"Idol" Is a Diamond in the Rough

Proving that "American Idol" is on the cutting edge of the music industry, tonight the wannabes will be singing the hits of ... Neil Diamond?! And you thought Andrew Lloyd Webber was lame! TMZ moles have once again obtained the song list, but we got some bad news -- the Taylor Hicks' in-training are singing two songs each. It's gonna be a long one, folks.

46. Brooke looked and sang beautifully tonight. She and David Cook are the very best. Jason is not a good singer and his awful hair turns me off. So glad that the tattoo Carly is gone. Both she and Jason are very good looking people. Why would they deliberately look like trailer trash?

47. Well, to ALL YOU non-D.A.fans, I THOUGHT HE WAS GREAT!!! I could write a list of nasty things about other contestants, but unlike the other nasties, who just LOVE to put down almost everyone on the show, my words to you all, you don't like one of the contestants, TURN OFF YOUR TV.

49. I just can't believe the guy with the rats nest hairdo thinks he looks great.

Didn't that hairstyle go out in the 1970's???

And he is pretty good looking guy. What a waste.

51. Lisa, no one believes any of your crap. Get back to your home work. Your grammar is atrocious - "and I seen him myself".
Are you posting from prison?

52. Why are they picking such " has been " song writer tunes for American Idol. The show needs some more umpf. Try Nickelback instead of the lame 50's 60's music the show is promoting. Why do they do this? Do they think by celebrating some
" has been " they're reaching another generation of viewers. News Flash-- They are just boring the heck out of the viewers that do watch the show and they're making good singers sing lousy songs. Then of course, injustice prevails when the judges blast the singers, instead, they should be saying, --->>> Andrew Lloyd Webber, your songs are boring and they suck the big one.

53. I'm hoping for Brooke's early departure. She is just awful.

54. Why do all these sheep bother with this show? From what I've seen of it (glimpses here & there) it's inane....yeah go spend your $$ to "vote" - as if it mattered!!

55. AI has been boring since Taylor Hicks. He was the last 'real' performer on the show that made me tune in every week. The 2 best from this years have already been voted off!

56. Jason Castro needs to go!! HE SUCKS!!!!! Brooke sucks, too. Mediocre at best. Syesha after that.... then frog face Archuletta with Cook reigning supreme.

57. confession time: i'm one of those 'blasted boomers' y'all think are so LAME-O and I love Neil Diamond. You're not going to find too many more prolific songwriter / singers around. You might not care for his style but he sells out EVERYWHERE he goes. As to AI wanna-be's only Brooke and David C. did any kind of justice to his songs.

58. Brooke White just sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

59. Lindy,
Neil Diamond is a legend, and his albums still sell. He has been famous for over 40 years. You are such a stupid beyotch it is unbelievable.

60. Neil Diamond is no has-been. He is still listened to today. His concerts always sell out. Lindy you are the only loser here. Go crawl back under that rock that you came out from.
