I always watch American Idol. I cannot believe some of those people that try out. do they really think they can sing? I wish I could sing but I knew early on that I was not given the gift of a golden voice. some of it is funny but sometimes I just feel sorry/embarrassed for the people. There were a few good ones in Texas. I still love Carrie Underwood the best. Who is everyone's favorite idol so far?

I like Underwood too and I am not even a country fan..I lovvvvvvvvve Chris Daughtry too..I loved ones that got booted..ex: Lakisha I thought rocked..she's now in Color Purple on Broadway..I used to love Diana DeGarmo a lot too

Janet, I liked all those people too, of course we have great taste! Lakisha is in Color Purple? How cool. She has a very powerful voice. I am not a country fan either but I just love,love Carrie's voice.
San Diego was pretty good. I was glad the single dad could sing. Plus the Irish girl who made it two years ago but her visa wasn't all set so she had to leave.
Diana DeGarmo is going to be on a show on CMT where they try to make pop/rock stars into country stars. The guy from Twisted Sister and Sisque plus Marcia Brady will be on too.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised by them too. No Cher impersonators yet. It seems like every year there is at least one that sings a Cher song and butchers it. I thought some of the singers sounded good but the judges said no. Oh well.

What does everyone think of the top 24 (now the top 20). I wasn't surprised by the eliminations except for Joanne(?) not sure of her name. I thought she was good enough to stay longer. I really didn't agree with the judges critiques of most people. My favorites so far are the young David and John the Austrialian guy. For the girls so far I like Aisha (again I may have the name wrong) she's the one whose dad died, I also like the girl that sings like Carly Simon (the one they always laugh at because she is so nice). One guy I do not like is Danny. He reminds me too much of Sanjay. Ugh! I hope we don't go through that again.

Does anyone else love David A.? He is such a good singer. I loved his rendition of "Imagine". hard to believe he is only 17. He is my favorite guy so far.

I hope he does too. He just seems to have it all. Exciting that your daughter knows him. Does she go to school with him?

Was anyone else surprised that David Hernandez left? I thought it would be Kristy Lee Cook. I like her but I didn't think her performance was as strong as his. Anyway my favs are still there. the two Davids, the Irish girl, and Brooke.

Actually that was Danny, he annoyed me although his version of Tainted Love was pretty good. David Hernandez is the one they said was a male dancer.

I was shocked to see Carly in the bottom three. I thought her performance was great. I had better start voting. Is that Kristy Lee Cook lucky or what? She is always in the bottom two but manages to hang on. That poor girl that must be so nerve wracking for her.
Anyone else watching?

Down to six. Anyone have a favorite. I really like David Archueletta (sp?) and Brooke. This year I think they are all great. So much better than last year's group.
I did love Jordin Sparks performance two weeks ago. Love that song "No Air". Just wondering if anyone else was watching.

You must love David Cook. He rocks pretty good. He is a good performer but something about him annoys me and I am not sure what it is. Only 5 left. So hard because I actually like all of them at this point. I do think that one of the David's will win. I prefer David Archuletta. Brooke needs to step it up a bit or she will be the next to go!

Just love all the remaining guys at this pt..would be happy if any of em won:)

I think that the two David's will be left standing. I prefer David Archuletta. I would definitely buy a David Cook album but something about him bugs me so I want the younger David to win. I think Syesha will go tonight but I do believe we will be seeing her on Broadway and/or in movies.

Well I was disappointed that David A. did not win. I think David Cook is talented and deserved to be there but my preference was David Archuletta. I am sure they will both have very successful careers.

Although I love Cook's raspy voice and he is a given talent I felt the wrong winner one..David A had a spectacular voice and I am in total shock:(

ugh. archeleta couldn't sing at all! the only reason people liked him is because he's 17

Well maybe to you he couldn't sing, but I love his voice and I would definitely buy his album. When he sang he always put so much feeling into his voice.

maybe it was just his song choices that irritated me. i'm a snobby elitist when it comes to music because i am a singer and performer...to tell you the truth, i didn't like EITHER of them. i think the irish chick was the best by far.
this was the only season of american idol i watched, and i'm not going to bother with it again. unless i audition myself.

Carly was great. She was one of my favorites too. It is fun to hear people's reactions to the singers, how one person can think someone is great and another think the same person is awful. American Idol is the only reality show I watch. I just love to hear new singers and what they can do with song. I will continue to watch because it can be a fun show.
