American Idol 7: Top 3

This is by far the best pic I can give you of David Cook. HAHA.

Syesha appears as a diva of the night with her glittering gown. Cook shows up classy and nice. Archuleta looked like ah, nothing. PEOPLE, listen to Simon Cowell this round and vote for Cook! swoon

Let us start with the judges’ pick for our Top 3:

DAVID ARCHULETA. And So It Goes. Billy Joel

Started boring. He gasps a lot when he sings these type of songs. Good voice, just feels sleepy when he sings. As I listen this in Youtube, I want to switch to Syesha’s or Cook’s performances na. Haha. I’m really not into Archuleta’s singing. Before I knew it, it ended na. Not really nice. Something I wouldn’t want to listen to.

SYESHA MERCADO. If I Ain’t Got You. Alicia Keys

Yes, it was smooth. Kinda boring at first. She could have shown a lot with the song but she didn’t maximize her voice through it. She still lacks connection with the audience that her belts didn’t even manage to give the audience the groove. She had a flawless ending to the song. It kinda souded like Alicia. She’s so gorgeous! :)

DAVID COOK. First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Roberta Flack.

The choice of song was hilarious. But he did a splendid job over a boring song. It showed how flexible he was. His belt through the end was simply breath-taking. This guy is fit for the title. Whatever song given to him, he can surely make it a hit. Simon, giving him this song, just challenged him to show that David Cook should be the next American Idol. And Round 1 goes to Cook and Cowell.

We’re done with the JUDGES’ Choice. We’ll see who rocks the second round, CONTESTANT’S CHOICE.

DAVID ARCHULETA. With You. Chris Brown

It sounds so nasal. It felt so forced. It felt liked he missed some lines. He made it so boyband-ish. Eeek. This is so not Archuleta, unlike what Paula said. He’s clearly not in his element. I sooo not want a David-David Final 2. And yes, it’s like a Chihuahua trying to be a tiger.

SYESHA MERCADO. Fever.

She’s wise. She chose another broadway type of song, but I don’t think it’s wise after all. It didn’t bring out the best on her. It was okay, but it’s not enough for her to snatch some votes from Archuleta and Cook. Syesha’s not going to be the American Idol, nor will she be able to perform at the Final 2.

DAVID COOK. Dare You To Move. Switchfoot

I liked the changes he made on the chorus. It rocked everyone’s world when he shifted notes in the chorus. Other than some glitches on high notes and the performance being a little pitchy to some extent, it was soothing. It was an okay performance, which would take you by storm at parts.

We have the last round now, the PRODUCER’S Choice.

SYESHA MERCADO. Beat Me Up

It was cool, kinda preppy. It’s a Syesha song. It kinda looks like she has a chance to escape another elimination. This performance showed a lot of versatility. She looks like a star now. Unlike before, she looked so amateur-ish. She did way better than Archuleta though. The judges are telling her she’s not gonna make it on the Final 2. Let’s see tomorrow, who’ll get axed. I can feel Archuleta going home.

DAVID ARCHULETA. Longer. Dan Folgeberg

Boring again. It sounds unoriginal, it sounds like the previously recorded version. I still hear his gasping in this song. Boring. Steady. Worst performance of the evening. For me, it’s a little unclear. Everything. I can sleep now. What are the judges saying? Its not a lovely performance.

DAVID COOK. I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing. Aerosmith

It’s the potential song of the night. The only unforgettable song of the Final 3. It’s amazing, awesome and the switching’s good. It felt like he’s gonna win this and it’s his winning performance. It’s the best song of the night. Cook woke me up after Archuleta and Syesha’s boring performances.

Oh my gosh, I have the following ranking for the past three rounds:
1) David Cook; 2) Syesha Mercado; 3) Archuleta.

Who's gonna be our Final 2? Yes, as you have predicted, its going to be the Davids.
Syesha tried so hard but the judges banged her out this week.

Syesha and Cook should be the Final Two.
