All I wanted was for Jason C to make the final four. He's getting the Aggie vote, but I think even that is wearing down. He's just not a strong voice. He's musically talented yes, but it's time to go. But don't the top four get a makeover????? I really want to see him without the dreads....he's so handsome/cute.....but whatever......It's his time now.

I'm still rooting for your Aggie, lol. I would like to see him make the top 3, but don't think it will happen. About the dreads, I think they are neat...but getting a little tired of them, it'd be neat to see him without them. He IS a handsome guy. bella tx

Anyone else LIKE Jason/his singing? I do. :) He`s unique and he doesn`t yell. I`m glad Brooke is gone, I haven`t liked her or her singing since day one. it figures she`d put on the big crying show and not be able to do her last song...tsk, tsk! LOL My fav is David C but didn`t like his first song at all.

Replies: (list all replies)

I do, Proz! When he sings, I love listening to his voice...and I am impressed that he doesn't shout or scream (which SO many of the contestants do...the big power vocal thing is really a turn off to me...ie, Syesha most of the time until recently and Carly). He has a very unique voice. I WILL buy his music. The thing that sort of turns me off is how awkward he is when he is anywhere near the camera and he is NOT singing....he just becomes so quirky. However, it doesn't cross over to his performance. bella tx

I do Proz. I like Jason and his mellow style. I think he could make it as an artist. He doesn't have to be a super star-but he could do well. Hey! he could become another Michael Buble! ~~misspm

We were SO afraid last night was going to be another "Chris Daughtry" moment! Chris was eliminated this night, right? I'm pretty sure he was the 5th one. Anyway, we had just heard that next week would be ROCK, and it would totally suck if David Cook was eliminated right before rock week. Yah, that wasn't the case!! :)

I was ready for Brooke to go. I would have rather gotten rid of Jason this week and Brooke next though. I'd love for it to be David C and Syesha as the final 2.

So, here's to hoping Jason goes next, then David A as a "shocker"....no shock to me, but he's popular for *some* reason.

Chris was the fourth one. He was voted off 5/10. Elliott was voted off 5/17 and Katharine McPhee on 5/24, leaving good ol' Taylor Hicks the winner on 5/24. eom

Jason should have gone before Brooke but at least now the drama is mostly gone. Jason has a laid back personality but it comes across as an "I don't care" personality. It appears that David A. will probably win this and it will be a huge mistake. How could anyone disappoint the darling boy? Sorry for the sarcasm but he does nothing for me. If David Cook comes in second I believe it will be a good thing for him. The group number was a mess!

Yep, David A winning would be like Taylor Hicks winning. -- Traci

Where is Taylor anyway?~~sandy

Sandy, he's touring the country playing his harmonica, of course!!! (LOL) /sb

Oh my. It seems like we are going backwards. The Group Number had started to get good since IGB and they really started performing better together. Today it was like the first time they sang together. It was terrible! They were out of sync in movement, the range was too low for some so that either you couldn't hear one of a duo or in Brooke and Syesha's case, a couple of notes in the song-- SONG sung BLUE--and the ones who had a bit of a solo who decided to do their own thing, mostly Archie, were way off in pitch and tempo. Also, David A. turned "Cracklin' Rosie" into another ballad. Can't that kid sing anything else? He's a kid! Doesn't he listen to rock music?! David C. was the only one who did the songs justice, that is when it wasn't too low that you couldn't hear him sing. I feel so bad that Neil Diamond had to witness that.

One thing I have a question about. This is the third (I think) time that they sang a song in the group number medley that was just done by one of the contestants the night before. I realize that the group number must be set up way ahead of time before the contestants decide what song they will sing. So if a song is already set up in the group number, why is it on the song list for the contestants to pick from. That just doesn't make sense when there are so many other songs for them to choose. This also was the third time that Jason started the group number. No one else can do it?

I was glad that Ryan corrected things about last night and said, regarding Paula, that rumors were false. I know she can have her strange moments but this was not one of them. Nigel through them all off by doing this and he screwed up the show by throwing in that sudden change. He should have just left it to critique after both songs. Either that or they should have gone an extra half hour.

Now that my rant is done--I liked the FORD commercial a lot better than last week, Natashia is a lot better than Leona, IMO, and Neil did a great performance! I hate the phone calls but loved the one for Simon from his first crush. That was funny but sweet at the same time. You mean Simon was once 9 years old? LOL!

Eliminations--As soon as I saw Jason come out, I figured he was safe then remembered that Ryan called Chikezie out first and sent him to the stools. So I still had hope. Then Ryan dashed that hope by sending Jason to the couches. Well, then it was easy to figure that it was the two girls together but Ryan never said "The Bottom 2". Later I noticed that Syesha was the top one in the Dial Idol predictions so that could be why Ryan didn't call them the "Bottom 2". It was another thing to fool you. It seems AI is all about tricks this year doesn't it? I had hoped that Syesha would stay and she did. She is really improving. I agree with who went home even though I was hoping it was Jason first.

I hope next week's theme will be much better for the contestants as they will be able to pick something that they actually know.

So sorry. They did not do a song tonight in the group number that was done last night by one of the contestants. I got two of the songs mixed up. But they have done it in the past maybe twice so what I said still goes. ~ eom. Linda

Brooke beat Brooke imo. She never seemed to rally after the earlier weeks in the bottom 3. Either that or she thought being cutesy and emotional would work in her favor, and perhaps it did for a few weeks. I think Brooke will regret how she played this for many years to come. JMHO.

I have to hand it to Syesha, she has fought hard to move up and showed persistence, resilience and growth...good for her!

ITA about Sayesha. With a little coaching, the girl is going to turn out to be an awesome singer. It was my opinion from day 1, that Brooke was a big put on. All that teary eyed emotion was a big act....Brooke

I'm glad that Syesha finally showed her true self and is moving ahead. ~~ bella--I just want to thank you for supporting me in that response topic. I felt better that I didn't do it to waste space. ~ eom. Linda

Good point, Jana. I sort of bought her act in the beginning and then it just started to bore me. If it's real then she doesn't have the right frame of mind for this very tough business. Good singer, but her time was up. You are welcome, Linda. That was just silly, silly. bella tx

It should've been Jason. That's all I'm sayin'.

Also, I noticed Ryan never actually called Brooke and Syesha the bottom 2. Obviously Brooke was the bottom but I wonder if Syesha was actually the next lowest vote getter.

Jennifer - [inside]

Is that is from phone calls we make or something else. I did vote for Syesha lots of times!

I wonder if that had anything to do with Simon saying she may be going home....Jana

Yeah, I know Dial Idol said that, but Dial Idol isn't always accurate. Plus the number was so close to David C. it really could've been either one of them (if it's accurate).
