i didnt really like the theme tonight...or perhaps the song choices...i found them kind of dull {well mainly david cook's}

i also find it frustrating to have each contestant sing two songs and only be able to sing about 90 seconds of each- it just doesnt give the song enough time to develop, and i find it very short and distracting. oh well!. having said that...
david cook....i think he'll win...he's very good...but i didnt like his song choices tonight...too rock for me, i cant relate at all, and i found them both pretty boring to be honest. his performances were good...i just dont like the songs.
david archuleta...i loved his song choices, both of them. he sang beautifully...he holds a note so tenderly, it's gorgeous. i think he'll be in the final 2 with the other david. my only complaint is that he sounds the same every week, and he makes every song sound the same. but i guess maybe that's consistency, and having a strong sense of himself as a vocalist. i'm not sure yet...he's just lost a little bit of his novelty for me.
syesha i was shocked to see her cry. finally some emotion!. it was a relief. i loved how different the two songs were. she did proud mary really well. her energy was great. her voice is really powerful, but i still get a bit bored as i watch her. i just wonder what's different about her...what will separate her from someone like beyonce or alicia keys....great young girls with great voices.
jason i loved both his song choices, they are some of the best songs in music history and i thought they suited him. i really liked i shot the sheriff, actually, he had a great feel for the song and good energy, but his vocals just didnt stand up. i loved the way he responded to simon though.."i was thinkin' bob marley!! yeah!!!"...awesome moment

i liked hey mr tambourine man too. i didnt think he was as bad as the judges did tonight, actually.
if i think about sitting through an entire concert of any one of these artists, or even through an entire record, i'm just not sure i could do it. david archuleta maybe, because his voice is so pretty. david c. and syesha are undeniably talented, jason is a cool guy, but i dont know, they just dont speak to me personally. to be honest, i am a bit bored with all of them, and a bit bored with the show now that brooke is gone. i know she wasnt the best vocalist, and i may stand alone when i say this, but something is missing without her there.
