Did they add more phone lines? I've been sitting here voting for Brer Rabbit (aka Jason Castro) and I've gotten through every time. I've NEVER had this happen before and I believe that he has a fairly decent following...? :confused3 Even when I was voting for John Stevens I didn't get through every time!

I don't know, but it could be that the lines are available because THIS IS THE MOST TALENTED SEASON YET :rolleyes1.
Or maybe it's that the audience has heard very few winners and they just aren't voting in droves (the way they did in past seasons).

agnes!

i only got in like 3 times for David Cook all night. they were really busy.
 
I voted for david cook, david A, and micheal johns,
i liked most performances tonight, i didn't like jason yeager..........or jason castro.
i actually liked chikezie tonight too!
 

FWIW, DialIdol is only predicting that David Archuleta is safe this week. The rest of the guys are all within the margin of error of the bottom of the list.
 
I hope that chickeze and david cook go this week. I have to close my eyes and just try to listen to david cook without seeing him because to me he just looks so slimy I cant stand to watch!

good maybe they will all go...2 weeks of horrible singing....they need to go....:lmao:
 
Tonight I thought we’d be savaged by the 70’s but instead it was a partially brilliant, partially boring event. Here’s my take on the top 10 guys.

Michael Johns – Looking back, I always felt I didn’t remember much about the 70’s. Getting married, having kids sort of sucks all that out of you. But this group managed to find some of my favorite songs and his choice of Go Your Own Way was one of them. He had a rather shaky start. Shaky as in his voice was shaking. Was it nerves or just a lack of ability? I think it was the latter. He also changed the tempo which didn’t work for me at all. I’m another one who does not see what all the Hoo Haa is about this guy. I gave him a 6.

Jason Castro – I Just Want To Be Your Everything. – Aww, he’s just such a cutie. I thought the guitar player was unnecessary tonight and agreed with the judges that it would be nice to see him sing on his own. Still it was a good performance. He gets a 7.

Luke Menard – Killer Queen – I’m not sure what the judges were listening to but I loved his rendition. Great voice and good stage presence. Simon was a real twit, not only to Luke but a few others. Is he not getting enough sleep? Anyway, like I said, I loved it and he gets a 9.

Robbie Carrico – Hot Blooded – Eh, it was OK and I really like this song but his performance just didn’t do it for me. He gets a 6.

Danny Noreiga – Karen Carpenter Song .. Long Ago? – Very weak performance, I found his voice to be just plain boring. I think his run should be over after this presentation. He got a 4.

David Hernandez – Papa Was A Rollin Stone – I was actually cheering for him like a preteen girl. This has always been a favorite of mine and his performance was amazing. Loved his voice, loved his stage presence and he sold this song all the way. David gets the first of three 10’s for the night 10+.

Jason Yeager – Without Love – Probably one of my top five 70’s songs by the original Doobie Brother but not by this guy. There were parts of the song that he was speaking more than singing. Another thing is his voice has a real nasal twang to it that drives me nuts. He got a 5 and most of that was because I like that song so much.

Chikesie – I Believe To My Soul – I made no secret last week that I felt he should have been on his way home but after last night’s performance, I take it all back. It was a great performance and he just seemed like a totally different performer. He also had the best line of the night when he said Simon was the only person who would wear the same outfit twice. I loved it all and he got a 10.

David Cook – All Right Now – I don’t really know if I like this guy or not. His voice is OK, really better than just OK and his guitar playing ability was impressive but he just doesn’t MOVE me. Add on to that the whiney comments after he sang and I was less than pleased. He got a 7 and most of that was for the guitar playing.

David Archuleta Imagine – Imagine this show was over tonight. David would be the winner. Seriously, what’s not to like about this kid? He’s adorable. Girls want to marry him, mature women want to adopt him. He seems like a really nice person. And lastly, he has the voice of an angel. I was worried when I saw he was doing a John Lennon song but it was magnificent. I actually had goosebumps and, hey, he made Paula cry. So what else could you give someone who does those things? He got a 10+.

Who I voted for:
Luke Menard
David Hernandez
Chikesie
David Archuleta

Who I think Will Be Going Home
Danny Noreirga
Jason Yeager.

As always… JMHO! :teeth:
 
Michael Johns – I don't remember it at all! So not good I guess

Jason Castro – I Just Want To Be Your Everything. –I like him and give him a HOO HAA!! Just so relaxed and natural.

Luke Menard – Killer Queen – I thought he was GREAT! His voice is smooth and hot. My dh said "he is just an average guy blah blah blah." I replied "I want to hang out where you are hanging out because that ain't average looking from where I am." and added but of course I think you are hotter honey.....(No Moment of Truth show for me:rolleyes1 )

Robbie Carrico – Hot Blooded – I thought I liked it but then after they ripped him apart I kind of got the forcing the rocker thing. So I guess not so great. I can't get Brittney singer out of my mind.

Danny Noreiga – Karen Carpenter Song .. Long Ago? – He has a long career ahead of him at a Escuelita in nyc.

David Hernandez – Papa Was A Rollin Stone – AMAZING!!!Dang that boy was good. My dd voted for him!(she's 10 and in love with another idol so this was big for her)

Jason Yeager – Without Love – Creepy to the 10th degree. And I want to slap that smile off his face.

Chikesie – I Believe To My Soul –What up dog?!! He was ON! My 3rd for this week

David Cook – All Right Now – number 4 for me- I want to like him more.

David Archuleta- Imagine. WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! He is so stinking cute and boy does he have some serious pipes. At 17 to sound like that?? I have said that I want to squeeze him down and carry him around in my pocket- a little less violent than paula wanting to pop his head off and hang it from her rear view mirror- but same theory. He really is amazing and adorable and my dd wants to marry him. (he got all the rest of her votes.)
 
Just throwing this out there. DH said (and I agree) that Luke Menard looks aWHOLE lot like James Vanderbeek! Also, Chikezie...Carlton Banks anyone?




My thoughts tonight:
Michael Johns......He got a vote from em cause I like him. This wasn't his best performance though.

Jason Castro......Got a vote from me and I likes this rendition.

Robbie Carrico.....Got a vote from me and I liked this song from him.

Luke Menard......What the FART??? This was an embarassment! Certainly no votes from me.

Danny Noriega......He's the prettiest girl in the competition! But no votes from us. Another ??? performance.

David Hernandez.....I didn't vote for him cause I don't like looking at him (he looks like my ex). but a NICE song from this guy!

Jason yeager.......he's going home tomorrow isn't he? Anyone else think he's shaped oddly? He has big hips and a big rear, but he isn't fat. Weird...

Chikezie.......Better tonight. NO votes from me though unless he does the Carlton dance!

DAvid Archuletta......Yes yes yes!!! Votes galore. What pipes that kid has!
 
You know I just watched David A's performance again and now I have tears in my eyes.

Amazing!
 
I thought David H and David A were the best this week by far. I did throw some votes to Jason C and Luke though because I still like them a lot too.
 
David A is the only man that has any real talent I think. David John's looks good but he is annoying, not as bad as Danny but still. I think David John's THINKS he is going to win. It will be interesting to see him when he gets booted off.

The women aren't much better. I hope the rocker Nurse (Amy?) comes out with a ballad tonight. I would really like to hear her voice behind the grit. I think if she can nail a ballad similar to David A that will turn the tide for her in the voting.
 
David Archuleta... once again my opinion has diverged from all of America's (and the judges). I guess tens of millions of people can't be wrong, but the kid bores me. :confused3

Chikeize... In it to win it, baby!

Michael Johns... Not that I have a mancrush or anything, but that guy has my attention every single time he takes the stage

David Cook... Dude! I didn't know you were a rocker. Nice job upstaging Robbie Carrico and exposing him for the faux rocker he is. :thumbsup2

Danny Noriega... waaaaay too fabulous for my taste. Hopefully he's done :sad2:

The rest = sameness. I don't care which one goes home along with Danny tomorrow

ETA: Dang, almost forgot... Jason Castro, WASH YOUR HAIR!
 
I enjoyed last night a lot better then 60s night.

Who I enjoyed:

Michael Johns -- maybe it wasn't his best, but he can just stand there and smile and I will enjoy it ;)

David A --- I like him, he's a good singer, but he DOES have that "golly geez whiz" look :rotfl:

Luke --- I love Quenn and I thought Luke did it fairly good. But he is kind of cute

David Cook -- I wasn't too sure of him last week but I liked him this week

Middle of the Road:

Robbie --- I want to like him but he just hasn't Wow'ed me
Jason C. --- I really liked him last week but this week was just OK
Danny --- He's good for some laughs ;)

Who I would like to see go home:

Jason Y --- he is just so boring
Chikeze --- just can't get into him
David H --- something about him really, really bugs me. I can't even watch him perform.


I am not expecting a lot from the girls tonight. Maybe a couple like Asia'h, Seyesha (sp?) and I am curious what Amanda will be singing. Oh and Danny's twin (I can never remember her name) She might be good tonight.
 
Michael Johns- Loved his performance last week. This week I thought it was just ok and kinda boring

Jason Castro-I really like him, but thought his performance was weak last night.

Luke Menard- Better than last week, but still not good enough

Robbie Carrico- I was expecting more. Enjoyed him last week.

Danny Noriega- Not a fan. I have a hard time watching him

David Hernandez- Loved his vocals! I think he did a great job!

Jason Yeager-Didn't care for it and he's a little too smiley

Chikezie-I thought it was a great performance, I enjoyed it

David Cook- I enjoyed his performance, didn't care for his attitude

David Archuletta-Loved Loved Loved his vocals! He's a Star!

My top 2 picks:

David Archuletta
David Hernandez
 
Michael Johns – Go Your Own Way – I didn't like this choice for my Man tonight... and if I didn't like it I knew no one would!! His voice was shaky and he looked tired... what was UP, babeee???
:sick: Maybe he had the girl's flu?

Jason Castro -- I Just Want to Be Your Everything – I love this guy, there is something innocent and adorable about him. MUCH more adorable than the wind up toy Archuleta. I wouldn't mind seeing him put down that guitar AND WIN! :thumbsup2

Luke Menard – Killer Queen – I felt like throwing a brick at Simon, I thought this performance was a MILLION times better than last week. It was the first time I saw his potential. I hope he sticks around.

Robbie Carrico – Hot-Blooded – I wasn't that impressed with this, he also needs to keep his ROCK OF LOVE scarf on his head. :3dglasses

Danny Noriega -- Superstar – This was an octave below his comfort zone and just aiiight.... Danny's pictures looked like an adorable teenaged girl.. which is what I think he wants to be.:confused3

David Hernandez – Papa Was a Rolling Stone – I liked him this week, and he has hunk potential if he didn't have that deer in headlights look. I usually HATE remakes of the Temps but he did alright.

Jason Yeager – Long Train Running – This guy is cheesier than Chikizie's suit last week. He reminds me of a beauty contestant smiling thru the mike. I totally agree that this is NOT a song to show off vocals and doing the Doobie Brothers while looking like an Osmond Brother is NOT a good thing...:scared1:

Chikezie – I Believe – MUCH BETTER. I saw his confidence and LOVED his performance of the Hathaway song. Really nice to point out Donny's daughter... Elliott Yamin also acknowledged her year before last. Donny Hathaway committed suicide a few years back, must be hard on her. :guilty:

David Cook – All Right Now – I think his voice is okay but his hair and look is sooo distracting. I agree with Simon, he has NO charisma. This WILL hurt him.

David Archuleta -- Imagine – I love the tone of David's voice but he seems so manufactured he's a turn OFF. I see nothing at all attractive about him, he looks like the class doofus. Doesn't matter, thousands of tweens disagree with me...:laughing: ... so I'll have to deal with him probably until the finale. Imagine THAT!

It's hard to predict who will go home, I can only make a prediction based on the fanbases that have popped up everywhere. Chikezie and Hernandez don't have big followings so I assume it will be them. Who knows? :confused3 Danny has VFTW but so did Amy last week. David, Jason and Mike have BIG fanbases so I think they're safe. But as we all know, AI lets thru who THEY want thru on the tour. It's decided a long time ago.
 
i can't get thru at all for David Cook.

Love ya, baby, keep trying!
 
You know, I watch this dopey show week after week, year after year, hoping for a moment like David A's Imagine last night.

I never gave him a second thought because I am soooo NOT a tween girl :lmao: , but now...he has my full attention.

I totally welled up with tears and I can't explain why. It was a combo of that song being sung by that kid.

BTW - where can we get MP3s other than ITunes (my MP3 player is not an IPod)?
