American Idol

Anybody watching this year? Possibly one of the toughest final 12 groups ever. And I love the fact that they are allowing the contestants to play instruments this season. The Archuleta kid has an amazing, mature voice for his age, but Carley(the Irish Chick) has been my fav. I think she has the most powerful voice. But the way David Cook has completely rearranged two of his past three songs to make them sound new(The Beattles "Eleanor Rigby" and tonight was Micheal Jackson's "Billy Jean") has me thinking he may be the overall most talented of the entire group.

Thoughts?

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but I have watched this season from the start. First time I've ever done that. David Cook should be the one to beat. Besides the two songs you mentioned, he also put his personal touch on Lionel Richey's "Hello" and rocked it out. Never thought I would say that.

My favorites?

David Cook, Michael Johns, Carley, Brooke White and Chicezie or however you spell it. I wish Christy Lee Cook sang better, because she sure is easy on the eyes.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about his version of "Hello". Great stuff. I wished I knew how much he has had a hand in coming up with those versions. He must have a lot because they are so much different than the others.
