Idol: It’s Brooke White Versus David Archuleta

 Brooke White

Last night on “American Idol,” Brooke White arguably deleirved the best girls performance and in doing so won the approval of the judges. Brooke appears to be the only girl in a position to rival the guy favorite, David Archuleta.

Brooke White sang “You’re So Vain” as she played her guitar and looked at judge Simon Cowell. Randy Jackson and judge/returned-singer Paula Abdul thought the song went perfectly with her voice and Simon said he “absolutely loved it.”

Carly Smithson sang “Crazy On You.” Randy Jackson thought the beginning was a bit rough, but the performance was great. Paula Abdul said she did a great job, of course. Simon even said he believes she is the girl to beat, but that was prior to Brooke’s superior performance.

Kristy Lee Cook was definitely the most improved of the week — and she sang “You’re No Good.” Randy said it was a “100% improvement,” and we all agree! 

Ladies Night Brings Out the Stars on American Idol

 Ladies Night Brings Out the Stars on American Idol

Rampant flu-like illness may have plagued the ladies of “American Idol,” but that didn’t stop them from showing up for the very first “Ladies’ Night.” From watching their performances, it looked like 6 of the 12 women could be real contenders down the stretch and were,  overall, better than the guy’s Idol performances. The rest of the Idol ladies can start packing their bags. Here’s what I got:

The Idols that really shined:

  • Brooke White singing “So Happy Together” was a solid, happy song! 
  • Asia’h Epperson singing ”Piece of My Heart” made Janice Joplin smile! 
  • Amanda Overmeyer singing “Baby Please Don’t Go,” and she won’t!
  • Ramiele Malubay singing “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” was loved by all!
  • Syesha Mercado singing “Tobacco Road” is on the road to victory! 

Those Idols that really let us down:

  • Alexandrea Lushington singing “Spinning Wheel,” but the wheels fell off! 
  • Carly Smithson singing “The Shadow of Your Smile,” but she was shadowed by real singers!
