Kinetic 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 In fairness to the judges, Archuleta was clearly better tonight, with the exception of the reprise of his dreadful version of "Imagine." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milliondollarchamp 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Hey Show. Daughtry didn't win. That totally made me laugh in the beginning of the show during the first of the stupid boxing montages where they mentioned something about how one of the David's will join the many successful winners of the title.....flash to shots of Kelly Clarkson, DAUGHTRY and Carrie Underwood. They so want to pretend that Taylor didn't happen. DialIdol has predicted that David Cook is goin win they have predicted the winner since Season 4: Carrie vs Bo season. They've been right each season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 I agree, last night, Puke-uletta was the better performer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 OK, I had to watch via Youtubery, and if you discount the Hit Single abortion, then I think Cook should easily be the winner. Unfortunately, you still have the Hit Single, and it of course favours the Archuletas of the world, and based off of that, we're probably getting Archie as the winner and I will honour my vow of not watching American Idol again.

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Have any of the Idol debut songs ever not featured "reaching for the sky" or "achieving your dreams"? Why they bother to force that on the nation escapes me. I thought Cook was better last night. Archuleta's version of "Don't Let the Sun" was well sung, but exactly the same and really he brought nothing to the table with it. And I hate his version of Imagine.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Have any of the Idol debut songs ever not featured "reaching for the sky" or "achieving your dreams"? Probably not. I think that you can put the Idol debut songs on the list of those you'll probably never hear at a strip club. At least until Pickler starts dancing, anyway...

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 I'm assuming that the producers foist those awful inspirational songs on the last two contestants because they own the rights, and thus make more money when it's released as a single. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Well, yes, they've commissioned the songs, but they've thus far had a 33% bona fide hit rate with the songs, so they're gonna keep going with it for a couple more years, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 What the hell? That guy hasn't been relevant in YEARS! Should have made it a WHAM reunion, that woulda sold the show alone. And sadly Pickler is doing well for herself in country music and she has hooked firmly onto the coat tails of Taylor Swift. She's safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 We know, but we've been talking the Kellie Pickler-porn/stripping thing since, well, season 5 - why stop now?

To be honest, hanging around with Taylor Swift I really wouldn't be shocked to see a stripper video. Taylor seems so wild and crazy, I wouldn't be shocked to see MORE pop up about the two of them someday. Plus Katie Webber could be a stripper tomorrow and I'm not sure I'd care.

foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Thank God Archuleta didn't win. I haven't even really followed this season (especially since Brooke was voted off) but I was all for Cook winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milliondollarchamp 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 As soon as Simon apologized, I knew Cook would win. I don't know who stole Carrie's pants, but I am glad they did. She has some great legs She also sang George Michael's song better the George Michael. Brooke sounded great with Graham Nash it looked like she finally got on Zoloft it was nice to see her not having a nervous breakdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 I actually don't think it would have mattered either way. If you look at Daughtrey, it's not like anyone forgets he was on American Idol. I don't think that he benefitted by losing, just from having good catchy pop rock songs written for him, which if Cook gets, he'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all fairness, Katie Webber was the first obscure Idol name that popped into my head. Had I actually thought about it, I'd have probably said that Antonella chick. But Taylor Swift and Pickler in a night vision video together? I'd download it. I don't know who stole Carrie's pants, but I am glad they did. She has some great legs I was thinking the exact opposite. Those chicken legs actually make me kinda depressed... well that and her ass seems to have vanished.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 i was pleasantly surprised, but i can't help thinking cook's career would be better off if he'd finished second or third. Agreed. I think Archuleta would have benefitted immensely by winning, whereas I don't think Cook really needed to. Having his name attached to that insipid songwriting-contest single will only serve to harm his (ahem) rock cred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Eh, if the song tanks (and seeing as how I never heard Jordin's single once after she won, it probably will outside of the Idol diehards) it tanks. The main concern would be if they do a Bo Bice-style neutering on the album... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
