David Archuleta Performing the Beetles Imagine-American Idol Finale

Although this was such a beautiful performance, I would have liked to have seen David A. choose a song that he hadn't performed before. Either way, it was nearly flawless.

Idol Top 11 Carly Smithson Singing Blackbird Last Night

After Simon Cowell compared Carly to Kelly Clarkson last week I was anxious to see her performance this week. Overall I thought it was pretty amazing, even though I'm not sure it was the best song choice. She just has such an incredible voice and I enjoyed hearing her sing her first ballad on Idol.

Brooke White's Top 11 Performance Of Here Comes The Sun

Topping last week's performance might have been nearly impossible for Brooke, and although her quirky version of Here Comes The Sun was not the judge's favorite I agree with Paula that she is a "lovable girl." Her awkward dancing was even sort of endearing. I think many people will like Brooke because she seems like such a real girl. I also appreciate her relaxed and sometimes funny banter with the judges, even though it was maybe a little too much last night. I don't think her performance last night will hurt her with the fans, but we'll just have to wait until tonight to find out.

"Another Solid Look For David Cook", Day Tripper, Top 11 Performance

Check out our MO homeboy's Whitesnake-influenced performance of Day Tripper. I totally disagreed with Simon. I thought it was awesome! I would love to see David Cook and David Archuleta in the top 2. Tell me what you think.

David Archuleta's Near Perfect Top 11 Performace Of The Long And Winding Road

I've recently heard some criticism of David Archuleta's love for the ballad. I think it takes a great singer/performer to capture the audience the way he does when he sings a slow song. Listening to him sing is NEVER boring to me and I'm sure that thousands of others would agree! According to Simon his performance "was a master class." I couldn't agree more!
