No real surprises there. I only feel that it is a shame that Kristy Lee Cook went out when she was actually getting better each week. I think that she was finding her own as a country/pop singer, and was doing a nice job of it.
This week was Andrew Lloyd Webber week. Wow. Talk about intimidating. "Umm... yes, hello your Lordship, please allow me to massacre your song for you..."
Jason Castro is still adorable. Bless his baby heart, he had no idea that Cats was about, well CATS!
Of course his quote on Lennon-McCartney week got me into a fit of giggles, too. He sang, Michelle, ma belle.
And said something like this- don't take a big drink of a fizzy drink right now- "I didn't know it was french. I just thought it was, you know, 'mah bell.'" {in Texan drawl} Oh, we laughed hysterically about that for a while!!! Gotta love him. He can grin his way into our hearts on those days where the song just eludes him. So, this week he did Memories, probably one of the most well-known songs of Lord Webber, and, well, he kind of botched it, but his fans didn't let him down and we will be hearing from him again next week. Please bring your guitar, Jason. We can't resist it!
Brooke White lost the lyric and started over. It was a lackluster performance. Her fan base is huge, so she is staying with us. I have to say that I sent a few mercy-votes her way because I really like her Carly Simon/Carole King vibe. It brings out my Inner Hippie.
The Davids Dominated the Night!
Below is David Archuleta's take on Think of Me. Being a total Phantom of the Opera fan, it really moved me. He shook it up and made it his own, and for me, even though I am a Phantom purist, it was truly amazing.
David Cook surprised us all by not rearranging The Music of the Night. I was a little worried because it didn't have his stamp on it at first, but it was so totally moving, and as Randy said it was a "molten hot lava bomb!" Enjoy
Syesha Mercado was amazing. She really hit it with her Broadway style. I think that she will do great in the Big Apple, but she is just not my idea of The American Idol.
It's almost an after-thought that we are saying good-bye to Carly Smithson. I used to really like her. She has an amazing voice, but I am just not feeling it.

I'm a Carly fan... but it doesn't really matter when she goes because she is not going to win it anyway. :) I'm so ready for Syesha to go home-- don't like her.
I'm really ready for it to come down to Jason, David and David. That would be ideal.
I appreciate all these updates, even though I don't watch. Thanks.
Oh, NOOO! The videos wouldn't work for me! *Nancy Face sulks* :(
"Mah bell" is Hilarious! :D
Fixed the video problem! Sorry.
I'm just wondering if Jason can sing standing up? I'm kinda bored with the sitting on a stool thing.
I think it will be David, David and Jason, like Chel said.
Go David Cook!
I don't watch, but I catch little updates here and there. That Archuleta kid is precious, and with the Phantom song, WOW. I got goosebumps!
I thought it was disappointing that Carly and Syesha were in the bottom two this week. They both sang very well and others really struggled. It really shows that it is a popularity contest at this stage and not a talent contest. I am psyched because David C. is still in because I do think he is the most original and talented!
Thank you for fixing the videos! I LOVED them both...WOW! :D
I have never seen American Idol, but I just watched the clip from David Archuleta's performance, and I am in love.
The End.
I don't watch either, but love to see you update your blog. How's the family doing? Take Care.
Wow! Two mormons on American Idol, and they can ♪SING♪!!! Vote for Brooke and David Archuleta!♫
