I thought that Jason did a nice job with the Dylan song--'cept for forgetting the lyrics, of course. doesnt he know, only Brooke gets a pass for that?

I don't think the judges were happy with Cook's second song, btw, but bit their tongues cause they wanted to be sure he stayed in the comp

Jason was a hot mess.

I am so completely over David A...haven't like anything he has done since Long and Winding Road.

Syesha...I wanted a more soulful version of the Sam Cooke song, and I loved the first part of Proud Mary, but not so much once she started getting all shrieky.

David C. was just okay tonight. Liked The Who song better than Duran Duran, but I think he was the favorite of the night for me.

All in all, for final four, I'm not terribly impressed.

Find that I'm REALLY missing Michael Johns...

A season that started out with such high expectations, great performances and great potential has certainly turned into a dud as far as I'm concerned. The only person in the final four whose performances I like is David C. Syesha is okay.

I'm not enjoying Jason or David A.'s performaces at all at this point. The whole thing is just a big disappointment. It could have been such a great competition with a different final four.

My heart sank last night when Jason screwed up so badly. He is still my favorite and I will hold on to a little hope that he stays until I hear him singing his farewell song.

I sincerely get zero enjoyment out of watching David A. and Syesha. They are bland to me. I realize David C. is very talented, but he's just not for me.

I got through very easily, many times, calling for David Cook last night. That scares me.

I thought Syesha was great last night but was not thrilled by her second song...but I was comparing it in my head to Queen Latifah singing it in Hairspray and the Queen KILLED that song...I thought Syesha's version of it was too overdone. But still I think she deserves to get into the final 3 (I would say final 2 but I figure David A is going to get there regardless of how I feel about him...although last night he bugged me the least he has in weeks).

I voted for Jason extra hard last night because he is my favorite and everyone is allowed a bad week (Brooke got 2). FTR, I always vote for him.

=== ducking from the rotten fruit being thrown my way, LOL ===

I like him too, but he's been quoted as losing interest in winning... and his apathy shows. It's disappointing cuz he's so talented and imho is the whole package with his personal style. Now it seems like he's actively trying to lose!

It was so painful to watch/listen to Jason last night. Jim and I just cringed when he muddled up the Bob Marley song. I feel like he is not using very much intelligence in the competition. Carley and Brooke are much better performers, and one of them should still be there, not Jason.

I made about 15 calls for David Cook also. This is the first time I've voted since the competition started.

I would never buy David A's cd, but I think he has a great voice.
Syesha was my favorite last night and I loved David C's 2nd song.

I think Jason is going home but I still enjoy his smile.

I'm with Jimmer...the whole thing is just a dud for me at this point.

I long for a different Idol, where David A, David C, Carly and Michael Johns are the final four!

Is it just me, or is this the most boring final four ever?

Yes. Very boring. I did vote for David C because I think he's the best. I didn't hit a single busy signal which is frightening!

Nope, Prisonerno6, it isn't just you. It's a very disappointing Final Four.

I am completely disinterested at this point, although I will probably continue to watch through the finale, since I already have so much time invested.

But at this point, I couldn't care less who wins. I would prefer it to be David C, but am guessing it will probably be David A.

I have a feeling that it will be David A. too. That's not exactly a bad thing for David C.

I thought Syesha was fabulous last night! wow! David A did really great too. (I think he is such an excellent singer. However, I think the AI needs more confidence and stage presence than he shows after his performances.) David C's second song was great! It seemed like the band had their microphones off during his first song. When I saw the recap at the end of his first song, I laughed, he looked kind of comical with his staring during Hungry Like the Wolf. I thought that would be a really good song for him but I was somewhat disappointed.

If David A wins the season, I'll totally lose interest and not watch next season.

If David C gets kicked out tonight, I'm done with THIS season.

Oh, geez, Costacat. Don't even SAY that! If that happens, I will NOT be watching through to the finale.

Then again, isn't this the week Chris Daughtry got eliminated? And we all know how well he is doing...

Just sayin'...

I think someone else mentioned that NOT winning might be just fine for David Cook.

I'm with Costa. If David C. leaves tonight, I won't watch anymore because I just won't care.

There is something odd about this season, and I don't think it is entirely the fault of the contestants. The judges have really outdone themselves with their fickleness and conflicting expectations. It is as if the contestants have all but tuned them out, and they are getting burned out on these song books that they are unfamiliar with, and see this thing as a big roulette game, and know that they'll probably have a career regardless of what happens....and we are all sensing that

I think that the song books and celebrity guests are a bad idea. Some people aren't comfortable singing certain types of music. Therefore, not surprisingly, it sounds like a karaoke performance when they do it and it shows absolutely nothing that is relevant to assessing their talent (unless they are looking for good karaoke singers).

I think the vote numbers are being inflated, or the phone voting system has been improved to handle volumes. I voted off and on for an hour last night, for David A. and never got a busy signal.
Yes, I voted for David A. Honestly, wouldn't by a CD by any of them but based on what I've read about the stage Dad I feel bad for David A. Think he has an amazing voice and his surprise at praise from the judges comes across as sincere to me. I think he hears so much negativity from the stage Dad that he's truly humbled to be complimented. My hope for him is that he wins, has the opportunity to gain confidence in himself and kicks his Dad to the curb the day he celebrates his 18th birthday.

If David C is gone I expect a lot of viewers will drop off. David A has a great voice but he is a kid. he isnt an "Idol". Come back in 10 years.

Here's an article from the Kristen you always see on E channel. She was at the rehearsal and live show yesterday.

"My Heart Goes Out to Jason Castro"

http://www.eonline.com/gossip/...

I thought this was interesting:

I can tell you that in rehearsal, the guy was good—really good. And so obviously, his nerves got the best of him...
