AI7: Who's Going?

I watched the Dolly Parton-inspired Idol last night. I am kinda surprised since a lot of the Idols brought us good performances or to say at least, there is a really good chance that any good Idol will go tonight.

Let us start with Brooke White, as of now, the girl isn't the best performing Idol; but, she delivers well and the people like her. As of now, I think she's still safe.

David Cook didn't fail me since he is still at the top of the list for tonight. I don't know. Performance-wise, Cook has this in the bag. He is very consistent every week, and better everytime he sings in front of us. I would be surprised if he gets eliminated.

Last week, Ramiele Malubay was in no good shape. I actually thought she'd be in the bottom line-up, but she's still safe. I liked her performance, its a very safe one. With that, I think she can still be saved. It was a better performance than last week's

I don't know why, but Jason Castro starts to irritate me. I believe that this guy has talent. But his performances aren't really that pleasant. I think he's going to be in the Bottom 3.

Carly Smithson gave a very powerful performance tonight. Though, I think she's one of the contestants with the lower fanbase, it'd be enough to sustain her another week in Idol. She is also one of those who has made a bigger impact than her former performances.

They liked David Archuleta's performance but I didn't. I liked the intensity of his voice, but still, I don't like his voice at all. I still can't understand some of the words he's singing and I still think, at times, he sings off-tune. Should be in the bottom 3, but is still safe.

Kristy Lee Cook did better last week. I do believe that this girl rocks at Country Music. She'll be another Kellie Pickler. Haha. Anyway, enough said. I still think she's gonna be in the bottom three.

Syesha Mercado, I think she did pretty well tonight, I don't know about the judges. For me, it was clean, simple and very memorable. Something new for a "belting" kind of song. But unless, she does something super awesome, Syesha won't impress America. I still think she doesn't connect well with the people. Syesha will be in the Bottom 3.

The last performance was of Michael Johns, and was the only performance that I really liked.

I think we will have an all-male Final 2 this year. It's a battle of the rockers: Michael Johns and David Cook.


PERFORMANCE-WISE
1. David Cook
2. Michael Johns
3. Carly Smithson
4. Syesha Mercado
5. Brooke White
6. David Archuleta
7. Ramiele Malubay
8. Jason Castro
9. Kristy Lee Cook

As of now, here's my prediction of the vote-offs.

This round. The bottom three would be:
Syesha Mercado
Kristy Lee Cook
Jason Castro

Who goes home? Jason Castro.
