Best Idol Moment from last night: David Archuleta "Angels"



Woohoo!! David's back!!! Oh my goodness I LOVED this performance. Why is it that when David A. is behind a piano magic happens? SO great. I appologive for not posting last week. I actually sat down to do it but I couldn't decide on a favorite! They were all so great. I'm glad Ramiele left though. This week was a bit of a let down. I thought that the "inspirational songs" would make for an amazing and emotional night. But some of the song choices were so lame(seriously Brooke - You've got a Friend??). So here's my recap:

David A. - Amazing - did you notice he doens't lick his lips as often now?
David C. - I thought he did well. I could tell the song meant a lot to him but I think he is capable of so much more.
Michael Johns - Lame song choice, good performance.
Syesha Mercado - I actually thought she did a good job. IMHO I was finally able to "see who Syesha is." Until last night I thought she was just your everyday-run of the mill singer. I think last night she had a moment.
Brooke White - SUCH a lame song choice. I actually really like the song but I thought that with all of the choices out there that she could have really shined - but didn't.
Jason Castro - Maybe because I love the Iz version so much, or maybe because I just hate watching Jason peform - Anyway, I wasn't nearly as impressed as the judges. I thought he did a good job, but only really near the end. It was lacking Iz's oooooooh's. And I just feel like every time Jason performs it's like pulling teeth for him.
Carli Smithson - I totally agreed with Simon. She seemed ANGRY!! And it really was such an uplifting song. She did look amazing, though.
Kristy Lee Cook - I think at this point it doesn't matter how well she does - the girl needs to go. She's had too many bad moments for me to enjoy her good moments. The end of the song was good but I wish she would open her eyes when she sings.

A note about Idol Gives Back - WATCH IT!! I thought last year would be lame but it really was amazing. There are a few cheesy parts and some parts where you can tell they're just trying to break your heart to make you give money. However, the performances are usually really enjoyable to watch. You can just do what I did last year and am planning on doing again - DVR it and fast forward through the boring parts.
