Okay... I was basically listening to the show rather than watching, as I was working on some publishing business (artists, see tagline) on the computer.

David C. - Solid, safe choice for song #1. Delivered pretty well on song #2.

Syesha - Song #1 sounded "theme-park performance" to me. Second song did little to make me pay attention. Did I actually hear her compare her journey on AI to the civil rights movement???

Jason - If he'd put down the bong, he might remember the words. Going for the stoner vote won't help enough, just ask Ron Paul or the Libertarian Party.

David A. - "Stand By Me"? Oh, there's a shocker. "Love Me Tender" was slightly less predictable a choice, though not in execution. The King is probably still spinning in his gravy... er... grave.

At this point, I'm getting bored. Cook is the only real, marketable talent left, and he's better off not winning.

Good analysis, kev.

Yes, she did. I've been reading on another Idol forum and not one poster thought her civil rights/journey/tears scene was real. One pointed out the two long sit-downs they had with her, plus letting her go on again about the civil rights meaning and then keeping her on stage during the waterworks. Was it manipulated to ensure she got the needed votes to eliminate Dreads?

Speaking of, I watched his performances again today and thought that Tambourine Man was very good. The forgetting the words part (hello, David A.) didn't bother me at all...Bob D. mumbles sometimes, too.
