David Cook was awesome tonight…syesha was pretty good too.
DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK
DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK
Oh by the way, I’m voting for David Cook.
McSquinty raspyvoice is rigged to win. I hate how the fix is in,
SYESHA MERCADO WAS THE BEST TONIGHT, I hate how the judges obciously did everything to make people try not to vote for her. VOTE FOR SYESHA. She is entertaining, sangevery well and sang OLD songs like the others. Simon’s remark about her not picking contemporary songs was a dig at her. The others were not singing contemporary songs either!!!!!!Randy NEEDS TO STOP with his saying David can sing the phone book. NO RANDY. DAVID CAN WHEEZE HIS WAY thru a phone book not sing it. David Cook fell off this week but it really should be David Cook and Syesha just to counter the obvious pimping of David Archuleta.
DAVID A!
My husband and I are voting for David Cook only.
Syesha is a young Eartha Kitt. If they ever do a movie about Eartha Kitt, Syesha is the one. As a matter of fact, I……I think I just got an idea!!!!!!!!!!
David Cook!!!
buh bye syesha.
COOOKIEE!!! DAVID COOK IS GONNA WIN!
DAVID COOK ALL THE WAY !!!!
THE BEST OF THE NIGHT !
thank you, Crystal. you’re like, the only person on here that likes David Archuleta. i say David A, too. he’s so great. amazing voice, and such a cutie.
he should defiantly win!
I’ve been a David Cook fan since you sang Happy Together on the first night! He is AWESOME!
I HOPE TO GOD THIS IS THE END FOR DAVID ARCHULETTA!!!
He was booooooring tonight….
David Cook was Awesome! (as usual)
Syesha was the best she’s been!
DAVID COOK AND SYESHA FOR THE FINALE!
Hello, Syesha is no Beyonce and how more boring can Archuleta be? Come on people, Cook is going to win, has to win, if there is any justice in the world!!!!! Mind you, all the little girls and old ladies are going to vote for Archuleta cos “he’s so cute”. FYI, girls and ladies, he’s G-A-Y and you’ll never have a chance with him . Sorry!!!
David Cook rocks. I want him voted off so he can do something good instead the cheesy BS that AI will force him into.
Archeleto (sp?) sings wonderfully but looks ridiculous on stage. Too childlike. Hope he wins because he will not make it on his own.
Seyisha (sp?) is good. She will get a recording contract without the win.
as much as i love and think that Syesha is amazingly talented, I do believe she will leave tomorrow most likely (dont mean to jinx anything…) and MY FAV IS DAVID COOOKKKKKKKKK he did “I Don’t Want to Miss A thing” sooooo well!!!!!
David A. is great, but the show is soooo rigged in his direction, and the majority of people that vote are voting for him because he is cute…etc… he needs to not always be on the safe side and be more daring, because that is the main reason why he gets good comments, b/c he chooses safe songs!!
David Archuleta is the new Fantasia. The pimping started from go.
David Archuleta!!!!!! he was robbed with that last song though. that song was so boring. The other two were rockin though
joelyd @ 05/13/2008 at 10:15 pm
thank goodness Syesha is no Beyawnce. One is enough. Especially when that one thinks she’s Tina Turner.
DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK
David Cook: AMERICANIDOL ALL THE F#%*ING WAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Syesha: She should win or be 2nd place, i thought this show was about taking risks and growing. That is what she and David Cook have been doing all along!!!!!!!!!!
David Archuleta: He needs to go! i love him to bits, but every dayum week, he does the same thing over and over again.. and I hate how Randy overpraises him. And Simon is losing his ear for talent as well.
Paula…well, not much to say is there? And he ruined my favorite song ‘With You” ,when he sang ‘i need you boo’, it was cute, but i was laughing so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
david cook
David cook massacred the Roberta Flack song.
Yawn @ 05/13/2008 at 10:20 pm
thank goodness Syesha is no Beyawnce. One is enough. Especially when that one thinks she’s Tina Turner.
———————————————————–
and Beyonce “can’t act worth shi-t” asss is about to destroy another potentially good film, portraying another great singer!!!!
Cook’s Aerosmith song doesn’t work =(
Geez….someone get David Cook some sunlight….or tanning minutes…
As much as I love David Cook, I really didn’t ike the way they did Syesha tonight. I bet she’s still happy though. She did really well in the competition.
Word Nerd For the Win!!!!
David Cook 08
I just noticed that all the people who are writing bad things about Cook, is because your jelous that he did awesome tonight,and you fave archie, didn’t… besides, you should remember what Simon said ‘IT’S LIKE A CHIHUAHUA TRYING TO BE A TIGER’
:3
David Cook will get a record deal no matter what. Syesha Mercado will probably be on Broadway as soon as she’s off the AI tour (which is what she really wants) and David Archuleta will get to make a CD, turn 18 and be legally free of his dad.
If this show was about talent the order should be
1.David Cook
2. Syesha Mercado
3. David archuleta
again if it was about talent not personality like the show is portrayed as
DAVID COOK! He must win, he is so so good.
DAVID COOK IS THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL ! ! !
OMG, he’s soooooooo hot ! lol
david archuleta all the way
I think next year they should have different judges I don’t know what’s going on with Paula Randy and even Simon they don’t know what there doing anymore for people who give out good performances they give them a bad review and for average performers and bad performances like David archuleta they give them good reviews I don’t get it
next american idol….
DAVID ARCHULETA!
GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE.
HES THE BEST.
I also think that next year the judges should have 25% of the decision
DAVID COOK! david a is only staying bc all the girls like him
Is David Archuleta retarded? Cause he talks like a retarded kid. That whole OMG I am shy and amazed act that he puts on his OLD very OLD! That little boy has been singing publicly long before he even turned 10.
that wasnt supposed to be a happy face lol. =/
DAVID COOK
David Cook is amazing!!! He’s def the next back thing no doubt!! David A. did a good job too. Syesha should be OUT tomorrow..her time has come!!
s David Archuleta retarded? Cause he talks like a retarded kid. That whole OMG I am shy and amazed act that he puts on his OLD very OLD! That little boy has been singing publicly long before he even turned 10.
He’s playing that oh i’m so shy so he can get the sympathy vote he can;t sing I don’t understand
Syesha has class, beauty, talent not only can sing sing the girl can give a performance she can act she’s so graceful.
Cook: Amazing performer he rocks out to pretty much every tune
Archuleta: needs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no talent, he’s to safe and he killed with you by Chris Brown
David Cook to win it ALL! I will buy his first CD.
David Archuleta is this year winner!!!!
syesha all the way baby she’s the last woman standing she is amazing
Syesha sang very well. but I don’t think she has many fans. But she will do well and score a good recording contract in any case.
ARCHULETA
Everyone needs to realize,they are voting fo the American Idol.
Who is not someone that we think is adorable ,like Archuleta.
We all know David Cook is a ten times better performer,with better varieties.
And we all know he deserves to win the Idol more than anyone else.
How freaking awkward was WITH YOU? I felt bad for him, the music biz is gonna chew and spit that kid out. It’s not even that good. Cook better freakin win, If the girl knew piano and played it during IF I AINT GOT YOU, it would have been soooooo much better. She’s not original and boring. I think however, this is my last season of idol. I think we’ve hit rock bottom talent wise. They should make them write atleast one song so they aren’t always compared to the original artist.
what Katie?! she doesn’t have to many fans? she’s in the top 3 and not to mention she’s the last woman standing!!!! she has tons of fans. There’s a difference between talent vs. personality
is it just me or did david a.’s confidence seem really low tonight…? mayb it has to do with all the controversy with his dad
Poor Chihuahua…I think it’s time to go home with Dadda….
Cook was wonderful, I love him, I obssesed with him…I’ve voted so many times tonight.
Cook you’re already my Idol!!
People will likely vote for that annoying Archuleta kid. He will likely win, but shouldn’t and will only end up like Taylor Hicks and Clay Aiken. He cannot sell records and is boring with an overzealous dad.
On the other hand, Cook has the success of Chris Daughtry behind him. People might vote for him bc they realized they made a mistake with Chris Daughtry in season 6(?).
It was hard to vote for Syesha because it was busy but I did manage to finally get through
Syesha was the only one that took a risk today with her song choices. She chose songs that the judges and people wouldn’t normally see her singing which is a great thing because it proves what a true and risky taking artist she really is. Archuleta played it safe and did awful cook did good but again didn’t take a risk it was a typical cook performance.
okay seriously for those who likes stupid little archuleta are retarded. the kid CAN NOT SING! he ruined With You. what the hell is wrong with that kid. he needs to go now.
we also know he is gay…we don’t need another gay kid fluttering around who can’t even sing.
A bad final 3
hmmm.. this wasn’t the greatest night, but clearly, David A and Syesha were INFERIOR!!!!
Lees @ 05/13/2008 at 11:34 pm
Clay Aiken wasn’t the winner of American Idol it was Rueben Studdard. Clay has been very busy. He was on the tonight Show with Jay leno last night. Very entertaining. Ruben, Taylor have not been heard of lately or even last year’s winner..what’s her face..
David Cook !
DAVID COOK
david cook<3
durr,I’ve been voting for him for a straight hour. :]!
My Cookie is sooo gonna win!!!! That first song he sang was UH-MAZING!!!!!
davids will go to the finals
All three of them are quite good and they all have their respective niches awaiting them in the music industry. None of them however is completely unique with each new song. David Cook usually starts out mumbly and ends with the same predictable big finish every time. Archuleta’s style is equally predictable, throwing in a few too many of the same runs when he really doesn’t need to. Seyesha is a great singer but hasn’t had me saying “Wow” yet, not even once.
Some of the song choices tonight were tragic, in particular that horrible third song that was chosen for David A. There’s no improving on that song because its just so bad there’s really no place to take it. They might as well have given him Muskcrat Love or Afternoon Delight to sing.
AI has been a very big disappointment this year. Not because of the talent, but the song choices have been horrendous . Virtually every time they give the contestants a choice, they pick songs that do not showcase their talents.
David Cook is amazing. His performance of Weber’s “Music of the Night” won me over. I am trusting that in the hands of a good producer and recording company rep, he will have the same chance of success as Daughtry. But he will need to put his trust in someone who really knows this business as he cannot yet pick music which compliments his vocal range.
While David Archuletta certainly has talent, his charisma fades when the music stops. He is not ready for public life.
David A is a good singer, but booooooring and no personality. The poor kid can barely talk.
David C is all-around good and will have a great career whether or not he wins.
Whatever. Syehsa is toast. The producers want the two Davids to battle it out. David Cook will win because David A’s Dad was a pain in the ass to everyone involved with AI.
Archuleta is such a one-trick pony. tonight pretty much showcased that fact. WTF was he thinking with his choice of “with you”?!?!?! the sad thing is the tweens are voting like mad to keep him in because he was so weak tonight…. VOTE FOR COOK!!!!!
COOK FTW, damnit!
But I trully wanted Syesha in the finals with Cook..
Archuleta should have gone home, since “We can work it out”.. –’
Boring… no personality… and like #77 said.. the kid can’t barely talk…
vote for DAVID COOK!
say no to gay archuleta
SYESHA!!!! She is so amazing!
yes. she is still there. even though in my opinion she was the best today I am not sure she has enough fans (like tween girls drooling for pretty boys) to take her through to the final. So Jasmine keep your fingers crossed.
David Cook is gonna win
David A is going to win. If David C. wins you fools will be so disappointed.
Syesha sounded like she was auditioning for part on Broadway.. not to win a recording contract.
Anyway, I think David Cook has the most talent on the show right now- artistically and vocally. His range is astonishing. And although his voice seemed hoarse tonight, you could still recognize that it was a beautiful voice that was probably over-worked.
Oddly, i miss jason as well. he has a lovely, soothing voice that I LOVE listening to. It’s subtle and i feel like the judges are more partial to OBVIOUS voices. But it’s beautiful if you really pay attention.
DAVID COOK ALL THE WAY!!!
anyways…david A’s With You was REALLY BAD….right when he started i was already laughing…i couldn’t believe it…it was like a little kid pretending to be Chris Brown…omg…and he always looks and sounds the same old, same old…i really don’t get why the judges always praise him, especially Randy. every week he praises him…do i smell Favoritism?? no matter what David COOK is gonna win!!!
Archuleta! Cook is too rock for me, sorry, i’m into balladeers. hehe
Cook got my votes.
Syesha will be gone this week. But we all knew it would come down to that.
Simon has called the winner every season and he definitely wants Cook to come out on top. Hopefully he will have stellar performances that exhibit the dynamic range of his voice as well as the gritty unique style of which he is so capable.
GOODBYE SYESHA.
DAVID ARCHULETTAAA IS GONNA WINN BYY FAAAR!!!!
100% ARCHULETA SUPPORTER.
DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK DAVID COOK
people seem to make such a big deal out of archuleta’s age. like he’s not deserving because he’s still a kid. what does it matter that he’s 17? he’s doing something extraordinary for someone his age. the question is what YOU were doing when you were his age.
not an archuleta fan, but sheesh, give the kid a break.
agree with win win at #38 (i know that’s like 2 pages before, sorry :]), Cook (for the win, btw) will get a record deal no matter what, Syesha’s going to broadway.
and j at #93, I’m with you on that, give archie a break.
Btw, Cook was uh-mazing! (even though i felt his second song finished a bit too quickly, like what paula said)
Thought Syesha did better than what the judges said bout her, and Archie was, well… Archie (his first song was good).
THE DAVIDS FOR FINALE! fingers crossed, hoping for my ideal top 2, all season long I’ve been down with some early faves getting the boot way too early! Vote! Vote!
VOTE FOR ACHULETA!!!! PLEASE~ im not from AMerica
To Katie N but that doesn’t mean you don;t have fans millions of people are calling in. People are just so biased towards Archuleta when the kid doesn’t even have talent he can barely speak and he’s playing that i’m so shy and innocent so people can vote me card
SYESHA ROCKS! Bottom Line and is the best out of the 3, if she goes home tonight, I won’t vote for anyone and could care less who wins after that but I don’t want it to be Davi A, yes he can sing, but he is boring and is not entertaining on stage, and who ever made that comment about Beyonce, YOU CAN HATE IF YOU WANT TO, BUT YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME, she is a very sucessful “BLACK” women …. people have made this show about race when it should be about talent, and clearly that’s not what’s being done, from the people to the judges .. but we all know this show is rigged!
GO BEYONCE
GO BARACK OBAMA
AND SYESHA ROCKS
ok, well i dont think he is really that cute
David A needs to go home!!! he does the same kind of songs every week!!!! Ballad after Ballad after Flippin Ballad!!! Hes 17 he needs to be doing young hip songs!!!!
1. ) DAVID COOK WAS THE BEST
2.) DAVID A WAS 2ND
3.) SAYESHA IT JUST WASN’T ENOUGH BUT STILL GOOD
BEFORE COOK SANG THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOUR FACE BY
ROBERTA BLACK…I WAS KIND OF LAUGHING ON THE
INSIDE…BUT HE REALLY PULLED IT OFF HA HA HA
•Doesn’t the fact that David Cook had to wish his mom a BELATED happy Mothers’ Day mean he didn’t call her on actual Mothers’ Day? That only appealed to the millions of rock-loving moms who’d also forgotten that Mothers’ Day was on Sunday.
David Cook? He seemed awfully, awfully pleased with himself, didn’t he?
Just jared and TMZ are stupid and those haters, go dig your head on the ground. David cook is corky, smug and screaming as loud as he could and that’s all he has. Archie is a role model for all young generation, he inspires people not ony whith his voice but also his personality.
Wake up all uneducated people.
i dont really care….. i love both David`s and in the past America has done a terrible job about the voting thing….., but the thing is that no matter who wins, that doesnt mean whos gonna be famous and whos not…..
Whatever. I think after all the bad acting by the judges, we all know they are fixing the top 4 spots. Paula is going to predict whether Seyesha’s performance was enough? Since when can she form opinions. It would have been better if they went ahead and fixed it, and didn’t try to explain it before hand with OBVIOUSLY scripted, out of character comments by the judges we’ve seen make predictions for 7 years now.
To Mimi (#102)
If Archuleta inspires all the young generation, well… let’s hope a 55% of the young boys will declare gay this year.
The kid doesn’t have a personality, girl! He can’t even talk by himself not even when daddy’s around him.
David Cook
>>I have to say, David Archuleta did an amazing job! WIth you!
>>Syesha ewwwww!
DAVID ARCHULETA ALL THE WAY BABY!
David Cook is the new American Idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR HEEEEEEE
David Cook<3
i’m sorry, but david archuleta managed to screw up the words to a song he picked, then he do not deserve to win american idol. However, i do hope he win, because most of the winners don’t do well after american idol.
i think tat David Archuleta sure win!!! He’s so talented!!!!! I think he will be the next american idol for sure!!!!!
syesha was the best tonight i think that she should win!
