- That cracks me up.




Who would have guessed that Syesha would be the last girl standing??!!??

I didn't see the performances but I watched last night and saw the highlights. Brooke has really stumbled through the last couple of weeks . . . it was time. I think the pressure got to her and she couldn't let the past so-so performances go. David Cook, who I think should win, comes across as almost over-confident now . . . I don't like that, but I do think he's the best. I thought Archuleta did well although I'm still not a fan . . . Like Angie, he just annoys me. The Neil Diamond songs seemed to suit him and we finally got a break from the ballads. Syesha does much better in a Broadway type atmosphere/performance.

Oh goody I just found this thread. I love American Idol but don't admit it to people! LOL

I agree with everything you just said.
David Cook does seem over-confident. The first time I saw him though I thought of The Joker, the way his mouth/smile is! I know thats bad.

Archuleta is a good singer but boring. The girls seem to love him though.

I enjoyed watching Brooke but yes I think the pressure was too much. Same with the kid that just left. He seemed like the average teenage boy, not taking something seriously. He just needs time I think.

Syesha is pretty good, I vote for her just because she is the last girl standing!
Did you see where they showed past American Idol runners ups are doing a lot of Broadway? Its great to see how well they are doing. Its almost better to not win!

I haven't been paying attention the last two weeks, I'll have it on the tv but it's basically been background music

What a surprise, it's the two Davids

Do I need to pull up my old quote to remind you guys . . . I predicted the two Davids in the final . . . not what I wanted, but what I thought would happen. Every week, Archuleta gets on my nerves more and more . . . "Gosh"

Janet, I'm with you on that one! *licks lips* He gets really annoying if you (*licks lips*) actually watch his performances. Mmmmmm.... Gosh... Mmmmmm.... I do have to admit uh gosh though that if you don't listen to his interviews (*licks lips*) and don't watch him mmmmm gosh on stage gosh he's not half (*licks lips*) bad.

Excellent!!!!


Good thing there is only one week left. I now feel compelled to keep a tally of his nervous habits for next week!!!! Good thing we didn't talk about this sooner and turn it into a drinking game or something . . . we'd all be smashed!!!

Im so glad for this thread> i had no idea who got voted off lol. I was trying to watch it during commercials of my hockey game and it just wasnt working lol.

I hope david cook wins. The litle dude just gets on my nerves lol

paula

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Me too. I kinda don't hope he wins though, cuz he needs to have some artistic freedom. The pop machine did wonderful things for Jordin Sparks. I don't see that working for David Cook.

I was happy with who won. I think i was as shocked as he was tho. I was crying and hubby was laughing at me lol.

I didn't even watch the finale... I was taking Tori to the circus.

Was it good or was it another gay boxing themed show?

It was pretty good. It had lots of people from the days when i was growing up. They had zz top, george michael (gag), bryan adams, and of course carrie underwood, jordin sparks. I was hoping they had bo bice sing, but of course not.

You didn't miss anything. The show was blah! I bet the circus was fun, did Tori enjoy it?

I think I enjoyed it every bit as much as Tori did. It was totally awesome! I hadn't been to the circus (except for the cirque de soleil) since i was little so I had no clue what happened there. It was great. She even got called up to jumprope with the clowns in their preshow. She did have a hard time sitting still that long. Luckily the seats folded up so she could dance around a bit and burn off some energy. I only wish it would have been earlier in the day cuz the actual circus started at her bedtime. She did sit in my lap at the very end. Of course, I ate that up because she normally can't sit still that long.

BTW, she is now officially gluten free again. She's a totally different child.

Sounds fun, Angie!!

I watched part of the final show. I agree that David C. was the better choice. But, I still don't like him.

I hope that next season is better than this one. I quit watching, essentially, once Michael Johns was voted off.

See, I didn't even like that guy. I thought he was annoying and smug. It's amazing how much people's tastes can differ. And I did NOT agree that this is the most talented lineup of singers they've ever had. I believe that was last year. A lot of contestants last year didn't get enough credit just because they didn't fit the pop demographic.
