American Idol, recap of the "top 10"



Really I shouldn't say anything beyond... David Cook! OMG! and thank goodness Debbie was here, she said "that's a Michael Jackson song." (Debbie loved this version.) I was dubious. Having never been an MJ fan, Ben aside, after all, who doesn't love a good rat song, I didn't even recognize it as Billy Jean! Amazing. Stop the show, I wanna get off.

*Edit* I was not aware this version was done by Chris Cornell and was not original. Apparently Ryan did say this, I missed it.**

However, to sum up:

Ramiele: eh
Jason: still like him but tonight: ok
Syesha: heard it before, many, many times
Chikezi: eh
Carly: still love her voice, song that's sung waaaaaaaaay to often though
Michael: ok, but doesn't have enough to win this
Brooke: cute as a button, great voice, will have a career but won't win
David A: did a great job of what ever the heck that song was
Kristy: when you can't win, make it UnAmerican NOT to vote for you! (in spite of the bad notes!) Can you spell pander?

Which takes us back to David Cook: OMG! (and he was humble not cocky which was nice)

ps: not my favourite show as most of them were born in the 80's and the 80's is not what I would call a stellar decade, music wise...
