David Cook sucks!
he wont do anything after cause hes too old & not that many people like him.
David Archuleta is young and the BEST singer.
Jason is totally cute and i dont blame him for messing up because stupid Simon ate away at his confidence.
and Syesha just sucks…as i read through the comments nobody said anything about her..

So its just David Archuleta & Jason [Jason needs a second chance and someone to boost his confidence because hes really amazing]

I’m sorry but if this competition was just about how tecnically well you can sing then yes, i guess Archuleta might win, but by a hair. Cook can seriously sing beautifully AND he’s got a unique sound. Artistry is SERIOUSLY lacking from David - i feel like he’s trying so hard to sound unique, but it’s just not in him. All he seems good at is the neat and shiny 2 minute performances ends with the same “whoahaohao..”. ZZZZZZZZZ… how many times can i listen to that.

I love Jason and yes he did a bad job today; however, the judges killed him. I am voting for him tonight because I believe he deserves another chance. :)

Go my Jason I am voting for you. :)

How is David Cook old at 25? He has the only voice I would buy…the others are just like the judges say…forgettable. David A only sings one type of songs well - ballads….so boring. Poor Jason…he is from my state, but it was sad tonight. I don’t know how he got this far.

David A. is so boring! Seriously, can you even begin to imagine an album by him? All ballads, all boring songs!! I cannot believe he’s still there! David C. is amazing, as is Jason. Well, most of the time Jason is amazing, not tonight. : ( Poor Jason!! But I can so imagine an album by David C. and Jason!

archuleta should stick to broadway - i’d pay to see him there - but i wouldn’t pay to by an album. Cook and Castro - DEFINITELY BUYING THEIR MUSIC. I might buy Baba O’reilly - that was AWESOME!!

Are we kidding about Castro here? He forgot some lines to Mr Tambourine Man.

Its time for him to go home.

Yeah, I’d say that Archie didn’t change anything up…he stayed in his zone and played to his strengths as always. But let’s not forget that he received the best judge rapport of the night. I actually expected to have this night all go to David Cook…I guess my definition of ‘Rock n Roll’ was a little too fixed. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like Cookie and Syesha to stay and Jason get the boot (sorry Castronauts, I just didn’t think he was strong vocally…besides, it’s just my opinion). I don’t care if Cookie comes off as cocky, or if people claim that Archie is either fake or socially awkward or that Syesha doesn’t seem to have that much fans or is missing “that spark”…it’s just that they haven’t disappointed vocally.

Someone needs to explain something to me!! How is it that Jason forgot his lines and you are all crusifying him when, if you can remember, a couple of weeks ago, archuleta forgot his lines…and no one said anything!!! Jason was chewed up by Simon (who needs to calm the F down with his insults, dammit, just say you didnt like it) and you expect the guy to come out swinging!! If you ask me, archuleta needs to go home! People like him cuz he’s so young and therefore so cute!! The kid has been singing THE SAME SONG for the past weeks, they all sound the same, BORING!!! How about some originality David!!! I have to admit that I’m not a crazy fan of syesha but, the girl can sing and, again, someone has to explain to me why the judge NEVER like her and she has a big voice and can hold her notes, and then there’s archuleta who doesnt do anything very impressive and they tell him that he is AMAZING!!! WHY??? what is wrong with them!! Talent wise, David Cook should win. He’s original and he picks great songs (even if the judges think that he comes up with the change-up of the songs on his own, when they are really covers made by other people)!! Cook for the Win!

Jason absolutely sucksssss!! Syesha was amazing, she is getting better and better each week and did an amazing job, she is by far the best vocalist on the show! i also like david cook a lot and even little Archuleta is growing on me so much, his first song was pretty good last night! so, basically Jason HAS to GO!! point made.

Syesha should win. She is the best of the 4 in my opinion. She has the voice, the looks and is a lot more diverse than the other 3. I really don’t understand what everyone has against her.

David A. has a good voice but other han that…..boring

David C. I like but he keeps doing the same rock thing week in week out.

Jason I likes in the beginning and I still think there is something about him but he is no American Idol.

>>Alexjonas @ 05/07/2008 at 12:25 am # 31 David Cook sucks!
Syesha just sucks…as i read through the comments nobody said anything about her.>>

Well, apparently Alexjonas, your eyesight is as bad as your hearing because I definitely mentioned her here (See the original IdolFan # 18 post).

My girl doesn’t suck like Jason unfortunately did tonight. And she provided the sparkle tonight with her beautiful face, smile and song delivery.

So get a new pair of ears !! And please, people, stop going for that okeydoke, goofy, fake-ass crap we get EVERY week from Archuleta. He’s the Antichrist !!!

ur ass bitch @ 05/07/2008 at 7:50 am

jason sucked last night. Simon was right. i had to pause my tv so i could skip his horrible performances! Pack ur bags Jason, one of the David’s is going to win. its so obvious!

Awww, Jason. I thought he would have done well in “Mr. Tambourine Man” but then he lost the lyric. I seriously have no idea what’s gonna happen tommorrow and I usually have an opinion set, lol. Do your thing, America, fingers crossed

btw, Archuleta took it tonight and I kinda liked David Cook’s second song, the Davids for top 2!

Oh come on David Archuleta has an amazing voice, and it’s not just all tweens voting for him..I’m in my late 30s and i really love him. I think he has talent and charm. Just what you need in Show biz. I think he’s gonna go really far, he really is an amazing singer.

And David Cook is awesome too but, really predictable…

The only thing predictable about David Cook is that he is going to change things up. And even then… when you think he’s going to be predictable he goes and sings a song straight (Phantom.) The guy is incredible with a fabulous voice and a personality to match.

Archie is a one trick pony with a crappy lower register. Sure, he sings great for a 12 year old… but recording artist he is not. What in the world is he going to record for a CD… 12 of the best inspirational songs ever? Yeah, that’ll sell. He’s the next Taylor Hicks.. everyone jumping on the bandwagon show-wise because he’s different, but it won’t translate into CD sales. He sounds like a giggly little 12 year old in his interviews and cannot put together more than a 5 word sentence to save his life. Get rid of him.

How many “second” chances does Jason need? He’s had his second chance.. and third… and fourth… He hasn’t been great since “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” I like the guy, but even HE has said that he is ready to go home. Let him.

Syesha was actually likeable last night. Not your typical screaming, but I wish she’d take a few hits for her continual copying of diva performances. People in every other season have been criticized heavily for it. She was, however, much better than the judges gave her credit for on both songs.

Wow, these arguments seem familiar..oh yeah. Season 4 with Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice. Carrie was always criticized for being boring and Bo was praised for his performances, but in the end it was Carrie that won by a landside and has sold 10 million albums in the US alone. They ruined Bo and that was sad.

If David Cook wins, AI will ruin him. He needs to control his own destiny and his records/songs like Daughtry was able to do. If he wins he will not be able to do that either.

David A. needs to win because they can mold him into whatever they want since he is so young.

i’m a fan of jason but i felt disappointed with his performance tonight. was that deliberate? he can’t be that same person who beautifully sang hallelujah and i don’t want to cry.

i’m still a fan but i’m okay with him going home after this. never mind ai, i’m still gonna buy all your albums jason. =)

ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS! ARE YOU TONE DEAF?
Why is everyone drooling over David A .. he is so boring, yes he can sing, but he is boring and he is no where near original!

You can hate on Syesha if you want to, but you’re wasting your time, she has fans and I’m sure she is geting some of Carly votes as well she has been in the bottom 3 since the top ten and has pulled through, I know she probably won’t win because this whole show is rigged up anyway, but she is the best out of the 4 .. she can sing, perform and she is beautiful, if she doesn’t win I hope David C does!

SYESHA ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fat gastric surgey “oreo” is too too hard on Syesha….. I just dont get it… take him and his “lily” wife and stripe kids go jump in a lake…

syesha was so awesome, and every time…………..he blasts her..

I love Paula Abdul for standing up to him

I agree with Monica, #51. I still dont see why people hate on Syesha, she can sing and she is the “AI” image. Sadly America doesn’t know talent because they vote for the “cute” ones to get through and basically will ruin these peoples career. I have a felling Syesha is going home tonight, even though I wish she and David Cook were in the top 2. My favorites were Carly, David Cook, and Syesha…

I stopped watching Idol after Carly left bc she shouldn’t have went home that night. Here and there I catch their performances. Jason NEEDS to go home, been saying that for a very long time. Even if he can “sing” (which I dont think so, but to each thier own) he will never be popular and be the AI bc no one listens to that crap. David A. is boring. Yes people, he is. He can sing, and he is cute, BUT I’m sooo sick of hearing him bc he puts me to sleep and there is no growth.

So I would like Syesha to end up in the top 2, I highly doubts it’s going to happen bc People hate her for some dumb reason, so my votes for David Cook to win.

David Cook has the most AMAZING voice i have ever heard and he is most definately going to win!!! I love you David!!!

Why can’t Archuletta sing any other style. I am sorry but I cannot stand him. He is nasaly (cannot spell sorry) - my husband thinks he sounds like Fozie bear. I physically have to walk away when he comes on becasue he sounds exactly the same EVERY preformance. Its old and played out. He needs to be doing musicals - defintly not trying to sell albums - he won’t sell any - he has no niche - no style - nothing. He’s just a dorky kid that can sing ballads - next please because I am over him. David Cook will be a star no matter what. Who ever thinks he is sexy - needs to be on the sexual preditors registry. There is nothing sexy about a goofy 17 year old tha makes stupid faces and has bad posture…..

For those complaining that the show has become a popularity contest, come on, the very fact that the producers have decided to let the people vote should have made it clear that it was to be a popularity contest - people voting for their favorites. And with the show actually letting people know more about the personal lives of the contestants, viewers are most likely to make some kind of connection to a particular contestant (thus a fan is born). If they don’t want it to be a popularity competition, elimination should just be based on the judges’ decisions…

BTW, I agree with MONICA#51 Archuleta is BORING. seriously BORING. I can’t imagine what its gonna be like for him after AI (if he wins.. which I hope not). Can anyone imagine him as a recording artist? Going on concert tours, performing at the Grammy’s etc?
Everything he sings becomes monotonous… his voice is boring.. if you listen to all his performances I wouldn’t be surprised if you fall asleep.

Jason: I’m a fan but he is… uhm.. losing it. Though I only started noticing him after he sang I don’t wanna cry… it was a cool version (as Simon said) but after that, everything went downhill.. its become painful to watch him sing… (though i download his studio recordings) I still like him though, but I feel that he kinda gave up on winning with all the Cook and Archuleta hype

David Cook and Syesha Mercado - whoever wins I won’t complain. The show has been hard on Syesha who i feel goes for the difficult songs just to prove her worth. I kinda think that she thinks that any song less than what she has sung in the competition would get her unnoticed and elimnated.. the crying was long overdue.

David Cook… kinda like him, good job on tweaking songs…identifiable and seems to know what he’s doing.

David A has a great voice but unfortunately for him he will end up being another Taylor Hicks. He has fans but will not pull a big support. He doesn’t have mass appeal.
David C. - Pray that he does not win. He could be the next daughtry. If he wins like someone else said AI will screw it up.
Castro- Sweet but should have been gone a long time ago. No mass appeal.
Syesha- She has the best chance if she wins to make something and sell records. That is who should win and who they can work well with.

AI is not just about singing voice. It is about talent, appeal and performance (not just voice). If they do not have the mass appeal (i.e. be liked by more than just a small group of people) they will be a Hicks. Fans loved him on the show but it was not enough people to buy his albums and make him into a star. Syesha and Cook are the only ones with this star potential. All jokes aside seriously David A could have a future with Disney.

HERE’S HOW I RANK THEIR PERFORMANCES:

1 AND 2.) DAVID OR DAVID BOTH ARE AWESOME :)

3.) SAYESHA YOU’RE HAIR LOOKS GREAT!! BUT I WOULD’NT TURN THIS INTO A CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.. ;)

3.) JASON .. THAT WAS AWFUL .. IF YOU MAKE IT THRU TONIGHT.. YOU MUST HAVE A FEW FANS VOTING FOR YOU A MILLION TIMES :(

I’m a little sad that David Cook sang Baba O’Reilly, because I had hoped Michael Johns would sing it 60s week. I’m still sad that he’s off the show :(

Randy and Simon are lousy actors. I guess they realized after last week that if they want to make it credible when they kick Jason off the show, regardless of votes, they better make Randy and Simon the scripted judges NOT Paula.

Who would really want to be on idol if they knew the show they were putting on was not about them singing, rather pretending to take a total sandbagging, even after a good performance.

Idol is like wresting now. Seriously. They were outraged at that performance? Hardly.
