David Cook's massive forehead survives another week! What alt rock reimagining of a classic song will he loot and pillage and "make his own" next week? Tune in Tuesday, and then stay tuned for an all new Hell's Kitchen where nobody knows how to Cook.

Would the winner of the show want to work with Randy though? And would Simon let them?

Ugh - another week of that vile Aussie jock, O'Planty and Pie-esha... Ramiel was tanking weekly but at least she provided some interesting viewing... At least Castro is still around. His stoner blank stares and bemused answers are the only thing worth watching on this show.

Guys I think there is something fishy with this season of american idol!

I think the performance last night was not live. Watch very carefully the performance of the idols (particularly Ramielle) and compare it to the recap (last part of the show). In the recap Ramiele shook the hands of the audience from left to right which she never did on the actual performance.

I keep on replaying the performance of Ramiele and not once she shook the hands of the audience.

Something is fishy there. VFTW i know you have the power to investigate this. Does this have something to do with Ramiele being booted out?

Hmmm....

Okay; I'm confused here. Why is it I see several people saying there are 7 plants left, or that nearly everyone left is a plant?

David Cook is not a plant. (Seems there is general agreement there.)

But when did Jason Castro or Brooke White become a plant...a former drummer/college student who started singing a few years ago and a freakin' full-time nanny??????

And I'm not so certain Syesha's brief *acting* (one Ford commercial) counts as much *planty*ness. They might be getting pimped; or unjustly allowed to keep singing (torturing) us from week to week, but *plants*?

Come now....that's not even fair. It waters down the TRUE plantiness of Carly, David A. and our very own VTFW pick (for better or worse, apparently).

What in the bloody hell was that group sing tonight? And the Ford commercial? Did they seriously do a Run-DMC song?? Well, since you all hate the "plants" so much, you should at least take comfort in the fact that they will all be soulless shells by the time this show is done turning them into trained monkeys.

OUR Fault....LMAO...Sure, Ok, I voted for who I thought that was the best... in season 2 when my eyes were opened to the bullshit of the producers pushing who they wanted us to accept as their best upon us. Since then...I haven't voted for any of the singers. But, I have enjoyed a lot of the music that I've heard over the years. It's all about the joy to my ears that matter to me. As in real life, some nights are good, and some nights knock your socks off.

I haven't heard a "knock your socks off" preformance yet on this years AI. But, I heard and seen alot of really good preformances. I said it before, I wouldn't pay $65 to $120 american to watch any of these preformers. But I'd sure pay a lot of money to get drunk in a bar and party with any of the singers..Amanda, top of my list. If any of the 2008 idols see this, go out there and do what you want to do.... knock my socks off. Rock and Roll and Blues Rule.

YES LIP GLOSS!!! THATS PERFECT!!!

id actually vote for her. that bitch

Can I get a little info? I know all about Carly, Archie and Kristy being plants. Can someone gimme a quick rundown on where the others came from? I like David Cook the best, for at least he covers decent covers, and didn't give up his guitar per the judges' request.

Also, if Carly turns out to be an undesired winner, does anyone think that Tat-boy will get a prominent guest spot the week it's time for her to go?

Thanks for the awesome recaps, too. 200% better than the steaming pile American calls it's "best" show.

Whopp-Dee-Fuck'n-Doo....Who the fuck is randy anyway ...none of the so called judges are worth a fuck. Who ever heard of Randy or Simon till they were so called judges on AI.? At least Paula did something that was known in America before AI. Far as I care, randy can go back to thumb'n his bass, and simon can go back to whever he crawled out of....just my thoughts, ya know.
