    I totally agree with you about David Cook. We didn't see the first three, and often miss at least on of the performances, so I can't say a whole lot about the group overall, except that it seems David Cook is just way ahead of everyone else. I liked Brooke at first, but she is really starting to get on my nerves, I am willing to give her another chance though :). And I have no idea why so many people like David Archuleta. He totally cheeses me out. But that's just me. Also, I can't handle Jason Castro; he's even cheesier than David Archuleta. And he totally botched the lyrics to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" last week and no one said anything! But I whole heartedly, 100% agree with you on David Cook. I am still in awe of his version of Billie Jean! Whoa!

    I get what you're saying about the cheese factor; I do think Jason overdoes it too much of the time, which is why he's fallen off my favorites list. On David Archuleta, though, I think part of it just his youth. The reason I like him is his tone quality - I love that dusky sound. Brooke hasn't topped her "Let It Be," but she's got such a great coffeehouse vibe that sets her apart from everyone else that I can't bear to let her go yet. Hopefully I won't have to! But David Cook for the win, no contest. Except he'd have more freedom to make the record he wants to make if he doesn't win, so maybe I hope he come in second.

    Thanks for getting back to the important stuff.

    btw...who is Mariah Carey?:) I think her last name would be good for a cool kid's name.

    okay, i looked it up, and evidently israel what's his name sings the lyrics that way (wonder why i've never noticed it before?) so the lyric switch up was intentional. still, i don't like that dude. i know what you mean about brooke; we totally loved her until the last two or three weeks. so she may change my mind again. and yes, i think david archuleta is just a really young guy who has terrible taste in music. he could improve with age :) then again, all this comes from me, a huge mariah carey fan. i am not kidding. although i haven't heard anything she's done since, wow, 1997. but at one point, i had all her albums up until then!

    Debbie - :p

    Abby - I did notice the lyric change in Over the Rainbow, but I don't remember how I registered it. I was mostly thinking "ukelele? Really?" Heh, I'll forgive you for being a Mariah Carey fan if you forgive me for having all of Celine Dion's albums until 1998.

    Okay, so I knew about the lyrics switch being legit, and I still really like Jason. I just want to mother him... but I've never understood the Archuleta fanaticism. He's forgettable for me. Love Brooke, but she better step up. And I've never been David C.'s biggest fan, but he does something great every week and I'm starting to have trouble ignoring him. ;0) Syesha can go home even though I can't pin down why I'm not in love. And I'm bummed about Carly... if not really surprised.
