last night paula was late for the judging and throughout the whole show you could never really get eye contact with her. at one point they had ryan sit in and judge while she was greeting people outside (but they didn't really show that either). i might be a late bloomer but WAS SHE DRUNK? i know there have been mentions of this in the past but last night really got to me. she might as well not have been there for all she was worth. when she was judging she was like rolling her head on the table, practically. just curious and wonder how they can get away with that.

I am watching it. Very funny, some people forget their good sense at home.

It's a funny show. Let's see what happens today

Yes, I thought she acted either high or drunk. It was obvious that she wasn't herself.

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
I enjoy American Idol. My husband doesn't watch until it gets down to the final 10.
I was thinking (before last night) that Paula was acting as sane as I've ever seen her.

Did you guys see the little man who sang his own original?

"I AM YOUR BROTHER, YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR EBA. SINGING SONG, THE MUSIC THAT YOU LIIIKE".

He was so cute.
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine.

:lol: :lol:

I dont remember that one.

I remember one long haired guy who was singing his own music too. and he gave something to Paula.

I laugh so much watching American Idol, some people are nonsense.

Did anyone see 17 yr. old David Archuleta's version of Imagine? Just saw it on Youtube. Probably the best rendition of the song, next to John singing it himself that I've ever seen. Truly was brilliant.

I saw it and he is excellent for a 17 year old. I think he may just win, don't you? I typically prefer the rockers but this kid is GOOD!!

David Archuleta has been a favorite from the beginning for me. He bears an uncanny resemblence (both in personality and looks) to my sons late best friend.
I love his voice.
I hope he goes far.

I posted this in a different section but did you see that they are releasing the Lennon/McCartney songbook for American Idol and the music will be featured on the week of March 11th? I'm pretty sure that's what I heard! It should be interesting. It would be cool if Paul made a surprise guest appearance but I kind of doubt it. In fact, I strongly doubt it!!!

Maybe there is already a thread on this....but anyone watching AI? The group of 12 had the Lennon/McCartney songs opened to them to sing! It was a good show this week, and I absolutely loved David Cook who sang "Eleanor Rigby."

Anyway, it's been so popular that they have extended it to include another week of their songs.

I think if I were a contestant I'd cry just even trying to sing my fav Macca song...

How did you feel about the blonde gal singing "Let It Be" at the piano? I dunno, all I could do was see Paul's face sitting behind the piano. Simon loved it. I thought it was just okay. :yawn:

I missed it but did see some clips from it. I hope I see it next week.
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN

I really wasn't impressed. I think I have a hard time with anyone who tries to sing a Beatles tune. Are they really extending it to next week? Interesting.

Yep, they are. I am not very much in favor of this. I can't help but think that Sony ATV sold them out. I hate the fact that it is them and Michael Jackson profitiing off of this. Just pisses me off to no end.

I did watch the show but was not all that pleased with most of the singing. Just not a good idea in my book.

There already is a thread on this here - but an American Idol thread would ordinarily belong in the 'I'd Love To Turn You On' section anyway! ^_^
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

I hated it, too....BUT I thought if they slowed it down to a much slower beat, it could've been a halfway decent re-make into a country western sound.

Chekizee (sp?) changed his song up and did great!

I hope the nurse/biker chick picks something she can do better next week..."Get Back" or maybe "Helter Skelter" or something! Is is just me, or does she remind you of Lisa Marie Presley? :blink:

She just bugs me. If she is patterning herself with Janis Joplin, whom I love, she needs to branch her music out more. Even Janis did ballads and not just hardcore blues/rock!

I'm glad "Beatles" week is now over. I have a hard time watching people butcher John and Paul's songs. Its painful.

Yeah, she was pretty one dimensional. And her smile was so fake. It looked like it hurt her to do it.
