Idol

In order of how the performances went (in my opinion).

1. Syesha Mercado
- “One Rock & Roll Too Many” from Starlight
Syesha stole the show. Most memorable.

2. David Cook - “Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera
It was a nice vocal from David. Showed what a mellow/slow song would be like on an album.

3. Carly Smithson - “Jesus Christ Superstar”
Thought it a bit screechy at times, but overall decent.

4. David Archuleta - “Think of Me” from Phantom of the Opera
Good vocals, boring performance. I can't even remember how his song goes today even though I remember all the others.

5. Jason Castro - “Memory” from Cats
I like Jason a lot. This just wasn't a standout performance of the song. Didn't Streisand sing it? Jason needed to power ballad it, not whisper sing it in his style.

6. Brooke White - “You Must Love Me” from the film adaption of Evita
Brooke looked awfully good. Unfortunately that was about it. She had trouble singing through the lower register at the beginning and the rest of the song came across as mostly meh with a few spots of emotion sprinkled in.

Based on performance, Brooke should go.
