Well, I've picked my horse for this year's Idol

[soleft]

Which will be the curse of death for her since no one I like ever wins.

Carly Smithson

1. I pick David Cook

It took a few weeks - I hated his white tie look and I'm not really a rocker. But he had me at Hello LOL. Carly's a fine singer, but she seems like she's getting a work out each performance. But, she's my favorite female by far.

[soleft]

3. David Cook is my 2nd choice

I like him better than Daughtry.

[LostinVA]

9. BLASPHEMY!!!

If you say you like him better than my Growly Beardy Bear Bo Bice, I will never talk about "Lost" with you again. EVER!!!!!!*




*Okay, we both know that's an empty threat.

[soleft]

10. No, Bo was one of my favorites

I wanted him to win.

[LostinVA]

19. Me too -- I adored him

I said last night I wished he could have played his guitar during his season.

I measure every performance on AI by his Badlands a Ccapella song.

[distantearlywarning]

41. David Cook rocks my world.

He's not the kind of guy who would normally be my "type". But something about him is just drop-dead sexy. He's my #1 pick this year so far.

My favorite female is a tie between Carly Smithson & Amanda Overmeier.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i like her too and the very young guy

[soleft]

4. Seems like he - David Archuletta is running away with it so far

Last night he was terrible and forget the lyrics and still had 2x as many votes as anyone else.

He's okay. He'll probably win, so I hope one of my 2 favorites makes the finale'. I also like the Joan Jette wannabe - Amanda.

[Zuiderelle]

6. Last night was awful. But he was still awfully cute.

[Zuiderelle]

5. That was a great song for her.

I think she's my pick now too. Definitely won't win the first spot in that case. :(

[soleft]

12. I really wanted Melinda to make to the final last year

Just so I can hear her sing for one more week. So if Carly makes the finale, I'll be happy. I think Archuletta might be unstoppable. To many rapid fans. Not that we here at DU know what that's like.

[flygal]

15. Melinda was robbed!

I like the two finalist but Melinda was hands down the better singer. Her voice was very unique.

[LostinVA]

7. I pick David Cook and Brooke

[soleft]

8. I like Brooke

I think it's because she reminds me of Kate on Lost.

[LostinVA]

11. That would make me NOT like Brooke!!!

[soleft]

13. Whoa, you don't like Kate?

When did THAT happen?

[LostinVA]

20. Wait, I do like Kate, I hate Jack

But, I hate HER when they're together -- the whoel "Jake" thing icks me out.

[soleft]

24. Juliet and Sawyer should hook up

Serve them right.

[LostinVA]

27. OOOOOOOOOO

I could see that happening!

I love Elizabeth Mitchell (as you know), and like Juliet -- the whole "she's really a decent person, but living on the Island and being forced into being an Other has screwed up her moral compass and made her terrified."

[bullwinkle428]

35. YEAH!!! My two favorites!!

[LostinVA]

14. I loathe Kristy Lee Cook with the passion of a thousand burning suns

She should be kicked off, but she won't be. Probably Syesha or David H.

Her butchering of Journey was bad enough... now the Beatles. UGH

And, girlfriend isn't anywhere near as cute as she thinks she is.

[flygal]

16. There is something about her that makes me agree with you

She's pretty but nothing special. I knew a girl like her in high school - perfect features but it just didn't add up to anything unique. She tried modeling and was told as much. And as for singing - she should not have made top 24 much less this far.

[soleft]

17. I read something on another board

about some pic of her floating around where she's singing in front of a confederate flag. I haven't seen it but there's a lot of talk about it.

[LostinVA]

22. It's from her record company music video

You can download it. I'll find the link for you and send it to you -- but it may eb tonight. Or, go to Television Without Pity's AI forum and go into the "Performers" thread -- it'll be there.

[Fran Kubelik]

33. Ha.

Every time she makes the cut and someone at least mildly talented gets booted.... :nuke: I cannot stand her. My favorite among the women left early. I liked Alexandréa.

[Goblinmonger]

39. Hell. Yes.

I have a Hayseed Dixie album of AC/DC covers that are bluegrass versions. I love that CD, so it isn't the style. But what she did to the Beatles last night was criminal. And she sucks. And she does those horrible things with her eyes. And she and the judges do this "let's pretend we discovered that she has this little country thing with her voice and not let on that she had a country album out" bullshit that makes me want to jump through the TV and strangle Randy.

Chekeeze was the goddamned bomb last night.

[BarenakedLady]

18. My favorite won't win.

But he is just so darn adorable that I want to adopt him.

[LostinVA]

23. He'll definitely get a record deal out of it

I told Haruka last night: wouldn't it be cool if he and Brooke were the two finalists? It'll never happen, but having an "Alternative Folk/Pop" AI final would be great. Simon's head would explode!!! And, Paula would be do Oxyed out, there would be no stopping her!!!

[soleft]

25. He reminds me of John Travolta

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Carly and Brooke, Michael and David C are my picks at this point, although Chickeezie is coming on

strong, and I still like Jason and Ramiele too but I think they are maybe longer shots.

[soleft]

26. Chickeezie blew me away last night

If he can do that every week, he'll go pretty far I think.

[LostinVA]

28. He did a good job -- I also LOVED his sweater vest

[Goblinmonger]

40. Hated that stupid watch of his, though.

His song kick, though.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Yep. And he's got a great personality too

[Iggo]

30. Which one's the hottest girl?

That's the one I go for.

[soleft]

31. They've all been voted off

[Iggo]

32. What the...?

Why, I oughta...watch something else, like Beauty & the Geek, or something.

[bullwinkle428]

34. Prior to last night, it was merely an infatuation, but now

I'm just head over heels in love with Brooke White!! Her husband may have a problem with that, however...

[LostinVA]

36. Haruka and I were just saying last night, "We love our Mormon girl"

[bullwinkle428]

37. She really struck me as a special talent, when I saw her

performance of the song "Beautiful" during their Hollywood auditions...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkUFKv5W2a8

Even at age 16...she had a great sense for exactly what her niche was as a performer!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq6mCY8_Ow0&NR=1

[Goblinmonger]

38. I hate her.

I don't know why. And when she started crying last night--it made me hate her even more. Again, I don't know why.
