Top 3 Perform

The Final 3


Finally the best of the best. I have been looking forward to this week for...weeks. I like the early performances and then the end once they get rid of the riff raff. So here we go!

Round 1:


David A. - And So It Goes - Good job. He has a pitch perfect for acapella-ish songs are always going to be good for him. The music kind of threw it off in places for me. I think it would have been better without the music. But it was still a great performance. Really great. I agree with Simon. It was as expected.

Syesha - If I Aint Got You - Good song choices tonight. I think this made her seem a tad a little bit too old. Her version is not as fresh as Alicia Keyes. For the first time I thought she was shouting. I thought the whole thing was too loud. It wasn't terrible, but not her best performance. She did look lovely.

David Cook - The First Time Ever I Saw You Face - Interesting choice. Sabotage! But I didn't hate it. But I didn't love it. I liked his Broadway music number was his best. I did appreciate him trying his best.

Winner: David A.

Round 2:

David A. - With You - I thought I would hate this. But I REALLY appreciate the fact that he tried something different. Maddie and Taylor were shouting in disgust at the tv. He is NOT hip hop. He has a lot of work to be a pop singer. He is a ballad guy. He might have tried a song by Nick Lachey or Justin Timberlake. Ease into pop like them.

Syesha - Fever - Can you say Stripper? It was a sexy and sultry performance. Extremely easy song. She went back to her bread and butter, stage performance. She is an actress that can sing. She will do well on stage after all this is said and done. She is working it tonight. Not my cup of tea but she is definitely on fire.

David Cook - Switchfoot - Good song choice. No one knows this song in the audience. But he was typical David Cook and it sounded okay. Nothing new. Agree with Paula, it was way too abrupt.

Winner: David Cook


Round 3: The producers got a song choice?!? What the hell!

David A. - Longer - Even though a pretty old song choice, it sounded beautiful coming from him. I got chills. I can hear that song on his album. Great job.

Syesha - Hit Me Up - Perfect song choice. First time I have heard her sing something modern. I think she oversang it a little bit. Like David A., she needed to cut off her lyrics too.

David Cook - I Don't Want to Miss A Thing - His voiced was worked! You can tell he has been practicing for the chance of his life. I think it was a good performance. I think his 2nd or 3rd best performance of the competition. But it is a hard song not to compare to the original. It think he did way better in the earlier rounds.

Winner: David A.

Night winner - David A.

So VOTE!!!!!! I would be absolutely DEVASTATED if either of the Davids didn't make it to the finals. It would be an absolute upset! Especially counting the number of times Syesha has been in the bottom 2.

So I will toss my votes for the Davids, hold my breath tomorrow and look forward to next week. Until then, C-ya!
