David A. is horrible. Why do the judges keep saying he isso great. He was a mess last week with Neil Diamond's songs and really butchered "love Me Tender". Elvis would be sick if he heard what David A. did to his song. If David A. wins that should be proof that AI is rigged. David C. and Syesha should be in the top two or this show is rigged.

Worst part of tonight: Carlyplant came back to haunt us. She's not even on the show, and yet she still managed to hog the camera, and annoy the hell outta me! Did anyone notice that she started clapping when Simon criticized Syesha?

I would have to say after watching the show, my respect for Jason went up about 10 or 20 notches. The guys has balls and I applaud him for it! I voted my finger off tonight and I hope it pays off.

Go Jason!

Did Jason mouth "Don't vote"? Looked like it to me, although it could have just been "vote" twice. Either way, I got a kick out of that. Fucking love him.

I AM A CASUAL VIEWER OF AI, AND OF THIS SITE. THIS SITE AMUSES ME IN THE WAY THE WANNABE BLACK ATTIRED POETS THAT SKULK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD COFFEE SHOPS AMUSE ME, HOWEVER, I FIND YOUR CYNICISM AND PRETENTION BOTH AMUSING AND A BIT SAD. WHILE THIS SITE IS ALWAYS BITTER AND JADED (HENCE YOUR FAN BASE- YOU CERTAINLY KNOW WHAT IS TRENDY IN AMERICAN CULTURE) YOUR ATTACKS ON THE TEENAGE DAVID ARCHULETA ARE ESPECIALLY GROTESQUE. MAKING FUN OF HIS AWKWARDNESS IS EXPECTED BY YOUR READERS NO DOUBT, BUT I FIND IT VERY SAD THAT CHILD ABUSE HAS BECOME AN AMUSING TOPIC FOR YOUR READERS TO SNICKER OVER. I WORK WITH EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND SEXUALLY ABUSED TEENAGERS, AND I HAVE COME TO EASILY RECOGNIZE ALL THE PERSONALITY TRAITS THAT IDENTIFY A TRAUMATIZED CHILD. DAVID IS A TEXTBOOK CASE, AND HIS AWKWARDNESS AND STRANGELY INNOCENT MANNER ARE QUITE POSSIBLY A RESULT OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA. WHETHER THAT BE THE CASE OR NOT, HE IS A GUILELESS, SWEET NATURED KID WITH A PURE AND LOVELY VOICE- NOT MY CUP OF TEA TO LISTEN TO PERHAPS, BUT HIS TALENT IS CLEAR. lITTLE DAVID IS CLEARLY A BEING ALL BUT INEXPLICABLE TO YOUR FANBASE OF 20 AND 30 SOMETHING "BLOGGERS" WHOSE EASY, INDULGENT CHILDHOODS HAVE SHAPED THEIR CYNICAL DISGUST AND MISTRUST OF ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THEIR OWN LIMITED PERSPECTIVE OF THE WORLD. THE STORM OF HATE THAT HAS FALLEN UPON THE HEAD OF THIS POOR DAMAGED BOY IS VERY TELLING OF THE STATE OF OUR CULTURE, AND THIS SITE IS A FINE EXAMPLE.

FEEL FREE TO VOMIT HATE AND INSULTS UPON ME (BETTER ME THAN THAT POOR HAPLESS KID)IF YOU LIKE- I MAY EVEN COME BACK TO READ YOUR COMMENTS IF I NEED A CHUCKLE. BUT MY HOPE FOR ALL OF YOU IS THAT YOU WILL ONE DAY GROW UP AND INDEED, GROW A SOUL- THERE IS ENOUGH DARKNESS IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT SO MUCH BITTER CYNICISM AND POINTLESS CRUELTY.

A Worster's Plea

Although I respect the founders of this site immensely, I cannot see voting for anybody else at this point. If someone can give me a good argument for the next move we make in this complicated chess match, bring it on! My mind is open, but my gut is saying let's give it up now and bow out gracefully.

casualconcern,

I just watched both of Jason's performances again--he definitely says "Don't vote" after the first one. I studied this pretty carefully. And after the second performace, he mouths "No" while Ryan's reading off his numbers. I would examine more closely the psychological implications of this, but I'm just too damn tired.

All I know is I too, have gained much respect for this strange-looking boy.

I think that overall he's a pretty good kid that's been pushed way too hard to excell at something. He strikes me as one of those kids who showed some aptitude at something and the parents made it their sole purpose in life to make him as great as they percieve him to be. Honestly Castro is probably the only person he can relate to. David Cook does'nt strike me as the big brother/friend type to the kid, and he is probably scared to try and buddy up with Syesha (she's young/hot and he's in his mid teens, so he'd probably never take his eyes off her chest!! Thus killing any conversation), Castro strikes me as the guy that is everyones buddy "Good time Davie" we'll call him!! I'd be willing to bet that he and Castro hit it off and hang out when Daddie Archie is'nt trying to work the puppet strings. Sadley I really think that as soon as he hits 18 he'll quit performing all together because he's sick of it, and then have a hard time doing anything else because he's never done anything but sing. He's got talent and could be very good but I have a feeling that dads pushing (well intentioned or not) is going to ruin this kid in the long run.

Sorry, I meant for that to be a reply to the post about Archuletta taking up for Castro!!

Yanno, there *IS* something to look forward to with little D'Archie...in 5 years time, we can look forward to a Britneyesque meltdown because he is definitely heading that direction. He is already dealing with eating disorders, stage parents, immaturity on a major scale and just think, all that thrown into a martini mixer and shaken (Not stirred), there is every expectation that he derails on his way to becoming the next pop Diva!!!! I can see it already "On TMZ tonight, David Archeletta found wandering Hollywood &; Vine looking for a clue!"
