David C better win it!!! He certainly deserves it over DA. IMO, even though he has quite a bit of talent, DA is more fake than anything with his reactions. He has been in this business for 5 or 6 years and I think is willing to act however he has to to win.
Hopefully David C can pull from the Syesha vote(a more mature voter?)to win this!!! I was blown away that he tried out on a whim and was originally supposed to be his brothers support while he tried out.

Re: American Idol
haha i loved when Ryan asked Fanstasia about her hair...so Fantasia, what color red is that? she says quite quickly...i dunno ryan, i just tried it. hahhaahahha thatw as funny.
Even though fantasia didnt sound great tonight, you cant help but love her, she is an amazing person. I just put that song she made famous I BELIEVE onto my ipod !
as for the results, well nothing too surprsing really. I didnt expect anything differently. It has been predicted for weeks, it was just a matter of picking off the other 22 contestants one by one by one every week. good luck to the 2 davids for sure.

Re: American Idol
The fight of the century . . . not!
revised song list from rehearsal:
Clive Davis
I've found what I'm looking for - David C could have been better, I think . . . but I stll loved it
Don't let the sun go down on me - David A not bad, definitely sewn up the tweeny vote . . . but I have heard this song done much better on this show, it doesn't measure up. . on second hearing it kinda stunk .
David A won this round . . . unfortunately. . switching to DTWS
. . back to AI
Songwriters
Dream Big - David C--- better than round 1 . . . didn't hold back like first one
I'm getting the feeling he doesn't really care about winning at this point. . . something is not there . .
switching to DTWS . . . debating whether I want to watch David A . .back to AI
In this moment - David A --- ackk. . a damn ballad . . definitely aimed at the tweenies . . . and it's pitchy .. . my ears . . .
David C --- because he is better on ears and eyes. . .bite me, judges
switching to DTWS, back to AI -- just for Collective Soul and David C
Personal
The World I Know - Collective - David C-- music sounds a bit off, but I love this . . .
switched to DTWS . . hmmm Cristian . . . do I have to switch back?
Imagine - David A -- can he sing something other than ballads?. . . zzzzzzzzzzzz Paula is really enthused tonite, isn't she? . . . please don't start with the tears
Round 3 -- David C
Should win: David C, because Disneyifing John Lennon is just wrong. . .
Will win: David A, because tweenies are the targeted demo, David A is marketed to that demo blah blah (cynical, aren't I
)
now, to the real competition: Kristi vs Cristian vs Jason ---- DTWS

Re: American Idol
Ugh, this sucks. Enough with the Archie pimping already.
I hate Simon, he goes on talk shows all week and pimps Cook and then completely throws him under the bus tonight.
and the songwriting songs are STUPID.

I'm going on the record, he's gonna win.
I've had a feeling for weeks because I know he gets the tween vote(read: the people who vote a gazillion times).
But I'm gonna vote for Cook anyway and I never vote.

Re: American Idol
They both have very different styles. I think DA's voice is beautiful, especially coming from someone so young. DC's niche is definitely along the lines of Collective Soul, etc. I think that they both should get contracts, just like they did with Ruben and Clay. Both have promising careers in their respective styles.
I loved "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" when Clay sang it twice. I loved DA's version of it as well. A little bit of a different take on it, but a lot of emotion and strong vocals.
I just hope DA's Dad doesn't ruin his career for him.

His Collective Soul performance was the best Idol performance since Katherine McPhee's Over the Rainbow. Don't see eye to eye with the judges.
I'm voting for Cook. What were his numbers again?
1-866-436-5701, 03, or 05!
