Ok quick question – from wikipedia’ing this season of Am. Id. it looks like the vast majority of the participants have pagent experience. Carly, Robbie (RIP), Kristy, Kady, and Michael were all at one point signed to a label. Davey Archuletta one StarSearch a few years ago, Luke is in some national acapella group, etc. I think the main issue this season is that no one has seemed geniuinely EXCITED to be up there performing this year… well with the exception of Asia (sp?) who seems truely excited to be performing every week. Hopefully next week when the cateogories get a little more tightened up, we’ll see some genuine emotion out of this crop and find someone to cheer for.

Also, I don’t think Davey’s got it wrapped up just yet… Paris Bennett, Melinda Doolittle, Howard Dean and Daughtry were ALL early front runners and lost. He also doesn’t think “Imagine” is a sad song, so… strike two.

@sicksteanein: I think you're right. She's like Streisand or Dion, without the charm.

And that's saying something.

I’m thinking Amanda already knows she’s off the show (what’s that? It’s all fixed, you say?) and was subdued for that reason. Brooke was smart with her song choice and that will work for her. Carly is a no brainer. But to anyone who does not believe the show is fixed, and fixed big time, just look at Kady. Sure, she sounded great at auditions and the early Hollywood rounds, but she just sounds like crap now. And that fake-y beauty pageant look of surprise (while she was actually smirking at the same time!) when she and the other blonde were waiting to see who would be kicked last week was just horrible. The only personality that girl has is that of a mean attention whore.

@92BuickLeSabre: It's the same reason her major label career never took off I imagine. She's like a cold robot. Two weeks ago it looked like she was constantly reminding herself to smile. She'd get this scowl on her face and her circuitry would kick in to produce one of the fakest smiles I've seen. It was creepy.

@derby: @sicksteanein: @92BuickLeSabre: carly's dominance is more a testament to the weakness of the ladies' field this year than anything else, really.

@derby and sicksteanein: You are not alone.

Something is simply missing. I can't put my finger on it; probably because whatever it is isn't there.

If you see Simon’s arm on the top of Paula’s chair at the beginning of the show (and the middle and the end for that matter), it is a dead giveaway that the out-of-it-scale is going to be up there.
