SPOILER

Syesha goes home

than again, not much of a spoiler, I thought she did rather well last night, but not of course as well as the 2 Davids.

David vs David..both never been the bottom 3 or 2, the rocker and the ballad singer, who will win? haha

Whoever is their persons favorite, vote vote vote next week. It is going to be a REALLY close finale.

But as for my favorite GO DAVID COOK!!! YOU ROCK!!

GAHH! I'm sooo sick of peopl saying that David A. will only win because the teens only vote for the cute one.

1. Most teens LIKE that kind of music and are not as much into the oldies.
2. Sure, some teens may vote because he is cute, but does that make the majoritye of the votes? No.
3. Cook is getting votes from older women for being "hot". How come everyone is saying David A. is only getting votes because he's cute and everyone is ignoring the fact that David Cook is getting votes because he is hot?

Hmm... maybe people should think about these points before they conclude David A. is only getting votes because he is cute, while he is really getting votes for being amazingly talented.

I know where you are comeing from, but lets face it, alot of it is true. If it wasn't, Melinda Doolittle would have won American Idol last season and Blake Lewis would have not made it to the finale, and Jordin wouldnt have won. Especial Blake, because alot of teens thought he was hot, even though his vocal ability could not even math Melinda's, yet she got voted off on the TOP 3. No one cant argue she was not good that night, because I personally thought she was amazeing.

David Archuleta is very talented, and I am a David Cook fan nevertheless, but Archuleta can only sing one style, and David Cook proved he can sing more than just rock.

Think about it, would people go for ballads now of days, or rock and alternative? Of course its rock and alternative. Plus no disrespect, David Archuleta only has one tone to his voice.

aruchuleta suxs!

Archuleta fan (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 19:14

HEYY!!! David Archuleta has the most powerful voice out of the two boys left on the show. His singing is awesome and is better than the covers that David Cook steals from other rock artists covers. So stick that in your juice box and suck it.

Jane Moore (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 18:05

whats your problem
you cant say he sucks because
He can sing. far better than I bet you ever would.
Imagine if he was your friend..
And you heard him sing, you wouldnt say, "man, you suck.."
you would be "oh your great!!" "i didnt know you could sing that good"
he's just seventeen and he sings even better than miley cyrus and all those dumb disney kids.
so dont go saying he sucks.
Because his singing talent is not a matter of opinion I think.
I would say its a fact that he can sing.
and not just sing. but sing amazing.

YOU KNOW WHAT MAN........YOU SUCK.
I HEARD YOU WERE GAY. YOU ARE THE FAG.
HE IS TOO INOCENT TO BE ALL OF THAT YOU SAY HE IS. YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE........SO YOU MUST BE WHAT YOU SAY HE IS.
DORK!!

Syesha - Has stayed in competion as she will get the black vote.

David A. Has a fine voice ass kid but has no range and is extremly boring.

David C. Will win.

omfg....that is so racist

un_happy (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 13:19

i think that i'm sooooo boring with your stupid comments.

One blame Archuletha....while the most stupid thing i can said all the while that there's a people saying that Cook and Syesya supposed to be final........

But i'm glad and happy that the vote1.com still choose Archuletha as the most top vote with 55% above compare Cookies just below 30% and syesya deserve the vote at least 20%....

Cook only deliver 20% his performance but gain the highest vote in this pool...while the top class, consistent and nonbeatable constantents Archuletha just 31%...how un-fair.....

For me....Syesya and Archuletha should be in the Grand Final not Cook.... Cook is supposed go long time ago.....just people pity at him because don't want the same thing happen like what happen to Micheal John and Malubay....

TELL YOU ALL WHAT??? ARCHULETHA SURE IS THE REAL SINGER AT THE TOP FORM AND NEXT AMERICAN IDOL 2008...DON'T BELIEVE...92% CONFIRM .........

I think it is better if they send David A. to Disney or nickelodean and David C. be the American idol. I cant wait till david C sing a song that is written for him.

Frustrated (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 10:10

Seems like the producers want the 2 Davids to battle it out because they gave Syesha such a lame song to sing the 3rd round. I must say she did the best anyone could do with it though. As far as vocals are concerned - she should win it hands down. Her range is incredible, and she can sing all kinds of styles of music. Not only that, but she has "stage presence". (Something DA is completely lacking.) No one is giving her the credit she deserves. She could either be the next big broadway star-or the next big R&B star - or the next big pop star - take your pick. She is completely marketable in all of these areas.

As for DA. I find him totally boring. I know exactly what he will sound like each time (which is exactly the same as the time before). No originality, no personality, no stage presence, no star quality. In other words- unmarketable. As for those of you who posted that he should win because he is young - I totally go the opposite way. I feel he is too young and has a lot of growing up and maturing to do. Maybe he'll be ready in 5-10 years, but not now. (Obviously a bunch of teenagers are writing that if they think DC is too old. Oh, to be 25 again.....)

David Cook, on the other hand, has everything DA does not. Any song he's been handed, he's made his own. He is unique, has awesome vocals, and is very, very marketable. I predict he will win. But he & Syesha deserve to be the final two standing.

If Syesha gets the boot over DA, it will be wrong - but at least she will make money wtih her voice in the real world, not DA.

RJ (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 08:48

I was told that the producers picked the last set of songs for the three to sing the other night. It is not surprising to me that Cook was the best. Syesha and David Archuleta did not get near the backup that Cook did. It amazes me how Producers of these reality shows manipulate the outcome. It is so evident.

mmmmyeah (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 09:38

You got hit hard with the stupid stick huh?

1st song set was chosen by the judges
2nd set chosen by contestants
3rd song chosen by Producers

All contestants have 100% free reign over ALL back-up required, vocals, piano, violin, tuba… you name it. If they want to they can make it into spoken word poetry… incase you are not keeping up, they chose all back-up.

The reason the producers chose a song was to make it interesting, and add a challenging dynamic for the contestants.

You people and you conspiracy theories have no end… PERSONALLY I think the show is gov. funded to promote North American values on a global scale while, subliminally calming the nation into not noticing the further decline of the US dollar. Seriously, I heard it from Elvis last night.

animelover009 (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 06:53

-=as usual, david archuleta gave a worthwhile perfomance, actually it's more that worthwhile, he IS the best. But i actually thought, from the moment he said he's gonna sing 'with you' by chris brown that it wouldn't turn out as good as it should have been. this IS to NO offense of chris brown fans and especially david archuleta fans but i think that song is NOT competition material and NOT to be sung at this point in the competition. He is WAY MUCH better than that, i know and we know he can accomplish greater thing. bu even so, what i believe in is not going to change- that david could- AND SHOULD- win american idol. in the music world nowadays, i believe that having someone who gives off an impression of purity and innocence is A GREAT, REFRESHING CHANGE....

though i must admit david cook did sing well, especially 'i don't wanna miss a thing'.....

well anyways good luck and GOD BLESS david archuleta we believe in you and i'm always praying for you......[but i personally believe that even if you won't win-which i doubt- you'll be a big-no, HUGE!!!!- star

LovE ya!!=-

Julio (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 09:52

The guy (DA) can sing, but he can not ROCK! It's nerds vs. rockers in the end. That raspy thing DC does is what makes him "cool", and idolesque. It's true, we will never hear DC singing in an elevator! Just look at the two Davids stand next to one another, especially posture and facials. Compare how they answer Ryan's questions-it's a no brainer! No one said DA can't sing, but what feature makes him an idol? Hopefully we will all find out when (and if) he ever cuts the apron strings from Daddy A! Go Davids, may the real "idol" win!

Julio (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 07:45

David Archuleta will be right up there with Taylor Hicks and Reuben Stoddard. He can sing, but just does not have everything else it takes to be an idol. Just look at his posture and the way he moves, then look at Chris Brown move on You Tube. Maybe he will mature into a Josh Groban type singer-but with Daddy pulling him by the nose, I just don't see him actually selling records!

myb (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 06:23

david archuletta rocks.......and nommater what people sae about him,he deserves to the american ldol of 2008.

Tina (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 00:32

Archeletta has a pure beautiful voice. Cook is too raspy at the wrong times and screams the other times. Cook can sing ok but Archeletta simply said...has a God given talent. I have togive it to Seyeesha for looking absolutely hot tonight...and she has a nice voice and good stage presentation and i think she'll do well as a singer..just not the winner of american idol. Give it up for Archeletta...he is the best singer on the show by far.

Howie Feltershatch (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 05:26

Tina, David Archeletta is just like any other annoying ballid singer, nothing sets him apart. He is a good singer but I can't see hit records coming from this guy.

Samand Benji (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 08:08

You sound like one of the judges. Too bad you don't know real talent when you hear it. David Archeleta has the most pure voice, perfect pitch singer I have ever heard. David Cook should not be the idol. I don't know where the judges are coming from. He scream and yells most of the time. His voice is not polished like David Archeleta plus he is 26 years old and a bar tender,. What kind of American Idol is that? I can't believe David Cook is leading in the # of votes. It should be Syesha and David Archuleta in the last 2. Very disappointed in the predjudice and influence of the judges.

Julio (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 10:39

And you don't know a real "IDOL" when you see one! It's not about pure voice or perfect pitch or looking polished (which is a matter of you opinion). It's about being an AMERICAN IDOL, an idol represents a segment of our American "Pop Culture"! That is why David Cook is leading in the votes. He is "cool", "hip", looks like he fits in the industry. David A is a nice Mormon kid, he has NO social skills or image that fits into American Pop Culture, or an American Idol. Thats OK, he is what he is, and he has a nice voice. He has been over manipulated by a "stage parent", home schooled, and paraded around to various vocal competitions by his Dad since he was 9-including "Star Search" at age 12. At least the others have been in the real world, including the bar tender! The show is not called "Most Polished American Singer", its called "American Idol"! It will all be more clear to you next week!

mmmmyeah (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 08:47

Idiot.

A bartender can't be a winner of American Idol? Somehow you just don't get Democracy huh?

David A. has very good pitch I will at least give you that. So does Cook. He also has a lot better vocal range than David A. The difference is one sings ballads in a low key and the other sings Rock and more of a 'real" sound

Polished vs "raspy" (real)

Some like studio (polished) while others enjoy acoustic sound of a live performance, this does not make one 'better' than the other… just makes them different.

Some people like to see the raw paint and thick brush strokes on a canvas because they believe it to be more "real" more "powerful" and "raw"; others would rather have a digital rendition of the scene where it is polished and you can clearly see all the detail, it's called a photograph.

Neither of these scenario's are any less valid than the other… just different. Most of you people on here could stand to learn to see past your preferences and see things in a different perspective, it would cut down on a lot of your comments that make you look stupid.

im glad i could make you laugh.have a good nite.

louise rivas (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 23:22

shantina yes i was right you are related to barbie. you want david cook so badly. well guess what he doesnt want you.

Shantina Tue, 2008-05-13 23:33

LOL

louise rivas (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 23:08

im glad your observation on the English language is observed by you are you related to barbie how cute. or you must be from England.

Shantina Tue, 2008-05-13 23:02

I just noticed, David Cook's fans seem to be very eloquent and have a good command of the english language. just an observation..

louise rivas (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 22:43

WELL DAVIDA A IS ONLY 17 YRS OLD WHAT IDENTY DID YOU HAVE AT THAT AGE. BUT WE DO NO HE HAS INNOCENCE. AND A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. AND DAVID COOK BELONGS IN A BAR WITH SYESHA ORDERING A DRINK HE IS A BARTENDER. YOUTH AND INNOCENT SHOULD BE WHAT AMERICAN IDOL SHOULD BE ABOUT. AND A PURE VOICE

Bert Cummings (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 05:30

Dont kid yourself. American Idol is about who can sell records. Young davis has an OK voice but nothing sets him apart enough to sell millions of records. Syesha sounds like many other artists in her genre. David Cook is the only one left with Star Potential.

mmmmyeah (not verified) Wed, 2008-05-14 08:19

I personally like Cook, but I think i am open minded and intelligent enough to realize that my opinion on that is biased in that he sings the type of music I enjoy. btw I was completely blown away with Roberta Flack's "the first time…" that David did, I have didn't think he would pull it off as well as he did.

David A. Does not have an "ok" voice, what are you tone deaf? You can say a lot against D.A. the one thing you can't say is that he has an "ok" voice. As for selling records… that's you're opinion and it's about as wrong as it can get. First off nobody sells a million records anymore due to the internet but I get where you are coming from and it's still wrong. David A. is the perfect demographic for singing and selling and will make whomever gets him very wealthy. He's young, he is clean cut and good looking and appeals to a demographic with endless amounts of daddy's money ie "disposable cash".

Syesha… I am left wondering if her negativity that she gets is not somehow racial. Yeah I said it, I pulled the race card! This girl has talent, Can sing, dance and act and gets very little credit for it. She essentailly had to claw her way to the top 3. She's gone tonight and I do feel that Cook and Arch. are marginally better than her… but I emphasize the marginally.

But saying David Cook is the only one left with star potential makes me wonder if you are deaf and blind or you are just infatuated with Mr. Cooks microphone handling skills? Shocked

David Wiliams (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 22:11

David A has no identity, This kid needs to take some time and define himself . To me he is boring to watch I do believe he is a good singer however David Cook constantly has good weeks back to back, he rocks whatever he sings..

David Cook FTW !!!!!

Asian (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 22:16

Do you have one? Otherwise, I'll give one for you for free........hehehe............

louise rivas (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 20:50

david cook is not the best singer he screams alot but david a can carry a beautiful tune with out screaming. he is Young and should win it all

Elora (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 20:41

David's "The first time, ever I saw your face" was breathtaking! It's the first time, since I started watching A.I., that I have ever thought, "I would pay to see this person perform." It brought me to tears. Blessed Be David!~ Elora

melissa t. (not verified) Tue, 2008-05-13 19:42

David A. was amazing as usual. He will for sure be in the top 2 and most likely will win the whole thing.

Syesha was pretty good too, but I don't think she will make the top 2 because of how much better David A. and David C. have been doing.

David C. had a pitchy night and was predictable.. but I'm sure he'll make it to the top 2.
