Yes David Cook was on another playing field last night. He sounded so good.

Maybe Jason will go home tonight. his heart wasn't in it.

And what was up with Paula!!

They were giving away Neil Diamond tickets yesterday on a local radio station. I couldn't get through would love to see him in concert. In fact I'm going to find my Jazz Singer album.

I DO like Jason, but is it just me, or does he seem to think the whole thing is lame? I love his voice, but I just don't think he cares anymore and its starting to show. Last week and this week were total snoozers for me with him. Archuletta was totally boring for me, too. Brooke, I had to agree with Simon, was a total karaoke performance with the guitar, but really good with the piano. David Cook was friggen awesome! I know I haven't been a total fan of his earlier on, but now I'm a total fan. He's great at making the songs his own. Syesha is very good, as well, but not very unique.

I think Syesha and Jason will be in the bottom two this week. Unfortunately, I think the little girl votes will keep Jason in and Syesha will probably be going home. Time will tell...

I though David Cook was great last night. I think that he and Syesha are my faves now. I do feel sometimes that the judges are giving more Kudos to David Archuleta even when IMO he wasn't the best.

Brooke, I hated the song with the guitar, but thought she was great on the one with piano.

Syesha did great last night.

I did feel a little sorry for Jason cause after he did his first song it was like he was already doomed!

Paula, ummm, she royally messed up and it's quite the talk on TV today.

Cook was amazing!

The judges were trying to help Paula. She was so confused?! Telling the guy his first song was not as good as the second HAHA and they were on song one

It's pretty much David Cook Idol for me. After a few seconds of each one, I fast fowarded through every song except for David Cook (wasn't hugely wild about the first song, but loved the second song) and Brooke's second song (thought she was really good behind the piano). My absolute least favorite is David A - I don't understand why the judges keep praising him to the skies - his voice just sounds so breathy and nasal to me. I'm also very irritated by his endless "message" song picks - American being the latest in a long string. I'm sure the little girlies will keep around to the end and I doubt David Cook needs the #1 slot to be a huge star - I've already bought everyone of his AI studio performances off of iTunes (haven't bought any of the other contestants songs).

I too am becoming a big David Cook fan. Still love Brooke, wasn't crazy about the first song though, but loved the second. I really like Jason too, but I agree with techwife and don't think he really wants to be there. I have always liked Syesha and think she is actually the one that keeps improving each week though I don't know if she has the fan base to keep her. I actually think she may be the one to go tonight. David A does have a great voice but I just like him, don't love him as much as everyone else seems too.

Techwife--I heard a blurb on the news on my way out and I think I heard Carly Simon was putting out something new.

EZ--saw a commercial for a Neil Diamond concert coming to DC--hubby said that it might be fun to go to...

David A. - Wasn't crazy about his first song. Second song gave me goosebumps at the end.

Jason - Gotta go!

Syesha - She was good last night, not amazing.

Brooke - Should have gone last week, instead of Carly. First song didn't like, much better with the piano.

David Cook - AWESOME! He's gonna win the whole thing.

Results show in 25 minutes!!

American Idol Elimination Night 4/30/08
 

I can't believe Jason was not in the bottom 2!!!

What's up with that?

I liked Brooke! But she did have a really bad first song. I really liked her second song though. Jason Castro should have definatley been in the bottom 2!! He was horrible last night. Syesha was good. She shouldn't have been in the bottom 2. David cook was off the hook last night!!! I'm such a cook fan! I'm sad to see Brooke go. I think it should have been Jason!

It MIGHT be fun to go to?...MIGHT!?

OMGoodness....:faint:

Jules~ I have my Neil Diamond tickets for Oct. here in San Diego, was able to pre-order so they should be decent seats!

I assume Brooke left tonight...not on her yet. Bummer...I liked her best at first... 2nd best now...go David!

Which David are you rooting for, EZ? There's such a HUGE difference between the two Davids!

I just can't understand why people like David Archuleta. In the first week or so, I thought "aww, he's cute," but since then I've been DYING for him to go home (of course, he's not going to). I don't like the way he sings at all -- it's breathy and annoying and the judges ignore it when he messes up. On "Sweet Caroline," which had the worst possible cheesy arrangement by the way (and it's pretty hard to make a Neil Diamond song even cheesier than it already is), he was off the tempo and even offkey at times! How are people not hearing this?? Eeek!

David Cook is so much more talented than the other contestants that it's almost humorous! But as we all know, it's not completely about talent. Syesha has a good voice but she's like so many other singers.

I agree, Syesha and the Archulator are VERY good singers, but both are total snoozefests for me. My mom loves them, especially the Archulator.

I'll miss Brooke. I liked her, mostly because she showed more well-rounded musical talent with both the geetar and the piano, but mostly because she's like me, a hairdresser that cries VERY easily. I would love to sit and watch Little House on the Prairie with her. ;)

I don't know what it is about Jason, but I really like his voice...not really 'talented' per se, but there's just something about him I like. This week is supposed to be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week...I hope he does really well with that.

And then there's the Cookster. I LOVE him. I really didn't at first because I really don't care for his hair (although then there's Jason with the dreads...not a huge fan of that, either...but it does look cool as long as I don't have to get up close to them...they look stinky to me). He has the clear talent of the bunch and could be voted off next week and still be a huge star.

I hate this stage of the game because I really like everyone left and don't want to see any of them go, really.

I think the Jason doubters will be pleasantly surprised next week. ;)

EZ--you gotta understand my hubby---he is a true homebody and rarely wants to go anywhere unless it's a car or motorcycle show....his even saying MIGHT made me almost pass out from shock!!

Brooke was my fave from the first audition. I knew she wasn't going to win but I still hated to see her go. I love acoustic music (probably why I like Jason too) and the old singer/songwriter style. When her cd comes out (and it will) I will buy it. I really did think Syesha would go before her.

I still say it is going to be a all boys top 3 this year.
