Oh, the horror that was... Mariah Carey week. I do not understand how Idol can criticize contestants for 6 seasons for attempting to sing the songs of Whitney, Mariah and Celine then turn around and force them on the contestants this season. This was not fair to any of the Idols. Why Mariah Carey? Just because someone has had a successful career does not mean that a theme should be devoted to them. Mariah's dog, J.J., was cute though. :)
The Best
Jason Castro - "I Don't Wanna Cry"
It started a little rough but once again my favorite stoner kicked up his game a notch this week. His voice was much stronger than anything that he has shown us before. He showed much more range and seemed very comfortable on stage this week. His look was more polished this week as well. Should make it through this week.
David Cook - "Always Be My Baby"
When I read that this was the song that David was going to sing I was very afraid. Guess I didn't need to be. USAToday's Idol Chatter predicted emo-rock at it's finest this week from him and they called it. It had a very dark almost scary quality to it but it worked wonderfully. This was very far removed from the original once again proving that this boy can sing (as long as he stays away from the really low notes). Someone in the audience held a sign that read, "Hello.... Is it me your looking for?" which was cool. Hopefully, he will sail through this week. I am ready to buy his album now. Right now.
The Worst
The Archuleter - "When You Believe"
This song was from The Prince of Egypt. It is a horrible movie and this is a heinous song. If you have seen the movie, then you know that I am so right. What better thing to do with drivel like this then to throw it to Weezy to huff and puff his way through. At one point I actually thought he might pass out from lack of oxygen. It was very appropriate that his lizard lips routine made a comeback this week since the judges once again insisted on giving him a tongue bath while pimping him to the audience.
Syesha Mercado - "Vanishing"
I have never heard this song before so based on what Syesha shared with us tonight it consists of the words "vanishing" and "whoa-oh-oh" and lots of yelling. She never seems original because she is not.
Carly Smithson - "Without You"
I disagreed with Randy on this one. The beginning was controlled and very good then she panicked, went into Mariah mode, and screamed out the end of the song. Sigh. They also showed her freak of a husband this week. Maybe the theories that they are showing her husband in order to help get her the boot are true. She certainly didn't do herself any favors this week.
The Rest
Seabiscuit - "Forever"
Not her worst performance and not her best. Over all it was pretty good. She could release this version to radio and it would probably be a hit.
Brooke White - "Hero"
This was once again a consistent Brooke performance. She brought back the instruments and made this song her own. There was the stumble with the piano playing towards the end of the song, but good over all. I did not get the hamburger analogy from the judges.
Should Go
Syesha or Carly
Will Go
Syesha or Carly Though I would not be opposed to Lizard Lips taking a walk (I know.... it's never going to happen. That's okay. He can win and then release one album before getting dropped from the label like previous Idol winners that have come before him).
Dial Idol Predictions
Safe: David Cook, Lizard Lips, Jason Castro and Seabiscuit.
Bottom 3: Carly, Brooke and Syesha.
