Elaine Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 How weird was that bit with Ryan addressing the "rumors" about Paula? I know it's mean but we thought that was quite funny.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That WAS weird, dawg. It was like he was scolding America. I tell you, I can't stand that guy. I think one of two right people went home, though I hated to see it. I wish the last 7 or so could have been declared winners and leave it at that. Gone are the days when I yell at the TV the name of the one I want to see booted off the island. Even Syesha has won me over with her new Broadway style. Now it doesn't matter who leaves each week, it's always sad to see them go. I think Jason needs to go next week. And then he can move to Tennessee and I will scrape up an impressive dowry and entice him to marry one of my daughters because he. is. just. so. darn. adorable!! And who doesn't want a son-in-law with dreadlocks? Our family Christmas snapshots would be so cool and distinctive if we had an family member with dreads.

periwinkle Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ryan never said Brooke and Syesha were the bottom two? Just that each contestant was "safe." I'm wondering perhaps if Jason was in the bottom with Brooke, but the show didn't want to go there after Paula's debacle the night before?:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering perhaps if Jason was in the bottom with Brooke, but the show didn't want to go there after Paula's debacle the night before?:001_huh: Waaaahhh. I had company this week and missed both shows. I watched the performances online, but they don't include the judges comments and almost nothing of Ryan's comments so I'm soooo out of the loop What was "Paula's debacle" and what did Ryan say? And what was up with his HAIR??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periwinkle Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't know about Ryan's hair! But on Tuesday, the contestants each sang two songs. The judges weren't supposed to critique them until AFTER their second song; however, Ryan pulled them all out on the stage after the first round of songs and asked for the judges' quick thoughts. Randy gave his, and then Paula started in (trainwreck in progress:D) She went on and commented on both of Jason Castro's songs (which she didn't like and implied he wasn't giving it his all), but he hadn't sung the second one yet!!:001_huh: When someone finally stopped her, she tried to backpedal and say the comments were for David Cook, but that didn't fit. Maybe she was critiquing dress rehearsal?

Dayle in Guatemala Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 we are a week behind in AI here. So last night was the Andrew Lloyd Webber night (who I love!) and I have to say, David Cook was amazing. I have seen all the stuff about Paula messing up on the judging this week in the US. I guess, I don't know what to think. I just remember her so much as a talented dancer and I thought her music was fun in college. It makes me kind of sad for her. And one more thing, my family and I have decided that Simon has gotten a little bit nicer in his answers. He still tells it like it is, but, more often than not, it's done a little bit nicer than before. Kind of freaks me out.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofSeven Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think it started with Ryan's comments re: Paula. Simon was acting like the protective big bro. Then the whole q&a with Simon's first girlfriend...I thought that really softened him. And then when Brooke was singing at the end, he looked genuinely sad for her. He rarely shows emotion during the farewell song. I wonder what got into him last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Does everyone agree that it is time for Jason to go home? I love him, dawg, but that performance last night was cruel. I am still hurtin' from listening to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontier Mom Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have one thing to say about Jason - Thank goodness I have a DVR to fast forward. That was horrendous. What is he thinking?

abbeyej Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Jason just had me *cringing*. Oh, my! I wasn't a Syesha fan at all, until Andrew Lloyd Weber night. She was fabulous then, and has been great every week since. She has really grown on me. Jason, on the other hand, was utterly dreadful that night and every night since then. It's like she finally figured out how to present herself, and she's working like crazy -- he's barely showing up! Surely having pretty eyes isn't a reason to be in the top four?!? I really don't get the David Archuleta appeal. He seems like a sweet kid. I like him for that alone, lol, but I can't imagine ever buying an album. But then, I guess I'm not in the target demographic. ;) David Cook has grown on me steadily from the beginning. I've consistently enjoyed his performances and could imagine buying an album. He's no Chris Daughtry, but I like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him too, but he has just been bad for weeks now! I really liked the other 3 so i do hope Syesha stays this week....her last 2 or 3 weeks she has risen to the challenge and been exceptional. before that i didn't really care for her at all. But i think she was right, she has changed... by the way, even if it was cruel..i loved when simon told Jason he should pack his bags! :lol: He is so right, dawg!

Chris in VA Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Aw, Jason, Jason, Jason. I really felt for him. Just who is advising this kid? I really like him, but it had to hurt yesterday. He just totally blew it, didn't he? I hope he goes home, because he seems like a genuinely nice guy who can sing, but probably wouldn't fit in the American Idol mold, anyway. I feel so bad for him!

abbeyej Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Aw, Jason, Jason, Jason.I really felt for him. Just who is advising this kid? From some of the comments lately, I've gotten the idea that he's just not *taking* *any* advice that comes his way. He seems to think he can ignore all counsel and continue to coast through. It's too bad -- I enjoyed him early on -- but now I think he should just go home to his bong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that Syesha really hit her stride on Andrew Lloyd Webber week. I really hadn't cared much for her, one way or the other, until then. But, I think she is working her guts out, and doing a great job!! But, from what I have read about Jason.....there is no bong. He is (from what I have read) a Christian boy who is just in way over his head!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I'm kind of mad at American Idol right now for sucking the will to live out of Jason. He totally wants to go home. He actually said as much in an Entertainment Weekly interview last week, in fact. I think he "forgot" the words last night on purpose. He's NEVER forgotten lyrics before (ahem. unlike David Archaleta, who screws his up constantly and never gets called on it by the judges), and, really, who remembers every word to Mr. Tambourine Man except for "jingle jangle morning"? Ah well--I hope he gets to leave tonight and then goes off and makes an album with Rick Rubin or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomofSeven Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 and managed to get all A's. Always came to school late, but the teachers still loved him. I think it's been his Aggie comrades from Texas A&M that have kept him in the game. BTW, the rumors of him being a strong CHristian are true...he even lead a Bible study among several Idol contestants at the beginning. David Archuletta is so boring...what is the deal with Randy always gushing over him. He's a great singer, but as I say every week, there's just no "it" factor. He reminds me of a Monchhichi monkey doll. David Cook is definitely the most artistic. Although I didn't think much of his first song last night, I thought the second one was amazing. He can sing anything. I can't wait to buy his album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy a David Cook album...and as for Jason...only if he sang like he did when he sang Alleluia. Since then, it has been harder and harder to listen to him. So, since I have never seen or read any interviews..I just watch Idol and hang out here...how has Idol beaten him down? has he said what they are doing? or is it an attitude from all the people around him?
