Randy: Oh, god, dude. That song and that time--greatest ever. To sing that song (Doobie Bros) was not good choice. Very karaoke for me. Paula: From last week to this week, fun to see you. It's a song that has not many notes in it--doesn't show your range. So be careful to choose singer-songs. Simon: Last week was boring. This week was awkward. You looked drunk at a party. The ending was corny, ghastly. You're just a quite good singer who can't perform very well. Geesh. They were very hard on him, IMO.

Chikezie next. Nigerian name (missed what it was, though. Chikezie is a form of it that most people can handle.) Bluesy song: I think it was 'You Know My Name' He did so much better than last week! I actually liked it. Randy: Much better! Paula: Brilliant. Simon: Missed his comments. But it's clear they were good ones! Now talking about his red suit from last week. Simon said, 'Well, you must wear it again.' Chikezie said," Can't do that. Can't wear the same thing twice. Only you do that." Hahahaha! Simon likes him now. Smart-alec. Chikezie was also good enough to mention a back-up singer who is the daughter of the original singer of this song.

David. Word guy. Loves words, crossword puzzles, etc. Singing, "All Right Now" Love this song. He's good on stage. Accompanying himself with guitar (course can't hear it, with the real backup of the band and singers; btw, I like that addition this year.) I like his voice and like him!

Looks like this week it is the girls week for the taking. Overall a weaker night than last week for the boys.

David Cook Randy: Really kinda believed you. Liked it. Paula: Band on fire tonight. You are the real deal. You got it. Kind of song every band wanted to play and one where every girl fell in love with the guitar player. David: "I'm okay with that." Simon: You were believable. Didn't like the film. No charisma. Uh oh. David responded: "Fortunately, the way this show works, I don't have to charm you; I have to charm the public." Ryan said to Simon: "You look annoyed." "I know what the rules of the show are. Actually, the criticism here is meant to help contestants." Ryan closed by saying, "I don't think he meant any disrespect."

I am disappointed the hometown boy got mouthy tonight. He was all over the news tonight. Students were buzzing about him today.

David Archuleta. I love this little guy; he is so gifted. Singing Lennon's, "Imagine" Wow, what a choice! GREAT voice. Great timing. Love him!

Randy: Been saying all this year it's about the young ones. That was one of the best vocals I've heard this YEAR. That was brilliant. Born to do this (sing and entertain). Randy, "Why didn't you sing the first verse?" David: "Third verse is my favorite; has a great message." (What a deep kid!) "Hot, hot," said Randy. Paula: I want to squish you and dangle your head over my rear view mirror. (Parents giggling) You were brilliant. One of the best versions she's heard of the song, such a great song, she said. Simon liked him, too. Said it was very risky taking on a song like that. (Actually missed the rest of his exact words--but he must have said it worked.) He's a good kid; humble guy.

I would say at this point he will be hard to beat. No one stands out like he does yet

Up until this point I always thought for me, for my taste that Clay Aikens version of Solitaire was the best performance on AI, David Archuleta tonight was as good or better, this kid is a real talent.

I guess I'm the odd girl out. David A just doesn't do that much for me. I truly know he is a very gifted singer and a really cute young boy, but I only see him as a performer on the Disney Channel, not somebodyy I would buy music from...although I have no doubt my daughter would. I just don't any depth in him. But he is truly gifted. And where in the heck was Paula tonight? Who was that woman sitting in her chair who was actually making rather inciteful observations and was able to speak clearly and coherently? I thought she was amazing.

I will have to review all this in the morning, but I am pretty sure I am firm on the fact that Danny screwed up my fav Carpenters song.

Chickeze was great and so was the guy who sang the Papa was a rolling stone song. I found the last guy who they praised so much kinda boring. What was his name again? This is the first time this season I have watched.

David Archuleta was the final singer. I think Danny Noriega and the second Jason were the two weakest, although I'll even admit that my favorite, Jason Castro, wasn't as good this week as he was last week. But I hope he sticks around. Chikeze really was impressive on that song tonight. So was David Hernandez. They both brought their "A" game this week.

I have to agree with you, Naja. That Carpenters song was butchered, totally. He was bad. And I also agree with Roxi. David A is very talented but I see him as this year's Melinda. He's skilled way above the other talent this season and I think it will grow old. Personally, I did NOT like what he did to the John Lennon song. DH loved this version but I don't that he compared it to the JL version the way I did. I called up and voted for Jason C (dreads) and got through every time. I dialed up more times and was shocked to always get through. Then I dialed up the guy right after him (to check the lines) that looks like a good looking Orlando Bloom and his line was free too. I think that Danny should go this week and also the guy that said he self taught 3 instruments.
