American Idol Top 7 Performances
Its Wednesday and once again, and this means its American Idol performance day! The Top 7 Idol hopefuls will be tackling Mariah Carey songs this week! Again, thanks to Rickey, we were able to get the updates as they happen!
Opening the show this week is David Archuleta with the song When You Believe. Great song choice for David A. I was wondering for days what song he would choose because admittedly, Mariah’s song are mostly high pitch songs, but he was able to pick the right song. OMG! Brilliant performance! He was able to make his own version of the song. Wondeful falsetto! I didnt know he could do that! Bravo!
Next is Carly Smithson with the song Without You. As Simon would put it, "It’s the guy’s night! it would be a lot tougher for the girls because there will be comparison…" According to Rickey, "They finally threw Carly Smithson under the bus…" (This was his same comment to Ramiele 2 weeks ago and she went home) For me, it was one of Carly’s best vocals! But singing after David Archuleta did affect the perception of the judges and the audience. I can not accept this! Carly leaving the show even before Kristy Lee Cook and Brooke White! This is insane! Lets vote for Carly, 1-866-IDOLS-02
3rd on the list is Syesha Mercado with the song Vanishing. Really weird song choice. She was able to give justice to the song. The song was able to showcase her powerful voice. It was an ok performance for me. The judges are being unfair with Carly. They’re expecting too much from Carly! I think Syesha will be good for another week or two.
Midway thru the list is Brooke White with the song Hero. Very unique version of the song, sounds a bit country. She used the piano again, and she fumbled a little in the end. Its like listening to a karaoke bar performance of the song. I think she’s in danger this week. I hope she goes instead of Carly.
After Brooke is Kristy Lee Cook with the song Forever. Another obscure song choice. It was a safe performance for Kristy. At this point, safe performance is a no-no. You should give your 100%. I think we have the bottom 3 all lined up! (so far…) I hope she leaves before Carly.
Second to the last performance of the night was from David Cook with the song Always Be My Baby. OMG! Wonderful version from Mr. Cook! Are we seeing a Archuleta-Cook finals showdown? His performance was awesome! Hot from his Billy Jean song, he gave another huge performance for the night! Way the go! He was in tears after hearing praises from the judges. He showed his soft side. Mr Cook is your next American Idol! Lets vote for David Cook, 1-866-IDOLS-06
Closing the show is Jason Castro with the song I Dont Wanna Cry. Singing after that explosive performance from Mr Cook will be tough, but Jason was able to pull it thru. He has the talent and skill to tackle the song. Another unique arrangement for a classic. Very good performance. He’s safe for this week.
The guys completely won the night! One of the girls will be going home this week. (Guys, lets not be too complacent!) My bottom 3 this week will be Carly, Brooke and Kristy.
I dont want Carly to go home! Lets support Carly and the guys!
Signing out my blog. Over and out.
