Just wanted to add one more point in favor of the redux, with the recycling of the boxing metaphors. They tried awful hard to recapture the magic of S2, and succeeded somewhat, for sure. But I hate it that they can't come up with something fresh and new instead of recusing the same lame themes.

But Clay's CDs are pretty listless compared with the Clay we saw on the show

Take it back! Clay is so much more versatile and engaging now than he was then. His latest CD is anything but listless. There are some ballads on there of course because he does them so well but there are also radio friendly uptempo songs. I hate it when I see this sort of comment because its just not true.

The male/female boots this year matched the 2nd season's almost exactly. Males got booted this year in 12th and 10th, instead of 11th and 9th--otherwise identical. Both were "male dominated" seasons that actually had 4 women and 3 men left in the top 7, followed by 3 female boots in a row. And of course Archuleta is kind of a younger, less versatile Clay (I don't doubt Claymazement's statement that Clay sings uptempo fine in concert. I was being too snide. But Clay's...

Archretard winning would be just like Clay winning, if Clay had been on the show when he was 17, had even less ability to sing uptempo songs than he actually has, and had an IQ about 50 points lower. Not my idea of good.

Naw. Archie winning is as predictable and undeserved as Ruben winning. Many articles try to put him up as the new Clay but they are missing the real parallels of Archie to Ruben.

Both sang ballads the same way every week. The...

I've thought about the similarities to season 2 for a while. You can extend it to 4th place, as well. I expected Jason to be Josh Gracin this year. Even if he had sung flawlessly on his last week, it was in the cards. Josh and Jason were the last good looking male. They both chose questionable songs or gave weak performances including while they were sick, and got bashed heavily, after being loved by the judges originally.

Impossible for either one to make the sacred final 3...

Clay sings uptempo quite well in concert, tyvm. And there are a couple on his new album that are great. : ))

Both KLo and Syesha had fantastic final 3 nights and both were thrown under the bus in order to ensure the desired finale.

Cook's shirts say "AC", an homage to "Aiken, Clay".

Was it the semifinals where Yelly came on and shrieked Miss Independent? Not quite as scary as Mantasia last night, but I had to hear her album to realize she really could sing.

Don't overlook the obvious KLocke/Syesha comparisons....both bottom 3 feeders for quite a while with no real chance of making it to the finals.

Ruben only went to the audition to hold a friend's hand; Cook only went to the audition to hold his brother's hand.

"Clay" and "Cook" both begin with "C". "Ruben" and "Archuleta" both begin with "R" ("Ar").

I think Cookie's fans have a much better chance of him wanting to fuck them than Clay's do.... unless of course Clay is really into older women....

Don't buy into the stereotyping. Check out Clay's myspace. Nary a cougar to be seen. Sure he's got some grannies but so does Cookie. It ain't all they got though, so its all good.

Looks like they want to recreate AI2. The original Ain't No Stopping Us Now:

So do y'all suppose they will make David A. sing Bridge Over Troubled Water?
