I gotta be honest, I was never a Fantasia fan, but DAMN. That girl sang the eff out of that song. Maybe it was just a great song, but holy moly, she was feelin it. I got the chills. And believe me when I tell you that in general, AI contestants (winners included) do NOT give me the chills.

Geesh -- it was painful admitting admiration for one of these tools. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Great recaps - all of them - you made magic out of the crap that was handed to us this week!

As for the results, I was surprised they could pick only 2 guys that sucked this week but Paul was a definate one to go in my book. He sounded great in the 30 second clip at audition but could not handle a whole song and the no shoe thing was just icky. The other guy sealed his fate when he wore a butt-ugly t-shirt with a target/bullseye on it. I really dont know who should have gone first but neither of those two will be missed as far as I am concerned.

As for the girls, Amy and Nicole were both good first outs. I do think Antoinette (is that her name) might be better than we give her credit for - she just has never sang to a live audience before so maybe things will look up with her next week.

I think most of them should keep their bags packed (ala Survivor - can you just see them with their backpacks and lucky hats waiting in the dog pound for their names to be called).

I am guessing they shouldnt get too comfortable. Its pretty clear after only one week that we have an abundance of female talent and just a couple guys to contend with.

I still think it is amazing that after seeing thousands upon thousands of people at all those auditions, this is the best they could come up with! My son - a senior in high school - sings and is easily as good as some of those guys. There is a girl in his choir who blows almost all those girls out of the water and we are just little mid-western america. Maybe Paula, Randy and Simon are not to blame but I am thinking the initial screeners need to do a better job as to who gets through to sing for the powers that be. Perhaps if they spent more time looking for talent instead of picking the freaks, geeks and wanna-bes out of the crowd, we would have a stronger field of talent at this stage. This cannot be the best of the best of america...can it?

I didn't think the group performance was THAT bad, but again, it's just another song I am totally not familiar with. And I agree with DMW that Fantasia was actually very good.

As for the eliminations, I would have rather have seen Jared go then Paul Kim, and my eliminations on the girls were Alaina and Leslie, so I was way off. I definitely want Alaina gone, so I guess I have to wait another week.

Great recap as always B-Side. That awkward LaKisha moment was hilarious. XD

i really wish nick had gone instead of paul. i actually liked paul's voice. thank god rudy is gone though.

i'm glad nicole left, and even though i liked amy's voice, i don't think she had a chance in hell in the competition.

alaina and antonella need to go.

I agree, Paul shouldve stayed and Jared shouldve been cut. At least Paul has some potential, and a better voice....Aahh, who cares, it's all about dolittle and Sligh, anyway.

I felt kinda bad for Amy Krebs(?). She seems like a cool girl, in spite of her lack of personality. The song for her last performance was so fitting, I thought, and she didn't do half bad.

Fantasia was awesome! I think she's one of the best singers out there. Her performance on idol last year wasnt that great, so it was very nice to see her redeem herself last night.

I'm not even going to get into what Lakisha did, even though it was pretty awkward. It was an honest mistake. Ryan did that too during last years performance by Fantasia when she won and sang "I believe".

Great Recap, but you left out one of my favorite awkward moments thanks to the ever talented Ryan Seacrest. When talking to Quincy Jones about the Color Purple, he totally cut Quincy off when he started to talk about the musical. Show some respect little man!

"Fantasia then sang a song from the aforementioned musical, and afterwards, Paula cried, which made Fantasia cried, and then other people cried, and I hit the fast forward button."

B-SIDE HAVE YOU NO SOUL?!?!!

FYI - votefortheworst.com is backing Sundance and Antonella. According to them the site received nearly 3 million hits this week. SO, perhaps it really is their doing??

READING LESSONS? I wish I had been wearing an astronaut adult diaper when I read that.

The group singing thing on the results show is lame with a capital L. Guess it is some sort of warm-up for the dorky Ford commercials they do later on in the season...

I hate the group songs especially with so many bad singers. Reminds me of an "Up with People" presentation I had to suffer through in grade school.

And why do we have to be tortured by having these really bad singers sing the songs that got them voted off AGAIN. They're always way worse than the original. It's okay later on when the field hopefully gets narrowed to better singers, but for now, it's painful to watch.

I actually can't wait to see how bad Antonella does next week. And I have a feeling that if she wasn't white, all those photos of her on the internet would have gotten her kicked off by now.

I would've liked it if Paul did better, too, but he didn't pick a good song and the whole feet/underwear thing was just weird. Oh well. I wonder if they can somehow redeem themselves next week.

MERAICAN DOLI
CAN I REAM LODI?

I was thinking more like NICE OIL DRAMA!

Or NO ICE, ADMIRAL.

Or DIE, ANAL MICRO!

maybe this will be the downfall of that god-awful singer Antonella. She sucks at singing but thats not all......

http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2007/02/antonella-blowjob-barba.html

I still have faith in Antonella. I don't mind her as much as Alaina.. who is very breathy and quite aware of her beauty. My guy friend affirmed how superficial we are when he said last night, "I hope the hot one doesn't get cut. Then I won't have anyone to look at." Yeah.. okay.

I think Sabrina Sloan looks like Mya, if she straightened her hair. Which I see in the near future. Plus the girl can saaaannngg..!

Paul: "It hurts....it hurts." You suck. You suck.

Amy: Don't even remember you.

Nicole: Look at it this way, you should have been cut before now so you really got further than you should have. (yea- sympathy is not my strong suit.)

Rudy: You should have tried out for the Grease one.

Fantasia - not a fan then and not a fan now. I think Lakisha has a better voice and a cuter daughter.

I actually miss Daniel Powter's "Bad Day," but I guess Daughtry's "Home" is ok.

I can't believe that hideously ugly Fantasia is going to terrorize the broadway stage. Wasn't there a classically trained musical actress looking for a job - that can actually read, act and sing? Blasphemy!

And, whats worse, she was ugly-ing up my TV screen, I think it cracked, she so damn pig ugly.

@ #16: You're the definition of an ass

Okay, here are my picks for the top twelve:

Girls:
Stephanie Edwards
Sabrina Sloan
LaKisha Jones
Gina Glocksen
Melinda Doolittle
Jordin Sparks

Boys:
Chris Sligh
Phil Stacy
Jason "Sundance" Head
Sanjaya Malakar
A.J. Tabaldo
Blake Lewis

Which therefore means that the following should go, in my opinion:
Leslie Hunt
Alaina Alexander
Antonella Barba
Haley Scarnato
Jared Cotter
Brandon Rogers
Chris Richardson
Nick Pedro

But honestly, I don't care. Of the girls, I do care but of the guys the only one that I really like is Chris Sligh. I don't even remember who any of the guys are except for Chris Sligh, Sanjaya, Phil and Sundance. I just got the rest of the names from the Idol website. Shows how impressive they are.

Great recap. I hate AI yet it made me laugh.

The Hitler's Youth caption is hysterical. It almost beats your, "Spare Any Change Guvnah?" screencap with Erika on BBAS.

hockeyman77, I saw those pics of "Antonella" demonstrating her other oral talents, and I don't think that's her. The nose doesn't look right to me, it's not Antonella. It's like when those pics of "Britney Spears" doing the same came out; in the end, it wasn't her, just some college student who resembled her.

I agree with you busybee68. The nose on the girl in the pictures kind of hooks in differently than Antonella's nose. Unfortunately, the resemblance is just too uncanny.

I was reading US Weekly, and there was a small article talking about Idol's Latest Scandals. Who were highlighted? Akron (marijuana possession), Ebony Jointer (roller girl, apparently played once in the LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE along with scantily clad models), and Ashlyn Carr (young girl who made weird faces, she poured SUGAR into her ex-boyfriend's gas take a few months ago). Those seem minute compared to what Antonella has done.... I smell shenanigans.

I think those pictures really are Antonella...ugh...

I was really sad Paul Kim went home. I don't know why people are giving him flak for performing barefoot...if he wants to be barefoot what the hell does that have to do with anything? Why the hell is Toiletbrush Chin still in the competition?? He should have gone home, not Paul!

I'm kind of sad Chaka Kahn singing girl got sent home, even tho her name escapes me right now, I would really have liked to see her do something else.

When Scott Baio was being cut, for some reason the thought that came to my mind was "he probably makes a really good boyfriend." Alas, American Boyfriend, this is not, so he went home.

Just get rid of all the guys now.

Would it be a surprise of AI previously knew about the questionable Antonella pics? History shows they love a good scandal to scare up even more ratings. Actually, in the clothed photos, Antonella looks larger-breasted than the girl in the porn pics, so maybe the porn girl is someone else.

I'm pretty sure it's not Antonella in over half of the pictures. Even so, I'm not sure Idol would disqualify her. They disqualify over straight-up porn like with Frenchie Davis, or if you HIDE past felonies, like with Corey Clark. Other people who had some kind of legal trouble were all up-front about it, so they were never DQed.

I don't get why so many people talk about Alaina's looks... I mean, she's OK looking but sort of plain to me. I must be missing something.

Also, I was convinced Nicholas Pedro would go b/c his performance was so bland - oh well. I won't miss the four that left.

And I feel so bad for Antonella - pretty embarrassing for her. On one of the sites that posted the pics, they said someone just freely emailed it to them and that they knew the guy in the pictures. Nice friends.

B-Side,

That show you were on (Idol Chatter?) was really horrible. You were fine - when they would let you get a word in edgewise. They seemed more interested in themselves than what you had to said.

IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com has these comparison pics that were submitted by "American Idol CSI", to prove that it is not Antonella in the BJ pics:

http://idontlikeyouinthatway.com/pictures/20070226/antonella%20barba%20csi/aicsi.html

B-Side,

I want you to know I watched the WHOLE BLEEDING HOUR of Idol Chat to see you. If it was that painful for me to watch, I can only imagine how painful it must've been to be on it. Ugh!

As "busybee" (#28) said, You were FINE but that Kim Caldwell biatch needs to be strung up by her polyester blonde hair and left to air dry in the wind. Man, I just wanted to ram that big cookie right into her pie hole.

Please, B-side (et al) ~ as TVGasm brings you continued success and fame, do not let it go to head so that you end up vacuous air bags who think farting onscreen and laffing shrilly about equals talent and/or personality. Ugh.

Yeah, never ever again will I subject myself to the pain that was Idol Chat. To have to sit through the whole freaking show just to have those twits basically cut you off mid-sentence was too much.

Idol Chat was a Spencer.
B-Side was a LC.

Hey Roleepolee (#17), guess you're not a Tasia hater? You're the definition of a moron.

Did you see her performance on that Lifetime Movie? Every qualified, trained actress in this country should revolt and riot for that awful performance. Shame!

Incidentally, I'd much rather see Antonella in these dirty, lurid pictures than the queen of the junkyard dogs, Fantasia. We all may turn to stone if that happens.

KH
Not a Tasia fan. Never was. Never will be.

KatiesHole, I understand you're not a fan of her acting. I'm not too fond her her acting abilities myself. I didn't call you an ass cause you're saying Fantasia's a bad singer/actor, but rather, because of the fact that you were talking so much trash about her looks. That's something she cannot control. If you talked trash about her singing or acting, I wouldn't have said a word, but saying all those things about her appearence was really pathetic.

wow, roleepolee, i actually agree with you on something. Let the record state this is the last time that will ever happen.

Lets all join hands and sing KumBaiYaa (sp?) then.

Since when is TVgasm a feel good, politically correct, self esteem builing website?

Perhaps disney.com or DrPhil.com are better places for you.
