American Idol: Season 3 Forum

Thread open to talk about the people who did not advance. Please keep it in here guys, so we west coast people can enjoy the show and not know who did not go through.

Hey...OBF...who do you think looked the most upset? I think Erskine didnt look real happy...but it was hard to see...they didnt show their reactions that closely.

I have to say I was surprised that Katie didnt make the final three...i thought at least she would have made it that far...I still preferred her over Matt....Matt just didnt impress me...I was with Randy on that aspect of it..


Anyone in this group do you see coming back as a wildcard pick?

" There are no losers here ! Let's give them applause. ... Over 70 THOUSAND auditioned, and they made it through to the final elimination "

Oh excuse me ... I was just auditioning there for Seacrest's job.

It takes practice and a certain special brand of insensitivity to not only stress the word elimination -- but make that the final word the disappointed dark-sitters hear about themselves after all their hard work.

In case you didn't notice, Matt buoyed them, and got them up off their feet to stand/dance behind Diana as she sang.

OBF...

Im watching AI again on my west coast channel...(I love it! If I miss the first one...I still get a second chance to watch)...I thought I would rewatch it to see if I missed the reactions...and youre right, Katie looked not only the most upset...but i think she was truly shocked by it....

Do you think maybe she thought she was a shoo in?

I was shocked that Katie did not make it. She was wonderful. I hope she comes back as a wild card. Matt was charismatic, but he mostly got votes because he is cute.

Yeppers... the shock, for me, was Katie not in the top three. And I think that Matt got more votes due to his looks. He was not a bad singer. I think that he could become a decent singer, but Katie was better.

Of the eight who performed on Tuesday night, I believe that Katie gave the best account of herself. Fantasia was a close second. Diana third. I still think Katie earned a spot in the Top 3 and Matt did not.

Matt wasn't even in the running. In fact, I had him #4 on my list before his performance on Tuesday night and dropped him down a couple of notches after his performance. There's no way that he deserves the Wild Card slot, especially if it was at the expense of Katie. I doubt that he'll last through the Wild Card voting.

Ashley and Jennifer and Marque were easy choices to vote out. Erskine was a close one to have to lose but he clearly did not give a Top 3 performance. I had him in as #4 on my list after his Tuesday night show.

I'm disappointed with the way things turned out this week but, as they say in the NFL, "that game's over, all I'm thinking about now is the next one."

Old Scout

Very true Old Scout. There are more to come.

As soon as they come up. Kris checked a while ago, they were not there yet.

I've been checking and they aren't on there yet. But, once they are, you bet that you will have a thread to breeze through.

You know... you would THINK that as HUGE as American Idol is, and how much freakin' traffic that they have going to their sight, they would update things asap. Damn it... they are tooooooooo slow in my opinion.

Yes they really lag on the information. I did jot down the names for next week.

That's right, Mystic, American Pie.

Anyone recognize the other quoted lyrics?

who was eliminated last night? it is driving me crazy not knowing- i cant find it anywhere

Try that thread... it tells you who's going through... therefore, everyone else isn't!

SHOW 2/11/04 Comments on the ones going through

well... i just wish it would have been katie and matt

I know. I apologize again for dropping that post in here but I just couldn't resist.

When I hear a splendid phrase like "dark-sitters", my mind just grabs at the imagery of the term and makes the connection to the Days of Future Past album.

As you know, I've been on the INReview forums for only a short while. I've looked around and found several other forums and topics that I'd like to participate in but I just don't have the time right now. Perhaps after the AI3 show ends in the spring I will spend a lot more time on the music threads. Music is a lifelong hobby of mine.

I'll drop this subject now and let the <2/11/04 The Losers> thread heal itself.
