[chebingeo]

Gee, I wonder who's gonna advance...

[No Brake$]

I don't know, I guarentee that Madonna probably will not advance, most people just support their favorite artist, and their is quite a variety of talented performers in this category. Anyways, performances will be updated tonight around 10:00 or so, so that's when voting will start, and will end on Wednesday Evening following the Grand Final on American Idol. See ya at 10.

Stacie should sing "I Promise". That song is so American Idol.

[No Brake$]

For all of you expecting the performances, they will be up tomorrow night, sorry about the wait. Extremely busy weekend. However, voting will still end at 11pm Wednesday, when the new group is announced and performances will be up by thursday night, sorry about the wait, take it easy.

Totally Agree On This One! :)

[No Brake$]

Well, after a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG wait due to some technical difficulties, Superstar Idol is back and ready to attack. Last week we saw Shirley Manson sing her way into the finals, and Rob Thomas find his way to the wild card round in a few weeks. We have yet to have a male winner, but it's not about who you are, it's about what and how you're singing. We have quite a competitive group this week simply singing "pop". Well enough with the commentary let's get to the contest, performing first tonight is Ms. Mary J. Blige, let's go...

Mary J. Blige- Family Affair
Crowd Ranking:8
Judges Comments-

Randy: "Mary, you look great as usual, how do you feel that went?"
MJB: " Ha! Pretty damn hot!"
Randy: "I thought it was aight. I mean, it just doesn't seem like you were feeling it like other people have out there, but it was't bad...we'll see what happens dog"

Paula: "Mary, I thought that was really good, you go girl"

<cheers>

Simon: "Mary I'll be honest. I thought it was not good at all.."
<boos>
MJB: laughs
Simon: "I mean, we all knew you would be singing that song, and we all had high expectations, and now we all know to keep them lowered"

Seacrest: Well Simon, I wish you knew the expectations I had for you....ha! Well all of you know what to do if you want to vote for Mary, next up is a crazy animal I'd like to introduce to you....Seal!

Seal- Love's Divine
Crowd Rating:1
Judges Comments-

Randy: "Yo yo yo yo yo yo, that is one song that should have not been that exciting, and that was hot! I feel bad for the others tonight, Seal, that was hot dog!"
<cheers>

Paula: "I have to say, that was one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen this early in the competition, that was just....beautiful"
<CHEERS>

Simon: "That is what this competition is all about. If you do not find yourself at least in the wild card round, the voters have failed. Well done"
< CHEERS>

Ry: Woah! 3 out of 3? Unheard of, excellent job, well Seal is gonna be tough to follow up, maybe the beautiful Ms. Orrico can do it, can she? Let's see

Stacie Orrico- I Promise
Crowd Rating-2
Judges Comments-

Randy: "I have a feeling that this is gonna be a great show tonight, because we have just had another great performance dog. I liked it a lot Stacie"

Paula: "Stacie....you have a voice that needs to be heard"

< Cheers >

Simon: "Apparently Paula and Randy got confused with your performance on the Mickey Mouse Club, or maybe it was me."
<BOOOO>
"Stacie, you are too immature for this competition. The performance wasn't bad, you are just too young, I mean, that is something I would expect to see that performance on America's Most Talented Kid...."

Seacrest: So was it good or....

Simon: "Yes, good for Radio Disney"
< BOOOO >

Seacrest: "ugh, that Simon. Well hopefully your fans will dig you out of this one...well coming up next, we all know her for her wild videos, no, not Christina yet, but it's Missy Elliot!!!!

Missy Elliot- Gossip Folks
Crowd Rating:3
Judges Comments-

Randy: "Whooo, Missy, that was H-O-T, you're keeping up with a tough competition we have going tonight, definitely one of the best female performers anywhere right now dog. That was great"
< CHEERS >

Paula: "Missy, that was just wat were looking for, a good time, awesome"

Simon: "Some will say that great, and some will just say that was just plain awful. I'm the one to tell you tonight, that that was absolutely terrible. You we're just yelling and talking, no singing involved"

<BOOOOOOO>
Missy: "Psshhhhhh, you just hate rap"
"I don't mind rap, I just hate crap. That...was crap"

Seacrest- "Well what do you recommend that Missy does to improve"

Simon: "Learn to sing"
< boooooooooooooo >

Seacrest: Well it looks like the crowd is on your side Missy, and that's all that counts. Well were halfway through the competition and have two divas and two rockers to go, who's next? How about a guy named Brad Arnold!

Brad Arnold- Be Like That
Crowd Rating-7
Judges Comments:

Randy: "Brad, how you feeling dog?"
Brad: "I'm on Superstar Idol, not bad"
Randy: "haha, well dog....I don't know...I mean I didn't think it was bad, but compared to the other artists tonight...not much to the performance, you really didn't move or anything, the voice sounded all right, but dog, we need some movement"

Paula; "Brad, I love some of your songs, and I love that one, you just need to focus on the performance part, that's all"

Simon: "I agree with the both of them. You look paralyzed on the stage, I had to ask Paula if you were dead or not. It was as if a puppet with a moving mouth was on stage"

Seacrest: "Well you know, i haven't seen someone get yelled at about their movement in a while. Isn't this a singing competition? Well we'll see. Up next, is the beautiful, dirrty, Ms. Aguilera!"

Christina Aguilera- Can't Hold Us Down
Crowd Rating:4
Judges Comments-

Randy: "I don't know what happened Christina, but that was one of the most dissapointing performances I've seen in a while dog...that was just awful. Your voice was pitchy, you weren't hitting notes, no no no, tonite was just not you night dog"

<BOOOOOOO>

Paula: "Christina, I always thought you have had one of the best voices but honey....you were just struggling up there"

Christina: "better than you"

Paula: "This isn't the Mickey Mouse Club honey"

<ooooooooooooh>
Christina: grins

Simon: "Christina I can't sing, but I can tell you this, that was dreadful. The best part of the whole song, was when it was over."

Seacrest: "Wow, things are getting hot in here. Well the crowd seemed to like it, however, will it be as much as our next artist, the classic, the only, Madonna"

Madonna- Love Profusion
Crowd Rating:6
Judges Comments:

Randy: "I hate being a judge because sometimes you have to critique people you don't want to. But putting into consideration who you are, terrible song choice dog, just being fair, no one knows it, and it's not a good song, I do like the guitar you brought out to play though"

Paula: "What can I say, just poor song choice"

Madonna: "I just wanted to offer something new"

Simon: "Madonna, you have hundreds of songs to choose to sing tonite, and you choose Love Profusion....the only thing you offered that was new, was a new song to send you out of this competition. I'm sorry, it just wasn't that special"

Seacrest: Madonna, you're one of the best, and I'm sure the crowd will agree. Well, last but not least, here is our good friend Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls...

< Madonna hands over the guitar >

Johnny Rzeznik- Sympathy

Randy: "Dog, it's pop night! Not MTV's Unplugged night, but that wasn't bad. You have a good voice, and maybe that was a good song to show that for....I don't know about this acoustic business though, but it was all right for me dog"

Paula: "That was unique, and I loved it!"

<CHEERS>

Simon: "Johnny, interesting way to go tonight. The problem is however, do you have what it takes to beat the other "rockers", we already have Chris and Rob in there, and I just don't know if their is room for another...."

Seacrest- Well it's been a wild show tonite, however, now it's up to you to see who moves on! Vote A.S.A.P. because

[bluenote]

Madonna coulda picked a better song but she's the best!!!

[No Brake$]

The more I look at this group, the more I feel that it is extremely weak. I mean, I don't know. The weeks before had a lot more balance.

[Gorminako]

Seal. Best voice. Best singer.

I have to agree on that one. I thought that Johnny had a great performance. GRRR at Randy Jackson >:(

[Bob]

I mean, Simon was dumb tonight. Missy DOES know how to sing. He just does hate rap. Hataaaaaaah

I voted for Mary though-- the crowd doesn't know what's up, it was awesome (should have done No More Drama tho)

[Deleted]

The Mary and Madonna personalities are way off. ;)

I voted for Mary.

[No Brake$]

poor brad.

[reception]

Seal

[No Brake$]

How does Orrico have this much support?

[No Brake$]

VOTING WILL END TONIGHT FOLLOWING AMERICAN IDOL, WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT IS STEALING MUCH OF THE ATTENTION THIS WEEK FOR SUPERSTAR IDOL, AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN SHORTENED.....CORRECTION, I GUESS VOTING WILL END TOMORROW AT 1.

[benmcd2000]

I voted for Stacie....she is the future of pop music!

[No Brake$]
