Comments on: Season 7 Redux – Top 20 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/season-7-redux-top-20.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:24:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: idolbeat http://www.mjsbigblog.com/season-7-redux-top-20.htm/comment-page-4/#comment-178337 idolbeat Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:33:05 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/season-7-redux-top-20.htm#comment-178337 I'm late to comment but just wanted to add my thoughts about Alex. Randy thought it was wrong that she went home so early. It was one of the few times where I thought he was spot on. I thought she brought something different to the r&b mix. She just seemed more current than Syesha, funkier than Asia'h and I think, of all the youngsters, didn't know how to play the game. I wish they could bring back one of the eliminated top 24 of 2008 as the wildcard in 2009. She is definitely one who could benefit by a second chance. Maybe if she stays in contact with DA, she might get a shot at singing with him. Based on Crush, I think they could do something real fun together.

It was never meant as a term of endearment. Good luck to you with your recovery. I know it must be difficult and frustrating. eta: Sorry, MJ - I saw your post above. I am definitely not trying to keep the discussion going but wanted to clarify. Feel free to remove this if you see fit. RV65, the people who gave DA that nickname are most definitely NOT fans of his.

(what is VFTW anyway?)...a resulting condition because of his vocal paralysis? Im amazed about how fans would be so involved with their chosen idol and hit on a condition resulting from a physical infection..Im a stage 2 vocal paralysis patient..it has not been easy...I would not wish the same to my worst enemy...people please be nice. so “gaspy” was a take against DA?

Mostly I just want to say how badly they missed the mark on Alex. She's incredible and fresh. The show could have used a little more of her. I also remain pissed at the way they screwed Syesha the entire season. As someone above said, they just didn't like her. Too bad, she can really sing, but then it's not a singing competition, really. I loved Imagine then. I love it now. I don't like the VFTW nicknames. I love snark, and even gentle ribbing, but their names smack of malice to me. Well truthfully, I just can't stomach them, period. I like David Cook that night. Didn't like the 'tude, but I liked him. Danny Noriega was just too purty for that show. And fierce! Was somewhat busy yesterday so I didn’t get to play in this thread.

If anybody is curious about VFTW nicknames, you'll have to go over there and find out for yourselves. Talk about other boards and blogs here is really off topic. And I think what I'm going to do right now is ask that everyone keep their little in-jokes and nicknames from other boards at those boards. The questions that come afterward take the thread off-topic. And what may go down fine on one board may not be so cool on others. I'll be editing the guidelines accordingly.

Since I have someone very close to me with the same condition I did not find it in the least bit funny. The “nickname” they kept all season had to do with the size of DC’s head and not his hair.

I cannot view video on my computer, and I don't have cable service which presents the show. I like reading MJ's comments, too. One thing I was wondering about is did all the contestants stand in line to audition, or were 'special' at the end of the day auditions set up for certain contestants that they knew would go far in the competition?

Some people may have gone forward now that they've discovered web-archived copies of the shows. If you’re watching with the TV reruns, you’re up through Top 16 (Top 8 guys, Top 8 girls, and results).

That is, unless, they are top heavy with highly experienced, possibly professional singers? I doubt I will find someone I adored as much as Jason, or singers like David Cook, David A., or Brooke who brought so much pleasure to my viewing. Season 7 is a hard act to follow.
