My favorite weeks on American Idol are always those in which the contestants are forced to tackle an odd musical genre or style. This week the six remaining singers got to meet one on one with musical god Andrew Lloyd Webber who coached them each through a song from one of his many musicals. Overall, the night was okay... I was not really surprised by any of the performance, although I was a bit underwhelmed by a few.
Carly Smithson was probably my favorite, singing "Jesus Christ Superstar." The upbeat tempo and fun lyrics really complimented her voice. She actually looked happy while she was singing for once. What a nice surprise!
David Cook was also surprisingly good this week. He sang one of my favorite musical number, "Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera. It was eerily composed and a bit creepy, but his voice sounded amazing.
Syesha (to my disapproval) sang well this week, too. I really don't like her, but this musical theater genre is where she shines. Darn.
David Archuleta, I am getting rather bored with you. If you sing another ballad, I think I may gouge my eyes out. I'm beginning to think that you are incapable of singing any upbeat songs. Lucky for you, you have about a million preteen fans worshiping you.
Jason and Brooke, I'm rather disappointed with you both. I know that this is definetly not your music genre, but your selections were rather dull and unispiring. I was hoping for a little more from you. I think one of the two of you will surely be going home tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not Brooke...
