I can only bring myself to learn their names once they near the end... Only one who sticks in my mind is the guy who apparently was a stripper? Is that David Archuleta? If so, he's the only one who sounds decent to me! No one else this year really sticks out!

My mind must be in the gutter but the use of words "sticks out" with a stripper was just to funny to resist

David Hernandez worked as a stripper at a male strip club

lol, I guess I should have been more careful about the words I chose! He's the one though. =)

My favorite male is David Cook. My favorite female is Brook White.
But I think there are many very talented contestants this time and no contestant that is lacking in talent, like Sanjaya, to take votes from the deserving.

Now that stripper guy is gone, none of the others stick out (sorry, using "stick out" again...) I like Amanda and the blonde hippie chick.

Brooke White seems like a real nice person, and she has a voice that reminds me of a Carly Simon(check spelling). I must be missing something-why is Jason Castro still around??? I checked out voting for the worst, and they are telling folks to vote for Kristy Lee Cook......Heck I thought Kristy is better then Jason.

I was trying to figure if A.I would pick a more rock n roller this year or not?

David Cook & Michael Johns both seem to fit that bill. Did you notice Brooke changed up her hair style this week? The only reason I didn't pick her was because I thought that A.I. voters would not be drawn to her because she seems to be low-key type of person...who knows maybe she can make the top 3 ladies.

[mrbowler]

Just ramblin...I would of liked to have heard more of Kady Malloy or Alaina Whittaker(check spell/name). They both have such raw talent that with some time, experience they both can make a big splash or maybe they already have

Nice Read about Kristy Lee Cook:

The Grants Pass Daily Courier has followed Cook's career, reporting that she got her big break in 1998, when she opened at a nearby music festival for Glen Campbell. That led to a record deal and an album.

Ok-Somebody please explain how Jason is still around-while Carly got voted off. Must be all the young females voting for him-like the judges said "it must be a popularity contest in the voting results this week". Brooke survived even though she forgot words, and had to restart-I don't think anyone has ever won doing that???? With Carly gone-that improved Brooke's chances going forward-only leaves Brooke & Syesha for the ladies, and Syesha was in the bottom two. I wonder which David will be the ultimate winner Cook or Archuleta?

[ethelrose]

good question about which david will win. i think they are both good. I would give David A a slight edge though. what d o you think?

I guess you are correct that David A has a advantage-since all the younger ladies are going to vote for him..he does have such a wonderful voice for his age-I forget the words that Paula said to describe how his voice is just always on. The only way I can see David A not making it to the final two is if Jason somehow takes enough votes away in say a final three with David A, David C, Jason. Of course that would mean that Sayesha would have to get voted out next-I'm sick(not in a good way) of Jason advancing while Carly and Brooke fall before him. Jason has to be one of the worst to ever make it this far-even Sanjaya was knocked off earlier. I'm so tempted to vote for Jason if he makes final 3.

My mind says David A
My heart/gut says David C.

Which one to follow

[jones10021]

I agree, I think it's going to be David A. He'll be able to win over a larger % of the audience. I'm sad about Brook getting voted off, because I think she was original and stayed to her true self. She played piano really well too. My guess is, she does not have that diva look or picture perfect face, that's maybe why she didn't get enough votes.

[mrbowler]

Finally Jason got the boot-I think a investigation would of been warranted if he made it any further with him forgeting the words on one of the songs.

Should be a good battle with the Final 3
