I am really busy at work this week that’s why I did not manage to post an entry about last night’s episode of American Idol. And maybe starting this week, I’ll just merge my “performance” and “results” night into one blog entry because Idol posts have been dominating my blog. Hehehe. Anyway, the finals is already near.

Last night’s episode is interesting to me. The Top 6 sang songs of Andrew Llyod Webber. You know… musicals… I think it’s a tough week and the contestants should pick the right song for them. It’s good that Lord Andrew did a good job as a mentor for the contestants. He really gave advices. He even asked Carly to change her song from “All I Ask Of You” to “Jesus Christ Superstar”. But I am somehow disappointed because nobody sang “All I Ask Of You”.

Anyway, as I said, I am really busy this week that’s why I wasn’t able to watch Syesha’s and Jason’s performances. But based on the recap of their performances, I think Syesha had a good performance last night. Lots of confidence. A performer. I am not a fan of Syesha but I think she did a good job. What I like about Syesha is that whenever she gives a not so good perofrmance, she will be back with a vengeance the week after. She sang “One Rock And Roll Too Many”.

Jason Castro sang “Memory”. I am sorry to all Jason Castro fans but I really get bored when he performs on the AI stage. I always want to see something new from him. I think that he might be in danger this week. Actually, I guess Jason will be the one eliminated this week.

Brooke White sang “You Must Love Me”, one of my favorite songs. Oh my… she forgot the lyrics. I don’t know if the people will still forgive Brooke this time around. If you remember what happend when she sang “Every Breath You Take”, she didn’t hit the right note. Like what I always say, what I like about Brooke is that she sings from the heart. I am somehow disappointed with her version of “You Must Love Me”. Maybe because I am comparing her version with Madonna’s version, which is a good one. I guess she might be eliminated tonight, but I really feel it would be the end for Jason.

David Arculeta sang “Think Of Me”. As usual, it was boring for me. But I think it was a good performance from him.

Carly Smithson sang “Jesis Christ Superstar”. She was supposed to sing “All I Ask Of You”, but Lord Andrew told her that it is not the song for her. And it was a good decision because the judges loved her performance. I think that Carly is getting better every week. I think she will stay in the competition the longest among the girls. (As of now)

David Cook sang “Music Of The Night”. Yah, I know many are disappointed because we thougt he will do another “rock version” of Lord Andrew’s songs. But he didn’t. It was a good song and I think David manage to perform it well. Actually it’s okay for me so that we can see how well-rounded David Cook as a performer. But it didn’t make a huge impact compared to his “Always Be My Baby” version.

And now, my fearless rankings…

1. Carly Smithson - I’ll give it to her this week.
2. David Cook
3. David Archuleta
4. Syesha Mercado - She had a good performance but I think she can’t still make it to the Top 3 tonight.
5. Brooke White - Might be in danger this week but I think Jason will be the one to say goodbye tonight.
6. Jason Castro - The competition is really getting tough. He should have impressed the judges and the audience.

I’ll be updating this blog entry for the results. To be continued…
