Just as I suspected, a Broadway night had the potential to be a good night... or a nightmare for others as Brooke may attest. What a bad break for Brooke, to lose it right at the beginning was a blessing, it would have been worse to loose it in the middle once you past the point of no return. Will America be as forgiving with Brooke as with David A. I don't think so. And yet to me Jason was totally awful (she may still get lucky). With such a huge Andrew Lloyd Webber library, David A, and Jason had to go and pick songs written for a female performer. "Memory" from "Cats" is a very pretty song but not for a guy, I know many of you may fight me on this but that's just me. So, there's no two ways about it, the fight for advancing to next week is Brooke vs. Jason.
David A. did good as usual but nothing out of the ordinary, I knew he would just breeze through next week. I have seen the movie "Jesus Christ Superstar" many times and in my mind I kept seeing "Judas" sing the song, is Carly the female Judas? (((lol))) I agree with whoever said she screamed a big part of the song. What is it about Carly that annoys me so much? I just can't get past a tattooed girl act like Paris Bennet, her innocent sounding "Thank You's" sound totally fake to me.
So that leaves my two favorite performances of the night. Syesha just blew me away with her interpretation of "One Rock & Roll Too Many" from Starlight Express. Not only she sang good but she looked the part too. My respect to the judges because they always try to steer us away from voting from her but last night there was nothing bad they could say about her. She was that good and I for one am happy she will at least be a top five, I think when all is said and done, she deserves to be #3.
David Cook sang one of my favorite songs from Phantom of the Opera "Music of the Night" and considering the song is very slow and could be considered boring for the competition, he sang the heck out of it and did enough to be my second favorite performer of the night. I must agree with America and accept that "homey" can sing.
