We're really starting to like David C. From almost the beginning we were David A. fans with Carly as kind of a second. I'd say we've moved to David C. as our favorite with David A. and Carly more or less tied for second. David A. has a beautiful voice but nowhere near the power to sign Broadway show songs so last night hurt him as it did Jason and Brooke. We don't think Jason or Brooke will last much longer though fans have voted strange ways in the past.

I truly think it's going to come down to an all boy final 3 this year.

Which is why I think Brooke should go home. She really doesn't have "it" (and the one-note thing with Carly Simon/Carole King gets old). The fact that she totally lost the lyric at this stage speaks volumes to me (as in lack of professionalism). And the dress she wore? Really, Carole King not Andrew Lloyd Weber and Evita! Syesha has never impressed me. Yes, she's got a nice voice. But so do millions of people. I always thought her personality was forced (isn't she the one who does the baby crying imitation?). She's bored me from the beginning and last night was the first time I actually watched her entire performance. Jason also has a nice voice and he's cute, but... he's got the type of voice that will need a great sound engineer should he ever do concerts. He doesn't have the power that really good singers (and stars) have. And while I thought it was an odd choice for a song, it was a good choice for him (as he couldn't handle one of the real showstopper powerhouse songs of Sir Andrew). David A... Lex, I'm on the "I just don't get it" couch, so move yer butt over! I don't even get why 9 year old girls are all ga-ga over him (I'd be more inclined to believe it over Jason than David A). Along with Brooke, he bores me to tears (maybe it's cause of that closing the eyes thing when he sings, but even if I listen to him without watching him, I've not been all that impressed). I love Carly and I love that she did Jesus Christ Superstar, although I wish she hadn't done the screaming thing in the middle. That said, however, it was a perfect song for her and she totally dressed the part! But David Cook!! OMG, he so totally was the star of this show!

I agree that Jason and Brooke should be bottom 2. Jason was just too breathy singing "Memory". I would have liked to have heard him sing something from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Maybe "Any Dream will Do." Brooke's song choice was just plain bad. It was slow and not a whole heck of a lot of singing. I think she could have done better with "Tell Me on a Sunday" or even "I Don't Know How to Love Him." I loved how David A totally turned the song into some more contemporary just like the judges said they would have to do. It was a risk and one that I think worked. David C was awesome. It showed his softer side and his voice is just so sexy. Carly was good but I do feel like she does shout during parts of songs. Syesha impressed me this week. This was definitely her style of music and showed her personality.

I agree, same bottom 3 as Gilda. I think that David A and Jason have the same fans, so they will split the vote this week.

Costa, David A rings the bell of several groups. He identifies strongly as Christian. He sings songs with God and Jesus in them. He has that group. He is playing the Tiger Beat route. He's 17, but acting 12/13. Cute, but harmless. Most 17 year old males are trying to project as 20-something. He's projecting preteen. (they showed him in a pic close-up cuddling a puppy.) That gives him the preteen, early teen, elderly vote.

David A. would certainly make it in the Disney concert world. Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers are big business.

I didn't get to watch the show, but thank you, whomever it was that uttered the word, "YouTube." Caught up on the performances and the judges remarks. Yeah! My favorites, in order, were: 1. David C. (Blew me away) 2. Brooke (I know Wink is going to follow me around with a hatchet. I just LIKE the girl's voice. That's it. And, despite the falter, I liked the way she sang that song!) Nonetheless, I think she will be in the bottom 3. I liked: 3. Carly. But although I really liked her voice in it. (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the song. I have the album--no, not the CD, but the album! Heh.) BUT . . . personally, I thought she got just a little lost in it. Her voice didn't power through as I thought it should have (in parts). In other parts, she was tremendous! I think she will be in bottom 3, but I'd never put her there myself. 4. David A. I thought it was as Simon said. Very good, but not memorable. I liked listening to him, I really did. I would NOT put him in bottom 3. And I am hoping he will not be placed there by the vote. And I didn't like: 5. Syesha. Now, I've supported Syesha all along, but I didn't like her sound (I think I was the only one) last week. (But did, tonight, upon hearing it again on YouTube. Odd.) And I didn't like her voice last night--although I LOVED her sass and performance. I just didn't like her voice--didn't appeal to my ear at all, although I would have loved it in a musical, I'm sure, if that makes sense. 6. Jason--but only because he just doesn't have the lungs to sing that song. My guess is that is why he sings so softly to begin with . . . can't handle bigger songs. But he was able to hit most notes beautifully, to my utter surprise. (I haven't been a fan all along.) I think he deserves to go, based on last night's performance. And I think he will.

I've read two terms to describe David A fans. Which do you prefer, "Archies" or Arch Angels"?

I think David A will win the whole thing. Carly has a good voice and knows how to control it but I just can't get past her tattoo and her husband's face. It just grosses me out. A few tattoos are okay but to mutilate your face is beyond good sense. Kinda makes you wonder what is lurking under his clothes..... Syesha has a nice voice but why does she have to scream. If she would just sing, she would sound much better although last night's theme was perfect for her. Love David Cook. I thought he handled his song really well. Poor Brooke, she needs to be gone. I swear it almost felt like she messed up on purpose. Have you seen how many times her face has been on CNN today? I guess publicity for any reason isn't all bad! I didn't think Jason did so bad. I liked his song.

I dont get all the praise for Carly, I find her boring and nothing unusual. I never got it. I am not sure that David A will win it. They are still smarting from Taylor Hicks dismal sales. They will want someone who can sell and David A cannot sell. He needs a few years to mature.

If David A wins this, I'll be done with AI. He's not an "American Idol" and he's not "idol" material at all. And if he's really 17 but acting 12/13, then WTH? David A is this years Sanjayai... he just won't go home!
