American Idol 7

[a.e.B.O.T.]

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.

^^^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.

[pbear19]

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.

[nittanyalum]

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

[pbear19]

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

[Benzgirl]

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.

Ditto. In fact, the week they decided who was in the final 24, I had written Syesha's name down as one of the girls I really liked. I think she'll still get a recording contract.. maybe it will end up a blessing for her! Look at Jennifer Hudson after all!

ETA: I could have done without the Fantasia performance though.

All Fantasia did in that performance is whine on stage!

I really liked David Cook's little preview things, much better that the others!

I am sooo going for David Cook!

Simon's face during that performance said EVERYTHING that I was thinking.

I liked Syesha, but I'm not surprised at the results. I think she'll be successful in Broadway. =] With that said, I hope that David Cook wins!
