Also I didn't really like Lee's Hallelujah. Again, one of those songs that's hard to do, but I really didn't like how over the top and gospel-y he made it, doesn't fit the truth of the song at all imo

Listen to the Buckley version:

Then Lee's version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te42ioevqnI

so i've been wrong all the time, sure.

I admit no one liked my BoB analogy, no prob.

But, seeing as I said it was Crystal/Siobhan to win after top 24 week, I don't see how I'm wrong.

Also, compared to past contestants, Lee sucks.

If there is something else I've been wrong about, please let me know what exactly, instead of using vague put downs.

edit - meh i guess they didn't run short, the crystal announcement just seemed so hurried, and then she really pissed me off.

Didn't watch the results show, what'd she do that pissed you off so badly?

Jeff buckleys version is bland. It is popular because it's Jeff Buckley and he's a rocker. K. D. lang's is awesome, but the Norwegian guys may be even better. It has about 10million more plays than Buckley's, not that this should mean it is better.

Leonard Cohen does a great live version of Hallelujah. Gives it a completely different feel (my guess the originally intended feel).

I would support a federal law making it illegal to cover Hallelujah. Four dudes covering it is creepy, but not as creepy as ten year olds covering it on Youtube.

As amazing as the Buckley and Lang covers are, Cohen did it the way it's supposed to be done.

Host Ryan Seacrest revealed that more than 47 million votes were cast after this week's episode. That is a significant drop from last year, when 88 million votes were cast for the semi-final.

wow

well, if there was someone else that didn't suck balls, he would have. but seeing as Siobhan and Crystal went from stellar to pretty good, he's got no one to pimp but Lee.

I still think Lee isn't that great, and probably will closer to Taylor Hicks than Daughtry in selling albums, but he is better than Aaron, Mike and Casey James.

This year of Idol feels like an ATP 250 event, where Season 7 was the US Open. Sure you won, but big deal

Are you serious? This could have only been annoying if you had a deep resentment for the person in the first place, and even then it is pushing it.

When I was sitting on the couch watching this moment, do you know what I said to the exact same moment?

I believe it was close to what Crystal said. Something like, "wait, what did he say? She is going through?"

Ryan sped through that part and neither she nor prob most of the audience knew the announcement was coming without his normal leadup. All we heard was her name.

i don't believe for a second she didn't know she was at least 90% to go through. if you didn't know that either that blows my mind. how ryan said it was fast but clear.

yeah i don't really like her.

edit : 'joining lee...for a shot...at the title...is....crystal bowersox!'

how on earth is this confusing?

at 1:35 in that vid you can see what looks to be big mike, garcia, lacey, katie, turban. i didn't watch the results show other than the last few mins but i assume they were featured? or do they just attend now and then.

Agree with this. I think he is winning this thing.

Second part, I guess its just subjective. I liked his version a lot. He didn't take the easy route and sing a somber tune. He did gospel it up and it fit his voice. Both of his performances were great and I fully expect the final to be good as well.

Also, Lee is much better than David Cook.

yes he's winning

no he's not better than David Cook.

He's actually so much better than Lee that I am not even going to dignify your comment with youtube links and effort.

Lee is dumb as a post. Whenever they ask him a question, he begins to mumble something inarticulate and I want to yell "Cut!".

Decent singer though.
