• 5. I am a 29 yr, woman, and I absolutely think that the Beatles were one of the most amazing bands in decades. With that said, I think the contestants are the most talented group we have had yet, and they had a huge choice of songs from the Beatles, but only a few sang songs that were favorites. How about "Hey Jude" and "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" for example. My choice for top three are David Archuletta, David Cook, and Michael Johns. Wow, I really enjoyed all three performances. They are all different, but so entertaining. One complaint, Please leave David A, alone! He is young, sings with his heart, and because he is loved by so many, I can see the jealousy already starting. It's ridiculous. As for the girls I think they are all about even. Good,but I think possibly Christy may be the weakest as of tonight. Loved Beatles night, but lets move on and get into some R & B. Good Luck to all contestants, you are all wonderful.

• 8. I think it favors almost no contestant that they are limited to Beatles music. Given a decade of ALL music choices, the singers better showcase their styles and strengths. As much as I enjoy David A., Simon will bring him down (AGAIN) for doing too many ballads. Of course,those are his strengths. No one I know thinks this season, so far ,is the strongest group in seven seasons ,as promoted on the show. The music is much of the blame. I do not hate Beatles music, but the limiting of choice to Beatles tunes. Longshot- predicted winner: Brooke White. No,only because she is a ballad strength singer. JOHN

• 9. If all of these kids get up there and always do their best, then they have already won!!!! Doesnt matter what anyone says, it all depends on the singers and how they feel they have done. I think they all have talent. Chekezee is very talented and if they sing any linoel richie, marvin gay or smokey robinson...look out, he will rock the house!!!! Cant wait to see that happen!

• 10. Michael Johns is fantastic. Go onto Rickey.org and listen to him sing without watching the performance.Sometimes watching the performance can be distracting. He and David Cook ae the most talanted !!!!

• 11. they are using the Beatles because michael jackson owns the rights to help him out because he needs the money. there is something fishy going on here..

• 12. I am disgusted with the people on here who say that The Beatles are dated musicians and that their music sucks. They are the most talented group in music history and always will be. You guys can listen to your Chingy and T-Pain and Flo Rida and sure you can claim that to be music, but it really isn't. Sure you can claim songs about raping your mother and killing your sister to be music, but it really isn't. Ignorant people call rap music music and intelligant people call The Beatles music.

• 13. Not the greatest night for the contestants...again Simon had it right - MOSTLY - David Cook's performance was fantastic!!! While he definately could have lost the mouth organ it was great! Yes, maybe he's a tad "full of himself" right now but he really deserves to be - he's the one at the moment to beat. Top 3 tonight in order: David Cook David Archuletta Seyeisha ???? And I will say one more time - David A. is extremely talented but his voice must mature some more - he just isn't ready to sell records. YET.

• 14. This season is by far the most talented. But please, do something about the kids in front of the stage!!! The constant waving of the arms is very annoying, It also must be a distraction for the singers on stage. And one more thing for Simon, what you did for that needful family was a loving gesture, thank God for people like you!!!!!

• 15. Cheekize was great. David A was the BEST by far closely followed by David Cook and Carly. It's hard for singers to be locked into one group or singers song's. I like it when they have more of a choice, like the 60s, 90's etc.
