I can't believe all of these people who have no idea what these shows are about.
I'm sorry, but Brooke was bad, and starting over was unprofessional.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

I think Jason and Brooke should have focused on picking more enthusiastic songs than these sad, dramatic songs. Even if they are sung well, I don't think they fit the audience of the show. And if ALW was doing his job, he should have suggested better songs for Jason and Brooke.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:36pmThat is true. Everyone likes upbeat, fun songs. Not songs by powerful female balladeers... Hahaha

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:37pmI mean, Jason, ever hear of a computer? Ever hear of researching the song you're singing?

Why do they pick unpopular ALW songs?
Brooke SHOULD NOT have picked a song sung by Eva Peron. She does not have the personality that could ever be believable to sing a song like that. It was just a train wreck and she is perfect for Maria in SOM.
Jason could have cared less this week he just wanted to go backstage and smoke a joint....he just was like wah wah i saw that musical RENT about A.I.D.S....so yeah.
David A. now this should be thrilling....not...
I am looking forward to Carly.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:39pmYES. One of the SMARTEST things ever said on AI. OPEN YOUR EYES. He always squints. I like ALW on this show so far.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:41pmWhy must they do all of these arrangements??! Heres a thought. Lets actually sing the songs how they were WRITTEN TO BE SUNG!!

He reminds me of someone I used to perform with and not in a good way.
and it was like Jack Johnson sings the songs of ALW...this will probs be at Joe's Pub in the fall.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:41pmThey can't, because American Idol is about pop singing. That's what sucks about doing Broadway songs on this show.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:42pmI actually thought it wasn't that bad, and I do like the original song... Maybe I'm just crazy... I still would like to hear his "Love Changes Everything" though...

"Why must they do all of these arrangements??! Heres a thought. Lets actually sing the songs how they were WRITTEN TO BE SUNG!"
Why? They aren't trying to be Broadway stars, but pop stars. They each have their own style, and this show is about showing it. I love the different arrangements.
Forcing them to sing in the original arrangements would be moronic.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:43pmI wasn't crazy about David's "Think of Me", but I'm not crazy about David in general.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:43pm"Think of Me" is a bad enough song; without the impressive high notes there's nothing left.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:44pmThat was ridiculous. He completely ingonred the challenge of singing an ALW song by rearrangeing it to a point beyond recognition.
#117re: ALW on AI tomorrow night...
Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:45pmWhy is it moronic to actually challenge the performers to prove that they are all-around good singers, not just some one trick ponies? What's so moronic about that?!

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:45pmI dont think he was terrible but I was not a fan of the song choice. I am thinking the next two will probably be the best of the night.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:46pmBecause when they put out their albums, it's not gonna be full of ALW songs. It'll be their own style. So they are singing ALW songs in their own style, changing them up.

He was certainly better than Jason and Brooke but he wasn't good. Plus he forgot the lyrics.
Oh no, Carly. Stop smiling.

Posted: 4/22/08 at 8:49pmI didn't catch him messing up the lyrics! Hmm that's weird, especially since nobody said anything...
