American Idol - The Top Five
Well, here's the short and sweet: Across the board - First song: Barfedy Barf. Second Song: Awesedy Awesome.
But more importantly - WHAT WAS UP WITH PAULA FLUBBING HER LINES? Does that prove the show is pre-written? Or that she is just a complete dipshit?
Oh wait, the MOST important thing we learned tonight: Neil Diamond has been toking from the bovine extract teet.
JASON CASTRO
Has anyone noticed how they are slowly combing out his dreads and making them, well, prettier? If there *is* such a thing in relation to dreads? Either way, he is about 5 weeks past due for leaving. Although, I do admit enjoying his second song at least a teensy bit.
DAVID ARCHULETA
I have given up on this kid becoming cool. He is going to put out an album a la Josh Grobin and 50-something empty-nester moms who wear holiday sweaters with snowmen all over them are gonna buy them in the trillions. Don't blame me, I TRIED.
BROOKE WHITE
OK, folks. I ain't gonna lie. I threw up a little in the back of my throat as she sang I'm A Believer. Seriously, it was an affront to both The Monkees *AND* the donkey from Shrek. But the second song? It was THE SHIT. In a good way.
DAVID COOK
Clearly American Idol wants him to win and clearly he is awesome. Clearly he wouldn't be here without Daughtry and clearly is not as good a singer as Daughtry, but I still dig him. And clearly I love using the world clearly.
SYESHA MERCADO
Argh!!! I have never been so conflicted about an American Idol contestant before! I seriously c-a-n-n-o-t stand her but she sings really really well. Dammit all to hell!
BOTTOM TWO? Jason and Brooke.
Jason going home - please please please.
You?
Oh and P.S. Gotta pimp the Coloradoan. Ace Young has a new video out.

I clearly also love clearly and David Cook, clearly.
I also clearly loved Carly and i think she should be there, clearly over dred boy. Clearly.
LMAO!!!
I really want Syesha to go home and start her career on Broadway. That's what she and her big ol' ego are suited for.
I'm over Jason and his dimwitted, squinty-pot-smoking-face. Brooke was better second song (thank goodness) and The Davids...your assessment of A is right on (holiday sweaters-hahaha!) and C. is exactly dead on.
Clearly.
Yup...it should be Jason that goes. His voice is WEAK. I too am tiring of David A. His bashful, aw-shucks way is wearing. The best vocalist of the bunch day in and day out is David Cook. Whether he wins or not is another thing.
bovine teet??? OMG!! hilarious!!!
What was up with Paula??! Do you think they give them their lines before hand? Or do you think the judges watch them during rehersal. She can't be THAT out of it, can she? And did you see how Ryan panicked and looked at the producers!
SCANDAL!
AMERICAN IDOL SCANDAL PEOPLE!!!
Okay, I have to say that David Cook should just be declared the winner RIGHT NOW (Represent, Kansas City!!! He's from a burb of KC, in case ya didn't know).
I love, love, love Brooke, but she kinda looked like a Muppet on the first song. WTF?
The others? Meh.
And did Paula pop a few pills during the commercials? She was a disaster. Her handlers need to do a better job of, er, ah, handling her.
OMG, I totally forgot to yap about Paula and her lines... she was ODD!!!
I think we were on par with each other last night. I was laughing too hard while doing my recap because I was trying so hard to be nice...
Clearly, Jason must go. Now. Tonight.
We thought Randy was trying to help Paula but you could tell he wanted to ask her if she had a stroke (toke) or something. His reaction to her was the best part of the show! Other than her injection of comedy, I thought the night was a little bit blah except for David Cook. We both said the two songs we didn't want to hear were "America" and "Sweet Caroline" -thanks David A - twofer right there! I am so over him and his licking lips!
Mary Beth, I *love* Sweet Caroline and it still didn't pull david A out for me.
jason's going home.
coming out his dreads? i haven't noticed. all i can think about is getting out the clippers and shaving it all off. they need to go.
OMG!
When I found out it was Neil Diamond week, I looked at him and said - "The little David is going to sing either 'America' or 'Turn On Your Heart Light.'" Oh, how we laughed when he busted out with "America." Seriously - that kid is going to throw me into diabetic shock, he's so saccharine. He's like a Vegas Lounge singer...and he's primed to have the longest lounge career in the whole history of Vegas. (I almost died with the holiday sweaters - that was priceless!!). Why do the judges keep blowing sunshine up his posterior??
Syesha can go - she's got a BRILLIANT career on Broadway, and I'm being sincere when I say that.
Jason Castro - should have gone long ago. Can we please get him off my TV? Please, Vote For The Worst people?
Brooke - she's wonderful at what she does, and has a lovely voice. But she's kind of a one-trick pony. And that's fine, if you like what she does (which I happen to).
I'm on Team David Cook. I almost want him to *NOT* win, though, because it seems that with the exception of Carrie and Kelly, the REAL success comes from getting kicked off at about this point in the competition.
LOVE your blog, BTW. Enough to de-lurk and throw my two cents in, even!
OK I continue to disagree with your take on David Cook. I think he is original and a better singer than Daughtry, and ohmigod so much cuter.
I think the problem with Syesha is she has no color to her voice. I've been known to warble a bit, and I can only tell you that you have to be able to do more than hit the notes. Yeah she can hit any note they put in front of her. But every note sounds the same. She's over-trained I think. Plus, I don't think singing is her first priority...I think she is an actress first, singer second. I'm done with her.
okay.
first of all, i don't think paula had lines that she messed up, i thing she's on crack. or a whole lot of prescription pills. mixed with hard alcohol. she makes me insane.
next- dude, all you people with your MEAN comments about david a. true, i would never buy his album. very true, he's headed down the path right towards josh grobin and holiday sweaters. but he does have a fantastic voice, and he's just a little boy! a cute, YOUNG kid who can sing really well. BE NICE!
Finally, yes, jason needs to go, as he is the worst.
i like to think about how i would feel if i heard them on the radio, and would i buy their music. syesha, no. jason, no. david a, no. david c, yes, brooke, yes (even though she definitely isNOT the best, i like her style).
okay, there's my forty cents.
I was wondering when I was going to get in trouble for picking on the youngin'.
Aimee, let me tell you about pickin' on the young'un here in his home state and home town. Even though there is a media blackout on publicity not driven directly by AI, our local stations and newspapers are still finding angles. I think Simon had it right a few weeks ago when he said David A is a stage show at Disney waiting to happen (or something like that). A recent article in the SL Trib on David A had a storyline about how ever since he was a little boy he's wanted to use his musical talent to spread the word of the one true church (he's Mormon). Don't even TRY to offer a critique on him that isn't sunny and loving anywhere in SLC. Trust me when I say that the the uber-organized church membership and its "calling trees" will keep David on until he wins.
Sorry. Being sassy. But honest.
As you know, I'm a fan of the iTunes studio versions of many of the unfavorites (Jason in particular). But David Cook still takes the songs and makes them his own, so I gotta still root for him til the bitter end.
Going home? Jason or Syesha. Not sure and can't call it from my gut.
Maxwell, that makes me so sad. And icky.
And poor Brooke. I knew she was going to breakdown when she left. Sad.
