I’ve never seen anybody who can so conistently evoke images of cartoon, talking animals as this kid does. Everything he does sounds like it should be a voice over for an animated mouse.
Archie is well matched to the material… and I doubt he even knows how horrible the material really is.
You think tonight is fillerriffic? Just wait until tomorrow!
Remember my previous post about Chris Daughtry? David C’s song is exactly the kind of crap I’d hear on any MOR “80s, 90s and Tday” type of radio station.
Simon is so full of shit.
Wow. David A.'s song was even worse. I didn’t think he sang it that well either. I don’t know what the judges are smoking tonight.
I agree with you.
Not that David A is a bad singer, but I question at this point whether the judges are even really listening or are effectively just telling the audience who they want the audience to vote for.
Tonight? The judges have been pimping David A the whole season, even while complaining that other contestants were “old fashioned” or “boring.” It makes no fucking sense to me, and I doubt they can really believe that he’s that amazing OR that he’ll sell that many records. He’ll make Ruben and Taylor look like superstars.
Ditto. A’s song was just … dull.
Oh wtf ever, seriously. I don’t really care who wins because they’re both going to sell records either way but this is ridiculous.
Of course. I know this will be 3 posts in a row that I’ve mentioned Daughtry, but he’s been a huge success and much more marketable than a Buble/Grobin-type of singer.
I think he could have done better than Collective Soul and I think he could have done a hell of a lot better with that song than he did (it was still great though).
AND HE’S CRYING. I still <3 him.
Archie “really connects” with the song, “Imagine?”
Does he know what it’s about?
Thjis song sounds very Cook. he’s doing it well. Simon’s going to find a way to piss on it and then call Archuleta’s retread of “Imagine” “magnificent.”
He could have done better WITH Collective Soul. That was a terrible finish.
Which means maybe the judges thought it was brilliant.
ETA: I mean that they have better songs.
Agreed. I still think he did a great job with it though. Better than the original.
Wow, Cook’s “The World I Know” was a single right there, as is. Boom. I wouldn’t change the channel when that came on.
Just gotta say, I agree with David C. Why do something you’ve already done? I don’t know if I can stomach Imagine a la Archuleta again.
I loved David Cook’s last song. Clearly they have no desire for him to win.
Nah, it doesn’t seem that anything Cookie sings can please Simon tonight. I don’t know what Simon’s problem is.
Simon is such a mercenary fraud in some ways. He’s pimping Archueta for the win because he thinks he can make more money off him (and not have any creative control battles), but the truth is he would never listen to this kid’s album or go to one of his shows in a million years.
I agree with David C. Why do something you’ve already done? We’ve seen it, we’ve heard it, give us something new.
David A doing Imagine again is just stupid. You know what he should do if he wants to do a repeat performance? That Elvis (yes?) song he fucked up a few weeks ago. Make it right, you know?
Ugh, I cannot stand this boy.
