American Idol top 10!!!

Alright we are getting down to the serious competition. My favorite of the week was both by Michael Johns and Ramielle Malubay (WE are the Champions)


Great -

Michael Johns - Ok, Last week michael was kind of everywhere and he stated himself that he peeked in hollywood and he hopes he can get back to that. Well tonight he went way past that and was brilliant. The song choice was great and the way he moved through the song was perfect, he is always consistent and has a great presence on stage but tonight he was off the hook. The judges agreed tonight.

Ramielle Malubay - She was also brilliant, her best performance so far, it was a ballad, so it was a little slow but it picked up and her whole range was able to show. She is my favorite girl and is adorable. I loved it, if she goes home its a shame.

David Cook - DAVID FREAKIN COOK continues to impress, the judges think he can win the whole thing and i believe them too, he has been astounding lately, everything has been good sense he first stepped on the show and everything has been great sense his performance of Hello

Good -

Syesha Mercado - Syesha went with soul this week and it was good, one of the better ones of the week, i could have put it in the great category but the other three just seemed too special, i do like her a lot though.

Carly Smithson - for some reason i was trying to think of something negative to say about carly cause she is not my favorite.. probably 8th favorite.. but this week was really good, This and Come together were both great. The judges were mixed on it for some reason, randy was weird this week, but she did a good job.

Brooke White - I love Brooke, she seems so nice, and this week she went back to the piano, she started off a little week but she stopped and started it again. She sang "Every breath You Take" and her voice is so pure, it was not as good as Love is a battlefield or Let it be but it was still good, she will stay on.

So-So

David Archuleta - I hate to put either of these two guys in this column and i usually think this spot would mean bottom three but no way. I actually liked the performance it was a little more upbeat than lately but still controlled. However, his voice just seemed a little flat and he did not seem as into this performance as those in the past, the girls love him though and he will be back.

Jason Castro - Simon said he thinks Jason is being too relaxed and i can see what he is talking about. After Hallelujah he hasn't exactly blown me away, he is very solid and i love his Jason Mraz-esque voice and i think he will stay another week, with the risk of being in the bottom three though. He went back to the guitar which is his strong suit but did not seem to connect that much with the song and didn't exactly use any of his voice range. The girls love him too so he will say. Also He did brilliant in whatever language he was singing in.

Weak -

Chikezie -Chikezie.. Chikezie.. Chikezie... i hate you for making that hard to type but i love your attitude, he seems like a really nice guy. With all that said he had another poor performance, with exception to the week where he did "She's a Women" He hasn't really done anything to show that he should be here. He will be in the bottom three and the only thing to keep him from maybe leaving is....

Kristy Lee Cook - HOW IS SHE STILL HERE?!?! Sure this week with her patriotic attempt she was better then ever, but that is not hard to do, i have no idea how she keeps on singing for us. She should go home but i have the feeling Chikezie will go home because someone out there likes Kristy, she did okay, the judges thought she would get tenth place weeks ago and they might be right this week.

With all that said i think this week was good, i loved the idea of picking a song from your birth year, i liked most of the songs we continue to see some people step up each week and others give lack luster performances.i have a theory that its really hard to impress the judges after an amazing performance... like Archuleta this week and others in weeks pasts... my guesses for this week are...

Bottom Three -
Kristy Lee Cook, Chikezie, and Jason Castro *I feel uneasy about this pick i dont think i will be right* (Carly is another possibility in this slot cause she was here last week)
Going Home -
Chikezie... I would rather see kristy go home but i keep saying she will and she keeps hanging on, so maybe if i say Chikezie will she will go home.
Runner Up -
David Cook, in past weeks i would have said Jason or Michale but David has been incredible strong and is even itching towards the following prize.
Your Next American Idol
David Archuleta has just had too many good performances to not win at this point, that could change with a couple sub par performances and David Cook really finishing strong but i still think that David A will win the prize with a couple more great performances.
