My mom was visiting last week. She thought my David Cook obsession was a little strange until I reminded her it is no different than her love for all things Derek Jeter. Then she understood. My dad used to say to her, "your boyfriend's on the TV".

I love them both so you're family gets thumbs up from me

When?! Video?! I'd like to see!!! Did he sing the Whitney belt it out version or the Dolly version?

I found this... but he was like 10 at the time and it doesn't sound like his voice changed yet

You know I never look at Mandy's spoilers but this time I did and let me say I am a bit disappointed in the lack of Kenny songs. I love Dolly for Dolly but I like Kenny's songs better. As well as Dolly knows Kenny I wish she was coaching them on his songs. this will be wayyyyy too much Dolly....

I was looking forward to someone singing: The Gambler, Lady, Lucille, Coward of the County or something like that....DC singing Morning Desire would be great too...OH well....I will go listen to one of the 14 Kenny CDs I just downloaded....as i didnt have them

I almost think it was the judges decision to do just Dolly cause Dolly had said it would be her songs and Kenny.

I am probably going to get some David A fans mad at me but does anyone think that he is hurting himself by not doing any arrangements even remotely current? If he resurrects that song from his archives, I really think that he is going to start eroding his fanbase. Of course, if tptb just want him to win so they can mold him, then it's all ok. I know he is gifted but he should show the world what he would be like today. He's only 17. I feel like he's been so controlled and staged and doesn't even act like a kid.

I completely agree. What 17 year old boy dreams of singing "I Will Always Love You" on American Idol?!

I thought this was great...

Kids grow up too darn fast. My little baseball player is now in college. Luckily, I still have one at home.

Is the order the way they're performing, Mandy? Does that mean I get my boyfriend coming in and my husband going out???

Bjork!

And back to David A. --just how does a 10-year-old kid end up singing a song like THAT to a bunch of firefighters??

Daddy sets it up

 

[TiggerPiglet]

No I just figured with all the Yankee talk I would have to throw that out there. I am actually not sure why, but I am a Dodger fan. I started watching baseball in the 80's so I just started watching the Dodgers. I live in SC but like LA team...oh well....I knew I would get yall stirred up though.....

Well, Dodgers I can tolerate. The Red Sox are a whole different story, lol.

Back to Idol, is Dolly going to be on the show on the judges' panel or will she just be shown on the big screen between songs?

 

[mandy200587]

That was the order they recorded the songs in the studio, not how they are going tomorrow apparently. All this came from a radio DJ who got the songs to start playing after tomorrow night.
