is a likeable guy but he shouldn’t be the first one to call on to mentor standards night. I would of loved to see Buble or Cullum mentor. If time was the issue they should of made the show two hours so they didn’t have to rush. Top 5 is a big deal and they should treat the show that way. A two hour show would give them plenty of time to do everything. I am soooooooooo disappointed, they better not do this next week with 4 contestants. I could careless what Kara has to say. She talks tooooooo much. Randy is at least concise. It’s going to suck tonight unless by some miracle they change it back to having two songs and extending the show to two hours or even 1.5 hours. I was so looking forward to tonight.

So is Obama making a speech tomorrow night? I read something about that in he paper a few days ago.

I just got off the phone with my mother and she said something that I never thought about…

She said ” why is it that AI will pay money for 2hrs time slot for stupid auditions, but yet when the real show start they go to 1hr?…what they should do is have only 1hr shows for the auditions, 1 1/2 hr for Hollywood week, then 2hrs for the Top 12 shows”.

She also said: “AI makes the most money for FOX that they should schedule the other shows around AI time slots. That AI produces and judges keep telling us that its a signing contest, yet its more talking and BS than singing…they need to give the contestant more time to sing, since thats what they signed up for”

I totally agree with her. Last week the performances all seemed so short…especially Adams. They need to get rid of Kara, get Nigel back, and cut out the long winded intro from Ryan (even though I like it and like him as well).

Yea he is, but Fox will not air it…AI will air on its regular schedule.
ABC, CBS, NBC will all have President Obama speech.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m okay with being in the minority of people who actually like Jamie Foxx. Believe it or not, I actually think he has a really good voice. Obviously, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m a complete loon.

He does have a good voice. I actually have his song from a few years ago, “Slow Jams”, on my ipod. Miley? Oh hell no.

He’s as good of an actor as most movie stars today.

I just don’t want his appearance to interfere with Adam singing 2 songs…it’s fine for me all of the others sing 1- yeah fuck it! I am all about the Adam.

Man Foxx is being dissed for dissing Miley Cryus?

He is a comedian folks, that is what comedians do, they insult people and we laugh because they are saying what we are thinking and wish we could say but haven’t got the guts to say. Well those of us who aren’t in line for sainthood.

Besides Miley is hardly someone who never makes a faux pas. Has she apologized to the Asian community yet?

I’m not one to defend TPTB from american Idol, but I am almost positive that they were never planning on singing 2 songs. I am friends with a contestant and heard last week that one of them had picked only 1 song. I don’t know how long ago they planned this mentor, but if that is the reason they went to 1 song it was not last second, they knew they were only doing 1 song last week.

My guess is that this has more to do with the judges talking to long than a guest mentor. I agree that at this point it should be a 2 hours show, or at least an hour and a half.

I could care less about Jamie Foxx – I was looking forward to two songs per Idol. It’s a challenge, and it always helps seperate the Idols who are ready to challenge for the title from those who aren’t. Like, in the real world, you might be expected to sing more than one song during a concert?

It’s entertaining. It’s a tradition. I’m bummed.

They really can’t fit ten 90 second performances into an hour show? Pffft.

Very simple reason why no Buble – he doesn’t have a new album to promote.

Mentor = album to sell.

Webber had the Vegas production of Phantom to promote, Quentin, did he have a movie out, I can’t remember.

Now I see someone mentioned Mrs. Elvis Costello, Mr. Costello would be a cool mentor.

I feel bad that the gang prepared 2 songs and had this happen but hey happens in RL all the time. Get used to it when Letterman and Leno run overtime with some guest like Jamie Foxx.

I actually hate 90 second songs – so many songs you cannot do justice to in 90 seconds and I want to know if a person can actually deliver the full length of a song.

BTW – mandalay – Obama is scheduled to give a press conference tomorrow at 8 pm. But Fox has announced that they will be the only major network NOT to carry the conference. Fox will show their regularly scheduled program at 8, whatever that is. So there will be no chance of an overrun into Idol’s 9pm slot.

As for the wisdom of the Fox decision, no comment…..

:clap_tb:

I’ve been reading this stuff today, and I am amazed and quite frankly stunned. We’ve had an old guy that almost nobody knew but those over 40, Frankie whatever his name was. We’ve had Flo-rida, we’ve had QT, who I know does not sing. At least that would be a link as Jamie is a musical artist. Certainly this isn’t about Miley because we have been lambasting that poor child and her BFF Tayllor Swift for months. Hell Miley has less of a link to the show than Jamie. I don’t get it.

Hey Jamie Foxx was in Dreamgirls with Jennifer Hudson – he’d be good for a six degrees of separation game only using Idol rather than Kevin Bacon.

I can hardly believe the mess this show is this season. I’ve seen better production/direction on community access cable shows. And did it just occur to them yesterday that 10 songs would be required this week? Was this a surprise?

So the best solution to the time crunch that they could come up with is to dump five songs and add a “mentor” who’s tenuous connection is that he played a singer in a movie a couple years ago? That’s the BEST they could do? I’ve got an idea: How about making the show LONGER?

What ever happened to the “This is a singing competition” party line? Or is this my naivete showing through?

Thank you for allowing me to rant, MJ. Loved the articles by and about you.

Any chance the kids will get a few more seconds of performance time?

Fox is making a very wise decision.

They are going to get their regular viewers and all the other viewers who are pissed off Obama is preempting their usual Tuesday programming.

It is not like it is his first press conference and it is not like there is anything new beyond swine flu to talk about that you can’t just tune into CNN after Idol and hear discussed to death for 3 hours.

Hmm… I think we should get EIGHT performances
3 By Adam
2 By Allison
2 By Kris
1 By Matt
None by gokey (i want him GONE!!!!)
Here’s how they get 10 perf’s in one hour
10 Minute intro
Perf 1, 2, 3, 4, 5– 7 1/2 minutes
Comments for 1st 5 (plus a psychic bit from paula)- 5 minutes
Next Five Perf’s– 7 1/2 minutes, next five comments- 5 minutes
Advertisments: 20 minutes
Video Packaging: 5 minutes
Total: 60 minutes
YAY!

Oh great….now everyone has griped about Jamie Foxx so much that his new song is showing up in the ads at the top. That was counter-productive!! :laugh_tb:

LOL Spencer – I TOTALLY agree with you!

This means this group will sing 3 fewer songs than most previous seasons. That will make What Not To Sing stats kind of worthless for this group from a comparison standpoint. Especially since the pressure of singing 2 songs is when folks really start to crack. Which I kind of enjoy.

I am glad that Jamie is going to be on the show. I think that he is going to be a good mentor. He is a great pianist, and I do like his singing voice. I think that it’s going to be interesting to see him mentor Matt, especially since Matt is a pianist as well.

I think we should just fire Randy instead of Kara. She makes useful comments that are DIFFERENT each week!! Meanwhile, Randy, he takes 2 freaking minutes to say the same comments each week, you can’t understand a word he says DAWG!!! RUFF RUFF!!
GIVE ME 2 ALLISON SONGS!!!!

Oh greatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.now everyone has griped about Jamie Foxx so much that his new song is showing up in the ads at the top. That was counter-productive!!

LMAO! ironic, no?

Especially since the pressure of singing 2 songs is when folks really start to crack.

This is why they ditched the 2 performances, not Jamie, not the judges, not time. Hokey’s vocal strain is palpable already and they want him in the final so bad they’re willing to alter the entire historical format.

How’s that for a knoll theory, eh? ;-P
