Here is the post:


Anyway, I'm living with my cousins in Minnesota for a week, and I dont know if they do this every week or not but Rickey Minor and Debra Byrd were on a Minnesota Station KDWB talking about tonights performance and here's kind of a recap of what they said.

Carly & Syesha - Debra said she was impressed that the two "underdogs" stepped it up this week and gave great performances. (Rickey argued about them being underdogs and agreed they did good.

Jason - I don't think they said anything about Jason.

David A. They said David A. forgot almost all of his words in rehearsal, and forgot them again on the live show, he needs to show more sides of him if he wants to win. (When did he forget them on the live show?!)

Brooke - They said that Brooke just gets to herself and lets her nerves get to her which ruins her. Here's a little dirt; Rickey some of the band members were NOT happy with her starting over. Debra said she thought it was professional, Rickey said he didn't totally agree.

David C. - Debra said she thought he did a brilliant job and continues to out-do himself week after week. She says he's the one to beat, Rickey argues and says it's still David A.

THEN Debra said the most disappointing thing about this week is that (shocker)

Kristy wasn't here to perform. Rickey agreed!! Debra said had Kristy got to sing her song . (She picked "Don't Cry For Me Argentina") She would have Blown everyone away and it would have been the "moment" of the season. Rickey argues saying that he agrees it would have been the moment, but he thinks David A already had one with Imagine and David C with Billie Jean, Debra responded with "Kristy this week would have outdone both of those performances, I believe, it was one of the best things I've heard throughout the 7 seasons working on Idol" and Rickey said "I can't argue with you there, this was shaping up to be Kristy's week it was devastating to see her go after how excited she was for this week. You don't know how good Kristy is until you hear this, it might have put her into front runner status" Debra agreed saying it would have definitely thrown a huge wrench into the competition.

Asking who they think will go home, Debra said Jason while Rickey said Brooke.

I like all the guys. Jason btw, is a student at Texas A&M. I don't know how much is an act but luckily for a few, you don't have to be academically gifted if you are musically gifted!:D

actually, you do. My son is looking to attend either a stand alone conservatory or music school w/in a university and they're held to higher than average levels. Competition is cut-throat and at the same time needing to meet strong GPA and ACT scores to tip the scale in your favor.

What I meant is that there are many gifted musicians who have never been to college, that have been self-taught and have been extremely successful musicians.

Jason had very good grades in high school from what I have read but doesn't come across that way in front of 30 million people! Public speaking might not be his forte!

Yes, I think he did. Bless his heart. :D

I think they were referring to last night. I guess the camera showed the back of his head when he forgot the words (that is what the conspiracists (sp) are saying.) He missed a few words, mumbled something and kept going.

I agree. I think he is definitely nervous and stumbles his way through the interviews. I'd be the same way. :blink:

Yep! We Can Work It Out!
I went back and looked at the song last night - I couldn't see where he mumbled.


Dial Idol says Carly is going but they said KLC was in the safe zone last week.

Well, Dial Idol was right. I think they were right last week too IMO.

It should not have been Carly.

Syesha has set a record for most times in the bottom.
