Where Your Opinion Counts!

Nightmare on Brooke-Sanjaya Street- Carly Smithson out what a farce!

Andrew Lloyd Webber proved to be successful for most of the Idols. I also think that Mr. Webber himself is a shining example of how to coach the Idols into more successful performances. I was very impressed with how Andrew Lloyd Webber coached the idols and in his truthfulness with the idols. In fact, Andrew Lloyd Webber has an ear for vocals, vocal ranges and really seemed to help the Idols reach greater plateaus in their vocals and helped them hone in their vocal ranges to give better performances. Andrew Lloyd Webber really did an amazing and magnificent job with the Idol competitors.

Syesha Mercado did an outstanding job. Her rendition was so well performed that she managed to get the audience involved as well as the viewers at home. Syesha is more of a Jazzy/Bluesy singer. She gave a powerful strong performance to the point I would say that she and Carly were the best performances of the night. Both David’s came in second to the ladies and Jason third.

Carly Smithson was one of the best performances of the night. I do not think I have ever enjoyed a rendition of the song Jesus Christ Superstar like the one I did the night when Carly sang it. It was a happy song, it was fun and it was well sung by Carly. Andrew Lloyd Webber did well when he was truthful that here first song choice was not designed for her vocal or singing range.

David Archuletta- Again proved he was here to be paid attention to and we did pay attention to him. David proved that even though, think of me was written for a girl/diva that a young man could work the song very well. David did sing the song with soul. It was not one of his weakest performances Simon. I think many people will remember this performance by David.

David Cook did the song justice but not one of his better performance he did do well with it, however I agree with Simon it was too well rounded off and not really the style of singing in David that his fans have grown to love.

Jason Castro did Memory and I thought for the first time that Jason did take a risk and because he did, he sounded much better. He was not exceptional, it was just OK. If anyone belongs on Broadway, it is Jason. Just by his song selections all through the competition, he seems to adhere to Broadway and folk songs.

Brooke White- Well we all know she started off sounding as if she had a frog in her voice. I find that Brooke always seems to do a little something extra to get attention drawn to her. Every week, it is something more then it needs to be. Her vocals were off course, out of tune and basically, it was another poor performance by Brooke. The song was way to grand for Brooke to handle. I disagree with Paula she did over-act, I disagree with Randy she did not listen to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Simon you know full well her performance was not good. She is great at acting, she pouts, she cries, she carries on. Helloooooooooooo, this is a singing competition!

The fact that Carly Smithson was eliminated over Brooke White is astounding. Are you kidding me? There is no way that Brooke out sang Carly nor has she ever been able to outsing Carly. Simon said that Brooke made a mistake and it made her human. Fair enough, but how does Simon explain that Brooke really does not sing that well. She is almost like another Sanjaya if you ask me. In my view, Carly should not have been eliminated, however since she and others such as Michael were eliminated, nothing can be done about it. The crowd in the audience and at home were booing and rightfully so. I think that Carly has a career for herself and American Idol gave her the exposure she needed to now pursue a serious singing career. To be honest on Idol Gives Back and other Ford Commercial songs, it was obvious and clear which competitors out sang others, Carly always out sang Brooke as Syesha always out sang Brooke.

Brooke surviving yet another week, is based on popularity, not on singing talent. Brooke should have been out of this competition in weekof the top 10. So now, some of us are forced to watch Brooke sing another baseless song next week. I will be doing what I have done when Brooke comes on, and that is turn the channel. Seriously, I have been waiting patiently for Brooke to give us a good song and performance, to date it has not happened. I really think that Brooke is in the wrong business, she is a great actor and would do well in that career. I would enjoy her better in acting, or she could be a talk show host, she is dynamic in her personality in those categories, in the career of music she is just an average singer.

The Bottom line is Carly and Syesha out sang Brooke as they have been doing week in and week out. There is no way that either one of them should have been in the bottom two, let alone Carly going home. Simon apologized to Carly for giving her a compliment, he called it the kiss of death, because he felt that America would naturally go against him. I think that is only true in part. There are times some of us actually agree with Simon, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don’t say you heard it from me. GASP!

This week Simon was once more being cordial and nice, Paula is continuing to work on expressing her own ideologies and how she feels about a performance, which continues to be nice to see and hear. I knew Paula had something to say, she just needed to work on expressing herself. Paula is giving more wisdom and experience then she ever has on American Idol. Keep up the good work Paula. Randy is trying to listen and really give good truthful advice. Ryan continues to dazzle us with his fashion.

Next week Neil Diamond will be the idols mentor, alas Jason Castro will have his week of glory and should shine next week. Simon’s protégé Leona Lewis made an appearance on the AI stage last night and sang her song Bleeding Love from her new CD. Simon was beaming with pride.

  1. Jason, as he stood back stage, as part of the final four, yawned – certainly not a bundle of nerves. As he came out on the stage at the end of the show, while others hugged Carly, he was swinging his arms back and forth, front to back, seemingly just a laid back happy camper. I liked him in the beginning – but he’s wearing thin BIG time! He and Brooke should have been in the bottom two – my humble opinion :)

  2. As an older fan I really like Jason’s sweet voice. I don’t think the Randy and Simon were fair to him on his last song. Memory was good, maybe not as good as other songs he has sung, but good enough to stay in the competition. I like your website. Some others are so mean. One said Jason should go because he was yawning? I hope he makes it to the top three.
    I think he is a shy vulnerable sweet guy, and his personality come through.

  3. BROOKE ROCKS. How you can even say she can’t outsing Carly is! Carly screeches,! I’m thrilled Carly is gone, Brooke has the best vocals on the women. And it’s obvious america agrees with me!

  4. Hi Deborah.

    Brooke and Jason were my thoughts on who should have been in the bottom two, with Brooke being the one to go. Jason is very passive, almost like he does not have a care in the world. With Neil Diamond being the mentor, Jason should do well next week. It remains to be seen.

  5. Hi Merle,

    Jason in my opinion is really a folk singer, he reminds me ofa a John Denver type of singer. He would do well in his genre and in certain broadway plays. I never saw him yawning if he did it could not be as basd as Brooke stopping during a song and starting over.

    Thanks for your comment,

  6. Hello Diane,

    You reserve the right to your opinion as I do. I DISAGREE! Brooke did not and could not outsing Carly for real! Brooke is in fact a mediocre singer no more or less then that in My opinion.

    Thanks for your comment

  7. I feel soooo bad for syasha, she has been in the bottom three so many times. And I really think she has the best voice of all. The show is starting to get out of control. I agree with you about Brooke she is getting old and jason is just a dork!!!!
