John vs. Oscar: American Idol Top 9 Elimination Predictions - Page 2

JazzyJake · 04-02-2008, 12:28 PM

Ramiele must be approaching The Sanjaya Limit* so I boldly predict that she's in the Bottom 3. My prediction:

7) KLC

Ramiele

9) Syesha - once again a Whitney rehash sends one home

* That point in the season where the field has narrowed enough that a dedicated block of voters can no longer keep a bad contestant afloat.

If I could, I'd send Syesha and Brooke home for committing the cardinal sin: smiling during a sad song !!! Arrrgggghhhh, that drives me freaking crazy! Part of singing is interpretation and to smile during Jolene and I Will Always Love You shows that you are clueless. It ruins the whole mood and sinks the performance.

I love Dolly's version of It's All Wrong, But It's All Right. If Johns had copied her resigned, weary interpretation it would have been a disaster, instead his blues take on it was a great rework and a home run.

David C., Michael Johns, and David A. will all avoid the bottom three tonight-no doubt. I'm a little unsure about Brooke, Carly, and Jason, though. I think they can go either way. Syesha (despite her great performance) will probably find herself in the bottom three tonight due to a fan base that seems to be smaller than those of others. I also think that Ramiele's fan base may begin to loose its effect on the competition soon, and that will probably land her in the bottom three tonight. Last year Sanjaya's fan base seemed unstoppable as he avoided the bottom three for a few weeks. Then, boom, he was gone just like that. And, although she did a fair job last night, Kristy will probably be joining them-most likely by default, as Oscar predicted. Of course, we might see a few surprises too.

I have to say that as much as Ramiele has performed subpar considering her lack of experience in the stage arena as opposed to pros like Carly, David(s) and the maturity of Michael and Brooke, she represents the underdog. She is short, cute, non-abrasive and harmless. Talent has never been the forebearer. Besides, don't you think AI wants someone moldable as opposed to a known failure like Carly, independent but copycat David C. and father baggage like David A. If Ramiele gets voted out, its her time. We are all waiting for her to break out. I have heard her studio version (itunes) of Alone and certainly very good compared to the live performance. But so is Madonna live versus on CD.

Only in a America does blond equal success. I can't believe that KLC is still on this show

I GUARANTEE that KLC or Seyesha will NOT be in the bottom three tonight. I think it will be Carly, Jason and Ramielle, with Carly or Jason going home. I love the SANJAYA LIMIT reference. I think Ramielle will hit the bottom three earlier than Sanjaya because Sanjaya had two additional factors going for him; 1. The vote for the worst vote and 2. To a lesser extent than Archuleta, he had female tweener vote.

I dont know but watching Ramiele on stage is addicting. She is destined for greatness but she has to start working really really really hard once she get safe tonight. She has to sing songs that the judges would want to hear from her... BIG SONGS for her BIG VOICE.

BuddyD · 04-02-2008, 03:38 PM

I'd really be surprised if Ramiele doesn't go home, but the eliminations have all been kind of shocking so far. Maybe we'll finally be rid of Kristy Lee, though in my fantasy land it'd be Jason Castro getting the boot.

So nice to see JazzyJake making predictions. I'd wondered what you thought about last night. And I totally agree with you about Brooke and Syesha -- I thought they were both terrible. I thought Syesha was going to pop a vocal chord trying to finish the 'Whitney' part of the song. And like I mentioned earlier -- Brooke was off the pitch and the beat -- and she did look awfully sunny as she asked Jolene not to take her man -- it was like she was really saying -- 'ahh go ahead & take him -- I can share'. I hope Oscar and John's prediction comes to pass. Yes, KLC looked pretty -- yes, she did a pretty good job. But I still don't enjoy watching her perform. And anyone who says 'screw my mama' on national TV -- no matter how tongue in cheek -- deserves to go home.
