David Cook’s rendition of Mariah’s song Always Be My Baby hit the airwaves fast and it is the most favorite and requested song. I really like how he delivered it, I even downloaded it to my Ipod. :)
Definitely, Cook will be on American Idol top 3. He is not much of an attraction at first as I only see him as another rocker-wannabe. But after singing Always Be My Baby, he became the hunk of American Idol season 7. I think, it would be David A versus David C on the final bout. ;)
David Archuleta picked Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley. I like David, but I think his performance last night was pretty boring. His voice is good at ballads but not on rock and roll. There are many rock and roll songs to choose at but the American Idol Top 4 had bad choices I think.
Love Me Tender lyrics:
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

I totally agree with Randy Jackson’s comment, David Cook should have chosen a really rock and roll song instead of Duran Duran’s “Hungry like the Wolf”. He has a vocal like a rock star, which reminds me of Chris Daughtry. It was ok though but not quite appealing to me.
Hungry like the Wolf lyrics:
(ha ha)
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do

This is definitely not Jason Castro’s best performance. He only got Bob Marley’s hair but he messed up his song. I think Syesha Mercado will be on the top 3, lucky gal. Anyway, here’s the lyrics:

Brook White sang I’m a Believer and I am…I said, her choices of Neil Diamond’ songs. I’m still a big fan of her but David Archuleta is still the best. Here’s the video and lyrics:
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
Thats the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

David Archuleta is brilliant as always though I don’t really dig Neil Diamond’s songs. Here’s his video and lyrics of Sweet Caroline and America:
Lyrics of Sweet Caroline:
Where it began
I can’t begin to knowin’
but then I know it’s growin’ strong.
Was in the spring (more…)
David Archuleta’s song for tonight’s American Idol is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Think of Me from the Phantom of Opera. Here goes the lyrics:
think of me
think of me fondly
when we’ve said goodbye
remember me every so often
promise me you’ll try
nn that day – that not so distant day
when you are far away and free
if you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me
Carly Smithson picked Jesus Christ Superstar as they sing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s song. Here’s the lyrics:
Every time I look at you
I don’t understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You’d have managed better
If you’d had it planned
Now why’d you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?

It is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s night on American Idol. Here’s the Music of the Night lyrics to be sung by David Cook:
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Lyrics of Without You sung by Carly Smithson of American Idol:
No I cant forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess thats just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I cant forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now its only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know
