david cook is by far the best, carly was the best girl singer, but with her getting the boot it's between cook and archuleta to win it all. brooke, castro, syesha??? give me a break. it's probably best that carly got out now, nothing holding her back. she has a very bright future...
American Idol Season 7
- Thread starter BleedDodgerBlue
- Start date
Stevie D...........What show are you watching?
Cook is the only real performer on this show. Everybody else does as SImon says, "Karaoke".
Cook plays an instrument and takes songs in different directions like others on the show could only dream of doing because they aren't creative enough, or at least they don't have the balls to try...........Every season they say, "Let me hear what you are all about, don't just do what somebody else has already done, let us see the real you." And every season the chicken shits stand there and drub out the same old played out songs with no emotion or adding anything new to them.
That, my friend, is what everybody else sees in Cook.
My only hope is that he does not win, so he isn't ruined by the goofballs at American Idol who will make him record their awful shit. At 29 he needs to get his ass moving, let Archuletta win, he has plenty of years ahead of him to recover. Cook can pave his own path as Daughtry did.

Not sure how you can call Cook creative when he stole all his stuff off of the net. The one show he was in so much heat he had to fess up about it. Does this sound like Cooks version of Billy Jean? I still like him tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MgwAJrfXo&feature=related
It is true about the Billie Jean being done by Chris Cornell, yet nobody else would do a extremely little known version, they would rather play the safe card and do the most popular as they do each week. Did you see what he did on a very difficult week with Andrew Lloyd Webber? Did you see his "Hello" from Lionel Ritchie? I haven't seen that one on the net. Tell one other contestant that has done anything original or ballsy this year?....................Exactly, you don't have to think very long to know there isn't a single one. And for God sakes get rid of Brooke for crying out loud. Send her back to Amish Country.
Agree with Keyser on this one. They are all just doing other people's songs, aren't they? The fact that he goes out and finds versions less-traveled, and he is stealing? Do any of the contestants footnote what version of the song they are singing? Hardly. He has consistently done different and unique versions of songs - far from accepted mainstream versions, and pulls them off - all of them. I continue to be impressed, very impressed, by this kid's selections and performances.
When he did the billy jean, he (or maybe seacrest) even talked about how cornell did it. I don't think he tried to hide that someone did it before.
They have to stop kissing Archuletta's ass, especially Randy (he has a little NAMBLA thing going on there).:scared
He is not that good, especially last night, I thought he butchered those Neil Diamond classics. Every song he sings sounds the same, his voice just seems monotone...

You believe she did that? I actually started rewinding the show thinking i missed the kids second song. I never saw something so ridiculus on live TV in my life. She jumped the shark 6 years ago.
You are right but it was the judges who kept praising Cook like they had no idea and it was Cook who actually created it. Here is Cornell's take on it. Have to give Cornell credit. He handled it pretty well.

Sponge...........I had it on TIVO and I did the same thing. I immediately stopped it and started rewinding it to find out if it jumped a segment or something...............Unbelievable.
The whole thing really looks fixed now. They can say what they want but if Paula mixed up her notes on Cook and Jason then why did she not like Jason's "second" song but she liked Cook? I had always thought the judges were often way off with their comments.:shrug:
Wondering what they will do with the song selections for the final. If they do like in the past with those smarmy Idol-pop songs, then it will probably hurt Cook, and propel Archuleta. I doubt Syesha can crack the two boys hold on this, but hopefully Cook will get a shot to take whatever they give him and make it different than what we've seen in the past for finals - which I doubt.
Seems pretty well set up for Archuleta, if the songs are what they have been in the past.

Interesting comment. I find the contestants to be the best in several seasons, hands down.
