Top 6: Performances

Andrew Lloyd Webber week. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Incidentally, in an interview, Kristy Lee Cook said she'd planned to do "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" this week. I have no idea how that would have worked.

Syesha: "One Rock and Roll Too Many"
...from Starlight Express, apparently. I'm not familiar with that one. And now we're up against the crux of the matter: this is way Broadway, and thus horrible from a normal Idol standpoint. But it's freakin' Andrew Lloyd Webber week. So we're back to "what are the producers smoking?"

Jason: "Memory"
The low notes aren't working for me. ...nor does it get better. Very "blah."
Randy called it "a little bit of a train wreck."

Brooke: "You Must Love Me"
Oof. She just totally screwed up the beginning. I don't think you can get away with that twice in a season. (But then again, Jason sucked, so you never know.) Anyway, once past that... eh. Okay, but kinda boring.

David Archuleta: "Think of Me"
S'okay.

Carly: "Superstar"
YAY! First good song of the night! Perfect choice, solid performance.

David Cook: "Music of the Night"
I've never really been a Phantom fan, truth be told. Anyway, this was okay. I guess.

Definitely voting for Carly.

Ah, crap - I hate it when David Cook is really good. The judges were a bit tough tonight, because I thought Archuleta was the best one as he was the one who made the song completely different and "contemporary" as Simon is always going on about. Oh, and Brooke needs to go home. I agreed with Paula - you don't do that - other people have flubbed lyrics and survived. You trudge on, girl.

Anyhoo, let's just throw some names out, shall we?

1. Archuleta
2. Cook because I still refuse to put him first
3. Castro
4. Carly
5. Syesha
6. Brooke

After this week, I may really shake up my ranks. Methinks Arch is actually going to go out 4th.

Personally, I'm torn between Jason and Brooke going home this week, but y'all are probably right. Even Brooke's remaining fans may be ready to put her out of her misery by now.
