I was SO surprised with Mariah Carey. She was incredibly composed, she knew exactly what she was talking about, and in my opinion she was the first mentor to ever really help the idols. She's a real singer and it's obvious she knows music. I bet the Idols wished they could have more time with her. I loved how she sang the actual notes (something Dolly could have never done) and helped the kids to imitate them. I think Mariah is finally finding herself and maturing into what she portrayed as a caring and knowledgable singer/songwriter. I loved the show, thought Jason Castro had the best performance, but really couldn't get over how quickly I became a Mariah Carey fan all over again.

i am getting so sick and tired of hearing how good david cook is. he had the most original composition but his vocals were so bad you couldn't hear a single word he said and he proved he's a chris daughtry wannabe in my opinion. david archuleta and syesha mercado in my opinion had the best night because they actually sang the songs and highlighted their vocal abilities. brooke though original had terrible vocals and hopefully either she or david cook will be sent home because they were bad. jason castro was pretty good as well but kristy lee cook and carly were bad as well. mariah was a good mentor and did help the contestants but they should have chosen better songs. all the females fell into the trap of trying to sing the hardest song vocally and they exposed their weaknesses. david cook though original showed how weak his vocals are and jason showed how good he was.overrall i was not impressed.

I totally agree with you. I am sick and tired of everyone saying how good David C. is. I also couldn't understand a word he was saying. No sympathy vote for me. He will do whatever it takes to get you to vote for him- stealing arrangements of songs, crying on stage etc. David A. is the best in the competition this year.

I like David C arrangement(either own or others)and some of his performances (Billie Jeans) but the truth is his vocal is pretty weak. If AI is pure singing competition, not popularity contest, no cuteness/leather pants/hand gesturing/crying on stage involved, David A will win hands down, purely on vocal. And I gotta tell you, David A has already got an enormous fan base OUTSIDE US, at least in Asia, and whether he finally wins or not just doesn't matter, his cds will the best selling among all the contestants this year.
a fan from Malaysia.

First of all, you're all boring for this Cook bull.

Secondly, Chris, you made a mistake. It wasn't Kristy who got the "hamburger without bun" comment, it was BROOKE. Wrong blonde, silly =P.

Kristy said "I gave Mariah goosebumps" and Simon said "well, you didn't give me any" or something. I laughed. I love it.

Well, Jason was amazing as was Cook--the two best. Syesha was stellar, but since Jason has the pimp spot and Simon loves him as much as I do, he'll avoid the B3 (pimp spots never land in the bottom 3, dude). 3 out of the 4 remaining girls will land in the B3, but it's hard to say who'll miss out. Ironically, it might be Kristy...I think she's going next week instead. But I hope she goes this week, as Syesha was stellar, Carly still needs to redeem herself, and I just love Brooke and this was tough for her. Oy!

I am so sick of the adulation towards the constant soft marshmallow sound of David Archangel. ENOUGH! Send him back to junior high school - Soon!

While the arrangement may haver been good, David Cook's performance made me searched frantically for my old Mariah Carey album to look for the lyrics in the cd insert. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND A WORD FROM HIM.

Truth be told, I prefered Jason Castro and David Archuleta. Jason has the clearest voice, and for someone with no vocal training or any solid experience, that's pretty impressive.

Cookie was good, but was completely overhyped. He is no Daughtry.
