American Idol Post-Commentary
I’m honestly surprised that Chikezie was voted off. I thought Rami would be gone weeks ago, and every week, I’m surprised when she’s not in the bottom three.
Carly belonged in the bottom three after her performance, but she shouldn’t be sent home just yet. And neither should Sayesha.
The correct bottom three would have been: Chikezie, Ramiele, and Jason, with Ramiele gone.
The top two are consistantly Michael Johns and David Cook. They both will have terrific careers. The rest of a theoretical top five is more difficult, but I’d put it this way: 1. Michael Johns 2. David Cook 3. Brooke White 4. Carly Smithson 5. Kristy Lee Cook.
Yes, I’m not putting Archie in my top five, even though I think he’ll be around for a while. He’s cute, and he can sing okay, but he has no stage presence at all. The only thing I remember about his performance on Tuesday is that it was forgettable.
On another note, the Studio Performances that are being put up on iTunes are fantastic. I’ve bought all the ones Michael Johns and David Cook have done. It’s great to hear what they’d be (kinda) like when they’re actual recording artists. The tiny snippet of a song they’re allowed to sing on air is not nearly enough. Johns’ ‘Day in the Life’ is finally not a choppy mess, but actually a rather good cover. I’d highly reccomend checking it out.
