YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

David Cook Wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Vs. David

Okay so we all know that I want David Cook to win and I just can't stand David A. Unfortunately, I think that David A had the better night last night and David Cook just had a good night. I LOVED David Cook's first song and I have a lot of respect for him choosing a new song for his last song...I feel like he's treating himself more like an artist at this point and not so much about the competition. I have to give him credit for that.

So I voted last night for David Cook and it didn't take me very long to get through 3-4 times to vote for him so.....although I REALLY want him to win and think he deserves to win I have a feeling that David A won....whatever...I'll still be buying David C's album as soon as it comes out.

Little late with my post but here it goes:

Syesha-you are so cute and fun to watch but I don't think you're Semi-final material

David A- I don't like you but you will probably win with your young female fan base

David Cook- No one comes close....it reminds me of season 1 when there was just kelly clarkson and no one else could hold a candle to her....if you don't win you'll still be fine....sometimes that's the better thing to happen.

I do love the night when the judges choose the songs though...I always find it so interesting.

HAHAHAHAHA David A's Dad is banned

Apparently David A's dad is a super wacko stage dad and he's been banned from rehearsals and backstage.  I hope my link works below.  He was banned from backstage at Star Search too when David was on it.  

Rock Night

Short and sweet:

Jason C you need to go home.  Does he participate in extra curricular activities before he goes on stage man or what?

David Cook is still my man.

Syesha- you made me tear up a tad-she's so proud of herself and has every right to be.

David A- you just don't make me change my mind.  Anyone answer this one for me-how come Melinda was told to stop acting like she was all shocked that she was 'so good' but no one says that to DAvid....it's annoying!  Damn double standard!

I'm going to bed!

Grumpy....OUT!

I can't believe I am defending Paula

Okay- so I slacked off again and didn't watch this past week.  Well, I watched a little bit and then got distracted.  I watched a few of the beginning singers and heard Ryan repeat, a zillion times, that we wouldn't be hearing from the judges until after the second song.  Then I turned it off so I missed the live action of Paula commenting on Jason C on both of his songs and making a fool of herself.  Then I heard it being repeated again, and again, and again.   Even someone at lunch kept saying, "Did you hear about crazy Paula again?" and when I said that I could see where it got confusing I was hushed with a, "No, come on- she is just plain crazy."

My take on things- we have all had crazy periods of time in our life when you don't even know what day of the week it is right?  I'm sure once AI starts up that things just blur for those involved.  On top of that, a lot of times the judges have caught a sneak peek at the contestants during rehearsal at some point in time.  Add to that the fact that Ryan said we wouldn't hear from the judges until after the second song and then he talks to them in between songs-I'm sure they were confused because I would be.  And then add to that the Paula factor.  She is not the most stable person in the world but I honestly think people are being too hard/critical/mean this time around.  

Now, mind you, she shouldn't have been given the mic to clear things up either because that is just asking for trouble.  

So- just wanted to get that off my chest.  Let Paula go on this one please.  I wonder what the theme is this week?

Andrew Llyod Weber is AMAZING!

First of all-I got a kick out of watching him on the show with his quirkiness.  You can always tell a true genius by his/her quirkiness.

Second of all- I LOVE musicals!

Third of all- I LOVE LOVE musicals!

Okay...onto the reviews:

1. Syesha- where have you been girl?  Talk about personality, and WOW!  I would SO see her in a Broadway show...and can I borrow her body and that dress for one day....PLEASE!!!!  As my husband said, "Well, she's certainly not ugly." :)

2.  Jason C- After they announced that he was going to sing "Memory" and went to commercial I said to Bill, "Oh no!  This kid knows NOTHING about musicals and he picked Memory because it's so famous and of course it's like the only song he'll know and it's just going to stink."  Ugh!  Simon got it right- the longest 2 minutes!

3.  Brooke- you're sweet but you need to go home.  Your run is over.  And I agree with Paula- you don't start and stop...not twice in one season and try to get away with it.  I know she truly is a genuine person and I feel mean for saying this, but I'm done with the syrupy sweetness where everything is moving and touching and meaningful.  I don't doubt she truly feels that way- I'm just over it.  Am I mean for saying that?

4. David A- I guess I am eating my words from last week- that was truly amazing.  Loved the version, loved the voice and the singing, still don't want you to win but-well done.

5.  Carly- Thank you Sir Weber for making her change her song.  What was with all the ballads huh?  I LOVED Carly tonight- she was great, she was happy, she was smiling...and she cracked me up with that darn t-shirt!  Can I buy that?  You know it's going to be made into a real one within a week.

6.  David Cook- I LOVED how he didn't try to change it and just showed another side to him.  When he spoke in the beginning about how he grew up doing musical theater I was like, "Oh my goodness, just when I thought I couldn't like you and appreciate you more you say something like that!"  He is so talented to do what he normally does week after week and then to stick to the original and just show off his vocals.....WOW.  Can I preorder his album now?

So...David Cook "will always be my baby"...but nice job Carly, DAvid A and Syesha!  Can every week be Andrew Llyod Weber week?
