I wouldn't blame any of them for being angry for those song choices alone.
Didn't David change his personal song choice abruptly? If they made him do that then he may have been annoyed. |

Yes, I thought the judging was unfair to Syesha, so I voted for her (after being a Cook fan this whole time). I did so in part because Cook seemed exhausted
and detached, and I think he'll get a recording deal either way. He might even be thrilled to get out of singing the cheestastic winner's song. Syesha,
however, clearly wants this. (And Archie is a one-dimensional balladeer puppet.)

He may have changed it because the performance would have had the same vibe as his first song. Just a guess. But it was a better song for him.
I hope whomever is in the final 2 gets a chance for some rest this week. DA is a nervous hen, Cook is exahusted, and Syesha is motoring on. But women do that better in general because we have to. (And, Sucksters, do not argue with me unless you have children and had total responsibility for homework, baths, meals, sports, housecleaning, etc. PLUS a high-pressure, full-time job with a 1-2 hour commute each way. Don't.Go.There.I.Will.Cut.You. ) |

Dagny, it just makes me sick that they shit all over Syesha. The whole thing is phony anyway, but if Syesha is eliminated I'll find something else to watch
next week.

AMAI, I am a hardcore Cook fan, but Syesha deserves F2 over Porkchop. They were not fair to her tonight. And with all that said, Cook could be a surprising
boot. Man is exhausted.
eta: Cook has a Creep rendition out there. Not quite Marty level, but it's older--pre-idol. Love to see what he could do with it now. You might like him a bit more if you heard it. :)

Dagny, unless Porkchop is out, he's probably going to be crowned the winner. They've been pimping his robot ass since the beginning.

Not anymore. If Porkchuleta wins it is going to be because 1. His opponent tanked and 2. His fanbase is way more into voting strategies. If they really
cared about him, they wouldn't want him to win. Setting aside the fact that he's not my thing, the poor kid just isn't ready. Miley Cyrus can
handle it at a young age. David A needs more time and more life experiences.
But Simon has spoken--good but predictable, forgettable. The proper critique when you don't want to scare a rabid fanbase into even more voting. |

Amen, dag! (From one mom to another.) Syesha is great tonight. I don't think anyone has it locked at this point, but it's obvious who Simon and Randy
want. Man was Archie's #2 song exactly that...a steaming pile of #2! Syesha's singing Fever now. She seriously doesn't seem like the same person as
a few weeks ago!

Hey girls! You know I really wouldn't cut anyone, right?
Seriously, while I doubt it is possible, I would prefer a Syesha/David C final 2 at this point. I don't like Syesha from her interviews, and I think she isn't the best we've seen, but the girl has done everything short of sing the national anthem to try to make F2 and she deserves it over Archie. But Cook better be F2, as well. And I actually think he would have a harder time beating Syesha. eta: It's almost like girls night in here, like the Survivor final 4. But no way am I Natalie. Someone else is going to have to be Natalie. I'll cop to Cirie, maybe.

I noticed David Cook seemed off tonight too, not just vocally.
They showed his mom in the audience more than usual, Did a major close-up of the AC on his guitar, and they showed his Dad for the first time. (That I remember) I was wondering if his brother's condition took a turn for the worse, it certainly would make anyone distracted at the least. Not making excuses, it was really my first thought while watching the show. And the dismissal of Syesha tonight was so transparent. She had the best night out of all of them.

Done! Maybe SHC will want to be Perverty? But who will be brave enough to don the straight jacket that is Natalie?

Well I don't give a shit, I'll say it though obviously I am in the minority it seems
I absolutely love David Cook, it's about time a rocker win this and I do not ever get tired watching him perform. He may not have an amazing night every time but when he is on, I'm glued to the set; he has presence. I think he has a great voice, obviously a talented musician and what some people see as being arrogant or cocky, I kinda just see him as extremely laid back and taking it all in; I don't sense any arrogance, I think he is just a cool, low key guy. On that note, if Syesha does NOT make the final two over that bland, squinty eyed, overrated little boy, I will screech. I can't stomach him anymore and what the judges don't realize is their OTT praise of him is taking away any possible kudos I may give him for having a decent voice and probably a nice little man at his tender years. They cry about originality and changing it up and this little pipsqueak sounds EXACTLY the same every stinking week except this week and his second song which just went to prove that he can't do anything but ballads. Syesha has completely improved upon herself cept with her I do get an a bit of a cocky vibe coming out from her and I do not think Paul liked her calling her girl, heh. But regardless, she sang great, she looked great. While I want Cook to win, Syesha earned her place as final two with him. That being said, if Cook does not win this season and if Archie does... as much as it will be hard not to watch again, I gotta be done with this show. |

Random Musings
Giveaways - and again, more 'giveaways' from Paula's two song fuck up to last night. Randy said to Syesha - 'thats whay your number 3' - notice he didnt say 'that's why you're in the top 3'. Sure, we all know that of the 3, she probably had the lowest number of votes but the pimpage continues. Lack of Talent - sure, they are decent, but you expect me to believe that this is the best of the land? Think about some amazing voices - both in quality of instrument and uniqueness and 'memorable' factor. Ain't none here. All run of the mill shite. For the women, where's a voice like Shelby Lynne? Cat Power? Kate Bush? Joan Armatrading? For the men, where's a voice like Mick Hucknall? John Legend? Shane MacGowan? Conner Oberst? Nothing different amazing or unique about these fuckers. The Lack of Talent - it's like watching the Miss America pageant. You always say 'that's the finest bitch in Illinois?' Please. I see hotter tail at Starbuck's every day. Same with this shit. I've seen bar bands with people with better voices. I watched that Norwegian kid with the big gap between his teeth who won the Euro Idol shit - WOW - that ugly little bastard had an AMAZING voice. These fucknuts pale by comparison. Syesha - sweet mother of God she's hot. She looked fierce in every outfit last night - sexytime. Fat Bow Legged Teenagers - can someone please kill the fat fuck teenage girls that crowd the front of the stage? Their dopey comments and nonsense screaming bleed into the judges mic's and I want to beat them with Papa Archuletta's John Deere hat. Watch it again and see a filipinna with massive bow legs. Out on a Limb Songs - where's the originality? Fever? I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing? Such predictable shit. Sure I suppose ya gotta do songs people know, but man, to hear a female singer do '32 Flavors' by Ani DiFranco or 'The Greatest' by Cat Power? Or howzabout a guy doing 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out' by The Smiths? Or maybe 'Lazarus' by Porcupine Tree? People will dig them if the are sung correctly. 'Lazarus' may be the singularly most beautiful song ever recorded. The closest was Castro doing Jeff Buckley's version of 'Hallelujiah' |

Did anybody see the guy with Ryan in the middle of the sea of girls, with that empty headed, big faced, shit eating grin? His smile never faded. Creeped me
out.
Also, I don't think anyone commented on this: did Simon actually say "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is one of the best songs of all time? Please. |
