David's Audition ...



This is why he's gonna make it ... a successful risk taker ...

I took major notice of him in "Hello" and I've been following him since. What I really really like is that he can take nearly any genre of song and still keep his own identity, making the song fit into him instead of him trying to fit into the song.

Tonights will nail it for him.  I love Jason and I love Michael.  Jason kind of appeals to the girly side and Dave appeals to the uh ... big girl side

The other David ... well, hopefully he'll be out soon. But, I think it will be down to these three guys and either be DC and Jason or DC and Michael.

Unless they consider him just too good and polished and toss him out because noone else can compepet ...  We all know where he's goin after idol anyway!

He performs instead of acts. He smiles this kind of crooked cute smile and then turns his head down and stares into the camera and then you melt ...

where's that melting icon thingy???

I've already downloaded both versions of eleanor rigby ... the show version and his studio version...

  I didn't notice until he said that

Okay ... it wasn't his original arrangement ... but it was VERY good!

I didn't see the show, but watched Davids performance on YouTube and I thoguht he did well:)

Have you guys heard this song before? I found the lyrics and once I saw them it became painfully clear why he chose the song ...

Innocent

Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone 
in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain
A guitar and a stereo
While he wishes he 
could escape this
It all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are we are all innocent
Tinas losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music 
hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery
And a new nose
Every calorie is a war
While she wishes she 
was a dancer
And that she'd never 
heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her
some answers
And make her feel beautiful

Poor Dave - his brother has cancer and had a back setback recently. That can't be easy. I thoguht I'd noticed a certain spark missing ... like he's been a tad bit lower key than usual lately ... At least I thought so anyway ...

Going and listening to the original song and then watching David again I see where the problem was ... And he sang the last verse instead of the first and so he sang the first half in the lower range and then went up an octave right in the middle of a sentence ... it gave it a really sort of odd feel. He should have sang the second verse exactly like the first and then went into the chorus ... it would have been better.  

Simon really showed how pompous he is just by accusing David of being pompous - what a horses arse. Many times, he's right on the money ... but he wasn't last night.

I didn't see the writing on his hand on the youtube video ... so I'm really glad Paula pointed it out because it threw me off when he put his paml out like that.

I really like David and he should make it hands down.

I was really sad to see Michael Johns go... he was one of my top 5...

That was so mean of Ryan to say how usually they don't let someone go during Idol Gives Back... but this time, you're going home. Like for a few seconds he was probably thinking he had a second chance!
