Luke Menard up next… Pretty good start. I like him with this song. Doesn’t seem like ‘him’ but he sounds good. Randy thinks there are pitch problems but overall pretty good. Paula thought it was a perfect song for him. Simon hated it. He said it was a mistake, and Luke had no charisma or personality.
Robbie Carrico doing Hot Blooded. Not feeling that. To me that is what I think they mean saying ‘karaoke’. Randy thinks he might not have a ‘rock’ voice, but it was okay. Paula thought he played it safe, lost his character. Simon thought the vocal was okay.
I am disappointed in Danny Noriega. I cannot believe he is doing Karen Carpenter. How do I not compare? Randy thinks he needs to ‘let it go’ and don’t over-think it. Paula thinks he has amazing skill, agrees with Randy on the over-thinking. Simon likes him because he is interesting, looks terrific on camera. Said the performance was better.
Next up is David Hernandez. I like this one. He sounds much better this week! I like this song for his voice. He does make weird faces tho… Randy said ‘this is the David Hernandez we fell in love with”. Paula said he has a pure voice, hit amazing notes. Simon thought it was the best vocal of the night.
Jason Yeager. I want to like this guy, but he always seems cheesy. He’s obviously talented. I don’t know. Randy thought it was pitchy. Heh, he always says that. He also mentioned karaoke. Paula thought there weren’t many notes to hit in his song, didn’t show off his voice. Simon felt he was awkward and ordinary. Did he just say corny??
I wonder what Chikezie will do? Last week was so… Hey this is good. Much better than last week !He looks normal too… Randy says “Chikezie is back!” Paula thought he was fun and brilliant. Simon thought it was a million times better! Chikezie defends his suit, disses Simon!
Here comes David Cook. I like this guy! Now he is a rocker! Great performance. Randy says he is a real rocker, smart song choice. Paula thinks he is the real deal, said ‘ya got it’, loved it. Simon said it was a solid, believable performance, but not a lot of charisma.
Finally David Archuleta. He is amazing. Sounds amazing. Powerful ending. Randy actually said it was the ‘best vocal I have ever heard on the show’, brilliant. Simon thinks that David is the one to beat. I would agree!
So there we go. Another week for the boys. What do you think of these guys? Any favorites yet?
Okay here we go again. I am not live blogging, obviously. Hello, that is like so much work. Not to mention that I am on the west coast. It has already aired. What is the point? Well, it’s fun I guess, but I gotta be in the mood.

If I had to pick - David A. I’m not sure I really care who wins, but he performed the best. (;
