American Idol Seven, Inspiration Themed Week (Top 8)

[ninjapickle426]

ok i probably seem like a loser cause i JUST found this (love it btw!) but you put brooke as #3 because you just like her, over jason who had the better vocal? i think that was biased (although this may also be biased....) but imo you should judge based on performance, not your fave. im not bashing, i really like your vids. and im def. watching you next season!

[tallderektoronto]

Well thanks, glad you enjoy them. I was not putting my personal choices over better vocals - Castro did well 2 weeks and I mentioned that during those respective weeks : Both "Halleluyah and Travellin Through" we're very nicely done. Thanks for your comments!

[Samarachelle]

Lmao. I can never take your top three seriously. Those three were the WORST of the night (except, maybe replace Michael with Carly).

The ones who did well were David A. and Jason. Syesha was pretty good, and Kristy had quite a comeback.

[tallderektoronto]

lol well that's fine, at least we agree that David A, Jason & Syesha were decent.

[pheonixrisin25]

do you have a top 3 video ? pift

[RhiannanAR]

Hey Derek!! I think maybe what happened is that (Simon especially), wasn't familiar with David Cook's song choice?? How much air play does OLP get in the US? I thought it was great, good performance and a good song choice. I'm also really proud of Kristy Lee. Wasn't a fan of hers in the beginning, but she's really pulled up her bootstraps. The last 3 weeks she's been brilliant!Honestly tho, ever since David H. left I've been teary every week at results.

@tallderektoronto , I am also a david cook fan and as well as michael johns and I think they have "the great talent" and voice! Although for me david c. has better performances before rather than his recent but it was still nice and I also agree with you about michael johns and I think his performance was also great!!I just don't agree with you about brooke. I think she has a nice performance but not great and i agree that she has a wonderful voice but I think she needs to push more style.

[tallderektoronto]

Thanks for the comments, I think Brooke is witin her element but the girl who made me a fan with "Let It be" and "Your So Vain" has lost of a bit of that magic of hers. I hope she finds it and brings it back!

[miknge]

my top is David C and David A. the rest are middle of the pack. bottom are Syesha and Carly. i really like Brooke. but her song is kinda depressing to close the show. she performed last, she should be safe. but she looked so depressed and was abt to cry after the song that i was so worried for her. i think she's fading and Kristy is surpassing her, and that's bad

[tallderektoronto]

Yup, and that is because it's all about the song you select and how you carry it vocally.

[000fifi]

Hmmm...

I think Michael Johns is full of himself. The screaming thing is weird.

And I think the same with David Cook. I think they are the type that if they were to win they would think that they are too good to talk to there fans.

Top 3:

1. David Archuleta

2. Jason Castro

3. Brooke White

[tallderektoronto]

Ahaha, interesting assumption - well, you never know with celebs so you could be right :) for now I'd like to think that they would be nice to us fans ! Thanks for your picks !

[jesseauspitz]

I dont think cook will be in the top 3 anymore

[mystillife]

Interesting comments you've made. I do share the same selection as you've made.

I think David Cook is a consistent single, Michael has idol choice and Brooke has great voice to get through to top 5.

It would be tough match among most of them.

BTW, your review video is Alright..only the opening splashscreen and ending splashsreen...kinda out of place.

Perhaps a black background (with floating white text comments flowing upwards like to those you see in End of movies...etc)

[tallderektoronto]

thanks for your thoughts about Brooke, Mike & David C. About the opening, I like using colour and the end credits do float upwards like the movies.

[justinwalker30]

I used to agree woth you "mystilllife" about Cook, but I now think that he has an appreciation and a kindness about him he is bringing to the table

[mediajunkie29]

I like Seysha #1 #2 David A #3 Carly

[tallderektoronto]

Syesha sang well, but did you really feel any emotion from her performance though ?

[joshlogan1979]

Cook can't have a grand slam every week so considering that I see where your coming from - even on his weaker nights he's still stellar.

[tallderektoronto]

I fully agree A+ comment

[mediajunkie29]

I think Castro should have been your # 3 dude ... but at least you mentioned you great he was tonight :) so your off the hook haha

[megrimlockau]

david cook's lower register was pretty average and unispiring - but he is great when he goes up.

[tallderektoronto]

Really ? Interesting, I like both - thanks for the comment.
