Interesting night of performances. I’ve come to the conclusion that variety in the contestants is at least as important as quality in making the show entertaining, and the guys have variety this year.
1. Dave Cook(His best so far. Consistent performer who has been decent at worst)
2. David Hernandez(Thought he did a good job with that song)
3. David Archuleta(IMO, one of his weaker performance but he’s still good. I’ve found something to criticize though—that odd tongue thing he does about every other phrase is sort of toad-like; hadn’t noticed it until tonight but it bugged me once I did.)
4. Michael Johns(Not a great voice but a good performer)
5. Chikeze(Good singer but he’s boring which may be his downfall)
6-7(tie) Jason Castro(not a great voice or even a very good voice and no fantastic performing skills, but his ease while performing makes him difficult to dislike. Agree with Paula that his phrasing is his strength.) Luke Menard(A good singer but his voice is a bit too high pitched for me to really like him.)
8.Danny Noriega(For some reason I thought he could sing, but he’s done nothing since he made it to the top 24 to convince me that he can. And he’s consistently annoying.)
Who should go: Danny Noriega and Luke Menard or Jason Castro
Who will go: I’m going to say Danny Noriega and Chikeze
I agree. Or it will be one of them and Luke.
