*better late than never, had to voice!*

~Mariah Carey night~

David Archuletta ~ "When You Believe" - I thought David looked the part tonite...gotta love those leather pants! :) He sounded clear and pure tonite, good performance.

Carly Smithson ~ "Without You" - LOVE.THIS.SONG. She looked fantastic tonite, loved that dress!! The beginning was a tad rough but I think she pulled it out and sounded great in the end. Great performance. VOTED.

Syesha Mercado ~ "Vanishing" - She too looked amazing tonite...who was doing the styling?! Never heard of this song before but she did a good job with it. I rather liked her little run there at the end!

Brooke White ~ "Hero" - Another lovely looking lady tonite! LOVE.THIS.SONG. I liked her perfomance, esp sitting at the piano though a bit rough in places for me. I was a bit worried for her tonite. VOTED.

Kristy Lee Cook ~ "Forever" - LOVE.THIS.SONG. Beautiful dress, she looked wonderful too. Her low parts were too low or something was off with it. But she sounded really great in the upper range, prob one of her best performances. It was an interesting 'countrified' version of the song. But AGAIN with the sleeveless????!!!

David Cook ~ "Always Be My Baby" - LOVE.LOVE.LOVE.THIS.SONG!! David was OFF.THE.HOOK.TONITE. Oh my!!! He rocked this song, it was awesome! Blew everyone else out of the water...and I thought his tears at the end were touching, really. VOTED.

Jason Castro ~ "Promises" - This had a smooth and easy feeling to it, pleasant. But it was just 'aight for me, sorry!

BEST of the Night:
(hands down)

I thought the bottom 3 would be Syesha, Brooke and Kristy...goodbye and goodluck, Kristy!
