Tonight was the first time I watched American Idol this season. I usually like to jump in just around the end of a season and get the snippets. But of course I had to watch tonight because of Mariah Carey.
First of all… David Cook… wow. I’ve heard his name, and I always look out for the people I hear buzz about before I’ve ever seen them perform. I don’t know the first thing about him or his style, but this performance of “Always Be My Baby” was incredible. I loved it!
Next on my radar was David Archuleta. What a cutie. And yes, I know he’s 17. I’m not being some dirty perv. I’m just saying he’s adorable. I liked his performance of “When You Believe”.
Syesha Mercado’s “Vanishing” performance was really rock solid, although very “safe”. She hit all the right notes, everything was in tune. But it was a carbon copy of the original. I did notice the comment about it being a song that people wouldn’t know, so I’m not sure how other people perceived it. But if you are a Mariah fan, you’ll probably know the song really well.
You are a dirty perv and we already know it. I’m just glad that you finally, at least, were able to say the words out loud. It’s turned into a popularity contest with the elimination last week of Michael Johns, one of the top three in my opinion. Having lost him, here are my choices:
1. David Cook
2. David Archuleta
3. Carly Smithson (was doing fantastic in the beginning)
4. Nobody else. I don’t like any of the rest of them. At all.
And Michael Johns should still be there. Damn it.
