But then this brings up the point that you don't like, Megan, :) about it not being JUST a singing competition. American Idol also includes "who do you identify with?".



I really agree. I think that it really was uncalled for. I've seen worse contestants that late in the game that weren't bashed so badly. I really think that Jason's laid back personality really grated on Randy and Simon. I don't think they felt he took it seriously enough (whether he did or not, I don't know how anyone knows; but I think it bugged 'em that he wasn't so intense).

One thing I bet you is that Jason won't end up with high blood pressure.

I do whole-heartedly agree with you there! Yes, the judges have been harsh in the past but I think there was something about Jason that really unnerved them. They just couldn't "control" him, ya know? I haven't yet caught up on all the interviews he's done so far but I did Tivo and watch the Ellen and Regis & Kelly performances and he really outdid himself on Ellen with "Daydream". He did it even better than his original performance. There is really something special about that boy and like he said in one of his interviews.... "I think I'm what AI was originally meant to be all about.... the originality and the uniqueness" (or something to that effect). The judges have really let me down this time. I'll watch the rest but I really don't care about it anymore. And I will definitely be buying Jason's music in the future. My husband said last night that Jason is someone he'd love to sit and watch at a bar (or other really small venue). There's just something he's got that's genuine and intriguing.

That was fun. That link also took me to his own website. Pretty cool! I liked how it had his charity information and the forum was family- and work- safe. Everything had to be below PG-13. ;)

JMO: But after tonites preformance, I think that David C and Syesha should be in the final 2...

Yorkiesforever 05-13-2008 05:22 PM

I agree completely! I think David Cook should win b/c he has the versatility and the maturity to handle it. I also think he will have tons of great singles and cds that I for one will buy! They all deserve to be where they are coz they all have tons of talent. It will be fun to see where it takes them!

yorkiesmiles 05-13-2008 05:41 PM
Ok, I'm going to disagree with you all ;) -- I think David A was amazing - particularly with the 1st song. I've tried to vote & can not get thru :(

For My Coby 05-13-2008 06:03 PM
David A has a great voice, but his attempt at contemporary tonight really, to me, showed his commercial limitations. I know that he will appeal to some in album sales, but he's not unique or versatile enough for me. :( Sayesha did pretty well with her songs.

But David C did an amazing job with the great Roberta Flack song and sang one of my all-time favorite songs, Don't Want to Miss a Thing. ...aaaahhhhhhhh. :)

bjh 05-13-2008 06:05 PM
I voted for David A. about 10 times. I just think David A. has such an angel voice. Yes, David C. is a great vocalist but I am just not a rocker. I really liked David C.'s second song.

That's funny. I watched his exit interview. And his "advice" for the remaining contestants was "Don't take it too seriously". Then he corrected himself with "No, no, you should take it seriously. Just don't take yourself too seriously." You are so right Misti1.

MeganS 05-13-2008 07:02 PM
OK...here goes. This is hard for me. ;)

I was at a rehearsal during David A's first song...and I just managed to catch his second song. I was not impressed at all. I thought it was very dissapointing.

:(

*phew* That was hard! :p I'm serious though, and it makes me sad.

Oh, Megan, you need to go online and listen to the first song, it was so beautiful - Paula chose it for him

Awww Megan. I genuinely know how hard that was for you. Big Hug. It was a needed attempt tho - to do something contemporary and in his age range. But just didn't fly. Randy was right .... David singing to his "boo" just didn't work.

Sorry babe. For you, though, I think it was his first disappointment. :)

I mean, geez, as if he didn't get enough when he was standing on the stage, Simon had to rip him again after David A.'s performance, with the "You could've whistled a tune and it would've been better than the last performance." Totally uncalled for. :thumbdown:thumbdown

I feel that Simon tells the truth and does it in a very "British" way. To the point.
And Jason was awful last week. JMHO

David C rocked it out last night. love him


and i just have to say that David A should have never sang that second song. wow.... it just goes to show you that he can't pull off fast contemporary songs. he has a great voice for ballads but not so much with anything else. i was sort of embarrassed for him during that performance. the dancing omg.... i couldn't help but laugh through then entire thing.

seyesha tho, seems to get better and better. Loved her first and last song. very nice job.

crystalsmom 05-14-2008 04:06 AM
I'll tell you if I had to pick a winner from the first round of songs, I could not have done it, they were all great. Perfect song for David A. in the first round but it kinda went downhill from then on a bit. It's going to be sad tonight for all of us because at this point we like the three, just one a tiny bit more.

Megan, you have to listen to David A's first song, it was beautiful.

ryorkies 05-14-2008 04:21 AM
I thought they were all wonderful, but the first round was the best.
I do not always agree with Simon's comments, but he really does know his business and by picking Roberta Flack's song ( The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face ) for David C was just brilliant.
I cried through the entire song .....

Yes Simon is a genius and I teared up too. It was perfect for him and maybe my favorite of his in the entire show. Thank You for posting it, I was going to look for it just now.

I think the judges are swaying the people to vote Syesha off. They didn't say one nice thing about her last night. It felt kind of obvious that the show wants her voted off next and have the last week be David & David. Sad bc I think she did excellent last night... just as well as David A (maybe better??). David C I think is heads above them both. :)

I disagree. I think SHyeshas second song was a total embarrassment. Fever? Bad choice! I thought total caberet too.

I thought Sy's Fever was hot spicy and the arrangement showed a range. WHy they give this girl such a hard time I will never understand.

Yes, I agree he does tell the truth and I also like some of the things he says. And yes Jason did a bad job on both songs, well I would say the fact that he forgot the words to the second song was the only thing wrong with that. And there have been atleast 2 other contestants that have done that also, one of them David A. But to continue to criticize someone after his performance is over and done with and the next person has already performed was what was uncalled for. He and Randy had already harshly criticized Jason when he was on the stage there was no need for him to criticize him again when he wasn't even the one standing on the stage. Even Ryan came to Jason's defense, asking Paula to give him words of encouragement because he still had to sing another song.

ok, I'm going to predict clear to next Wed. :rolleyes:

The judges made it clear that they want the 2 Davids in the finals last night. They didn't give Syesha much hope, much to my disappointment.

So, dear, talented Syesha will leave tonight. But next week, who will her fans vote for??

David A of course, as their styles are more alike.

So, that makes David A this year's American Idol winner

Hey, you agree with my math strategy...... but now, you have me a little nervous. You might have a point!! :eek: ;)

sweetheartsok 05-14-2008 09:03 AM
I think it will be David A all the way and that's why Simon said what he did about David C last night. He wanted to get David C enough votes to eliminate Seyesha. I have to say that Seyesha is an amazing performer. She will do very well. For those that didn't like David A's 2nd performance last night. Keep in mind that he is only just 17 and inexperienced. Give him a couple of years and he will blow your socks off. I think he's adorable and I don't think his performance was bad at all. I was suprised he was able to move as much as he did. David C is amazing but he doesn't need to win, someone will snatch him up and he would do better by not winning AI, just like Daughtery.

I actually agree with you about that last part. In my heart, I want David Cook to win. David A is a cutie but there's something about David Cook that I just LOOOOVE. But I agree with you, I think David Cook would be better off NOT winning like Chris Daughtery.

SaraAlexine00 05-14-2008 10:11 AM
I reeeeaaallllyyyy hope David C. wins. I think he's amazing. BUT i have a feeling that David A will get more votes. We will soon find out!
