However, I caught all of the singers on YouTube earlier today. Thank you, Al Gore, for the internet. As the resident expert on all things Mariah, I must pitch in my two cents. David Cook was hands down the best. When I heard he was doing "Always Be Steve's Baby", I was thinking NOOOOOOO...Don't do it!!! I think David Archuleta was a surprising second best. Yes, it was predictable but the kid can flat out sing. I didn't think Krisy Lee was actually that bad. In fact, she was starting to grow on me until (spoiler alert) she got voted out tonight. The song she sang, a lesser known Mariah hit, is one of my favorites. While she did not do a lot of the runs that Mariah does in the original, she did a respectable job for a tough song. Brooke should have gone. As Simon should have said, her performance was "positively dreadful".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314421757278134100.post-74540447567043799742008-04-16T12:19:00.000-04:002008-04-16T12:19:00.000-04:00I'm just done with Clinton.

I think she's just like Huckabee was -- technically still in the race because the delegate threshhold hasn't been met, but hanging on with no real chance of winning. It's unfair to Huckabee; he's more likeable and he didn't promote either of the Dems as being better than McCain in any way, as opposed to some of the things the esteemed Senator from NY has said.<BR/><BR/>As for Idol, I think I am biased against Jason and KLC. I do think that Syesha is going home though. I agree that the Bottom 3 should be girls (I say Syesha, Brooke, and Carly because KLC keeps skating by) and Syesha has been hanging on by a thread for weeks now.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501231232413758151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314421757278134100.post-44283397392748910962008-04-16T09:57:00.000-04:002008-04-16T09:57:00.000-04:00Two comments:1.

Well, maybe I would put David A. in third, not because I liked it (thought it was really boring and I'm getting to where I often don't like the sound as a preference thing), but because I can acknowledge that it was well done. I liked Jason's performance. And as for the girls (who would all probably be ranked lower than the guys), while I don't think any of them did all that well, I thought Brooke was by far the worst. She screeched and squeaked all through her song. Followed by Carly who simply screamed most of it (those "big" notes were not pleasant sounding at all). I'd probably say a toss up between the remaining two, but since I like the song itself better, probably give a tiny edge to KLC. Yeah, they both had a couple pitch problems, but I didn't think nearly as much as it seems you thought, plus they actually "sang" the songs (i.e., no screaming, screeching, or squeaking).<BR/><BR/>That being said, I'll predict that the bottom three will be KLC, Syesha and either Brooke or Carly. Not sure who I think is going home; quite possibly any of them, but probably most likely one of the first two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
