American Idol thread for week of 5/17

[jasonHoldEm]

3 songs tonight, judges pick one song for each contestant, Clive Davis (special guest and record company poo-bah) picks one song for each contestant, and the contestants each pick a song for themselves.

So far the following has been confirmed ( http://et.tv.yahoo.com/micro/idol/20...nidol_preview/ )

Carrie -> "Man, I feel like a woman" (Shania Twain, Judges pick) and "Cryin" (Roy Orbison, Clive's pick)

Bo -> "(Can't get no) Satisfaction" (Roling Stones, Judges pick) and "Don't let the sun go down on me" (Elton John, Clive's pick)

Vonzell -> "On the radio" (Donna Summer, Judges pick) and "I'll never love this way agin" (Dionne Warwick, Clive's pick)

(begin speculation)

Bo performed "Sweet Home Alabama" during his hometown concert this week, here is a direct link to the footage ( http://webpages.charter.net/peipers/Bo%20Bice.wmv ) I'm really hoping he sings this song as his choice tonight as I think he'd kill with it.

Have fun kids...

Is there gambling on this stuff via the internet or something?

Yes, at several different sites. There are a number of 2+2'rs who have quite a bit at stake.

thanks again jason. where do you cull this info? i think idol is on right now where i am (CST).

Yeah, there may be a few 2+2'ers betting on this. If BO wins, it covers my Vegas WSOP expenses. If he loses - he's a***ing bum! {typical gambler, huh?}

I think your expenses may have just been covered. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not a big fan of Bo but taking that chance and nailing it makes him safe this week and gets him a shot next week IMO.

As for the other two, I think Carrie was better the first song but Vonzell was better the second song.

Bo just went balls out and NAILED it.....he IS the next IDOL

I was just thinking the same thing. He just won it. I can't sell after that.

Not that it was her fault, but Vonzell got absolutely crushed tonight

[Miscreant]

Bo definately makes it .. I think Vonzell is a good buy tonight, she will likely lose but she is better odds than a buy at 6 and if Carrie goes home she jumps up at least 20 - 25.
