I am still at work, but I am recording the performances, and I may update this later (tomorrow?) with reactions. Meanwhile, pool predictions go here...
It's the next day, I've got it at work. I'm also primarily focused on doing my actual job, so I'm mostly just listening, with occasional glances at the 2-inch image in the corner of the screen.
Judge's choice:
David Archuleta: "And So It Goes," Billy Joel [Paula's choice]
Pleasant.
Syesha: "If I Ain't Got You," Alicia Keys [Randy's choice]
Nice.
David Cook: "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," Roberta Flack [Simon's choice]
Cool.
Contestant's choice:
Archuleta: "With You," Chris Brown
Ooh. This works. This works well. Excellent choice!
Syesha: "Fever," Peggy Lee
Hmm. Good performance of a challenging song, but she didn't really bring anything new to it. I dunno.
(was too busy working to finish, and I'm going home now... will watch the rest later)
Cook: "Dare You to Move," Switchfoot
Eh. S'okay.
Producer's choice:
Archie: "Longer," Dan Fogelberg
Pleasant. Again.
Mercado: "Hit Me Up," Gia Farrell
Not bad. But probably not good enough to carry her to the finals. She needed to hit one out of the park this week.
Cookie: "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," Aerosmith
Not bad!
I would so like to predict that Syesha will hang on another week and send Archie home, but the odds seem stacked against it.
