American Idol - The Top 4
All I really have to say is:
GOODBYE JASON.
But, OK, I will add a few more comments, you know, since you are here and all.
DAVID COOK
I was wanting to love Hungry Like The Wolf because I adore Duran Duran (and by the way, Danielle and I are going to see them in ONE WEEK, squeee!!!) but I felt like overall Cook's Duranieness was a bit flat. However - his Whoness? FREAKING AWESOME!!!
SYESHA MERCADO
Proud Mary was totally a performance of Tina Turner. Totally. Albeit a good one, but it was just Syesha acting like Tina. And then she chose to sing Sam Cooke. WHO I LOVE LOVE LOVE. And then she chose to compare the civil rights struggle to her own personal struggle to stay in a cooshy hotel and be served gourmet food and sing on stage once a week. What the holy FUCK was THAT about? Yes, she sang the song really nicely, but ARGH!!! Why can't she keep her yap shut? And that hot mess at the end? She is one fine actress.
JASON CASTRO
Simon: "What were you thinking??" Jason: "I was thinking BOB MARLEY!" Oh my word, that one stoner moment on American Idol was probably my most favorite of all time. Thank you, Jason, for toking the weed and making me laugh. Have a nice flight home.
DAVID ARCHULETA
He's still singing 'em for the old folk, but DAMN the boy sings 'em AWESOME! I literally rolled my eyes when they announced Love Me Tender, but I *LOVED* IT. Wait, does that make me an old folk?
Clearly Jason is going home.
And you?
P.S. Thanks, as always, to Rickey for the screencaps.

While I've loved Jason in the studio, tonight was just ugly. But then I think about what must be going through his head each performance night, knowing he's the chosen son of votefortheworst.com. I do feel for him. And I think he's going home tomorrow.
I still love David Cook, and along with the AI producers, would love to see him win. His Who-ishness was phenomenal.
Syesha is something else. Wow. But I have to say the hair extensions are far better than the mop top she used to be sporting.
David A...well, he's coming home this week to sing the national anthem for the Jazz/Lakers game, so I guess the entire state of Utah, the Mormon church and old folks will have to vote for him so that isn't all anti-climactic and all. But Love Me Tender was very good.
Me? Getting bored with Idol. No passionate favorite anymore.
I still have yet to see David A's performance so I will come back after that and weigh in if you are an "old folk." ;)
But you know since I text you my feelings on Syesha that she is one piece of work. The crying. The civil rights movement reminding her of her struggle (gag!). Honestly, Sam Cooke is one of my all time favorites and I think she didn't do his memory justice. I don't care if she has pipes, she has a lot of nerve. Maybe I'm an old folk but I think divas should earn their diva attitudes.
Good point Siz! Divas need to earn it! LOL!
Ok I am back. I am an old folk too then cuz I rather enjoyed David's rendition of Love Me Tender. He's so young he had to go look it up! Damn, that makes me feel old.
But he mixed it up and it sounded good. I hope one of the David's win but mostly David C. But honestly? I don't much give a crap anymore.
My post is up and is very similar to yours! Oh, that BOB MARLEY comment will go down in history. I'm glad he screwed up his words to just ENSURE he will go home. Right?
Yes, it's time for Jason's bootheels to be a-wanderin. Syesha's not quite good enough, David Cook's starting to bore me. So it looks like early fave David A's my final fave.
Even though he does the same kind of song every week.
What? You don't think "Life a la Syesha" is just as important as the Civil Rights movement???? Gasp!
Yes...goodbye, Jason. You've had a good run, but your time has come.
My DVR screwed up and didn't get it. Too bad...I'd love to have seen the performances you described. Jason should have been gone long ago. Now, it's GOT to happen!
I literally screamed out loud "OMG, he forgot the lyrics!!!"... really.
And Syesha. Like I said in my blog post, BROADWAY. Broadway bound.
David Cook could be a tad 'down' with his performance due to his brother huh? Any update on him? It's gotta be on his mind for sure!
Bad bad night for Jason. Bad night.
June, go to Rickey.org - he has tons of MP3s and video!
I really like Jason Castro, but I agree, he should go tonight (it seems like he wants to leave, right?). But then that leaves my three least favorite contestants out of the top 10 and I'm not sure why I would watch anymore!
Syecha and the civil right thing - UGH!!!! And Jason messing up his lyrics and just being a FREAK with Bob Marley - Double UGH!!
If Jason escapes, I'll be really surprised!
I loved David's second song too. Absolutely awesome.
if Jason doesn't go home tonight, i'll be PISSED off. seriously.
Tell Nick Rhoades "hello" for me! You lucky, lucky lady!
Carrie, I am ALL ABOUT John Taylor.
Moral of the story: I want to lick David Cook's face.
Does that Castro kid remind you of the John Travolta character from Battlefield Earth? Or is it just me?
('just me who thinks that', NOT 'just me who reminds you of crappy John Travolta movie characters.')
