Top 6 Results



I know this is old news--but I need to vent. I really don't think Carly should have gone home. Blah. I knew she wouldn't win, but she is better than 6th place. I think Brooke's face pretty well describes how most of us felt when they announced the results. I actually really like Brooke's style, I just think at this point almost everyone is out singing her. And thanks to votefortheworst.com I think Brooke will be around a few more weeks. I'm not losing sleep over it, it's just lame.

Next up: The internet is evil. Let me explain. I read a few blogs that talk about American Idol and quote media and news sources, and I think I might have to stop. There is SO much comparison about these two that it's getting out of control. "The man vs. the boy", "David vs. Goliath", etc. I think they are both crazy talented. Archuleta has a more stylized voice and sounds very polished. David Cook has a raw edge to him that is hard to describe, but it's appealing! I love them both--and I just have to say (because apparently I feel pretty strongly about this) that about 60% of me hopes David A doesn't win American Idol. He'd have more freedom with what kind of album he'd like to make, and not be a slave to the producers that are waiting to pounce on him and control every move he makes. Having said that--I'll be bummed when he goes home if it's before the finale. I hate reading all the garbage people are trying to "dig up" because the Davids are in the spot light. I don't think America knows either of them as well as they think they do. It's funny how I get so in to American Idol but when it comes to the end of the season, I find myself getting annoyed with all the hype over little things. Can't we just watch and enjoy? Blast the media (ironic that I'm using a major outlet of media to post my thoughts on how much they bug me). Ha!

Call me crazy but I actually like Brooke. I vote (yes, I really vote!) based on ALL of their performances and I think she's done a good job this season. And I like Carly Simon guitar/piano vibe. Or maybe I'm just being a good Mormon girl. ;) I don't think Carly should have been off last night though. Can singing a Jesus Christ song (even a Broadway one) turn off a lot of voters? And I honestly don't get the Jason thing. How is it he's not even in the bottom two? I don't like him at all.

All in all, it really doesn't matter because it will be a battle of the Davids. And all the losing contestants will go on to Broadway - like Tamyra, Clay Aiken (what's with the hair? gag.), Diana what'shername, etc. But meanwhile it is fun play along.

Good point. I like Brooke too, I really do--I just think it's time for her to go :) (And Jason)
RaeLynn said…
Oh, and we totally vote--there is no shame! :)

yeah - i am shocked that brooke is still around. i don't think she's THAT good. i'm actually kind of surprised she has made it this far. i think she just has a lot of mormon fans. ser. she's not horrible - but i don't think she's great. i liked carly a lot - she had a beautiful voice and lots of character. i hope david cook wins - i think he'll record an amazing album even if he doesn't win.
it is sad about the media digging whatever they can about any stars. i know when i was famous. . . kidding.

als: i still hate you for tricking me that cookie was voted off.

Ha ha ha...the media is always out of control! I like them all...I think they are all great!!!

Okay I have never liked dred locks boy (maybe because I spent too much time seeing Rastas in Africa?) I just think he's goofy--not charming. Brooke is great and I'll buy her CD but it's time to C-YA. She needs to go home to her husband - he looks lonely and she looks WORN OUT!! (however if I looked that amazing when I was worn out...) I was just sad to see Syesha in the bottom two. I mean she's not going to win and I'm not a big fan of hers but she seriously ROCKED that song and Brooke really did butcher hers...total popularity vote. Too bad. Go Double D!

I totally agree....Brooke should have got the boot- but whatcha gonna do???? Anywhoo...off the topic slightly - can I just say Jason "what's his bucket" totally BUGS big time!!! During the results show how he nonchalantly YAWNS back stage - like "whatever dudes- this ones in the bag" A little cocky if you ask me...but whatever. I just don't care for the boy. I hope the David's carry it to the finale. THAT will be an AWESOME show. Wow this is a long comment ;)

I like Jason. He just hasn't done ANYTHING remotely interesting for weeks. He's not really trying to do ANYTHING else with his voice! He's totally ignored the mentors and done whatever he's wanted, which is just more of the same thing.

The fact that he's not being put in the bottom two is just CRAZY.

He needs to go...but there are too many screaming teenage girls voting to keep him in!

LOVE the Davids. LOVE THEM!!!!!

I cried when Carly went home...So stupid. Brooke is ok, but not better than the other girls...I am sick of her crying and everything...you know. SHe knows she needs to leave as well. I think people were "offended" about Carly's song...I don't know why---it isn't my fav, but some people i think just got offended for some reason, and I think she foresaw her little "mormon" ( yes it is true, it is a HUGE MORMON show--think about it, it is clean, good, fun and talent) crowd not understanding the song.
I have heard it before, and the first time threw me. Carly did try to sing another one. It is all lame. This is the time in the show where I hate it--someone amazing always goes. I pretty much agreed with everything you said. I need to vent somehow too. Sorry

Above- I'm with you...I can't deal with Brooke's emotions. I just feel like she is DRAMA all the time, and she should save it for Sunday.

But I like her. I could just NEVER chill with her, therefore she should leave my show. I wanted to party with Carly.
Melissa said…
I'm still blogging about Michael Johns leaving 3 weeks ago. Don't get me started on Carly's early departure...
Stephanie said…
Okay, that is the best picture of Brooke's face. It was similar to my expression, and probably every AI fan out there.

I could care less that Carly went home. she has a good voice, but her performances always seem forced. And Brooke and Shyeeeesha can join her.

I actually like Jason. I don't care for the dreads, but I like his style. I could totally chill with him and would be more likely to buy his CD than any of the girls. I like his Jack Johnson style.

And yes, it better be a DAVID finale. If it's not, I will be bitterly disappointed.
