Tonight was Beatles night for the American Idol Season 7 top 12. Let’s go over the first half, shall we?
Syesha Mercado did a lovely rendition of “Got To Get You Into My Life”. Randy said she started off a little rough but then she had some fun with it. Paula agreed and said it began with some pitch problems but she managed to find her “zone”. Simon thought it was a great choice of song and even though she was a little nervous in the beginning she still did a good job.
Chikezie Eze rocked it out to change things up. His performance began with a banjo and fiddle version and then broke out into an interesting and funky arrangement. It seems like his outfits and performances keep getting better so that’s a step up!
Ramiele Malubay did her usual slow and pretty routine. I don’t know, I really like this girl but I think she’s fallen into a rut. Randy thought it was pretty but boring and Simon said he expected much better from her.
Jason Castro also returned to his usual routine with his guitar in hand and a sweet little song. Randy liked it but thought he changed the melody too much. Paula thought it was good and likes that he shows emotion when he plays. And Simon compared it to a student alone in his bedroom at night.
Carly Smithson finally wowed the judges tonight with “Come Together”. Randy was very impressed and called it a stellar performance. Paula felt like she was watching a true star on stage. Simon thought she finally picked the right song. He compared it to Kelly Clarkson’s breakout performance in week 7 of the first season.
David Cook actually didn’t sound that bad tonight with “Eleanor Rigby”. He’s still a little too dramatic for my liking but at least he was a little more believable tonight. Randy thought he proved he could rock out even though he started a little rough. We all know Paula has a huge crush on him. She called him the dark horse of the competition and thought he was fantastic. Simon thought it was brilliant and told him that if the show remains a talent competition and not a popularity contest, he could have a shot at winning.
