Brook you might just have to pass something along to him for me ;)

Tuesday May 13, 2008 8:11 Emily Richett

Cook seems like the logical choice.

[Comment From BethBeth: ]

I've never seen the Dance show. It seems a lot more subjective than a singing competition

Tuesday May 13, 2008 8:13 Beth

8:13

[Comment From Michele DeSelmsMichele DeSelms: ]

I remember Bo Bice saying he was sitting there thinking "Please don't let me win this thing"... I think David Cook would have more control over what songs he puts on his album if he *doesn't win

[Comment From RJRJ: ]

Vocal Range, looks, and the on stage personality she has shown over the last few weeks

Tuesday May 13, 2008 8:26 RJ

Choices of the contestants:
Archie: "With You" by Chris Brown. "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg.

David Cook -- "Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot.

Syesha Mercado -- "Hit Me Up" by Gia Farrell (from "Happy Feet").

Archie always sounds like he's out of breath just speaking. I'd be worried to make him have to sing a whole concert by himself

Syesha is okay... just not the best Afican American singer they have ever had - or even close. She good looking which is always important in Hollyweird... it is a shame about Melinda Doolittle last year... she was absolutely brilliant...sadly not good lookin enough for the sahllow world of entertainment

David A and Syesha can sing but I don't think they bring anything unique. David C blew me away with what he did with the Mariah song. I have no interest in her and he turned her song into something very current. The other two never do that

Then there is david c... well he is obviously the most commercially viable... and wll obviously do the best of the bunch in the industry on the whole. You don't need PHD to figure that out... he has it all, great freindly humble, cute lookin' a style..a great voice... and the most important thing... musicality... he writes adn produces his own music... has been for years and has a self prroduced album out already which is awesome.... so he wins on all counts... a hard worker who has dedicated his life so far to music andone the hard slog and deserves it and has a streak of uniqueness to him, personality, looks and heart!

How irritating. I can't believe that they're still doing abbreviated songs this late in the game. A sign of a true performer is their ability to hold your attention for a whole song.

Wow! They've done such a complete Justin blackout for the past few years, I wasn't sure I'd ever see his face again. wish I knew the real story - he's never in the retrospectives or anything.
