American Idol 2008--Live Thread II

Im kinda hoping they shock the crap out of me and send Monchichi home

Me too. He wore out his welcome with me a long time ago.

I have a confession. I am a huge Monkees fan.

LOL! The way you said that made me laugh. All serious like :)

Beat me by 11 seconds! LOL!

I burned the tip of my right pointer finger (did you know that big metal part in the dishwasher gets EXTREMELY hot? I do now) and it’s making typing slow going.

I’ve been begging for Neil Diamond night forever, so maybe they will finally listen about an ABBA night next season.

They seem to ask those that have new CDs coming out, or shows (ALW)

(Brooke) Im thinking she is overdo for “das boot” LOL

Me too. She definitely deserves to go before Syesha.

David A. could go home. That would be welcome and shocking.

It would be welcome to me, but not shocking. I think Syesha has been much better than him since at least Broadway night. She's stepped up her game. He hasn't changed at all since we first saw him months ago.

It reminded me of the time you told us you are a Huey Lewis fan and we all made fun of you.

OK, I made fun of you. ;-)

From Drudge: Hillary agrees to dance on Dancing with the Stars!

Ouch! Too bad I was wearing my glasses when that thing came on my screen. ;-)

Sorry... it's the pain killers I am on.
I just keep seeing Monchichi's everywhere!

Among the many things I don’t understand is how everyone else gets busted out for not being dynamic, EXCEPT Monchichi! Jason gets it all the time.

Monchichi with a street thug’s weapon. Hmmmm...

Love, love, love, your tagline.

Thank you :)

Those are hooligan Monchichis! The one has an eye patch and the one in back is packing heat! LMAO!!!

Micky Dolenz also doesn’t like to be stared at :)

Tonight was a perfect example of what can happen when the contestants have absolutely brilliant material to choose from. Niel Diamond is one of the greatest song writers of the last 50 years, and every thing he has written is melodic and listenable.

1. David Cook - I'm Alive - While there have been some outstanding performances already this season, this was the first time I thought to myself "I would buy a CD with this song on it". This performance had #1 hit written all over it. Outstanding!

2. David Archuletta - America - Simon hit it on the head when he said this was a perfect song choice. David sang it brilliantly, and for the first time in a while I was feeling some love for Monchichi.

3. Syesha Mercado - Thank the Lord for the Nighttime - OK who else was getting a major Martha Reeves/Diana Ross vibe from this. Syesha has found her comfort zone. When she has fun and just sings she is brilliant. Hopefully the last couple weeks have taught her to stay away from the POWER songs and just let her beautiful voice entertain us.

4. Syesha Mercado - Hello Again - Another vocal masterpiece by this young lady. She is so wonderful when she just sings.

5. David Cook - All I Really Need is You - This was another excellent DC performance. Not amazing, but very very good.

6. Brooke White - I am, I said - Finally Brooke is back behind the piano and the whole Carly Simon/Carole King sweetheart I fell in love with is back. Very pleasant.

7. Jason Castro - Forever in Blue Jeans - This was a nice solid Jason performance. But as usual it was nothing spectacular, just nice easy listening background music.

8. David Archuletta - Sweet Caroline - Ok, Monchichi has a great voice, and he sounded great on this song, but I absolutely HATED the arrangement, and it ruined a good vocal performance.

9. Brooke White - I'm A Believer - KARAOKE with a capitol K.

10. Jason Castro - September Morn - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.. huh? What? it's over? THANK GOD!

Overall ratings - David Cook, Syesha Mercado, David Archuletta, Brooke White, Jason Castro.

Who should go - Dread boy Jason. He has a nice voice, but c'mon he is not anywhere near the class of the rest of the field.

Who Will Go - Brooke most likely. Jason has all the "oh look at those dreamy eyes" brain dead morons voting for him, so I have to say I think Brooke may be in serious trouble. Although Simon was right, Syesha needs to worry for no other reason than the voting weakness she has shown all year.

Tony, I have been voting non-stop since 8:55, my phone is boiling...lots of busy signals tonight. Last week there were none.

Well that is ONE thing Archuletta does not have in common with Monchichi...we know Archuletta AINT packin! LMAO ;-)

LMAO!! Yeah, but it’s because Mickey doesn’t want you to notice how poorly he’s aging.
