American Idol7 - Top 9 Perform 4.1.08 - Recap (HQ) 11/11

American Idol 7: Top 9 Perform
Date: Tuesday, April 1 2008
Week: 7
Theme: Dolly Parton songs


MY RECAP:
----------------------

Best Performances: Michael Johns, Carly Smithson, David Archuleta

Worst Performances: Ramiele Malubay & Kristy Lee Cook

-----------------

This week's mentor was Dolly Parton and she seems like a sweetheart, but damn she looks like 3 plastic surgery's too much. And than the hair (or wig?) and the make-up...Lord. .TMTH
But I must admit, Dolly Parton is one hell of a songwriter! Very nice songs and nice performances this week.
Intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAsvPjeuozU
-----------------------

1) Show starts with Brooke White and she did just her average thing. No surprises here.

2) David Cook follows and it was good. Nice vocals & he was confident as usual. Never noticed the new haircut..:) Read he got sick later on, I hope everything is cool now.

3) This is getting a bit boring. Some contestants are not growing anymore and Ramiele Malubay is one of them. Too bad cause I really thought she would have done something spectacular by now. May be in the bottom.

4) Jason Castro is my sweetheart, he's so damn goodlooking!..:) But like Ramiele he is not really growing anymore. But I love his voice and he has a certain style I like. It's all about the right song choices. Hallelujah is still his best. May be in the dangerzone.

5) One of my favourites of the night. Carly Smithson does a great job and her hair looked great. I think Simon's comment about her outfit was a little mean but a nice dress would have been nice too.

6) David Archuleta does a great job but he's losing ground here. Others are gaining popularity. This guy should only sing ballads, that's totally his thing.
Worth watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8iFimArTh0


7) And then I had to go get my bucket...AGAIN! Kristy Lee Cook is so deep in Simon's ass, busy kissing it, it made me sick! Yuck mi no like this girl...
She looked nice though and did a good job since country is her thing. Singing something about being poor in all types of colors, that should get all the trailer votes! 'Thank u Simon, love you!'....(sigh..I think I need to throw up now.)

8) This girl is having a hard time. Syesha Mercado is not getting the credits she deserves cause she's not the chosen one. Some pretty redneck is..if you get my point. Nobody can out sing Whitney on this one, but she did a decent job, it wasn't that bad. I think she will go home real soon (too bad though). And she looked fabulous in that yellow dress, I want one too!...:)

9) Michael, Michael you bad boy. Damn that was one sexy performance, can't deny it..this guy got IT (ladies, you know what I'm talking about..lol). This is the guy I liked when he did Otis Redding during his audition, soulful. Beautiful song and great vocal performance.

Some comments for particular contestants from myself.

Brooke White: I can't believe I predicted she was going to be eliminated that week.

Kristy Lee Cook: I can't believe she was in the bottom 2. I thought she did a good performance.

Syesha Mercado: I felt like when I was at last years tour listening to Lakisha Jones perform that song.

David Archuleta and Michael Johns: They were in a league of their own that week.

[Toothart]

I have nothing against Archuleta but I do not like the way he sings and evidently that is not just me; I also sing, play the piano, play both electric & acoustic guitar. I have many musician friends who agree with me. You must be his dad!

[davidarchangelfan]

Hello? Are you deaf - you forgot Archuleta!
