Since U Been Gone

Yes I just made a Kelly Clarkson song my post title. What of it?

AI is horrible this year. I mean to folks at Vote for the Worst have been saying it for weeks, but really . . . its just bad. David Cook is far and away the best of what's left, but no matter how much Randy wants to believe he's one of the most "original ever, dog," he is just this year's angst rocker. Every season has had one -- he's just the first one good looking enough, consistent enough, with good enough song picks, and boring enough competitors to crack the top 3. I would have loved a Cook/Carly showdown in the finals.

Castro was begging to go home. May have been literally begging -- forgetting lyrics, messing with 'I shot the sheriff', and I think he mouthed to the camera 'don't vote.' I liked Syesha for about two weeks, right through Hollywood and in the Top 24 era. Then she began to bore me. Now she just makes me unreasonably angry and I really can't pinpoint why. Maybe its just that she's still there. And Archuletta ceased to be charming weeks and weeks ago.

*snooooze*

I now return you to your regularly scheduled law school angst.

While I do think that this season has been unexciting as compared to some others, I LOVE David Cook. There's something about a angsty rocker who can also belt out Music of the Night with the best of em that makes me think he's one of the best AI contestants ever. That being said, Syesha is blah and Archuelta annoys me. A Carly/David showdown would have been great......
