I think she's pretty! But she could use a brow wax.

I'm still watching this season cause I still love the show. It has been a bit boring but I add it up to the type of songs they have to sing, example - Beatles Week, and what songs they've chosen. To me, this has been the worst year for song choices. David Archuleta singing that song that no one knew for the year the contestants were born or some of the songs Carly, Brooke and Syeesha have been singing. And of course, Kristy. I'm interested to see what they do with Mariah Carey's songs this week, especially the men.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Archeleta is a 1 trick pony. Can he do anything beside ballads?

I've been starting to ask the same question Graycap and he's my favorite.

You might want to invest in some earplugs when you come to Hawaii lol

I got worn out on that version the first time I was here... then imagine my dismay when I went home and I started hearing it there. In my own home! confused It's a beautiful version, but.... ugh. Enough is enough confused


Thing is, these cover versions that they're doing (at least Somewhere OVer the Rainbow and Billie Jean covers) are basically covers of covers. Jason Castro's version of Somewhere... is a cover of someone else's version and David Cook's version of Billie Jean was just like Chris Cornell's version of the song. Can't they even do original remakes? confused



in a week? no. most of them are just singers, they're not professional composers or arrangers. shrug

That Indian dude was Albert Hurtado, it was hilarious. But none of this years contestants can compare to the classic SANJAYA
