I can understand why people chose so many Phantom songs. It's one of my fave musical theatre shows. But, c'mon... Don't you pull up his songs and LISTEN before choosing? There are OTHER songs out there.

I'm not a huge Idol fan, but Mrs. DA is and I watched last night because of the Lloyd Webber theme because I've seen almost all of his musicals in NY, London or here in Denver.

I turned to my wife late in the show and wondered why all of these rockers weren't singing from Superstar or Joseph.

They really didn't do their homework.

As for Phantom, I'd guess it's his most famous and successful musical and maybe they had at least heard of it.

Honestly, I am losing interest in this season. David C is the only one left that is the least bit interesting to me. Can we just fast forward to the finals? Although it pains me to no end thinking about him having to sing some "Inside my Moment's Heaven" krapola song.

And seriously? Castro had no idea about Memory? What a bonehead.

U2 in 3D at the Imax was much better last night. Sounds like I made the right choice.

You should download his songs from his indie album Analog Heart. AI had it removed from Amazon. But, I have the whole indie album he put out and it ROCKS. It's David Cook as artist and Analog Heart as album title. I won't say where you can download it *cough* L I M E W I R E . C O M *cough*, but you should give it a listen.

Hey Nittany, pm me what's going on... I have a three-year old who is quite adamant that Diego's Magical Missions is more important than AI.

What the hell are people thinking??

Leaving the two weakest performers in the running...

I just don't get it. I haven't watched it much this year, but it's just not right that friends can make an untalented person a star.

Sent!

WELL THANK GOD AT LEAST FOR THAT.

It should be Castro, though.

Or Brooke.

Blah...how is Jason still here??? I guess he's got the teenage girl fan base which I don't understand. I don't find him even remotely cute.

Brooke has VFTW backing her.

I think I am so done with this season.

How in the hell can Castro stay after that shit?

Cook cannot win Idol. If he does, 19E will pummel his edginess into little commercial pieces of dust they can use to make more money. So, I am hoping he'll get voted off soon and get a contract like Daughtry.

Maybe Carly will get a contract, too... And hopefully it'll be a better album than Ultimate High was. That mess was WAY too pop for her.

I am really saddened by tonight's vote. Brooke, Cupcake, or Castro needed to get the heave-ho...

Well, if I keep watching, maybe the reviews I post will be funnier now.

Is America tone death? Do they know what good music sounds like?

Because Castro and Brooke did not deserve a pass!

I thought it would have been great this week being ALW and all! But it was so blase!

I was shocked and seriously mad that Carly got kicked off. I thought her song was one of the better ones!

I actually like David A's version. It was interesting!

I LOVE David Cook!!!! He was very sexy singing Music of the Night!

I have a better idea for Castro.....Lets go cut his dreds off in his sleep!!! That should help him to remember to never butcher an amazing song like memories ever again!

Don't you know that the American Idol does not have to be a good singer? They do, however, have to be cute to young females. This show is really a contest in marketing one's self, and singing is just one way to do it.

I won't be watching anymore this season. I actually stopped watching the show regularly back in the Taylor Hicks season. I was hanging in for this season because they had some interesting voices earlier, and I thought Carly dominated when she chose the right songs. With Carly being kicked off tonight, after giving one of the best performances last night, the show is now completely boring to me. David Cook's gutsyness is not enough to keep me tuned in through the mediocre others. David A. will win, even though he doesn't really have his own style. I feel another Ruben or Taylor comin' on.

ETA: Anyone notice that the only women that seem to go far in AI in recent seasons are ones that are likeable to young females? And I mean young white, conservative, "cute" females. Nice girls that don't have attitude. Otherwise it's cute boys that make the cut.

Apparantly cupcake's dad is a complete stage mom. Naomi Judd told the Today show that he was the worst stage parent ever after Star Search! They say he even withholds water from cupcake if he doesn't do well in rehearsals! Yikes!

I found another site for DC music: http://davidcookrocks.fuzz.com/ It has songs from the albums with the local band he used to front and if you scroll down the list of songs, starting with "Silver", there are songs from his solo album listed. Good stuff!!!

ETA: Tippie, you're right, David's stuff ROCKS. I've had it playing off that website link I posted in the background while I've been getting some work done and I'm officially hooked. I'm on my 3rd run-through (of mostly his solo stuff).

I was reading back through this thread, and just thought this gem beared repeating.
