American Idol Top 10 Men

The search for the next American Idol continued last night with the men singing the hits of the 70's. I'm not a fan of theme nights during this section of the show. I'd rather get a cross section and let the singers pick their own song regardless of era. Anyway, enough of my blathering and time for the top and bottom 3 from last night.

TOP THREE (in no particular order)

  1. David Archuleta - sweet, innocent David with a voice straight from heaven. Some are already anointing him. It's a tad early for that and besides this guy is no newcomer to performing (just enter his name on youtube) and his post-performance interviews feel a bit too Doolittleish for me.
  2. David Hernandez - the voice, the looks, and the stage presence. A strong performance last night pushed him back into the frontrunner race.
  3. David Cook - what is this...the year of David. Rocked out last night but his downfall could be that awful haircut and his attitude especially towards Simon. Simon may be the mean judge but he is the most popular thing about the show and his opinion is the one everybody wants to hear.

BOTTOM THREE (in no particular order)

  1. Jason Yeager - Just plain gawd awful! They way he smiled throughout the song kinda freaked me out and his entire look and act was just dreadful! BTW, what was with that belt!
  2. Luke Menard - His voice is just too weak to compete with the big boys.
  3. Michael Johns - Even though the judges thought it was alright, it felt very strained to me. He'll need to do a love song next week to get the girls swooning and voting for him again.
