I've adored him from day one and was beginning to fear he was on the way out. It's interesting at this point in the game to see how things are turning. Some who I thought would surely end up in the final four, could possibly be in the bottom three this week (Carly?). Kristina's performance was probably her best yet, however it wasn't enough to win any points with me. I'd like to see her go this week, just because she should have left the last two. If we're to judge just on this week alone, however, she will most likely be safe. Ramiele is another one I'm just not impressed with, and she is the one that would be my choice to leave. 705346@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Mar 2008 14:44:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/26/024118.php#comment-705290 While David Cook's vocals were very good, his arrangement was a copy (once again) of Chris Cornell's version. Apparently as well as being a wordsmith, Cook does his homework picking songs you'd normally not think of as rock, finding a version of it being performed as rock and delivering that version. That said, he was one of my favorites last night. Archuleta is seemingly falling out of favor with Simon. This song obviously picked out for him likely by his stage Dad. It was like Cowell described, sounding rather like something you'd find at Disney, little animated animals bouncing around. He did less lip licking, so I'm thinking someone is working with him to stop that habit, it's very distracting and unpleasant to watch. Kristy Lee - who'd have thought the girl could get into the strategy aspect of this show? This week a brilliant choice and she should be safe. I adore Castro, but he's got to do something amazing this next week or he'll be gone. 705290@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Mar 2008 09:34:12 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/26/024118.php#comment-705273 Kristy Lee Cook was horrible. Even her trying to pull out the stops and play a patriotic song for Middle American Voted was pathetic. I saw some of the videos [Edited] and both David Cook and Michael Johns were awesome 705273@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Mar 2008 04:02:16 EDT
