Songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber..David Archuletta should be in his element tonight...Oh God this is going to be a freaky night...He says he loves working with young people..I bet he does....
Randy said that he and Simon were talking about how this week is going to be..I think it is going to suck and its really not fair..
Seyesha Mercado...She should do good..I love this girl..I think she has one of the better voices in this....Showing her ring...Mic did not come up at first..Her voice is getting lost in parts....but she has a very strong voice..Made sure we did not get an up skirt shot....The song builds..I think the song sucks but she did a great job...9.. even with the screaming at the end.Randy said you could be a huge Broadway star..Paula said something about happy place...you brought the house down..Simon said it was very sexy..One of your strongest performances and lots of personality...I think she always does good..She is probably going off though.....
Jason Castro.....Wow the pre-interview with him is mind numbing....Singing Memories.....Being told to let himself go..I do not think he can pull it off.....Sitting on a chair..A little too breathy....he does not have the strength in his voice to pull this song off....He is not doing a bad job though..I would say a 7....Randy said...Wow said it was a train wreck and it was not his thing..too much melody..Paula said it is a power song and that is not who you are but a wise choice to do it and it makes no sense..Simon said it was the longest two minutes of your life...sounded like a forced wedding song...it was a struggle...not good for him but not really his fault..It would be like if they did a rap night....
Brooke White...Evita Song...Blew it right at the start....She stopped again and re-started...Seems a little flustered but it is building a little...It sounds a little talky but she is bringing it together...Stop the stupid posed people waving their hands in the front row...She may have been thrown by their cheesiness....Have to say that she did not do a bad job...7.5....Randy said check it out dog, but it was ok....Paula said do not start and stop even though they said it was ok last time....she said she did not over act... I have no idea what Paula..Simon said I love live TV because it was dramatic and uncomfortable..She seems like a really nice person...she looks ready to cry....could bve going home...I do like her hair this week....
David Archuletta up next...Waving like a Muppet before the break...Freak...He should do well though and maybe de-throne Clay in Spamalot.....Ok this is very creepy..Hugging David, who does his signature guffaw....Nice choice of the word if I do say so....I guess I get lost in the song...Wow this is pretty good though...So far he is on key and sounding like he could sing it on stage...His and Seyesha are the best of the night so far...The richness in his voice is coming out in this song..The song sucks and is hard to really really get into it but..I guess us Idol fans are being pushed.....9....made a sucky night in songs sound OK...As he closes to a standing O...Randy said yo...you are what this is about and it was a big night for you, it was the bomb and the one to beat..Paula said it was perfect....took a risk and made it a pop ballad..Simon said it was pleasant, a weak performance and will not be remembered but will get you through....
Ya know why House is a good show? It undergoes time changes and day changes and still does well in the ratings...Promote that show and not Bones....
Carly..Superstar?? She is going to do good here too cause she has the voice..I remember this song from the play...Dressed in 60's garb which is good. Short skirt....Good start and good in the less power chords..Nice demonstration of a strong voice but in the stanzas she is getting oversung by the music and back up singers..not her fault..strong voice..8.5.....Very good with some exceptions..Randy said yo check it...said it was not your best and it was good and the clothing was nice..Paula said it was unexpected and she loved the chorus..worst part..Simon said it got shouty and was one of the favs of the night...Carly had a funny Tshirt in the end...
Closing out the night..David Cook...Music of the Night...I do have to say that Lord Andrew does seem to be really coaching it...Breathy and talky...at first...not doing a really bad job...not going to be hurt by tonight..will make it to the next round for sure and actually did pretty good in the higher parts...Low register had its moments but not too bad..9....he is very planned out...Randy said that was amazing...Paula said you are very well rounded and fantastic...Simon said you made the most of the song that you were given...
Such a stupid night tonight....Recap on now....

I love, love, LOVE, Andrew Lloyd Weber and the night's been good. Syesha's performance was memorable and personable; Castro's was hideous. It was painful to watch him utterly butcher 'Memory.' Archuleta was good - I liked the arrangement. It was appropriate for him and he sang it well. Brooke? Ouch. There was that false start and she seemed to lose her nerve afterward. Carly had a fair night. I liked the dress, and she made the performance seem easy - I do agree that there was an inordinate amount of shouting at one point, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. My favorite, though, was David. He sang the signature song from my favorite Broadway production (Phantom)and he did not suck. That in and of itself made me happy, but then he went and actually sang. it. well. Wow. It was quite good. I'm even happier. Great show. I vehemently disagree with the blog master. Tonight's theme was phenomenal.
Whoever your anonymous blogger friend was- block her. AWFUL NIGHT.
