bit spoilery for those who haven't seen tonight's ep, but Ramielle's perf is a bit of a let down compared to last week's....judges didn't like it and she sounded off key....

:slap: nakupu!!! i hope she survives this week though. :pray:

david's performance wasn't that good. he just kept belting out the same note. :slap: or maybe that's just me being tone deaf :lmao: but seriously, i wasn't that impressed.

david archuleta could sing...my only problem with him is that his breathing during the song is kinda distracting...i know he can't help it but it makes me wonder how long before others get distracted too...

ah individual performances! I will watch, then. :think: you want Carrico out? Then how come you ranked him 6th?? :unsure:

Well yeah...but I just based that ranking according to their performances.

Yeah youre right. But I think (and hope) she'll get thru the next round.

baka kinakabahan si Ramielle syempre hindi naman sila lahat sanay sa spotlight

disappointed with ramielle's perf....she needs to stop singing slow songs....she's bordering on boring now...for tom's elimination, i want kristy lee cook to go home...the girl butchered "8 days a week"!

d ba sabi ng judges na mas maganda ke ramiele na slow songs(ballads) na lang kakantahin kasi lumalabas talaga ganda at timbre ng boses niya.

.problema lang daw ke ramiele eh nag aalinlangan cya kung ilalabas ba ng todo ang boses niya o ndi...

hays... makapanuod nga later ...mamaya pa labas d2 sa pinas

Para sakin si David Cook pinakaOK na performance.

Nadownload ko lang live audio performances medyo wala sa tono si Ramiele at medyo nakalimutan yata ni David A yung ibang lyrics ng kanta nya. Hehe. :D

'American Idol' axes first finalist
By ERIN CARLSON, Associated Press Writer 23 minutes ago

A juicy backstory wasn't enough to keep David Hernandez on "American Idol." The 24-year-old ex-stripper from Glendale, Ariz., was dismissed Wednesday, leaving 11 aspiring singers to vie for the "Idol" title and a record contract.

"Honestly, things happen for a reason," Hernandez said before leaving the stage. "I think we all have a plan. ... This isn't it for me."

Hernandez, who sang the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There," made headlines last week after it was revealed to The Associated Press that he worked as a stripper at a Phoenix club with a "mostly male" clientele.

Kristy Lee Cook, a 24-year-old from Selma, Ore., and Syesha Mercado, a 21-year-old from Sarasota, Fla., rounded out the bottom three vote-getters.

Finalists had the opportunity to perform classics from the John Lennon-Paul McCartney songbook this week. The show's producers recently got permission to use songs belonging to Sony/ATV Music Publishing, a company formed by Sony and Michael Jackson.

The standouts were Carly Smithson ("Come Together"), Brooke White ("Let It Be"), David Cook ("Eleanor Rigby") and Chikezie ("She's A Woman").

David Archuleta, whose cover of Lennon's "Imagine" drew heaps of praise two weeks ago, showed that he's merely mortal when he flubbed the lyrics to "We Can Work It Out." That didn't fly with Cowell, who called the 17-year-old's performance "a mess."

Wednesday's show also featured a performance by season-five finalist Katharine McPhee and musician David Foster (on the piano).

CTV NEWS CANADA

SO? anong masama kng dati syang stripper? hehehe

Ang labo!!! bakit si david hernandez?!! dapat si david archuleta ung natangal o kaya kristy or (ramiele) joke! :D

I tell you, kahit ano pang klaseng pagkakalat ni Archuleta hindi sya maaalis. He has a solid and established fanbase. Kung maganda performance nya, then a lot will vote. Kung pangit naman, magpapanic voting ang fans nya. He's just waiting to be crowned.

I heard Kristy also has a solid fanbase, kaya safe sya this week.

ANOTHER TRIVIA ON TOP 12 ..

David Archuleta
In 2003, at the age of 12, he sang on several episodes of the television show Star Search.[9] On one episode, he competed against Alexandréa Lushington, who was a fellow semi-finalist this season.

WOOO SHOOOO.. Lots of pro.. or recycled artist..

I tell you, kahit ano pang klaseng pagkakalat ni Archuleta hindi sya maaalis. He has a solid and established fanbase. Kung maganda performance nya, then a lot will vote. Kung pangit naman, magpapanic voting ang fans nya. He's just waiting to be crowned.

I heard Kristy also has a solid fanbase, kaya safe sya this week.

Un lang dahil sa popularity... but if we base it on TALENT? nkakalimutan ni DA ung lyrics ng kanta? diba nga sa elimination eh
wala na agad yun! yun ang malabo sakin...

SO? anong masama kng dati syang stripper? hehehe



reply poh...wala ngang masama dun,sa pagiging stripper nya..kapakanan nung show ung ang pinoprotektahan nila..:peace:

Sa elims kahit nakakalimutan ang lyrics, may mga nakakapasok pa rin given na maganda talaga boses nila.

Talent kamo? Meron si David A nun IMO. Nakalimot lang sya ng lyrics, yun lang. Hehe.

You have to understand that starting from the Top 24 stage, its all about popularity. Kung malabo pa rin sayo, look at Sanjaya from last season. Talent wise, I would say mas magaling si AJ Tabaldo. Pero sino nakapask ng top 12? Si Sanjaya.

Kung over-all talent pag-uusapan, I would say di dapat nanalo si Taylor Hicks, dapat si Chris Daughtry o si Katharine McPhee. Hindi rin sana umabot sa Top 3 si Jasmine Trias at dapat si LaToya ang nakapasok sa Top 3. :D Masakit man sa damdamin, pero tingin ko talaga hindi maaalis (ng maaga) si David A. :D

reply poh...wala ngang masama dun,sa pagiging stripper nya..kapakanan nung show ung ang pinoprotektahan nila..:peace:

The manager of the club, Gordy Bryan, told the news service on Monday that Glendale, Arizona, native Hernandez had performed fully nude and gave lap dances to the club's mostly male clientele.

"He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here," Bryan said.

A spokesperson for the show declined MTV News' request for comment on the report, but a "person close to the show, who is not authorized to comment publicly and asked not to be identified" told the AP Tuesday (March 4) that the show has no plans to remove Hernandez from the competition.

sabagay may tama ka dun.. pero iba si sanjaya malakas tlaga dating nya kesa kay david A.
tlgang inaabangan style nya every week... heheh
pero sa performance nun ok naman si DH kng i compara naman tlaga kay DA... pero wla eh!

well, kanya knyang opinion lng tlga.. para sakin the best tlga si anwar robinson..

wow, heavy discussions na ha... :giggle: i didn't get to watch last season :sigh: but it's true that it's all up to the fans, whether the singer has talent or not... which is frustrating sometimes, but we all have our favorites :thumbsup:

FYI: David Archuleta has competed with Mark Mejia and another American girl for an automatic finals slot in Star Search 6 years ago. David lost to Pinoy Mark Mejia. :D

He also has competed in the same contest against a fellow AI top 24 finalist, Alexandria Lushington. :D

iTunes top 100 is the rumored theme for next week, really excited on that one. :D

boyti... honga, i wonder what they're gonna be singing :naughty: :excited: na ko

i think it's still Beatles week next...heard Ryan said something about it ...

Amanda Overmyer - “Back in the U.S.S.R.”
Kristy Lee Cook - “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”
David Archuleta - “Long and Winding Road”
Michael Johns - “A Day in the Life”
Brooke White - “Here Comes the Sun”
David Cook - “Day Tripper”
Carly Smithson - “Blackbird”
Jason Castro - “Michelle”
Syesha Mercado - “Yesterday”
Chikezie - “I’ve Just Seen A Face”
Ramiele Malubay - “I Should Have Known Better” (Watch Here (http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id=292e7ff5-0041-48d7-9499-391163d9ac8a))

By Ken Barnes, USA TODAY

And in the end, the performances the Idols made weren't quite equal to the songs they chose.

A second week of Beatles songs, expanded to allow George Harrison (and, theoretically, Ringo Starr) compositions, brought out adventurous choices that didn't quite work (Kristy Lee Cook's You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, Chikezie's eccentric I Just Saw a Face, Michael Johns' gutsy and ambitious A Day in the Life) and safe selections that lacked spark (Amanda Overmyer's utterly predictable bar-band run-through of Back in the USSR; David Archuleta's bland Long and Winding Road and Jason Castro's even blander Michelle).

But the singer most clearly lacking in Beatle juice was David Cook, who sang a ponderous, talkbox-aided version of Day Tripper (credited to Whitesnake) as if he were single-handedly trying to bring back bad '70s arena rock.

Most fun? Probably Ramiele Malubay's unpretentious I Should Have Known Better.

David Archuleta leads the voting BY A MILE....it doesn't matter kung makalimutan man nya ung lyrics or wala tayong marinig sa kanya kungdi ung paghinga nya kc consistent sya sa top[voting wise]...little girls love him, mommies want to squish him while people in between respect the fact that he could carry a tune and he knows how to perform...that's why America loves him...and with the amount of pimping AI is giving him, parang #2 slot na lang sa finale ang pinaglalabanan dito...

as for the beatles, i think one week should have been enough...tska they always say naman na wrong song choices hurt these contestants without mentioning na ang AI din naman ang nagpipick na songs for them to sing...tsk tsk tsk...

next week yata are "songs from the year they were born"...not sure lang....confirm ko pa

@noname...yun nga e. the issue is about song choice.

Ans: hehehe oo. kakabwiset ung baklang yun! :lol:

'American Idol' cuts another contestant
By ERIN CARLSON, Associated Press

Uneasy lies Chikezie, who won't wear the crown. The one-name singer -- who previously worked security at Los Angeles International Airport -- was eliminated from "American Idol" as the show narrowed the competition to nine finalists.

Chikezie, 22, of Inglewood, Calif., injected the singing contest with enthusiasm and soul. His performances could be risky and kinetic, as when he sang the Beatles' "She's A Woman," or safe and retro, as seen in his earlier rendition of "More Today than Yesterday."

Simon Cowell criticized Chikezie for singing the ballad "If Only for One Night" on Tuesday's performance show:

The other lowest vote-getters were Jason Castro and Syesha Mercado.

Tattooed finalist Carly Smithson took a moment to address speculation she's expecting a child with her husband. She told host Ryan Seacrest: "Apparently I'm pregnant -- but I'm not."

Wednesday's show also featured a performance by "Idol" also-ran Kimberley Locke, who placed third behind Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken in season two.

:bye: Chikezie Eze :clap: ramiele, she's doing great.. hopefully her fan base stays strong :pray:

what's the theme for next week's top 9??? :excited:

good for ramiele... :clap:

i hope ramiele will be safe toms.. :pray: poor selection of song.. but she did pretty well..

Best for me: Michael Johns, Carly, David Archuleta

I have a feeling that Ramiele might be in the bottom 3 tomorrow. She's currently last place on DialIdol. Oh well we'll see...

David Cook rushed daw to the hospital?? http://www.tmz.com/2008/04/01/a-i-contestant-cook-rushed-to-the-hospital/

Judges' Comments: Dolly Parton Week

Brooke White - "Jolene"

Randy: "This kind of music could definitely suit your voice. You could make an album out of it. I don't know if that was a stellar performance for me, there were some pitch problems and sometimes you rushed the music a little bit. But it was alright."
Paula: "What's great about you is that you're consistent. Your are who you are ... You have an emotional connection with each song that you pick. And I think that's what record companies and executive want. You are Brooke White: excellent and wonderful."
Simon: "I totally disagree with Paula, because I think what was lacking on that song was any emotion. It looked like you were busking your way through the song. I thought all of you looked very odd together as a group ... It wasn't one of your better performances ... I wasn't that crazy about it." The music cut him off during the end of this critique.

David Cook - "Little Sparrow"

Randy: "You know what I love that you've been doing the past couple of weeks? You're a rocker but you've been showing that you've got this unbelievable range. I liked how you went into the (falsetto) there. You made your own arrangement which was very cool, and once again another hot, consistent performance."
Paula: "I like your haircut. Let me tell you something. I've never heard a guy do that song and it was fantastic hearing you do that, going into your false with strength ... It shows how well-rounded you are as an artist."
Simon: "I'm not going to say it was as good as last week because it wasn't, but if you can make a song about sparrows good, which actually you did, congratulations."

Ramiele Malubay - "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind"

Randy: "I wasn't jumping up and down, but I wasn't mad at you either. It was alright. You showed some signs of strength right there and conviction. I thought it was a pretty good performance. I would say six-and-a-half out of ten."
Paula: "I'm very proud of you because I was a little worried that you weren't going to connect. But I think that you really had a great minute and thirty seconds and you really connected with the audience and you were having fun."
Simon: "Look, we're not going to remember this in ten year's time are we? It was cute. You sang it quite well. But overall, I thought it was forgettable, and I thought it was very reminiscent of something you would see and hear on a cruise ship, if you want my honest opinion."

Jason Castro - "Traveling Through"

Randy: "I thought it started a little bit rough for me ... but by the middle of the song I thought you picked it up. I thought, 'Yeah this is kind of cool.' ... You worked it out."
Paula: "This was one of your strongest performances. You seemed so comfortable, you let go. Your voice sounded so strong and rich and you were confident. It was great. I loved it."
Simon: "This is the point where I lose my season pass to Dollywood because I didn't like that at all. It sounded like the same song as before (referring to Ramiele's song--Simon probably doesn't know any of Dolly's songs). I didn't think you sang it particularly well. I don't think this kind of music suits you well. If this had been the first time I'd seen you or heard you, I wouldn't get it. Sorry."

Carly Smithson - "Here You Come Again"

Randy: "I do believe that that will probably be one of the better performances of the night. Nice job."
Paula: "Carly, that was glorious. You are such an amazing talent. You are beautiful, that voice of yours--oh my god! And you look great!"
Simon: "I thought it was good. I don't think it was great ... I also think that you've got to have a word with whoever's dressing you at the moment ... I think at this stage, without being rude, you've got to start looking more like a star and I'm not seeing that progression at the moment."

David Archuleta - "Smokey Mountain Memories"

Randy: "David Archuleta is back tonight and I stand corrected. That was the best performance of the night right there."
Paula: "You have an amazing tone in your voice, you're strong, you have a beautiful aura about you. You're just glorious."
Simon: "I had issues with your choice of song last week. This week, absolutely on the money."

Kristy Lee Cook - "Coat of Many Colors"

Randy: "Country music is definitely your wheelhouse, and I think you gave a very nice performance ... This is kind of the Kristy Lee week."
Paula: "You look stunning tonight ... You just gave a beautiful performance. I think this was your best performance."
Simon: "I totally disagree. I thought last week was your best performance, and I thought this was pleasant but forgettable."

Syesha Mercado - "I Will Always Love You"

Randy: "You took on the biggest tiger of the night, and I think you did pretty good. It's still hard for me to hear anyone else sing that song. It was alright."
Paula: "You look beautiful. That color's gorgeous on you. Let's talk about your voice. Your voice [has] like a velvety tone. That's it for you and I just think you're growing and growing and growing and you're connecting with the audience so much more and I love it."
Simon: "You forget what a brilliant song writer Dolly Parton is because this is one of the best pop songs ever written. I almost wish you hadn't got it in a strange way ... the first part was good, the second part, as I had a feeling, unfortunately paled by comparison to the Whitney version ... I don't even know if it helped you that much. It was a good; it wasn't a fantastic version of the song."

Michael Johns - "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right"

Randy: "You keep on bring it up every week a notch, dude. That was a blazing hot performance. Nice job."
Paula: "I just want to say one thing ... You're a star, a rock star, a blues star ... and you look gorgeous."
Simon: "I think this is the best I have heard you sing throughout the competition."
