DAVID A. is the NEXT AMERICAN IDOL.. no doubt at all...

I also wonder how wonderful you would have been at his age. Perhaps you prefer unkempt appearances like the other David. His hair reminds me of the scene in "There's something about Mary" and all he does is yell the lyrics. Just give the young one the chance and I think you will see that he is the most talented of them all. Also, who really cares what your opinion is. I certainly don't.

That was the strangest thing I have ever heard her say, and she has said many a strange thing over the years! Can we PLEASE get some more contemporary artists on this show? I like Neil Diamond, but how can we expect these kids to make his music relevant? That being said, I think David C. once again was the best. This is David Cook's competition. If he doesn't win... I'm done with AI. What was up with Paula? That was the strangest thing I have ever heard her say, and she has said many a strange thing over the years!

We said these exact words last night regarding the Davids being finalists and David C. winning. Since the greatest talent was booted last week, the whole show would be a sham if David C. doesn't win. We think Simon should protest by quitting if DC doesn't win. Amen Denise. We said these exact words last night regarding the Davids being finalists and David C. winning.

You said much more clearly what I was trying to say - Jason is criticized for being Jason, and David A with his power-pop can do no wrong? We are so lucky the judges can see into the future. I may not waste my time watching tonight since it's Syesha's turn to go. Sherry - I LIKED Forever in Blue Jeans, too!

With her, you're never quite sure: Is she off the meds, or on them a little too much? Either way, one must respect her awesome power to peer into the future -- and determine that Jason's second song would indeed suck. Bravo.

Denise...best column yet...and well..you got it right! Will say a couple of things...I thought Brooke was a goner after that first song...I think it's still a possibility even though she did pull off the 2nd song. I believe final two are Syesha and Brooke. Question: why did the judges criticize Jason for the exact same thing that David A. did? David A. was neither original nor did he add an pizazz of any kind to what he sang. Don't get me wrong, I have liked and still do like David A. but boy, there sure are some inconsistencies in what the judges have been doing. And I LIKED Jason AND his "forever in blue jeans". David pulled a Kristi Lee Cook when he chose the song "America". Someone knew what they were doing. Was it David or was the song chosen for him??? Last comment: Simon deliberately trying to manipulate the audience to get Syesha off the show with his last second comment on her being in danger. The judges this year have been really weird and after the last few shows...I think we can be pretty sure that something somewhere is rigged! Last night I said "David C. will win it all".

I also hope Cook doesn't win it so he can write his own success story. I think Paula blew it with Jason's critique - does make one wonder if things are rigged? (Naaah...) Jason, I gotta say, just does what he does. I really still think that he is a huge talent. Anyone that enjoys Aqualung, or Jack Johnson might agree - there is nothing wrong with a soothing voice, a pleasing sound and unflappable charm. These crappy theme nights are just not made for him (or Brooke). Why, oh why, can't they have a more topical theme on these nights? Let's have a Green Day or Red Jumpsuit Apparatus theme night! Or as Denise alluded, something that is a better fit with the singer's talents. I agree with the opinion that the 2 Davids will be in the final.

If nothing else, this week should finally shut up those Archeluta lovers, as he was dreadfully awful. He was off key more than he was on, and he had no influction in his voice nor emotion. America, should have had alot of influction and forcefulness, and he just stood there and did the same old crap as always. He sounds like he is singing the phone book every week, and he never changes or learns anything, that is why Diamond said he hoped that David listened to him. HE IS TERRIBLE. You would have to be deaf not to have heard this last nigh. And Syesha, was better last night, but still off key at times. I just don't know who keeps voting for these two. David C. is without a doubt the winner here. If not, I certainly will never watch it again, and will send a protest to the station. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND Get it right!!!!!
