the women are definitely stronger as a group than the men. there are a few that have definite potential, although i wonder if there is a chance that any of the guys will make it to win...

and i have to wonder if there might be any shocking upsets like last season..

Tampen  Pro User  says:

Now here at last is a thread we can really get our teeth into. I was beginning to give up hope that FlickrCentral could ever generate an authentic cultural debate about a matter of international aesthetic importance.

The real question, of course, is how that Sanjaya kid has managed to survive this deep into the competition when he plainly can't sing.

The main theory seems to be that he is winning the granny vote, because he is cute and vulnerable (like a bunny caught in your headlights).

I think there is a more sinister subplot.

He is of course of Asian extraction, although no-one is allowed to mention this. I'm betting that his support network extends to all those calling centres in Bangalore, where he has clearly planted thousands of relatives who are busy rigging the vote.

I realise that some will view this as a racist observation, but the alternative explanation - that he is such a good singer he deserves to be voted through - is patently risible.

I can't wait to see what happens next.

I like both Lakisha and Melinda's voices but the scales tip in Lakisha's favor for me. When I saw Melinda's bit on how she has had 2 professionals working with her from her first audition, mapping out her clothes and hairstyles, that kinda turned me off. Lakisha has a genuine "undiscovered talent in joe average form" about her and that's the thing that appeals to me most about American Idol.

@Tampen, that's what we all felt too. i guess the diaspora gang-up maybe the cause. i am going to miss sundance on the show.
.....@striatic, enigma arcana, stargazer95050 and Tampen: perhaps a point is being made here. i mean, just consider the poor response to matters photographic, which should be closer to the spirit of flickr, such as at www.flickr.com/groups/central/discuss/72157594573163075/

@Doug Nicholson:
You mean Timbaland?

"In 2000 the Finnish demoscene musician Janne Suni (also known as 'Tempest') won the Oldskool Music Competition at the Assembly demoparty with his four-channel Amiga .MOD entitled 'Acid Jazzed Evening.' A Commodore 64 musician called 'grg' remade the song on the C64 (using the infamous SID soundchip); it is this that was stolen. The producer's name is Timbaland and he is one of the hottest names in American music these days. The track in question is called 'Do it' and it is featured on the Nelly Furtado album 'Loose' on the Geffen label. Getting nowhere with Geffen, the demoscene has now risen to the aid of Tempest, first by creating a stir at SomethingAwful (files downloadable from the forum), then at Digg.com, then on YouTube, with a video demonstrating the blatant ripoff. Being an online-posting musician myself — what rights do I have if this should ever happen to me, and what can be done to raise awareness about such things?"

OK why is a Thread about American Idol tolerated by FC admins? If the reasons for locking threads is adhering to the group guidelines and focusing on either flickr or photography why isn't this one locked? Could it be those random arbitrary locking standards which are vary depending on the mood of the admin when they logged in on a given day?

I can't believe that Sanjaya is stil on the show! Did you see last time when he did the hula? Help us all! He's this season's Jasmin Treas!

Melinda Doolittle will win. I also like that Blake Beatbox kid.

even if Lakisha does'nt win the competition i'm sure she has earned herself an extremely lucrative record deal.

I think she's a sure thing but as a dark horse I would pick stephanie.
