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.

I voted for DAVID COOK!

ok, as someone with a ton of vocal experience, heres my opinion:

David Cook: FANTASTIC recording voice. he does come off as a bit cocky sometimes, but i think its his confidence as a performer being construed that way. I wasn’t impressed last nite, but by all rights, and the overall performances, Cook deserves to win this competition. Even is he doesn’t win, he will still sell more records than any of the other contestants.

David Archuleta: pleasant voice, but very young. im not sure what he will accomplish music-wise after this show. he is getting so many votes because of his “bashful, humble” persona and smile, as well as his youth. Some great performances, but not as consistant as Cook’s. Last night he did better than David Cook, though, I will admit.

Syesha Mercado: spectacular range. but her voice is better suited for broadway. i think that is where she’d be most sucessful, if she can act- but if the tears and speech about the civil rights movement last were any indication, than I guess she can. Good voice, but pretty forgettable.

Jason Castro: decent voice. but decent is not good enough for this kind of a competition. the votes for him need to cease IMMEDIATELY. yes, his eyes are blue, and he has a goofy smile. but come on, he does NOT deserve to have gotten as far as he has. As with Cook, I think his quiet and mellow personality has been incorrectly construed, but I do agree that his song choices are either weird or poorly executed. And about forgetting the lyrics, yes it happens and has happened with other contestants, but at least the rest of the others’ actual performance was alright. His voice doesnt have enough strength to carry him any further. He is the one that should be eliminated tonight.

David Cook for the win!!!!! :)

*bell*

The judges seem to be unaware of how boring Archuleta sounds. His performances last night were forgettable and not ones i’d want to hear (or see) again. He’s a cute, nice little kid, with a good voice, but COME ON. he’s a small step up from elevator muzak.

u kno wat i don’t care who wins cuz David Archuleta will always be my FAVORITE and he will get a ercord deal regardless! so i don’t give a furry rat’s but who wins BUT i HATE Cook and he is a FAKE CHRIS DAUGHTRY!

poor jason!!! he doesnt deserve to be in the top four anyways!!!

VOTE FOR DAVID COOOKKKKK!!!!
DAVID COOOKKKKK!!!

VOTE FOR DAVID ARCHULETA @ 05/07/2008 at 4:47 pm

DAVID ARCHULETA IS THE NEW AMERICAN IDOL!

I think that the only reason you David Archuleta fans like his music is because you’re all obsessed with how CUTE he is. I’d bet the farm that that if he was a 28-year old, short, overweight guy, you wouldn’t be as into it. FACE IT.

I’m so tired of reading the same thing… don’t you all the 12YO that read this have something else to do than say Archuleta rocks?
For pete’s sake, the poor dude didn’t do anything right last night… he did BALLADS when the topic was Rock & Roll can’t he even read??
It’s a shame he’s gonna end up like Taylor Hicks (sarcasm)

David Cook did amazing last night!! I voted 25 times last night!! He’s definitely the next american idol! He does everything just right and… let’s face it, he’s on top of everyone there! Syesha might end up with him in the final 2.

This week Jason is gonna go
Next week hopefully Archuleta and his boring way of singing

#15

Ok first of all
i vote for david archuleta and i definately DID NOT vote for taylor hicks in season 5. i hated him. Chris Daughtry was way more talented

and david archuleta is amazing. his vocals are incredible

I hope David Cook wins it all.

#70

i said people who seem to adore him, not vote for him, but still.. archuleta sucks really.. you need to realize that
