Ok ladies and gents, it's time to get serious! Changing things up and shocking the nation, American Idol is having a Top 13 this season. Some things to remember:

This thread will contain real time SPOILERS! If you don't want to know what happens please read the thread after the show premiers in your area. All discussion related to the show should be contained in this thread so as not to ruin surprises for the different time zones.

The parties will start when the show starts at 8:00 PM Eastern time.

1: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You are allowed to discuss opinions in a reasonable manner but you can not attack someone if they like or dislike a particular contestant.  Please respect your fellow posters.

2: There will be no personal bashing of any contestant. You can say you don't like the contestant for their performances or because you just don't like their personality but please do not personally attack the person. No name calling will be tolerated.

3: Please do not post pictures in the thread.  Some people still have dial up and the speed of the thread is impacted with the number of pictures posted. In other words, it takes a long time for their thread to load.

4: People come back and read the thread after the show is over, we're going to try to do our best this year to note who is singing and what for each show. When referring to a contestant, if possible, please use their names so we know exactly which contestant you are referring too.

5: Remember our Claymaniac friends on the West Coast and don't post AI information in community threads. Keep discussion and spoilers here.

6: Also asking you not to post Dial Idol results. Many people don't want to know who may or may not be voted off until the show airs.

Good Grief!   What a formal introduction and grand entrance of the 4 judges and "Flyin' Ryan"!  hypnotic

I'm looking forward to hearing the Top 13!

I know! Apparently it was all Simon's idea. Having an announcer was weird.

The theme this week is "The Music of Michael Jackson"

I have a feeling this is going to be one big hot mess of a show. Roll eyes

Two contestants will be voted off tomorrow night.

I think Lil Rounds picked the right song . . . . and (since the right look seems important to the judges) her outfit looks great!

BTW - She sounds good, too!

Lil Rounds - The Way You Make Me Feel


Randy - this is the way we kick of Season 8; what's great about you is you just put a new spin on this with a bluesy feel

Kira - perfect when you come out; what Lil just did makes everyone think "I've got to step up my game"; I hope we get to hear you on the radio; that last note was just sick!

Paula - blah blah blah makeup blah blah blah; force to be reckoned with; falsetto is like angels singing

Simon -it was good; was a little disappointed; lazy song choice; first half not as good as the second half; hate what you wearing

Lil is quality. She just is. bigsmile

What's wrong with Paula's makeup tonight? Her coloring is just off.

BARB - I thought so, too!  And, yes, many people would be amazed at how good Clay can do with a MJ song!  Clapping

We know for sure!  bigsmile

Scott MacIntyre - Keep the Faith



Randy - song was cool; performance was good but felt very safe; want to see more sparks

Kira - glad we're getting to see you with the piano; not the most obvious MJ song but what I liked was the message; not the most dynamic but you're true to yourself every week

Paula - beautiful; lovely performance

Simon -hated the song because nobody knows it; fine being artistic just not on this show; I think you're a good singer I just didn't like the song

Scott is talented and remarkable but I'm not sure he can make it as a pop star.  He could probably make a good living at a very high class restaurant or lounge.

Scott sounded fine, but nothing outstanding.  It is so commendable that he has done so well with music in spite of his visual impairment, but I hope each contestant is judged on their voice and stage presence. 

It is so refreshing to see how he and his family have handled the disability.  Clapping

Danny Gokey - PYT (Pretty Young Thing)

Got better. I hated the first part but once he got started it was good.


Randy - what's so amazing about you is I look for a different style from you; I loved it all because I felt like it was just passionate and not choreographed

Kira - the joy you have when you step on the stage

Paula - true art of an artist is when you can hear somebody even with your eyes closed and know exactly who you are scratch  hypnotic

Simon -vocals brilliant; one heck of a singer; however, the dancing was hideous

Gotta agree with Simon about Danny's dancing. Paranoid
