David Archuleta Rocks “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”!!!
I turned on “American Idol” this evening and they are really building up the whole David Cook Versus David Archuleta battle! They even started the show with each of them coming out in boxing gloves. And although the two singers were very gracious towards one another, tonight’s show really is the brawl for it all!
David Cook did a great job on his opening song, but David Archuleta absolutely blew his version of ”Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” out of the box (to quote Randy Jackson)! And I’m so overwhelmed by Archuleta that I can not for the life of me remember what Cook sang for his opening song.
And Simon Cowell really said it best, “Round one goes to David Archuleta.”
Has American Idol Lost it’s Mojo?
“American Idol” had it all this season — talented singers, a David Archuleta for the prepubescent crowd, visits from pop royalty, stinging comments from Simon Cowell as usual, and jaw-dropping commentary from Paula Abdul. With all that provided on the show, why have some fans and observers found it a dull slog as the show builds to its David Archuleta vs. David Cook finale on Wednesday?
It seems contestants who were good but not memorable made for only mediocre television, according to show watchers. Where was the drama, the unpredictability, the oddball personalities? Where was the fun? I can’t believe I’m saying this… but maybe the show needs more idiots like Sanjaya?
David Archuleta Photos from Salt Lake City
If you are a David Archuleta fan, then you probably watched “American Idol” on Wednesday and saw them take a trip home with him to Salt Lake City, Utah. As moving as this trip home with David was, and as consistent as this kid has been over the season, something about him is totally off. The few times I have caught the show (OK, I watch it religously and even moderate the forums), David Archuleta has seemed completely clueless.
He really does have talent, but it also seems like he’s really well “baked.” You know, graaaass maaaaan. I’m not saying he’s a drug user, but he needs to wake up and smell the f#&king coffee! Actually, it might help if he took a couple puffs. But on the bright side, this dude has 13-year old girls throwing themselves at him and he’s still got a year before it’s not legal anymore.
But forget him, vote for David Cook — because he deserves to win!
Important Analysis of Top Eight Guys on American Idol
It’s a fight for the final six guys! Eight guys are chasing six spots for the top twelve, but two are on their way out after tonight! Who the hell is it going to be — and who’s going to be your next “American Idol?” The ladies perform tonight.
Overall, I have to say the show was pretty solid. There were some good performances, but I’m thinking “idle” overall, not “Idol.” Let’s go through the contestants in the order in which they performed:
Luke Menard — Luke fails to deliver a good performance once again. Randy Jackson called it “karaoke” and that, in my opinion, is a compliment!
David Archuleta — We all know he’s a front-runner, but his performance this week was not nearly as good as the week prior. He was good, but I was expecting amazing once again. He aint going nowhere but up!
Danny Noriega — This guy is a loser! I hate everything about him. Oh, and his singing sucked!
David Hernandez — He didn’t take off any clothes like in his stripping past, but he should have taken his ass right off the stage. Sorry, this guy is not going to go much further.
Michael Johns — Michael did a good job, but he’s not going to win at the end. A good and stable performance.
David Cook — David rocked the house! He looked like a rock star and he sounded like one, as well. His performance this week may keep him around for quite some time. He gained a lot of fans this week!
Jason Castro — He did better than last week, but it wasn’t quite there. Simon “loved it,” but I wasn’t blown away. We got to see him with his guitar, but something about him is not saying, “Idol.”
Chikeze — This guy is good, but doesn’t have a shot at winning it. He’s consistently become better and better, but I think he, Luke, and/or Danny get their golden tickets home on this week. Sorry jacuzi, I mean Chikeze.
Guys ranked by last night’s performances:
- David Cook
- David Archuleta
- Michael Johns
- Jason Castro
- Chikeze
- David Hernandez
- Danny Noriega
- Luke Menard
Idol: It’s Brooke White Versus David Archuleta
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!
The Guys Rock American Idol, Dawg!
On the first real night of season 7 “American Idol,” the guys hit the stage and performed songs from the ’60s. Of course, some of them “made it their own” and others were harshly criticized for not. Overall, I wasn’t impressed at all, but 3 to 4 of these guys have the pipes (not those) to get the job done!
The Big Three Guys on Idol:
- David Archuleta sang “Shop Around” and he may be looking for a new mansion!
- Jason Castro sang “What a Day for a Daydream” with his guitar and dreamed big!
- Michael Johns sang “Light My Fire” and lit the judges up in a good way!
These three guys received nothing but praise from Randy, Paula, and Simon, and look to be on their way! But what will the ladies do tonight?
Idol Men Who Suck:
- Danny Noriega singing “Jailhouse Rock” did not!
- Garrett Haley is wasting my time!
