Michael Johns needs to get off the stage!  Okay so his Queen medley last night wasn’t the worst thing in the world but seriously dude, you need to just go already.  His performance was pretty decent and then at the end he tried to hit notes that were no where near his range of capability. 

David Archuleta picked a strange song I’ve never even heard of before called “You’re the Voice.”  While it started off kind of so-so it actually was very nicely done.  The catchy melody in the chorus made him shine.  Like Randy said, David manages to take songs that are pretty lifeless and turn them into gold. 

Brooke White sang and played piano to the Police classic, “Every Breath You Take.”  The first half was absolutely amazing.  Brooke is wonderful when she sticks to her guns and does everything solo.  The trouble came in during the second half as cheesy backup singers and the band chimed in to build the song.  It just didn’t work out very well.  But you know what?   This girl is going to go places as a solo artist. 

I hate to say this but HATS OFF TO DAVID COOK!  He completely blew me away with a very different arrangement of “Billie Jean.”  After seeing this performance I really think he has a chance of winning the competition now.  I know, that’s a pretty bold statement!  Let’s not get too carried away though.  I can’t stand David’s personality.  There is something incredibly fake about him.  It just seems like he tries to emulate other artists too much and his attitude is way too cocky to really get too far.  But we’ll see. 

Oh brother - Kristy Lee Cook is back again.  Somehow she keeps surviving from getting booted off the show every week.  The female Sanjaya decided to go with “God Bless the USA” last night which pretty much seemed like a desperate attempt to get America to vote for her.  I guess she figures if she pulls out a patriotic song then Americans will get sentimental and ignore the fact that she sucks.  Oops, did I say that out loud?

Let’s see… tonight is the results show and I’m hoping that if Kristy doesn’t finally get the axe then maybe Michael Johns will be on his way out the door.  However, I’m not so sure that Carly, Jason and Chikeze are safe.  Syesha hasn’t been getting as many votes but hopefully her stellar performance will keep her out of the bottom 3.
