Life - The Going Gets Tough

Ok I just watched and listened to the performances of the Top 10 American Idol Finalists and I must say, for the first time this season, it will be hard to pick the bottom three especially the one who will get voted out tomorrow night.

It would have been a safe choice to pick Kristy Lee Cook but the girl sang a song entitled, "God Bless America" for goodness sakes hehe. So she will not be voted out, not with that song!

Ramielle, our hometown girl sang "Alone", not powerful enough compared to Carrie Underwood but it was nice that she put her spin on it. She will be saved for this week but will be in the bottom three in my opinion.

Jason Castro, our dreads man did not pull off a good performance for tonight, pitchy in the end and it sounded off. Fragile was his song choice. Again another contestant who I think will be in the bottom 3.

Finally, the last person to complete my bottom three list would be Chikezie Eze, he sang "If Only for One night." Borrowing Simon's trademark one liners, the performance was Forgetable, enough said.

Best Performance for the Night:

Usually there is just one but for tonight I think two contestants stood out like a sore thumb ( that makes two sore thumbs)

First was David Cook's rendition of Billie Jean, now no one could accuse him of plagiarizing that arrangement, it was unique and his performance was flawless. The judges think he could win it this year, well Mr. Archuleta will make sure he won't!

Second best performance for the night would be from Syesha Mercado. This bubbly girl is a late bloomer. Although touted as one of the best at the start of the Hollywood week, she faltered during the start of the performance of the Top 12. But she came back with great songs for the last two weeks in a row. Syesha sang "If I were your Woman."

Anyways for my bold prediction for the one who will be let go tomorrow night.....drum roll please.....Mr. Eze
