Top 3 in the house.my pick of the week -
I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by David Cook
JUDGES' CHOICE:David Archuleta - "And So It Goes" chosen by Paula
ok, i got the song spoilers and before watching Idol, it's my habit to look up the original versions of these songs on YouTube. first, i really wanted to kill Paula for choosing a song fit for a snoozefest. but, when David sang this, i realized that the song really complemented his vocal range. well folks, it is not easy to carry a tune when it's a vocal solo.. the first part of the song was all like just his voice.. and the melody of the song was just difficult to carry but he was able to do it.. with minimal background and no back up singers. i am really impressed. wow. and if you don't believe that it's that hard, well go ahead try to sing it.
Syesha Mercado - "If I Ain't Got You" chosen by Randyi thought this was really good for Syesha. but she stuck to the tune and didn't make a statement out of it. boohoo
David Cook - "First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" chosen by Simonit was a different side of Cook's voice we don't usually see. he carried it. and well, duh, he's Cook.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CONTESTANTS' CHOICE:
David Archuleta - "With You"
kill me. omg. i could not figure out what came to him that he chose this song? it is so far from the David we know and that really really supercalifragilisticexpelialidociously shocked me. so, even before hearing him, i knew it wouldn't work out. i knew he couldn't keep up with the words since its fast and well, he's gaspy. and the song was simply not flattering to his voice. proved me right. he was running after the words, almost forgetting some, gasping every time he could, add up those hip shaking and the awkwardness. motherofgod, i am pretending this did not happen.
Syesha Mercado - "Fever"EW. she was forcing sexyness. EW. i was so distracted on her movements i could not remember what and how she sang.
David Cook - "I Dare You To Move"oh i just realized i knew this song (thanks to Fel) this was from A Walk To Remember. and lyric wise, i would like to applaud Cook cause the song really was a good meaning and fits to what he is going through right now. although it was hard to pull this song cause it had to be shortened. you know the momentum of going from slow to medium to full blast there is in a song? it's hard to pull that off if the song had to be cut and fit to 90 secs. right on, Paula. you're finally talking some sense
----------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCERS' CHOICE:
David Archuleta - "Longer"
Longer was a perfect fit for David. props to Nigel for that one. it was just.. perfect.
Syesha Mercado - "Hit Me Up"
wth Happy Feet? Nigel really wants to make this girl leave the show. way to go, manipulative bastard. performance wise, she lacked energy and if she really really wanted to stay, she should've gave her all on the last song cause it is what the viewers would remember. it was okey but not memorable enough.
David Cook - "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"
oh god, i love this song. and Cook, really really really made it work for him. i loved everything about it. especially the trusty end of the song glory note for Cook. that my fellows, just made him win the night.

Additional Notes:
a. what's up with Mr Cowell and Mr Jackson? their comments were like for the sake of slapping each other's faces. if you wanna do some slapping gents, go somewhere else.
b. Paula was actually talking some senses tonight. kudos to you Ms Abdul
c. why oh why do they have to argue about the song selections that the contestants obviously didn't choose? go tell it to Nigel, geniuses.
d. is it me or does everyone get the feeling that Syesha checked out Kristy Lee Cook's wardrobe?
e. SO WHO'S UP FOR A DAVID VS DAVID FINALE?
SO ANYWAY,some non idol related stuff.
i just wanna say I LOVE ELLEN DEGENERES. :P
and, the computer sucks. its been slow and keeps on hanging.
and my cellphone's keypads are just stupidly very hard to press. it takes a lot of pressing before something actually appears on the screen. oh good lord, what did i do to deserve all these?
