The Top 7 perform
American Idol, Brooke White, Carly Smithson, David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro, Kristy Lee Cook, Mariah Carey, recap Add commentsAfter the surprising twist last week, (Michael Johns got the boot) American Idol is back with the last 7 contestants. Mariah Carey is this week’s mentor.
Bring on Mooriah!
Randy wants to judge fairly and hopefully the contestants do not want to sound like good ol’ M. Carey.
First up is David Archuleta. David doesn’t feel he’s worthy to be in the presence of Mooriah. Goodness, Archuleta, get a grip.
David Archuleta sings “When You Believe”.
Randy was worried about tonight, but David can sing anything.
Paula believes he made Mariah proud tonight
Simon knew David would chose that song, and Archuleta performed that song really well.
Sometimes, David is so nervous on performance night, he doesn’t eat. (That’s why he’s so small, I guess)
Carly Smithson sings “Without You”. Carly says it was really boring without Michael Johns this week and everyone misses him.
Mariah seems to like Carly and thinks Carly sounds really good. Well, it’s hard for the girls to sing Carey songs, because it’s easier to compare them to her. I didn’t like Carly’s version of the song, but at least I don’t have to look at her tattoos tonight.
Randy likes that Carly challenges herself with that song, the beginning wasn’t as good.
Paula likes that Carly showed some vocal restraint, and Carly made it her own.
Simon really wanted to hear Carly sing that song. But Carly couldn’t pull the song off. It was just an okay version.
Carly enjoyed singing the song and tried to sing it as if not millions of people were watching her.
Syesha Mercado sings “Vanishing”, let’s hope Syesha won’t be the one vanishing tomorrow night.
Mariah thinks Syesha made a good song choice, and Syesha was very cool.
Syesha looks very pretty tonight, in a golden dress and matching earrings. She sings good, too.
Randy believes the song was a tough song, but she did a good job on it. Some pitchy problems.
Paula thinks Syesha won’t be compared to the song, because it’s not widely know, ocerall great.
Simon says technically very good indeed, but bad song choice, and Syesha runs a risk.
Brooke White sings “Hero”. Brooke missed her sister’s wedding and was very sad about it.
Mariah wrote Hero for Gloria Estefan. Mariah thinks the song is a good choice for broke and she should sing it from her heart.
Brooke sings, playing the piano, a very pure sounding version of the song. Brooke hits some high notes, but overall, it feels a little flat. What will the judges say?
Randy liked the whole singer/songwriter look, but
Paula thinks Brooke very authentic, and Paula thought the “unplugged” version sounded good, even though some notes were off.
Simon thinks it was like ordering a hamburger, and only getting the bun. Brooke’s voice isn’t strong enough for that song. Sort of like the meat was missing.
Next is Kristy Lee Cook. She sings “Forever”. Kristy wears a golden dress, too. Seems to be the color of the night.
Mariah likes Kristy, and Mariah said Kristy sang the song better than herself. Also, Kristy gave Mariah goosebumps with her singing. Right.
Randy says it was a bit pitchy, but she stepped toward the end of the song.
Paula says Kristy is very smart and Paula thinks she could have many country hits.
Simon says he didn’t gave him chills, too whiny, and it just wasn’t great.
Why, oh why, is Kristy still in the race, when Michael Johns isn’t? Sigh.
David Cook. He sings “Always be my Baby”.
As always, David Cook delivers a very unique version of the song. Very cool.
Randy says David Cook is a hot artist, and gives him standing ovations.
Paula says David’s IT.
Simon says David’s performance was a breath of fresh air.
And David is moved to tears! That’s kinda sweet. If David Cook won’t win the whole thing, I’d be surprised.
Last is Jason Castro with “I Don’t Wanna Cry.” Uhm, not good.
Randy didn’t love it. He didn’t get it.
Paula likes Jason’s confidence and he’s amazing.
Simon agrees with Paul, not the best vocal, but a cool version of the song. And - the guys won the night!
Bottom three predictions: I want Kristy to go, but my bottom three are Jason Castro, Brooke White and Carly Smithson.
Who get’s the boot and goes home? Well, after the fiasco with Michael Johns, no one is safe, but I guess it will be Jason Castro going home.

yeeeaahh…. ok dude. reality check. mariah is an icon.

I want brook, christy and david “arch” gone…they sent home great singers and kept the blond hayseeds…give me a break…michael johns is three times the singer with a hundred times more stage presence than either of these carry underwood wannabes…if the country is voting to keep brook and christy, they must be the same ones that voted bush in for a second term…ps…and the first…
I have lost all faith in american idol…as a true vision of talented people…please america renew my faith..
by the way, since when did tatoos have anything to do with ones singing ability…
