Who would you be if you were one of the 'Idol' semifinalists?

Categories: American Idol

Chris_lI don’t know if they’re going to post this, because Idol is totally Slezak’s territory, but I’ve just finished watching my tape of last night’s show and I’ve decided that Chris Sligh is totally my AI doppelgänger.

1. Funny.
2. Kinda schlumpy.
3. Understands that it’s a strategic battle.
4. Probably has a deep repertoire of song choices to draw from.
5. Will not throw himself off a bridge if he gets kicked off.

Yeah. So he’s who I’m identifying with. Share with the class, PopWatchers: If you were one of this season’s contestants, who would you be? And if you were a dog, how would you bark?

    Whit –
    I’m with you all the way on this one. Plus his voice is fantastic. The judges need to bounce on one foot, lean their heads over, and get that water out of their ears.

  • courtney

    Also, he kind of has your glasses. Weeeeeeird.

  • Andrew

    Chris, hands down. Mostly due to the fact that we’re both glasses wearing, overweight, smart asses. I never watched AI after the auditions. Chris is what is keeping my curiosity piqued.

    Whitney, you totally seem like a “hag” so I’m going to say Blake!
    My gay sensibilities go crazy every time I watch his mouth when he talks – SEXY!

    Sundance,
    I’m fat and hairy too. (I can actually sing though)

  • Ms Daisy

    As far as the guys go, I identify with the majority of them…I too have no talent for singing.
    (And I’m all bite with no bark!)

  • Ep Sato

    I think Sundance is cool and am also rooting for the sister from Madison Wisconsin if she’s still in the running. How could I not root for a chica from my childhood hometown?

  • Nose

    Whitney, you can’t have Chris as your Doppelganger..he’s mine! I have the curly mop of hair, nerdy glasses, sadly, a similar body shape, and I use jokes to make people like me and as a defence mechanism. I have been known to make a Hasselhoff joke on occasion. If I was on Idol, I, too would have chosen a little-known song to sing, thereby avoiding the standard, “You’re no Stevie Wonder, dawg” kind of comments. Chris rocks.

    Chris Sligh may not be the all-time greatest singer but he’s the only guy left on AI with any personality. He’s a Jack Black type who just might keep the proceedings a bit, you know, ENTERTAINING. The others are completely interchangeable and dull, dull, dull, zzzzz…
    This week’s 5 hours of American Idol could qualify as torture under the Geneva Convention. I may call it quits for the season tonight if the women don’t show greater potential and a little bit of oomph.

  • Marc

    I`m totally a Sangley (is that how it is spelled?) girl! He is just so cute and adorable and shy and pure and cuddly. And what a Farrah Fawcettish hairstyle!

    nick pedro he is everyones underdog the rocky of bunch hope he make its

  • Nathan

    I’m totally Brian Dunkelman.

  • brandonk

    I think everyone can identify with Chris, and as for barking, I like it ruff.
    Yes, I DO think that’s funny.

  • Me

    I’d like to be more like Sanjaya but I fear I come off more Simon.

  • pumpkinandy

    i identify with just about all of the guys because i am a lousy singer. that’s mean, i’m sorry. no, really, i’m not. ok, i am.

    Yeah, Chris Sligh is cool, but I identify with Thomas, who had to go in to see the judges with that hack Sundance. Thomas got sent home, even though Sundance totally tanked his Hollywood auditions (and continues to tank).
    Thomas flipped off the camera, and so did I.
    I have to say – I think all the talented, interesting, and mature singers were sent home (Tami, Ebony, crazy opera chick, Thomas, etc.), and all we have left (mostly) are the malleable, pop-ish, uncertain, and untested singers.
    And where the heck is Jenry?

  • Fallon

    While I often think you are funny Whitney, I still think its weird to declare yourself as such.

  • Mandisa

    I’m Mandisa and I’m a Lesbian. Can I come back on the show now? Please.

  • Friday

    Chris has got that somethin-somethin. He is smart, funny, approachable, likable, and surprisingly he can sing. Plus he picks good songs. Hope he sticks around for a while or gets another opportunity somewhere.

  • Nancy Walker

    I certainly would not want to be the new scandal that comes in the name of Barbara. I hope they give the “lady” the boot. She is not better than Frenchie. From what I remember reading, Frenchie’s pictures were topless. this time the scandal is pictured on the toilet and in a sex act, what a role model!

  • matt

    Chris, of course. I can totally see myself in him. He should be in the top 3. Great tone, shrewd, and yeah, real funny.
