Syesha has an amazing vocal instrument with a great rang, her skill in that regards was definitely the best female out of the bunch. HOWEVER, her voice just does not sound original. It sounds very typical, which leads little to entertainment values.

Stage Dad loses pass...

^^^GOOD! I hope little David turns 18 soon so he can tell his Dad to take a hike for reals and stay out of his hair.

Hopefully this means he stops picking songs like he is a 40/50 year old man, and starts singing songs for a 17 year old boy. I am very excited for producer and judges choice so there is a little variety in his line up. I find it interesting that he is now the vote for the worst contestant, because yes, he deserves it, but he does not need the help, lol.

No such luck. Rumor has it one of his songs is Billy Joel's "And So It Goes". Every 17 year old child should sing a song about the heartbreak of ending a marriage, especially D'Arch. :rolleyes:

yes but that was Paula's choice, or atleast the rumor goes. AND GO FIGURE, she likes him the way he is, lol.

the rumored ones right now are:

David Cook
His Choice - “The World I Know” by Collective Soul
Simon Cowell’s choice - “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack
Producer's Choice ?????

Syesha Mercado
Her Choice ?????
Randy Jackson’s choice - “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys
Producer's Choice ?????

David Archuleta
His Choice ?????
Paula Abdul’s choice - “And So it Goes” by Billy Joel
Producer's choice - “Longer” by Dan Fogelberg

Still have four songs missing from the rumors... But on DAVID A... its like they DONT want this kid to sell records, ever. Sure, his first record will sell cuz he's DAVID A but after that, buh-bye. LOL, you can not get more sappy love song then Longer...

I like collective soul a lot. The problem is, it already sounds a lot like Cook, and his appeal comes from changing things up, so how will he change this up? Now, for Simon's choice... SIMON SIMON SIMON, you are trying to sell Leona Lewis more arn't you, because this happens to also be one of her singles!!!! However, I think Cook can do a lot with this, and it will be a lot of fun.

Syesha... well, all we know is Alicia Keys. WHICH IS FUNNY? cuz we all know that she is better when she does not do R&B. Is Randy trying to sink this ship?!? Well, we all know she is going home this week anyways (undeservingly, I think, but everyone has their opinion). I think however she will sing it beautiful, I just hope she finds a way to bring some flavor so she can step out from behind the shadows of the song.

Oh. my.

Admittedly I have never been a fan of David A. I didn't like him from the very early shows before he got anywhere near the top 12. But still, I thought I had gotten used to hearing him and tuning him out.

David A. singing Chris Brown made my ears bleed. :eek:

^^^LOL, yeah, what in baby jebus' name WAS that?

And I really wish Syesha had picked a different 2nd song too, she did SO great with her first one.

David C. choked me up, that has always been one of my very favorite songs.

I thought Syesha's second song was fine. But, again I'm biased here, because I've always loved that song. And I kept thinking of the version Beyonce did in The Fighting Temptations, which wasn't that long ago and thus I don't consider the song to be the antithesis of contemporary.

LOVE David C. Adore him, will buy a rock CD for the first time in years when his drops.

I'm really wishing they all just sang one song tonight.

Or, that we had been sensible and turned off the TV after the first round. ;) I wouldn't mind having those 40 minutes back please.

WHAT AN UNDERWHELMING NIGHT

DAVID A. SHOULD GO HOME

He should go home because the BS his father has put the show through.

Here is my take on the mind-numbing performance tonight, that I acutally stopped Tivo long enough to hear....


David A.....go back to high school...be a normal kid, and enjoy your senior year.

Syesha......Have fun in your broadway career...I suggest Dreamgirls perhaps...

David Cook....If America has any voice anymore picking the American Idol (Besides the millions of teenie boppers who vote for David A every week) you should be the winner!

I did not like his version of "Dare you to Move". That is a very recognizable song and very hard to top the original...

The same with "Don't want to miss a thing", you can't beat Aerosmith, but I did like his version!


Go David Cook!

I wanted it to be Syesha instead of David A.
