Nope, hadn't heard until now... this just goes to cement my belief that AI has got to be rigged.

...if you read the ai website, you will see that most of this season's top 12 or so are professional either in acting or singing...

I thought Michael Johns tore it apart last night. David Cook sounded good, but it pisses me off the judges said he was so daring, so original and brave, when all he did was do Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean note for note. I guess the judges just need to listen to some other music for christ sake so they know this shit has already been done and it isn't original, just a version they haven't heard.

Chekezie is gone!

Oh, the humanity. Ramiele is next as she is the only non-plant left. VFTW!

Next is Ramiele, Kristy, Brooke, Archuleta, Syesha. All 5 of them just annoy the crap out of me. Ramiele and Kristy just do nothing interesting and their voices just are blah to me. Brooke can only sing monotone with piano, Archuleta just needs to go Disney and leave, he might as well just morph into mickey mouse. Syesha has a decent voice, she just bores the shit out of me.

I think Michael Johns and David Cook were amazing this week. It's a shame Chikezie is gone, I'd rather have seen Kristy gone (although she's a hottie hehe) or Ramiele...

We'll see...Archuleta may have his days counted, especially after the "theme park with animated creatures" gone...LOL

Brooke White - The straight hair looked better, but you're still creepy. She should be doing Christian Rock concerts.

David Cook - Not as good as he thinks he is. His ego makes him unlikeable for my tastes.

Michael Johns - Solid performance, but should really investigate the word "versatility." He's basically using AI as an audition for a Daughtry-esque rock band.

Ramielle - I really don't mind her at all. Maybe because she's alarmingly forgettable. She really needs a HUGE performance next week. It would be a first.

Kristy Lee Cook - Simon was right, it was a clever song. Also a shitty song. Talk about pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Carly - Looked like she was taking a huge dump during her performance. I mean, we get it, you had a record deal and can sing. But you're showing us why you didn't make it...you're boring and predictable.

Jason Castro - Blah performance. But, maintained his laid back mentality, which won him criticism from Simon. Frankly, a few of the other contestants should learn from Castro and not take themselves so seriously. He's refreshing.

Archuleta - Maybe some hard drugs would save him from the Disney rap.

Syesha - Cliche performer. Cliche performance. Drop the fucking theater-style bullshit during the judges comments.

Just wondering what you meant by this? Thanks.

Well, not necessarily because it's a popular time to be patriotic, but more that it's an unpopular time to unpatriotic. It was a safe choice in that it seemed to insulate her from getting crapped on by the judges. I could just picture Simon, "that song was awful...etc,etc,etc." The next day he'd be catching shit for it. Simon himself admitted it was a "clever choice," while wearing a smirk that seemed to imply that he had more to say, but bit his tongue.
