Syesha has to go. I mean, come on. If not her, it's time for KLC to go, no matter how smokin she is. Oh, and Castro better have a wicked good version of his song or he may slip past the girls mentioned above and head back to Dall-ass.

detlef Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) For the record: The next episode of this show that I watch will be my first. I have not even caught a few minutes or two surfing. Seriously, I've probably amassed about 2 total hours of Idol from nothing more than promos run during other shows (it's Fox, right? So I guess it pretty much is only promos run during football season because I don't ever watch anything else on that network). Honestly, is it just a bunch a tools singing? Then the winner gets to bang a QB? Is that how it works? Edited April 8, 2008 by detlef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilly Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I've lost interest in this show. I think they need to get rid of Simon, Paula, and Randy, and bring in some fresh faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampnuts Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I want to do deliciously evil things to Brooke White. I usually watch until she performs and then turn it off, that Archuleta kid makes me want to slit my wrists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is playing it off much better than the guy did a few years ago. I don't honestly expect these guys to be able to arrange songs in less than a week. There is only so much band time each person gets. I do expect them to give credit (before hand) to whoever's version they are using though. Hasn't always happened so far. Seacrest has been doing a better job of it than the contestants/judges. When they record their own songs, they will have to get approval and/or pay royalties to people they sample from. AI is doing most of this for them by paying the people in their theme of the week or giving the contestants certain songs from a list.

Controller Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Honestly, is it just a bunch a tools singing? Then the winner gets to bang a QB? Is that how it works? Pretty much, however when Ruben Studdard won, Tony Romo reportedly wasn't as receptive as he was last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Here is my take on this week: Michael Johns -- "Dream On" by Aerosmith Good.....not great Syesha Mercado -- "I Believe" by Fantasia O.k. at best. Sounded like she was singing the low parts so too lightly (you could barely hear her) Jason Castro -- "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland Agreed with the judges. His best so far, and my favorite performance of the night. Kristy Lee Cook -- "Anyway" by Martina McBride I know I'm in the minority on this site, but, I love country music, and thought this was her best performance by far this season David Cook - "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace Once again, I agreed with the judges. This was his worst this season, but, past performances should still keep him safe Carly Smithson -- "The Show Must Go On" by Queen She can sing, but, she continues to bring nothing else to the table. I was expecting better, as I like this song David Archuleta -- "Angels" by Robbie Williams VERY Good performance by him again tonight. I know he seems to rub some the wrong way, but, I think he is genuine and extremely talented Brooke White -- "You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor Another one that I find genuine. I was a bit disappointed, as this was another song I like, and I think she was decent, but not great. I do like her though. My choice for bottom three: Syesha, Carly, Brooke (David Cook gets a pass, as he has been phenomenal to this point) My choice to go home: Syesha Who I think will be bottom three: Syesha, Carly, Kristy Lee Who I think will go home: Syesha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I want to do deliciously evil things to Brooke White.

I didn't see it tonight, but I will say I really like...no, I LOVE the version of Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole, but I like his music anyway. I HATE the original Judy Garland song. What a Wonderful World is my favorite song ever. Me & Michelle danced to it at our wedding & I feel it every time I hear it. It's so simple yet it really puts things in perspective for me.
