That was a strange show last night.

Ranking them:

1. Kristy(Didn’t think she’d be able to convincingly perform that Martina song, but she pretty much did. Gets the top ranking partly because the others were so weak last night though)
2. Michael(Did okay. He’s not a great singer but he picked the right song for himself)
3. Jason(Worked because it was a decent arrangement[that few people had heard before] of a familiar song)
4. Brooke(Lackluster but still better than most last night)
5. David A.(Thought the first part of the song was weak but his voice was good after he opened up midway though the song)
6. Syesha(Decent singer but just boring yet again)
7. Carly(Poor song choice and her weakest performance so far. She’s much better than that.)
8. David C.(Worst of the night. Very poor song choice. Not sure what happened with him since he’s been so good the past few weeks. Overconfidence, perhaps.)

Who should go: Syesha
Who will go: Syesha(if not her then Carly)

I am really thankful that I was late watching the show....so I was able to DVR it...............and fast forward was totally necessary since last night's theme was Inspirational Songs, and it could not have been more cheesy. 

Actually....tonight's stupid show I think, will make last night's "cheesiness" pale in comparison.  "Idol Gives Back" will be THE cheesiest in history...so I'll be passing on that.  I don't care to hear the "liberal" agenda OR their songs.

And how many thought that Paula's boobs were going to pop out of that dress and join the idols on stage for a song?   Someone needs to fire her wardrobe consultant...I think her dress was a bit too tight.

Anyway....HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THE TOP 8:


Michael Johns - "Dream On"

Dream On....was what I was doing while he was singing.  I thought he did pretty good and I like his stage presence and enjoy his voice.  I am liking him the best out of all who are left.

Syesha Mercado - "I Believe"

I believe Idol contestants are just stupid, when they pick past Idol contestants songs to sing.  At least her voice isn't as annoying as Fantasia's...but I did fast forward through most of it...I just couldn't take it.  I'm not likin' the diva thing.

Jason Castro - "Somewhere over the Rainbow"

Somewhere over the rainbow someone is smoking some doobage. I said it before and I'll say it again, no matter what instrument he's strumming, he still sounds the same. And those dreads.....no thank you.

Kristy Lee Cook - "Anyway"

Anyway you look at it, I really liked her performance tonight. She didn't do so well in the softer parts of the song, but man can she belt it out.  Country suits her best.

David Cook - "Innocent"

Innocent he is not...and he sucked tonight.  Ugh...again, I had to fast forward. And that jacket looked like a straight jacket on backwards.  I'm glad the judges knocked him down, for once.  He is NOT all that.  And when he showed the message on his hand...I reached for my barf bag.  Oh and I'd like for someone to give ME back those 5 minutes I had to endure watching him sing so terribly.

Carly Smithson - "The Show Must Go On"

The show must go on and IMO girls should not be singing Queen songs to do it. I didn't like Carly's version and she is too much like a Celin Dion wannabe, that I'm totally turned off to her now. And does she own any shirts with sleeves?  I do however, like the makeover with her hair.  She needed bangs.

David Archuleta - "Angel"

He's so good at acting like the little angel....it makes me want to hurl.  I just can't stand that stupid grin he always has.  And I hate how the judges pimp him now.  He is NOT that great.  Yes, we get it, he can sing, but I wouldn't buy a record or a song of his, even if you paid me.  His songs all sound the same, and they are so booooorrrrriiiinnng, not to mention most have a "message" I'd rather not hear.  I forwarded through most of his song...so I didn't catch all the "runs"...thank God.

Brooke White - "You've Got a Friend"
Well I don't have a friend in my damn DVR...right as she's about to sing, it cuts off.  What's with that?  It happened on "Dancing with the Stars" too.  Just as they are about to announce who is getting kicked off ....it cuts off.  How annoying.  I had to go online to see Adam Corolla got booted - bummer.  He was SO entertaining and funny...I'll miss him.  But I digress, I missed Brookes performance. Something tells me though that I didn't miss much...and it probably sounded like all her other songs do.

Gotta love Paula's.....

Syesha should go. Carly needs better songs and has the most talent, which is why she won't last. She should do some Annie Lennox. Thew two blonde girls...talk about pitch problems. I'm surprised when they are on pitch.
