Corresponding secretary of the Clay Fan Club checking in (c'mon, we need a name!)...

Is it my imagination, or are the guys doing much better this time around? Ruben was great, sounded like Peabo Bryson (I love Peabo's voice and would happily buy an album by Ruben). Josh had a country thing going on, but it sounded great and it fit his personality. And our boy Clay did wonderfully as usual.

The girls weren't as impressive. Trenyce did a great job and has a great voice, but had too much of the diva thing going on. And I agree with Simon, some of the 'kids' are dressing a little old.

Tomorrow should be interesting. I think Julia, Carmen and Charles will be in the bottom three. Any other predictions?

Ummmm......I already saw it!!! And Clay was fan-tab-u-lous!!!!

(oooppss......was that a spoiler??.......don't look blue!)

I was impressed with Rueben, Clay (of course!), and Trenyce. I didn't care for Rueben before, but really liked him tonight!

Hey Shirley, I think they are taking members for the Official Non-Official TCS Clay Fan Club, as yet unnamed.
I'll go ahead and merge this with our whole thread on American Idol.

Clay was great! I loved what she said about him having a magical appeal!
Ruben was fantastic as well!

I think they are much better singers for the most part than last year's group.

okeefecl - I'm right with ya on the bottom 3 for tomorrow.

i think Julia (who i really like despite her lack of energy and... stage presence), Corey, Kimberley and Kimberley C. (based on performances, none "did" it for me) should be in the bottom three.

but it will probaly be Julia, Charles and Carmen.

though i really liked both Carmen and Charles' performances, and would like to see them improve, along with Julia who i think has such great potential, and a beautiful voice. she really seems to suddenly be lacking faith in herself.. perhaps there is too much pressure, or she is adjusting, or overwhelmed. i've liked her from the beginning and i just feel bad for her.

and why does Paula keep commenting on their 'appearance' ? hello, you're supposed to critique their voices and stage presence !! not how good they look/don't look. sometimes all she did comment on was their appearance, and barely said anything about their performance -- and they're not giving very good advice either to those they're critisizing. though i do agree with Simon that some of them are over-dressed, dressed a little too old (though i think they're just having fun with their sudden 'stardom' and the whole 'diva' thing).

overall, i wasn't enticed by the song pics, though, i did love "What a Feeling" (i used to dance to the Flashdance soundtrack when i was younger) ...

i also didn't really care for Kimberleys performance of "Home." .. i don't know if i like her much, yet.

and it was nice to see Kelly again, her performance was beautiful, and, what a great dress !

definite favourites:
Clay (magical, indeed!)
Trenyce, Rueben and Carmen (i love her unique style).

Stronger singers this time around, many of them finally getting serious. I see a few that are starting to believe the hype around them and they are losing themselves in the process. Reuben has a magical voice-shades of Luther that's for sure. I wonder if the Marine will be dismissed because of duty calling? Clay as always those eyes just sparkle- and his voice does too. Simon may not be tactful in his delivery, but I do agree with most of what he tells these kids.

Christy - What a great idea! A fan club!!! I am so in, and yes, I will certainly be the VP. We do need a name
.

I thought the performances last night were mostly great. Clay of course was wonderful
. I thought Rueben did a fantastic job too. Gotta love songs from cartoons.


I wasn't as impressed with:
Corey, whose voice truly goes right through me.
Charles, I agreed with Randy, I don't think the song was good for him.
Julia, she needs to get a strong dose of confidence and she will do better.


Ok, enough about that, lets go back to Clay.

I was so excited when Simon said he is the one to beat. That gives me such hopes. And my god, the eyes on that boy, he is just adorable. And he seems so nice. And not the fake kind of nice, but the real genuine nice human being nice. And did I mention he is cute?


Did you see how many people had signs for Clay in the audience? The one girl had a sign that said: Clay go to Prom with me. That is so cute. I like when the underdog is doing well.

I LOVE clay!!! I think he is a total doll
dh love him to :LOL: he has so much talent and I think that makes him extra cute! Also it would be great if he wins because that goes to show that you don't have to be what people think is "cute" talent and personality matters. Go clay!!! I loved him since day one! :LOL:

I judge the performances by the "goosebump" factor. Whoever gives me goosebumps did a good job. Last night that was Rueban, Treynice and of course Clay. Corey sounded like he was screaming and Charles was just bad I think the bottom 3 tonight will be Charles, Julia and Carmen with Julia leaving.

Heidi, not a problem. I am just glad that he has supporters who recognize his talent as well!

I think an American idol is just not all looks and voice, he or she must possess a great personality and good aptitude as well.

I remember one episode very vividly: the participants were divided into groups of three, and they were supposed to practice performing as a team. There were two chaps who, instead of practicing with their teammates, went out partying in party town LA. One even made it to the final 12! I was not impressed with his voice as well.
I know Paula likes him, as he tried to swoon her. I feel that charm alone is NOT enough to qualify one to be the best.

I feel an American idol should at least possess some responsible and positive traits. For Clay, he exudes it all. I guess I can only speak for myself. I always like nice guys, anyway.

Cheers!

i can't stand Corey Clarks voice, i just don't see why they all think it's so wonderful


cameron has to leave the room when he sings because the shreiking hurts his ears ! he manages to hit some notes, but, generally, not many.

So, I've got a suggestion for the TCS Clay fan club name...

CSCFC...Cat Site Chicks For Clay...

And of course our motto should be "Dawg, where does that voice COME from?" (with props to Randy).

I was a little disappointed in tonight's results. I think that style won out over substance (even though I think substance was lacking in the bottom 3). I realize that the American Idol should have a certain "look", but as a plus-sized woman, I'm a little tired of "thinness" being equated with "talent". Look at Ruben-he's a way big guy, but no one faults him on his size (why did Simon fault Joshua? He didn't say anything about Ruben-and I think the two most talented performers are Clay and Ruben). The same standard should hold for the girls, too.

Anyways, off of my soapbox. What did y'all think?
