Greetings Idol Fans!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Be kind, rewind… no wait… Recycle, Reuse. Yeah that’s it. Take care of Mother Earth, people!!!

On with the show…

In a twist tonight, the Idol band is on the stage..string section and all. Well after all, it is Andrew Lloyd Webber week. The musical genius Brit has been the driving force to bring some of Broadway most memorable shows and songs to life. Heck, we should have costumes and lighting arrangements and falling enormous chandeliers!
Syesha Mercado
The girl fro’d one starts the show with a sassy cover of “One Rock & Roll Too Many” from Starlight Express. Hey, where are the roller skates? She lights up the stage like a star showing loads of personality and tons of talent.
Jason Castro
OK so he’s in a suit, but forgot to iron it but he still remembered the white shoes. He attempts to work his magical mystical toker ways on “Memory.” All I can hope it that I will soon forget his performance. I’ve heard actual cats sing it better.

Brooke White
ALW made her practically cry during her session for “You Must Love Me.” She practically made me cry when she stopped her performance when she forgot her words. I give the gypsy girl props for trying such a strong and passionate song, but I think it was a bit to much for her.
David Archuleta
He perform one of my favorite songs,”Think Of Me” from one of my favorite shows of all time,Phantom of the Opera. He’s got a long way to impress me. He does a easy listening cover that the little elf obviously didn’t arrange himself. It’s good to be the ringer. He forgot the words, mumbled a few bars, but somehow managed to still gain the love of the judges(except Simon) and most definitely not mine.

Carly Smithson
She started with a ballad from Phantom and luckily ALW stepped in with “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Holy Hippie Bible Musical!! She’s blew the sandals of it. Props to ALW for probably saving her butt from the Bottom 3. Amen.

David Cook
OK this was a tricky one. He took on “Music of the Night” from Phantom. This is one of the best known and most beloved songs EVER to echo through the halls of Broadway, so to miss any one of the notes in this could be fatal. Luckily he passed on the rocker edge, and sang it pure and powerful. It was so good, I’m not even going to make fun of his hair.

And that’s the Top 6! Luckily for us and for Andrew Lloyd Webber, no one completely butchered his genius. So Idol Fans who will get to stand center-stage and who will be exiting stage left? Tune in tomorrow as we name our Top 5!!

Peace, Love & Music of the Night,

Kristi
