American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Tonight is the first night of competition...Its on for 2 hours tonight.

I found this interview on the internet:
Entertainment Weekly is all about American idol! lol Here is an interview that they did with Leah....

Cry Her a River
Like it or not -- teary ''Idol'' finalist Leah LaBelle says she'll cry if she wants to by Liane Bonin



SOB STORY Seventeen-year-old LaBelle says, ''If I wanna cry, I'm gonna cry''

Leah LaBelle, the 17-year-old ''American Idol'' contender from Seattle, has made more of an impression with viewers for bursting into tears than with her singing. In the first of our interviews with the spring 2004 finalists, she talked with EW.com about her emotional outbursts, her personal style, and what she's willing to cut (if she makes the cut) in the coming weeks.

You've gotten flak for crying after initially failing to make the final 12. How do you feel about that?
A lot of people have taken my emotions as immaturity, a sign that I'm not old enough to be in this competition. Whatever. I feel what I feel. If I wanna cry, I'm gonna cry -- regardless of who watches me. They can take it how they want to take it.

But it must do a number on your ego.
It hurts, because I'm a very sensitive person, which is why my emotions spill easily. It's hard for me to hold them in sometimes. But I'm human. And when you're so close to your dream and this is what you've worked for for 17 years, of course you're gonna cry. What do you expect me to do, laugh?

What's your favorite type of music?
I really like the whole urban, hip-hop kind of thing. I'm also into the '80s thing. I'm kind of all over the map.

What's in your CD player right now?
Beyoncé's ''Dangerously in Love.'' She's always in my CD player.

How do you stand out among the finalists?
I don't think any of us are alike in this competition. I'm an R&B singer, which is different. We're all individuals, and that's what makes us all stand out.

Everyone on this show gets a makeover. Are you ready?
I'm really looking forward to getting a new style. I want to have some say in it, but it'll be fun. I might change my hair. I'm cool with it being cut, but we'll see.

She needs the makeover the most....Out with the 80's look please

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

I can't wait! Now it gets REALLY good!

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

We'll be watching too!

As for Leah - I don't think she's very good!! Do you?

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Lets hope they see through either Leah or Matt tonight and they are gone soon!!! (I hope!!!)

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Oh man in 2 hours, I hope they don't have too many commercials. This show's commercials are as long as the actual show.

I'm hoping Leah will be booted off first.

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

The 2 hour special will be 'filled' with stupid skits, plenty of commercials, plenty of dull comments by Ryan, and Simon, and im sure stars from the past AI's

LOL .. you hit it right on the head (esp. about the lame skits ... ugh, I hate those)

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Leah. Labelle. Must. GO.

Or Matt. I know he has fans but I sure ain't one of them.

As for the 'filler' for tonight's episode, don't forget all the 'fun' footage of the gang showing up at their mansion!

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

yeah i hope leah goes tonight too. and thank god i have tivo and can fast forward through all the junk!

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

No Matt can't go! There's only like 4 guys out of 12. We need to keep some men on this show or else it'll be all girls.

That's why I will TiVo it and watch it later! All the stuff in between is such a waste of time. It will probably only take 30-40 min to watch the 2hr show after I FWD through all the crap.

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Wish i had TIVO

I don't think anyone will beat LaToya London! That girl can SING!!! She is my pick for American Idol!

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Leah the Crybaby Bulgarian has got to go!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

I cannot stand Matt Rogers He is so arrogant and cocky - when he said he was from Cali I was amazed - I could have sworn I went to HS with him and went cruising on Franny Lew blasting TKA!

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

I want Jon Peter Lewis to go. He annoys me and I think his voice is awful. I also don't like George and Leah. I hope those are the first 3 to go.

Re: American Idol Tonight 8pm-10pm

Countdown 9 minutes to go
