American Idol-The Last Four

Well, in what has to be the most disappointing season to date for AI, we are down to the final 4...At least the year Taylor won, it was more enjoyable....Anyway..

Live with Ryan. I still think that Seyesha has sung the most difficult songs in this competition and has been given no credit....Tonight they are doing inner rock star...A tribute to the rock and roll hall in fame in Cleveland...I guess they are going to sing two song again tonight..

David Cook...Hungry Like the Wolf....He has his dog tags on and leather..He is such an original rocker...You really cannot hear the music tonight..The mic is up and he sounds horrible.....it was bad and short...6....Randy said it was ok and a solid performance..it was OK..Paula said something so off the mark...Simon said it was good, it was copy cat..He has this smugness that would leave one to believe that the judges have already told him do not worry I am going to fix this for you.

Seyesha....Proud Mary...Good choice for her but it could be good...Looks good, and at the start sounds good...during the slow parts...energetic..once again she is doing a tough song..Not as good as the original but not bad..8...Randy said you showed up and are in the zone..Paula said you look like a star and you are something...Magic happens..Simon said it was a bad version of Tina...

There is something really wrong with the music mix tonight...

Jason....Doing Marley..I shot the Sheriff...In a word strange...Reggae light..weak and it I am just confused..I think not much the music thing...see my mind turned to jelly..4... Randy said dude nothing special about it...Paula said you performed to the audience but I was not crazy about the song...Simon said stand back...it was atrocious all around..arrangement and singing was bad...

David....Its a fun song to me..Stand by me...Acting goofy...Once again he sounds good but the song is just not relevant...You are trying to be a pop idol and you are singing this song..singing to the crowd....8...I just do not understand it...Randy said check it out...you are hot...Paula said the same thing that she said to everyone else...something about eyes tonight...Simon said you could have whistled a song and it would have been better than Jason..struggled at the end but best performance so far......at the end he guffawed and huffed a bit.

David....being phony...Baba O'Rielly...Oh David you are so cool...his wam beard going...once again we see the limits of this posers voice..The sad part is his quasi rock moves coupled by his weak vocals and his wanna be attitude and trailer trash couture...7...Randy said something is different going on and I like it..Paula said nothing..Simon said welcome back..I just do not get this...It is a really lame singer

Seyesha...Oh God Rascal Flats..these punks show up for everything...Sam Cooke..A change is going to come...speaking about the civil rights movement..Calculated....Hard song again...She or Jason are going home tomorrow but I do think it is unfair...she has consistently sung hard songs and performed well...She is on key with this song and she is controlling her vocals like a pro..There is no one except David A that has as strong of a voice in this at this point..He lacks soul..The ending was fantastic....9.5.....Randy said...He did not love it...this thing is soooo fixed....this is the reason why he was a lame journey member wannabe...Paula said something and it was actually right... week after week she performs well and each week they tear her down.she is crying now and it must be frustrating for her because she is one of the best two singers left and she is going to go home. Simon said...I have to be fair..I agree with Paula...He said Randy was wrong and that it was sung very well...Oops she is playing the race card and she does not have to cause she has mad talent and talent always trumps race and professionalism...With the DVR I have been replaying it and you can actually see her heart break in the silence between where Randy gave his lame remarks and Paula standing up and boy oh boy did she start balling...She fought back the tears as long as she could...When Simon said what he said she released, lost control of everything..she knows she is going home tomorrow and its not fair...It must feel so cheap to know that you performed better than everyone else and you are not given the free ride..

Jason....Mr Tambourine Man......He forgot the words at the start..too huffy and puffy but it is not a bad..the best way to describe his performance is singing mono in a stereo world...It was ok 7....short song..Randy said you are not in the zone tonight...Paula said it did not blow me away but you did...Simon said pack your suitcase....

David A..Love me Tender...Goofy...This is pretty good..Safe for him though but he is on key and his pitch is perfect...Lacks emotion but sounded good..9.5...Randy said it was hot and the best performance of the night..Paula said it was fantastic..Simon said you did not beat the others you crushed them...

Recap...David Cook is lame...Seyesha shows range....Castro...A mess..Archuletta solid but not relevant...

Wow. Man, you are SO bitter. What's your problem with David Cook? You said called him a poser with "weak vocals" and a "wanna be attitude and trailer trash couture". I agree that he's a little too affected, and much too in love with himself, and that his humility is as faux as his pretentious little leather jacket. Oh, wait. I've just proved your point. I find that I DO agree with you. He sucks. Almost makes you wish the Australian were still on. Carry on, then, and keep up the very fine work!
