The first one here was pretty good, but the second, "All I Really Need Is You" was pretty awesome! I loved hearing DC do a ballad. We know that he can rock, but it was nice to hear something a little more tender. As my 11-year-old would say. . "Swwwwweeeeet!"

Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown Performing No Air-American Idol Mania Top 7
Jordin Sparks back on the American Idol stage to perform her hit duet No Air.
Brooke White Singing Mariah Carey's Hero American Idol Mania-Top 7
Although I think that playing the piano could have added a lot of authenticity to her performance, unfortunately this was pretty rough for Brooke. I feel for her and I'm a little bit nervous about her lasting more than couple of more weeks. She seems like such a sweet girl; I hope she can hang on a bit longer.
Syesha Mercado's Top 7 Performance of Vanishing
Syesha did a nice job with this one overall. . . definitely not an easy song to sing!
Top 7 Elimination-Kristy Lee Cook Goes Home
Poor little David A. was put on the spot, but handled it well.
After many weeks in the bottom 3, and despite a couple of stronger performances s of late, Kristy Lee is finally sent home. Brooke seems pretty broken up about it.
David Archuleta's Top 7 Performance of When You Believe
Once again, David A. accentuates his strengths. . . nice falsetto too! Technically speaking, David is pretty close to perfect. I will never tire of his smooth vocals (or sweet face).
David Cook's Unique Rockin' Version of Always Be My Baby-American Idol Mania Top 7
D.C. was the bomb this week with his super rockin take on Always Be My Baby. Loved it. . . especially the ending!!!!

American Idol Mania's Favorite Top 9 Performance-Jason Castro
Although Jason may not have the strongest vocals he still has a great voice, very soothing to the ear. I've really enjoyed some of his performances this season, especially his version of Hallelujah, but think this is my new favorite for him. He's so unique in many ways, some might say quirky, but I really think he possess a relaxed, yet compelling style and stage presence. That, in combination with his humble, sometimes goofy personality makes him quite likable.
I loved this performance. In fact it's one of my faves from this season. Also, the ukulele provided an additional unique element to Castro's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Michael Johns Performing Dream On-American Idol Mania
It's hard to believe that THIS was the performance that led to Johns elimination this week.
Michael Johns Shocking Elimination-American Idol Mania
I didn't expect Johns to be sent home tonight. . . at all! I figured that he would be here at least a couple more weeks.
Idol Gives Back Performing Shout to the Lord
I love this song and was pretty surprised (and happy) to see it sung on national tv. Very cool! Don't miss David Cook toward the end of the song. . . pretty incredible (as usual)!

David Archuleta Singing Smoky Mountain Memories-American Idol Mania Top 9
Dolly loved David (along with all the screaming fans). It's pretty cute how he still gets embarrassed from all the teenage girl attention. David is just so likeable and humble and I loved this performance! It was a great song choice for him. His voice is just so smooth and pleasant to the ear.
Brooke White Singing Jolene-American Idol Mania Top 9
Although I don't think this was her best performance, I think that Jolene fits Brooke's voice well. Simon was pretty rude with his comment about the instrumental group looking odd. Not too unexpected coming froming the Simonmeister though, I suppose.
I'd like to hear Brooke do a little Colby Caillat in the coming weeks. I think it might suit her.
David Cook Singing Dolly Parton's Little Sparrow
David Cook, 25 of Blue Springs, MO brought this original performance of Dolly's Little Sparrow. Loved the falseto! Nice ending as well. David Cook rocks. . . what else can I say?
