interesting, they arent having the judges comment until after their SECOND performances...


anyway

Jason #1 - meh. didnt care for it. sounding like he was straining his voice.

Jason, forever mediocre...talk about no enthusiasm

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 08:15 PM
David C #1 - it was alright. not his best.

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 08:16 PM
Brooke #1 - that was pretty bad. -_- she should've let David (A) sing the song.

Impressions
04-29-2008, 08:18 PM
David C...I liked it
Brooke....Enjoyed it but, the band overpowered her...I think her performance would sound less cheesy if she sang without it

Jason - It was okay.
David C - Loved it. Really good
Brooke - AWKWARDDDDDDDD
David A - I was excited for him to do this, but it kinda looked like he was having trouble with it. Uptempo doesn't really work for him =\ unfortunately. It was only okay

omg I loved Davey. It felt so good to see him doing something that wasn't super slow. <33

Syesha - Beautifully done. She is growing on me

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 08:27 PM
David A #1 - REALLY liked this. he finally went upbeat, and showed a "youthful" side. WOO.

Syesha #1 - really liked that too. possibly my favorite performance from her yet. great job Syesha!

the show is really weird tonight. the performances are all extremely short and everything is very rushed. -_- and the fact that the judges dont comment after the performance is odd.

PAULA IS A DUMBASS WOW.

LAY OFF THE ALC, WOMAN.

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 08:29 PM
so basically....

Randy liked the Davids, didnt care for anyone else.
Paula is drunk.
Simon didnt like any of them.

this format is even more weird then Season 3's format for top 5 night.

Impressions
04-29-2008, 08:32 PM
David A...good for a karaoke
Syesha...nice vocals and connection w/ the audience

Paula Abdul..."Jason...your second song left me kinda, a little empty" (lmao yup... in the head)

Cactus Jack
04-29-2008, 08:35 PM
Jason- Just alright
David C-Pretty good!
Brooke- Meh, they shoulda let Archie Letta do this
David Arch- Awesome!
Syesha- Great job!

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 08:36 PM
Jason #2 - meh. forgettable.

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 08:40 PM
David C #2 - ....didnt like this either. "brilliant" :rofl: the pimping is really getting ridiculous.

Krisalicious
04-29-2008, 08:40 PM
Jason - BAD
David C- It wasn't THAT good. I mean it was good but nothing like WOAHHH AMAZING. He's had better IMO

Cactus Jack
04-29-2008, 08:48 PM
Brooke- Pretty good

Krisalicious
04-29-2008, 08:50 PM
David A - I really liked it... MUCH better than the first song

Krisalicious

Syesha - LOVED IT.

Okay so tonight was weird as hell so I guess I'm gonna rank by rounds.

ROUND 1:
1. Syesha
2. David C
3. David A
4. Brooke
5. Jason

ROUND 2
1. Syesha
2. David A
3. Brooke
4. David C
5. Jason

BASICALLY I thought Syesha was overall the best. If Simon is right, I will be angry. Bottom 2 tomorrow should be Brooke and Jason. I don't really care which one of them goes home.

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 09:01 PM
Syesha - another good performance from her. STFU Simon. go make out with David Cook.

JT
04-29-2008, 09:04 PM
Round 1:
1. Syesha
2. David C
3. David A
4. Brooke
5. Jason

Round 2:
1. Syesha
2. Brooke
3. David C
4. David A
5. Jason

Sorry, but I thought David A's second performance sucked. Not bad, but it wasn't good. That squeak was just too much.

EmoJoe
04-29-2008, 09:05 PM
ill do rankings for individual rounds and then rankings for the entire night

Round 1
1. Syesha
2. David A
3. David C
4. Jason
5. Brooke

Round 2
1. David A
2. Brooke
3. Syesha
4. David C
5. Jason

Overall
1. David A (2)
2. Syesha (1)
3. Brooke (2)
4. David A (1)
5. Syesha (2)
6. David C (1)
7. David C (2)
8. Jason (2)
9. Jason (1)
10. Brooke (1)

bottom 2 should be Brooke and Jason. actually based on performances it should be David C and Jason if you ask me, but...yeah. Jason should and will go home.

tonight sucked. i hate to say it but im really getting bored with this season.

Cactus Jack
04-29-2008, 09:12 PM
Yeah, Jason and Brooke SHOULD BE THE BOTTOM 2

The first round
Jason- It was alright nothing to brag about
David C- I liked it but he has done better
Brooke- I liked it I thought she didn't do to bad it wasn't great but it was better then the past weeks
David A- it was good not his best performance
Syesha- I really liked it I think she has a great voice
Overall- the first round wasn't bad but nothing really wowed me but Syesha was good

Second Round
Jason- I didn't really care for it I don't know I am just getting tired of him and I feel it's time for him to go
David C- It was pretty good still not his best performance but it wasn't half bad
Brooke- This one was great I was hoping she would sing a song like this. I just love it when she does songs like that where she sits at the piano and shows off her range. That was one of her best performances in weeks she really needed that
David A- Not bad I really liked it but he has done better
Syesha- I really liked this song. I have to say it again she can sing really well

Second Round I would say Brooke and Syesha were my favorites but overall it wasn't the best night. They have all sung better but it wasn't bad. I just hope Jason goes home, I'm so sick and tired of him and he just doesn't show any pizzaz in his singing. He just isn't doing it for me

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤

I wasnt a fan of David Cooks first song, but loved the 2nd. Im hoping he wins. A top 2 David finale would be a dream come true. I loved Archuleta tonight. Jasons first was good. Paula is a mess.

Yeah it did, and tonight had to be the weirdest show I've ever seen just in terms of format. :crazy:

Liked: David C and Syesha
Hated: Brooke and Jason
Decent: David A

As long as it's not David Archuleta, I don't care who goes this week.

What the hell is wrong with Paula again tonight? Can't she lay off on the alcohol until AFTER the show? That was funny thought . . . a great thing about live TV.

I also wanted to point out Jason Castro's idiotic reply to Simon after his second song. I believe his excuse was that he had "something stuck in his throat." What kind of dumbass excuse is that? I believe the actual excuse is that HE CAN'T SING! And then after that, I heard him say "whatever". YOu can obviously tell he could care less if he was there or not.

Well, IMO, Syesha was AMAZING tonight! She was right on par with the 2 Davids, if not even just a tad better last night. She'll probably be in the bottom 3 (are they still doing that tonight?), just because there has to be someone else besides Brooke and Jason.

I really loved both David's last songs. I thought both were amazing as well. Brooke's last song I liked a lot, but her first song sucked. Jason sucked all around.

EmoJoe
04-30-2008, 06:28 PM
they do a bottom 2 from here on out (like last week). top 3 week they just pull out the eliminated person though.

I loved both of David Cook's songs.

I thought Syesha was brilliant. She has really come a long way in this competition. I think she deserves a spot in the finale, along with David Cook.

I didn't like Brooke's first song, but I liked her second.

David Archuleta made me think I was watching a high school talent show.

Jason sounded almost as stoned as Paula. (No wait, that's too insulting for Jason. :p )

Tuesday's episode has got to be one of the worst episodes of AI I've ever seen in the past 7 seasons. Not in terms of performance, but just... everything else.

David Archuleta made me think I was watching a high school talent show.

I kind of get the same feeling with David Archuletta. That's why I"m not exactly rooting for him to be in the finale. I think Syesha deserves his spot more.

EmoJoe

if Syesha (or Jason) makes the final 2 over either of the Davids the Idol stage will probably just explode right there. seriously they might as well just not come back, their credibility would be shot.

Yeah I know LOL


I think Jason could work as a Jack Johnson/ Jimmy Buffett/Bob Marley type though.If he sticks to that he'll have....a little credibility

JulieSomoski

The problem I have with Jason is that he's too carefree for this show. His voice really isn't that good, too - there is just no way I can picture him going on tour or putting out a CD.

EmoJoe
05-04-2008, 03:41 PM
Jason would do very well as an indie artist, and i'm sure that's the direction he'll take. the whole "soft guy behind the guitar" thing is very "in" right now.

i dont really have a problem with Jason, i just think his time is up. he deserved to make the top 12 and even the top 10, but he didn't deserve to get this far. i think he should've gotten around 7th place. it's obvious at this point that his looks are getting him through, and if he makes the final 3 it will be completely unfair because vocally, he can't touch Syesha and the Davids.

JT
05-04-2008, 08:41 PM
I'd actually rather Syesha over either one of the Davids. I'd probably take a David C/Syesha finale, if I had my choice. Syesha's shown quality in different styles and genres, and David C showed he can do ballads with Andrew Lloyd Webber week. I'm really just tired of Archuleta's cheesy, predictable performances. Yes, I said it.

no it wouldn't be. cause we all know David Cook is a lock for the finale, and the other person needs to be David Archuleta. but i would rather him be beaten out by Syesha then Jason cause at least shes good :)

Stormtracker TF
05-05-2008, 04:42 PM

Ok, that's your opinion.

Which just happens to be an opinion that is inferior to mine.

Oh, David v. David FTW. :heart:

If Syesha ever made the finale, Cook should be the David that's in the final two with her. Really doubt it'll happen though.
