I really wanted to like Kara…I even did at first. It was nice having some articulate and attentive on the panel. But besides all the things that have been mentioned (the package artist thing, the focus on looks, the repetitive comments), she also has this strange passive aggressiveness thing going that isn’t making her unlikable on top of being not a great judge. The others never offer any real useful advice, but at least they are entertaining and kooky. She has the capability to give them good advice, and she just doesn’t for whatever reason.
I’m with you SLezak! Talkin about kara just makes my blood boil and makes me wanna puke out my intestines…Ugh…she is so so stupid when she talks i swear she makes britney spears look like a nobel prize winner.
And the part where u silenced off Adam B. from speaking anythin negative of Allison, i was rolling on the floor with tears from laughter..
Lots of interesting options for the performers this week — must Lil Rounds do something off Private Dancer? Can Lambert pretty-please do Tainted Love? All this and more discussed on my blog: http://throwingthings.blogspot.com/2009_04_05_archive.html#6004321336270563987
I hope the judges give Allison some good feedback this time.
Kara just sucks. Part of the reason Lil never does well is because Kara keeps telling her to be a an R&B diva. Just because she’s black Kara doesn’t mean she has to sing R&B. We are more than our ethnicity and even if we weren’t all Pop music has it’s roots in Black music.
Paula did give Allison props last week for her vocals and guitar use.
Replace Kara with Michael Slezak!
I like Kara. Lil Kim is to much like Fantasia.
Adam B. Vary is hot! I love Idolatry!
I am such an Idolatry junkie! I laughed out loud for the whole episode. Michael Slezak is a voice of reason in the vast Idol wilderness. I am just waiting for the final four to include Allison insead of Lil because I have faith that those wandering in the wilderness will stop eating the funky berries and come to their senses and vote for talent instead of hype!
Seems like Kara is getting more boo’s these days than Mr. Cowell. I don’t mind her, I just hate her “here’s the thing”, she gives good advice (idk what ppl are talking about when they say she doesn’t). I think she’s thinking more on the business side of things while she gives her advice. At least she says more than “for me for you”, Randy is the most useless judge I think.
I am Such a big fan of Michael S….and soo sooo happy he is also rooting for Allison…she is not the big beauty but a big big talent and the show needs her to keep going. SAVE THE ROCKER CHICK!!!!
Michael – your Wonder Girl clips are awesome. You and a bottle of tequila in the room would make “year they were born night” infinitely more fun. Keep up the fight for Allison!
Kara is the parrot judge….rarely has a unique opinion but does love to hear herself talk
I’m with Slezak, Kara is useless on that table…She needs to go…And thanks for supporting Allison! Go wonder girl go!
The voters are discriminating against girls this season.
