He is so effing annoying! Who the hell would want a CD full of ballads from a 17 year old who can't even breathe well enough to sing properly?! Who the heck buys CD's of American Idols. If you close your eyes and listen to them on TV they all sound horrible. I've thought that for weeks because I'm often working on the computer during the show and not facing the TV set. With rare exceptions, the singing sounds wretched and I wouldn't buy any of their albums. No wonder ratings are down - this show is getting predictable and boring.

Former contestants Antonella Barba, Luke Menard and Carly Smithson were in the audience seats. David A's performance became brilliant as his song choice went horrible two weeks ago during Andrew Lloyd Webber week. Syesha became the sole female finalist ever in American Idol and her top 4 performance became good and brilliant voice. Last Edited By: Apprentice Talker 05/07/08 06:00 AM. Edited 1 times.

The song was almost unrecognizable. and when they showed it in the recap did he hit some horrible high note at the end that he did not sing for the live show?

As I've said before, I try to imagine listening to a radio while listening to the show, and the top 2 IMHO are Cook and Sayesha. With Castro the likely choice next week, my $ is on a final 2 of Sayesha and Archie with Cookie "mysteriouslly" finishing third. If it's a 2 Davids final, and Archie wins, I think a lot more viewers will see it for the sham that it is. TPTB want somemone young that they can control and put songs on the NOW albums. If its Archie and Sayesha, TPTB will be able quell a controversial win.

I look away from the tv and I can't stand to listen to Porkchop. Syeesha sounds just like every other pop diva wannabe out there. She shoulda tried out for Girlicious. As for Cookie, he's not unique but the music he likes to play is the music I like to listen to so I would most likely not change the radio dial if he came on and would probably buy his album. As for those who think Jason gave up and gave "fuck you" performances last night............... I don't know if I agree w/it, but if you notice Porkchop at all you'd see that kid is screaming for help inside. He looks positively terrified during the judge's comments (like he's going to faint) and when he's singing it's like he's not there mentally. I believe his mind is SO consumed with trying to please his father that there's no joy in singing for him.

The dog knows he should be happy but also looks to be in extreme pain. I'm almost feeling sad for him but I hate him too much. The judges need to start praising creativity over all else and making fun of conformity and this would make a much better show. The sameness in performances is getting so old but it's not all the contestants fault, the judges are beating the freshness out of them too. I hate how David Cook started to rock for 1 second and stopped! WTF? Personally if I were D.Cook I would have trusted my instincts and went way bigger with that. Just save time by dropping a few teenage wastelands and just went all out with a sick guitar solo. We know he can sing, if he really can play guitar too it would have added a fresh dimension and brought the rock to the show big time. Jason is just not up to live shows in that capacity IMO, he can't handle the pressure and I think the reason he looks stoned is, he is stoned, he has to medicate himself to go on and his drug of choice is probably Blunts. However this is causing him memory loss and inappropriate looks he probably doesn't even mean to give. I feel like we aren't seeing the true Jason and if he could dial back the weed a little he could be much, much better. Syesha is great at singing and has the spirit of a performer but her ego is so big, I just can't stand her. But she is probably the best singer there... well by a matter of microscopic amounts.

He realized he was a goner this week or the next and figured he might as well go out singing his style as it would be the last chance his fans got to see him. I mean he fancies himself a folk singer, not singing AI pop week after week. Now maybe the judges realized this but needed to hammer him because of the fan vote, but I think it might have been overkill and he could get sympathy votes out of it.

Ryan, you don't know shit (obviously, if you're telling this kid that he's talented), and you don't get a say. Give out the numbers and shut the fuck up!

And if he did, he covered in such a way that it actually made the performance BETTER. In any case, I specifically evaluated Castro on his performance aside from the word flub, specifically because I don't think that forgetting words is the determining factor as to whether or not a singer is talented...

I'm simply trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and not boil his entire performance down to that one flub. Now why exactly do you even think that what Archtard did was a flub? Do you really think that "Beautiful Girls" thing was an accident?! Bullshit! On top 12 Beatles week, we saw how well David handles a flub. It ain't pretty when he flubs! Are you saying that he somehow magically developed some ability to improvise under pressure? No way!!

He should have chosen a different song to fuck up on, and done a perfect job with the Dylan. I didn't mean to say he was screwing up on purpose or anything - I just think he went with two songs that are pretty much anti-AI. He fancies himself a folk singer and that's certainly not what AI is looking for. This sort of thing happened a few times on Rockstar : Insert Band Name Here, but I guess it was different because the band could see what the singer was doing and grant them their wish as both band and singer saw the writing on the wall which is simply you're not winning this comp, here's the platform to do your thing and show the viewers what you are about before we eliminate you. Also Simon was dangerously close to telling Jason he can't sing Marley because he isn't black.
