  • hi beet! my favorite is the danny gokey guy….i guess i have a thing for robert downey jr which might be why… as for tatiana….ill hold her down while u choke her :)

    • Danny is my fave too! From his very first audition. I was sorry his friend, Jamar, did not make it. I thought that would make an interesting dynamic, “The best friends”…

      I CAN NOT STAND TATIANA! I was stunned to find out she made it. I did not watch the 2nd hour because LOST was on. How disappointed I was to see she made it. ugh, hopefully she goes soon.

      I hope those punks at votefortheworst dont pick her…that would be terrible.

    • i thought I was the only one who thought he looked like robert downey jr! he’s seriously got that going for him. HOT. watch out world. Danny Gokey.

    • i dont think so, my bf said something about going “chris brown” yesterday and i laughed my ass off.
      now, referring to somebody being “rihanna-ed” would be in bad taste. but thats just imho.

  • dany gokey if that’s the guy w the red glasses.. i have only been watching on and off, but i was surprised that gokey’s buddy, the pharrell wannabe, didn’t make it through. i saw him sing the delilah song the other day for the first time and i actually stopped what i was doing and looked up at the tv, and it made me smile. i thought he’d win for sure. o well..

    • I totally agree! They should have kept Danny’s friend and got rid of Tatiana. Ugh. I wanna strangle that girl!

  • don’t worry beet, she will fall on that jewelry abortion that paula gifted tatiana/promoted herself with, slice a main artery and save us the cost, (not to mention the trouble) of flying to hollywood. happy thoughts.

  • My name is Tatiana… hahahaa anyway….. i don’t know who this other one is, but she seems like a bitch. I wonder why you guys hate her. . . i’ll go find out.

  • I would like to send Tatiana the proper undergarments so I don’t have to look at her bellyfat jigglying all over the place in her slinky dresses. Can you say Spanx?? I really liked Danny Gokey’s buddy (they seemed reallyclose), and am surprised he didn’t go through. Hated the location of one of his piercings-the top of the cheek one looked like the teardrops you tattoo on in gang culture. And blind guy-the logistics are gonna be interesting. Is he always gonna go on after the break or is somebody gonna have to lead him out?? They had better be careful with the Norman Gentle dude. He could be this season’s Sanjaya. People might vote him all the way to the top as a joke. He actually has a good voice, but appears about 35. Oh and for some reason I was sorry that Frankie didn’t make it. She was interesting….

  • I can’t believe they let in that guy from the beginning of the ep [and some towards the end] over Jamar.. it reeks of bs.

  • Tatiana must be there for ratings, nobody can stand her and her voice is just aiight. Thought blind guy did awesome once he had his keyboard (why must they always say ‘instrument’?), but I’m bias and all with the whole blindness thing.
    I, too was surprised that Danny’s best friend didn’t make it. I thought he was great.
    I heard somewhere they are gonna bring the wild card back? Not sure if it’s true, though. Maybe it’ll be him?
    I definitely think the guys are much better and far more interesting than the ladies. I haven’t watch a season of AI in years, but I’ll keep watching. Someone has got to knock the shit outta that Tatiana chick. I just can’t see how it wouldn’t happen.

  • I couldn’t believe how many girls they let thru that had long brown hair.
    It was like cookie cutter Paula hair-do’s….over and over and over.

    It was strange to me for some reason.

    and Tatiana-good god-it HAS TO BE for ratings and not much else.
    I feel sorry for whoever gets stuck as her roommate!

    • Yeah that’s so true about the hair. I can’t even tell all those brunette, tousled-hair, banged girls apart.

      Why would the put Tatiana in for the ratings? Everyone hates her. I have never seen a more annoying individual in all my life!

  • OMG. I will totally come with you to get rid of Tatiana. That girl has plagued me since her first audition in that horrible dress with that horrible laugh. I can’t believe they picked her over some of the other guys and girls on the show. I am a firm believer that they choose some over others just for ratings — like Norman Gentle. I like the guy but c’mon, Danny’s best buddy was better than him!

  • I don’t care what anyways says, I love Norman Gentle! He is so freaking funny, and has a pretty good voice. Of course I don’t think he should be in the top 10 or anything but the man is funny. By far the best thing to ever happen to American Idol! Go Norman! And I agree Tatiana needs to go !

    • First of all, let’s not get crude and use foul language.
      I think that Tatiana is there for the drama (i.e. ratings) but they also have others on there for the ratings too. Norman would be one.
      Like Nathan who really needs to get a grip and go home to momma. I don’t think he will win (though his voice is fair) and I think they have him on because I don’t know that any recording label will want to sign someone that’s that much of a Drama Queen. Tatiana is another perfect example.

  • i really like danny and his bestfriend jamar. I think they both are very talented and deserved to be in top 36. I vote danny as the next american idol.

    Tatiana is the worst. I hate her. She should be the first person to be eliminated.

  • Forget Tatiana! What about the over emotional gay guy who has cried in EVERY episode so far? I want to slap him.

  • I was extremely disappointed to see them let Jamar go (Danny’s friend) and keep that last loser they picked.. Even if he cleaned himself up at the end, that does not make him sound better than Jamar, and Jamar had the whole package.. he was interesting!

  • okay so they let that crazy tatiana through but not danny’s best friend, Jamar??? the one with the tear drop piercing? My fave right now is anoop…. snoop-anoop! I love him! An Norman Gentle? OMG, I’m sorry, but he is awesome!

  • I realize that AI season 7 was so huge that they have to find a way to boost the ratings, or at least keep them up there, but this Tatianna cackle cackle chick?? Really!?! OMG — I hope they lose her VERY soon, hopefully next week. It just takes so much away from the show when you have to watch with the mute button on… and I doubt they’d agree to duct tape her mouth between songs… and I just hate it when my ears bleed… and my spinal cord jumps out…

  • Hey
    Um I think American idol is awsome this year with amazing voices….but PLEASE LOSE TATIANA! I CAN’T STAND HER! God u feel like killin her…
    My favorite is Adam Lambert, his voice is amazing and he is VERY hawt. I was surpised they let Jamar go. Tatiana shoudl’ve went instead of him. Also the blind guy has a very good chance of being a runner up or of winning.

  • Who the heck is Felicia Barton???

    Feb. 12) – Although ‘American Idol’ hopeful Joanna Pacitti was chosen to advance in Wednesday night’s competition, FOX released a statement Thursday saying she is “ineligible to continue” and will be replaced with 26-year-old Felicia Barton, Entertainment Weekly reports. For several weeks, Pacitti’s eligibility came into question, after it was revealed that she had a former record deal with A&M Records and 19 Entertainment, which is the production company behind ‘Idol

  • Figures, the only straight contestant on the show is FAT, BALD and MARRIED. Egads. Are there not any cute, straight men in America that sing worth a dam? I don’t know what annoys me more, that insane tranny Tatiana or those ridiculous OTT flamers. I figure Von with grow his hair long, morph into Tatiana and win in a sequin dress.

  • Tatiana is nuts and has got to go.
    I love love love Casey Carlson and Adam Lambert and I don’t remeber his name but they gay guy who always wears headbands :D

  • I like Danny a lot but my fave is Matt. I forgot his last name. I think it starts with a G. (I’m a kindergarten teacher, that’s how I roll.)
    He’s the one who kinda sounds like Justin Timberlake.

    Is it just me or are there a TON of amazing guy singers this year?

  • Noooop Dawg! haha I feel like he’s going far in this competition past the over-rated people like Danny Gokey.

  • I have to say Danny now. But I liked Jamar more. I can’t believe he didn’t make it! He was so good and I LOVED his version of Hey There Delilah.

  • I have to say Danny now. But I liked Jamar more. I can’t believe he didn’t make it! He was so good and I LOVED his version of Hey There Delilah.

  • First of all, let me say I’ve been done with American Idol for a couple years…I hadn’t watched it in years until I heard Anoop Desai
    was auditioning.

    I seriously don’t understand why everyone keeps talking about his nerdy appearance though! In the audition he was wearing a blue button-up, khaki shorts, and Rainbow brand flipflops…like almost every other college guy in the Southeast…maybe we’re all geeky!

    They could clean up his hair and eyebrows but he definitely looks better than most the guys on there and has actual talent…

    I went to UNC…we all love him and the rest of the Clefs…Go Anoop!

  • This seasons top 36 is by far the best one yet.
    I liked how not every girl they put in the top 36 was blonde haired bimbo or something.But if i had to pick my fav. id have to say adam lambert by far, hes got an amazing voice, and (not that it matters) hes AMAZINGLY HOT
