    There was a relatively new Jason Mraz song playing the other day and my wife asked if that was "Jason". I knew she meant Castro (it sounded very much like Jason Castro) but I was still able to answer "yes".

    Michael Johns, by the way, should reform Queen. He'll never be Freddie Mercury, but he signs they're songs well.

    Haha, agree completely about Fergie.

    And EWS, you might be onto something about Michael Johns; however, I think he would be a better fit with INXS instead of that awful guy they got from that reality show.

    Good call, though that song Dirty Vegas was ok and catchy.. but it was no old-school INXS at all

    Yeah dude, Fergie is gross. The only time i've ever thought she looked good was in the video for "my humps". Other than that I think she's nasty.

    Watch out for Leona Lewis when she appears on AI in the coming weeks. Now she is a hot one.

    I have decided after last night not to watch American Idol anymore, at least not until they change their voting system. I'll still keep up with it over the Internet (buddytv has a great page devoted to it) but after the ridiculousness of last night, I can't in good conscience watch that show anymore.

    I agree 100%. Michael was one of the top 2 that could make it in the main stream music industry.

    Michael was not going to win it, he was good, but he just never defined WHO he was.....

    He was my wife's favorite, but I never felt a connection between him and the music he chose at least not on a consistent basis.

    To me, it is still all about David Archuletta and David Cook.

    The rest are just playing for the consolation prize, and if David Archuletta doesn't start picking more popular songs, he could stumble too.

    I mean don't get me wrong - I know and understand that Michael Johns wasn't going to win American Idol - that is pretty much going to be David Archuleta with David Cook having an outside shot. But to see him go before people like Carly, Jason Castro, Syeesha (although I love her) and especially the hideousness that is Kristy Lee Cook or as she likes to be known, "KLC" is an absolute joke and travesty.

    Who's the hot female singer in the Idol gives back episode that dressed in suit and looked like one of those desperate housewives? I'm trying to find the song she sang. Thanks in advance.

    Michael Johns doesn't have the standout quality to succeed in a show like this, yet. Tatoo girl could be gone soon also if she doesn't manage to present her in a unified style from singing to dressing soon.

    That was a desperate housewife.. it was Teri Hatcher. And she kinda killed Carrie Underwood's song (though I guess it wasn't bad for an actress..just sounded like a friend singing karaoke). But it was "Before He Cheats"

    at least Kristy Lee (horrid), Brooke (too much crying, not enough talent), and Syesha (Simon is right..forgettable always) should've been gone first. I could've understood Carly (still has her moments with her voice even if inconsistent) and Jason Castro (young female vote apparently, and he can be really good at times) staying longer than Michael.

    Larry King-esque random observations:

    I sort of kind of like Jason Castro, but to me, he's similar to Blake Lewis in voice quality. Like Blake, his voice is really weak and just not that good. And, like Blake, when Jason sings, rather than actually, y'know, listen to him, I instead spend the time fretting that he's going to f*** up the song and hit a terrible note. Very stressful for me. Plus, he looks EXACTLY like John Travolta in Battlefield Earth (minus the beard), and that's just freaky.

    How Kristy has made it this far, I cannot tell you. I guess it's her good looks. But damn, when she does that "one foot forward squat pose" of hers during EVERY song, she looks like she's about to take a dump or something. And that is NOT sexy at all. Plus, her mannerisms are very robotic (I call her "Kristybot").

    Michael Johns' pained singing voice? Terrible. It's like he's in one of those Keystone "bitter beer face" commercials. Probably did him in.

    I dare you to find a time when Syesha doesn't have on either 1) a scarf or 2) big-ass earrings.

    The less Brooke White speaks, the better. When she opens her big, fat (Evangeline Lilly-like) trap, you know she's gonna end up putting her foot in it. Also, the big, wet, puppy dog eyes she displays when the judges are critiquing her got old after the 3rd week. We get it: you like to cry. This isn't American Cry-dol.

    Carly's husband is going to be the death of her, AI-wise. She ends up losing in a instant all the good will she builds up from singing the hell out of every song when the camera pans to her tattooed freak of a husband in the audience. Which is too bad, really, because she has easily the best voice in the competition.

    Kristy Lee Cook is who "Vote for the worst" is behind, it generally let's them hang on about 3 weeks longer than they should.

    What about David Cook Vescey?
