Nobody had anything to say about Katy Perry? I normally love her but that song is just awful. There's no melody. Nothing that catches in your head. Is it really number 1? I've only heard it on the radio one time, and then was when it first came out. It's not "I Kissed a Girl" or "Firework," which is EVERYWHERE. That girl is making some serious royalties on Firework. I think if a contestant sang that ET song on AI, the judges would say it's not a singer's song. No hook in there anywhere.

I really liked Katy Perry's song tonight. Also, I just have to say it, Lauren is not huge at all. She is average size,imo. So glad that Haley is still in!

Apparently, the audience last night was perturbed that Katy and Kanye didn't perform "live" as was promised to them: http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2011/04/22/6512641-idol-audience-upset-about-katy-perry-kanye-west-performance I always wonder about that, since sometimes it's probably not possible to set up and break down a big production number like that on a live show. I would have been annoyed, though, if I were in the audience and had been promised a "live" performance.

When I've had opportunities to go to taping (always way too last minute for me since I set up my driving schedule the week before) they'd want people to come in the morning for the taping of certain acts and those who came for that were then also guaranteed that they could go to the "live" show later that evening.. I guess the payment for providing audience in the morning and hanging around for hours in between.

I did like David Cook's performance though. During his year, I always wanted to see him perform. With the current group, I could care less if I see them or not.

That article seems a little "off" to me, regarding the audience expecting a live performance. I went to an Idol results taping last month - when Karen went home and Black Eyed Peas performed. The audience company keeps you informed of exactly what you are going to see when you get inside & seated. In our case, BEP pre-taped 30 minutes before showtime so their white baby grand could be carried offstage. It was a big number that needed that extra pre-taping time. They shouted this info to everyone before we were escorted in for the taping. Katy's number was even more elaborate. Oh, and the stage manager tells the audience what's coming up during the commercial breaks. Before Ryan introduced the BEP during the live show, the stage manager told us we didn't have to bother to applaud. lol

I thought that David Cook sounded off-key his whole performance...and I like him a lot but he bored me about halfway through. I thought Katy Perry's costume was amazing.

I am a fan of David Cook, but that performance did not make me want to go buy that music. Yes, Katy's costume was pretty amazing.

I want Katy's costume for Halloween this year. I really wanted to love David Cook, but he did bore me, too. I couldn't remember if I loved him or not -- only remembered that I did NOT like that Archuletta kid -- so couldn't tell if it was me or what. Glad to hear it wasn't just me!

Costacat, He looked like he wanted to me anywhere but on that stage. He didn't act or sing the way I remembered him. Hopefully it was just an off night.

Yes he can sing. However, he looked the same as always to me. Cook never looked like he wanted to be on the show. It's kind of like he stumbled in off the street and eventually won AI. No drive or enthusiasm.

Jimmer, you are probably right. Maybe I don't remember correctly because I didn't like the other David.

I thought Cook did stumble in from the street for the audition. Didn't he go to the audition to support one of his brothers that was trying out?

I think he was definitely the best of his season and in that sense he was a deserving winner. It's funny though. You see people who literally live and breath music (it's their whole life and dream) with a huge drive to succeed and then you see some others who are good but just don't seem as into it. I'd put David in the second category. Another in that second category is Katharine McPhee. Beautiful and talented but just not that interested.

But on the other hand, I think Taylor Hicks was somebody who lived and breathed music...to me he just was pure joy to watch perform...but apparently he wants to do it on his own terms, and that's okay. Yes, David Cook came in with his brother, who was auditioning, and then decided to audition himself. I think he was the best on his season and I still think he is really talented...but not sure if "pop" is his true love. But he still looks good...LOL!

I also think he was the best of his season and still think he is great. I just wasn't impressed with that performance.

I agree 100% with everything Jimmer, Roxip and Lazylu said in their above posts.

David Cook is on Ellen right now. And yeah, he's really not all that good. He's kinda boring isn't he? Not all that thrilled with his performance at all! I guess he's on a big promo tour for his CD.

That's so odd. I remember him being enjoyable during his season, but maybe he just seemed to have charisma and energy when compared to david archeletta.

Perhaps he was better taking other people's songs and making them his own than he is during original stuff...what we as the public like isn't always what an artist's vision is...and if the artist decides that he is going to follow his own vision instead of what made him popular in the first place...well...it doesn't always translate into high sales. That's why it is always good to have somebody pushing your career who will guide you down the right path...and listen to them...unless of course you simply do not care about high record sales.
