AMERICAN IDOL UPATES : WEEK 28 APRIL 2008

This week the contestants get to sing two songs from Neil Diamond each. Here are my verdict of the performances:-

David Cook : I'm Alive - Didn't quite like the low notes in the beginning, nothing great / All I Need Is You - I liked this performance, beautifully sung, good vocals, great arrangements

 

David Archuleta : Sweet Caroline - Boring, went out of tune a bit during the first chorus - / America - Uplifting, he actually slipped again during the 1st verse but hey, nobody cared right, it was good overall 

Syesha Mercado : Hello Again - Beautiful performance, she looked elegant, and sounded elegant / Thank The Lord For The Night Time - My favourite performance of the night, powerful and amazing! Syesha has grown so much in this competition, from being quite inconsistent vocally, everyone thought she was going out soon being the usual bottom 3 week and week, but she has proven to have improved & she's here to stay.

Jason Castro : Forever In Blue Jeans - I actually quite like this song, suited his style / September Morn - Not a good song choice for a competition, nothing to show off what he can do.

Brooke White : I'm A Believer - The song was a bit too big for her, having to play guitar at the same time, and have that rock N' roll attitude, which she didn't pull off / I Am I Said - Much better performance from her that night, but it wasn't as good as the judges said, she was still the weaker contestant for the night to me

I still feel it's going to be a David vs David at the finals, question now is, will Jason or Syesha get the Top 3 spot. Looking at popularity, Jason's definitely getting the stronger votes especially from the ladies.
