Replace Brooke with the sucktasticness of Michael and that's more accurate. I am predicting Michael gets his first scare...or hoping, I'm not sure.

I thought Kristy was the best, oddly, and Syesha was second best. Arch was great, but this wasn't his best (see Simon's comment about "nasally"). Then Jason was terrific (although I think he was more impressive last week w/ "Travelin' Thru") as well.

Brooke was good and Carly pretty solid, but neither were stellar--just average.

Michael had a nice end to his song, but he looked strained throughout and it was a stupid choice of song for him. Boring.

And oh dear God, I'm all for Cook winning...but he was THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST. He basically took one huge, steaming pile of awful and morphed it into an awkwardly arranged and staged song, with bizarrely deep vocals (and an incredibly useless chorus). Actually, he could land in the bottom as a shocker, but he'd definitely be safe I think.

So while the B3 -should- be Carly, Michael, and Cook, it won't be. I think Syesha will probably head home, though I wouldn't be too surprised if we were treated to a Carly kiss-off shocker. What do you think regarding that, Chris?

the final three...david a...david c...and maybe michael johns.
