American Idol 2008

OMG Well there went my guy!! He was good, I just dont get it!! That Jason kid drives me nuts, my Dh loves him, and I dont... I dont think what he's singing is very sellable! I want to hear them sing something I like! Im very dissapointed!! Oh well, I guess he was too good for a 100,000 dollar contract anyway... he can do so much better! Especially since we all know he's out there now! Who else thought that he was going to be around longer??

I havent been watching AI as faithfully as I did last year, but Michael was/is my favorite!

I did happen to catch the Idol Gives Back last night though; they really sang some heartfelt songs! My fave of the night was Coldplay's Fix You and Broadway musical Rent's Seasons Of Love.

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
- how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
- In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
- how do you measure a year in the life?

I was shocked! Him and David Cook are favorites of mine. Seriously not impressed this year with who's left....

I guess I'm alone in not being sad that he was voted off. He was my least favorite. There was just something about him that annoyed me. He does have a good voice and I think he will still get a contract and go far. I admit though, I was shocked. I thought it would either be David Cook (I love him but his performance the other night wasn't very good IMO) or Carly. She thought she would be voted off too.

It's kind of like a "Chris Daughtry" moment when everyone is shocked, but look what he did. His career isn't over by a long shot.

There are still a couple out there I like, but for some reason Jason with his dreadlocks just bothers me!! Such a... umm... stoner?? I would hate to have to count the different kinds of bugs in his hair!! Icky!!

I felt bad for him....Ryan Seacrest seemed to be extra mean by mentioning that no one got voted off during Idol Gives Back last year, but that Michael would be going home! He also emphasized how he had the least number of votes....how he'd never been in the bottom 3 before, etc. I don't remember them ever doing that to any one else. No matter what, any contestant deserves better than that....


It was cruel IMO

This season seems unpredictable.....everyone but the 2 Davids have been in the bottom 3.

Based on Tuesday's performance, I would have thought David Cook would have gone home.

Well, the one voted off does have the least number of votes, and Ryan has said that before. BUT, I do agree it was cruel to mention that last year the "loser" was allowed to come back next week. I had forgotten about that until he said that so I thought he would say Michael was safe. That was uncalled for, I agree.

I'm guessing FOX has something else to put in the time slot so they have to get it done without the extra week. :shrug:

I am completely and utterly shocked and disappointed I liked Michael, I didn't think he would win, but he should gave gone farther than this

I was really surprised that he got voted -hopefully he can obtain a record deal.

I was SHOCKED! IMO, Kristy Lee, Syesha, Jason, and Brooke ALL needed to leave before Michael.

Ryan's job is to do what he does....but I didn't like it.

I'm not sad that he's gone. I expected him to get farther than he did, but I was never a big fan. David Cook was awful this week, but he is still my favorite. Kristy Lee was good this week, but still not a huge fan. Still can't stand David A. He is a decent singer, but he's BORING BORING BORING and I would never buy the kind of record he would make. Same with Jason Castro. He's good, but I am not into that kind of music at all.

The only ones I might listen to would be David Cook or Carly.

Hello, this is kluchett'a daughter Nicole.
I have been totally obsessed with American Idol this year. I only watche dthis year and the kelly clarkson year. I agree with the whole Michael johns should not have left this week. I think that Syesha should leave, she has been skidding by for like a month now. I personally think the top 3 is going to be David Archuleta<33 David cook, and Carly Smithson. I was soooo shocked that Michael got sent home. did you see Paula's face? Thats exactly what mine looked like!
I also think syesha should have gone home before Ramiele and Chikezie.
But honestly, I think David Archuleta is going to win it all. Not only does he have an absolutely amazing voice, but all of the 13-17 year old love struck teenage girls [like myself:]] will vote for him allll the time.

:]

I am going to miss Michael Johns. Not only does he sing really good (IMO), but he's absolutely drop dead gorgeous. And who the heck is voting for Syesha? I'm tired of hearing her scream her way through Whitney songs every week. I'd rather watch the rockers any day.

Dreads aren't icky if they are taken care of properly. As far as counting the different types of bugs in his hair? Wow! That just blows my mind.

I don't have dreads but I do know several people who do and they wash their hair and have very good hygiene in general, I might add.
Jason looks like he takes very good care of his hair. I don't care for his singing but I've never questioned that he might have bugs!!

I agree!

When Ryan said that, I had a moment of hope, and thought that they weren't gonna kick anyone off. But then my heart just sank when he said that Michael was going home. You could see a brief moment of hope on Michael's face too, and then his disappointment after Ryan told him his number was up. It just wasn't nice at all IMO..

I think that Michael should be allowed to come back for another chance, just on the principle of the thing..

~KK~

It's Mariah Carey week? I thought it was 'Really Cheesy Ballad' week.

Isn't that the same thing? Ha ha. ALthough let's keep in mind that HARRY NILSSON was the man who orignally wrote and sang, "Without You," and NOBODY should ever attempt to sing that song but him. When Harry sung it, you could picture him writhing around the floor in pain from lost love.
Ohhhh, I'm showing my age again!
David's gonna win!!!
