AI - The Final Five/ Neil Diamond

The stage looks empty with just 5 contestants left.  Neil Diamond mentors tonight.  He's sold over 120 million records world wide.  He says.. bring those perky contestants in. 
 
They will each sing 2 songs. 
 
Jason Castro's choices are  Forever in Blue Jeans and September Morn.  I like the tone of his voice singing.. Forever in Blue Jeans.  It was the right choice for him.  Not bad.
 
David Cook - I'm Alive and All I Really Need is You - Another good song selection.  This one highlights David's style.  Nice going, David! 
 
Brooke White - I'm a Believer and I Am I Said.  Ok, this is a high energy song.. Let's see if she can pull it off.  Nah, she doesn't entertain me at all.  I don't like the pitch or her lack of stage presence.  Paula's dancing.. (cause she's bored)  Just glad it stopped suddenly.  I am not a believer, sorry.
 
David Archuleta - Sweet Caroline and America.  David's making it his own but I don't like it.  Doesn't do anything for me.  I hope his other one is better. 
 
Syesha Mercado - Hello Again and Thank the Lord for the Nighttime.  Great song choice, Syesha!  I like this better than David Archuleta's choice so far.  On pitch.. clear and crisp once again. 
 
Now, I will go back to the beginning and start again.   Randy said Round One.. Jason.. just ok, better than last week.. David Cook.. very good.. in the zone, very strong, doing your thing.  Brooke.. better than last week.. still a little karaoke.. Archuleta.. the bomb.. Syesha.. nice vocals.. strong.  Paula liked Jason's lower register.. OMG.. Paula thought he sang twice.. just say NO.  David Cook was fantastic.. she said.. Simon said.. you're all very lucky you've got 2 songs.. Jason forgettable.. David C.. just above avergage.. Brooke a nightmare, David A.. amateurish.. Syesha.. old fashioned.  (WOW.. that was rushed.)  He wants them to step it up next Round.. 
 
Jason Castro - September Morn - Maybe he's never heard this one.  He's a little pitchy in spots.  (making it his own?  nah.. pitchy)  Really BAD.  Randy said it was just ok.. Definitely not the best.  Paula said she thinks he took the same liberty with both songs.. Simon said we don't recognize you at the moment.  Both were forgettable. 
 
David Cook - All I Really Need is You - So far, I like David the best tonight.  I don't know this song as one of Neil Diamond's so it feels like a David Cook song.  It's good.  Randy said he's a huge David Cook fan because he rocked the house.  Blazing..  Paula said he's the only one who could pull it off.. Looks like she's looking at the next American Idol.  Simon thought the first one was ok, the second one was brilliant.  Well done. 
 
Brooke White - I Am I Said - She's trying to impersonate Dolly Parton, I think.  I still would like her to go home tomorrow.  Randy said very vulnerable.. showing all the flaws.. nice job.  Paula said it shows her vulnerability.  Simon said he REALLY REALLY hated the first song.  This is the Brooke we like.  It wasn't incredible, but it was a million times better than the first song. 
 
David Archuleta - America - This is weak and a little pitchy right there.. never known him to miss a note.. He's got a great voice but I wouldn't buy this song.  Randy said you are definitely in the zone.  Paula said this was the absolute perfect song for you.  I love you.. I love you, you're brilliant.  Simon said that was a smart choice of song.  Absolutely the right choice.  (I wasn't thrilled with him tonight) 
 
Syesha Mercado - Thank the Lord for the Nighttime - Great stage presence.  An entertainer.  She remembered the lyrics but forgot her shoes?  Nice.  Randy said she finally is realizing who you are.  In the zone.  He likes her in this.  Paula said she has a theatrical place and has a softness in her voice.  Simon said she is a very good actress/singer.  He thinks she may be in trouble tonight.  (I don't think so)  He didn't think she had a really memorable second song tonight. 
 
I agree with the judges.. it was a weird show tonight.  Awkward, at best.. rushed..
 
So, who's leaving us tomorrow night?  I still say Brooke or Jason.  I can hope. 
 
See you tomorrow night..

David A and Sayesha was my fav tonight. But David A. alway's look's so scared. lol.All were out of their element I thought. Making some of Diamond's song their own you just can't do. Just not right.I don't like remake's lol.Brooke or Jason I hope.I voted for David A. and Sayesha about 5 time's each. Got tired of hitting redial.

I too hope it's Jason or Brooke. They both bore me to tears. David Cook is awesome. He gives me chills when he sings!

I agree...Paula just say NO!

Sorry guys....I like Jason Castro...I know his songs are sad and sorry but he is just so darn cute! (no I didnt vote for him)

I think the two David's will be the last two standing contestants.

I totally agreeded wiht Simon when he said that they needed to sing like they want to win this contest!

I didnt vote, as usual... But still want Brooke to go HOME!!
I think David A singing Sweet Caroline was Horrible.
Someone should have picked up Paula's cup lastnight and smelled it. lol

hmmm...Cook was awesome. Paula was um, Paula.
Jason Castro still reminds me of a young John Travolta (he's sooooo cute!).
Brooke needs to be sent packin.
Arhuletta is a yawn fest.
Syesha is well suited to broadway.

I think Cook's voice was the best suited for Neil Diamond songs, and he ROCKED!

stlgirl.. yea.. Brooke did go home.. I'm laughing.. I was thinking the same thing about Paula's drink!

jay.. Syesha will have a Broadway career. She's just right for it.

I don't like driving and I'm always asking my hubby to chauffeur me around ...he calls me Miss Daisy. Daisies are my favorite flowers, too.
