Tonight I’m going to do a little live-blogging experiment with my AI post. Here goes:
I don’t think I’m going to like Andrew Lloyd Weber night. Not my kind of stuff. I’m betting I’m not alone on this.
Syesha: She’ll probably do a good job with this one since she’s always so dramatic. Ugh, I hate the way this sounds. I think she’s really losing it here toward the end. Uh, what are the judges talking about? Did they hear the same performance I did? Wow, she might have another week in her. I hope not.
(I just laughed out loud at that Burger King commercial.)
Jason: What is he thinking? Memory? Seriously? Bad idea, dude. Sunny doesn’t like it either. I think this song exposes his vocal limitations. Very weak ending. Judges will probably love it. Randy hates it. Paula is crazy. Simon hit the nail on the head. This was miserable. He might be going home.
Brooke: Oh no…she just botched the beginning. I don’t think she’s going to be able to recover from that. It’ll be inconsistent if the judges rip her for that, though; they praised her last time she did it. Said it proved that she was a great performer or something. She sounds good, but I’m still distracted by the faux pas. You just can’t forget the lyrics. I can’t believe Randy and Simon aren’t being harder on her.
Archuleta: This theme is in his wheelhouse. Cool arrangement. Nice beginning. Is there anything this kid can’t sing? Millions of adoring teenage girls can’t be wrong: he’s awesome.
Carly: This proves how unfamiliar I am with this stuff: I’ve never heard Jesus Christ Superstar. This is definitely the kind of song for her. She’s a better performer when she’s having fun, as opposed to some of her “angrier” performances. The “Simon Loves Me (This Week)” shirt…nice.
David Cook: I’m worried that this theme will hurt him. Through the first verse, it sounds good, though. Maybe somebody will pop up with an electric guitar and he can just wail. Wow, this is really different than anything he’s done so far. I don’t really like this style of music, but dude can definitely pull it off. He’s showing nice vulnerability here. I hope he wins.
Bottom three prediction: Jason, Syesha, Brooke.
Who I think will go home: Syesha
Who I hope goes home: Brooke’s body of work might save her here, but I think it’s inexcusable to forget the lyrics at this stage in the competition. I think she deserves to go.
Your thoughts?
already & not yet 
Shyesha is a GREAT actress so she came across very well tonight.Jason C. – you’re much better with a ukelele.Poor Brooke – you rebouned, but will it be enough to remain on AI? You can’t forget the words when you’re in the top 6!Jason A. – your performance was “nice” and all the teenagers love you no matter what. Your tune was soothing.Carly – You rocked with Jesus Christ Superstar. Jason, this was popular in my teen years, so that’s why you’ve never heard of it. I knew the song, but had no idea Webber wrote it.Jason Cook – YOU ROCK and I HOPE YOU WIN. Your voice is the one I want to hear over and over and over.Most memorable performances for me Jason C and Carley. I hope Shyesha goes home, but Brooke and Jason C could be out this week.
Wow, how long did that take? Someone already has the “SIMON LOVES ME” shirts up for sale, funny. http://www.simonlovesmetshirt.com
I agree with your comments totally. Great rundown of the show. I think it will be sad to see Jason singing “Memory” … kind of ironic… on his last goodbye.
Syesha- she’ll stick around for another week, but that’s just because others botched it.Jason- Dawg, that stunk. Amen on the vocal limitations.Brooke- I was just starting to like you, but I just have to agree with you Jason, you don’t botch the beginning at this stage.David A.- Awesome, nuff said.Carly- I think this was the best you’ve ever done.David C.- We were sitting there waiting for the electric guitar and drum clap as well, but it never came. He wailed on it, and ultimately I loved it.
oh yeah, bottom three: Jason, Brooke, and maybe Syesha. I think its a toss up between Brooke and Jason going home.
I totally agree with your bottom three prediction. I also agree with the fact that Syesha is a MISS DRAMA queen still which will probably get her through and that is the only reason. Brooke, nuff said. Jason, it was almost as if he whispered his weird little song through parts along with his weir little facial expressions 😉 Ughhh!!Bri
My bottom three are the same as yours. Even though I would LOVE to see Syesha going home, I think that it might be a toss up between Brooke and Jason. I can’t really remember, but it seems like every time Jason does not have some kind of instrument in his performance, he is in the bottom 3. It will be interesting to see if that is the case tonight. Brooke’s performance was SO distracting. She cannot forget the words (at ANY stage)!!! Just gives everyone a glimpse at her performances after her time on AI. Might make for a pretty boring concert.
I think you make a good point, Sunny, about Jason’s performances without playing an instrument. This might be the end of the line for him.
I like John Travolta Jr…or Jason. Hope he makes it past Brooke and Syesha.
When will Syesha go away?!?!?!
