American Idol - 10 Guys

   It's 70's week, a rather dismal decade musically I think.
   There were two top acts - David Hernandez singing an authentic "Papa
   Was a Rolling Stone" and David Archuleta singing a creative version of
   "Imagine" to close the night.
   Luke Menard and Chikezie who should have left last week did much
   better this week. Luke hit some difficult notes and sequences on key
   and Chikezie found a perfect song to show off his R&B skills.
   There was one clear loser - Danny Noriega who missed almost every note
   on the way to ruinging a Carpenters song, not easily done. But two
   will go home, and the other should either be Jason Yeager or David
   Cook, both of whom did bar band songs. I had hoped for better from
   Yeager.
   The rest get a C but should be safe. Michael Johns didn't light my
   fire, sounded like he was trembling. Jason Castro was annoying dull.
   Robbie Carrico was more like "warm blooded" but otherwise stayed on
   key.
   So, put me down for Noriega and ... hmmm ... Yeager going home on
   Thursday.
