Lol, Maris. I read the name on either eonline or people or something like that this morning. They were less than overwhelmed like I was. I don't think Ramiele is goin' anywhere this early. Remember Jasmine Trias? Ramiele probably has that vibe and that segment of the voting public voting for her. I just hope it's not Chikezie going home.

I am very underwhelmed by Chikezie, he just isnt getting the right coaching during this competition. he has the pipes, as they say. Last night I think was his best performance. I think if he sang Masquerade by George Benson next week he would just wow them.

I think so, too. He has a beautiful voice, but he's definitely the amateur in this. He hasn't had the previous reality show exposure or the previous record deals. Where are the people that are supposed to be helping these kids?

I'm not feeling Ramiele at all but the kids do seem to like her - remember the viewer call from the teenager asking what was on Ramiele's Ipod at the moment? She must be cool for the kids. Didn't Carly already sing her song and better? I would prefer Ramiele or Kristy went home but I guess it's not going to happen and Chikeze will suffer for it. I am pretty fascinated by all the "stage Dad" rumors floating around David's father. That stuff interests me greatly (not enough to watch I Kow My Kid's a Star, but I do have to have a life) and I am eating up every tidbit. I also noticed Simon's comment and wondered it it was directed at the father. I also noticed only the mother spoke in the video for him and the Dad was just there smiling away. I also noticed they had their children dressed up and dancing together at quite a young age - not alarming in and of itself but only along with all the other things we have heard so far.

My name is Penguin..I'm a David Cookaholic. I just can't believe how much I like David Cook. I'm 44 years old (soon to be 45) and I'm acting like some teenager. I spent most of last night calling for David C. I have watch AI since Carrie Underwood but never have I seriously voted for anyone like I have for David Cook.

I just went and checked the Dial Idol results, and I think this is the first time all season so far that David Archuleta HASN'T had the top spot by a mile. This week, it's David Cook! Really lovin' that guy...

I think David A. is starting to show the pressure he's under. He is only 17, and this show is a lot of hard work--plus he has to go to school everyday! I think Paula did comment after his song that Simon was the only one who had heard of it. I thought he was the clear winner at the beginning of the season, but he's beginning to slip a little. Didn't like David C. at all at the beginning of the season (that combover is distracting! What's he trying to hide under there?), but I've become a fan. Every week he blows me away. He's a great performer and very creative. He doesn't do a karaoke version, but really makes it fresh. He's pretty awesome. DH likes Brooke, but she's just too sweet for me. And every song sounds the same. I predict (hope) either Kristy or Ramiele goes home tonight. They are both out of their league. Unfortunately, I think Chikeze will be in the bottom three with them, even though he's cute as a bug and has a great voice. Just for the record, Michael Johns sang "We Are the Champions," not "We Will Rock You." He was good, but not, of course, as good as Freddy Mercury, who was absolute magic.

Oh, yeah, and what was up with Paula's outfit??? I found it very distracting. It was like that Tide commercial with the talking stain. I almost couldn't hear a word she was saying (no loss), cause her dress was screaming at me the whole time. Yikes!

Before I read all the posts since last night... David Cook and Michael Johns totally blew my sox off (to quote Kristy Lee)!! I almost didn't even recognize Billie Jean... I loved David's rocker version. And Michael Johns!! He OWNED the stage! I also liked Carly, as usual. But she blew the ending of that song, and that's the last thing people hear and remember. All the rest of the girls? Yawn... and the rest of the guys? Yawn... (And I am so NOT on the David Archulette love train. I think he has a nice voice but he's a child and doesn't have the star power to be an "idol.")

I suspect Chikezie will go tonight, although I wish it would be Ramiele or Kristy Lee or David Archuletta. I think Chikezie just isn't getting the right songs (if anyone is helping him, they are actually helping him out the door). I don't really like Ramiele. I think she has a nice voice, but she disappears on stage (no presence). I'd love to see Kristy Lee go home, but I'd be surprised if she goes after that patriotic song. Then again, I kinda thought watching last night's show that she may go this week, during the one week when she actually sang halfway decently. But still... David Cook and Michael Johns. WOW! At this point, I think if I had to pick two girls and two guys to be in F4, it'd be David, Michael, Carly, and... Ugh. Maybe I better stick to F3. I'm not wild about Brooke or Syesha, so can't think of which of those two I'd like in F4.

David A's song was by John Farnham. It was HUGE in the UK, and apparently in Australia, which was why I was surprised it wasn't at least a medium hit here. That's why Simon would have recognised it.

I think the top two girls will be Carly and Brooke, along with David Cook and David Archuleta as the last two men (well, man and a boy!) standing. However, Jason Castro could figure in there somewhere. People seem to really love him. It is entirely possible that the Final Four will be three guys and one girl....who knows! Or maybe even all men, as Michael Johns is pretty fabulous, too! It should be interesting...

Australia and UK get way better music than America. Makes me mad when i can't get some of their songs.

I don't think the girls stand much chance to be honest. Carly has already been in the bottom three a couple of times, Kristy Lee obviously is near the bottom, Ramiele and Syesha aren't strong. Wasn't Brooke even bottom three one time? I predict a David-David top two. If Jason picks up his game he could be number three, but I think he will go out earlier than (I think) he deserves.

Note that I said "if I had to pick two girls and two guys." Not that "I think it will be two girls and two guys." I don't think any of the girls except for maybe Carly have a snowball's chance to be in the F4. (And I suspect Carly may have been in the bottom 3 last week because her fans thought she was safe and just didn't vote.)

And here I thought it was just me! He sounds like he has asthma or allergies to me.

Not that I'm a neat-nick or anything... but did anybody notice the background during that video of David A dancing with his sister? What a mess!

I liked David A when he sang Imagine, but when he boffed the other beatles song....I lost all love and I am not even a big beatles fan, I am more of one of those people that just know some of their songs. I still like Brooke, but I am not so much on the Carly fanwagon as I am the David Cook wagon.

Baby, actually, Johns did a medley of both. He sang a short part of We Will Rock You and then went into We Are The Champions.

You are not alone Jasper. I'm so NOT on the David A. love train, and I'm not on the Carly bandwagon either. My three faves at this point: Michael Johns, David Cook and Brooke.

In the early stuff, I was so about David A. After the last 2 wks I'm thinking he may be not ready. David Cook has me for the whole take. (so far) I like Carly but she is not going to win this thing because of the lack of charisma (?spell) John is good, but he has pitchy problems sometimes. I know alot of you like Brooke & my own grown DDs both like her the best of the females. I just don't claim her as a fav. & prob. will not ever. She does have a great deal of personality that is becoming.
