When is Lil David going to put that tired jacket back in his closet? Why does David Cook look like AI's producers picked up a plumber and gave him a shopping spree at Urban Outfitters? Why must Syesha do that "I'm a model!" pose?

Bleh.

What Are The "American Idol" Finalists Doing <em>Right Now</em>?]]> http://idolator.com/389065/omg-what-are-the-american-idol-finalists-doing-right-now#c5625185 What I read recently about Idol really makes sense: that they purposely keep contestants on to ensure high ratings. We have a rocker guy for the generic group, the black girl and the teeny bopper guy. We all know Syesha is not better than Michael Johns or Carly Smithson, but we can't have one happy white trio can we? I am the least racist person in the world, but Fox always manages to do something sneaky and this would fall under that category. This is by far the worst season of Idol! Cook's good, but he's not as good as Daughtry. Archuleta's good, except for his wheezy breathing. Syesha's good, but not as good as others. What is this telling us? That we're either surrounding by buffoons who only vote for the "cutest" or Idol's rigged. I think it's both.

He should've stayed in the oven for 3 or 4 more years before he even auditioned.

Syesha will probably embark on a Broadway career any minute now. She's not good enough to win, and maybe I just like her because I like what I could imagine her singing different things in different ways than what she actually sings the way she sings it.

David Cook, out of who's left, gets my support I guess. I'd never buy one of his nu-rock borefest records, but he already seems famous anyway.

She's cute sure but I find her a bit phony and bland. David Cook? I even hate his hair. Little David's ok but he really hasn't had a good performance in weeks.

Who cares who wins, it's a mess...

I agree that she'll likely never be a pop star, but now that Brooke's gone I have to have a girl to root for and Syesha's all that's left!

What Are The "American Idol" Finalists Doing <em>Right Now</em>?]]> http://idolator.com/389065/omg-what-are-the-american-idol-finalists-doing-right-now#c5621097 I thought we were supposed to have a "Songs From The iTunes Top 100" nite this season. Was that maybe supposed to be last week and was swapped out for the Rock-n-Roll HoF thingy?

Also, recall that Top 3 week is the first time we get three songs from each contestant: a judge's pick, a producer's pick, and a contestant's pick. How hard is this week gonna suck?

P.S. I was hoping there would be an Idol post today, because I just got around to seeing Wednesday's show last nite (was busy Wednesday), and I wanted to say that I thought that Bo Bice feat. T-Pain performance was awesome!

I'm disliking. There's a difference. And here's why: Her voice is grating, her sense of self-importance is laughable, and she made her dad hold up his freaking rehab diploma for heartstring-tugging purposes... I mean, come on.

If it were Kristy Lee or Amanda who made the top 3, I'd understand.

Anyway, it makes me all sadpants.

They are driving nails in the coffin of modern music. This glorified star search has got to go. Maura, I am sorry I am cursing, and being generally negative. On the body of crap music being force fed to us now, AI is pretty much the head. I really wish this show had never been made.
