American Idol 2008 [SPOILERS Posted After Friday's Show]

(But she's still no Brooke White) 

I'm sending Molly over to your house to watch this.  She is a HUGE Brooke fan.

Come on over, Molly! 

Oh thank god that awful Ramielle is finally gone. She should have gone ages ago. Now if we could get rid of David Archepellago all would be right in my world.

Oh and TOTALLY agree on David Cook's new hair. OMG SUCH an improvement!

Yeah, David looks a lot better!

Glad Ramiele's gone. I was getting tired of all that hair in her face. I thought Carly was excellent, and I loved Brooke too -- I'm a real Brooke fan. Michael Johns was HOT! I'm starting to like him again!

Well for anyone brave...if you go to my Soundclick page http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6411478 you can hear my entry into the American Idol Songwriting contest called "When I Believe."  It's just me and guitar, and I'm not a singer! So you have to imagine it sung with a big voice and a big production! Oh, and the audience on their feet with their arms up in the air and swaying in time to the music.    Ha!

Well done! It's definitely a very AI-ish sounding song! I think (and hope) you have a shot! The only downside is ... I can't imagine David Cook singing that, but I can sort of hear David Archipelago doing it. Eeek!

I agree - it's a perfect AI song!

That definitely sounds like an AI song.  If David wins, he would no doubt put his own spin on it.  Good luck!

Thank you guys!!! Yes, I figure if David Cook can put a rock spin on Dolly's "Little Sparrow" (which is basically a bluegrass song) then he can probably rock out on anything!

Well, ok...I didn't make it to the top 20 songwriting finalists. Has anyone registered to vote for the songs? I did...there were about 10 that I thought were awful, some that were much better and there was only 1 that I rated a 10. They were ALL fully produced demos...that's my lesson for next time!

Bummer.  But, now you know what to do next year!

Sorry to hear that, Gina. I hope you'll try again next time!

They all sucked but Jason. That's my personal take on last night. In fact they sucked so hard I could barely even stand to listen to most of them. I HATE that I thought Australian boy and David Cook sucked... but they did. David Cook sounded horrid in the low bits (IMHO of course). And David Archipelago MURDERED "Angels" - I cannot believe Simon thought it was OK.

They did suck, didn't they? Except that I have to disagree about Aussie boy. I loved him. I thought he was the only good one! Jason, as always, had me yawning. He wasn't bad, but just boring.

LOL. I thought it was super good. I haven't heard that version - I really want to track it down for a listen.
