I had seen some kind of biography show on her where it said she take a strong medications for an arthritic condition she has or something and it makes her spacey. She said (whatever she had) causes her to be in constant pain. If that's the case I feel sorry for her. Look at what Jerry Lewis went through with all of his meds. I still say it was a weird comment though, and appeared to be pre-written and that makes me wonder about the show in general. However, I'll probably try it again next year, even though this season was very bland to me.
It did seem rather bland to me too with the exception of some singers still being in the running up through the Top Ten or so. Carly Smithson kept it interesting while she was in it.

Too bad the Rock Star shows are no longer going on. These were often a lot more interesting to rock fans than AI has been. These shows were Rock Star: INXS and Rock Star: Supernova. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Star:_INXS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Star:_Supernova

I have heard very little though about the winners of both of these reality shows that were a lot like AI without Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson or Paula Abdul.

Finally,,,I agreed with who was kicked off!!
And we're not far from the finale.

Hopefully, next week Jason will go instead of Syesha. She's SOooo much better.
Then I expect it will get down to the 2 Davids, Cook being my fav,,, Does anyone else think he's looking better lately... His beard and some hair on his forehead helps. He's so pale that seems to give him some color.

As for Paula, She's really been thru alot. Here's a little info I copied;

In response to the controversy generated by her behaviour, Paula Abdul told the media that she has been fighting chronic pain after a cheerleading accident that left her with an injured disc in her neck when she was 17.

After a couple of car crashes and a plane crash in 1992 the pain worsened and led to seizures, bulimia and depression.

Abdul explained that she has had 12 operations.

Paula Abdul said that she had been diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.


I loved Paula in the '80's and think the video she had on AI this season was great!!!

I'm so glad I don't have to be scrutinized like celebrities and politicians. :yikes:
I'd be in trouble all the time...

I wasn't a huge fan of Brooke's talent, but I cried when she was eliminated. She seems like such a genuine person. I think it is inhumane when they kick them off the show and then expect them to sing a goodbye song. David Cook looks like a winner to me, especially now that he has improved his appearance.

I think Paula lives in her own little world. There is just no good explanation for judging a song that hasn't yet been sung. But it is very tough to always be under public scrutiny. As Mint said:

That does seem cruel when they are expected to sing right after they learn they have been kicked off of AI. Most of them though can see it coming with various exceptions like Michael Johns, Melinda Doolittle, Chris Daughtry, Carly Smithson, Jennifer Hudson and Tamyra Gray.

Jennifer Hudson sure showed them though that she can show her talent elsewhere. Thought I saw her in the trailer for Sex in the City?

Tal,
JASON NEEDS TO GO, IMHO!!!!
Mr. Tambourine Man wasn't too terrible tho he forgot the words,
but I Shot the Sheriff was a real tanker...

Thought David A was the best.
Syesha was really good, and I hated that Randy made her cry.
David Cook sang really well, but I wasn't a fan of either of his song choices.


I saw The Reaper (movie). Pretty spooky,,, I thought it was good!

This is the show Reaper that I often watch on Tuesday nights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaper_(TV_series)

Jason Castro would be my choice of who I would like to leave tonight just because Syesha Mercado is so much nicer to look at.

How the votes have been going it will probably be Syesha Mercado though.

I haven't responded to this thread in awhile because for the past few weeks I've realized that no one from this season is going to make a splash. I though they were ALL mediocre at best last night. Jason should go but TAL might be right.

I cannot figure Jason out. He seems to be "walking "through idol as if it were a joke. I think he is trying to prove something but I can't figure out what.
His performances last night were ridiculous, and I agreed with Simon, horrible. You can't forget words at this point in the competition and you have to show more enthusiasm.
It would be a shame if his beautiful eyes and appeal to the teenagers is the reason he continues. I am very concerned for Syeesha, she is improving and was good last night but in danger of being eliminated tonight.
Both Davis's were just okay last night but I think they will be the final 2.

Russ....you got that right ,no one this season is really going to rock the music world.

Syesha Mercado will probably do well on Broadway.

This season though does not have someone who looks like a breakout star like Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, or Fantasia Monique Barrino.

Have not seen much about my favorite from last season's AI-- Melinda Doolittle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Doolittle

Jason, cute as a button, has to go. He's getting worse every week! But, Syesha is getting better every week. Wouldn't it be weird if both Davids cancelled each other out and Syesha won??? Just a thought. David Cook is starting to make all the songs sound the same to me. I just think this entire season is flat and boring. But I keep watching anyway.

Jason seems to go out of his way to pick lousy songs, and his lack of motivation is amazing. He didn't seem to be too bothered when he forgot the words. He acts like he has taken a really strong tranquilizer, well, perhaps he has!

The two Davids are OK, but I don't feel personally drawn to either of them. As Chels said, the season is flat, but I keep watching!

Yahoo...America made the right decision. Now let's see if Syeesha can step up and take on the David's. You go girl!

Jason obviously was expecting to leave. That guy sure is laid back. I think David Cook is going to take it; but baby David A is very huggable. I think it all depends on the songs they choose for the final episodes.
