American Idol – Season 7 – Top 4
Greetings Idol Fans!
After a week long hiatus (yes I know you missed me my Idol darlings) I’m back with vengence and a couple of snide comments!! It’s down to the top 4 people, this is the big time now!
On to the show!
David Cook

First Song: Out of all the rock and roll hits in all the world, DC chooses “Hungry Like The Wolf” by Duran Duran. Now I’m all for a little Simon Lebone, but seriously? It’s the least original I’ve ever heard him. I do have a bigger problem with the balding one this week. Some little girl screamed at the top of her lungs “I Love You David” and the best he coudl do was to look down his nose and smirk?
Second Song: So when they said he was singing “Baba O’Reily by the Who, I think, “Awesome, the dude is going to rock it.” So I wait for the intro… starts slow, so I wait for more… huh, still sort of dull. The middle must be going to blow the roof off… so I wait… yeah, no, not so much. I don’t understand, how could a self proclaimed rocker, just leave a classic by the Who just sort of hanging there? Ah well, I don’t think CSI:Miami will be calling him anytime soon for a guest appearance.
Syesha Mercado

First Song: So as the only female left in this circus, she really has to bring something. Unfortunately she decides to cover the Tina Turner classic”Proud Mary.” So she starts out pretty strong on the intro, but…. wait… oh god she did it…. she did the Tina swim! Proud Mary please help us, she did the Tina swim.
Second Song: She took the stage looking like a tall creamcicle with some serious boobage for “Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cook. She’s got a big big voice, and tonight she showed it. I will forgive her for the Tina Swim move earlier.
Jason Castro

First Song: Thankfully for the dreded one, Bob Marley had a major hit with”I Shot The Sheriff.” Oh please some one shoot me. This is terrible. Pronounciation question… what exactly is a Cher-Raff? Because that’s what this toker dude was singing. I mean I know what a SHERIFF is, but never heard of a CHERAFF. Oh well, obviously Jason doesn’t know what a sheriff or a good performance is. Man that was a bigger mess than his hair.
Second Song: Just when I didn’t think he could get any worse, he does. He butchers the Bob Dylan classic, “Mr Tamborine Man.” He forgot the friggin’ words!?!?! We’re in the final days of the show and he forgets his words?? Children… this is Jason… this is Jason on drugs… don’t be Jason.
David Archuletta

First Song: The little elf chose “Stand By Me” for his first performance. Of course he did. I wish someone would actually step ON him. The kid is killing me with his white boy attempt at soul. He even through a little Sean King “Beautiful Girls” in there for good measure. The judges were obviously reminded to praise the peas and carrots out of him because Randy and Paula really laid the compliments on thicker than Simon’s chest hair. I’m starting a new movement. I’m calling it Vote For Anyone But Archuletta!
Second Song: So he decided to capitalize on the hormonal swoonings of all the pre-pubescent girls in the audience and sing yet another slow song, “Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley. I have to hand it to the little tyke and the producers… they really know how to smear it on.
And that, Idol Fans, is our Top 4. Only 2 weeks left before we name our new American Idol. So who will it be?
Tune in tomorrow night to find out!
Peace, Love & Fame,
Kristi
