Feel free to add in your bullets, here are mine:
- It will be interesting to see two Davids battle it out in the finals
- David Cook brought it for “Billie Jean” (I know, it was a mere cover of Chris Cornell’s cover of MJ but the performance was nonetheless brilliant.)
- David Cook brought it again for “Always Be My Baby”
- And yes, I agree with Paula (who was surprisingly lucid) when she said David Cook’s “Always Be My Baby” rendition could already be in a movie soundtrack
- Brooke seems to be a very fun girl. I enjoy seeing her be herself but her singing is borderline ridiculous. Does she aspire to be a Carole King? It ain’t workin.
- Kristy Lee Cook is cute. She’s in the wrong reality tv show. She should join Tyra Bank’s model search show instead.
- I suspect that in real life, Syesha has the personalilty of Rufa Mae Quinto. I think she’s hilariously funny in a good way. But she doesn’t know it.
- I don’t know about you but if among this season’s contestants I’d have to buy a cd of, I’d buy Jason Castro’s but I wouldn’t necessarily vote for him to be the next AI
- Did you also hear Mariah Carey whisper very breathily? Coz I thought I did. Oh she was singing? You call THAT singing?
- Come on, she can’t sing like she used to. She lips her performances most of the time.
- But I gotta admit, she’s a hitmaker.
- Like the guy who did “Pag Nananalo ang Ginebra”
- Ok, she’s some musician. But I’d rather listen to her cd’s than pity her pathetic attempts on live performances. She’s now got, as Kathy Griffin puts it, a crack voice. Not basag ha but crack as in Whitney crack!
- And yes, I know beating Elvis’ record of number one songs in Billborad is some feat. So props to her.
- But she lips! Remember, Milli Vanilli? Or some Vanilla sounding pseudo singer in the 80s?
- David Archuleta can sing. He’s got charisma. I won’t buy his cd.
- But millions of teenage girls, and even the tweens of America will.
- His rendition of “Smoky Mountain Memories” was glorious.
- Carly Smithson is seriously getting offended everytime Simon bitches on her performances. She’s pikon and you can tell coz she can’t hide it well.
- Oh, Jason Castro’s “I Don’t Wanna Cry” is better than what people give it credit for.
- When Simon said, “… we won’t have a lot of laughs tonight” to David Archuleta, he was referring to how the judges make fun of the contestants, I suspect when they’re backstage. David Archuleta’s facial expression while waiting for Simon’s comment after his performances can be best summarized this way, “Please don’t hurt my feelings!” Of course the judges would laugh.
- Will I buy David Cook’s cd? Yes, but just coz. I am still not convinced he can make hits like Kelly (breakup diva) or Carrie (country diva) did.
- Come on, we all know that he’s no Daughtry (senti rocker).
- It was nice to see Elliott Yamin perform this season. Sad to know about his loss. But he is by far the best vocalist the show has EVER had. “A Song For You” and “Home”, still linger very vividly in my head. Vocal masterclass indeed! Too bad his first cd went Pop shit.
- Oh, and please Ramiele does NOT represent Pinoy singing talent AT ALL.
- Maybe Mariah’s next cd will be a collaboration with rockstars doing renditions of her songs while she, Mariah, whispers breathily in the background. Imagine, Eddie Vedder doing a grunge version of “We Belong Together” or Chris Cornell doing “Shake It Off” and to be totally outrageous about it maybe even Daughtry doing, ahem, “Fantasy” or “Dreamlover”. Take your pick! Oh, must insert this, how about Metallica doing a version of “Breakdown”. Coronary, anyone?
- Carrie Underwood’s “Praying For Time” performance was simply awesome.
- I watch too much AI
