Didn't think anything could get cornier than Chikizie tonight...Jason Yeager proved me wrong...

I liked his performance, too! It's an old song, but I like it

I liked his performance, too! It's an old song, but I like it

well, it is 60's night...all the songs are OLD! Too bad I remember all the words to them!

 

[SadieDog]

I didn't care for Moon River.

I don't think he has a bad voice (probably the best we've heard so far tonight), but "Moon River"? And the finger pointing and smiling during the song? Pure cheese!

 

[disneynutt1225]

This year could be very interesting. Favorite so far was David Cook.

 

[Poohbear123]

One is the loneliest number that you will ever do.......not bad, just so/so.

 

[SadieDog]

I really like Robbie.

 

[BuckyFan04]

Thanks for posting that list of themes from each season, Mandy! It's interesting to see which themes have been used every year, and some of the themes that were only used once. It's interesting that Country's been used every year, even though Simon hates it. Maybe it's just because it's different than a lot of the themes that are used?

I liked Robbie's performance!

 

[RyMickey]

I thought Robbie's "One" was pretty good. My favorite so far.

 

[Mickey's sunshine]

I like Robbie best so far tonight.

Hey Faith!

 

[mandy200587]

Welcome! I think he just hates that country twang. I don't think he would last a day in Nashville.

I thought the music and the background singers overpowered him at points.

But overall, not too bad.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

it's been a while since i've been to the boards lol.


LOVING Dave Cook. so far, his was the only performance that didn't pretty much put me to sleep.

i'm looking forward to Michael Johns. the rest of the guys this season are really forgetable.

 

[Poohbear123]

You better shop around.....

 

[Philadisney]

Oh yay I had to work late tonight and was so nervous I missed most of the show, I didn't realize it was two hours tonight. So I only missed the first four, which I imagine Rickey will have on his website at some point anyway. I'm glad I didn't miss David A, I like him so much (although I don't really care for this song). I'll have to read all your comments so far and see what I missed!

 

[Poohbear123]

Go David go!
