It is down to 9 Contestants and overall they are sounding pretty good. Last night all the contestants sang Dolly Parton songs, I didn’t know she had written so many songs. I atually even voted for the first time last night. I voted for Brooke White about 10 times. As usual here are my thoughts on last nights performers starting with my favourite:
- David Archuleta - David sang “Smoky Mountain Memories” and it was, I thought the best perfomance of the whole season 7. I really want to hear the full length studio version when it becomes available on youtube.
- Brooke White - Brooke sang “Jolene” and Eventhough the judges didn’t think it was her best performance I really enjoyed it.
- Syesha Mercado - Syesha sang “I Will Always Love You”, I actually liked her version more than Whitney Houston’s.
- Carly Smithson - Carly sang “Here You Come Again”. She has such a beautiful voice which is a little like Celine Dion’s.
- David Cook - David sang “Little Sparrow” and as Simon said he sang a song about sparrows and made it good. I thought it was funny how they worked it into the show for David Cook to pretty much credit each band he had borrowed renditions from. I guess they had to do it for fears of lawsuits.
- Jason Castro - Jason sang “Travelin Thru”. This is the best he has been for a few weeks!
- Michael Johns- Michael sang “It’s All Wrong But It’s Alright”, the judges seemed to think it was his best performance so far. I think he’s a great singer but I didn’t really like his performance last night.
- Kristy Lee Cook - Kristi sang “Coat Of Many Colors”, I think with a better song she could have done a better performance seen how county music is her style.
- Ramiele Malubay - Ramiele sang “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind”. She was alright I just didn’t enjoy it as much as the others.
My prediction for the bottom three are Ramiele, Kristy and Jason with Ramiele going home.

I like reading your overviews of AI since I never get to watch it (Hubby doesn’t like it lol). I usually watch some on youtube when they get posted.

As you could tell from My Blog - David Archuleta is my favourite out of all the contestans who have ever been on American Idol. I liked Clay Aitken and carrie Underwood alot as well. I loved his performance last night.
I am also rooting for Brooke White and also really liked Syesha’s rendition of “I will always love you”. It was unfair of Simon to compare it to Whitny’s - she made it her own.
I also agree with your bottom 3 predictions.

My husband used to complain about American Idol and would just play computer games while I watched. Now he’s watching the show with me and we usually end up talking about our thoughts about the show and predicting who will go home the rest of the night.

Right you on girl! Your prediction of who went home came through.

I was surprised to see Brooke on the bottom 3 though. The first time I actually vote for her and she ends up on the bottom 3!

I was surprised to see Brooke in the bottom 3 last night! I know she didn’t have her best performance on Tuesday, but come on! Well, at least she’s still around.

I’m bummed that I didn’t get to see it either night this week. I also enjoy reading your Idol reviews. You were right this week! I’ve never voted!
