Separated at birth? **American Idol warning**
Edited on Wed May-25-05 11:48 AM by Jessica
I'm a Bo fan - but I'm worried Carrie just might pull this one out. We already have so many Carries ... the world needs Bo!

2. Sick -
My daughter had me watching this with her just for grins for about 10 minutes last night. We both agreed - sick.
Just for an experiment, try humming one of the tunes you heard -
Coming up blank?

5. I forgot to vote...
I tried, but the number was busy... I told myself I'll try later, then forgot... if Bo loses, you know who to blame! :P

I hope Bo wins because Carrie's so *boring*!

8. I like Bo too...
but for his sake I hope he loses...he'd do much better now without being beholden to Idol.

9. I think the entire top 12 are bound to a contract.
Could be wrong. I heard that's why that one guy .... Mario something ... left so early.

23. Judging by the way he performed last night, he may have just sabotaged
himself.... of course, they both sucked last night, but Bo usually doesn't. Oh well.

24. I disagree.. I thought they were both pretty good
Edited on Wed May-25-05 01:51 PM by mvd
Carrie's had some performances I didn't get at all, like her rendition of Shania's "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" None like that last night, for me at least.

28. They both strained and sang flat in all of their songs...
and I could hardly even listen to Carrie's last song.

30. I didn't hear it that way
Edited on Wed May-25-05 02:27 PM by mvd
I thought they gave it their all. Carrie had some bad notes on the first song and was a bit mechanical on the third. But all three were sung nicely. Carrie really nailed the chorus of Independence Day. I had no problems with Bo's singing. The first song wasn't a great choice for Bo, but he made me like it.

12. Yeah.
I think it's on for 2 hours - which is freakin ridiculous.

11. I don't see the similarity between the two
Edited on Wed May-25-05 12:49 PM by mvd
Other than they are both blonde, young, and pretty. That said, a rocker would be something different. I hope Bo wins. I got in some Bo votes at the end of the voting period.

14. Not at all to me
Edited on Wed May-25-05 01:04 PM by mvd
The face shapes aren't even the same. The smiles look a little alike - maybe that's what is throwing people off.

Anyway, they are both attractive and seemingly intelligent, so the more the merrier. :-)

15. I think it is the smile ... the teeth.
My point was what you said in your original post - they're both young, blonde & pretty. Boooorrrriiing. Been there. A rocker would be much more refreshing. :)

16. In that case, I agree
Edited on Wed May-25-05 01:10 PM by mvd
The teeth are similar. Bo would be a different kind of AI winner. It's not a beauty contest.

17. Only thing that really looks similiar is
their chin and hair. Reese is a great actress though. Plus I think she's democratic. ;) I saw a photo of her at the Kerry movie premiere. Just search in yahoo under images and you can see her walking in to see the movie. :)

20. I agree. They have similar features, like hair, etc.
But they don't really look alike.

21. I think they're fairly equal
Edited on Wed May-25-05 01:45 PM by mvd
I've known about Reese for longer, so she gets the edge.

19. Here's my protest vote for Constantine!


It's all a sham! Connie is the real winner!

29. I think if you found a younger picture of Reese
you would see more of a resemblence.

I want Bo to win! Carrie has a very pretty voice, but so do alot of other women.
