Simon's song choice for David Cook was totally DUMB! Even so, David Cook managed to pull it off quite well. I wonder if Simon was trying to sabotage David Cook with this completely off the wall song choice.
Archie's Chris Brown thing didn't pan out for me. He sang great on the other two songs, but it does seem to show up the fact that he mainly sings retro type ballads, and that isn't really what's happening in music today. Admittedly, he sings them VERY well. Better than anybody really. Also, his stage presence needs a lot of work. That habit of shutting his eyes all the time while singing a love song isn't a good thing.
Syesha did very well. I thought her version of Fever was about the best I've ever seen that song done. As for the judges blasting her for song choice on the "penguin song" that was dumb and I wish she had defended herself by pointing out it wasn't the song she chose to sing. It was the producers choice.
In spite of what the judges said, I don't think anybody really blew anything last night, although the peculiar song choices made for a somewhat boring evening.
I think David Cook did the best, especially with his last song. His second song was just starting to get interesting and then it ended. I agree with Paula on that point.
