American Idol

Just saw a clip of David Cook last night...when they were announcing the phone number, he held up his fist wearing the orange band for leukemia and Charlie's daughtere!!

Just like the Kennedy assassination, I remember exactly where I was when I heard my first Beatles song. Their music is timeless and very special to us Boomers.

Did anyone think Amanda would be getting the ax this soon? I knew she wouldn't make it all the way, but I thought she'd last a bit longer. Sad. I'll miss her.

I thought Crissy Cook would be the one voted off and Amanda would make the top 10. You can never tell with the public voting...I was surprised to see Carly in the bottom 3...she can outsing a lot of them!!

Amanda was brutally butchering the melodic structure of The Beatles songs and typecast herself into a Southern Rock/Janis Joplin hybrid. I'm sure she'll be a big hit on the biker circuit and probably hook up with Jesse James at some point but rural America wasn't buying it. Doesn't surprise me at all, she was the least talented of the bunch and her act was getting old fast...

David Cook had short sleeves on tonite so you could see he was still wearing the orange band...he did great and I voted for him.

I think the best performance tonite was Michael Johns but that may be because I loved Queen!

There were 3 or 4 good performances tonight but the rest don't seem to get it. Where (or how) are they coming up with these songs? Is someone giving them bad advice?

[NR4]

David Cook was really good, could be the class of the guys.

[BucShot]

I thought David Cook and Michael Johns were both good tonight. If they continue at this level they'll hang around to the end.

Missed last nite cause my part time Home Depot gig!

But the Irish chic has my vote, she just needs to pick her songs a little better.

Sorry to see Chikezie go, but it was inevitable.

Prediction: David Cook and Michael Johns fight it out all the way to the end.
