American Idol 7 Recap - April 29, 2008

I Like It I Don't Like It
Tonight was Neil Diamond night on American Idol 7, as the popular singer mentored the Top 5 through their two song choices. Of note, some chick was holding up a sign in the audience that read "My husband has a man-crush on Seacrest." Sweetie, your husband doesn't have a man-crush; he's a flamer.



As well, after the first round of songs, the judges were asked to give their opinions of the first songs sung, Paula Abdul, the sober one of the bunch, goes on a tangent about how she enjoyed Jason Castro's first performance but thought the second one was better. Problem is that the second one had yet to happen. Give her another bourbon.

Now let's get to the performances:





Jason Castro
Sang: Forever in Blue Jeans AND September Morn
Ugh! Please someone put this guy out of his misery. The redundancy of his sound shone through this evening because he had two performances and sounded exactly the same in both, despite the varying lyrics. It was atrocious, to say the least.






David Cook
Sang: I'm Alive AND All I Really Need Is You
The first performance was blah so I spent my time wondering why the letters AC were on his jacket and guitar. Then I figured that it was his brother's initials (he's suffering from brain cancer). But David managed to knock it out of the ballpark with his second performance. It was sex incarnate.





Brooke White
Sang: I'm A Believer AND I Am... I Said
Brooke is, how do you say? Strange. She comes out for her first performance belting out the song essentially made popular by the recent Shrek movies, and it was laughable at best. But then she showed off why she's still there with her second performance, sitting by the piano and wearing her heart on her sleeve.





David Archuleta
Sang: Sweet Caroline AND America
Monotonous and predictable (God I hope his dad doesn't hunt me down and beat me), David sang the only way he knows how and the judges ate it up. His second performance was a very smart choice (Simon Cowell agrees) and I'm sure he'll sail on through to the Top 4.





Syesha Mercado
Sang: Hello Again AND Thank the Lord For the Nighttime
I thought it bizarre that Neil Diamond asked her for a hug after she showed him what she can do (he probably just wanted a good breast squish), but Syesha really showed off her talent tonight with two very different performances that were equally impressive. I think that Simon is right that she's going to be in the bottom tomorrow, but it's not because she's bad; it's because she's just not as popular as the rest of the crew.

My predictions for who's going home:
Syesha Mercado (but I wish it was Jason Castro)

  • david cook is going to make it big time.
    he has an amazing voice.
    david cook can sing fast and slow
    songs and makes them
    interesting while
    muskrat david archuleta can't
    sing worth a crap
    and can only sing slow songs.
    david archuleta's voice is too
    immature like his personality.

    No David A!!!! Cook all the way! If Archeleta wins its not that he has a better voice its that all the teeny boppers are going to stay up late and vote!
