Great tagline, BTW :) I feel the same way.

7. Syesha(Still like her softer voice and hate her diva voice. Had me wincing when she was pushing it.)

Same here. I'm surprised Simon didn't say "self-indulgent".

[silent_jonny]

The "Meh"

LOL

David Archuleta - Dull, dull, dull. Yet another yawner of a song choice, which he manages to pack the total life experience of a teenager (read: none) into its expression.

Exactly.

Isn’t Toby Keith the one that had the big feud with the Dipsy Chits?

I think so. Don't know for sure.

I think they ALL are indulgent in their own way. Some because they won't vear out of their comfort zones, others for thri song choices.

The next few are really sort of 'meh' as they cull the herd. There is such a vast difference between the top two and 'the rest'

The next milestone is top three, because they get their hometown parades. The question is who will take that third spot? Right now I'd say Kristy has a pretty good chot at it, with Carly close behind her. David C and David A, taking the first two spots.

Dull, dull, dull. Yet another yawner of a song choice,

That could be said of several of the contestants!

[Miss Didi]

Thanks for sharing that story (sniff).

Let’s just say Randy is NOT color blind.

Dial Idol Predictions:

David Cook 1-2

David Archuleta 1-2

Jason Castro 3-4

Kristy Lee Cook 3-5

Carly Smithson 4-7

Brooke White 5-7

Syesha Mercado 5-7

[Netizen]

I would switch Kristy and Jason and Syesha and Brooke but other than that I think its accurate.

That's what I've been trying to figure out with Taylor Swift.

OMG. I am so glad you said that. I can't figure her out either. I just don't get it.

[Netizen]

Did you watch the second season? I didn’t start watching until the third season. One of the articles I read said that Jason had Clay Aiken Eye Syndrome, last night. Any idea what that means?

[Netizen]

OMG. I am so glad you said that. I can't figure her out either. I just don't get it.

Maybe itsa generational thing? I don't get the hoopla for Miley Cyrus or her alter ego Hannah Montana either.

[retrokitten]

Yeah, he always said he’s a dem and wouldn’t switch parties.

Speaking about just his music, he’s had a couple of good songs, but every time I’ve heard an album of his I’ve been disappointed. The best songs are the ones they play on the radio.

[retrokitten]

That I sort of get, because she’s got a show on Disney channel and that age group (pre to early teens) always seems to attach itself weirdly to some band or singer (New Kids on the Block in my day).

But I don’t think anyone was giving out awards to New Kids. Didn’t she win Best New Artist at the CMAs? I’ve not seen anything new or original in her music.

I guess, like the Hillary Duff phase from a few years back. In my day it was David Cassidy and or Bobby Sherman.

She did win something. Do they give away an award to 'most annoying and tedious' performer?

[Miss Didi]

The Post calls him “Baby Elmo.”

Mariah and the Men of 'Idol': It's Their Night to Shine

[Clint N. Suhks]

So you’re pulling for Brooke too?

[ChocChipCookie]

She has this spoiled brat sound to her voice when she sings. What I don’t get is that teeny-boppers aren’t normally country music fans, and that’s the only demographic I can possibly imagine buying her music. My 6 yo stops in his tracks and gets a big grin on his face when one of her videos comes on. Go figure.
