It would seem odd and a little tedious to announce the history of the song, who's version of who's version is being performed. You guys are being way too critical and maybe a little anal about this. Is it reallyl that important? It's just a talent show--it's not the first and it won't be the last. **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Have you seen the DialIdol numbers?

HOLY CRAP!

David C., David A., and Carly are all “green”, and the bottom three are:

8) Ramiele
9) Jason
10) Chikezie

Anyway, during David's close ups, I swear you could make out residue on his forehead that looked like dried glue, which I'm assuming is used to cement his bangs into place.</P> <P>Also, Jason Castro was sporting a sleazy little mustache that was poking through the pancake makeup -- it made him look like those skinny guys I went to high school with who would wear Copenhagen tin hats and pretend they were driving motorbikes whenever they walked down the hall.</P> The photo of David Cook above doesn’t really show this, but — last night, I watched “AI” in HD (which I usuallly forget is an option, ’cause most reality shows aren’t in HD).

Also, Jason Castro was sporting a sleazy little mustache that was poking through the pancake makeup — it made him look like those skinny guys I went to high school with who would wear Copenhagen tin hats and pretend they were driving motorbikes whenever they walked down the hall.

They're both guilty of being appealing only when they do one type of song--him with his guitar, her with her piano--but I get the sense Castro can't even imagine what it means to arrange a song or to have a band behind him. I think the guy is truly clueless about songwriting and performing and belongs at a beachside bonfire covering "Redemption Song" or "Uncle John's Band". Brooke, on the other hand, has something going on. Her songs aren't particularly daring but I still think she <I>thinks</I> about them. She's got some kind of self-confidence that none of the other contestents have. (In fact, I think it'll be Cook vs Brooke at the end.)</P> I’d have swapped Castro and Brooke in your rankings, Maura.

And then I realized I had thought the line "poor heart aches" was "pool hall aches" and realized my mishearing was better.</P> When Brooke sang ‘Every Breath You Take’ as a love ballad, I kept thinking “Don’t you know what this song is about?” And then I realized I had thought the line “poor heart aches” was “pool hall aches” and realized my mishearing was better.
