Tonight’s song list from TMZ
Thanks to Liz for the Tip!
Jason is awesome and I am ready to buy his album! I love his light airy style. It’s like Paula said - he knows who he is as an artist and he picks songs that suit him perfectly. They’re not all that flashy, but neither is he. He’s actually kind of shy, so it’s amazing he’s doing as well as he is.
That said, I stood at my kitchen wall phone and voted for him for about an hour and 15 minutes - or about 600 times.
No, he wasn’t the best tonight, but I still want him in the Top 4.
THE NIGHT BELONGED TO DAVID COOK. and Michael Johns. I thought they were both freaking fantastic. Michael, Michael, Michael, you’ve came back!! His two killer notes at the end just knocked me out. And I loved his face listening to the judge’s comments. David just simply kicked ass.
and my other favorites, Jason and Jacuzzi. Although I did love Jason’s performance tonight, he needs to kick it up about four notches and come out fighting. But I wonder if he can - he’s such a laid back guy. I thought Chicazee was fantastic tonight and totally disagreed with Simon and Randy. He was soulful, passionate and his voice sounded great. I guess they don’t want him to win.
Ramiele started off great and kind of fell apart.
Syesha had her best performance yet.
Brooke was good. It looked like she really wanted to start blabbing to the judges in her Brooke way, but kept stopping herself.
Little David was good, but could have picked a much better song that was more familiar. I never heard that song. I wonder if his father picked it and if Simon’s remark that he was sure that little David didn’t pick it was targetted to the dad.
Kristy was smart in picking that song as sappy as I think it is. She is going for the country vote. Good thinking, Kristy.
And my “favorite” Carly. To be fair, it was a good start, too much screaming in the middle and the end sucked big time. She is so desperate to get her “big moment” and the praise she thinks she deserves and, once again, she didn’t. I almost, almost, felt sorry for her, but not quite.
I just watched David Cook again. I can’t believe how excellent he was. His voice was absolutely outstanding tonight. He was controlled, didn’t go over the top. Great, great performance. After reading comments on other boards, the only thing I think will stop him from winning is people (not me) don’t seem to like that he uses other people’s arrangments even though they are all credited. They are all questioning the original and brave comments from the judges.
Other thoughts - I’m not liking the background singers this year. And, yes, David Cook had a pretty big head when he was little. Jason gets cuter each week. Little David seemed more relaxed tonight. My new top three is Jason, Michael and David Cook. Brooke has a hot dad.
Michael Johns and David Cook were fantastic.
Brooke was very good but that band needs to butt out occasionally , they were just too loud and drowned out the performance.
David A. gets on my nerves. He is prone to “preachy” songs and I’m losing all interest in him at all. If I want to be preached at I’ll go to church . Simon was correct for a change . His song choices are horrible. This kid can sing but I am seeing him on stage in the middle of six flags and not so much a major recording artist.
The judges were much too hard on Carly , she did a fine performance of that song.
Jason , I don’t get him. He has had one really good performance but the rest meh.
I know it will never happen but I sure would like to see the little preacher go home.
