If the judges were being true to themselves, and ALL OF THEIR “YOU’RE NO WHITNEY HOUSTON” COMMENTS then they would have been fair and said DAVID COOK is NO Micheal Crawford, his music of the night was amatuerish. I did not like it at all.
I really don’t care for him either but that is not what the above comment was about. He did a very boring imitation of the original song. Blahhhh! I agreed with Simon most of the night. I really love David A’s voice but his song was boring. I have a feeling if he sang any song the way he really could have - Simon would have sent him packing to Broadway, so he played it safe. His Dad is definately coaching him. Didn”t overdo it and didn’t try to copy anyone.
Hurrah for Carly! She is not my favorite BUT she did a fantastic Broadway stage performance of Jesus Christ - Superstar.
BTW…..Whose album would I buy right now?
Believe it or not —– JASON CASTRO……. I LOVE HIS SWEET VOICE. I have seen CATS and his performance was really well done and I find it hard to believe the judges acted that way. Even my mom who doesn’t realyy like him thought he was great.
I’m from England, and to be honest, I think the only one of them that can make it internationally is Jason Castro. His style is fresh and laid back, which is very much embraced in Europe at the moment. Even though he’s not the best vocally.
He will definitely do well.
David Cook is a bit too cheesy for the international market, will be commercial rock.
Archuleta will end up doing stuff for Disney, not mature enough. Also I’m surprised that people in America are not bored of his style of singing. He has a great voice, I have to say, but overall, very boring personae.
That Brooke, really gets on my nerves when she talks back at the judges, she seriously needs to be kicked to the kerb. I think she will go this week anyway.
I love both Davids they are both amazingly talented! The competition will REALLY heat up once Brooke and Jason leave cuz there’s no bad people left to vote off. David Archuleta!!!!! is my favorite guy and Syesha is my favorite girl!!!!!
David cook !!!!!!
He’s Awesome!!!!!!
okayyyy soo yeahhh
1) SYESHA— admit it as simon said, her performance was sexy, and as andrew lloyd weber predicts, it brought down the house and was incredible, she has sooooo much talent and should win and she can do broadway theater and stufff later on in lifeee love herrr
2) CARLYYYY is amazing, loved her performance last night
3) DAVID COOKK– he is amazing. nothing else to say. loved michael johns and i would say he is the closest to michael of who is still on…i still miss michael tho :(
everyone else needs to go ASAP (Brooke, Jason, David A.) they all lack personality and are kinda boring like the same stufff everyweek (especially David A. but Jason too) and i dont like them too muchhhh
i still want jason to stay this week.
i didn’t like his performance, but like simon said… it wasn’t his style at all.
wish they’d stop doing these stupid theme weeks.
as if the winner is going to be singing andrew lloyd webber, dolly parton or mariah carey songs in their career. it’s ridiculous.
they should be allowed to go on each night and sing whatever song they WANT. songs THEY like.
From the girls, I really hope Carly stays.
She has the best voice in the whole competition and I like her vibe.
And from the boys, it’s DAVID Cook.
His voice is so ‘oh wow’ and then he has the looks to match.
i’m sick of david cook and his boring slow “rock” performances.
he sounds like every other guy in an alternative rock band. original my foot…
plus archie is boring too.
the only thing that labels him with having an “amazing voice” is the fact that he can add a long “wow-oh-wow-oh-oh!” to the end of his songs or just generally making words spread out longer like thissssss. -yawn-
JASON FTW !
that’s music people will actually BUY.
David A, Brooke and Jason should be in the bottom 3. Hopefully Jason or Brooke will leave.
david a: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BORINGGG
carly: great and fun performance, finally she was having some fun on stage
jason: weak perfomance :S
brooke: very emotional but she’s just not meant for broadway (at least she knows now)
david c: not my favourite, but really good
syesha: kinda weird, good feeling but she had some problems
soo my guess is
top 3: david a (as always, doesn’t matter if he doesn’t sing at all ppl will vote him anyway), carly, david c
bottom 3: syesha, brooke, jason
i really think that it’ll be any of them that goes home, hope it ain’t brooke tho
I completely agree with idolfan! Great summary. I loved David Cook and Sayesha. Sayesha was such a performer tonight.
Brooke will go.
Cook was awsome - David Archuletta sang the same sone he always does - didn’t he - I couldn’t tell the difference……
i think that david cook always never fails to surprise the world with his performances. i expected him to do something from “jesus christ superstar” or “starlight express” cos they’re definitely in his natural rocker persona element but he surprised me pleasantly again :D i always love his originality.
i’m getting bored with david a! i enjoyed his performances, right up until “we can work this out” then he started to drone on and on week after week then that support just died.
michael and david cook were my favourites :D but yes, syesha was really good tonight! hopefully she won’t be in the bottom 3 this week.
whats your deal jared? why are you cutting them off in certain places? amazingly enough u cutt david cooks off right before simon was going to tell the truth about him. and you didnt show brookes judging at all. whats your deal? if youre going to post these for people who didnt see the show, to make a fair judgement you need to post all of them exactly the same. that really sucks you did it this way.;
Syesha… best of her performances… still can’t stand her though. Too Whiney and fake. She sounds like every other female vocalist out there.
Brooke…. i love her and she will be successfull but she tanked
Jason - I actually loved his version of memories - Voted
David A - sucked big time. hated the pop-version and I’m just over him. He’s the same thing week after week. Excellent voice but not my cup o tea
Carly - you can’t get more awesome
David C - I hated this…. he sucked big time. No one can do a Michael Crawford song and sound remotely good. It’s like the female doing Mariah or Whitney
Whoever thought Broadway night (done before and still sucked) was a good idea needs to be fired. This was painful to watch.
I also voted for Carly
Archuletta has a “nice” voice, seems like a good all American boy but really he is quite boring to me, and you are right he doesnt move.
Cook however is very entertaining and has some major lungs!
I agree with whoever said it first…. yesterday really made me miss Michale Johns. He was my favorite sine the audition where he did that Ottis Reading song….. melt my heart!! Since he left I’ve been watching live (not DVR the next day) and actually voting. I’ve watched every season except the Carrie Underwood season and only voted once (Fro Kelly Clarkson). Now I’m voting a gazillion times. But depending on the results tonight… I may stop voting and watching all together or go back to my watching it recorded the next coupld days later and FF thru the BS. This whole Theme week crap is so lame. I understand they want to narrow the focus of songs but it’s ridiculous and the fans don’t want to see 5 people who will probably never sing on broadway have to be tortured singing musical crap.
I think that the performances tonight were quite mixed.
1. Syesha - She’s sexy tonight and the most broadway-ish in all the performance. Vocally, she’s not the best. She has little to no control of her high notes to the point that it often times come across as flat. However, there was energy tonight from Syesha, which made her performance outstanding. (Top 3 or 4)
2. Jason - I liked Jason early in the competition, because he sounds unique, quiet and tranquil. However, my pet peeve in his singing is the way he sounds too airy, restricted and (Hmm I’m thinking of the right term…) unsupported. It’s as if every breath and lyrics he sing is a struggle between life and death to the point that doing it week after week is BORING!! He’s pretty, but I wish he’d go tonight or next week.
3. Brooke - Brooke won me over when she sang “Let it Be”. It was simple but heartfelt –magical in a way. I loved her after that performance… However it lasted only one week (haha!). After that stellar perfomance, she couldn’t keep up with the others. Somehow she reached her peak, and there was no more we can expect from her. If there was someone who should definitely be her.
4. David A - Sings the same way over and over again. The saving grace in him is that his voice sounds unique. I can’t describe it exactly.. something like husky and full (quite mature for his age). The major down factor would be his lack of versatility (I mean, he turns every theme week to pop/ballad week…?). But he has other ups and it includes being really cute and adorable… hahaha (Top 2 or AI Winner)
5. Carly - The girl rockstar who needs a little bit more refinement. It disturbed me that she was shouting too much in the “Jesus Christ Superstar”. However, unlike her old performances where she sounded drawn back when she starts hitting the notes, this time, she came in full force which is a plus factor. I mean, she’s improving and that’s a good sign. ALthough, I wouldn’t expect her to win AI. (Top 3 or 4)
6. David C. - At first I thought, David C would turn out to be a Chris Daughtry rip off. But tonight changed it all. I mean, he was amazing week after week. Perhaps the most consistent among all the contestants. Not always the best, but up there on top. The best thing about him is that, people will remember him, because of the risk he takes and the unpredictability. Sound wise, not really the best one, but bearable. I think Michael Johns had a better rock star voice, but he showed some control singing today. Probably exhibiting that he can refine his rock star-ishness and be a little bit reserved. Go David C! (Top 2 or AI winner!)
I must be the only one that doesn’t like David Cook, I liked him in the beginning, but his cocky ways bugs me. I don’t think he performed that great last night. David Cook does the same thing week after week. Holding his microphone like he is about to swallow it, then belts out a scream..People seem to like yellers,I prefer smooth sounding music.
Yes David Cook knoked them out of the water. He reminded me of Josh Grobin. He almost brought tears to my eyes. He ,imo is the very best one hands down
I like Jason Castro and David Cook, because I can see them making an album with their type of music. David A doesnt’ have a style–what type of songs will he put on his album? Also most of the guest (mariah, dolly, etc) said that Jason has a unique style. I can see myself buying Jason or David’s music. Syleisha should go straight to broadway.
David Cook Rocks!! >33
David Cook should win, he was amazing once again.
