American Idol- Recap Top 5 LIVE!
By Buck on May 5, 2008 in American Idol
Here is how it went down on BLOG TV Live!
I will do this again on Wednesday night after Idol! YAY!
Any suggestions for the LIVE SHOW on WED?
Are you still watching IDOL or did you give up?!

there aren’t even words to describe how i feel about American Idol, saying the show sucks now would be an understatement. however, watching Brooke cry on Wednesday night was LOL-worty and for sure and at least somewhat entertaining.

Ha Ha Brooke is a tranny mess sans the fierce!

I dont care about Idol anymore. There’s not much competition. Wasnt this supposed to be like the BEST SEASON EVER?!?….
I feel jipped. And I dont even pay to watch it, I feel like Seacrest should be paying me!!

At the beginning of this one you did call it the top 6 instead of top 5, but W/E we forgive you, and it says top 5 at the top of the post heading anyway, Does anyone know what this weeks theme is?
Michael, I think your live shows are goin great, people really seem to like it when you answer questions durring the chat. so maybe more of that, and the advice is great. It’s alot of fun to anticapate weather or not you’ll answer a question we posted in the forums, so thats cool too. Anything that helps us get to know you better is what I think we all want

I always like your recaps way better than the show! It is just so boring this year-I am still watching though-nothing better to do!

to quote a video from last year
“being barefoot is creep and unsanitary!”

uhhhm idk if you meant to do this or not, but effie’s picture is not from top 5 week… im pretty sure its from the top 6.

the show is really starting to suckk…. your re-caps are hilarious tho!!
deffs gonna be david vs. david

I agree, Buck, the finale is totally gonna be David vs. Effie!David. And I’m so glad Brooke finally went home…she’s a sweetheart but she’s just not good enough. She was so emotionally unstable when she was voted off that she cut the song short when she sang before the credits…LOL XD
I absolutely hate Jason Castro. He needs to get a haircut. *shudder*
Jenna | May 5, 2008 | Reply
This was so fun to watch you film!
I’m so glad that Brooke finally went home.
I’m convinced it’ll be a battle of the Davids at the end too.

I don’t even watch Idol anymore. I would rather watch your recap videos which are way more entertaining. This has been the worst season yet on Idol.
You’re live chats are great and love watching you tape your show.

Buck you amaze me. I love the fact that its done in one take. I personally think this was your best idol recap of the season.
Your live chats are going great too. You really know how to make them fun. I like how you have stuff planned ahead of time. After your chat I was browsing some other peoples live chats and oh boy were they snooze worthy. I mean come on there was one of just a duck. No joke…just a duck.
Keep doing what your doing. Your energy is great. Can’t wait for Wednesday night!!!

Syesha didn’t wear shoes last week either, standing on top of some nice piano all in her bare feet. No respect at all.

did u just call Effie a jackass???
KE reply on May 6, 2008:
I’m sorry to call you out on this Buck, but please! You’re being a douche.
David was polite and respectful to Neil Diamond, a music icon the age of his grandfather. He said, “I’d love your advice on these songs”.
For THAT, you call him a jackass? Excuse me! Who is being a jackass, here? (Hint-hint: It ain’t David A.)
TinyDiamond reply on May 6, 2008:
Why do you get so personally offended by shit like this? Effie was
being a jackass, and Buck was correct. Effie needs to get some balls
or something I feel he is going to break down any moment!
Buck reply on May 6, 2008:
I got your email and I wrote back.
You are welcome to call me out BUT you really cannot take anything I say on WHAT THE BUCK SHOW seriously or personally.
thanks
KE reply on May 6, 2008:
Real men don’t need to be rude or abrupt with people in order to prove that they have cajones. That only proves that they have no manners.
This world is swirling down the toilet in large measure because we don’t show each other kindness and respect anymore.
That David is downright decent is one of the things beside the spectacular voice that draws me and millions of others to him.
It’s weird how being nice is considered foul these days. You know, what you piss on you tend to get less of. Do you really want less thoughtfulness and kindness around you?
excellentlunch reply on May 6, 2008:
…Says the person who just called Buck a douche.
KE reply on May 7, 2008:
Okay, I’ll give you that. I apologize.
Right or wrong, at least I responded to a provocation that was undoubtedly out of line. Buck struck when David was nothing but kind and respectful. How can you justify that?
Jennifer Zauel reply on May 7, 2008:
KE, noone loves EFFIE like you do more than I. but Buck is just giving the same, nothing personal humor that he always does on a “WTBS” don’t take it personal it’s just comedy. there’s lots of praise he gives David A in other videos, Buck likes Effie, so give um” a break!! sweet words aren’t very funny always in a “WTB” epesode. But, check this out to support our common Love (EFFIE)

Your recap is definitely 10 times better than AI, and your singing is more enjoyable. This show is getting tired, and I can’t believe that some contestants have made it this far. I’ll only watch it occasionally, but I will always watch you.
yaleah | May 6, 2008 | Reply
I only watch American Idol for David Archuleta. I think someone wrote Paula’s notes for her. It’s juicier that way. I swear to god if, David Cook/Hillary Clinton wins, I am going to crawl into the hole I’ve been digging for myself and never come out. : )
Wendy | May 6, 2008 | Reply
for tonight:
David Archuleta: “Stand by Me” by Ben E. King and “Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley (cover by Norah Jones)
Syesha Mercado: “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner and “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke
David Cook: “Baba O’Reilly” by The Who and “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran
Jason Castro: “Mr. Tambourine Man” by Bob Dylan and “I Shot the Sheriff” by Bob Marley (cover by Eric Clapton)
Buck reply on May 6, 2008:

I thought Cook’s song was good - not my favorite song, but he performed it well.

I have to agree with the lyrics of Cook’s song to describe the performance…”doo doo”.

i agree with simon, it was good and he’s already the best of the night i can tell. Im still voting for him because at this point im just trying to keep jason out

well we all know that whoever is eliminated this week (Jason or Syesha), the other is eliminated next week leaving David vs. David in the finals

Jason said in an interview that he wants to go home, so I’m not surprised with his lackluster performance and overly obvious song choices (you know - the kind that everyone rolls their eyes to).

Andrew reply on May 6, 2008:
he is not pretty…. he’s the exact opposite, I think he looks gangly and dumb
koolkidkrissy | May 6, 2008 | Reply
i think he did that on purpose so he could go home, but i think that’s gunna make people vote for him, because some people vote for the worst…. which pisses me off
Andrew | May 6, 2008 | Reply
Haha, Jason is the VFTW pick and for a good reason. He obviously wants to go home and he messed up two songs purposefully and he’s been laughing and making gestures all night. This kid is BOLD.
Andrew reply on May 6, 2008:
i know, i really hope people don’t vote though, syesha deserves to at least be in the top three

I gave up on Idol two seasons okay. It’s really gotten boring. In fact all reality shows have lost their novelty. Also, I think Simon has enough money now.
Clucy | May 6, 2008 | Reply
I couldn’t give a flyin eff about this show anymore but I watch it still. I am dying to see Jason and David C. get sent home so they have a chance at making an album I want to buy. Jason is my favorite but David is the best.
I hate Effy david can he sing anything besides ballads.. seriously!
I read in EW that Jason said he’d kinda like to go home. I hope not yet.
dirty_granola | May 6, 2008 | Reply
Effie still needs to open his eyes! How can he see anything?
I like the barefoot thing. I have friends who are percussionists and they always perform barefoot. And trust me, percussionists are the COOLEST musicians of the bunch. They are the rebels. Going barefoot is a sign of comfort on stage. You go, Syesha!
Jason still sucks. Roadhouse David is still going to win.
Peace!
Wendy reply on May 7, 2008:
No offense but I disagree with going stage on barefoot. If a performer really felt secure, I don’t think they would need to resort to a gimmick like that. Maybe in a smaller setting it would be genuine to go barefoot but on American Idol in from of millions of people? I think in that situation it’s forced and pretentious. I think it’s cool that David A. shuts his eyes when he’s performing. I can relate to how he feels when he does that because he’s really feeling the music, you see his passion. Jason does suck, it’s time for him to go home.
maj55tl4 | May 6, 2008 | Reply
David Archuleta hit it OUT of the park tonight, folks! Simon was right–he CRUSHED the competition.
Jason wants to go home. I say, let him go. He’s pretty, but it IS a singing contest, after all, not a pretty contest–as Buck would say. Syesha has stepped up to the plate. She deserves to stay on and sing. Ultimately though, it will be the Davids, and I still think the best singer of the bunch will win. That would be David Archuleta.
When David A. is off the show, I think you’ll see a MUCH more relaxed stage presence. He doesn’t get anxious singing. He’s in the zone when he sings; he loves it! It’s being judged that he finds so unnerving. When that part is over and done, I predict he’ll be in hog heaven on stage doing what he loves–singing his heart out. Then, it’ll be FUN times for the Archulator–and the audience who will lap it up!
