The search for your next American Idol continues as we enter Hollywood week 2.

I wonder what will happen tonight, they better have a good top 12 after this week or I won't vote this season.

Cant wait to see all the solo perfomances.

I hope they show more of some contestants who were good in their audtion and we haven't seen since then... mostly girls.

.:DoDs:. · 02-10-2009, 12:15 PM

I'm so anxious!

My God, what is Tatiana still doing there? I don't care if her voice is 'good,' do the judges SERIOUSLY think that girl has Idol potential? She's personifies the word annoying, honestly.

But speaking of someone else who hasn't Idol potential, but has lots of charisma and stage presence - and a good voice! - to back him up, I'm glad Nick/Norman made it! I'd die if he made it to the top 12, but I know that's dreaming big.

I won't stop dreaming until I see the results, though

I don't think we can even compare Norman to Tatiana... he is good, a comedian, but good. She is annoying. You know Vote For The Worst will be voting for her.
I'd vote for Norman beeing top 12

I think many people like him.
Maybe he is not there to win, but he can go far and entertain.

Adam was quite disappointing tonight.
Matt was the best I think. Dude is great. The girls weren't memorable, Anne Marie was probably the best.

LOL All of those who sang songs by other idols, Because Of You, Before He Cheats, Tatoo, Time Of My Life, Home... were bad. Not a good decision.

The Nath part was hilarious, him singing Disturbia and they showing his drama... but he sounded great doing that song. I was really surprised, I enjoyed it.

**ღ misty** · 02-10-2009, 10:03 PM

I know, that's bad of me

Personally, I do think he has potential but I don't think he fits the 'AI type.' He's unique

I know some people complain about him making this far, but frankly, I'd much rather watch someone that charismatic than watching someone who can sing their lungs out and has absolutely no stage presence.

You can find good voices anywhere and everywhere, but Nick's talent goes beyond that.

Yeah, WTH was that? The video kept skipping on me, but I thought for a second they had decided to make HW themed, so the contestants had to sing songs from past idols

I wish someone had picked Heaven knows, by Taylor, 'cause that song is so great and upbeat

But oh well. Taytay gets no love from Idol, boo hoo.

I actually really liked Nath's version of Disturbia. It was all stripped down and it sounded really cool.

I was so glad that Joanna and Casey both got through, even though they both messed up their words. I was a bit nervous!

.:DoDs:. · 02-11-2009, 05:19 AM

Thank God Joanna and Casey passed! Imagine if Joanna didn't, it would be a disaster... she has a lot of fans, like Cardin McKinney last season and Cardin didn't make the top 24

Loved Matt, Adam and Ann Marie!

I liked it, too!

I think Nick/Norman is just there for comic relief. I don't think he has a shot at the top 12. Considering they said they did not want to have any Sanjaya's this season. As far as Tatiana goes, I think they are keeping her in because the payoff when they finally cut her will be TV gold.

*Stacy* · 02-11-2009, 09:47 AM

I don't think the contestants had a choice to sing the songs they did. I'm sure the band only had a few songs ready to go and then they had to choose from a list. I'm sure they all sung songs that would be easy to remember, ones they already knew so they wouldn't forget the lyrics, and it just happened to be popular songs that have been on AI.

IMO, I don't judge them on song choices this early, ie Hollywood Rounds. Once they get to the stage and we vote, that's when I start comparing to past Idols and I think it's wrong to see songs that have been played on the show before. It's more fun when the songs are new and fresh.

Tatiana is so freaking annoying! Her voice is decent but I can't stand her.

I like Matt, Steve Wright, Alex Wagner-Truman and a few others. I like Danny but I don't understand why the judges think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

**|so alive|** · 02-11-2009, 04:17 PM

Dude, haven't seen anything but Matt's epic performance yet, but had to say - Matt Giraud is my next American Idol
