Once again I find myself agreeing 100%. David Cook has understood what the judges have been saying all season about “make it your own”, and boy, did he EVER!

[silent_jonny]

I get the impression he's a cut-throat little SOB behind that gleaming smile.

So do I.

[silent_jonny]

Imagine you’re his girlfriend and you wake up in the middle of the night or the morning with one of those laying across your face.

Or in your mouth--LOL!

[silent_jonny]

If he wins on “social issue” songs, I’m gonna be REAL disappointed!

Oh he knows what he's doing. He knows people will respond to those songs, especially when the person singing them is just so goshdarned cute as he is.

[silent_jonny]

Did he sing the old Ray Charles tune "Hallelujah"?

No, it wasn't nearly that good, lol.

I may not have the title of the song right, but "Hallelujah" was repeated throughout. You've heard this song, I'm sure. But it wasn't the Ray Charles song.

[silent_jonny]

There you go. That’s the song.

[silent_jonny]

Ain't the truth.

Oops, should have been "Ain't IT the truth", but you knew what I meant ;)

I really think McCain can beat Hillary.

Me too and beat her decisively.

Obama would be a tougher fight, but I think McCain could beat him too.

For now I'm just going to enjoy watching Obama and Hillary beat the hell out of each other ;)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

You've heard this song, I'm sure.

I'll hit the DVR when I get home.

BTW thanks again for hosting this year. This is my first night posting. I've been way too busy up 'til now, but it's good to be back among FRiends.

You're welcome and you're welcome here any time :)

I voted for David Cook (he’s a hometown boy) and got through every call. In all the years I’ve called to vote, this is the first I’ve never had one busy signal.

[silent_jonny]

Danjaya - You can’t get any gayer or worse that that. He makes Liberace look like Chuck Norris.

LMAO!

Anyone know if Idol is online anywhere from tonight? (or always?) I’ve got friends out of the country wanting to watch from afar and I knew if anyone knew it’d be one of you guys! :-)

Actually I missed the first half and am just now seeing (Michael was the first I’ve seen) the second half so I’d not mind watching the first part, too.

[andyssister]

Didn't see the boys tonight, but based on this thread and the VFTW thread, I gather I didn't miss much. ;)

He thinks people should know about people who don’t have things like such as

LOL!

Oh he knows what he's doing. He knows people will respond to those songs, especially when the person singing them is just so goshdarned cute as he is.

Unfortunately I can envision him all too clearly as the warmup for the Dimocrat nominee on the campaign trail.

.....especially when the person singing them is just so goshdarned cute as he is.

And besides which, "People just like him", (insert pic of Stuart Smiley)

[peggybac]

Love the kitty picture - sooooooooo funny!

[peggybac]

Goodness, just reading my post. Forgive the grammatical errors. Oy.

I’m sick to death of the way they fawn over David Archuleta! Simon said he’ll be in the top two when they haven’t even picked the top 12 yet! They all talked about the fact that he’s an experienced performer. He’s so socially conscious he’s become the Inconvenient Contestant. It’s all just so precious. Gag me with a spoon (couldn’t resist. It is 80’s night;)

[Ciexyz]

He's so cute!

Hehehe.
