Yes but not the way Adam or Daughtery could. While James is one of my favs his voice is not as strong but he is very entertaining!


I could not believe what was up with Iggy Pop that was horrible and hideious

Constantine runined one of my top all time favorite songs . I didn't really like that arrangement. Maybe it's just me.

I couldn't agree more. I fast-forwarded it before he got into the second bar. He has a pretty good body for a man his age though!



So, NOW do you believe that I am a jynx? Pia was in my top three!

His voice isn't as strong...but, he does stay on pitch ......some of these with strong voices end up screaming....

Carrie Underwood wasn't much of a performer when she was at the same stage of the competition as Pia...I don't know I just don't think she was given enough time to evolve. She was only bottom three once and got eliminated...just my two cents.

Yes, but the judges had been telling Pia over the last few weeks that she needed to command the stage......

Carrie had the cute, country factor.....with the South behind her, when someone is from the South...well, they'll keep the voting up...

That is absolutely true. I do agree that Pia wasn't much of a performer (and didn't have the country factor), I guess I just feel for her because I'm extremely shy/stage fright and I can just tell that she was absolutely trying her best and took everything with such grace and poise. I read on E! that she was an absolute emotional wreck after the show on stage...she took it bravely in front of the audience and then shriveled up when the cameras stopped rolling. I think she tries to hide her insecurities and appears stoic and impenetrable, which is why the American audience couldn't relate to her/understand. :(

roseylovestosho 04-08-2011 07:39 AM

A bunch of stars tweeted that they were upset with the elimination as well...LOL I thought it was cute!

Her stoic quality did not endear her to the American Public...sad, but most people don't understand that is a facade......a wall.....That and her being from the east coast....mmmmm, everyone thinks tough girl...

Exactly...I hope she can one day break from her insecurities and just lets it out on stage. It's extremely difficult to get out of your own head sometimes...I can't recall who did you say your favorite was? I really like Paul McDonald, but seeing as a previous YTer said that he has issues with his vocals/needs surgery I don't think he'll make it very far either.

Brooklynn 04-08-2011 08:01 AM

I think she knew she was a strong contender in this competition and had a good chance to win it and was just as shocked as Daughtery was with the elimination too soon! But Daughtery commanded the stage, Pia didn't.

Nancy1999 04-08-2011 09:42 AM

Does Pia remind anyone else of Lea Michele from Glee?

Bellasmom30 04-08-2011 10:29 AM

My opinions differ so much from everyone on here. Oh well, that's what makes AI so interesting.

Everyone I thought would be in the bottom 3 based on performances, were.
Last night my dh said "you've already seen this or something!" It's a LIVE show! :rolleyes:

Anywho, I was not expecting it to be Pia though going home. I honestly thought Stefano was leaving.

Unlike most here, I love Paul! Also, James (I suspect he will win) and Lauren.
My dh's favorite is Haley.
I used to love Casey and Jacob. Casey has a versatile voice, but I'm getting tired of him for some reason. Jacob just sounds too Gospel or something.
It gets repetitive.

Pia is gone because she lacked stage presence. Nothing more, nothing less IMO. No doubt about it, her voice is phenomenal! I feel for her having stage fright as I could NEVER get up there and sing! Then again, I'm not trying out to become a singer/artist. I'm sure they all get nervous, but it is something that has to be overcome in that profession.

mom of 3 dogs 04-08-2011 11:02 AM

does anyone here vote? , i have not voted. and does it cost to vote?

Suze225 04-08-2011 11:23 AM

I have voted in years past. I haven't yet voted this year. No it doesn't cost to vote!!! I have heard you can vote up to 50 times online for free as well!!! Might have to vote next week!!!!

I personally like Jacob. James is my second favorite, but I just dont' think he has IT!!! Adam Lambert had IT.....and has done pretty well, but to me James just doesn't quite have the stage presence. (I do not however believe Jacob will win, due to his 'gospel' quality to his voice, but going by TALENT alone, I believe he has the best voice out there this year.')

mom of 3 dogs 04-08-2011 11:34 AM

oh, i am going to start voting for my favorites, James and Casey and maybe the girls too.

I loved Adam Lambert on Idol, but I have not been a fan of his since he left the show. I think I will like James even after Idol. They are similar in many ways, but there is something about the emotion in James that gets to me when he sings. Adam definitely has emotion, but I am not sure how much of that is from his acting career before idol. Like someone else said, for the new group a lot of that will come with experience.

JesStang 04-08-2011 03:03 PM

I am angry and sad about Pia leaving!! Ridiculous!

RONLYNN 04-08-2011 03:24 PM

Pia did sing great and lacked some stage presence but it has NOTHING to do with that!!! Once you get to the top 13 it's all based on calling and people who live on the edges don't vote....it's been proven every year. People in the South call. The winner will probably be from the South....happens every year!!!

Stefano, Haley, Jacob, Casey will all go in the next weeks.
James is iffy because although he is from CA (a state that doesn't vote - he has a disability so that crosses all states so he will probably stay a little longer).
In the end it will probably be Lauren, Scotty & Paul purely based on where they live - high calling states.

I agree with you Ronda, the South does usually vote!! I did love Pia but I think also that if she wasn't quite as beautiful people would have liked her more!! Very beautiful women that are shy come across as aloof and stuck up, that's just what people usually think. So, if Pia was more girl-next-door like Carrie Underwood maybe she would still be on the show!! Just my 2 cents worth!! Believe me that's all it's worth!!:D

i like Hailey alot but my favorite is James :)

Lou 04-09-2011 06:32 AM

I don't think it is possible for anyone to predict a winner this year! They are all so very talented. I would be crushed if Jacob won because I truly do not like his style. I think he waaaaayyyy over does it. As far as the sound and quality of his voice goes Scott has it hands down, but I don't like country. Casey has the cute factor and you know you will be entertained by him. Haily growls too much but her voice is great. Stefano can sound incredible but he isn't consistent and doesn't have a good stage presence. I never have liked screaming singers so James is out for me. I didn't like Adam either. Paul is, as I said before, a Johnny one note. I was sorry to hear about his throat problems and hope he doesn't overdue it. By the way, does anyone remember what happende to Julie Andrews? Scary. Did I leave anyone out?

Lou 04-09-2011 06:33 AM

Oh yeah, Lauren - bland!

MauiGirl 04-09-2011 09:43 AM

Now that Pia is gone, I truly don't have a favorite. I'm also not a country fan, nor a wild rock fan, and for me right now it is just boring. They could draw straws to pick the winner at this point, it wouldn't matter.

They all do have talent though, and everybody this season has recording potential, so more time on AI will give them more exposure.

roseylovestosho 04-09-2011 11:17 AM

As somebody already previously mentioned, Pia was already getting offers for contracts. It appears as if she already signed and will start working on an album ASAP!

jeanm1963 04-09-2011 12:35 PM

I LOVE AI but I have to say I thought Pia would end up getting voted off, I liked her but I just dont think " kids" could relate to her, she was a GREAT singer but I just dont see kids listening to Ballots, and IMO she was NOT good trying to sing ROCK, I think if she would have been able to Move Like Brittany, Gwen Stefanni, or Jennifer, girls & boys would have related to her more, Kids, teens and alot of others dont like Celine Dion type music , if she moved , danced, and related to a " younger" audience I think she would have won.
I also dont really have a favorite this year!;)

alaskayorkie 04-09-2011 03:05 PM

I think Pia's gonna have a great career. She wasn't my favorite, but I thought her exit was a week or three premature.

Sookie 04-12-2011 08:30 AM

Pia had a great voice but wasn't interesting to watch IMO.
