With the hope that little David Archuleta would "save the idol, save the world, the "American Idol" front-running hero took a stumble Tuesday night on the first show where all 12 of the top finalists sang. Archuleta did the unforgettable Idol no-no and forgot the words to his Beatles song. The 17-year-old singer will most likely stay on the show, and so far fans seem to be forgiving him for being human. He may, however, not be the shoe-in winner everyone thought him to be. Brooke White and Carly Smithson gave positive performances on the ladies side. White sat at the piano barefoot and sang with her heart while Smithson danced around the stage with a smile that let everyone know she was having fun. Jason Castro stayed with his style and connected with Judge Paula Abdul while Chikezie rocked the house and gave one of the best performances of the night. One of the contestants will be eliminated on Wednesday night's show. "American Idol" airs on FOX at 9/8c.

Date: Sat, Mar 15, 2008 09:32:01 PDT I completely agree. It makes me wonder if these "outbursts" are staged during certain performer's moments, just to distract viewers for a sec...maybe long enough to make them forget to vote for that performer. They never seem to squabble uncontrollably during Simon's fav (Brook White-whom I am also a fan)...but fair is fair.

Date: Wed, Mar 12, 2008 01:24:50 PDT I loved Carly last night. The worst was the "Eight Days a Week" wreck that had me peeking through my fingers at the carnage. Meanwhile, I am absolutely DONE with all the sidebar squabbling. The "gay" jabs have a junior high school locker room level of sophistication. Simon acts like a self indulgent, snotty twelve year old when he rolls his eyes and interrupts with yet another oh, so clever put down. The push and pinch fights between Simon and Paula are simply childish. They are being incredibly rude to the contestants whose post performance interviews are getting upstaged and cut short. It's not fair that some contestants get their face time while others don't. And it's all incredibly insulting to us viewers - the show's bickering has reached the Jerry Springer Show level. We deserve better for prime time TV. Sponsors take notice: If the rude fighting continues at this pace then I'll stop watching the show live. I'll simply tape it and fast forward through all the junk... the squabbles and, while I'm at it, the commercials! Submit Your Comments About This Article:
