Americal Idol Top 6

VS.

I personally loved Andrew Lloyd Weber night. I am a big fan of musicals and I feel like most of the songs were really well done (minus Jason--sorry dread head fans). I've been saying for a long time that I think David Archuleta and David Cook will battle head to head for the finale, and I'm sticking with that.

Here's my quick recap:
Syesha--she did a great job! She has really stepped up and performed well for the past several weeks. I think Randy was right about her having a career in Broadway. I think she's really well suited for that type of stage.
Jason--At first I really loved the song, but he seemed about as comfortable as a kid sitting on a bed of nails. It got awkward, and I think he'll be in the bottom 3 tonight.
Brooke--I think she's going home tonight. She has a cool voice, but "cool" doesn't get you much better than 6th place in this competition. She just can't compete with the other huge voices.
David A--Other than the 3 or so words that he forgot when the camera was panning behind him--I thought he did awesome! I loved the arrangement, and totally disagree with Simon. I thought the performance was anything but forgettable. The little "fan sign" is really cute too (putting his hand over his heart).
Carly--Love her voice, and she is amazing...I'm just not sure how much longer she'll be on. I don't know if she appeals to enough people, but regardless of that--dang. The girl can belt.
David C--Holy cow. That was so awesome. I don't care if he didn't change the song one little bit. It was nice to see a softer side to him, and I loved when he hit that high note. I think Danny and I have re-watched it about 5 times since last night.

Favorite performances of the night: The Davids. Can't wait for the finale!

Comments

Totally disagreed with Simon's criticism of David A., and I usually agree completely with all of Simon's comments. I think David should record that song, it was great. Poor Brookey will be going home tonight, which is too bad, but it's her time to go, I think.

As usual, thanks for your A I recap :)

I agree with you 100% on your thoughts of the contestants. I would love if either of the David's won. Gotta love A.L.Webber night. Hopefully Brooke is gone tonight. She is starting to bother me :)
Aubry said…
I think your predictions are correct. I've been saying for a few weeks that the Davids will be the final 2.
JAMIE said…
I absolutely agree with EVERYTHING that you said....including the final 2, seems like it is heading that way. I will say I was SHOCKED tonight. Brooke should have gone home, Carly should have been the final 3 before finally.. Tonight should have been BRooke with Jason by her side. So sad, but my david's are still in it

I LOVE David A.

I wasn't surprised Brooke stayed (not saying she SHOULD have...I wonder if she did get some sympathy votes though...)
Kathy said…
kathy's #1 thing: david cook. amen.
Nichole said…
I was really surprised that Simon said what he said about David A. I have to agree with you...both David's were perfect. I think Brooke was safe because so many people felt bad for her. I'm sad to see Carly go but at this point all the people going home have amazing talent!
Danielle said…
Yup- Brooke should have gone home last night. I Loved everybody else, and her's was LAME!!! Where were her garments under that dress anyway? I mean, I know california girls pin and tuck, but WHAT?

Yeah, I'm judging.

Im sad Carly is gone. I guess there aren't a lot of JC superstar fans out there- even though she sang WELL.

Brooke- gone next week.

For some reason I have been a total slacker at watching American Idol! Shocking, I know! I love those videos! They both did such a great job!!!
Yeah, have to agree with you except about the David A performance. He did a good job, but I love the song done originally WAY better than the pop version. Just didn't do it for me, which is why I LOVED David C's performance. My favorite of the night (except the last two notes that he jazzed at the end, not so crazy about that).

Love that pic of Brooke's face you put up. I really LOVED Carly's voice, but I had to mute that song, I don't know maybe I'm weird. It just felt irreverent to me. I joked to Kendall and told him I thought she would go home because she offended Christians, then we laughed because she did get kicked off! Haha! I'm sure Christians weren't offended...or maybe they were....just kidding!

P.S. I'm sure you caught The Office last night...when Pam nailed Meredith in the head with that football, I almost peed my pants with laughter! Luckily didn't, I've been doing my elevator lifts haha!! (hopefully that was inside enough that people won't know what that means, oh well if it's not!)
