It was a new one right? No wonder you don't like it, probably never heard of it before.

Okay, maybe, but this question for Simon from some girl he kissed when he was 9 is hilarious :)

Brooke White's "I'm a believer" was just horrible.

The final two - at this point - should be David C. & Syesha.

Still chaps me severely that Micahel Johns & Carly were kicked out and yet we still have Jason "Ain't my dreads cute even if I can't sing worth a crap?" Castro and David "Allergy season has arrived" Archuleta.

Didn't care for the beginning of Cook's 2nd song, but not bad once he kicked it into gear.

Totally agree on the themes. Their guest singers this year have given me little reason to tune in. I watched a few episodes and quickly decided their format is like a broken record. Instead, I just pick and choose which recaps to watch after reading Jason's post each week.

I agree with Jason. They should totally get rid of these stupid theme weeks and start focusing their talents on what genre of music they're going to end up singing after the shows over. This entire season has sucked.

Paula should be on Lost, not on American Idol.... know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, I wish they'd get some relevant artists on the show. The keeping trotting out these old fossils who haven't had a hit - or even a popular record - in decades! And I even like Neil Diamond, but let's face it, his songs aren't good because he's a stellar vocalist - he's a solid performer who has crafted quite a few great songs.

Jason Castro is just simply horrible. He has neither the vocal nor presentation skills to have been in the top 10 at all.

David Archuleta is still coming off weak and predictable. He never strays from the same vocal or performance style. And his weak-ass attempt to play on some national patriotism kinda ticks me off. Yeah, like Simon said, it was a "smart" song choice, but I suspect what he really meant was that David had made a "tactical" choice, not a suitable one. "Coming to America" is just far too big a song for this little boy. And good Lord, somebody get him some Claritan - he always looks like he's in the midst of a major allergy flareup!

David Cook did nicely! By all rights, he should have this thing sewn up, but I doubt it plays out that way.

Paula was just on Ryan's radio show and said that she heard Jason's second song in rehearsal before the show, and that's why she got confused when they changed up the format mid-show.

It is a really tough job! Maybe we all need to give them some slack; it's second to really only brain surgery or astrophysics.

Yeah, I was thinking of writing about that story Cap'n...there is a lot of talk about changing it next year, like maybe start off in Hollywood week and do flashbacks to the auditions, limit the banter between the judges and Ryan, etc.

I even heard rumors, that an article/poll that was done, saying that Ryan Seacrest might be taking the blame for loss of viewers... I would say Paula should go before he does...

I would love to see Syesha and David Cook in the finale but I don't think it's going to happen. I definitely do blame a lot of the problems on the themes they choose. Just doesn't make any sense.
