American Idol 7: Top 4 Performances, Live Thoughts - Page 4

Jason Castro: I've begun to dislike Jason more and more over the last few weeks. While his second performance was solid, his first was not good. Because he wasn't horrible and he was solid, I think this may be Castor's last week. After all, this has been how eliminations have panned out.

David Archuleta: Accordingly (as the judges so discretely put it) he was the best of the night.I'll admit, his performances this week were much better than those of weeks prior, but the pimping was again too much. Go figure, he'll stick around for next week.

Aside from the performances, I thought that the drama that ensued after Randy's comment for Syesha's second performance was unprofessional. Kind of shows us why Randy should go; aside from being cliché in many aspects, he's not content with being criticized himself. That's not good, plus he's coming off as way to smug.

Castro was solid???!!!!.....LOLOLOLOL.....are you drunk, fool?!!!!! Go away! He was horrible!!! Of course, he's pretty much been horrible all season!!!! What a sad Final Four this is!!!! The show is going to suffer greatly because of this season, which was supposed to be the best ever!!!! Very poor season!!!!!! David Cook is the only one who belongs there!!!!

Jsaon second performance "solid", did you take a bathroom break or something, he forgot the words in the beginning of the song..... thats bad. And I am sorry just because he has dread-locks doesn't mean he can pull off Bob Marley.

Now I thought David A. first performance was better than the second. Love me Tender is one of my favorite Elvis songs and he ruined it.

Syesha, yah i think she played the race card to keep her there another week. That is just as weak has her performances.

Even though I love David Cook, I was alittle disappointed in his song selections tonight, he was totally in his element and could have rocked the house. But all and all i think he did a good job.

I'm in California. I'd rather have another week of Jason than another week of Syesha and her puff balls grinning at me.And as for David Archuleta,he's looking if not stoned,then more and more lost each week. His voice has no power. Has anyone else noticed that? When I played Clay Aiken's first audition on my computer audio-no augmentation,my husband yelled at me to turn it down because he couldn't talk on the phone. with the lowest setting. It was a piercing voice. David whispers beautifully. As for anything that is uptempo-truly sad.

Bama78 & acemondo: I'll admit he was no where near good, but if he was solid he has a chance at going home. I'd prefer that to labeling him as horrible and having him survive another week.

Thanks for the thumbs down, though.

missed cook's first song but caught the a highlight and if that was highlight from "hungry like a wolf", that must have been a pretty bad performance. his second was typical cook, start slow, build up, yell loud notes at end. he's got a strong voice but predictable. though syesha got praise from judges, both songs highlighted what i don't like about her: out of control, shrieky loud notes and weak, wandering low notes. and what's with the drama, she's taking acting to a new level on ai. jason, the bob marley song was a train wreck, "tamborine man" better but forgot lyrics. instead of humming awkwardly, he should have kept strumming and catch the next line, would have been less goofy. but the judges eviscerated him tonight. archie was just archie, nice voice, nothing particularly exciting, just ok for me. makes me really miss brooke white and what she brought to the show. i'm voting for jason anyway because i can't stand syesha and no way should she be the last woman there.

Well Linus, its just an opinion. I don't think he was solid. I agree with the others on how this is one of the worst seasons, to me 3 out of 4 should have been gone weeks ago. Some of the talented ones were voted off. Then the show would be more entertaining. But maybe the mistake they are making is leaving it up to America. I'm sorry but how many times have they got it right.

Linus92 · 05-06-2008, 07:47 PM

Yep, I understand that, and thanks for keeping cool.

I agree with you though, I miss Michael Johns and Carly Smithson right about now.

I read somewhere that David A's father was the Force behind his son and made all song choices. Guess he has been asked not to be at some previous preformances because of behavior

Bama78 · 05-06-2008, 07:48 PM

I totally agree with you on that.
