American Idol Recap

Jason Castro:
I've always thought his confusion was a part of his charm. But not today. He was puffing up his cheeks while they were talking, and watching David C. take the stage while Ryan was still talking to him. Someone forgot their ritalin. And his songs....terrible. Actually the first was was decent. But the second, I could not repeat one word or note of it. Boring. Definitely bottom two - and he should probably do some packing.

David Cook:
I like him...still. Okay, let's talk about David though. Musically, love him. Great arranger, singer, great, great, great. Now hear me out for a sec. I'm not sure, but last week I thought... "Is david getting a little cocky?" There was one point, on voting night, when the two Davids were standing together and all the little Archuletta girls were screaming ...AT DAVID ARCHULETTA! Well, David Cook did this slight smile their way...AS IF! I think he thought they were screaming for him. David, we like your music, but you're a little creepy looking. And then tonight, while singing his second song, I could've sworn he did this "I'm already a rock star" eyebrow thing to some of the girls in the front row. Idunknow, i think he gettin' a wee bit too cool. But...still love his music. He will be just fine tomorrow.

Brooke:
Song #1 Dollywood
Song #2 REALLY liked it
Still don't like her very much. Makes me break out in a nervous sweat.

David Archuletta:
His voice is soooo pretty. Love it. But "Sweet Caroline" was marginal, pitchy, stupid. "We're coming to America" was better, but he looked like Elvis in "Jailhouse Rock." Anyone catch him when he got a little irritated at Simon? Simon said somewhat sarcastically, "That was a smart choice," referring to "Coming to America." Well, little David sort of winced and made this "What? I like that song, and I didn't sing it so "America" would vote for me." face. You don't like it David. We don't either. And neither does your dad, who made you sing it. Safe. Eyeometer: Still open.

Syesha:
Okay, I know I haven't been a fan. But I have to say, who even cares about her second song, which was just fine, "Hello" was about as professional a performance as I've seen on Idol. Simon said it was old fashioned. Totally disagree. I love it when a singer has all those vocal capabilities, vocal gymnastic abilities, reigns it all in, and just sings a song. It was beautiful! In my opinion, it was WAY the best performance of the night, and was probably the second best performance of the season, next to David Cook's "Eleanor Rigby." So will she be in trouble???? You just never know, do you? She could be depending on what America thinks of her past performances. I say, shouldn't be, based on this performance. No how.

Paula:
Her first song was schizophrenic, but her second song...wait, didn't she do ten songs? I thought she did twenty five songs!!!

Leaving this week: Castro
