Broadway Bound

Holy Canoli!

Could I be any happier? Andrew Lloyd Webber and American Idol? The drama geek in me was doing a "go, fight, win" cheerleader cheer. :o)

Seriously...I really loved tonight's show. While a bit unpredictable in spots, it was nonetheless enjoyable.

It was great to see
Syesha PERFORM.

I wanted to pet Jason's dreads while he sang that girly kitty song.

I felt bad that Brooke forgot her lyrics, but thought she recovered well enough.

I liked David A.'s updated and manly version of another girly song.

I think Carly rocked the house.

I wanted to pop David C.'s head off and hang it from my rear view mirror.

Fun, fun, fun!

Sadly, I think Brooke will go. She just hasn't been able to turn in those solid performances when it really matters, her self-confidence has been seriously lacking and I think she's become a bit distracted by the "real life" things she's missing out on. Those three things combined may be her downfall.

Jenny's Thought on Top 6

I thought tonight's show was good. At this point I really don't want to see any of the contestants go. I think they are all very talented. Unfortunately, someone has to go home every week.

Syesha "One Rock and Roll Too Many" - It was nice to see her actually get into a song and feel completely at ease with it. I thought she did a good job with it.

Jason "Memory" - I figured that someone would be singing this song tonight, but I never would have guessed that it would have been a guy - and I especially never would have thought it would be Jason who sang it. I don't think his vocals were spot on, but I still liked his version of it. I think he did better than the judges gave him credit for.

Brooke "You Must Love Me" - I am really disappointed that she didn't sing the song that I wanted her to sing because I think she could have done a great job with it. I was disappointed with her little mess-up of the words, but I guess she's gutsy enough to start over. It's not quite as smooth though when she's not at the piano...it's much more obvious. I feel like she's really struggled with her sound the past few weeks. I think she's had a hard time doing her type of music with the themes she's been given. I really think this week hurt her and I think she might be the one to go this week. I'm a fan so I'd like to see her stay and redeem herself!

David Archuleta "Think of Me" - Once again I was a little surprised by the song choice, but I think he did a great job. I liked it a lot and I especially liked his arrangement of it. Great job, David!

Carly "Jesus Christ Superstar" - I think Andrew Lloyd Webber was right to have her switch songs. She did a great job with this song. I agree with the judges that it was a little screechy in the middle, but I think this was a really strong night for her.

David Cook "Music of the Night" - Yay, he took my advice! I was so hoping that he would put "his" spin on this song though. I think it could have been very eerie sounding and powerful if he had made his own arrangement of it. However, I still think he did a good job. I just would have liked to see more of him in it.

Bottom Three: Syesha, Brooke, Jason. I really think Brooke might be in trouble this week. I think she kind of shot herself in the foot. Hopefully America can be forgiving and give her another chance, but I don't know.
