American Idol: The Final Four

David Cook
First song: "Hungry Like The Wolf" Great song, but I didn't love it. He seemed rushed and seemed to breeze through it.

Second song: "Baba O'Reilly" GREAT song choice. NICE. I think he did a good job.

Syesha
First song: Who would have thought she would be the last girl standing?? "Proud Mary." I LOVE this song. She looks GREAT. I have to admit - go back and look at my previous AI posts - this girl has come a LONG way. I thought she did a pretty good song and looked HOT. (I do understand what Simon said about her performance being a "bad impersonation of Tina Turner.)

Second song: "A Change is Gonna Come." Again, looks hot. Honestly, since she found a way to showcase her personality, I've been SO surprised by how much I like her. Good for her! (She still won't win.)

Jason Castro
First song: "I Shot the Sheriff." Eh. I mean, it's not a bad song choice for him, but it didn't do anything for me. I think unless he can pull off another "Somewhere over the Rainbow" level perfoamance, he's going home.

Second song: "Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man." Uh yeah, bye bye Jason.

David Archuleta
First song: "Stand By Me." I'm sorry. He just doesn't do it for me. I don't even like his voice! WTF??

Second song: "Love Me Tender" If he wins, I'll puke. He's going to win, tho, isn't he?!

All in all, I felt like the songs were rushed and we didn't really get to experience the full potential of any of the finalists. However, I have to rank 'em so here it goes:

1. David Cook
2. Syesha
3. David Archuleta
4. Jason Castro

I love reading your take on the idol contestants each week.
My take on the final four last night ...
David Cook - didn't like him at first but now IMO he's got what it takes to make it. Rock on and win.
Syesha - She just keeps getting better. She won't win but she will go places.
David Archuleta - I want to gag when he sings. Can he do anything besides slow mush?
Jason Castro - dude, don't smoke so much before the show. Simon called it ...pack your bags.

See, there's something about David Cook that I don't like. He'll probably win but I just don't like him!

The only thing now I don't like about David Cook is his looks.
