American Idol
We’re down to the final four:
1) David Archuleta
2) David Cook
3) Syesha Mercado
4) Syesha Mercado’s boobs
David Archuleta: Last week’s show was right in his wheel house as far as song choices are concerned. I’ve realized while watching this whole American Idol thing that picking the right song is HUGE…it’s like picking the right QB to run your offense. Sometimes when Archuleta has the wrong song, it can be sort of painful. Not Dan Marino running the option bad, but still pretty bad.
I think you still have to call Archuleta the favorite…but the difference between him and David Cook is very, very slim.
David Cook: If Archuleta is option #1a, David Cook is option #1b. I think the judges have a say in this thing, and I think they all like David a lot. They like what we all like: he sometimes brings originality to a song that is nothing short of amazing. I think he has a gift with how we can re-arrange things and then own it; nobody else in this competition has that.
But when he doesn’t re-arrange things – like in “Hungry Like a Wolf” – he comes off as just above average. I see his future more as a song writer/producer but not as a singer/performer. But he could win this thing.
Syesha Mercado: Somebody ‘got to’ Syesha, and I give her all the credit in the world. This is a smart girl that wants to win this thing. All along, I kept thinking about Syesha like this: “Good voice…easy on the eyes…but there’s something missing…”
What am I talking about? All along she’s been missing a personality. I don’t know if she was being fake and is now being herself…or if she was being real and now has changed. Either way she’s a softer, nicer person and I think somebody helped her realize she needed to make that change. I don’t think she ‘fake-cried’ when Paula made those comments. Syesha now seems more thankful for where she’s at, and not as guarded as she once was. She definitely has a chance to win this – I can see her making the top two if one of the David’s has a miscue tonight.
Syesha’s Boobs: They are breath-taking. The gold dress that she wore for the 2nd song (last week) was really, really nice. I could see half of the inside of her boob and that’s halfway to what I want to see all of. I talked about Syesha’s boobs to my brother, he saw them the following day and was disappointed and said that I talked them up way too much. “I was expecting Mariah Carey-like sluttines” was his only comment. I don’t think Syesha (or her boobs) will go that route, but perhaps. Of course the best way this could go is that her entire career goes into the tank, and she winds up in Playboy. A man can dream, can’t he?
ALSO
Jason Castro: I’m SO GLAD he was finally voted off. This is my first American Idol, and I’ve heard that the “4 to 3” cut has had some CRAZY things happen in past seasons. But if anybody besides Jason Castro was let go, I was going to quit watching. Although I didn’t think “I Shot the Sheriff” was quite as bad as the judges made it out to be, it was still pretty bad. Then he forgot half of his 2nd song. It was hard to watch. I absolutely LOVED when Simon growled “I’d pack your suitcase.” in his British accent. That was awesome!
And honestly – I think Jason Castro was RELIEVED to be let go. He was buckling under the pressure and couldn’t remember the words to his song. I understand, and even start to feel bad for him until I realize that he’ll be able to sleep with any girl of his choice age 18-28 for the next two years of his life. I think he’ll be just fine.
