American Idol ........(Tonight's final 5) ......~SpaceCase

Last week, we finally said goodbye to Carmen Rasmusin. Tonight's theme was the 60's and the guest judge was songwriter Neil Sedaka. Each of the finalists sang two songs, a 60's hit and a Sedaka original. I gotta say, I've always loved his songs!! Even though they each performed twice, I am going to combine the two performances for each singer.

1. Ruben Studdard - "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" originally performed by the Temptations, and Sedaka's "Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do" I didn't think his first performance was all that, but the judges loved it. However, the velvet teddy bear, who ditched the '205 area code' jersey for a shiny bronze(?) leather suit, came out a winner for sure with "Breakin' Up...". Sedaka revised a brilliant rendition for Studdard to call his own, and after the song was over, Randy told him he was already the winner...ok, why don't we ruin it for everyone else!

2. Trenyce - "Proud Mary" as performed by Tina Turner (& CCR), and Sedaka's "Love Will Keep Us Together" as performed by Captain & Tenielle. OMGoodness, this girl LOOKED fabulous tonight!! I totally dug the duds, and she apparently grew up be-boppin' to the sixties tunes, because she was totally in her element. And by the end of her last song, she had even won Simon over, who wasn't impressed with her first choice. (I WAS *dancin' in the livin' room with the kids*)

3. Joshua Gracin - "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" as sung by Ronnie Milsap, originally covered by The Coasters (?), and Sedaka's "Bad Blood"...What can I say, I actually enjoyed the first performance, he was in his country element...but the judges, boy did they tear him apart. So he didn't feel so "Bad" when he got up on stage and was unable to sell "Bad Blood". Unless all the US Military and his fans call in, and that's why he's still here, he'll be shipping out tomorrow...out of Hollywood, that is! He'll be alright girls :)

4. Kimberly Locke - "Heard It Through the Grapevine" CCR*(I didn't get the specific rendetion's artist), and Sedaka's "Where the Boys Are" (one of my personal favs, as we sang this my sophomore year in girl's choir :) This girl was SMOKIN' tonight!! Her beautiful esteem was in the spotlight tonight, she had confidence, grace and even sex appeal!! She definitely upped the ante tonight! Her best performances to date!

5. Clay Aiken - "Build Me Up Buttercup" (didn't catch the artist here either), and Sedaka's "Solitaire". And then the child becomes a man. That sentence sums up the transfomation that has taken place since last week with our boy Clay. Tonight, he was number one, a shining Super-star!! Paula wanted to hug him and he got that goofy childhood gleam, was that a tear forming in the corner of his eye? Well!! What would you be doing if Paula was that proud of you? We are talking about Michael Jackson's choreographer (for a period) Janet Jackson's too, if you prefer her to her, erm...him, sorry Michael. Paula Abdul, what a doll! Neil Sedaka told Clay he would love for him to sign with him once this show was won!

PLEASE share your opinions!

What a great night, those guys are really fighting for it now, and they are all superstars!! Best wishes to them all, yeah, even Joshie-poo

Date: 4/29/2003 7:13:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I like Josh normally but I think it is his time to go. I hate that he didn't do well, its like he didn't even try. I thought he has done awesome before but he just hasn't been doing good lately. I think everyone else did pretty good.
Date: 4/29/2003 7:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 14780    Josh has to go now...These last ones are going to be tough to figure out.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    I loved the show tonight.. I was singing along to most the songs.. lol. But you are right, Josh seemed like he was tensed up, and that his "soul" just wasnt in it. After tonight, its a close, close race between Ruben, Clay and Kimberly, AND even Treynice-if she can pull the same off next week.. After watching the show tonight, I have to say the contestants on this one, outweighs the ones on the first season-COMPLETELY! *hugs*  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:21:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   you guys check out my post about the American Idol love songs CD
Date: 4/29/2003 7:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    Ruben's first song wasnt all that great, but he did alot better on the second song. Tryece, didnt like the first song at all, still cant stand her but she was GREAT on the second song. Boy did she look adorable! I think Josh is going bye bye. If the votes are in sync with the perfomances he will be gone. Kimberly did a great job tonight on both songs. I really like Kimberly, she is growing so much as an artist, its awesome to watch. Mr Sedaka said he would KILL to write and produce Clays first CD. Clays first song was ok, but man o man his second was his best to date. Paula was right, he didnt ACT the part he WAS the part, no theatrics and a song that seems totally from the heart. I think the word Paula used was vulnerable. Bravo Clay. OOOOO Was good to see Ricky tonight even if he was only in the audience! Thanks again for the posts   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:30:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    oh heck yah Amanda! I started watching last year when there were like six or seven...none of them AND I MEAN NONE OF THEM hold a candle to this year's top four...and I am proud to say I called it from the get go! Yeah, I'm braggin' LOL I LOVE All of your comments so much...it gives these AI posts so much life, and so many view points! Thanks for stopping in tonight, {{LOTSOTEXASLUV}}  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:32:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    will do Danielle, the kids were a handful at bedtime tonight, and I am just now gettin' to chill! Goin' there in two winks   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    I missed it! LOL  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:33:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   do you guys vote at all? I voted for Kim Locke tonight because I was worried everyone would try to save Trenyce and Josh and she would be neglected so I am putting in some votes for her.
Date: 4/29/2003 7:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    LOL Space.. I hear ya! I havent called it exactly right from the beginning, but I do think the ones that I originally thought wouldnt make it are growing on me.. LMAO.. They should have a warning caption for that : Contestants may grow on you, rapidly!.. lol *hugs*  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:38:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   Does anyone else think Ruben gets too much special attention? Don't get me wrong i love Ruben but he seems to get the best comments from everyone no matter what. I thought it was wrong of Randy to say he already won this competition, I think Clay is just as good as he is. Sorry I feel chatty tonight lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:39:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I didn't think Ruben's outfit was that bad, Simon always has something bad to say though
Date: 4/29/2003 7:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    I voted for Kimberly and Ruben tonight. So far only gotten like 3 votes that went through I will keep on trying in between comments   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:40:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   Did anyone else think that Ford commercial they showed last week was really cheesy?
Date: 4/29/2003 7:40:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   who thinks I am talking too much? lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:42:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   Amanda I know what you mean about contestants growing on you, I cried when Ricky was eliminated! lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    LOL Danielle... I dont know.. maybe they feel the need to because he is a hefty guy, but I have also noticed it. I love his voice, but sometimes they are almost kissing his feet.. *shrugs* I dont know... And hey the brown outfit wasnt that bad... LOL.... and what was with Simon saying that Treynice's performance was like watching drag.. I thought it was funny, but it was totally out there on critique, because she did awesomely   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    Most of the commercials they do are really cheesy, and YES Ruben gets too much attention. I have counted several times when he has went off key, or when another forgot words, and yet the judges say nothing, I dont understand.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    <--- is a talker too, most the time.. Where did Space go? lol  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:45:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I can't stand Trenyce but I felt bad for her because of Simon's comment. that was mean! I think Ruben and Clay are both great. I think it will come down to them to win. I think Kim has a chance too, but I think it will come down to Clay and Ruben. Space ditched us lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Yea, Im sure it will come down to Clay and Ruben, But Kimberly will definitely get dibs on a recording contract.. maybe the same with Treynice too   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    Well Im still here!  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    DMK Yep, their commercials are Cheesy! I think that the judges are sometimes not as observant as they claim to be.. lol  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:48:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I think most of the top 12 has a good chance at getting a recording contract. I think Josh could get a country western contract, he actually sounded great on the Love songs CD. MUCH better then he has been sounded on the show lately. Ricky and Charles also sounded great. A lot of them are great! lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:49:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   sounding not sounded lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    The only one out of the top 12 that I wouldnt like to see get a contract is Corey. *shakes head* Cant stand the sound of his voice.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Thats true, but they said that about last season's contestants, and I have only seen a couple doing anything music wise.. Maybe Im just out of the loop.. lmao..   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:50:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   DMK he sounds like a girl lol. He sounded like a girl on the CD.
Date: 4/29/2003 7:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Ooh, DMK, that would tick me off to see him get a recording contract after him lying the way he did. I mean, he stayed while 2 or 3 before him were voted off, and to me, that was just disgraceful, ya know?  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:53:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I know Amanda, only Justin and Kelly have gotten record deals so far. I hope the people this year can have a chance of getting one. I was surprised they let Corey come back for this CD and Vanessa didn't come back. beats me
Date: 4/29/2003 7:53:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    There is 3 out of the top 12 from last year that are recording (that I know of). Kelly, Jusin, Im pretty sure that Tamyra will record if she hasnt started yet, and that one girl dang whats her name, long brown hair skimpy shirts. AWW cant think. Think she has a boys name lol.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    Danielle, that girl dangit whats her name, is starting her own clothing line as is recording now, saw it on some show.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:54:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   Ryan Starr DMK lol. and thats right Tamyra does have a record deal
Date: 4/29/2003 7:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    I agree about Ruben, Danielle, Clay is just as good in his own right. In fact, Clay was best tonight in my opinion, followed by Kimberly and THEN Ruben...I know his voice must be tired, but I will not cut any slack...but then I don't vote, because I can't get in and after about 10 tries, I give up...plus, LOL I am online, hehe, no cable here :P  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Ummmm... i cant think of it either DMK.. lmao.. *blushes* I knew that justin and kelly had gotten a record deal, and I knew Tamyra has been on Boston Public, but havent heard anything about her recording deal as of yet. Maybe she is just winging it as an actress The other ones, I didnt know about either.. lol  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    * I thought maybe* she was just winging it as an actress... man, can you tell Im tired, I am leaving WHOLE words out of my replies.. lmao  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    Even if a few went before Corey, all he did was delay the inevitable, he wasnt good enough to be in the top 5, but dont tell Paula that, she was totally taken by him.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 11341    YEA thats it Ryan! See I knew it was a boys name lol.  
Date: 4/29/2003 7:57:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I think Kim Caldwell is pursuing in acting career. I know a lot of people didn't like her but I actually did like her most of the time. I also think Ricky would make an awesome actor! Hercules Hercules lol
Date: 4/29/2003 7:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    LMAO... that sooo true DMK.. I wasnt a Corey fan.. But that's just me   
Date: 4/29/2003 7:59:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I found Corey to be very attractive physically but thats all he's getting out of me lol. he sounds like a girl, I know I already said that but he does
Date: 4/29/2003 7:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Danielle, I was one that didnt like Kim C., but maybe it was because her personality just wasnt coming out on stage.. She kinda seemed withdrawn. But I think she would probably do very well as an actress... Same with Rickey-definitely has the personality for it   
Date: 4/29/2003 8:01:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   Yeah my mom never cared much for her either Amanda. She does seem to have a bad personality at times, but I think she is just misunderstood. I don't know though. I think Carmen could make a good actress too. I never liked her singing at all, but she does have good stage presence
Date: 4/29/2003 8:01:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    wow, there is so much to read here, girls, I can't keep up, LOL...maybe I am getting elderly!! O_O  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:02:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   we are just talking about nothing Space lol.
Date: 4/29/2003 8:05:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I bet you never expected this many comments to this post lol
Date: 4/29/2003 8:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Thats true Dani! And Space.... Its ok, half the time I cant keep up either *winks* hehe. We are just chit chatting... And No you are not elderly   
Date: 4/29/2003 8:07:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    I am just gonna make comments as I read...Liked Ruben's leather, hated the cheesey commercials from the start...I cried when Ricky left too! LOL...LMBO@ Amanda's *hefty* comment...NEWSFLASH...COREY IS a girl!, LOL...besides that she sounded like Cher, the only reason I didn't take well to Caldwell is because my husband did, and it was apparent where he thought her talent lied, LOL  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:07:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   I feel sorry for the contestants though. I have been to the American Idol message boards on Bolt and people are so mean there! They were calling Trenyce horse faced, Josh and Kim fat and ugly, and they were saying really bad things about Ruben and Clay too. People can be mean.
Date: 4/29/2003 8:08:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    I don't think I've ever had a post get soooo many comments!! Rank-roo rirls   
Date: 4/29/2003 8:09:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    geez, some people can be soooo cruel...I can't knock someone's looks...except, Tuben reminds me of Garfield!!  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:11:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    Tuben...LMBO!! tuba-Ruben, I mean? nah...silly typos!  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:12:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   OMG you should have seen Carmen's message board. it was the worst. On the board they have an online chat with the voted off contestant and I saw a transcript of the chat and she said she cried at night because of what people said to her. I feel bad for Josh too because of the things people are saying about him. Clay is also getting bashed pretty bad. I just shouldn't go back there! I need to get a life and lay off American Idol lol
Date: 4/29/2003 8:14:00 PM  ( Admin-DNL )   well you guys i'm tired so I am going to bed. goodnight!
Date: 4/29/2003 8:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    I know Dani.... but thats people for ya. Not everyone will be mature about something like that, and I guess in a way if they see it, it will prepare them for what the media will do to them once they get really famous   
Date: 4/29/2003 8:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    LMAO Space... Well, Nakoma never watched American Idol, but I really would have disliked her if he had "digged her".. ya know.. lmao  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    Hey Space, we are rad-girls, we sometimes spam posts that we like *wink* hehe  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    lmao Tuben! Hey that can be our own new nickname for him *wink*... He does kinda look like garfield *raises eyebrows* lmao  
Date: 4/29/2003 8:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    G'night Dani!! *hugs* Talk soon sis   
Date: 4/29/2003 8:41:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 53836    well y'all are definitely RADical! Big Hugs and Tons 'o' Texas love!! Thanks for the fun!  
Date: 4/30/2003 3:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 11348    Thanks for posting this! I missed it! I'm a Clay fan.
