No one in the world could convince me this man does not smoke weed. Moving on...Last night he was playing "Mr. Tambourine Man" on American Idol, and today all over the media - "ANOTHER IDOL FLUBS UP LYRICS." Did the article mention that remembering the words to THAT song, is really fucking hard? Of course, the lyrics are what make it so magical and surreal, but in the jingle jangle morning I'd struggle with the lyrics too.
This and this also caught my attention.

I loved this guy. He did Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', Andy Gibb's 'I wanna be your everything', and he played a ukulele on the show. But yeah he seemed like he was stoned out every Tuesday night, and last night he even said his brain was being dead. What a great competitor. Not since Alaina Alexander of season 6 has a contestant so captured my heart.
I am convinced that his decline over the last few weeks was entirely due to the Idol producers banning ganja in the Contestant Mansion.
He really did start to decline and I'm not completely sure why. Usually the best contestants start strong, hit a two week mediocre lull around the top 5 or 6, and then pick up steam heading to the finish line. In fact I can only think of two contestants that ran like thurobreads from wire to wire and that's Clay and Ruben.
And of course David Archuletta! Somehow you've completely forgotten David Archuletta!
I am about 50/50 on whether he's just the greatest singer ever born, or whether he is in fact the second-coming of Jesus Christ and I never should have stopped going to Mormon church.
Archuletta is a Godsend for the show. And I think the impending battle of David vs David is going to be great for the show. And now that Archuletta is putting so much emotion into his songs since Andrew Lloyd Webber told him to sing with his eyes open, I don't see him being stopped. He's, in my opinion, the best pure singer on Idol since Clay, which is why I think he'll win. Also Cook has a bad habit of picking really anthematic songs and singing them in an overtly pompus style, ie Baba O'Riely and that shitty Our Lady Peace song.
