Am I the only one who thought that Syesha was by far the best tonight?
Click to expand...

I was shocked at what Simon said to her at the end. I thought she was great.
I thought Jason and Brooke were terrible.
David A. was okay....funny how he got the two most recognizable songs.
David C. was awesome as usual. But he could sing the phone book and I would be melting.:eek:
I really wish they would go back to the way they used to do the themes....by genres or decades.
I don't like them doing the songs of one artist. Come on....Neil Diamond??? I admire the guy and he has alot of talent and has had a very successful career, but geez.....they really need to be doing more songs that a good percentage of the viewing audience will recognize.
I was bored to tears tonight (expect when David C. was perfoming, of course:p).

Agreed with the bolded.

Brooke's first song...OMG. Horrible. :dazzle:

Did anyone else catch Paula's stupid mistake when she thought someone sang two songs after the first round? Good Lord... :rolleyes:

OMG....and what was the deal with her shuffling all of those note cards around? Good grief. Might make the producers think twice about doing live shows.

I thought Paula had the best performance of the night critiquing Jason about the differences between his first and yet-to-be-performed second song. That was easily the most enjoyable part of tonight's show. Either Paula is psychic, psycho, stupid, or stewed. Tough call.

Jason must go. There is nothing even remotely extraordinary about his performances.

Archuleta has an incredible voice, but the constant vocal runs grow tiresome. My ancient, scratchy 45 of "Sweet Caroline" (the first 45 I ever purchased) would still showcase the melody of the song better than Mr. Vocal Gymnastics.

Syesha had a ginormously boring first song, but recovered nicely on the second.

Brooke should always pick songs where it's clear the lyricist is on the verge of crying.

Daughtry II (same style, but with much wackier hair!) loves to choose the most obscure songs, but somehow makes them entertaining.

We're looking at a David and David finale ...

Sorry, I guess I just don't 'get' David A. I thought [again] that he was singing in the wrong key for his voice and was singing songs that need to be sung by over-the-top power vocalists not a wimpy pre-pubescent teen. I find his style to have no real personality and his voice nothing worth listening to.

Syesha is a good showperson, but her vocals are inconsistent and she often smiles cheerfully at points in songs she should look serious or at least not bubbly.

Jason has a soft tone to his voice and given the right songs might do well but he rarely chooses the right songs.

Brooke has a very nice Carly Simon kind of voice. She'll make a great folk singer some day. But she doesn't have any of the showperson needed to be on stage in front of an audience.

David C has a very good sense of himself that I initially took as arrogance. I think he should win and I'll be interested to hear what he records as his second or third album [the first will be too formulaic in the Idol tradition].

Brooke's voice is more like Carole King than Carly Simon. Carly Simon has a much stronger, clearer voice. Carole King's is raspy and weak like Brooke's. If Brooke is as good a songwriter as Carole King, she might have a pop career. Otherwise, she's a lounge act at best.

Stupid Dreadlock Boy reeeeeaaally needs to go home. It just looks like he doesn't care. I have a feeling that once he gets voted off he's going to say he did the whole thing on a dare or something.

And I love Brooke, but that first song?!? :hurl:

see now i thought he actually did a really good job with "Forever in blue jeans"

To be honest I liked his version more than Neil Diamonds... and I'm a big Neil Diamond fan... I didn't like his second song nearly as much though... (like Paula... she's gotta go to rehab or something...)

Brooke needs to go... she's awful... awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwful

Deaddy boy is much worse than Brooke.
But I think that Brooke and Dreaddy will be the bottom two.
Brooke will get the boot because Dreaddy boy has elevandee million pre-pube fans.

But that just my opinion, I don't vote.

if everything went as it should in this world... which it never does... my personal feelings on it... Brooke this week... Jason next week...


I think clearly the two David's are beyond everyone... and Syesha is actually inching closer... I think she's put on two fantastic shows (although her first song last night was really boring :snore:)... but last week and last night, two good shows with the up-tempo songs...

Forever in Blue Jeans is one of my all-time favorite songs, it pained me to hear Jason sing it. Neil has that deep voice and part of the magic of that song was lost when he had to sing it up an octave.

Overall it's just hard to sing songs made famous by someone with such a distinct voice, I felt the same about Archuleta. You can't help but to compare them unless you do lesser known songs or really change them up, just like David Cook did. He was the smartest last night in my book.

Gosh I hope America sends Jason home.

:ROFLOL:I too think it is going to be the two Davids at the end, and David Cook will win.

Paula, :ROFLOL: what was she thinking. :rolleyes:

Jason just doesn't seem to care. Not memorizing his words, not putting any effort into the arrangements, etc...just tell me he's not very serious. I thought Syesha did a good job, she's getting better every week. I think she gets lost in the shuffle sometimes because she doesn't do very memorable songs. Brooke's first song was too pre-school teacher plays the guitar and everyone sings along at a picnic for me. The 2nd was better. I don't get the appeal of David A-and I thought it was lame that he sang the two probably most well known Neil Diamond songs available. I'm thinking that was a smart choice on his part, they'll be the most memorable by people. I thought it was mediocre karaoke at best though. David C's first song was good and the 2nd was awesome. All my votes went to him last nite. :sohappy:
