American Idol Top 8 Men

Last night was 80's night and judging by Paula Abdul's weirder than usual behaviour it was causing some serious flashbacks for her. Also, we learned that Randy Jackson doesn't know the difference between INXS and Simple Minds, and that Simon Cowell and Lionel Ritchie shop at the same supermarket. On to the top and bottom 3 according to Stew...

Top 3 Males
  1. David Cook - Rocked out with "Hello" and provided the night's best performance.
  2. Jason Castro - Knows to keep it simple and sweet. Hallelujah!
  3. David Hernandez - David stripped it down (See what I did there, LOL! I kill me sometimes.) and performed "Its All Coming Back to Me Now"

Bottom 3 Males

  1. Luke Menard - The man with the weak voice decided to perform "Wake Me Up" by Wham, which featured George Michael's strong vocals, in other words it sucked.
  2. Chikezie - Performance was bland and because Whitney Houston performed it, Simon declared it was not worthy.
  3. Danny Noriega - His "Tainted Love" was OK, but if he goes I think what we will really miss is his attitude, because the dude can strut with the best.

Couple of quick other notes; have we seen a chink in David Archuleta's armour. He's got to realize that not every week can have this big dramatic number and he has to come across, even a little bit, as a seventeen-year old kid who is having fun and not being programmed. Also Michael John's performance was very so-so for me. This guy seems like he is losing steam every week and needs to find the perfect song that suits him soon.
