RE: American Idol
Maybe Syesha vs. Archuleta, but I think Syesha vs. Cook is more likely in the end. At this point, it really doesn't matter anymore.
Does anyone else want to see Ryan voted off??

RE: American Idol
like him or not
and i don't
you gotta give ryan credit
he turned a flakey co-host job
on a start-up talent show
into one mega career
i'd almost bet he outlasts simon
and i don't

RE: American Idol
True, he has done a great job of building a career (and I secretly love the way he says 'THIS... is American Idol')
Simon is far more powerful in the industry, smugness included.
Edit: I can't believe I posted a typo.

RE: American Idol
Yeah, I think it was Simon and another co-creator on the American version. He has certainly capitalized on the television market for this vein of entertainment. I believe the UK version is called 'Pop Idol'.

the way the voting is going
it will probably end up with
archuletta against syesha
which i think would/will
be a farce

You know, it doesn't matter anymore. I'm glad Jason was shown the door, but realistically the best talent has been gone for two weeks.
I thought Syesha did well on both songs, but Archuleta will likely prevail.

RE: American Idol
So Parvati took the cash. I haven't watched it yet, but saw the headline. In a way, I'm happy for her - she really played everyone.
AI tonight, but I think it's going to be crappy anyway.

RE: American Idol
I agree. David Cook has done the best job of making each tune 'his own', as Simon would state, and also has demonstrated excellent vocals from the beginning. Other than Carly, I think he's the best.
It may end up Cook vs. Archuleta in the end. Tonight will be pivotal, maybe

True, he was at the top of his game once again. Like Simon once stated - the outcome would be different if it weren't a popularity contest.

RE: American Idol
From what I have heard about the 2nd and 3rd place guys that were actually good, it's not that bad to not win the idol. Look at Chris Daughtry vs. Whathisname with the gray hair. I don't even remember his name and haven't seen anything or heard anything about him. Daughtry is everywhere, and even got Slash to play on his first album.

the show may be a popularity contest
but when it comes to
music actually being played
the talent wins out
and gets air time
long after the "winner" is
forgotten

RE: American Idol
i think cirie shouldve won survivor, she always made me laugh, and shes so damn smart. She played everyone in both seasons. Parvati is just like she seems, ****ty, but i guess she played well, I cant believe how stupid eric was [:@]

RE: American Idol
Eric was a bonehead, especially after watching Ozzy THEN Jason THEN James being chopped.
I'm just glad Natalie didn't go any further. She was such a hag since the merge, and I just wanted to push her over in the sand [:'(]
Cirie had been good at manipulating others, for sure. She could have pulled it out at the end I guess.
Who is leaving AI tonight? Hmm...
