--- Quote from: AmyKeith on May 06, 2008, 02:47:55 PM ---David's musicality and rare interpretation of the music by his voice is appealing to all age groups. He has a new sound and a new interpretation of music. His music invites you in, to enjoy & relax--a natural high, awash in endorphins.
The entertainment media and apparently some people in my age group don’t know what to do with him b/c it isn’t cool to like a nice, kind, humble kid so they take the easy way out and lampoon and bash him at every juncture. AI format has not allowed him to select nor sing the songs that show his musicality to its maximum except early on. When he leaves AI and gets to control of his song selections and arrangement, all will be forgotten by the entertainment media as to his age. We will see some rapid turnabouts.
Oh, btw, I am a music/communications major at a university. A lot of my friends in the collegial music world (those 20+ year olds you are talking about that people think don't get DA) are looking forward to David A's first album and we are voting like mad--we get technology a little better than tweens.
Oh, and scrub the age bias from your brains tonite for a few secs; listen to DA without the blinders you have put on! You may not like his sound, but he has talent and then some.

:waves: Hello AmyKeith and a big :welcome3: to you. Thanks for for joining and posting here on RFF.
It's great to hear from people with a musical background that's just awesome. :tup: You too vanillalatte that is so impressive.
I agree with you in that for a 17 year old young man David A is very talented.
:groan: What a night it was for Jason forgetting the lyrics and not a great performance for either song.
It will be interesting to watch next week as the final 3 compete, I'm sure the pressure is enormous for them.

:waves:Hi, I normal post on BB boards. I had to vent or at least see if anyone else is seeing what I am on Idol this year.
David A- the young one ( Just to make sure I got the right one) I just do not get it. How much more unfair could this year be. He could sing or do anything and he will be praised. His preformance was not great tonight. His version of "Love me Tender" was horrible. As an Elvis fan I think he didnt bring it. Now I am not saying he does not have a good voice but check out any singer on broadway and they will out sing him and perform him same age and all. I just dont get the judges just pushing him and pumping him up so much. Now the other David the older one.. I think he is marketable and just great too. Just been really turned off this season because everytime I watch this kids is getting the praise while others who should dont at times.

I understand what you saying I have seen in past seasons that the judges have their own vision of who they want to win
and it can be influential when fans of AI vote and in the same breathe I can think of times when fans don't take it seriously enough
for instance in my opinion Sanjaha made it waaaaaaay farther than he should have :groan: ugh that was a joke

Since this is the same week that we lost Chris Daughtry and Tamyra Gray, I decided that I would vote for the 2 hours after the show. I got through around 30 times for David Cook, so hopefully that will be enough for him to make it through this week. :yess: I will be crushed if he goes this week. :'(
At votefortheworst.com they have Jason Castro as the person this week to keep, hopefully they fail, they did last week with Brooke. I am so discusted with these people that are ruining it for the contestants that do have talent. (:;)
As for David A, I can not stand his nasally singing anymore and his fakeness. I am sorry if some of you like him, but he is such a faker in my opinion regarding his song choices, he says things like I have never sang this song before, blahblah blahblah, but then TMZ or some other site finds video of him singing those songs at parties and stuff. He just needs to grow up and try again when he is in his 20's and let the talented contestants go farther this season.
sorry for the rant on David A but I had to vent somewhere. :pull
I have my fingers crossed tonight for David Cook, he is by far my favorite. :flirt:
