		<description>I think it is interesting that Syesha and David Archuletta are being knocked for the songs the producers chose for them.  I think the final 3 are great singers, but David Cook definitely always seem to have an edge that seems given to him.  This show has definitely gotten to be a popularity show, not a talent show, or Brooke White and Jason would have been gone a long time before Carly.</description>

		<description>These 'rockers' are somewhat of a joke being inspired by bands like Collective Soul, Live, Switchfoot, Our Lady Peace and others. Real hardcore, guys! If you rock any harder you might approach Nickleback territory. It's no wonder Daughtry sounds so vanilla bland on his singles.</description>
