You're right, Lexie, she did say that.

I loved Carole King way back in time. I didn't have any of her albums, though. And I don't recall hearing her singing it. Sure do remember James Taylor singing it, though.

In my opinion...

Best of the night was Jason. He really connected to that song, and it's the first time since Hallelujah. I LOVE that version of the song. it's been used in a LOT of movies, and some commercials. Jason did a fantastic job.

Michael has a great voice, and he did ok, but not as good as last week.

Brooke was ok. She drives me NUTS with her commentary with the judges. She's not "talking back" but it's like she's having a conversation with them and I find it annoying. She even said, "Thank You" when she finished singing which is nice, but it's just like she can't keep her mouth closed.

David A was ok. I still am not a fan. He still reminds me of Ernie from Sesame Street.

Based on tonight's performances, bottom 3 should be from among David C, Carly, KLC or Sayesha.

David C made the mistake of performing a song that isn't well known, and then not singing it well. He started off singing deep, then changed to his normal voice, then hit some falsettos. Oy. David C is my favorite, but tonight he wasn't good. At all.

The judges FINALLY said what I've been saying about Carly. She sings well, but she has no connection to her songs. It's like Celine Dion. Technically good, but just no "soul" behind the words coming out of her mouth.

KLC probably did her best yet, but she just isn't as good as the others.

Sayesha was ok, but she made the mistake of singing a prior Idol's song. I also didn't like how she didn't sing that one word and instead just sang a high note.

In a perfect world, KLC would go home as she's clearly the worst left.

I am voting Jason. He was the best. And Kristy was 2nd...Never thought that would happen.

I think Jason was the best tonight.

Didn't really care for the others.

Simon seems to be rethinking his support for Carly-plant and maybe he shouldn't have hitched his wagon to her so soon.

I've been thinking, and Syesha may have lost some votes with her discussion with the judges.
While it wasn't "lippy," history suggests that a lot of AI voters don't like it when they are seen to be "talking back." I think she was actually trying to understand the criticism and get some tips out of the judges, but it seems a number of AI voters are overly sensitive to the contestants who question the judges.
It's best for the contestants to keep their mouths shut, and then ask the judges for advice or clarity AFTER the show.
So, at this point, I'm going to say KLC most likely goes, but if it's Syesha it's because of her talking to the judges and not her performance. I will laugh if Carly goes this week.
Truly.

I almost cried when Jason sat there playing the ukelele singing Iz's version of Over the Rainbow....RIP Iz.

Loved it! I've been rooting for Jason, and tonight he was fabulous! I love Iz's version of that song.

My other fave contestant was turfed last week, so I hope he goes far.

Thanks Darrel.

Just seen Jason, I love that version of the song. I've said before he's very Key West. I just like him doing that sun going down, lazing on a beach style.

Stroking a manatee. (And I mean that literally, not metaphorically!)

David Cook was bad. Picked up near the end but overall not good.

I'm not sure why people don't realise some artists are just like hallowed ground. No one can do a Queen song like Freddie. I can understand an American not understanding that but Carly should know better.

I like David A, but not tonight. There was something a little wrong with his voice, like Simon said, a bit nasally. Maybe he had a bit of a cold. I think the song needed to be longer than the one and a half minutes they allow to get good emotion from it.

I enjoyed Brooke, but it wasn't great, just good.

Jason was the stand out for me tonight. David Cook was possibly the worst, but I truly hope he won't even be bottom three. My guesses for bottom three are Syesha, Carly and Brooke, with Syesha going. I thought Kristy did well tonight (in a country kind of way).

I love that version of Over the Rainbow (though I cut my teeth on the Judy Garland version)... love the IZ version and of course Louis Armstrong's is similar and wonderful too..

I didn't think that David Cook was that bad. And please remind me never to wear a white jacket because I wouldn't want to be pompous.

We first heart that version of Over the Rainbow on '50 First Dates' starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. I loved it in that movie. I have to admit that I listened to it twice tonight. Though I did like Jason earlier in the season his past 3 weeks have done nothing for me musically. Tonight was a welcome change. That rendition (and I will join Escapee on the emotional couch) brought tears to my eyes. It's been a lifting huge weight off my shoulders (some promising health news) kind of day and that song just did it for me.

I was especially impressed that Jason credited him as Braddah Iz. Jason is the epitome of "indie cool."
What gets me about this season of AI is that each week, a different person can stand out above the others, rather than the same 1 or 2 people over and over.
There may not be another Kelly, Carrie, or Daughtry in this group, but they are probably the best Top 8 ever. Each one is good in a different way and there's not much overlapping between the styles like usual.

I watched the show w/my 91-yr-old who doesn't follow the show. He didn't think Jason sang that well because he was too quiet, but he thought SHE was a cute girl. LOL He's been so confused and angry about it lately, I didn't want to spoil his good mood by telling him it was a guy. LOL

I loved Jason tonight! I've liked him since the beginning but had been disappointed the last few weeks and was almost thinking it might be his time but now he flew right back to the top of my list. I enjoyed Brooke and Michael but didn't care for any of the others tonight. I thought Syesha's was the worst and I still don't get the David Archuletta love.

David A was ok. I still am not a fan. He still reminds me of Ernie from Sesame Street.

OMG That is a perfect description! I've been trying to think how to explain how I see him and that is it!!

I love that version of "Over the Rainbow". I think I first heard it on the ER episode when Dr. Green died. That was a heart breaker.

I have it on my I-pod.
