I'm a big Idol fan, and this year's contestants seem to be pretty good. Or, at least the guys are. I'm not sold on the girls yet. I have become a big fan of David Cook and Michael Johns, who are more "rockerish" than the others. Anyone else?
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
I like Ramiele Malubay and Michael Johns. And David Hernandez is really starting to grow on me.
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
i'm definitely watching idol. i feel the same way about the guys... very good. the girls are.. eeehhh. so far, everyone who's gone home, deserved it.
i'm not too sure who i am going for yet. but david hernandez has done the best so far.

I agree, those who have gone home have deserved to go, none more, IMO, than Danny!

I'm with ya' pettyfan... Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
Okay, so David Hernandez wasn't the best, but he certainly wasn't the worst! What's up with that?
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
david hernandez should not have went home... YET. i was surprised..
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
wow, david cook and michael johns have become my favorites to watch!

Ramiele, hee hee!
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Ramiele was really good until it got to the final 12 and then I don't know what happened to her.
Still, there is at least 4 people there that should have gone before her.

ramiele is/was good as far as her voice goes. but she's not a performer.
like i said before, the girls aren't so great this season. the guys are doing a great job though. archuleta's vocals are real good but he needs some more pep in his step dont'cha think?

NowHereGirl,
I agree... Doesn't Archuleta kind of remind you of Eddie Munster?
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
LOL
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
It is kind of hard to pick a favorite this year because there hasn't really been one that has been totally consistent as far as the judges are concerned. David A is so cute you just want to pinch him and he has a good voice. He wouldn't really be a pop star I think he will fall more into of what Clay Aiken has been involved in.
Is it just me or have you noticed the little quirks that each contestant has??? For instance have you watched David A's mouth while he sings, he licks his lips constantly, better in recent weeks. Brooke has this funny thing that she does with her mouth when she is listening to the judges. Raimele just always looked like someone was going to haul off and hit her, she looked scared to death each time after she sang. I think her lack of confidence is what got her booted.
I wonder if they will have an elimination tonight because of Idol Gives Back? They didn't last year, but then that means that two go home the next week? Should be interesting.

LOL, someone had a poster saying something about David A. licking his lips! The elimination will be Thursday night instead of tonight.

This is just horrible! Michael Johns gone?? It can't be! Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Totally shocking!! I think that those who end up going first seem to be in the most danger because their performances become forgettable. Did you see Paula's mouth hanging open when they announced he was gone. It was definitely a shocking turn of events last night.
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
what a load of bull****! i was so p-o'd after they announced he was going and received the least amount of votes.. and everyone gets bent out of shape when simon tells someone how "forgettable" their performance was,.. it's true! that kristy-lee cook girl has a good country voice but her performances are indeed forgettable! she doesn't stand out one bit. she should be gone already!
and how many times will syeesha be in the bottom 3 and not get sent home?? she's another one with a pretty voice ( though a bit pitchy everytime she sings a song) that doesn't stand out! she's boring!
just wrong, wrong wrong.
only 3 girls left and NONE of them should win this if you ask me. the top 3 to win, should have been david a, david c, and michael johns.
come to think of it, brooke and jason are quite good in their own way, i like them......but not to be the next American Idol.
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Everyone I liked has gone now I just hope David Cook wins now as the rest of them bore me to tears.
Posted by evilash (Member # 6155) on :
David A. is a weenie. He forgot his words...and then everyone forgot that he forgot them.
David Cook seems nice.
I like Carly.
I'm not watching Idol, but I've seen some of the auditions of the contestants and I'm keeping up on the gossip...which is hard to avoid on Yahoo.

Yes, Eddie Munster really captures the spirit of David...can you say Eddie Munster autobiographical movie starring Davie? Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
NO shocker that Kristy finally got the boot. Did anyone see whatever Brooke was uttering right before Ryan made the annoucement? Ihate to see it when she goes.
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
I am so sick of all this crying this year. I mean literal crying, with the girls. That was one reason I was SO glad when Ramiele got voted off. Now Brooke has taken it up, boo-hooing all the time. The only one of the girls I remotely like is Carly, but I don't think she should win. Nowheregirl, I said those exact words about Syesha to my mother last week. She's in the bottom 3 every week. Just go already! I just love David Cook. Like I've said before, I would buy his album. David A. is okay...my mother just loves him, LOL, but I think he's just okay. I kinda like Jason, too. I bet it will be David/David/Jason in the top 3. What do you guys think?
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
well carly stepped it up last night, thank goodness. she's done poorly lately.
i totally agree about the crying! brooke....oh my... let me say she's become sickening. whenever the judges do their critique after the performance, she talks back and discusses or pleads her case when she should be quiet and take the constructive critism.
what do you guys think about her stopping the song to start over? i do love that song she did.. YOU MUST LOVE ME..i just don't think she had the voice range for such a song though.
david cook was good. they all did as best as they could with the songs they sang, broadway numbers are tough!
i think brooke will go home tonight. my local radio station was begging phoenix to vote for brooke to keep her in (she's from my hometown).... i was like.."why?????" she's done!

Yup! You are right...
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
I was shocked to see Carly go. She wasn't half bad Tuesday night. Go, Brooke, go. Just go home. We all want you to. There was a topic on the Idol website, something to the effect of Brooke just needs to shut up. I think it was along the lines of what Nowhere girl was talking about, how she talks back to the judges. And should she have stopped and started? Nope.
David Cook...our next American Idol?? Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
i agree it was surprising that carly went home. but it definitely should have been brooke. did you hear her apologize for arguing with the judges? apparently she must have been told or read somewhere her doing that ****es people off.
go david cook!
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
I'm in the get Brooke out camp too People forget lyrics all the time, they just go on to the next part not stop a whole band And it's not the first time she's stopped and started remember, just get rid Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
true helen.. she did the same thing when she performed HERO right? i feel confident to say that i believe david cook will be in the final but who will be there with him? david a?
i'm excited that they will be doing neil diamond songs this coming week .
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
I'm thinking David A. will be in the final two, along with (hopefully ) David C. Yep, I forgot about Brooke forgetting her lyrics before. Remember when David A. did? He just hummed in tune until he got to the place he remembered. Much more effective if you ask me.
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
If it does come down to the Davids, which I think it will, I wonder what kind of slogan they will come up with since they both have the same name?? I bet something is already in the works. I agree that Brooke needs to go, her mouth thing she does while the judges are talking to her drives me crazy. I am looking forward to the Neil Diamond selection as well. I also cannot wait until the judges get to pick what the idols sing, I don't think that is until the final 3 though.
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
What did ya'll think of last night's performances? A lot of people over at the Idol forums completely hated them. I, of course, thought David C. was absolutely marvelous. Oh how I wish Brooke would shut the hell up. And I know what mouth thing you're talking about, Jessie. It drives me crazy. Oh, and get up from behind the damn piano already!!!
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
Hee hee she's gone! NO MORE TEARS!!!
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
'bout friggin time. Posted by jdocster04 (Member # 5752) on :
Eddie Munster is next... hehehehe...
Then, we go after DONNIE OSMOND!!!!
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
lol jdocster
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
It was time to see Brooke go. She sure was emotional.
LOVE THE EDDIE PIC!

Got my David Cook downloaded from Itunes!! Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
oh my stars... jason was HORRIBLE!!! what was he thinking???
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :

LOL, we were talking at school, wonder if Jason was smoking a little somethin' before the show? He wasn't even bothered by Simon's comments! As bad as I dislike Syesha, he deserved to go. What was it he said, next week was three songs and he couldn't handle that?
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Yes I think that you are right pettyfan. He seemed like he was lost and just ready to get out of there. I am so glad that he was voted off before Syesha. Now it is a definite that Syesha will be gone next week. It is going to be the two David's. I think that David A is going to win it all.
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
He seemed extremely happy singing the song at the end there.
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
NO shocker that Syesha is the one that went home. It should be an interesting finale because both of the David's are awesome.
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
..as predicted, may the best david win Posted by Gideon (Member # 6941) on :
I want David to win (BAhahaha I'm SO funny!)
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
David Cook...David Cook...David Cook...(chanting over and over)

I hope he gets it too, but, I smell the munster again...
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
I'm afraid to watch tonight. Just wanted to let that be known.
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
i don't get it..
the judges clearly are pushing for david a to win.. perhaps they think they'll be able to sell him more?
david cook was better last night, IMO. after he sang 'the world i know' by collective soul, i felt like i was watching THE american idol. but they kept giving david a. more praise??? david a. is a one trick pony.. i just don't get it. if archuleta wins, i will be disappointed. i'm not saying he's not good, but david cook is better as a performer, entertainer and musician.
i'm afraid to watch as well..
Posted by SammyHain 44DDD-26-36 (Member # 3150) on :
What's to worry about?
David C wins he has the bigger career
David A wins David C has the bigger career
If David A wins he'll be the next Reuben 'Not a' Studdard
I don't get the judges sometimes. They'll jump on a contestant for being to predictible. Yet last night they criticized David C for trying a totally new song and praising David A for singing the same song he sang earlier in the competition.
But yeah I'm not worried about the vote because David C will be the bigger star regardless.
Posted by SammyHain 44DDD-26-36 (Member # 3150) on :
Yes Yes Yes
America knows who the real star is and proved it by picking the right guy by 12 million votes.
Congrats David Cook. Finally a rocker wins.
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
Cookie is our Idol, baby!!! Woohoooooooooooooo I agree with Sammy...finally, a rocker!!
Posted by jdocster04 (Member # 5752) on :
Davis C wins!!! Cool... You should have seen the local news here in Kansas City. They had several different parties going to celebrate the "local hero"...
Rock On.... Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
well, i am relieved! marvelous job, David C... he deserved it!
petty, i just knew you were going to be happy, i thought about you after they announced his name, girlfriend!!
sammyboy, i couldn't agree with you more..

this tv show should be taken off the air
Posted by NowhereGirl (Member # 465) on :
...and why is that?
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Finally getting around to posting about this after a week. I have heard that David C.'s new song is awful. I still haven't watched the final episode. It kind of draws no interest for me since I know he won. I know great things will become of David A. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. I do have to say that David C. was a very consistent singer, so was David A. I really liked both of them so either way it went was fine with me. Although I would have liked David A to take it all home!
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
Actually, his new song is awesome. I have it downloaded from Itunes. I can't wait for his album, supposedly to be released this fall!
Posted by Gideon (Member # 6941) on :
His new song is okay, but it's not really 'him'. It's not the kinda song i'd imagine him sining. =[
