“For the songs Davd Cook had I think he knocked it out the park on all three. With the short amount of time he had with each song he brought it 100%.
“As for little David he when he tried to hip it up it was like ok so you only had 5 Prozac today instead of the usual 10.”

*snort!* Yeah, cuttin’ back on the meds really perked him up — not!

I am too lazy to write up my own review so I will just piggyback onto yours, if I may, since I agree with you 100 percent. I was very happy with David C’s performances tonight. I thought before tonight that he could do very well with “The First Time” and I’m very pleased to see I was right. The final note on that was quite impressive — right in tune, full, rounded — hard to do for male singers on such a high note. And I was especially happy with DC’s final song. Nice, nice work. My husband (who watches AI with me only so that he can make fun of most of the contestants and tell me why they suck) went so far as to say he might buy DC’s first album!

As for Syesha, I thought her first two songs were very nicely done, though there is some quality about her that screams “Broadway” rather than “recording artist.” For me, that’s not a problem, though obviously Simon doesn’t care for it.

(In a total nitpick, I must say that Syesha’s first dress, the long one, while sparkly and obviously expensive, made her look like a sack of potatoes! Her waist looked huge and her, ahem, accessories looked like they belonged on a fifty-year-old who had nursed ten children. The dress did not fit her correctly at all. The wardrobe mistress should be shot!)

As for little Monchichi, I thought you summed up his performance quite well. Poor kid. I do think many of his issues are due to age and lack of maturity. I hope he stays in the business and gets a really good mentor (obviously, that rules out his dad! LOL!) so that he can achieve his potential. I’d like to hear him sing in ten years.
