Round One
First up was David Cook and he started with “Hungry Like The Wolf“, and i don't feel any hunger, i cried like a wolf though. however it was a good performance, as usual.
Then was the only female finalist left, Syesha Mercado looked fabulous! she spiced things up with yet another upbeat song, “Proud Mary" by diva Tina Turner. Syesha was in her zone again with all moves and the awesome singing.
up next was dear happily ever after Jason Castro who decided to do Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff". i say, SHOOT ME PLEASE! it was utterly dreadful! (and that mask with the "thread-locks", tell me about it v_v). my god you should have seen my 1 million-dollar jaw dropping expression. not surprisingly, the judges hated it, even dear Paula gave a check (in a nicer way, of course).
Archuleta at his cutest
David A showed the rest how it's done - the David Archuleta way. when he went.."darling darling...stand by me...ooohhh", everyone went crazy. i believed his rendition of "Stand By Me" made Ben E King proud. also, if you did listen carefully, he even tried to mix in Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” at a point. the judges loved it, and he's got a standing ovation...woohoo!
Round Two
David Cook came back and sang “Baba O’Reilly“ which was much better than the wolf hungry song. simon smirked and commented, “welcome back, David Cook”.
Syesha sang “Change Is Gonna Come“ which in the end turned into some kind of an emotional wreck for her. i thought the performance was lovely as she did display her vocal ranges however the judges gave different reviews. Randy thought it was over the top on the vocals, Syesha was close to teary and broke down after Paula gave her major props for her amazing vocals. Simon unexpectedly agreed with Paula, leaving Syesha with tears. she looked great with her long flowing dress, nonetheless.
Jason came back forgetting part of his lyrics from “Mr Tambourine Man“. great, from shooting the sheriff to the tambourine man, who's next? i thought Jason did okay (despite forgetting the lyrics) but it was a weak performance. hello, you're nearing the finals and you're forgetting your lyrics? *smack head yet again the judges didn't liked it, with Simon offering help to pack Jason's suitcase.
Archuleta crushed it!
lastly, David Archuleta closed the show with the all-so-tenderly tender “Love Me Tender“ by Elvis Presley. he breezed through, of course! simon said he crushed the competition.
Jason Castro *smiling* leaving the Top 3 finalists, David Cook, Archuleta and Syesha
