Ok, I think I am finally done cuss out my DVR and TV...... Michael is amazing! I loved the song choice, and did anyone else think that in the end he was totally auditioning for a record label?

On a similar note, my mom was sitting in the other room and has like "Why did they kick off the hot guy?" Mine you my mother does not really watch Idol, but I still thought the comment was funny!

As for the singing of "Shout for the Lord", I actually didn't like it! Now, I love the song, in fact I have sung in churches for many years. Maybe that is the fact I didn't like their rendition. It just seem half hearted to me!

Also, Being a Floridan I LOVED John McCain's comments tonight. He gave a serious yet witty message while Clinton and Obama bored me to tears!

Also, favorite performance last night was Fergie with Heart!

Actual Fan Of Jason Castro
 

Jason Castro seems to be one of those people you either "get" or you don't. Part of what makes me continue to prefer him on AI has been listening to his studio recordings on iTunes. They are really good.

Actually, that's not even my main purpose for posting. The thing I'm really surprised to not find is that supposedly Jason's gf is a KKG at Oklahoma. He has a family friend who sends out Jason updates on one of his fansites. She wouldn't confirm other than to say that the OK Kappa chapter is supporting him in a huge way.

Well, I was really, really hoping to hear Carly sing Vision of Love this week. But, alas, Michael Johns had already planned to sing it before being kicked off... So, I guess no Vision of Love.

This week is really gonna suck. Mariah Carey? Yeesh.

Yet another week where I'll let the DVR do the work for me. I can't stand her. At least it's not Celine Dion.

I like Mariah but her songs are very, very difficult to sing. It's not just her high notes. It's her vocal projection, the vocal range in the song, etc. that make her songs so difficult to mimic. I'd be interested to see how the contestants do.

I really hope someone sings "Honey" or "Touch My Body" - just so that I can laugh and laugh and laugh.

David Cook made the whole rest of the show worthwhile for me. I haven't much of anything kind to say about the rest of it. :)

I love Mariah, but it was another week of slow, depressing song choices...seriously, can someone sing something, ANYTHING, up-tempo?!?

what song did syesha sing that they said was obscure? mariah carey doesn't have obscure songs!

Syesha sang "Vanishing", from MC's debut album (circa 1990, they probably think it's "obscure" because 90% of the audience wasn't even born then ;)).

David A. tore it up, he's the only guy who really "sang" a Mariah song, the others did male adaptations. Of the two, David C. was amazing and I totally bawled when they flashed to his brother and DC teared up. Jason was weak, IMO. Can someone please explain to me WHY Simon is so easy on him??? He said that Kristy was "whiny", while Mariah said she gave her chills, but he gives props to little stoner dude? What is up??

I'm praying the bottom 3 are Carly, Brooke & Jason, I'll consider it a belated birthday present if any one of them are booted.

Okay I lied-that is a pretty obscure Mariah song...she was probably terrified after what they told her for singing "Fantasia's song".

The judges and I were on totally different pages last night. I didn't care for Jason but Simon liked him. I thought Syesha did great and the judges ripped her. <shrug> weird week.

I didn't think KLC was that bad and I'm not even a fan of her. I was surprised that they gave her a hard time but gave a free pass to Jason who was just terrible.

"Vanishing" is one of my favorite Mariah songs but it was never a radio hit so the majority of people don't know it.

As a MC Fanatic........ Vanishing is one of her best songs ever and I thought Syesha did an AMAZING job with it.. the judges (Randy & Simon) really dont want to give her props but was salivating all over David A and I thought he was merely ok. Jason and Brooke please I was bored stiff. David C did a good job at interpretation but vocally he wasnt great. KLC did a pretty decent job.. I'm beginning to like her more and more each week..

Carly... sigh

I'm SO over David A. He's just boring to me. I know he has a good tone and whatever, but blah I'm done with that kid.

David C. on the other hand, continues to be my favorite this season. :D
