Okay so like AMERICAN IDOL so like sucked tonight!
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 07:53 PM by underpants
Gloria Estefan music? What's next a polka episode?

There is only one way to do those songs and I am sure (if they didn't know before and they SHOULD have) that anyone who actually laid down money for one of her albums is thinking-"Wow that is some sorry crap".

The funny part was in the intro they mentioned FOUR of Glorias hits...........well there are SIX contestants and we have seen that there just aren't enough songs that anyone remembers.

The "Miami Sound Machine" (leaches off the 'Miami Vice' south beach club loounge lizards are cool weirdness of the 80's) was backing them up and they sounded pretty horrible. Maybe too many of them were in one of those bus wrecks and reverted back to the Holiday Inn by the airport band that they were before the marketing machinery kicked in.

ON EDIT- many mistypings.

4. Au Contraire!
Do yourself a favor and download Fantasia Barrino's rendition of "Summertime" from 2 weeks ago. Whoa. Best AI performance of any season ever.

But tonight truly was HORRIBLE!

6. Yep .. that "Summertime" was probably the AI highlight this time around
But tonight was awful. If John Stevens isn't the one that gets bumped tomorrow, I'll be stunned and really ticked.

I couldn't believe that he stayed on last week and Jennifer Hudson got the boot. She was getting really good.

2. I think I saw the Miami Sound Machine...
...playing a quince in a South Florida strip mall banquet hall a few years back. Glad to see that their bookings are getting somewhat classier.

3. You are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't been watching it at all this year, but tuned in tonight. Didn't see them all, but that girl Fantasia, whom everyone raves about, totally sucked.

But, they ALL sucked. It really was the music, so I can't judge by tonight's performances. The music is bland, and Gloria Estefan is a talentless, right-wing whacko. There's no way ANYONE could sound good singing that crap.
