Monchichi: "I don't know why he [Simon] didn't think I chose that song." (eyes darting)
No mention of David Cook's exact copy of Chris Cornell's arangement of Billie Jean, just praise from the judges. Getting all the credit.
Now to the results:
Seacrest again calls the singers tot he stage, one-by-one.
Chikezie is the first one out. And he's the first one in The Bottom Three. He knew it too.
Brooke is safe.
Next Carly: "I was not on my game last night."
She's safe.
That's it for now. Chikezie sits alone with a doomed expression on his face.
SO while we areall waiting with baited breath....does anyone know if there is a live thread for “TOP CHEF”? LOL I tend to go into withdrawl after this show ends, and I noted that that show is on immediately after this one, and that show has FOOD! ;-)
Carly wasn’t “on her game” last night because she was wearing Spankz....to look thinner....she and Monchichi make me cranky.
In all fairness, with all the other crap that the contestants go through during the week, coming up with an original arrangement every week is not a real option. You have to pick your song and add a twist or two.
When Seacrest announced him last night, he did say "And now performing Chris Cornell's version of "Billie Jean", David Cook"
So while David Cook did not come out and say "I want to give credit to Chris Cornell", there was credit given.
Well, the copyright law sez Cornell only has rights to control his own recording (with royalties to the original rights holder) and David Cook didn't play the Cornell recording and try to take credit for it.
