I already know David Cook will put out a CD & me along with millions of others will be buying it. He doesn't have to win AI for this to happen. I don't feel that way about any of the others.

Theowl, I think he said Lord Andrew - he is Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber. He is also a Baron and has been knighted.

Best tonight, David C., Syesha, Carly David A. was good, but it was a forgettable performance for me. Worst was Jason C. then Brooke. All the songs he could have chosen and he picked "Memories"? And I had to go listen to Madonna sing the song Brooke messed up.

I'm worrying about Jason, since VFTW has chosen Brooke now that Kristy Lee is gone. Kristy Lee was the first person all season dubbed "safe" to go, but normally they are right on. Right now, only David Cook is "safe". Crap, now Carly is dead last I'm just half way through watching.. Syesha was great tonight! I don't know the song David A is singing. Having heard Memories on stage and having seen Evita three times on the stage.. not good choices for those people.

Wow, very impressed with David C. They all did pretty well considering. My guess for final three would be Carly, Jason and Brooke with Brooke going.

Wow, thanks for all your spoiling. You did such a great job! (I was in a pet first aid class all night tonight, so I appreciate it!) I will definitely turn to YouTube for the first time this year. Gotta hear Syesha and David C, in particular!

I've been watching American Idol Rewind and find it curious how my tastes have changed. I was such a Clay fan and couldn't feel Ruben's appeal. Now I get Ruben totally. I'm still a Clay fan, by the way, but no longer so emotionally invested. I'm wondering how I'll react to this year's crop of finalists come Rewind time for them. Right now I'm totally in David A's corner, and I just don't get David Cook's appeal. I don't think he's shown himselt to be as talented and charismatic as either Daughtry or Bo Bice, so what's the draw? What am I missing that I'll get in five years?

What I like about David Cook is his voice number one, and number two, how he is willing to do different things. he doesnt play it safe and just comes out and sings. I like how he responds to the judges, no answering back, just takes what they say, he seems very professional for a young guy. His voice does remind me of Daughtry. I would definitely buy his CD, so far I have bought Rubens, Daughtry's, and Jordin Sparks CDs.

HP! I was wondering where you were last night. I must be one of the few that doesn't get the David Archie love. I wanted a Cook/Johns final two. (((sigh))) And yes, I'm still ticked off that Michael Johns was voted off.

EW has a very interesting review. Sorry if it widens the page. It has a bunch of commas and I can't get to tinyurl from work. I didn't realize that Little David again forgot his lyrics.

That article was dead on Lady. I have always thought that they were not going to let a Sanjaya moment happen again where they almost had a talentless person going to the final three. What I don't get is how they are so down on Syesha, she seems every week to get better and better and putting aside my personal favoritism towards David Cook, I think she unquestionably was the best performer last night.

Maris, I did, too. I think it stinks that they put her in the forgettable 1 spot. I loved David Cook, but I still say I'd have loved to hear him sing "Damned For All Time" from JCS. He'd have brought the house down.

Neil Diamond is supposed to be the last mentor. I'm assuming it will be next week.

Just watched this and... GO CARLY AND DAVID!! And I actually liked Syesha for the first time (she actually stood out for a change!) The others? While I disagree that Jason was a train wreck, he was totally boring, as was David A. The train wreck, I think, was Brooke. And I can't believe the judges went so easy on her. Maybe Simon was doing that reverse thing, since when he goes hard on someone they end up staying? But... David Cook. Having heard the original, I have to say that David this song proud. And this is one of my favorite songs of all of Sir Andrew's songs. This week was a good week for those with powerful voices. Jason and Brooke, and even David A, just don't have the pipes.

Landi, I like your list. I'd switch David A and Sayesha though.

I DVR Idol while I'm at class Tuesday night, then watch it when I get home. This allows me to skip all the fluff. The only performance I didn't end up fast-forwarding through after the first few bars was David Cook's. Took me about ten minutes to watch. After reading the comments here, I went back and rewatched Syesha's performance, but I still didn't care for it. Rewatched David C's and still liked it.

I think both Christy Lee and Syesha got off to a slow start, and did not pick up fans until later. Both were very nervous and showed little personality. The last two or three weeks before Christy left, she totally changed. She showed poise and personality and her voice seemed to get stronger with more control. Same with Syesha. But I think it was too late for Christy and may also be for Syesha. They just did not have a strong enough fan base to carry them. I have a feeling that both girls are going to have successful musical careers even if they do not become big superstars. Syesha in theatricals and Chrisy in country music. Randy will see to it. I also have a feeling that unless he wins, it is going to be iffy for David A. He will have a career, but I am not sure how big it will be. He may go on to college to study music. I could see his career going in several different directions. But he is very young yet. He has the time and thanks to Idol, he will have the opportunity. Jason, I just don't know. He is a beautiful young man and has a decent voice. I could see him being drawn into an acting career, possibly in theatre or film. Carly will become a pop recording artist. Success? Who knows? It is such an iffy profession. David Cook will be a star whether he wins or not. 100% guaranteed. They will all make money.

I can't tell what Jason looks like because all I see is that hair.

I think the point of the judges going a little soft on Brooke was that she was already pretty fragile. What would be the point of tearing her apart and having her disintegrate on stage? I think she's already going to get a lot of sympathy votes. I haven't really been a fan of hers so far (DH loves her), but I really felt sorry for her last night. And I thought she was really good once she got it together. I thought she showed some emotion for once! We were laughing when Ryan brought the girls up onstage for David A. I told DH, "There's his demographic right there." They all looked about 9-12 years old. I have liked Jason in past weeks, but this week the song was just too big for his voice. I agree that he and Brooke should be bottom two tonight. I just hope poor Brooke doesn't lose her you-know-what. Girl already looks more terrified every week. She's really out of her element.
