Hello America - Top 7 tonight - let’s go!

Theme: Mariah Carey week

1. David Cook - “Always Be My Baby“. He’s really got a great voice. I am enjoying him more and more each week. I don’t really care for the song all that much, but I very much enjoyed the performance, especially the minor key at the very end. Very nice job!
2. David Archuleta - “When You Believe“. Was he wearing leather pants? Oh dear. And what was with those stupid girls in the pit waving their hands back and forth? Stop it, you’re ruining his amazing song. He really sounded like a pop star on this one. I don’t like what he’s doing with his hair, but he’s on his way to the top of the chart. We were also treated to his falsetto tonight - very nice.
3. Jason Castro - “I Don’t Want To Cry“. Yet another rasta-esque performance from the boy with the hair. I’m really over this style of performance with him. He sings soft songs constantly that do nothing to really show off his vocal power. Every song sounds the same. They sound good, yes, but they sound the same. And the jeans jacket?? *sigh*
4. Kristy Lee Cook - “Forever“. You knew it was going to be bad when Mariah told her it was “really really good” through strained teeth. The song was awful. I couldn’t hear any of the low notes, there was zero power behind them. Pitchy during rehearsal and again during performance. Everything can’t be a country song KLC. Just awful.
5. Brooke White - “Hero“. Very pitchy performance. I’m tired of Brooke now. I’m tired of her sitting behind a piano or a guitar in every song. The performance sounded restrained and held back. Why was her entire head shaking while she was singing? It was like she was paying too much attention to playing the piano and not to the singing. Very, very poor job tonight.
6. Syesha Mercado - “Vanishing“. Meh. I completely forgot she was singing while I was watching, until she hit the final power note. It was good, but the rest of the song was boring, and did anyone notice that she didn’t hug Mariah when she first met her? Yeah, that wasn’t very nice.
7. Carly Smithson - “Without You“. There was way too much “ssssss” going on in this song. I don’t like the hissing when singing. Pick a song without so many s’s. I didn’t like the song or the performance at all. I could barely hear her during parts of the song, and it was insanely boring. Pitchy, not great at all. I did, however, like that she covered up her tats - and I’m sure Doug appreciated this too.

Results: Kristy Lee Cook is FINALLY out. I think we can all be thankful for this. Let me hear an Amen. How dare she sell her favourite horse to go to an audition. Shame. Shame.

Just like her song from last night, “Forever“, it took forever for her to be eliminated, but we can now finally enjoy the show as it was meant to be.

I also think that was quite possibly the WORST group-song to date.
