(I have this conversation with people every year... it really bothers me that you can vote as many times as you want!)

I like David A ALOT, I think he is sincere, and it's not an act, but that's just my opinion. I do agree that he'll get lots of teenage girl votes, but when's the last time a "heartthrob" actually won? Never, to my recollection, because they never had the talent to go along with their cuteness (except Chris Daughtry, but that's a whole 'nother story

) I think he has a real chance at winning this year

But as far as his voice, this is the kid that had his vocal cords paralyzed for like a year and could barely speak and not sing at all, that's why his voice is like that

I thought everyone did pretty well last night, despite the judges telling half of them they were "boring."

Am I the only one who enjoyed Brooke's performance of 'Here Comes the Sun'?

I kinda liked her quirky awkwardness.

The one thing that absolutely drives me bonkers is when they put people thru that I have never seen before!! I feel that they stack the competition in favor of those they have profiled cause the audience "knows" them. I was really hoping they would put Kyle, the ones who always wore the ties, thru, I liked him

I wish they would have put Kyle through too, I really liked him

I personally couldn't stand Josiah. He could sing ok, but I got so tired of him crying during every interview. He's living in his car because he got mad at his family and left home. So, to me, that's his choice. And when he said in one interview that he made "every mistake a man could make" I was thinking, dude...you're 19! Believe me, you're going to make a lot more!!

Yep, I didn't think that he deserved to get through either

Anyway, I like Danny. At his first audition I thought he was going to be a joke, but then that voice came out! I was shocked! I think it'll be a good year.

I didn't like Danny at all, I didn't like his attitude and he was very disrespectful to Simon, and I just love Simon

David A just does stuff that makes you smile, I really like him

Yep, that was Kyle

If he was a fantastic singer that would be one thing , but I have been underwhelmed.

Amanda Overmeyer did do better this week, but I have to agree that she is like nails on a chalkboard.

Yep, Danny was bothering me too, and I don't like Amanda either

I think Paula is on drugs

I don't even try to understand her.

I like David Cook too, and the dreadlock guy is Jason, and I just love him.

I have never really liked Jason Castro, I just don't like the way he sings

same with Brooke White, not a bad performance at all, but i just don't like her

Ramielle was VERY boring like the judges said, Kristy Lee Cook was horrible! That beat was waaaaay to fast

D Hernandez really gave me the creeps last night

David Cook is good, but last week was much better for me personally, and Michael Johns sang very well, but just didn't connect with me.

Syesha is, in the words of Simon Cowell, forgettable

I was also very surprised by D Archuleta

I like him a lot but he totally picked the wrong song, and forgetting the lyrics??

I HATE Amanda, I just want her gone!

My favorite girl is Brooke, I really like her voice, I don't really like any of the other girls, Carly is very good though.

And I really like Jason, David A, David Cook,

xocats · Mar 19, 2008

I thought that Danny did great last night and the young girls love him.

Brook is my favorite female.
David Cook, Danny, Jason Castro, my favorite males.

I had a hard time switching between "Dancing with the Stars" and AI last night.
When it rains, it pours.

Psst.... Danny was voted off.

lol, I love your avatar, it looks just like my Garfield, lol. David Cook is still my fav. I like Jason Castro too.

beck4582 · Mar 19, 2008

I really like David Cook now. He rocks! I also really like Brooke. I didn't care for her performance last night, but I do think that she did what she could with the song - it was a bad song choice. Jason Castro is really good, too. I'm not sure who I think is going to be voted off tonight.

AbbysMom · Mar 19, 2008

I'm happy with that!

Moz · Mar 19, 2008

That second call they took was hilarious!

OMG - Ryan comment on Pickler: "some things have grown..." Did you guys hear the snickers in the audience? I took that the wroooong way!

beck4582 · Mar 20, 2008

I was starting to kind of like her.... I don't think she would have lasted much longer, or deserved to, but I think she deserved to be in the top 10 more than Kristy Lee... Oh well. My perdiction is that she'll go next, followed by Shyesha, unless she really steps it up.

whuckleberry · Mar 20, 2008

I didn't mind Amanda, but she was a one-trick pony. She needed to go.

I like David Cook the best. Jason, Carly and Brooke are all good too.

I can't stand David A or Kristy.

I liked her at first a little bit, but her voice got annoying!

kaete · Mar 20, 2008

I'm feeling like Kristy Lee Cook is turning into this season's Sanjaya!

Okay, maybe she's not as bad.... and there's no "crying girl"... but man, how much longer can she survive?

Not much longer, I hope.

She is not as bad as Sanjaya, I am glad she made it to the top ten.

Maybe now she can make enough money to buy back her horse. She is the one who sold one of her horses so she could audition in the first place. So I am hoping she can get her horse back.
