Comments on: Latinos on American Idol: You Disappoint Me http://blog.latina.com/blog/2008/03/26/latinos-on-american-idol-you-disappoint-me/ Latina Magazine's blog for Fashion & Beauty Tips, Entertainment News and More Thu, 24 Jul 2008 01:08:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: anonyme http://blog.latina.com/blog/2008/03/26/latinos-on-american-idol-you-disappoint-me/#comment-3413 anonyme Fri, 09 May 2008 17:21:36 +0000 http://blog.latina.com/blog/2008/03/26/latinos-on-american-idol-you-disappoint-me/#comment-3413 What I don't understand is why they didn't do a latin-music week this time? Afraid having so many latinos would give them an unfair advantage? Well the final four had 3 latinos? David C. looks like he's got some ethnic heritage as well. But considering how awful latin music night has been in the past on AI it would have been great to see it finally done right? Not saying that only latinos can do latin music but I do imagine it would have been nice. What I don’t understand is why they didn’t do a latin-music week this time?

Even Ryan said he was doing a cover of that Billie Jean version, but apparently, NO ONE LISTENED!

Jason just has that raw talent and is a true musician. Ok, so I'm sucker for dreads - can't help that - I truly think he has a gift and hey he sang some of the words in espanol - that's a first - no? David Cook is a fraud - there is nothing original about him. Chris Daughtry is way better than him - that includes the looks too. Syesha is good and I support her too. David Archuleta needs to step it up but he is still very talented. I miss David Hernandez - your right...who cares at that fact that he was a gay stripper. That's none of our business. Boyfriend could still sing! I also miss Danny Noriega - he was so fun and I enjoyed watching him. One last note...disappointed with Latinos? Where's the love? Why is it that everytime Latinos are on tv or are in the limelight we are so quick to judge them and criticize. I consistently vote for Jason Castro and I think you got all wrong chica.

My husband and I prefer Brooke White. She has that Carly Simon/Carole King vibe and knows what works for her musically. Regarding the boys, David Cook is the one. He takes chances that no one else ever has and is totally unique. He is and should be the last one standing. Jason Castro could morph into a modern take on Bob Dylan, but he needs to step up his game. I enjoy him but last week, showed how sloppy his performance skills can be. As for David Archuleta, granted he has a good voice, but not the maturity and is turning into a one trick pony with those ballads. I just don't think he has developed the musical range to do anything else. As for last week's song choice, it is apparent that CSD (Crazy Stage Dad) had his fingers in the pie. I know that I have never wasted a vote on him or any of the other Latinos, except Jason Castro. Keep up the good work. I concur, except Syeesha does nothing for me musically.

I agree that Jason Castro has to bump up his game. He's got the talent and the voice. He's a throw back from the hippie days and those days are gone. Clean up, get up and sing man! David Archuletta is a doll but too meek and mild. The boy can belt them out...however I agree - the song choices are not good. He is so young that you know he will have many, many chances to become a star. Idol will get him a contract no doubt. The little girls are banking on that! Ms. Mercado's voice is awesome but there is just something not clicking with me....don't know yet what that is. I think Carly has the best female voice but not a fan favorite I think. The boys are kicking butt......let us not forget Michael. Oh, can he sing??? Yes, he sure does....just can't get past his good looks to listen sometimes! No eye sore there. Lucky woman! This year Idol has had the best talent. Hard to see anyone go. I will be at the Idol show to see the top 10 when it comes to my town. My hubby and I are hooked. This year is a definite step-up from last year. I love IDOL! David Cook is awesome….gives me goose bumps. I agree that Jason Castro has to bump up his game. He’s got the talent and the voice.
