American Idol - 10 Guys
It's 70's week, a rather dismal decade musically I think.
There were two top acts - David Hernandez singing an authentic "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and David Archuleta singing a creative version of "Imagine" to close the night.
Luke Menard and Chikezie who should have left last week did much better this week. Luke hit some difficult notes and sequences on key and Chikezie found a perfect song to show off his R&B skills.
There was one clear loser - Danny Noriega who missed almost every note on the way to ruinging a Carpenters song, not easily done. But two will go home, and the other should either be Jason Yeager or David Cook, both of whom did bar band songs. I had hoped for better from Yeager.
The rest get a C but should be safe. Michael Johns didn't light my fire, sounded like he was trembling. Jason Castro was annoying dull. Robbie Carrico was more like "warm blooded" but otherwise stayed on key.
So, put me down for Noriega and ... hmmm ... Yeager going home on Thursday.
