Elixir Sue Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 At long last....Jason is toast... LouieB Jason is definitely toast.. Bob was rolling over in his grave last night. He butchered that song. If Castro comes back for next week it's rigged.Dudes, put down the haterade. I'd rather listen to Jason sing than any of the other contestants. He probably WILL get sent home tonight, but the beauty is he doesn't give a shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marino13 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I absolutely hated David Cook's version of Baba. He is supposed to be a "rocker" and he pussified that song beyond all recognition. The slowed down start took away one of the best parts of the original. Even worse, his soft phrasing throughout the song ("teenage waste-lahnd") was very emo and had no grit to it whatsoever. Even though I knew he would fit right into the crap rock mode when the show is over and that I would never listen to his music, I was still rooting for him within the context of the show. However, pissing on Baba like that threw everything that I hate about his brand of music right in my face and now I have no one left to root for. I do like Syesha, but not necessarily as a music artist. I hope this springs her into acting because she seems talented and I like her personality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's no way the kid would have lasted this long if it were a radio show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Was there a theme last night? I tuned in when Cowell told the little hippy boy to pack his suitcase, at that point the show was almost over. I could not detect a theme based on the end-of-show recap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 The theme was to cover Rock & Roll. You know, like Duran Duran and Bob Marley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I liked a few weeks ago when Randy told Jason he sounded like he was singing at a luau, and Simon asked "what's a luau?" Yeah, I find Jason to be pleasant and inoffensive, and I like that he's pretty and also that he appears to totally not give a shit about the whole deal. So I'm still rooting for him!

The fact that he doesn't give a shit is certainly his most endearing quality. That, or the fact that he's the only one that's smoked a J before taking the stage.

gogo Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 He's been caught on camera yawning, at least twice, during what have to be very tense moments for these people. So yeah, I'm guessing he's pretty relaxed most of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 The fact that he doesn't give a shit is certainly his most endearing quality. I don't know.. You would think that someone who's getting the chance of a lifetime to perform for the world and pretty much guarantee a career in music would give a shit.. Or atleast act like he does. Indeed he never would have made it this far if it were a radio show. But I guess that's the sad reality.. It's 20% musical talent, 80% looks.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do like Syesha, but not necessarily as a music artist. I hope this springs her into acting because she seems talented and I like her personality.Totally agree with all of this. As I was saying Cook was supposed to be the rocker but he had no clue what to do with one of the great rock songs of all time. Pathetic. Meanwhile Syesha is stunningly beautiful and has a great set of pipes. She will go somewhere even if munchkin Archuleta beats her out. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 We were discussing this with the kids before the results show last night. When it gets to the final, and they have to sing this year's version of This is My Now or whatever the hell the "songwriting" contest winner was last year, they're going to want David A and Syesha in the Top 2. Even Blake knew he was sunk going up against Jordin on the big diva song last year. David Cook could probably pull it off, but we were having a good laugh imaging Jason trying to sing whatever sappy ballad they're going to be expected to sing for the final. That, and the fact that even he knew he wouldn't have been able to make it through three songs next week makes me feel that yeah, it was time for him to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 That kid screwed up all the lyrics on his outro last night, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I didn't get to see it.. Did he have his "don't give a shit" attitude? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well hey, I wish him the best on his future endeavours. He could easily become the next Enrique Iglacius with that voice. I think that style of music would suit him well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I didn't get to see it.. Did he have his "don't give a shit" attitude?This is like asking if Tom Cruise played a cocky guy in a movie you didn't see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sly like a Foxwell Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 really, just how fucking high do you have to be to forget Tambourine man? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 really, just how fucking high do you have to be to forget Tambourine man? Not really THAT high...it does have ALOT of words and Jason is kind of young and probably hasn't sung along with it for decades. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Dude's a stoner, he should know the words to Tambourine Man. Also, I think he screwed up the "in the jingle jangle morning" line, which is by no means the hard part of that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well yea he should know. He should know because he is up in front of millions of people. If he screwed up jingle jangle he really screwed up.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
