So anyone else still watching this? Even though it has been on for years, I have always watched it and reckon this is the best season in ages!!
My prediction for a winner is Danny Gokey (the one whose wife died only weeks before he auditioned). He is awesome!! Anyone else got a favourite? |

Yeah I am loving it this season, even DH, who has always sworn the programme is gay, watches it with me.
I do like Danny. Probably one of the only ones I remember at the moment. So gutted they didnt let his friend through though
Oh and I cant stand Tatiana!!! Gaaah -------------

HAHA..my DH is the same...he reckons it sucks but ALWAYS watches it!! I know!!! I can't believe Tatiana is still there!!! I can't wait to see her leave and I bet she'll be bawling her eyes out. I don't imagine the US public will vote for her. BooBoo.. I think we are only 1-2 weeks behind. They have just got to the final 32 here, and in the US they have just had the first 12 perform and put the first 3 people into the final 12.. |

I love Danny too although all the songs I've seen him cover so far have been sad songs that make me think they are all about his wife. I'd like to see him do something more upbeat cause he's cute and can really sing  -------------

I'm a huuuugggeee AI fan, to the point that I actually record them on My Sky and watch them later so I can FFW the ads.
My faves are Danny, Alexis (the 20yr old mum)and theres one other guy, can't recall his name. Summerlamb, they were playing the previous weeks episode on Friday afternoons, not sure if they're still doing that now that its up to the top 36.

I like Danny too, but I can't see him as a winner somehow. Not sure who I'd be picking though. As for Tatiana, I strongly agree with Simon Cowell's sentiments on her so far. Yes she has a great voice but ohhhhh do we have to go through the screams and cries and shakes every single time? LOL! ------------- |

Tatiana is incredibly annoying! I can't believe they've kept her on for so long. Surely the public will vote her out?!!?
In fact I'm going to go and google and see if I can find out whether she made it through..........  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm a closet fan but I love most reality shows unlike my friends. I get really hooked on American Idol during the audition stage as it's just so funny and cruel and then I've just gotta see who wins and if it's who I picked.
There's a few I really like but I can't remember their names as they've got quite a group of talented people. Tatiana HAS TO GO but she's fun to watch. Surely they're just keeping her around to stir up viewer reaction as even though she's got a good voice I would say there are plenty who are more talented than her. She's certainly got an inflated sense of self

No cheating allowed in our house!
Ohhhh one person I can't believe who got in was Norman/Nick I found it hard to believe that he was a better singer than Danny's friend..I mean he sung Delilah! *Sigh* ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I thought that Danny's friend (but can't remember his name) would have gotten through, I liked him  (the same guy you are talking about Mel!)
I am watching and enjoying this season ------------- Isaac is 6, Ethan is 4, Rico is 2 and Hunter is almost 1! |

I Love Allison, the 16yo girl that sang heart. She looks so much like a young Kelly Clarkson though - it's scary. Definitely one to watch, and the girl with the tattooed arm and she's a mother ...can't recall her name.
Not really a fan of AI though, just catch parts of it because everyone else in the household is glued to the screen when it's on. |

Two questions
- who's the 4th judge? - is Randy related to the rest of the Jacksons? Ta! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |
Posted By: pepsi
Date Posted: 15 March 2009 at 2:16pm
The new judge Kara DioGuardi is a Grammy nominated singer/songwriter. Her songs have been recorded by Grammy award-winning artists including Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Santana and Pink. Scores of major recording artists including Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Natasha Bedingfield, Jewel, Ashley Tisdale, Katharine McPhee, Taylor Hicks, Bo Bice, Clay Aiken, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Kylie Minogue, Enrique Iglesias, Nick Lachey and Marc Anthony have also released DioGuardi's songs. No. The Jacksons do have a family member with the same name - but the Randy Jackson from AI is not related. Brought to you by the letter "G" for Google

| My favs are Danny and Scott (the blind guy) and Megan, the quirky one with the funny dance moves. I reckon Scott will have a good chance of taking it. |
