I'm a hater...
I admit I don't like American Idol's David Archulata.
Sure he has great voice and in the beginning I thought he was best thing next to sliced bread. I loved Mandissa and Melinda and LaKisha too and then they got boring.
But he got boring. The same style of songs over and over again. He didn't really change them and some of them were quite dated and some of them I didn't know.
I liked Micheal Johns, Kristy Lee Cook towards the end, Sayesha and my favorite is David Cook.
Maybe because my favorite type of music is alternative like what David C does.
The Mariah Carey song he did is my all time fav, before and after he did it.
So why am I a hater? Am I not allowed to have an opinion? Why do people jump down your throats on this site? And not just about American Idol. I don't understand how some one can be THAT passionate about fictional characters or someone that they will probably never meet and in 3 years forget about.
IT IS TV. IT ISN'T YOUR LIFE.
Take a step back, take a deep breathe... and remember other people are allowed to have an opinion too even if you don't agree with them, doesn't make them wrong. It makes it an opinion.
So that is my rant for the day!

As a general rule, folks around here are pretty much live and let live. If some have "jumped down your throat" for being an Archuleta hater, I would guess it was not the majority. Personally, I like young David but he is not my favorite. I too, love that other David.
Any way, as you said: IT IS TV. IT ISN'T YOUR LIFE. I wouldn't let it ruffle your feathers.

Oh I know, most people are quite good and very nice people!
It just gets frustrating to see random hatred directed at other's opinions.

It's hard not to let it get to you, however. I know I've been there. I try to keep a sense of humor. With Idol they are real people, not just made up, so we should have some sensitivity to that fact. But I don't get it when you are speaking of a character. It's all supposed to be entertainment. It isn't real life.
I do disagree with the people who come on blogs about a show they aren't watching to criticize it. At that point they should start their own blog to criticize it and leave fans alone.

Why do people jump down your throats on this site?
Sorry to hear you've been the victim of an opinion basher. I've had that happen to me before, but not on this site. hang in there.
Am I not allowed to have an opinion?
Of course you are. It seems some people:
a) don't realize the difference between an opinion and a fact or
b) that everyone is entitled to have an opinion or
c) don't know how to express a differing opinion in a respectable way.
Regarding AI:
I happen to agree with your opinion of David A. His performances are repetetive and getting more boring with each one. There's no doubt about his vocal talent - he can sing but he has not brought a "WOW" factor to the stage, something that David C. consistently does. I do believe David A is going to win, but I think David C deserves to win.
