American Idol Update
So Brooke went home tonight on American Idol. The fact that she stuck around as long as she did is a feat unto itself. After forgetting the words on Andrew Lloyd Webber night, I thought she was done for sure.
Other than David Cook, she is the only one who I could see myself actually paying for her music. She was kind and sweet and you could tell that she did not once take the opportunity on American Idol for granted.
I, for one, am tired of David Archuleta. Look, the kid is good, but I am starting to doubt his sincerity. I also think it’s kind of unfair that he got to sing Neil Diamond’s two most memorable hits (the only other argument that could be made is perhaps “I’m a Believer”, which Brooke sang). I’m sure that the others chose their songs for a reason, but it seems an awful lot like the producers are trying to skew the votes in the young dude’s favor (the Taylor Hicks effect).
And Jason Castro. You have made it very far in this competition without very LITTLE range. Now flash that smile at the camera one more time and stumble into just a little more money as you make it further. Same for you, Syeshia. You’re no Fantasia. You’re no Jennifer Hudson even. Lakeisha from last season had a better personality and your creepy baby laugh…it’s a good thing that you’re not doing that anymore because you’re lucky to still be around.
If David Cook does not win this competition, it’s rigged. I don’t know if he’s as good as Daughtry, but he’s better than the rest of those fools left by a landslide. America, you should seriously seek therapy if you stop voting for him. If he doesn’t win, America got it wrong (like two years ago when Taylor Hicks won).

david cook is really good, but he doesn’t even come CLOSE to how good daughtry is or was on that show. The fact that castro did not go home last night is ridiculous. I thought after Brooke’s “nightmare” first performance she was for sure a gonner, but she slightly made up for it with her second performance. castro sucked both songs. he is boring, and he isn’t even THAT likeable. he is a hippie with a decent soft voice. shave off those nasty dreads already! and i think sayesha has battled and fought her way back into this competition. she should have been gone 4-5 weeks ago, but she really has stepped it up. there isn’t a chance in hell she will win, but i give her props for fighting for it. I think she has a really good voice, but she is just boring to watch. archuleta has totally worn on me too. he is just so cheesy, and all his songs sound alike. i know he is totally genuine, but he comes across as totally fake.
next week, i think castro is gone if sayesha can pull off another good performance. if not, it will be sayesha, then castro, then archuleta, and the winner SHOULD be david cook. but then again, America DID vote for taylor hicks to win. good job on that one america. his record contract was pulled a couple months ago because he is AWFUL. just like i have always been saying!
