My favorite from Ahab te Arab:
“SHUT UP BABY, I’M TRYIN’ TA SING!!!”
Do you think so? I thought the best season was with Pickler, Daughtry, Elliot, Hicks and McPhee.
What a fun year that was! What does everyone else think?
ME!! I’m a dedicated Ramsay-ite.
Best collection of performances tonight. Hard to rank tonight, so I’ll do it in groups in no particular order
The Best
Brooke, David C., Jason, Carly
Good, but room for improvement
David A., Kristy Lee, Syesha, Michael
Meh
Ramiele
Two weeks in a row Kristy sings well enough to justify continuing on in the competition. She’s found her niche.
My rankings overall (change from last week)
1- Brooke (+1)
2- Syesha (-1)
3- Jason (+2)
4- Carly (+2)
5- David C (+2)
6- David A (-2)
7- Michael (+1)
8- Kristy Lee (+2)
9- Ramiele (—)
Note: Chikezie was my #3 last week
Kristy Lee is probably gone, but Ramielle should be gone.
Right now, David Cook is the favorite, with Brooke at #2.
I’m not much of a Dolly Parton fan, but tonight’s perfomances were pretty good.
Ranking them:
1. David C.(May be the most talented in the competition, but I still doubt he’ll be able to overcome David Archuleta’s fan base)
2. David A.(No denying the kid has a great voice)
3. Michael (When he stays within his vocal limits he’s actually a very good performer)
4. Brooke (I thought that was well-done)
5. Carly (Very talented singer but often I don’t care for singing decisions)
6. Syesha (Needs to quit trying to sing so big. I really like her softer voice)
7. Kristy (Not bad. Probably good enough to keep her in another week)
8. Jason (Also not bad and probably good enough to keep him in another week)
9. Ramiele (Just has never jelled as a performer. Think she’s gonna be gone)
Aw, shucks. Thanks guys.
I liked that season, too. There was eye candy for the girl fans, eye candy for the guy fans, the Gherkin kept everyone laughing, and the Soul Patrol kept everyone cheering.
This year you've got talent but not necessarily entertainment. Simon alluded to that with his critique of Carly - "You don't look like a star." No one seems to have a sparkling, engaging personality - except maybe Jason and he just has everyone wondering if he's stoned.
His whole body is larger than Seacrest's body. He'd look like a pin head with a smaller head.
is anyone else having problems with the ‘time’ area of their post. I can’t seem to get the proper time to post.
“A.I” contestant David Cook was rushed to the hospital tonight after experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure, and released a few hours later. His condition is still not resolved.
As we first reported, Cook was not feeling well during the day and his condition worsened after his performance. Cook was examined by show medics who determined his blood pressure was “far too high.” Cook was urged to leave for the hospital during the show, but he wanted to wait it out.
After the show, Cook was driven to the hospital (not by ambulance) and treated by a private doctor to keep everything on the down low. The doctor gave Cook medication to bring his blood pressure down and he will monitored again Tuesday.
An “A.I.” exec tells us Cook has been completely stressed out because his brother, who has been sick with cancer, had a setback within the last week. Earlier in the season, just before a performance, David collapsed and said he could not go on — though he pulled it together at the last minute.

As if the David Cook emergency wasn’t enough, Ryan Seacrest suffered his own injury at “A.I.” tonight.
Sources tell us Ryan ran into a wall and smashed his knee. He was treated with ice packs and gimped through tonight’s show
Check out the second comment! lol
The only one I really liked was Carly. Kristy Lee Cook should go this week. I also dont’ like Seyesha.
4 & 5 are still the best seasons overall.
3 is still the worst.
The jury is still out on this season, but 19E and Fox should not have over-hyped this group. They’re middle-of-the-road. No Sanjayas, but nobody from this group has really asserted themselves either.
Also, this is the second year in a row where the best overall singer in the group has little chance at commercial success.
I just saw that link on Drudge. He must be under an incredible amount of stress. DC has me hooked this season. I actually purchased his version of Billy Jean on iTunes.
I don’t get the second comment....is this a gay thing?
