No, you really didn't miss a whole lot. I expected much more especially when they had 500 songs from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to choose from! Oh well. Young David (Archie) performed really well and so it's no surprise that the judges raved over him.

I really think Syesha made the best song choices. Archuleta was very good but I guess I am just not into him like those crazed, screaming fans are. I am among those other crazed, screaming fans for Cook! "Reeling'" just about put me to sleep. These songs/skits are so cheesy. I could barely even hear the 4 of them singing.

I am not too sure I like the Q and A sessions. It can be funny but most of the time I feel like just going off to the kitchen and getting myself a snack while muting this part of the show.

David Cook wasn't on his toes when asked out by the girl in PA. Hey, I live in PA, I would have been very offended too! LOL Yep, Ryan saved the poor girl from being totally humiliated and made a good save. Still, that is pretty lame putting a guy on the spot like that! Can you say many others wouldn’t have done the same? Get rid of the Q & A session, IMO.

It was 10 times worse with Archie and Jason’s responses! DUH, trying to overcome my brain being dead?? Guess we couldn’t expect anything else really. Archie, so cute and naïve and just giggles while saying I Dunno, Sorry! Great job, guys! WOOOOOHOOOO! Who really pays much attention to this worthless segment anyway? Ok, we do, but then should we really care? Yes, they will have to deal with the public so they need to work on this area.

Syesha has really put her heart and soul into the past 2 week’s performances. Most improved, I would say. Looking forward to her performances this week. Will be very interesting.

I don’t understand why Jason didn’t sing the song that sent him packing. After all, the other contestants have to. He couldn’t keep those dreds out of his way while playing guitar. That was so annoying. The whole darn performance was annoying and embarrassing. What a flake and what a waste. Thank goodness he is gone.

As for that being a silent plea of Jason to get kicked off, I think that kid is so far gone that nothing matters to him at all. He is a goofball! If he left, OK, but then if he won, OK that would work too. Jason- I don’t give a f#$% about anything but my pot. WEEEEE let’s get high!!! I will say he didn’t have a terrible voice and he can play guitar, but just nothing special about him. He never, ever belted it out and as DoughtyOne said, it didn’t come from his chest, but his throat. He was mediocre and not nearly as talented as the others. Up, up and away in a puff of smoke! No, I don’t think Bob Marley will become a fan!

My note: Cook could star in "Hair" and Archuleta could star in a remake of Grease? How's that, Apropo?

Now that is hilarious!!! Thanks for the laughs on that one!

I enjoyed Bo Bice’s performance much better than Maroon 5. Actually, I muted it because I cannot stand that lead singer’s voice. It was like somebody’s nails scratching on a blackboard! Maybe that is how you felt with Bo’s performance. Whatever floats our boats, right?

Momma Dina Lohan – Outstanding (Long Island) Mom of the Year? What a wonderful world we live in. GEEEEZ Also, the first time a woman and a black man are running for President. How do we contain our excitement? LOL

Now, this is a Duet! A fine example of making it your own.

Thanks for sharing. Sara Evans is pretty good. They are a fine example of making it their own and great chemistry but I don’t like his voice so I don’t like his voice mixed with hers! Bon Jovi and Sugarland are more my speed. Thanks for sharing because you led me to that! LOL

Did you hear the latest news on David Archuleta’s Dad? Banned from Idol backstage!

I wasn’t able to stomach Maroon 5’s lead singer either. Ouch!

When he sang that duet that Fight_Truth_Decay provided, I found him much more tollerable. His stand alone performance was tough to take.

As for Archuletta’s dad, that’s interesting. Sounds like we have a stage-daddy on our hands.

You bring us the Latest!!
Run it as Breaking News on a new thread..dare!
We got your back!
Did not know about Achie's dad.
We will see how that effects his performance. May be more
relaxed and will be able to respond to "simple"
question asked by a fan-not play the Pass card.
Should levy a fine on Pop for extra money spent because of time.

I liked them (Maroon and Evans) into the duet. But then I liked his voice before and even better with Evans. Bon Jovi and Sugarland were very good also. See everything is suddenly Duet now - crossovers, thus the search going on: Can You Duet.

Now am going to go do a story on Gas Station Owners See Profit in Alcohol Sales. Suppose consumers are pouring into the tank? ;)

I couldn’t even tolerate him in that duet. Just not for me.

Archuleta’s stage-daddy has too much time on his hands. Hope poor David doesn’t suffer because of it. I mean at home and not on stage. Twisted version on http://votefortheworst.com/ This could really help David Cook or the Archie fans are more determined to pull him through?

I can see why. His voice is just odd to me as well.

As for David A. vs David C., I don’t know how this will affect things. I’ll be voting for David C.

I too hope this dad doesn’t take this out on his son at home.

I hope this hasn’t turned into a situation where the kid can’t even enjoy this success. He seems to be a good kid.

LOL I will let you run the new thread! Double dog dare ya!
Yes, Daddy should pay a fine for costing them extra money. Oh, maybe DoughtyOne can do it since you will be busy with your Gas Station Owners See Profit in Alcohol Sales!

Everything has gone duet and looky what I found! 2 of my favorite Idols that performed on Ellen. I really like this “One”

This week is very important for voting. Yes, please don’t forget to vote for David Cook!

I do think David Archuleta is a good kid. He is talented and a good singer but his dad is really a slave driver. The poor kid, gee maybe I shouldn’t get on him for being so giggly and giddy. He could be a bitter and cynical kid with a dad like that. Hope the kid does well but don’t think he is ready to be an American Idol.

I do think he is immature. It’s rather clear why. And he jumps at the slightest thing, so I think it’s pretty clear his dad has a problem. That’s too bad, because I see David as a kid that wants to please.

I won’t forget to vote.

There you go. Looks like fuel is the big winner, one way or another.

I can’t blame the station owners, as long as they stick with ID checks.

RockerMom2MyHero,DoughtyOne: I only "stepped out" to do that thread ( Gas Prices Turned Me into a Drunk while Pumping Gas at the Local Mini-Mart scenario)..Idol is the longest running thread I have ever been on. Can't into trouble with Idol!

Carly Smithson & Michael Johns - Hold On, I'm Coming _Chicago

(same link showed Carley's talents).

Love Chicago!!! Thanks

In this photo released by Warner Bros., talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, chats with 'American Idol's' Michael Johns and Carly Smithson after they performed a duet of 'One' on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' at Pioneer Court in the heart of downtown Chicago on Saturday, May 3, 2008.

Very common here, and yes IDs are checked like any other place of purchase.

The story showed that mini marts are making profits WITH other merchandise (check out the gas station gourmet!I eat weird gas station food and then write about it.) which was the case anyway. The Herbal pills post was funny!
What: Super Start - A Complete "Hi-Potency" Vitamin and Mineral Packet
When: May 4, 2008
Where: En route to Boise, ID
Cost: Unknown (Purchased by Dave, the bastard.)lol

Then found the Gourmet Gas Station.

Creative business owners always survive. You don't just hold one single stock in a portfolio-diversification keeps you afloat.

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, I think this is the longest running thread I have been on! It keeps going and going. It has been lots of fun! I think Jason will be on Ellen today. She was talking about it Friday and said she will find out whether he said Don’t Vote, Vote Vote or something else! Jason was on Regis and Kelly this morning but I missed it. AWWW Shucks! I would like to catch him on Ellen just to see what he has to say.
