American Idol Top 10

The Idols this week choose songs from the year they were born, so for the most part it turned into an 80's night and Paula tried to dress accordingly with her gloves and faux-torn dress. BTW, for some straight insight into an Idol's life check out Amanda Overmyer's interveiw package over at EW.com.

Top 3 Performers
  1. David Cook - sure he took Chris Cornell's version but he did it extremely well and hit that big note. He is a lot like Daughtry at this stage, but he is a better singer.
  2. Michael Johns - finally found that right song(s) and got to showcase his strut.
  3. Syesha Mercado - I wasn't a fan of the song but she is getting stronger every week so watch out.

Bottom 3 Performers


  1. Ramiele Malubay - she has run her course and it is time to walk out that door and await the tour before obscurity hits.
  2. Cary Smithson - it pains me to put her here because I'm a fan but she is faltering and almost trying to hard. She actually looks pained to be on stage.
  3. David Archuleta - he got a bit of a free ride from the judges last night because it was a mess from the choice of song to the opening moments to the dancing.

Before my prediction, kudos to Kristy Lee for picking a song that Simon couldn't criticize unless he wanted to be run out of the good ol' US of A. Prediction - Ramiele should and must go.
