    PLEASE tell me you are posting the segment where Cookie and Archie are together and DC is talking about the going away dinners and what DA said about Amanda - It is a freaking riot and may be the funniest thing I’ve seen all season. I’ve been a big David Cook fan all along (He had me at “Hello” har har har) but that clip made me love him even more. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.

    LOL AlwaysElliott… that was one of the best parts of the whole show. :)

    LURVED the chest bump. We better get one of those next week!! Do you hear us C&J???

    The Archie/Cook moment was so funny. They really are cute together. I wish they could both win.

    :D MJ, you’re my hero. Yours is the only blog I’ve consistently followed through my three years of Idol experience.

    Hey everybody this is the Syesha thread…now that I have your attention: she is really pretty and quite stylish. She should get a shampoo commercial or a cosmetics commercial.

    Sy is most def. a beautiful girl. (now, can I gush about David Cook?)

  10. 10 Seraphina May 15th, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    Yes, Syesha is a beautiful girl…though I have to admit I miss her floofy hair. The new look is stylish, but somehow lacks the character & fun of the floof.

    LOVED the chest bump & the Archie/Cook bit. :)

    Yeah, Seraphina, I miss the natural look too. She wore it so well. I hate when people have to go mainstream with the hair, as they say. Oh well.

    Syesha came off really well in those interviews. She seems like she has her head on straight. No pun intended. :-) Good for her!

    Her floofy hair made her look like Ronald McDonald.

    MJ, if you’re here, we aren’t getting the first impressions video. It’s Syesha again.

  13. 13 tinawina May 15th, 2008 at 10:56 pm

    Her floofy hair made her look like Ronald McDonald.

    Damn dude. LMAO. That’s what black hair looks like when you don’t put stuff in it to make it straight. At least, that’s what SOME folks hair looks like. I would look like Shaft or something if I tried it. Hee.

    She looks good with it straight too, though. She’s just a pretty girl.

    The chest bump made me scream excitedly…OH HOW I’VE MISSED MICHAEL…I love the male bonding between him and DC! haha

  15. 15 AInoob May 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am

    Loved the chest bump! I’ve seen comments mentioning this before, has this happened between Cook and Johns previously and I missed it?!

    Happened on stage during one of the group numbers earlier this season footage that clearly merits consideration for the AI hall of fame.

    As for Syesha, kinda of believed what she said about making it to the top three as being her final goal. Her restrained performances Tues nite would re-affirm this.
    Is she first AI contestant to advocate meditation as a way to maintain focus midst all the distractions? I’m pleasantly surprrised by the level of sophistication shown in that interview.

    My girl continues to make me proud to be a fan. I have been cheerleading for her for weeks now and to see her at the end of this road TOP THREE is really gratifying. She will be signed and she will sell nicely I think. She has a grace and dignity about her that is really great to see. Brava S-YES-ha.

    Oh, I love the natural hair. That will be my look this summer.

    I must have missed that show (figures, I miss all the good stuff). Thanks, J.S.G.

    Syesha looks happy. Top 3 is pretty impressive.

    Love the chest bump! Here’s the group song where the other one is, AInoob. It’s not the clearest video but the best I could find.

    Aha! The first chest bump in action, lol. Thanks bean99, I appreciate the link.
