Rhonda SG Nope, we're not talking about Artificial Intelligence here but... ... AMERICAN IDOL!! Since a few of us keep talking about the AI in the Jive Pad, I thought we should open a separate thread so more peeps who are interested in this topic can join in the discussion every week! So, come in, folks... and let's quarrel over who deserves to be the next AI!
Rhonda SG av, with your McPhee-ver, where are you? And yes, as I was saying, if McPhee could sing, but had the body of Mandisa, would you still have that McPhee-ver! So, as some of us were suggesting, it's not always about the talent!
av98m SG Wei! If your McPhee could sing, but had the body and looks of Mandisa, would you still have that McPhee-ver? [/b][/quote] Probably not. Its all about the total package. talents, looks, star quality. Ask any record producer. Its not just about the talent. Look at the pop stars on the market today! Not that I have anything against fat black women singers mind you. I've got a whole stack of Ella Fitzgerald CDs! And another set of her duets with Louise Armstrong! McPhee! McPhee! McPhee! V V
jetta SG McPhee, sigh. Bet you Clive Davis is already scheming to get his hands on cutting her first album.
jetta SG Yah you're right. Mandisa is just too, well, big JMHO. Yes she has a good set of pipes but her thighs hurt my eyes leh.
jetta SG I felt this way about Clay too. Gay or not, I like his voice. Too bad Streamie's 2 hours ahead of us. She'd have plenty to say here.
Rhonda SG She's big, yeah... and if she wears the wrong clothes, she can give some of us cardiac arrests! But, well, she can sing! I will buy her album if she releases one, and make that a jazz one, please!
Rhonda SG Hopefully, she selects good songs to sing on her album. I hesitated from buying the albums of Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken cause not all the songs in the album was nice. I did buy the single for Fantasia's song, I Believe, though.
Rhonda SG I think Ace looks dashing, but he's not been performing well. He'll be more of the Ou3 Xiang4 Pai4!
jetta SG You did? Nice? I'm such a Clay fan, have all his albums. Now waiting for McPhee to put one together. Kelly Clarkson has forgotten her AI roots. I'll listen to her over the radio but won't put one cent towards her bank account.
jetta SG She was the first AI crowned. Since her album got big, she acts like she's forgotten how she got up there.
av98m SG Yeah...for some reason she and her band are all the country I can listen to. And her style is actually not purely country, more rojak, I should say. And she has such a beautiful voice. But I think she's had cosmetic work done over the years. I look at the cover of my first alison krauss album many years ago, compared to now, she looks completely different!! She used to look really dumpy.And in fact looked older. But now she's hot!
