Decided to give this its own page, now that the full episode has been aired

The DA segment on today’s episode turned out to be shorter than the one aired during the primer. But we have both videos here.

The good thing with the epi today, we have a better picture of David w/ And, Mom & Grandma

“… Heard from one of the missionary’s mom that David got to skype with his fam for about 1 hour, if it’s true I’m so happy for him and his family, must be hard for both sides especailly his mom!!!
…”

Am a happy camper

So glad to hear David got some “family time” on skype. I’m sure his mom is missing him like crazy (I know I am )

David’s 1st tweet food from Chile

David Archuleta ‏ @DavidArchie

From David: Having cocimiento (some kind of broth with pollo, chuleta, y mariscos) for my first time. (thought u would like a food tweet ks)

Word is someone from AIS11 will be singing Imagine.

Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy?

Wel, good luck whoever you are!
marlie7 . May 16, 2012 .

Dumb -- are these people dumb? Look what happened to that one guy who sang The Long and Winding Road……even Simon asked him why he sang it. And he was voted off that week.
desertrat . May 16, 2012 .

Waiting for someone to sing “Imagine” is like waiting to see someone break a record by a favorite athlete. I’m ready to get this over with.
jackryan4da . May 16, 2012 .

Aside from that iconic performance, what I remember most when David sang Imagine was the reaction after the performance. Tons of videos were uploaded in response to that performance. Testimonies, reviews from people of all walks of life. People who didn’t even care to vote started uploading videos on YT about how much that performance affected them.

I have not seen such impact of any Idol performance like that… EVER!

What AI & Joshua did tonight was just make me miss David more.
jackryan4da . May 16, 2012 .

Ok I watched it again.

Where is the beauty of the song? Why mar the song’s message with yet another scream?

Am sorry but that just doesn’t cut it. Even by a hairline.

@DavidArchie Why do they keep trying to sing “Imagine” ?? Haven’t they heard David Archuleta’s rendition was a masterpiece? Silly Idols!

“Now let’s get on to our American Idol 2012 top 4 recap and see how the contestants did on Wednesday night’s performance show! Although honestly, I do have to question how we ended up with “Imagine” at this point in the competition when David Archuleta already went there and did that and who wants to be compared to one of the most iconic song of Idol history? ”

Joshua Ledet, “Imagine” – This was an interesting choice for Joshua to make — whenever we hear this song, we either think about John Lennon or, in “Idol” terms, David Archuleta.

“CONTESTANT’S CHOICE: “Imagine,” John Lennon
Once again my hopes for unpredictability from Joshua were dashed when he went with this overdone “Idol” staple, one that is still associated in many viewers’ minds with David Archuleta’s landmark performance from Season 7. Joshua explained that he picked the tune because its message connected with him when he heard it on the radio this week, not because it was a big, belty song–and while I admired his intentions, I still didn’t think this was the point in the game for him to start holding back. Joshua didn’t receive a standing ovation this time, but the judges still adored this effort. Steven called it “another thank-you-God moment,” Randy said it was “brilliant,” and J.Lo actually praised Joshua’s restraint, saying, “It was a pulled-back and controlled performance for you, which I know is the hardest thing for you to do.”

“JOSH’s hometown trip just reinforced my complete 180 with him. Five weeks ago, he annoyed the hell out of me. Now he strikes me as a fine young man with a great family from a great background and a personality that is actually growing on me. That said, his choice of “Imagine” just didn’t click. It’s not his age. It wasn’t a great arrangement, and it took me back to when David Archuleta nailed this song in Season 7.”

@anagfeleo

“@bodiecruz: @anagfeleo Nowhere near Archuleta’s version of “Imagine” during Season 7.”yupyup. that was classy.

“I’m not sure this was the right song to propel him into the finale, either. “Imagine” has been done before in more memorable fashion (David Archuleta comes to mind). Although it was controlled and had beauty to it, it was not unbelievable.”

“Joshua Ledet – “Imagine” by John Lennon. He dropped the line “Imagine no religion” because really, that’s not something Joshua can imagine. It’s hard not to compare this with the low-key original or even David Archuleta’s subtle take. It’s good but not my taste for this particular song. Grade: B/B-plus ”
jackryan4da . May 17, 2012 .

Not sure if this is really Simon though

Simon Cowell‏@IdolBlogs
David archuleta’s version of Imagine was way better than Joshua’s. But I’m glad he ddnt scream on the song.
marlie7 . May 17, 2012 .

I don’t know why anyone who knows anything about Idol would ever choose to sing “Imagine” on that show.

As many said in the blogs and tweets you posted above, JR, David’s performance was iconic, historical and magnificent! (Well, the word magnificent was mine )

Joshua is really good, and when he sings a gospelized version of a song, yeah, it is usually pretty amazing. But, Joshua lacks heart, for me. His eyes show almost no emotion and he screams a bit too much (sort of like Adam Lambert.)

There just wasn’t the beauty and heart that David brought forth when he sang Imagine…THAT was a stellar performance.
desertrat . May 17, 2012 .

jr, thanks so much for compiling all the “imagine” comments!

marlie, i’m with you, i’m not a fan of joshua & adam’s screams. sometimes, jessica’s screams are a bit much too.
desertrat . May 17, 2012 .

me again, lol. on a more positive note, i should have added that i actually thought joshua did a very nice job with “imagine” but it didn’t touch me like david’s version. i would like for either him or jessica to win this year.

OS posted DA seeing his huge Bench billboard

After seeing the BENCH FiX Billboard on the last day in Manila. We had Sherwin our driver drive by it a few times. Just could not believe how big it was. It’s just crazy.

Joshua Ledet: Vocally, Joshua’s capable of so much, he sometimes does too much. That was certainly the case Wednesday in the middle of his first song (“I’d Rather Go Blind”) and his last, a very afflicted performance of “No More Drama” that the judges praised and that I didn’t like one little bit. He seemed off rhythm in the middle of the song and went a wee bit too wild at the end. In between, he performed a more controlled version of “Imagine,” a song that’s been done better on American Idol before. It was a night when Joshua had a chance to prove he was clearly the best of the final three, and failed to capitalize.
jackryan4da . May 17, 2012 .

@JoAnnBanaga
In the Idol world, IMAGINE will always be associated with @DavidArchie. Joshua is superb but no one does it better than David Archuleta.
jackryan4da . May 17, 2012 .

Jessica joins the finale

That’s all
marlie7 . May 18, 2012 .

So glad for Jessica…and I like Phillip more than Joshua. For me, it’s about connecting, and Joshua doesn’t connect with me. There is something aloof in his performances. Yes, it looks like he is into it -- but I just don’t feel it. I think he lost votes because of that, as his voice is truly spectacular.

Jessica can sing like an angel. She is young, like David was on Idol, and her potential is right there waiting to be realized.

Phillip is his own person -- he does it his way, regardless of the coaching and jibes from the judges. I love that about him. I think he connects with the fans and that is why he is in the finale.
marlie7 . May 18, 2012 .

Hmmm, interesting thought:

When Aaron Kelly sang “The Long and Winding Road,” he was voted off.

When Joshua Ledet sang “Imagine,” he was voted off.

Lesson for the future: do not try to sing a song that David Archuleta sang on Idol….you cannot compete.
