"Idol" Top 5 Perform

Reader Comments

• 76. Syesha is probably going to leave regardless to what she sings or how well. That bothers me, especially because y'all will swear up and down race has NOTHING to do with it. No one here can tell me Syesha Mercado doesn't outsing Brooke White and Jason Castro. Carly's exit was ridiculous as well. This entire season is horrid and it's not because of the themes. It's because of the talent. David Cook and David A. should head off in the finale with David Cook emerging as the AI. And for those who honestly think Jason should hit the finale, give me a break! That's NO competition for David Cook or David Archuleta and you know it. What are you basing your opinions on...his eyes?!!!

• 77. I agree David must go...tired of child singers trying to be grown... But I would love if the music would go back further... most stuff in the last year is crap

• 78. David A really is the best contestant yet. His voice is pure BLISS! GOOD LUCK DAVID A! There are tons of us rooting you on!

• 79. This will be the hottest night in Idol history. Neil Diamond is the BEST American songwriter and performer. It will be HOT HOT HOT!

• 80. wow some people make me laugh. Im not really a fan of any of the remaining contestants but to say that season 7 has the lowest ratings becuase of archuleta would be a complete lie. Hes the reason why most of the viewers watch the show becuase most of them are teenage girls. The fact that you hate him doesnt make this not true. I Wish him the best of luck (along with DC who is gonna do awesome tonight!)

• 81. David C is going to end the competition with these choices! It was starting to look like they should just make him this year's idol but this week will make it definitive. You heard it here first.

• 83. David Cook sucks. I love that some of you think he has saved the show. He is one of the reasons the ratings are going down. Who wants to watch that loser butcher classics? You can find someone better in a local bar.

• 84. I'm in my 20's and I LOVE Neil Diamond. I can't believe David A. is singing "America." That should have been David C's song. Well, Carly would have rocked it, but can't do much about that now.

• 85. David Cook will do the best tonite because he is the best singer, the most original. David A., will fall flat on that annoying, squinty eyed face of his. Two horrible total cheese songs he chose...way to go Dad!

• 86. Want to know why this season is the lowest rated season of Idol? Want to know why people are turned off the show? Want to know the driving force behind the American Idol season 7 disaster? One word... Archuleta. I'm not a hater, not really but he lacks charisma, personality, and stage presence. And no don't blame it on his age - Ms. Sparks was the same age as well.

• 87. David Archuleta looks like Stan Laurel - facial expressions and hair are hilarious. He needs to change his presentations; they all sound alike.

• 88. David A. is going to be fantastic with these two picks--big vocals with different tempos and both songs are well known. David C. was an idiot not to pick "Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon" or "Cherry, Cherry"--he picked two songs that no one knows--Big mistake!

• 90. That little David Archulelta reminds me of Stan Laurel. Just the expresssion on his face and his hair. He needs to do something different. All his performances sound alike.
