542	RoadTrip Thu 5/1/2008 1:31p	<>>AI wins AI.<< What does it mean?>> Artificial Intelligence wins America Idol. Archuleta seems like a robot. Technically he is great, but he has no soul and his eyes seem hollow. Wind him up, push the button and he sings.
543	sun-n-fun Fri 5/2/2008 5:33a	Did I hear Ryan say the RnR hall of fame songs are next week? Lots to choose from there. They should all be able to find "their song". But they probably all won't.
544	danyoung Fri 5/2/2008 5:39a	>I think Sayesha will be the next to go, followed by Jason--leaving the 2 Davids to fight it out in the end. (With Cook winning..)< This is exactly what I am predicting! I think Jason gets a lot of the pretty boy vote from girls all over the country, but he's not in the same league as the Davids. And as to Paula's gaff - seems she was prepared to write notes on 1st song, 2nd song. When called upon unexpectedly to comment after the 1st round, she got all flustered, looked at her notes, probably saw nothing on Jason's 2nd song (as it hadn't been sung yet), and just blustered and made up the rest, trying to keep up with the live moment. If you look back on it, as Simon is doing his shotgun review right after her, she's just completely whacked out, fumbling through her notes and freaking out, trying to catch up. Honest mistake, but a funny one!
545	sun-n-fun Fri 5/2/2008 5:43a	^^^^You are right. It was very funny!!!
546	Dabob2 Fri 5/2/2008 7:53a	I believe the singers get to run through their songs just before the live taping. (In fact, I think sometimes the "recap" clips from the performances at the end of the show are actually from the rehearsals rather than the live show - check it out, sometimes they do different little "runs" and things.) I've heard that there's no rule about the judges seeing the rehearsals or not, so it's possible Paula DID hear Jason's second song during rehearsal, but got flustered and forgot she was only supposed to be commenting on the first one, which was ostensibly the only one she'd seen so far. She might have actually seen the second one already in rehearsal, and so was commenting on it before Ryan and Randy corrected her; AI likes to hold to the illusion that the judges are seeing these performances for the first time at the taping. Or so I've heard.
547	mele Fri 5/2/2008 8:24a	Still, it kind of sucks to hear their opinions about a performance that we haven't necessarily seen. Rehearsals aren't always as great as an actual performance in front of a live audience. Not that I really care, though. Paula is such a dingbat. LOL This show must be getting to me because I dreamed about David Cook this morning. I don't think I've ever dreamed about any of these people before.
548	sunNrainfall Fri 5/2/2008 9:38a	They often watch rehearsals, they get live feeds to their dressing rooms, not just on Idol, but on most live shows. Ellen Degeneres, the View, Jay Leno, they all see the rehearsals, not all of them have to judge---and especially when they had to watch both performances before their remarks, I really don't think it's that big of a deal. The only big deal is that, the production wall was broken, but it happens on nearly every live show. Cuts, edits, retakes, etc.
549	danyoung Fri 5/2/2008 10:03a	> I think sometimes the "recap" clips from the performances at the end of the show are actually from the rehearsals rather than the live show...< I believe you're correct on that, which is too bad. It would take a bit of logistical work, but with today's technology it's entirely possible to have an editor doing the edit of the recap throughout the course of the show, and then show it at the end just as it was finished. But it is easier to do it early.
550	Rsey103 Fri 5/2/2008 10:07a	Somehow I don't think the time is right for David A to win American Idol only because he's so young and not yet out of high school. Is there a rule prohibiting him from coming back to the show in the future if he wants to audition again? I think a lot of lower level contestants audition again but I've never known a finalist to come back....
