Top 12 perform tonight at 8/7 central!

Sorry you guys for being so late. School is a mess right now.

Performances haven't blown me away yet. I'm still wating for David A. Oddly, the Davids are my fav three.

I liked Jason C's performance! I thought they were too hard on him. David A. has the pimp spot for the second time..... yeah.

howmuchforhappy · 03-11-2008, 07:01 PM

He may have gotten the pimp spot... but they tore him apart.

collide · 03-11-2008, 07:08 PM

He did forget the lyrics 3 times, but it's not like the first time this has happened.

I felt so bad for David A.

He is knew it going to be bad from the beginning. I just hope he does better next week.

rummagingforanswers · 03-11-2008, 07:18 PM

David A. was horrendous this week. Just...ughh. I felt uncomfortable just watching him.

I lovelovelove Ramiele but she was just okay tonight. It was pretty, but forgettable. Jason & Brooke were my faves tonight, and Carly was really good (even I have to admit that it was good even though she totally annoys me).

David H. was horrible, too. And Kristy was pretty bad. One of them two & David A. should be in the bottom.

Too bad David A. forgot his lyrics!

LOVED> Brooke and Carly!!!!!!! They're amazing!!!!

Liked> David Cook and Jason Castro

Michael Johns is beginning to irritate me, I loved him since Hollywood week but he is becoming very boring!

Oh my God, David Cook needs to gtfo asap. He basically did the same exact thing he did last week, except with a beatles song. I can't believe the judges loved it, I thought it was horrible!

I can't believe they gave Archie the pimp spot on such a baaad performance? Making sure his fans vote, perhaps? I think this proves that the kid can't do up-tempo songs too well. =/ I feel kinda bad, but not really.

Jason Castro...eh. Not my favorite performance.

I'm not a big fan of Carly but I LOVED That performance, I can admit. It was f'ing awesome.

Ramiele was boring, which is sad. One of my favorite songs. (She totally sang that song for Danny amirite?)

Brooke, awwww I loved it. I love piano and I'm so glad she sang that song. It was amazing, gosh.

Michael Johns is cute.

EXACTLY! He's already showing his Daughtry-esque tendencies. I wanted him off the stage ASAP. That was not good at all, the arrangement did, however, cover up his terrible vocals.

Ramiele was great tonight. I agree that it was a boring arrangement, but the vocals were beautiful. Danny knows who loves him, his BFF Rami.

Brooke did so great. I don't think I've ever not liked one of her performances.

What the hell was up with Kristy? I mean, seriously? Not good at all. I think she's going to get the boot.

I've been saying this for weeks. There's a reason that he's always doing slow tempo songs. His original audition was to "Waiting on the World to Change" which isn't all that up tempo, but it wasn't great, and he forgot the lyrics there as well. He just was a mess this week, and it's about time the judges finally critique him correctly.

Chikezie and Syesha were on the same level for me tonight. Can't stand either. And I felt like Chikezie was whining during the beginning of the song. I'm glad he was more upbeat this week, but it didn't really help him.

I want to marry Michael Johns. That's really all I have to say on him.

As much of a mellow performance that Jason had, I still loved it. That interview before was beyond adorable. I love the way he talks.

I think I might have forgotten some people but I can't remember right now.

***Enigma*** · 03-11-2008, 08:07 PM

Nobody was amazing.

Chikezie did great though. And I floved Jason C. and Brooke.

pinkpretzel · 03-11-2008, 09:13 PM

I'm in the minority, but I don't get the Brooke love. She's so...bland. And I resent it when people say she's the Jason C. of the girls, because I flooove Jason C. Heh.

Mayberry · 03-11-2008, 09:25 PM

I think Brooke is okay in her niche. When she's doing slow songs, she sounds wonderful, but I can't imagine her doing other theme nights, so she may struggle there. Same with Jason Castro.

Carly was my favorite tonight. Most people were good to meh.

David Archuleta's more of a soul singer, and you could tell his heart wasn't in it. Hopefully, he'll grow throughout the process, because I do think he has a true gift.

My opinion about tonight:

Syesha: Okay. Nothing exciting.

Chikezie: Wow, he was great tonight. What a huge surprise. It was a totally different and exciting performance. He definitely moved up on my favorites list. I wonder if he can keep it up?

Ramiele: nice voice, but less than interesting. I did get bored half-way through. She’s so sweet though and looked great.

Jason Castro: He went way down in my estimation when I found out he was from Texas and went to A&M (just kidding). As to the song, it was not my favorite. Good, but not great.

Carlie: Nice. I really enjoyed it and her for the first time really. I always knew she had a great voice, but this time she seemed to put it all out there.

David Cook: Song started off okay, but then he totally rocked. He may be an arrogant fck, but man does he have some stage presence.

Brooke: I loved the piano and the song. She was really good and has a great personality. Could she be anymore genuine?

David Hernandez: Okay. It seemed “karaoke” as they always say.

Amanda: I like her deep voice, but the song was kind of ????

Michael: Nice, but kind of vanilla (sweet but not rememorable). Soo cute though.

Kristy: I’m from Oregon and I don’t even know where Selma is ☺ The country side worked well for her, but was it me or was the song way too fast?

David A: Way too many Davids

Great voice but underwhelming performance.

Best Perfomances Tonight: Chikezie, David C., Carlie, and Brooke.

Worst: Probably Davids H. or A.

Samweed Knightly · 03-11-2008, 10:01 PM

I thought that it was an alright night. I loved Jason and... Jason.

I really think that most of the girls shouldn't even be in this competition. I'm really, really hating the 6 boys 6 girls. It let's so much talent slip through the cracks.

pinkpretzel, So agree with the Brooke thing, I don't get it either. In my mind she's not all that great, and this is the first that I've heard her being the female Jason, and I have to sooo disagree with that.

But who I think is going is Kristy Lee Cook.
