Our American Idol addiction: Let's share our favorites!

I havent even watched American Idol this season at all

Last year, during auditions, I really, really liked Gina, so I'm -totally- rooting for her. I also like Sundance, and Chris. The black woman with the young daughter, Lakisha? (Can't recall her name spelling) I really liked her, too. She was so nice and polite, and has such a strong voice.

I love AI. The auditions are -great-, but I love the songs when they start singing with the -good- people.

I watch American Idol too! Have watched it every season! And I agree with you - Sundance Head is amazing! Unusual name, but MAN CAN HE SING!

I don't have a favorite yet. I'll have to watch and see as they move along in the competition.

Connie C: I almost didn't watch AI this season either, only because I was disappointed when Chris Daughtry was booted off unexpectedly last year, but I'm glad I did... because there is a LOT of talent this year!

Heather T: I really liked Gina last year too - I'm so glad she's back. I also like Lakisha Jones as well, and you're so right: she's super nice and polite and is so strong when she sings. She's also a single mother, which makes me really want to root for her. I think even if she doesn't win - she'll still make something of herself.

Bridget A: That's great that you really like Sundance... I think he'll go really far.

Nana: I'm like you too, because I usually switch my favorites later on in the competition. Sometimes it's really hard to pick so soon, so we'll see! We'll have to keep a conversation going about this season, so we can see if anyone changes their favorites.

Bailey was my favorite. I'm still ticked she's gone. If she had to go, both of the best-friend b***hes should've went with her (rather than just 1).

And honestly, I didn't watch last night because there's really no one left that I like all that much.

I love american idol!
:)_
don't know who my fav is yet, probably the overweight black lady with the daughter, her voice was awesome.
I watched last night and thought they let some thru who didn't sing as good and let go others who did not sound that good!
It's nice to meet some other people who like american idol.
My dh leaves the room or the house so he doesn't have to hear it.

I like Gina & Sundance.

Chris is my favorite boy
Leslie is my favorite girl

I don't remember Leslie singing. What did she sing for her first audition?

I was TICKED when Chris Daughtry got the boot last year!

This year right now I like Blake, Antonella and Chris. I was upset last night when it came down to the last 2 and Sundance went through and the other guy who's name I can't remember didn't make it. I do like Sundance as well, but I thought the other guy was great and he should have made it through.

no to all three questions, and-- you're freakin' me out here! what happened to a nice hippie girl's visions of who her children would be? ;)

I like Sanjaya, in terms of the women I don't know yet.

Am I the only one who can't stand Antonella? There is just something about her I don't like. I wish Bailey would've made it through. I really liked her. I'm not sure who all I'm really crazy about yet. At the moment I'm hoping that beat boxing guy gets through the the on other guy who was in his group. I also like Gina and the single mom. Other than that I need to hear them all again and see how there personalities are presented on the show. I know I didn't like Kat last year and still can't stand her on her interviews. I see myself yelling at the t.v. this year again.

This is hard as my opinion will probably change as the show goes on but at this point. I liked the guy who was a back up singer, Gina, and Paul. Lakisha has a good strong voice as well. The competition is stiff, alot, of good singers.I liked the audition that Sundance did but I dont think he was as good in Hollywood. I loved the guys who was in the group, even if they dont make it on idol, they should form their own group. When Bailey went home , that other one who lied about her flirting should of gone but they got her the next time and I was glad.

I agree Jenna, I liked Bailey, too. I'm addicted to AI and have my whole family watching now. My parents even vote several times a night. I like Chris and Gina so far but we'll see. Lots of time left to change my mind.

I think Hollywood week is my favorite - even over the auditions! It will be fun to see the final 24!!

No, Jenna, you are NOT alone. She's always kind of acted like a self indulged rich wench. I guess in terms of voice, she has a good one, but I'd rather see someone like Lakisha get it over someone like Antonella.

Is there an American Idol group here on Gather?

I don't watch the show.

That's ok, Karolyn Q - we still love ya! ;o)

Hi, Bridget: Yes... as far as I've found, there are 2 American Idol groups on Gather. There is "American Idol 2007" and "American and Canadian Idol Group lovers".

Alicia Storey: Yeah for the American Idol fanatics on Gather! That is so cool that you guys picked Taylor Hicks as the winner last year. The 1st year I pegged Kelly Clarkson as the winner, so I was pretty stoked about that. That's really neat that we like the same people as our favorites. I REALLY like Gina.

Oh yeah - there's a group on Gather for Chris Daughtry fans too, at daughtryfanclub.gather.com

You're so welcome for the link, Dawne Joy! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I was like you: disappointed that Chris Daughtry didn't win, but KNEW that he would go far, and he did. I really like his music, but haven't gone out to buy his album. I can't even imagine how life changing this has been for him, his wife, and their child. I love that American Idol has such an effect on people.

I don't watch the show. I think Simon is an absolute idiot and I don't understand why America likes such a rude snob.

Also, for the reasons most people like the show, I don't. I don't like gossip unless it's about me. That's because if it's about me, I know it's not going to hurt me. I know whether a rumor is true or not and I figure those who spread rumors aren't very important so it doesn't matter if they believe a falsehood about me. If it is about someone else, I think of the damage it could do them and it pisses me off that someone could use such a passive aggressive way to get at people.

The other reason is because I don't like drama. Drama usually means someone is having a crisis. I'd just as soon people deal with the crisis and not drag it out.

Then, there's the fact that I've known so many incredible singers that aren't famous and don't have the backing to be famous so when I see a show that tries to make out that someone is totally awesome because they won a contest, which seems to have a lot of politics attached, I just think how fake hollywood is. It's part of the reason I moved away from LA. I don't like government politics or show biz politics. So, no AI for me.

I love Idol that is why I started the group but to be honest, none of the people you mentioned grew on me. I am going to wait for awhile before picking my favourites but right now I know that I do like the two backup singers very much.

Hi, Carol - yes, thanks so much for creating one of the American Idol groups! As soon as someone grows on you... can you let us know who you're rooting for?

Jenny D: I'm bummed about Bailey too... maybe if you watch it some more, someone will grow on you?

Faith S: I love AI too! Too bad your hubby leaves so he doesn't have to hear it. Oh well, you have all of US to talk to about it!

ELAINE A: good picks!

Deanna P: good picks!

Bridget ~ Proud SAHM: Yeah, me too. Oh well... at least he still put out an album, right?

Teara P: You're right. That other guy was really good, in fact he was from MY neck of the woods, so I was hoping he'd get in.

Bonita P: Oh mom, you really need to just start watching it. Dad watches it, doesn't he?

Demetria D: He's such a little cutie, but I wish his sister was with him. I don't think he'll be as confident without her there, you know?

Jenna S: You know... I actually really liked Kat last year, but she reminds me too much of Katie Holmes and I used to like her before she got all brainwashed by Tom Cruise. I can understand the sour taste in your mouth from Antonella. She bugs me too... but I really do think she has a very nice voice. She isn't my TOP pick for females, but I figured I'd choose 3 since I have 3 top guys.

vickey w: Very stiff competition this year, and what I really like is that there's so much diversity. There are quite a few people that don't fit the "norm". I don't think Sundance was good in Hollywood either, I felt really bad for him and was really surprised when he actually made it through. I'm sure we'll all start to waiver a little bit as the competition goes on. We'll have to try to keep this conversation going.

Lynn R: Yes, I think there were a LOT of people who liked Bailey. I think she'll end up with an album or some kind of modeling/magazine deal. Like Simon said, she's VERY commercial. Her look reminded me some of Denise Richards actually, but a LOT cuter and a LOT more innocent. That is really cool that you have your whole family watching it now. My 10 year old son and I both watch it together.

Lisa M: I really like Hollywood week too... I would be SO nervous to do that!

Heather T: I feel the same way about Antonella as well, but I really do love her voice. She was my #3 pick for the girls, I just had to pick another girl since I have 3 favorite guys, heehee.

I figured I'd come back and add that my 6 week old daughter fell asleep while AI was on the other week. When the one girl that was making grunting noises came on it actaully woke her up and she started crying. As soon as the girl stopped and was gone she was fine and content again. It was just interesting to me because she would only fuss everytime that girl opened her mouth and would stop as soon as she stopped.Maybe it's me...but I think she knows the sound of something extremely awful already.

Hi again, Jenna! Ok... that is REALLY crazy about your daughter doing that! Oh, and CONGRATS on the new baby!!! She's already an AI fan, how cool.

so far, brandon and chris are out in front, but everybody is nervous and pitchy.

oddly enough, I agree with Simon about Chris.

Nick's voice is a little airy tonight.

HI guys.

After seeing the guys perform Tuesday night, I was SO disappointed. I doubt highly if Sundance will even make it through now. I still really like Chris Sligh and Sanjaya. I really like Blake now too. Chris Richardson reminds me too much of a bad Justin Timberlake / Kevin Federline combo.

So, I always pick my favorites from the get-go and root for them. But once they fail miserably, they start to slip. So, Sundance slipped for me. He's not a favorite for me anymore. I feel like he failed me, hahaha. How sad is that?

For the women: Wow, no doubt about it... Lakisha blew us all away, and although she was not one of my "favs" from the beginning, I do think she will win, or at least get to the very end. Stephanie, Sabrina and Melinda all did extremely well and my favorite girl, Gina - still held strong.

I think a girl will win this year, but I'm just making that call from how horribly the guys did on Monday night.

Hey there, Peter - guess what? I JUST published another AI article here: Who will get the American Idol BOOT tonight? , maybe you'll be the 1st one to check it out.

Yup.. this really does look like "the" place for the women to hang out, haha. You know how we all get about our reality tv! Of course we don't mind a male joining the party. You are so right on about everyone that did well this time around. I was also a Katherine McPhee fan, that is of course, after Chris Daughtry got the boot. I wanted it to come down to Chris and Katherine and I didn't care who won, just as long as it was one of those 2. Obviously, I didn't get my wish - did I? I'll have to check out Eva Avila's music... I bet she's really good! Thanks again for stopping by and feel free to weigh in over at my newer article. I wish there was a way we could streamline this a little more, but unfortunately I don't think there is.

My favorite women: Lakisha, Melinda, Stephanie, and Sabrina (my dh's favorite)
My favorite man (I really only like one of them): Blake. I did like Chris until his smart**s comment about Il Divo or Teletubbies (not that I care about either of them). I think there is a fine line between witty and sharp and just being a jerk. With that comment, he crossed the line for me.

Well... I watched the show tonight, when the guys performed and I really think Sanjaya Malakar and Brandon Rogers or AJ Tabaldo are going home.

I didn't get a chance to watch tonight. I am helping my cousin work on a writing prooject. What happened?

I'm loving Miss Doolittle and Lakisha...my favorite guy is Blake.
