David Archuleta performed “Smoky Mountain Memories”.  Randy called it a great performance.  Paula told David “you have a beautiful… aura” (whatever that’s supposed to mean!).  Simon said that this week he is on the money.

Kristy Lee Cook actually did a decent job last night!  But I think the producers probably planned to do Dolly Parton night just to keep Kristy alive in the competition.  Just my thoughts!  The beginning was not so great but I have to give her credit for making it good especially at the end.  Randy said this was her “wheelhouse” (again - whatever that means!) and Simon called it “pleasant but forgettable”. 

Syesha Mercado had the best performance of the whole night, in my opinion.  She sang “I Will Always Love You” in a gorgeous yellow dress on a piano.  She had tons of emotion and did an absolutely astounding job.  Randy said it was pretty good.  Paula loved her velvety voice.  And Simon says it was “good but not a fantastic version of the song”.  But what does Simon know? 

Michael Johns was his typical, dramatic self but he did a pretty nice job.  Randy called it a “blazin’ hot performance” and Paula is convinced that Michael is a star. 

Not sure who is going to get the boot on tonight’s results show but it better not be Syesha because that girl deserves some serious Idol love for her performance this week!

Last night, the Idol contestants paid homage to the songs of Miss Dolly Parton.  How did they do, you ask?  Well here is the rundown on what took place last night. 

Brooke White did an amazing job with Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” with the help of a violinist, percussionist and backup singer.  Randy said there were some pitch problems which didn’t seem accurate but whatever.  Cracked out Paula told her that she is consistent and “you are who you are… you.. are… Brooke White.” Wow, Paula.  What great advice?  Simon was not impressed with the band’s performance. 

David Cook sang “Little Sparrow”.  It showed off his falsetto which was cool.  Paula praised his messy haircut and Simon said it was not as good as last week but “if you can make a song about sparrows good, then congratulations.”

Ramiele - what are you wearing??  The girl had orange nails, some weird silver heels and a white top with black suspender shorts.  Uhhh… weird much?  Randy gave her performance a 6 1/2 out of 10.  Simon told her plainly that we are not going to remember the performance in 10 years time and that she belongs on a cruise ship.  

Jason Castro was great great great last night.  He sang “Travelin’ Through” and sounded a lot like Jason Mraz.  It was laid back and really nice.  Randy said it started a little rough but it was good.  Paula said his voice sounded confident.  And Simon, for some insane reason, said he didn’t “get it”.  Honestly, I don’t “get” Simon’s opinions sometimes.

Carly Smithson’s performance was way better than last week.  Randy called it one of the better performances of the night.  Paula just kept oh-my-godding.  Simon said it was good but not great and that “you’ve got to have a word with whoever’s dressing you at the moment” - he says she needs to dress like a star.
