Five Idol-wannabes remain and they’ll be doing the songbook of Neil Diamond tonight. I don’t have anything extremely brilliant to say—American Idol does not lend itself to brilliance of any sort—so what I’ll do is pick songs for the contestants. Here we go.
David Archuleta: “September Morn” or “Until It’s Time for You to Go”
Jason Castro: “Song Sung Blue” or “Cracklin’ Rosie”
David Cook: “Brother Love’s Travelin’ Salvation Show” or “I Am…I Said”
Syesha Mercado: “Love on the Rocks” or “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”
Brooke White: “Heartlight” or “Play Me”
I’ve increased my odds by waffling and choosing two per contestant. I ought to get one or two right that way.
I think they’ll save “Sweet Caroline” for the group number on Wednesday. “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” would be a good one for David Cook, but I don’t know if they’d use it because the Hollies recorded it first.
Tune in at 8:00 PM on Fox to see just how bad a song picker this Turkey really is!

Geez. Paula’s criticism is so pathetic.
I’m not on the page with Simon on this one.
Okay. It’s almost snack time.
He should of sang Comeen too Mexico, man.
Yeah, let’s get done with Syesha so I can do some work.
It’s the Aussie Victoria’s Secret model.
I saw a news story today that Ryan’s days might be numbered on AI.
Not bad.
This will work if she doesn’t Whitneyfy it.
You can tell she’s out of her Whitneysh element.
Okay, she’s doing better now.
This is probably the best of the night for me.
Sexy!
I do think Syesha has a nice sweetness to her voice when she wants to use it.
SHUT UP PAULA!
Way to end it Simon.
Your verdict on her performance, Turkey?
I liked it. However, Simon is right. She’ll be in trouble this week because she was in trouble last week.
Okay, I see your comment on it now.
I liked it, too.
I think Jason should go home.
I think Brooke will make it another week.
I’m a believer that Brooke has a following.
Jason should go, but Syesha probably will.
But I’m thinking that the producers might think I Am I Said would be a dramatic farewell song for Brooke.
You are probably right. Simon might have jinxed her by closing the show with that particular comment.
Yeah, the best of the night is between Cook and Syesha. But that ain’t the way the voting will necessarily go.
I don’t have to work tomorrow night so I’ll be here on time.
Ahh…Natasha Bedingfield tomorrow night.
I’m betting little boring David is going to win this whole thing.
Who is Natasha?
Well, I’m outta here…seeya tomorrow for the big surprise vote-out!
Natasha? She’s the English blonde who sang “Unwritten.”
Ta Ta, Turkey!
You know the one about the dirty window and the rest is still unspoken?
Nighty-night!
Or UNWRITTEN, I mean.
