1 - Luke Menard: I thought the song choice fit his style right, its just that his style wont take him any further than tomorrows elimination.
2 - David Archuleta: Another great job, but a notch below last week. While hes still ahead of the pack, the spread has been narrowed. Everything about the way he does his thing perfectly embodies Emo, and since this style is all the rage right now its probably his race to lose.
3 - Danny Noriega: I still like his personality but his performances are becoming a parody. I suspect he’ll get the boot behind Luke.
4 - David Hernandez: Nowhere near as good as last week, but decent for such a cheesy song choice. Its his style after all, which he owns with authority.
5 - Michael Johns: Most of the others can outsing him but he IS becoming interesting, albeit not fast enough. He still looks like he’s mimicking Morrison, but last night his vocals reminded me of a little known 80s singer named Tim Capello, who did a song for the Lost Boys soundtrack called “I Still Believe”.
6 - David Cook: A very odd song choice that worked almost TOO well. Hard rock meets lite rock. Basically, more Emo-style stuff. And because of it, he gets best performance of the night. He just went from second to last place among the guys to second place among them all.
7 - Jason Castro: I dont know if Id call it ‘brilliant’, but it certainly was nicely done. Whatever points he lost missing a few of the notes he made back in spades for pure emoting. NOT EMO, but EMOTING. He really looks like he gets lost in his performance, and that translates well. He comes off like a doof & an airhead, but also very gentle & sweet. Naieve & oblivious, though well-intentioned.
8 - Chikese: I thought he kicked ass, again. Granted, I think he chose another song that he was already comfortable singing. I definitely thought he did better than any of the judges said; and Simon ruling him out just because Whitney happened to have sung the same song at one point was just plain stupid. No one is allowed to sing ANYTHING that Whitney ever sang once, unless they can blow her outta the water? Whatever - Id like to see WHITNEY even try to sing her own songs now.
