Told you guys the 2 Davids, we will see next week which one.
According to what's written hear, the David's were pegged back on 3/25. And they wonder why the ratings are soft!
It wasn't until last night when I watched Syesha's clips (from the beginning, not her homecoming) why I liked her in the first place. You would think that with her relative humble surroundings she would have a little more humility herself. At least last night she seemed to take it all in stride.

It's funny you mention that Jeff...When I was reminded of who she was in the beginning, and the fact that her family life was a bit of a struggle...I suddenly realized why she may be so unavailable, so unreachable while being interviewed...I even felt a little bad for having blasted her the way I did about her ego, etc. I guess everybody has a story of some sort...I just forgot what hers was...I still think she'll have a real career...She's got talent...It may be in the Broadway arena rather than pop albums...But she'll go far...Hey...Number three out of 100,000 ain't bad at all!!!
Makes me wish she had some image management...or perhaps she did and they did her wrong.
Even when she performs though -- she can turn off. Her last number of Tuesday night was clearly something she didn't believe in and she just slugged her way through it. Whether you sing or act, you've got to sell it. And she can sell -- she just didn't and was guilty of that several times through out the season.

I'm sure she will still get a record deal, even though they can't do anything for a year since they have to do the Idol tour first.
So which David will it be?

Does it really matter? Both are marketable and will be marketed. Personally, I think David A will go the way of Michael Buble or Josh Groban -- or maybe even front a boy band, although that seems unlikely. David C will go the way of Daughtry and may be just as successful. They both win.
AI was really predictable this year. Who wins right now hasn't got me feeling it one way or the other. I don't think winning AI means much. Look at last year's winner, Jordin. Or look at Taylor Hicks or Fantasia or Reuben. Big whoop.

We have a little ampitheater here where I live, it seats less than 4000 people. Every summer they do a concert series and we get a lot of former greats. Dan Fogelberg, for example, was here a few years back.
We got the flyer in the mail the other day and they are headlining Kellie Pickler and Phil Stacey. Whoo boy.
If all they can book are dinky little venues of less than 5,000 that should tell you something about the way they are being packaged and managed. I am extremely disappointed in Kellie Pickler. She's only 20-something and has (had) a great personality. But between the plastic surgery and who ever decided to dress her like Erma Bombeck, I think her appeal has gone way down. I'm not a country follower per se and I understand she has won some awards. But if she can't draw bigger venues it makes me think she's on the road to has-beenville.

Simon's look was hilarious!!! But let me ask you...Truthfully...What the heck was Fantasia doing? I LOVED her when she was on Idol!!! I mean I was crying when she sang "Summertime"...I bought her album although I didin't love it...But that performance was remenicent of Marylyn Manson...Chaotic would be an understatement...And that red hair...I thought that perhaps a satanic cult had taken over the stage for a moment to two...I think it might be "back to the drawing board" time for Team Fantasia...
Was it somewhere in this thread we were talking about Shania Twain? Looks like she's splitting with her husband, for Def Leopard braintrust, Mutt Lange. Let's see if this is a career killer for her. Without his arrangements and sound engineering, she was getting nowhere (well, a little somewhere based on her body) --
Her too, Jay? What will Kristi say? Sheesh. Tell me now. Did you (or do you) also have a thing for Katherine Zeta Jones? Man, I'm telling you every time I see her in something my wife gets white hot ****ed at me. Even if I don't say anything. Same sort of thing every time a Shania video comes on. My little girls love Shania but my wife makes me leave the room.
Kind of reminds me of that old joke about the ugly opera singer...a man hears a record of an opera singer and just falls in love with the sound of her voice. So, he goes to the opera and sees her perform. He is just smitten by her. Though the opera is in another language he is so moved by her tenderness and longing that he can't help himself -- he HAS to meet her. So he gets backstage and though he knows she is caked in makeup he cannot help but swear undying love to her and he asks her out.
They go out, wine and dine. He asks her to sing as much as possible -- she sings the menu, she sings the cell phone ring, she sings all the time. After a whirlwind romance, on a whim they decide to go to Vegas and get married.
The morning after, the makeup is gone and morning breath has arrived and he comes to his senses as he watches her sleep. Suddenly she awakes and asks him "What?"
"Sing, dammit, sing!" is all he can say.
Well, with Shania, the opposite is absolutely true....Don't sing! Don't sing!

Catherine Zeta is another one on my list...Remember that movie she did with Sean Connery...Something about them being jewel theives or something...I was hooked back then...She is just plain gorgeous...and from what I hear, although she is very high maintenance she's a really sweet person too...I probably couldn't afford her nail budget...
What about Zorro? The only thing better than a woman with a sword is one with a guitar. That movie has been banned from my house. I made the mistake of watching that first when we built our home theater.

I'm embarassed to say that I never saw Zorro...Perhaps my wife had us avoid that one without my even knowing...She's very smart that Mrs. Ish...Too smart for her own good most of the time...Mrs. Douglass was good in "Chicago" too...I guess I have to find Zorro...
