I still can't predict who will get the overall votes for the final at this time. I do think David Cook has the most overall musical talent and may be the front runner. That is if he lives until the end. David still surprises me. I think he's holding a couple of aces that will surprise us still. I'm now thinking that although Brooke is very well-rounded musically, we've seen her limit. IMO, she's not "Idol". Popularity and image has so much to do with Idol voting, this time it's difficult to predict.

Syesha is wonderful but why do sisters feel the need to do Whitney covers? It hardly ever works. Although she's my personal favorite, but I don't think she will get the votes in the end.

So tonight ... I think Ramiele, Dreds, and Blue Arm will be on the silver chairs this week. Anyone else wanna venture a guess?

Re: April 2....

 All I have to say is that I'm so glad, Ramiele is gone.  She annoyed the sh!t out of me.  

I think Kristi Lee did really good too this week.  So I'm glad she didn't get the boot!  And we all know Brooke wasn't getting eliminated.

 

Can't wait for next week.  I wonder what the theme is.

Re: April 2....

Interesting story here... Brooke apparently lost it during the commercial break immediately after finding out she was in the bottom 3. Also, some general behind the scenes info.

I hate for bad things to happen to people but when Brooke gets the boot, we might witness an Idol meltdown of unprecedented magnitudal proportions.  REALITY TV AT IT'S FINEST!!

Ramielle is out

Very professional that she quickly managed to pull herself together to sing the show out.

 HOw emotional she was over other people leaving, it was expected...I almost giggled in how she was crying almost to the last moment before the music started then pulled herself together to sing.

Re: Ramielle is out

Poor Ramielle.  I can't stand to see a girl cry.  I melt.  I'm putty.  There have been a lot of decisions I've made because it involved a girl crying....

ugh. i want to get into idol....but i just can't. i did really dig the dave navarro *heavy sigh* rockstar series when it was on. the first when they were trying to find a front man for INXS. and the rockstar supernova searching someone to front tommy lee's other band. lukas rossi rocked radiohead's creep! storm large was hot and had killer vocals, as did the inked chick, dilana!

Re: Ramielle is out

I think shes taking a break from music and focusing on theater, but yes she still is in portland. She may still be performing at Dante's, not sure though.

I'm surprised she doesn't have a record deal, acourding to Wiki her single Ladylike debuted at number 5 on Billboards hot singles. The music industry is  just afraid to produce avant-garde acts, no matter how good they are. They would rather destroy themselves by flooding the market with bland cookie cutter Emo, Pop and HipHop.

Re: Ramielle is out

im losing interest this year. no one really blows me away and the stupid bickering between simon and ryan annoys the crap outta me.

I am very interested in the new show coming out, Born to Rock- rockstars kids compete. Could be good- could suck. I'll report back Laughing out loud

 

edit: show is called Rock the Cradle (same difference, haha)

Re: April 2....

 I actually thought that Kristy Lee did really good.  I hope she stays. She's better than Ramiele.  I hate the way Ramiele looks all nervous on wednesday nights.  I hope she gets booted!

My fave is David cook, hands down. He totally awesome...very well rounded and unique. I think Syesha tries too hard and so does Ramiele.  Brook is awesome but not as good as David Cook!  She's definetely not IDOL material.  

I think David Archuleta won't be the American Idol this year, but I'm sure he'll be fine cuz someone will sign him!  Jason "dreds" Castro is good...but he  bores me sometimes.  He'll get signed too. He always sounds the same...kinda mellow with no personality.

 What do you guys think of Michael Johns?  I like him, but definitely not a American Idol.  He seems kinda old fashion to me.  I did LOVE him though when he sang, "Bohemian Rhapsody"!!  He was so good.  I love his accent.

Okay, I put my two cents in!  I can't wait for tonight.  It better be Ramiele that gets the boot.

Re: April 2....

Johns is good.  Very good but a tiny bit dull, IMO.  In another group, I think he could win.  I would pick him over Taylor Hicks.  Then you have to consider who does most of the voting and whether his appeal is greater than anyone else's in this season's group.

Re: April 2....

Im disappointed in David archuleta's seemingly downward spiral on the show. He blew us (me) away the first couple of weeks and now hes just...eh, so-so. David Cook continues to WOW me. I hate Carly, she dresses like a fool and she already had her chance at the music industry, so she needs to take a hike. 

Im thinking castro, ramiel, and possibly syesha will be in the bottom 3.

Re: April 2....

I agree......there's such a purity to Brooke, which makes me like her so stinkin much, bt as you said, she may not be idol material. But this David guy.....man...he makes that music his very own. Of course, I am partial to the dreds kid because, seriously, he looks so so so much like my 17 yo brother.(although i don't think he is idol material either)

I so hope Kristy Lee Cook gets the boot......blech

Re: April 2....

Um.... David Cook copies obscure covers of the songs he does, He admitted to finding them on itunes. The first big offense was when he did Doxology's version of Elenore Rigby and did not credit them, the second time was when he did Day Tripper gave credit to White Snake and people still called him original.

And then there was Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean, before which Ryan Seacrest inaudibly gave the credit to Chris Cornell as the audience screamed like 60's teenyboppers. After he performed the song the judges call him "Original" "Brilliant" and "Amazing" yet he didn't do the right thing and remind the judges that he was doing a cover of a cover.  

But I do give him credit for the last song he did, no one has yet found an obscure cover of Little Sparrow. Maybe he can do something on his own, songs aren't written in stone you know, look at all the different versions artists can do to their own songs. Its not that hard to make a song you're own, I've been playing guitar for a little over a year now and even I can do it.

I think that with David's talent and apparent creativity that he could "one-off" his own cover of almost any original song without copying another group's copy. I'm told they pick these songs well in advance and also there would be time during rehearsals to switch it up some.

On a related note, I think that once someone makes money copying an original song, they are being a bit haughty by getting their ass chapped when someone performs their version of the original they copied. My personal view is that once the orginal song's creators are recognized, copies of copies of copies of copies are fair game.
