Come ladies, there was a gang of us last season!!

I can not believe Michael has gone out this week -am so and

I'm also enjoying Jason and Brooke. How about anyone else???

I can't believe I clicked and you've told me the result!!!!!!!! I'm away this weekend and haven't watched it yet! Sob!!!!!!!!!!

No more spoilers potatoes!

I'm also watching it! I want David Cook to win. I adore Jason, Brooke is great and I love the young one whose name has just escaped me, but I think that David Cook is a real talent (and I don't particularly like rock!)

ItsPotatoesForYouMyLad · 12/04/2008 19:34

sorry marsy i hate it when people do that - i didn't put it in the title . he was bloody brilliant as well.
did you love david archiletta(sp?) when he forgot his words!!!

I've watched it since the Fantasia year. That was my fav. year and Fantasia's singing made me cry. This year I don't love anyone in particular and I'm annoyed that so many of them are already in the music business.
Did anyone else hate having to endure Cat Deeley last year. It just felt like an intrusion. It was very patronising to the audience to assume we needed her to interpret it for us. Glad they got rid of her. if i had to pick one or 2, then Brooke or David A.

MarsLady · 12/04/2008 19:40

Yes I did! He looked so cute and vulnerable! It's a good year this time though. Last year wasn't all that! Jordin was good though.

I may forgive you once I get over the fact that the gorgeous Michael is out. It's so bloody hard to choose between them though.

Did you like David Cook's version of Hello? What about Eleanor Rigby? (or did I get his Beatles song wrong?). Hello gave me goosebumps as did Billy Jean. Blardy class!

ItsPotatoesForYouMyLad · 12/04/2008 19:47

puffling - there was a unamious hating of cat last year!!
i was never too keen on jordin, but liked blake and chris.

i have liked all david cook's so far. was sure about the way he pronounced 'eleanor' - but liked his version.

there was an audible gasp from the audience when ryan said michael - he was robbed!! - i must admit that i can't imagine a non-american could win it tho' do you think?

Couldn't stand Cat last year, but DH loved her.

I love David Cook, and agree that he is the most talented of the group.

David Archuletta is cute, talented, but too green. He needs to lose his virginity and get his heart broken to develop into a more mature artist...then he;d be great.

Don't understand why the aussie was booted,,,he was really good this week.

Can't stand Kristy Lee - bland, blond, boring. When will she go?

meep · 12/04/2008 20:02

I wish I didn't know that Michael is out - I watch on a Sunday - don't know if I can be bothered to now

ItsPotatoesForYouMyLad · 12/04/2008 20:29

sorry meep again. you've got watch it tho. it's the special idol gives back and well worth a watch. the reaction to the news is gobsmacking too.

OP posts:
Lucycat · 12/04/2008 20:47

oooh yes we're watching it here - great Friday night TV.

I thought Michael was great too - was v I do like Brooke but Carly is my favourite.

apparantely there was a feeling that America didn't want a 'foreigner' to win Idol this year

meep · 12/04/2008 20:50

I think I will now have to like the guy that did the really good version of teh Mchael Jackson song - what is his name? (I do watch every week - just no good with names!)

ash6605 · 12/04/2008 20:55

I am loving Carly,hope she wins.
Haven't really enjoyed it this year,find the majority of them dull and boring-particularly Kristy and I can't stand Brookes constant smiling.
The best American Idol out of all the series' for me has been Chris Daughtry.

Lucycat · 12/04/2008 21:21

oh god yes Chris......

MarsLady · 12/04/2008 21:53

Loved Chris Daughtry and really wanted him to win. Was gutted when he was booted, but his career is the proof of that pudding!

Meep... you mean David Cook. Amazing.

I like Carly but David Cook gives me goosebumps when he sings.

ItsPotatoesForYouMyLad · 12/04/2008 22:56

i don't get carly and find her full arm tattoo very off-putting. sorry. (to quote simon!!!)

I am watching and I am a fan of jason castro (the dreds) and david cook. Whatever happens, david cook has a career. I hate brook (too insincere and trying to hard to be nice). Micheal johns was a shocker. I don't think it was because he was considered a "foreigner", as he lives in the us now. And his getting voted off is considered a big shocker and people are mad as he was far more talented than many of those still there. And carly is still there. Although I thought the week that awful kristy lee cook sang "proud to be an american" was a cheap shot at carly and michael johns.

I will watch on Sunday, I mean later on this evening but why o why is Kirsty Lee still in their she should have gone ages ago ! No talent at all and I don't think she sings country well. I am shocked that Michael John has left but I think he wouldn't have won cos he's not American. I think they want someone rocky to win this year.

morningglory · 13/04/2008 11:08

Kristy is bland and cute....appeals to mant in the "Heartland'.

Forgot about Jason...I like him, tooo, but sometimes get annoyed by his singing style (all the sighing).

ItsPotatoesForYouMyLad · 13/04/2008 11:31

wow cali - not watched it too closely then . we (in england) get the singing on a thursday and results on a friday evening, in the same week you do.
we were also v shocked to see chikeze go, i thought he had many more weeks in him.

OracleInaCoracle · 13/04/2008 11:55

I love David Cook. I think he's fab, agree about Kirsty though, she's just so bland!

OracleInaCoracle · 13/04/2008 11:55

Didn't actually get to watch the singing. Have I missed all the competition repeats now? I saw the charity show and results.
