American Top 8 Tonight

Yup Top 8 and Idol gives back tomorrow. which means probably no one will go home this week.
So what's good? Micheal Johns opens the show with a decent performance. Just ok.

Next come Syesha which gaves Fantasia Debut Single. not exactly the perfect song choice because bound to be compare. but she did a pretty good job. for those who have not heard the Fantasia version she may be able to get tru.

Jason did a little wierd version with the smllest guitar available. I was not that enthusiastic about it as the Judges. and I believe he have lost a lot of votes throughout the season and 3 times a charm and he's on his way down after this.

surprisingly this time around Kristy Lee Cook did a decent version of her song really. not too country nor too poppy so just nice.

So if Syesha and Kristy is through who would be backing up this week's line. well surprise surprise. David Cook for the first time after entering the top 12 didn't deliver. last week he almost didn't deliver. but he did just right. this really not really that impressive. after such great performance, it's pretty hard to get any better so there's only one way to go? down. I hope not. but this time really Syeshe actually have a decent performance that coud bring her up to top 3.
Carly Smithson also didn't do well with her Shouting Angry Mama version of the song. so..... there goes the first 2 seats of the line up this week.

What about David Archuleta. Him? if you want to really pick bones in the Eggs. the performance are perfection, just that he need more training. HAHA! He deliver again and finally he pull off for once on an instuments. he's no Brooke (apperently she knows every instument.) but his performance are much much better than any version of any of Brooke performance. so quantity doesn't really matter it's quality and this one just puts him firmly on the top 1 seats. He started a bit shaky but as he sang the first high note he arrange into the song that's it. and if anyone actually pay any attention you'll find that when the camera flow through the LCD screen you'd be mesmerize by the way he sings. and at the end you look at the back of the judges. everyone is smiling. and that's what's called star power. I know that I say he haven't got the best recording but there's no doubt he got star appeal in live performance.

Brooke closes the show with the famous Carole King Song. it is ok. but it's more of a Carole King Style than a Shania Twain or Celine Dion style of the version. so it's just as Micheal Johns is just OK.

This week's Ranking will be of course

1. David Archuleta
2. Syesha Mercado
3. Kristy Lee Cook (I never thought she'll get that far from the first 3 show)
4. David Cook (Based on previous performance hit, he should be at this rank)
5. Carly Smithson (Also because there's still some steam from previous weeks that's keeping her going)
the Lowest 3 will be Tough
6. Brooke White(I beleive though she did well, but now is the moment for those that's not getting a lot of votes in that normal doesn't break it.)
7. Jason Castro (To have a performance of an average flat tone, yes he got unique voice but no climax means less intriguing)
8. Micheal Johns (I think he is losing steam all together this week. since he have not been incredible. if no votes swifts his way then he is on the queue as the rest to move out)

though it's really hard to predict any result for the last 3 person because the votes could swing all 3 ways. because they didn't really F*** up big time. it's just too average to actually garner any momentum to move ahead anymore.
Syesha is doing better and better each week. it depends how much people like her choice this week. it's really a make it or break it choice that is. Kristy however doing good or better than Carly even this week. there's still a chance that she may lose it because of her previous vulnerability and votes deficiency. So it depends which way the audience actually is voting. whether they remain tru to who they like or move according to this weeks performance.
