Just saw this thread.....this is the first time I have really gotten involved with American Idol. I have to say tonight's performance by David Cook was the best of the best!! I think he should win the whole shebang!
There is some very talented folks on the show this time...seems like more than usual, but as I said, I have only just this season paid much attention to the show.
I think Paula is on pain killers and drinks on top of that. She gets really
goofed up trying to spit out what she wants to say.
I think she really bugs me. ( sorry! )

Love David Cook! He is (IMO) the most talented, the most watchable, and I love his voice. He can make any song sound great Loved Billy Jean, a great song, and a great version - he should go far whether he wins or not.
The rest - eh, all a little cheesy. Michael Johns did pretty well tonight, and Carly was ok. Total Eclipse of the Heart is a little too karaoke for me though =) _________________ Brooke and Riley (F1b) |

I loved David Cook too. I've had enough of Shakeezie (I know I spelled that totally wrong) and the kid with the long hair (can't remember his name). Unfortunately I could see Carley going tonight based on voting from the past few weeks. _________________ Leslie M |

I still think it's either Kristy Lee Cook or Ramiele going tonight. Carly will make it to the top 3, for sure.
Jason Castro might be in the bottom 3. He really doesn't seem like he is taking it seriously. Simon was dead on in all his observations last night. _________________ Brooke and Riley (F1b) |

I had to work last night, so didn't find out the results til late. Even though his sing was "dated", I really liked Chikezie's performance. There were better choices of one's to go last night. I have to remember it's a popularity contest mostly......  _________________ gene , jonah , miko and rumor

Like Paula said last night though...they are all talented, and they've gotten great exposure from this. I doubt this is the last we've seen from Chikezie.
Look at Daughtry, Kelly Pickler, Katharine McPhee, Bo Bice, Josh Gracin
sometimes it's better not to win! _________________ Brooke and Riley (F1b) |

And Sayesha was in the bottom 2!!!
But David is GREAT.
My Dad and I have watched Billie Jean on youtube at leats 10 times since the show!
I'd buy a CD, the man is rockin! |

I hadn't realized it (missed Ryan saying it), but David Cook's version of Billie Jean was a "cover" of a "cover", done first by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. I do like David's version better.....but it did lower my opinion of him.......

Maybe someone else did it first but has anyone else ever heard it before? I think it is smart what he is doing. He's not taking credit for it either, but he's singing the songs in his format, doing a brilliant job, and is showcasing his talent.
They have about a day to choose their songs, in order to have time to practice solo, then with the band, and do their studio recording. He's obviously doing something right - most of the other contestants are still struggling with finding their "sound" and choosing the wrong songs each week. _________________ Brooke and Riley (F1b) |

I agree Brooke, he is putting more effort in an "original" sound than most are, he's just a little too cocky for me. He is a great talent, he just bugs me a bit. I think this is why I haven't watched in a few years. It gets obsessive with me...... This Tuesday I have to miss it because of work.....I'm not letting the boss forget this one! At least there's still youtube to catch up.  _________________ gene , jonah , miko and rumor

Ahhh, then you've never heard of "Vote For The Worst"
www.votefortheworst.com
They have their sights set on Kristy Lee this year....last year it was Sanjaya....you get the idea. But that's why she's still here. For now. _________________ -Lynn

People can be so lame...
I think I remember hearing about that.
But c'mon, what is this like the 1st out of 4 weeks she's been in the bottom???
This kid in my Music theaory class wants her to stay because "Besides her, Brooke is the only other hot one.".... BOYS!
My whole family thinks that AI should change the voting so you vote for who you want to go!!! |
