Commentary

  1. eve wrote on 06. Feb 2009

    There are a few there that haven’t a snonball’s chance in heck of becoming AI and just because the judges find them amusing, doesn’t mean the rest of us do. I had rather have less drama and just let the good singers through. These bozo’s take up the spot of someone else more deserving, IMHO

    I Am SOOOOOOOOOOO Glad Joanna Pacitti Made It. I’m also glad Matt Giraud, Stevie Wright, Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, and Kristen McNamara made it. Not so happy about Tatiana, and Nick(Normond Gentle) made it though.

    i cant believe they’ll pass on LaNesha Young and Felicia Barton over Tatiana and Nick. OMG!!! I’ll brace myself for the worst AI season ever.

  7. Erika wrote on 09. Feb 2009

    Is this why they haven’t been showing Cody Sheldon on AI recently? They want all his fans to forget about him quietly. Well, that’s not going to happen…What a rip off!!He was obviously more talented than a lot of those lame-os they’ve sent through…very disappointed in AI in PA

  8. Mariane wrote on 09. Feb 2009

    I am SO GLAD Megan made it through! I love her, she is my favorite! Also loving Anoop, Alexis Grace, Arianna, Matt Giraud and Stevie!!
    I hate Von Smith! I have no idea why he is the competition! He is so exagerated!

  9. Lucas Camargo wrote on 09. Feb 2009

    I have to say… I guess I liked it!
    My favorite ones are: Adam, Alex, Alexis, ANOOP, Brent, DANNY, JOANNA, JORGE, Lil, Matthew, Michael, Scott and Von. (As you can see, Anoop, Danny, Joanna and Jorge are the bests of the bests for me!)
    I’m shocked about Nataniel, Norman Gentle and Tatiana Del Toro!!! How did they get so far? Oh, Lord, save me from them! *laughts*

    ANOOP DESAI all the way baby! and i have a soft spot for Alexander “Alex” Wagner Thugman

    i think hes ADORABLE! but anoop’s the one with the best voice+vocals on the show in my opinion.

    TATIANA is SOO annoying. i cant wait till shes outta the competition.

    I want to see more music!!! And less drama… Let the people listen and vote!!!

    I’m no that that happy with Tatiana… she sings ok. But she s annooooing person… I can’t stand her!

    Go CASEY CARLSON!!!I really hoped that Cody Sheldon makeit but i guess he didn:(! But still CASEY AND MCGEE(NATE)

  18. thalyn wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    I’m glad Megan made it! I’m just wondering why there’s not much exposure of her, she’s absolutely one of the best. Her voice is very distinct, one in a million..

  19. bob wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    von smith, tatiana and nathaniel purely made it to the top 36 to increase tv ratings. shame there were other talented singers like leneshe young, deanna brown, michael castro and justin williams.

  20. creaturepa wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    Well, we all better hope this list is somehow incorrect. Because if it is not, that means the judges chose Tatiana and “Normund Gentle” over Danny’s BFF Jamar Rogers. What am I missing? Jamar is not listed anywhere here, and he is easily one of the 3 best singers I’ve heard this season. Criminal.

  21. Stephanie wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    this list really sucks, are you sure that this is the real top 36? i hope not, normund gentle should not be in there! and theres alot of people that shouldnt be there aswell! where’s cody sheldon, he was really good, he should be in there?!!!! so should alot of other people! earlier in the hollywood round the judges said that the talent get bigger and bigger every season, and it gets harder and harder. if there is more talent then why dont they put it up there? some of these people are really good, but there are alot of them that have no chance of winning so why are they being put in the top 36? give the spotlight to someone that could actually win! i mean please, come on this is by far going to be the worst season every of american idol!!! sorry i dont mean to trash my favorite show, it just really disappointing this year!

  22. Stephanie wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    This list really sucks!!!! there are alot of people and should have made the list and didnt! wheres cody sheldon?
    and there are alot of other people that did make the list and it was clearly because of tv ratings!!!
    that really sucks, i can tell you right now that im not the only one that is really mad right now. i know that its way toooooo late for this but maybe you guys should re-think what you have just done, and then watch your show suffer because of it!!!!
    im sorry this is my favorite show and i dont mean to trash it, but the turnouts where very disappointing!

  23. Stephanie wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    i love this list! jk

    Jamar gets let off tonight. with a sad musical montage after

  25. Leyna G. wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    Tatiana needs to go home. Some people who actually deserve it went home and NORMAN is still there? how is that right at ALL? I liked the guy who sounded a little like Elliott Yamin. Anyway American Idol is making me angry letting in all these incompatent people.

  26. Ashley V wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    Sooo Mad That They Have Tatiana In there But Got Rid Of Jamar! He Deserves to Be there!! Not Her!!

  27. joann wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    Are they having a wild card this year? Where is Jamar????? He was a really great singer with a different style. Disappointed that he isn’t one of the top 36. He needs to be reconsidered.

  28. Amy A wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    i cant beleive Lacy Brown did not make it and Tatiana did. Could there be a more annoying person? ummmm…. I think not.

  29. Carol H. Rice wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    Yes there is so many good ones, but Jasmine Murray will make the top 12 I hope. She is a very good singer.

  30. Carol H. Rice wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    There are so many good ones this year. I can’t wait until we can vote. They get better each year.

  31. Karin wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    What happened to the Osmond guy? He was really good!

  32. Patricia O wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    I am somewhat content with the top 36 but I am in awe as to why Jamar did not get picked and Tatiana did. She is soooooo annoying. Jamar was a really good singer. What are these judges looking for. Maybe it guess it doesn’t pay to go to audition with a friend. Love Danny though.

  33. Kelsey wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    My overall favorites made it!
    1. Adam
    2. Matt G.& Danny
    3. Stevie
    4. Scott
    Really really bummed about Jamar (Danny’s friend) though. I thought he was very good. There’s a lot of talent this year! I don’t like this new thing they’re doing though. I think they said that in the next 3 weeks these different groups are going to perform and only the top 3 vote getters from each group will move on to the top 12, then the judges pick 3 they want. Correct me if I’m wrong. So if 4 of your favorites are in one group at least one of them will definitely be going home unless the judges save them. Any way I think the reason Tatiana and Norman made it was because they want to get the best people into the top 12 and the likeable ones they cut that didn’t have that great of a voice might have been put through because of their personalities. And we all know Tatiana and Nick (even though he cracks me up… won’t vote for him though) will not get votes! Especially Tatiana! Oh my gosh I cannot stand listening to her sqeeling cries! What a freakin baby! And when your done with your song stop singing for good! No one cares how you sing because we are way to overwhelmed by your personality! Seriously if brains were taxed she’d get a refund! I think AI is going to have a new leader for least amount of votes! Of course her family is going to be voting away because they don’t want her to come home! I know that’s what I would be doing!

  34. grace wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    axually it WAS TOP 38 . one of them who made it thru thats not listed is Jamar Rogers while i kinda forget the other one .

  40. Karen wrote on 11. Feb 2009

    Not a bad list, but there is definitley cannon fodder in there, there are obvious some that are not going to make it to the top 12 to make it easy for the voters.
    Hope they bring Jamar back for the wild card.. he deserves it. Speaking of wild card; glad they brought that back.

  41. Arielle wrote on 12. Feb 2009

    go mishavonna!!!!!!!!my favorites for the season are adam, arriana, scott, jasmine and casey..

  42. Princess Jan wrote on 12. Feb 2009

    Tatiana In and Jamar out?????? Ludicrous! I can’t stand her as there were many others who are better than she is…….maybe they are worried that she might commit suicide ( a total emotional wreck) if she wasn’t chosen for the top 36!!!

  43. Karl Mikel wrote on 12. Feb 2009

    hey! whats with tatiana, nate, von and some people??!!!
    why are they in??!!
    friggin’ crap!!! hope frankie jordan is in, so as jackie (the guy, mcgee fought on a face-off)

  44. Anne wrote on 12. Feb 2009

    Too bad! Michael Castro did not make it through.. :( He is the reason why I was watching season 8.. :( Hopefully next year, next season he can make it through. I’m crossing my fingers. :) I love Jason Castro! :D

  45. Erika wrote on 12. Feb 2009

    I agree with you Stephanie. Cody Sheldon should have been in there. That Trugman guy may sing a wee-bit better, but he has ZERO personality and is BORIIIING!! They made a huge mistake. Also, who wants to see Mr. Fairy Gentle and his sidekick crybaby boy. I’m really disgusted….Erika in PA

    Is Mr. Gentle 28 yrs. or younger? He looks like he’s forty. Someone should investigate his age and put Cody Sheldon in his place. Please help me start a slew of letters to AI convincing them that Cody should replace Mr. Norman 40-year old Gentle. Go act your age, Mr. Gentle!

    My favorite made it–Megan has the AI talent. She is great. I also like Alexis Grace and Jorge Mendez. Jorge has the greatest male voice. I think with a little practice he will go far.

    Why doesn’t Kris Allen have any TV coverage. They keep on showing the same annoying contestants.

    Why does no one like Nick Mitchell? He is original, and sort of an experiment. They have not let people like him in in the past, and I think it is good that they are this time.
    I actually think he has a really good voice, and he is hiliarious. I have no doubts that he will make the Top 12.
    DO NOT PUT HIM IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS TATIANA.
    She deserves her own planet.
    Nick actually has talent.

    I ADORE Nick! He’s not in the same group with Tatiana. Tatiana is in the first group that performs on Tuesday.

    Ok. The only actual reason im watching it this year is cuz of Michael Costro. Too bad he didnt made the cut. Damn happy cuz adam and nate got in !!! i lov to watch nate, he is such a drama queen ! WTF !!! How can tatiana got in ?? she is f-ing annoying !!!!

  55. Dani wrote on 13. Feb 2009

    YAY! I’m SO happy Stevie made it. She’s amazing, especially for a 16-year-old. And I can’t believe Tatiana is still in the competition, she’s such a drama queen and SO anoying.

    BTW, can someone explain to me the whole group thing? Do the judges chose or the audience? And where can I see what the groups are?

  56. Kari wrote on 13. Feb 2009

    Danny is the BEST. Jasmine, Lil, and Matt are also my faves.

    Go Casey and Jesse from The Gopher State!

    I feel like Idol didn’t want Jamar with his BFF because he could have easily made the top 12. Tatiana??? AYKM? (Are you kidding me?)

    I so glad Scott Douglas MacIntyre made it through to the top 36… he’s soooo talented despite of having eye defect…. i salute you…. i hope you will make through to the next rounds…..

    they replaced joanna pacitti with felicia barton.
    joanna was replaced because she already had a record deal, which was kinda confusing because the judges already knew this before they accepted her after her audition and even during hollywood week. and now they just replaced her… hmmm.

  63. metalingus wrote on 15. Feb 2009

    Nope, blankpixels, Joanna was disqualified because she’s best friends with Michelle Young, one of the producers which also suck since they probably did background checks way before as we..
