It's week five, and here are the highlights:
- Paula looked completely nuts. And, when she could have saved it--when she could have said "Oh, by 'second song' I meant David Cook's song, not a second by Jason", she just continued on with her drunken confusion, replying that she thought Jason had sung twice.
- Jason stinks, but all the girls love him. But do they love him enough? I think his time has run out.
- I wonder what AC/DC would think if they saw David Cook wearing an AC jacket and carrying an AC guitar--and singing Neil Diamond! (Also, one has to wonder if the fact that it was just AC--not AC/DC--is because he was referring to himself, David Cook, as DC. If so, that's even dumber than when he wrote "Give Back" on his hand.)
- Brooke did well! And by "well" I don't mean great, but I mean that she didn't look trembling and scared during her first performance, and her second performance was really good!
- Incidentally, Neil Diamond told Brooke to change "New York City" to "Arizona" in I Am, I Said. That's great, but then when she's singing about being in Los Angeles, she says she's "lost between two shores". What's the other shore? Lake Mead?
- David is great and B-O-R-I-N-G. Honestly, does anyone care anymore? For a long time I've said he'd be in the top two, but I don't think so anymore. I think he'll either go in the top three, or be a surprise loss in the top four. BECAUSE NO ONE CARES.
- And Syesha was awesome, and Simon said she's in trouble. He might be on to something: she's always in trouble, even when she does really well. However, Simon's comment at the end of the show--that she might be leaving tomorrow--probably spurred people to vote for her. So, I think she's safe.
- My favorite Neil Diamond lyric: I am, I said/To no one there/And no one heard at all/Not even the chair.
- My second favorite Neil Diamond lyric: Money talks/But it don't sing and dance/And it don't walk.
- Predictions: the bottom two will be Brooke and Jason. And, if there's any justice in the world Jason will go. And, if there isn't any justice, it will be Brooke. And... I'm guessing Jason is gone. Admittedly, this is tainted by my personal preference, but I honestly think it's about 50/50. So, I say Jason.

I'm still betting on David A. to win because
1) he has a fantastic voice,
2) he's cute and teenage girls (including my 14-year-old daughter) get a little hysterical over cute guys, and
3) nobody can text gazillions of votes with more single-minded determination than a slightly hysterical teenage girl.
In Paula's defense, she's in a lot of pain with the injuries she's gotten from all the dancing, and there are nights when I think she's had to take some meds. Just sayin'. But it was pretty funny.
Tonight was just too weird for me. I almost didn't predict anything because it found it hard to care. But you can come see what I said anyway. If you wanna.
The "AC" on David Cook's jacket and guitar is for David's brother Adam.
I hope you're right about David Archuleta being booted early. I'm so over him.
Tristi, I'll agree that Paula's craziness is attributable to her medication. But, I'll also suggest that when you are in a chronic state of drugged-out incoherence, and you choose to not only be a regular on a TV show but be a judge, you are fair game for mockery.
Marta, I agree with you to a point. However, history doesn't seem to point to the dreamy teenage heartthrob as the winner. Last year, Blake Lewis and Chris Richarson were the cute guys, and they came in 2nd and 5th. In season five the hotties were Katherine McPhee and Chris Daughtry, who were 2nd and 4th. (And the real dreamboats, about whom the 13 year old girls are fanatical, lose much earlier: Constantine Maroulis, Ace Young, Michael Johns...)
(Yes, Tristi, I'm calling you a 13 year old.) :)
Hey, I'll take being a thirteen-year-old. I act like it most of the time, anyway.
Ace Young was pretty darned cute. And he was a Mormon, too.
Those talented Mormons . . .
Ace wasn't Mormon--his dad was.
And the results are in and...I was wrong. Dang it. But, I'd said it was 50/50 Brooke or Jason. I picked the wrong one. (And, Syesha was back there. Stupid America.)
Ace wasn't Mormon? Stupid media!
OK so go read my comment on Tristi's blog about this show, because I don't want to repeat myself.
I agree with you about AC/DC, I thought the same thing.
And now I must quote What About Bob....
"There are two kinds of people in this world, the ones that like Neil Diamond, and those that don't." I think this show confirmed for me again that I hate Neil Diamond.
I can't figure out why they won't just admit that Paula is on pain meds. If she's a bit loopy on Lortab or whatever, just say so. (That wouldn't make her an addict.) Just don't make us think she's a nutcase.
And Brooke was robbed because Jason needs to go home so bad!
I hope you don't mind me jumping in here - (I found this on the "frog blog") I'm a die-hard fan, but I can't get anyone in my house to care! (tired of getting the eye-roll...)
Anyway - I was totally with you on the Jason/Brooke thing. I wanted it to be Jason who left, because he's stuck in a rut - everything he does sounds the same, which is becoming frighteningly similar to "Tiny Tim."
I was sad to see Brooke go, but then, she's been showing a lot of strain lately.
I think it's going to come down to the "Duel of the Davids" in the end.
Brooke's my favorite and I can see her having a career for a very long time, so I was sad to see her go although I didn't expect her to win.
As for David A. I don't get it. Yes he an sing, but he's boring.
And I admit to really liking Jason.
Syesha can sing, but I don't get anything from her.
I'm betting on David Cook. Okay, I'm not really betting.
