Last night I was SO excited to watch American Idol kick off with the top 12 men. I was mostly expecting to be wowed by the many guys we had never even heard of. Too bad the show was a snoozefest — cruise ship singing for sure. Thankfully, there were a few excellent performances including my favorites the oldest and youngest — David Archuleta and Michael Johns. Did anyone else think Ryan might have been flirting with the way too innocent and adorable David? Sadly the early favorites usually don't make it to the finals. The only other performance worth noting was dreadlock wearing Jason Castro who loves the whole stoned daydreaming thing. It was great to finally see him on stage and looks like he'll bring something different to the table. To see a complete rundown of the show check out Buzz's review and of course don't forget to vote on who you think will be booted this week.

that 16 year old kid is going to win it or get far and a contract that boy has talent, love his singing voice but not his talking voice, yes there is a difference
1I made some joke to my husband, as Paula was gushing over David Archuleta, about cougars and, because he was talking to the kids he didn't hear it for a minute and he asked me to repeat it. I did--just as Ryan came out and started talking to David. My husband looked at me and asked, "Is Ryan old enough to be considered a cougar?" He definitely came off as flirting.
2Micheal Johns and Jason Castro were the only guys I liked
3i missed it boo
4Garrett and Luke need to go.
5Jason Castro....so hot!
6JASON CASTRO'S EYES ARE GORGEOUS!!!!
7i loved his performance and that he smiled the whole time. It was fun to watch
8I love Jason Castro. Does anyone else remember him from Cheyenne (sp) the MTV reality show he was on?
9The three pics you have up on this post, are the top three performers last night! I actually voted for Michael Johns and David Archuletta. I thought that David has a wonderful voice, but Michael gave me wicked goose bumps. Oh and what the hell was up with Paula last night? My hubby thought she had been drinking, or was on some other substance.
10I was loving David also! He was so kid like in his talking voice but once he started singing I was blown away!
We were all making fun of Paula cause she clearly went from normal to insane in 1 commercial break. That whole color conversation had me rolling.
11My favorite so far is definitely david!
12So far my favs are Jason C and David A.
Really like Jason a lot...he is just so...real.
Feel badly for Danny the Diva - ....but, boys will be girls.
13David Archuleta is so cute. im sure he will make it to the finals
14That Colton kid is sooo annoying.
15I wouldn't be sad to see him go!
Bring on dancing with the stars.
16Michael Johns..
I watched AI since Season 4 so I don't know much about the other seasons,but
he has to be one of the cutest contestants ever on this show ..
David is good too...
17I didn't see all of the performances because the ones that started out horribly, I just fast forwarded my way through. (How did I live before DVR?!?!) Anyway, I really enjoyed Jason Castro's performance. He modernized the song and "made it his own." And I didn't recognize him from Cheyenne, but I thought he looked familiar (so thanks, Shells.)
18OMG shells...that's why he looked so familiar!!!!!!!!!
19crazyyyy.
Only pervs would think that he was flirting with that boy. I guess my mind was not in the gutter last night..
Idk I just think that is a sick thing to say.
20i never want to watch this show again!
21Is is just me or does Danny Noriega looks a LOT like Jessica Alba???
22I may not be popular but I loved Danny, for no reason other than the train-wreck entertainment factor. I hope he's the Kevin Covais of this season.
23I liked those three. The others were mediocre or chose bad songs. Last night was the first night I watched because I was tired of suffering through all the awful wanna bes. My favorite was Michael Johns but his name is forgetable, someone with two first names.
24David Archuletta has got to be the cutest kid ever! He is a total doll! I'm totally in love with him--and he is very talented as well!
25I used to always watch AI. But, I am just so sick of it. It's so played out already so I haven't watched it all season. Maybe, and that is a big maybe I will watch when it gets weeded down to the top 10.
26Last night was a huge disappointment, for sure. I have to admit that I have developed quite the schoolgirl crush on David Archuletta. He's too adorable.
27i am swooning over Micheal Johns. He is gorgeous i think i will watch the rest of the season.
28hahaha he did seem like he was flirting
29"Is is just me or does Danny Noriega looks a LOT like Jessica Alba???"
No!! I swear they could be twins or the same person-its uncanny.
Michael Johns hasn't sold me yet-he was just doing an impression of Val Kilmer doing an impression of Jim Morrison.
30i love my Tivo...i get to fast forward through all of Ryan Seacrest! I love David Archuleta...he makes me want to hug him for some reason. I also like Michael Johns, wait, I like his accent and his Bohemian Rhapsody performance but I'm not so sold on him. I also think the guy with the dreads has the prettiest eyes.
31Jason and Michael are my favorites! I hope one of them wins.
32thank you lahotsauce, i have been saying this since audition arounds, he is jessica alba in emo drag.
