Syesha Mercado does Webber Proud on American Idol

I don't know about the bottom three, but Jason Castro should go home. He did a really bad job, the worst of the night. I thought Brooke's restart started a little rough, but for me it picked up around the middle. Loved David Cooke, he really did a wonderful job in my opinion.

I liked Webber as a guest mentor. He actually seemed to know how to bring out a better performance from the singers (shocking I know) and he was actually honest in his appraisals of the singer. Usually the mentors just spout some feel good bull@!$%# about all of the singers. I liked when the camera switched to him in the audience after David A. sang. He did not look happy.

Yeah, after weeks and weeks of boredom Syesha finally showed something. Lucky for it it'll keep her alive for another week. Or maybe not, apparently being first isn't good for your fate...

It's a pity but probably one of Jason or Brook will go this week as they were clearly the worst performances of the night. I thought David A was quite boring yet again, but with 2 positive votes from judges, the voters will ignore Simon.

I really liked how Andrew Lloyd Webber really got in there and gave great advice. Since he's a composer he knows how to work with musicians to get the best out of them. Other musicians like Mariah and Dolly know what works for them, but can't help others all that much, plus they tended to be too positive and not critical enough. Andrew was willing to straight out tell Carly that she picked the wrong song, and she owes him as her first choice would have led to her being sent home this week. Instead, she really rocked "Jesus Christ, Superstar" though she did get a little shouty during the chorus.

David cook was solid, nothing amazing, but it was nice seeing him being more conventional and letting his voice carry him this week, because it worked.

Two restarts for Brooke now? It's just too unprofessional. That's not going to fly in a real concert. It's okay if it happens once but it left a bad taste in my mouth. And Brooke used to be my favourite. She's really degenerated. I think her and Jason don't get with only 6 left average performances won't fly.

I personally didn't like David Cook's pick, I felt it was not a great pick for him. I'm in the Simon camp I guess - he did the best he could but it was pretty forgettable.

Unfortenately, I think Jason has proved Simon's point that he doesn't seem to put all that much effort, because even I, with extremely limited musical experience, could tell it was bad.

David A. bores again. Syesha obviously should follow a career to broadway, it suits her, and I think if she's truthful with herself she loves it more than American Idol popish stuff.

My (ideal) bottom three: David A, Jason, and Brooke with Brooke packing her bags.

Syesha is a whole lot of pzazz!, taking flight with the melodies, traveling the course from start to finish with smooth tenderness in that pretty red dress with a pretty, on screen presence....destined for greatness. Screen and stage ready! Music to my ears!

I only saw the last two performers so I missed Brooke messing up. Dang.

Syesha is a really good bluesy singer. She needs the upbeat songs to show her best. David Cook has a narrow range of songs that he can do well. When he is in that genre, he is excellent. David Archuleta has been the cute kid for too long. He will need to take some lessons to really develop as a professional singer. He does not have the humility to do that. Jason Castro is another that does not have the sense (humility) to accept constructive criticism. He is destined to be a wedding singer or the entertainment director on a cruise ship. Carly has a chance to be the next Cher. Decent singing ability with an attitude to go with it.

I vote Jason simply because I'm tired of looking at that mess on the top of his dome...
Non-black guy + dreads = cringe.

I think Brooke is ready to go home... she just doesn't seem to have her head in it...

David Cook will win this season and deservedly so. I think Davd Archuleta can do no wrong in the judges eyes but then again Melinda Doolittle was in the same position last season and that did not stop her getting voted off. Archuletas performances are getting repetitive and monotonous and his time is almost up.

I have been less than impressed with the choice of this year's guest instructors. These songs were all wrong for idol.....I think the bottom 3 will be: Brooke, Syesha, and Jason....all 3 are very vulnerable ---though of the 3 I like Brooke best.

I think David C. is by far the best Idol has ever had. He is the complete package. David A is good but a needs to mature and get a little more versatile. JASON GO HOME!!!. Can't stand his wimpy way of singing he has no personality. Carly is great and Syesha is OK something about her bugs me can't put my finger on it. Some times she is very good and other times a bomb,she's not consistent. Brooke also needs to go home her time is up.

I loved David Cook (big surprise) and Carly. The Phantom of the Opera and Jesus Christ Superstar are my two favorite ALW musicals. I thought Syesha was very good. David A. bores me to tears, Jason was just eh and I didn't like Brooke at all. I didn't realize AI allowed do-overs until she did it (twice now!). I hope Brook goes home tonight.

I knew that Jason wasn't going home.....he has a buncha young groupies voting for him....he's kinda like barack obama that way.

I think Brooke has alot of talent, I think she got too nervous with the big crowd.
but I think this whole idol thing will definitly help her in the future.
She will be working on her new cd this time next year, and I will be buying it my Christmas.
I think she is a beautiful person and she is an American Idol.
