and my other favorites, Jason and Jacuzzi. Although I did love Jason’s performance tonight, he needs to kick it up about four notches and come out fighting. But I wonder if he can – he’s such a laid back guy. I thought Chicazee was fantastic tonight and totally disagreed with Simon and Randy. He was soulful, passionate and his voice sounded great. I guess they don’t want him to win.

Ramiele started off great and kind of fell apart.

Syesha had her best performance yet.

Brooke was good. It looked like she really wanted to start blabbing to the judges in her Brooke way, but kept stopping herself.

Little David was good, but could have picked a much better song that was more familiar. I never heard that song. I wonder if his father picked it and if Simon’s remark that he was sure that little David didn’t pick it was targetted to the dad.

Kristy was smart in picking that song as sappy as I think it is. She is going for the country vote. Good thinking, Kristy.

And my “favorite” Carly. To be fair, it was a good start, too much screaming in the middle and the end sucked big time. She is so desperate to get her “big moment” and the praise she thinks she deserves and, once again, she didn’t. I almost, almost, felt sorry for her, but not quite.

I just watched David Cook again. I can’t believe how excellent he was. His voice was absolutely outstanding tonight. He was controlled, didn’t go over the top. Great, great performance. After reading comments on other boards, the only thing I think will stop him from winning is people (not me) don’t seem to like that he uses other people’s arrangments even though they are all credited. They are all questioning the original and brave comments from the judges.

Other thoughts – I’m not liking the background singers this year. And, yes, David Cook had a pretty big head when he was little. Jason gets cuter each week. Little David seemed more relaxed tonight. My new top three is Jason, Michael and David Cook. Brooke has a hot dad.

That said, I stood at my kitchen wall phone and voted for him for about an hour and 15 minutes – or about 600 times.

No, he wasn’t the best tonight, but I still want him in the Top 4.

KLC, if Dolly has a song about Jesus or the apostles, she will sing it and live on to ruin more songs another day.

David C was the best tonight, I felt him big time. I voted for David A cause I am nuts for him, and Syesha because I thought she was really good and need more votes than David A, or C.

Your right about KLC and Simon pointed out what a smart choice of song it was cause she can only stay in with the stale old patriotism act. if people are dumb enough to vote for her cause she was sly enough to sing what is argueably the most patriotic song of all time, then they deserve her.

Still, for me, david cook was the best of the rest tonight. Im annoyed with castro cause I know he can hammer out a song, I know he can “send me”, he did it a little bit with Hallelujia, I want him to do it over again. If he cant replicate it then maybe he’s a one hit wonder on Idol and I expected too much from him. he has a nuance about him which could really be gold if he knew how to use it more.

For the record, for me Simon has been spot on all season long with his critique.

Archuletta is fantasic, the song was an obscure one and the hurt him, but not enough for his fans (me) to be worried. I am one of those oldish tykes voting, lol!

The thing is this young kid is from a religious family and the inspirational songs resonate with him. I don’t think he quite gets that he needs to do something different because so far it has paid off for him. It sucks to be good in a mediocre world when the Kristie and others get by on their mediocrity.

I love castro but he has not allowed himself to really take me “there” except when he did Hallelujia. He has got to just let it go, I know he can and finally, Jesus God please, throw KLC under a bus. Any effing bus will do.

Archuletta was fantastic as always and I loved his song but it may have gone over a lot of heads. No problem, he’s in no danger anyways. He could have sung the oscar Mayer hot dog song and he would still get the majority of votes from the little tykes. God how I hate those kiddies.

Too bad nobody pointed out that it was karaoke/predictable. He didn’t change it at all. I will never understand Randy and Simon.

Apparently, David Foster did a cover of it in 1990, so I guess thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s what qualifies it as one of the choices.

That, or whatever pwessus widdle David wants, pwessus widdle David is gonna get, even if it’s a strettttttch.

Mostly, though, I just wanted an excuse to post the song from “Hot Rod.” :laugh_tb:
