tmz.com some spoilers...

David Cook and Michael Johns were talking while the girls were on the stage, discussing who was hot. At one point David said, "I would do her," pointing to someone -- sorry, we don't know who.

The worst performance was courtesy of Brooke White, though she looked the best. She sang a slowed-down, country version of "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar and it sucked. The best performance was Asia'h Epperson, who sang "I Want to Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston.

All the contestants were there and they have some kind of code, constantly referring to "shenanigans," which normally is a buzzword for hijinks, but they were clearly referring to something specific.

Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay are definitely best friends. He was on the side making a half-a-heart sign with his hands and she would complete the heart. The two talked about going to the mall for food after rehearsal.

David Cook was making fun of David Archuleta, like a big bro ragging on li' bro. Cook was beaucoup arrogant during the rehearsal.

Seacrest sang "You Give Love a Bad Name" and was just as bad as yesterday, but lil' blondie freely admitted he was bad.

We're told they had 20 million votes for the guys last night -- a high for the season.

Sorry, BiginJapan. I think Danny is going home. Or should I say, should be going home. Probably Luke going too.

LOL Darrel. We've been saying for weeks at work that Danny is this season's Sanjaya. Hopefully he goes home tonight so a really good singer doesn't go home.

I know I'm behind and there was probably some discussion of this that I missed, but. . .

Why is it that a former male stripper is allowed to stay on the show, while Frenchie got booted off several seasons ago for simply having a provocative picture posted on the Internet?

I like David Hernandez and think he's quite talented, but this seems like a clear double-standard on the part of producers and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more negative press than I've seen.

If the tables were turned and a guy had been booted before for a provocative picture, while a former female stripper was allowed to remain now, I'm wondering if there would be more of an outcry.

I think it would be easier to demonstrate a clear double standard if they had both done the same thing and one was allowed to stay while the other was asked to leave.

They may have felt that the visual images of Frenchie that were published were bad for the show, whereas there don't appear to be any for David H.

The passage of time, although frustrating for Frenchie, does have relevance too, I think. 2003 to 2008 has seen a lot of changes in what's deemed acceptable on network tv. Plus Frenchie's pictures were published on a child-porn site, even though she says she has no idea that's where they would be posted when she had them taken.

Nigel L. said tonight on one of the Entertainment programs that maybe David H. will try out for 'So you think you can dance' if he doesn't make it on AI. I'm not sure if he was joking or not.

Thanks Naja, you have the BEST links! Anyhow, Rosie herself said that Danny probably has it in his contract to stay til the end of the season, but I don't see why he can't go on her cruise NEXT year. (shrug)

David Achuleta’s dad reportedly yelled at him, made him cry


from reality blurred...


"Why did David Archuleta forget the words to his song and seem freaked out on Tuesday’s live performance show? Perhaps because of his dad.
Entertainment Tonight reports that David “may be feeling the pressure from his ‘stage father’ JEFF ARCHULETA, who reportedly yelled at David during a recording session Monday. Sources say Dad wasn’t happy with his son’s singing — and even brought him to tears. Neither Jeff nor reps for ‘American Idol’ would comment on the alleged incident.”
In addition, the blog L.A. Rag Mag reports that when David was on Star Search, “his father was BANNED from the set.” An anonymous “reliable source” told the site:
“David’s father Jeff Archuleta, was really creepy and overbearing. He pushed all his kids to the side and would only focus on David and his career. When it was down to the final contestants for Star Search was when he really started losing it. Jeff couldn’t bear to see David lose, so he started HARASSING the other contestants. … It became so intense that the producers of Star Search had a meeting and BANNED him from the lot. The only performance that he was allowed to attend was the finale.”

Wasn't David the one who suffered from vocal chord paralysis at one time? Perhaps it was stress-related. This is a sad story if it is true.

I really really don't mean to sound like a turd, but those of you who start the performance night's threads, would you mind mentioning in the title something like "Top 9 sing" along with the date of the show? It makes it so much easier to go back to look up something.

One of my co-workers said there was a piece on the Today Show about David A. and his father. She didn't catch the whole story. Did anyone see this?

I didn't see the news about David A. and his dad, but I did just see that Elliot Yamin's mom died. How sad! She was really sick when he was on the show, wasn't she? I can't recall the specifics, but I seem to remember she was, or had been ill. Prayers out to the Yamin family...

David Cook was rushed to the hospital after last night’s show. According to MTV, he was experiencing heart palpitations, and high blood pressure.

TMZ reported that Cook had not been feeling well all day and his condition got worse after his performance. Show medics examined him on set and decided that his blood pressure was “far too high,” according to the site. He was encouraged to go to the hospital during the show, but chose to stick around until the Dolly Parton-themed hour was over.

David reportedly suffers from high blood pressure, was driven to the hospital by car, treated and released a few hours later. An unnamed source told TMZ that David has been under extra stress lately because his brother, who is battling cancer, had a setback.

More from those swell sarcasm folks at TMZ:

TMZ also reported that this isn’t the first time Cook has had trouble on the set, referring to a show earlier in the season when, just before his performance, he collapsed and said he could not go on, but then got it together in time to sing on stage.

~This was reported at mjsbigblog.com this morning, found at tmz.com.

I hope that they find the right medication for him. They should be able to control it.

Annie, he had some illness that affected one of his vocal cords. He didn't have a complete recovery and that's why his voice has the tone it does.

After I posted, I saw it had already been posted in the show thread. I tend to forget that young, healthy-looking people can have the same health concerns as the older generations. I hope David and his doctors can keep good control of the problem.
