Let's forget about politics, the economy and war and talk about what's really important.

I don't get the judges sometimes. Last week Randy told Romeile (sp) that she has a
'big voice and needs to use it'. Last night she used it, and he told her, 'that song was too big for you.'

Chickezie did a great version of 'If only for one night', which Randy thought was too much of a throwback and that he didn't do anything new with it. Simon thought it was cheesy the way he sang to a girl in the audience (something that singers do all the time, even Idol ones).

The Aussie guy does 'We are the champions' which sounded just like Queen's version, except without the high notes, and the judges were in love.

Kristie sang a corn-ball version of a corny song, and they thought it was her best ever.

The weird dread kid 'Fragile'. His vocals were good, but his guitar accompaniment was amateurish. I think they got it right in their criticism of him, particularly when Simon implied that he wasn't taking it seriously.

The rocker kid was awesome, and they gave him props for that.

Syesha was about perfect on 'If I was your woman', I think they mostly liked it.

There, I feel better now that I've got that off my chest. How much do I owe you?

I have Billie Jean stuck in my head now.

David Cook rocks. I hope he DOESN'T win, however, so that he won't get stuck with Clive Davis and company (whom I have lost all respect for and I used to love the guy). That was a haunting version of the song and I think he was the only one last night who owned the stage and was totally in the moment.

I hope Brooke wins Idol, I think she'd be a good Idol.

Regarding Randy and Ramiele, I think he meant because she was sick this week. That said, I can't stand her and it's strictly personal. She reminds me of someone I detest, and I don't detest many people so that's big in my mind.

I thought the Aussie did a horrible job and was completely surprised to see the judges loving it. I thought it was a lot of yelling with very little melodic qualities to it.

Carly stunk! She rushed the song and was completely unattached from the it.

I love David Cook... That performance was AWESOME....

I don't know who will go tonight, didn't really see it all had stuff to do even the short clips at the end didn't do it for me...

[cw68]

Oh, Steve, I totally agree with you about Chickezie. I was groovin' to it, but then again, I like old school R&B.

[Chad Vander Veen]

that dread-haired guy sucks. David Cook rocked, so did the aussie fella.

[Dave Burrell]

David Cook was by far the BEST and MOST ORIGINAL last night

I like Jason Castro but he's getting way too laid back and playing it safe...

and David Archuletta is getting too predictable


The way I see it - who's performance would compell me to want to spend money on their albums?

so far, its only David Cook and Jason Castro for me

I think the Aussie guy or Carol may be the next to go

I love it, I can watch an entire episode of AI in 6 minutes:

David Cook - Billie Jean:
Chikezie - If only for 1 night:

Ooooo, apparently David Cook used Chris Cornell's (ex-lead singer of Soundgarden) arrangement for Billie Jean. No wonder I loved it so much. Chris Cornell is amazing.

My wife is in an uproar about that. In the Youtube link above the ugly guy says "With Chris Cornells version"... was that said live, or did that just come out in post-editing?

[camay2327]

After last night I think that David Cook will win it all.....

Why is she in an uproar? I don't see a problem.

I love David Cook. He's been my fave since the beginning. I actually liked Michael Johns for the first time last night.

I hope Kristy goes home. I thought her performance was horrendous!
