Comments on: Idol Headlines for 5/15/08 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-51508.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: spanishfan http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-51508.htm/comment-page-7/#comment-122490 spanishfan Sat, 17 May 2008 14:16:33 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-51508.htm#comment-122490 I think that David Cook is the best voice out of the top 24. In fact I would say the best voice ever in American Idol. The early voting off of Michael was not Robbed as many stated. Week after week he failed to capitalize on his early popularity and the only outstanding performances were Queen and Dolly Partin. I do not think he was Idol material at all. David Cook has imagination and can make any ordinary little song current and sell well. He records very well as shown by the way all his studio versions are ahead of all the others and 2nd on the general chart at the moment. In fact ABMY is still in the top 20 6 weeks after being recorded. He is being played on many stations overseas. There is a real buzz about him on most international sites. You do not realize how much so. I like DA but would never buy him. I dont like his recorded voice. Sayesha never appealed to me as she is no different from all the other divas. What you need in a female voice is an Amy Winehouse with no frills and no runs and character voice. That is what is lacking but as far as getting the right voice - definitely David Cook.

Can't wait to see you and the others on MTV.com. Michael and Jim are/were Jason fans. They had a bad week or so but I think they are back now. LOL.

Is that the Frankie Avalon part in the movie, the guy in the white suit in the beauty shop? very campy as I recall, and it is a small part with a song and dancing hairdressers Maybe he is recording a cd in NY and it fit his schedule? It sounds like Taylor is interested in doing more broadway from the article, getting bigger parts. Taylor in Grease?
