Last week DialIdol had DC as #1 and Archie #2 but ZabaSearch had Archie #1 and DC #2. That is because ZS counts the texts. So for ZS to have DC #1 is really exciting! Of course who knows what will happen next week. I am guessing the Syesha fans will be more likely to vote for Archie than DC. Plus the fact that Archie's style and voice are more suited to the coronation type songs.

I just read an article that said they think the same thing will happen this season that happened in season 2. Archie will win but David Cook (the runner up) will be more successful.

There is no doubt that whatever position David Cook ends up in, HE will be more successful........no doubt.

The studios are up and David C. recorded the Aerosmith song.....I LOVE it, but would have preferred the Roberta Flack song.

David A did "Longer"................I hate to admit it, but it sounds good, because you can't hear him taking breaths.

I haven't listened to Syesha's.

Bummer, I would have LOVED TFTEISYF That was simply gorgeous! Oh well.

The breaths that you mention sky, don't really distract me when David A. sings. It does'nt really surprize me that you can't hear it in a recording.

I would have preferred The first time for DC's recording too, I thought he did a beautiful job on that tune myself.

The look on Simon's face

Firecracker, as a fairly dispassionate observer, I can state quite clearly:

David Cook is going to win American Idol. Let me explain why.

- He's TCO now.
- The Archuletas are self-destructing in a fiery blast of difficult bullcrap. I strongly suspect if they could have seen into the future four weeks ago TPTB would have been bolstering Jason up to take Archie's place in finale, because what's going on now is ugly. They don't want Archie to win anymore.
- All the Dreadheads and Castronauts who have not fallen aside in despair are voting for Cook. That's a BIG group of swing voters.
- Cook's giving Archie a thrashing on Dial Idol.

This one's over. The last suspenseful vote of American Idol 2008 was on Neil Diamond night. The bus came for Jason, the bus has come for Syesha, and next week, the bus is gonna mow Jeff Archuleta down, and it's taking that poor little boy out with him.

This season began beautifully, but it's having a very, very ugly ending. And the only saving grace... is Cook.

Edited to add: OK, I'm letting the kids play on the Wii right now. Gotta ask. What has Fantasia done that's causing such a strong reaction on EVERY message board I'm checking out????

(I don't like Fantasia.)

Abrahammy - Fanty's performance was the biggest WTF?? I have ever seen on AI or maybe any music show! The girl is just plain awful!!

Simon was watching with his jaw dropped and eyes wide open in total disbelief

Look for it on You Tube! You won't believe it!

I so hope you are right Abrahammy and my DC has a fantastic week next week!

I am sorry for Archie for a lot of reasons. But when it comes right down to it I just don't think he is the best performer. I think second place is where he belongs because his voice is great. DC is just more the whole package. Still, I have this feeling that Archie's fans will go into overdrive.

I am happy that The Dreadheads are going to through their votes to DC!

Oh wow! DC's homecoming was just amazing! What a beautiful man and talented man!!! THIS is why I love AI! It brings talent like DC into my life! What joy that young man has brought me this season! God bless him!

For anyone who missed Fanty's performance, or what ever the heck it was!

This woman won American Idol.



She was TCO.



This is how she's turned out. There are no polite words. That was, without question, the worst performance I have ever seen by anybody. Ever.

I KNOW! (tmMonica)

I dunno...I've seen worse (almost every performance from every performer in last season of AI). Not that that is saying much. Plus Scott Fatfuck from Bo Bice's season.
