David and David for the final two - Syesha sings and performs well but she's just not what the show is looking for. Cabaret? I like that she's being more herself but I don't think it matches AI.

For the first time in all the Idols, I voted. I have never done that before. I voted 10 times for David Cook. He deserves to win this, I said it from the very beginning.

I'm not a fan of any of the finalists this year. David C is this year's rocker, David A is a sweet kid with a nice voice, and Syesha is fairly talented but none of them blow me away. I haven't voted and won't vote for anyone. I certainly don't get all the love for David C. IMO he's just another dime a dozen rocker.

What was up with Randy telling Syesha she was #3?

exactly KL. Tells me that regardless of the vote, the two Davids will be in the finals.

I dont get the hype around David A. I think he's a one note singer. Nothing ever seems different, nothings ever amazing. Boring.

Ketchup, I noticed that too, Randy implying that Syesha was #3. He must see it that way cuz she was in the bottom two last week but it was a rude thing to say.

I hope its a David C. and Syesha finale but I think the fix has been in for David A. since the beginning. To me this show is losing its appeal. Can't wait for the Mole.

I loved them all! I think Syesha is the best performer that Idol has ever had, not the best singer for me but the best performer. I love her, she reminds me of Carrie Underwood, don't ask why she just does.

I loved David Cook tonight and thought David A did great!

very happy with the final 3

'Necee Syesha is my fave too. But it looks like the fix is in for a David playoff. Sigh. Hope I'm wrong. I also thought it was awful they way all the judges basically told her to pack her bags.

Yeah, but remember. Last season during the final three show, Simon said he wanted to see "his girl" Melinda in the finals, and it didn't happen. So you never know!

I would be surprised if it wasn't a David show in the finals, but with all the trouble they are having with David A's dad, they might not want to get stuck with him!

Randy didn't tell Syesha was the number three (as in third place). I think he meant it as she's in final three. It just came out wrong.

I'm not sure what Randy is doing, or what he's hearing, but I can't believe he continues to gush over David A. Simon got it right for all three (and all three performances for each) last night. But I don't get Randy. David A butchered his songs and Randy loved him? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?

I want to like Syesha, I really do. But her song choice last night was horrible. I think she was trying to be the sexy diva and she couldn't pull it off. She rushed Fever, and that is not a good sound.

Thought David C totally took it last night with his first and third songs.

David C's first song made me cry (the lyrics really hit home for me) I thought it was amazing. He'll challenge Daughtry for highest selling debut album.

David A... I got nothing. I'll say this, if the fix is in for him to win it I predict that his album will sell even fewer copies than Taylor Hicks' did. He'll be back to school and forgotten in a year.

Syesha...Should be grateful she made the top 12. In my opinion she has no vocal style or identity whatsoever. I've said before, her type is a dime a dozen. Good karaoke artist at best.

Off topic: Hi Tigerfan! Thanks for the birthday wishes! I would have stopped by your folder, but it has poofed! Hope all is well with you and Cindori. Stop by and leave me a note about how your new grandchild is doing when you get a chance. :-)

I voted for Syesha 10 times. I want her to be in the final two over David A! I want it to be her and David C.

I though Syesha really did well last night. Her performance was sexy and had personality.

I like Syesha. I think the last few weeks she looks and sounds like a star. I believe David Cook will and should win, but I couls see Syesha being a big star. She will have voice coaches to help her overcome the "pitchness" that Randy is always talking about. And she will have pros to help her choose the right material.

There were a couple of moments in her performances when she was remided me of Beyonce. Just a little, but it was there.

She has a strong, but untrained voice. she also has a great face and body, a wonderful smile, and a sweet personality. If she improves during the nest few months like she has during the show, just think how good she could be.

The others while better than her now, have not changed or improved all that much. What you go at the the beginning is what you get now. I see a lot of room for advancement in her and I hope someone gives her that opportunity.

I see David Cook and Syesha making records and having concerts.

I also see Syesha appearing in musical thearter.

David A. is going to have to mature a bit before he is ready for the concert route. David C. could carry a concert by himself. I would see David A. appearing with someone else as the lead act.

I re-read my post and it did seem a little harsh where Syesha is concerned. She really is a lovely and sweet girl. I will agree that she would proboably do very well in musical theater. I wish I could find the proper and respectful words to describe what it is about her singing that just seems so 'everyday hear it on the radio' to me. It's a nice voice don't get me wrong, there's just nothing unique or distinguishing about it.

I agree with you, Tigerfan. I really can see her in musical theater. That would be a good place for her. She does a bit of overacting and that would serve her well there. I think she's a doll but there's nothing extra special about her singing.

i think American Idol needs a good male winner (like David Cook) Taylor Hicks didn't do well and neither did Ruben.

Ruben did fine (compared to Taylor Hicks), but he hasn't come anywhere near what Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood have made.

Does anyone know if there are East Coast feeds available for AI in the same way that they were for BB? I'm going out tonight and don't want to wait until tomorrow to find out who makes the final two!

If anyone has one, would they PM it to me? Thank you!

as far as Ruben goes --- my view is Slow and steady wins the race. I think Kelly Clarkson is a flash in the pan. Carrie Underwood is a keeper in her genre. She will be like Ruben, she will have a market for a long long time.

I often wonder when being certified platinum in cd sales started being considered having bombed?

Many previous idol contestants are not getting much radio play but are successful in other areas, be it touring, charitable works, collaborations with other artists, theater, celebrity appearances or many more ventures. I am an admitted Idol geek, but I have been impressed with the work being produced by so many of the former contestants. I'm glad it isn't just a "pop" contest and that there are musical styles, and personalities, to please just about everyone. That's what keeps me watching each season, and following the careers post-AI, despite all the things I dislike about the production of the show.

Hi Mak--I was wondering if you know how well Elliot Yamin is doing? I really like him and hope he is making a decent living. I know he has had at least 1 or 2 CDs released.

I like to know how well their careers progressed, too. The exposure they get from AI is a huge boost for them.

Hi Smokey. Elliott has had two big hits from his indie cd so far. He did a concert tour in the Philippines, where they love him! Recently, he did concerts in Japan. He has been working with JDRF too. Oh yeah, and he did some Christmas songs. I don't know if it was a complete cd or just downloads.

Here's a link to one of his original fansites: yaminions.com

I loved season 5!

I still can't understand why David C is on this show. Of the 3, I like him the best vocally, but they are all very ordinary, imo, and this will be the limits of their 15 minutes of fame. Having said that, Syesha has the personality to be a tv personality.
