American Idol Most Brilliant Performance to date

The Boys stood out today in these week’s American Idol, where the show is all about Mariah Carey’s songs.

David Archuleta started the show with a strong rendition of Miracle, a duet by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. The judges loved him so much that Simon Cowell said that David Archuleta is the one to beat tonight.

Carly Smithson, who seems to be getting beautiful and beautiful every week, followed up with Without You. Followed by Sasyha Mercado with an unpopular song by Mariah Carey.

Brooke White and Kristy Lee Cook’s performance are so damn poor, that I even think that Kristy Lee Cook is about to leave the show. This week might just be it.

The Most Brilliant Performance to date according to Randy Jackson was by no other than Mr. It, David Cook, and the complete package according to Paula Abdul. She even said that his rendition of Always be my baby,could be a movie soundtrack. Randy also said that he could start making a hit record now. Simon also applauded David Cook’s performance. David Cook was all tears after the judges’ raves about him.

Jason Castro ended the show with a cool song, more of a beach song according to Randy Jackson. But it was also a great cover for Mariah’s songs.

American Idol most Inspirational performance

In this week's American Idol whereas the theme is inspirational, there is one performance that I think stood out from among the rest of the Top 8.

It was Jason Castro singing Somewhere over the rainbow. It was the version done by Israel Kamakwiwo'ole that he sings instead of the version by Judy Garland. It was just so inspiring, the audience were caught in awe and was silent as if paying attention to every word that's coming out of Jason Castro's mouth.

Simon Cowell calls it fantastic. Other Idol finalist failed to impress the judge with David Cook, Michael John and Carly Smithson receiving the most blows from the judges.

American Idol still SIZZLES....

Just seen tonight’s episode of American Idol, and all I can say is that the show is in fast pace mode. This year the show, cut the crap of grouping those who survived the Audition. Good thing they cut that part, I mean this show is not about a boy band or girl band or a band. It’s about solo performance. Heck if you’ve been in a bad group you’re luck may run out and you may soon get the boot out.

This year the contestants are getting younger and younger. There was a sixteen year old kid who I forgot his name renders Heaven by Bryan Adams and sung it splendidly. Maybe in the coming shows, I’ll remember their names.

It’s obvious though, that the contestant they focus more are the one who will make it to the Top 24. The show is acquainting the viewers to the contestant, so in time for voting the viewers have their personal pick.

It’s still is a long shot and the Top 24 has not yet been announced, so I wont predict this early on. Good old Simon Cowell still throws some humor and holds his frankness, and Randy Jackson still maintains his coolness. Paula Abdul is the balancing act on the show and yet sometimes she’s over reacting.

I’ll keep you updated on the coming shows.
