I thought she should've stuck around for a couple more weeks at the very least. Oh well  Maybe you NY/NJ locals can go watch Clay Aiken perform on Broadway huh? I like Neil Diamond so that should be a good show. Maybe one of them will sing Forever In Blue Jeans.

Next up... Syesha and Brooke: Brooke is safe & Syesha is Bottom 2 ???!!!?!?! WTF??? Makes you wonder about the demographics of the voters. Do any of the fab 4 here vote? I don't. My wife does. She voted only for David A this week. In previous weeks she voted for 3 or 4 people. Carly does appear to be a fun-loving person, but she has that screamer upper range - not good. Lord Andy Lloyd is a strange duck, but he can sure write some incredible music. Vocally his big songs usually cover 2 octaves and this group was having a hard time with that range of notes. Brooke had the smartest choice of songs for her range; about a half an octave. Now we switch gears to Neil Diamond. Not much beyond one octave there. "Where it began, I can't begin to know,......Sweet Caroline" and the audience goes - bah, bah, bah "Good times never seemed so good" (audience) SO GOOD, SO GOOD....Simon would fall off of his chair.....and Jason would win!

Top 5: Neil Diamond
A- DavidA [2) America]
B+ DavidC [2) All I Really Need Is You]
B+ Syesha [1) Hello Again]
B DavidA [1) Sweet Caroline]
B DavidC [1) I'm Alive]
B Syesha [2) Thank the Lord for the Nighttime]
C+ Brooke [2) I Am I Said]
C+ Jason [1) Forever In Blue Jeans]
C Jason [2) September Morn]
D+ Brooke [1) I'm a Believer]
I love Neal Diamond, but I didn't think this was a terrific night overall. Despite redeeming herself a little with the second song, she still needs to be the next one to go, closely followed by Jason. The Davids and Syesha* are still my Top 3, The Davids the Top 2. After that it gets difficult to pick. *How could Simon possibly think Syesha was the worst tonight??? I just don't get how I'm the only one who thinks she's incredible.

JG, I agree with you. Simon either hates Syesha's guts and wants her to go, or he was trying to get her a bunch of sympathy votes. I think she is really terrific. My daughter, who has taken voice lessons, was especially impressed that she was able to deliver her first performance while seated.
Jason, who has mailed in his performance for weeks now, deserves to go this week, followed by Brooke, leaving the Two Davids and Syesha in the Top Three.

Paula was totally messed up, yeah.  How someone can't stay straight until after a live television program is beyond me. But yeah, she probably had her notes from rehearsal. ("I thought you sang twice"??!!)

I loved her stupid excuse saying that during rehearsals he sang both songs. You couldn't tell that in reality he hadn't sang two songs? I don't know how Idol can go on denouncing the fact she's a drunken lunatic. In somewhat Idol related news, did anyone see the story of the 13 year old boy auditioning for Simon's other show, "Britain's got talent". This is the first time I think someone left Simon with his mouth wide open. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LExJ6oN4hUo&feature=related

I'm a little late here. I didn't see the Tues show, but I saw the Selection show. I do hate to see Brooke go, only because she's cute, affable and honest-humble. She doesn't have the powerful pipes for the big, high notes, but she had a nice style, but not one people would go pay to see or buy her recordings.
Syesha might make it on Broadway, which is probably want she wants. She's a poser and on TV she sounds a little "pitchy". I thought her performance the week before (Andy Lloyd) was a great audition for B'way.
It looks like it will come down to the 2 Davids; they have the talent and the vocals. Jason keeps slipping by. Like Brooke, he doesn't have the big pipes, but he's likeable. Won't sell a record or have a live audience.
I'd still like to know the voting demographics, but I think that will be impossible to obtain.

Sorry, got caught up into Hell's Kitchen and then Last Restaurant Standing marathon... lol  Don't worry, I'm here now to state the truth Top 4 : Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame
A DavidA [Love Me Tender]
B+ DavidC [Baba O'Riley]
B+ Syesha [A Change is Gonna Come]
B+ Syesha [Proud Mary]
B DavidA [Stand By Me]
B- DavidC [Hungry Like the Wolf]
C- Jason [I Shot the Sheriff]
D+ Jason [Mr Tambourine Man]
"A+" is reserved for DA's "Imagine" - there will never be a better Idol performance than that. What's with the Syeshaphobia??! I think she's awesome!  DA deserves to win this, he's always 100%. DC is very close - I love'm - but his first song was standard fare. Baba O'Riley was brilliant, though; but a somewhat awkward arrangement. I'm still lovin' Syesha! Looks and sings like an "American Idol" should! Perhaps the only one. Too bad I'm the only one who thinks so. "Cutey" Jason now simply has to go. He seems bent on losing, so, so be it! BYE! I've never been right in predicting the winner, but, I think DA has been most consistent. An Idol? I don't know. But he'd deserve it. Gotta love DC. An Idol? Eh. More of a band leader, but I wouldn't be disappointed. Syesha! You know I love her. She looks and sounds like an Idol! But doubtful. That leaves Jason, who better be going home this week. And with congrats, of course.
