She does. Brooke White needs all the armor she can get to cling to any hope of surviving this week on American Idol.
She and Carly both sucked on Tuesday night. Syesha was just OK. She didn’t thrill me very much. However, among the women, the biggest surprise was Kristy Lee Cook, who—no matter what Simon sez—nailed her song. (I’d like to nail her.)
Carly covered her tattoo, which was a good thing. At one point, the camera provided us with a shot of her husband, who looked either like he had been in a vehicle-pedestrian collision with a paint truck or took a wrong turn and rode his bike through a paint ball battlefield. So we had ample advertising for the family tattoo parlor. But the singing sucked the big one.
Among the guys, David Cook’s original arrangement was a standout, but David Archuleta delivered hands-down the best performance of the evening. This competition is his to lose, and it ain’t likely that he will.
I think Brooke should go, but my predictions have been way off this season. So, I’m going to say that Carly will be the one shedding the tears tonight. Tune in at 9ET/8CT and see for yourself!

April 16, 2008 at 9:52 pmNext week will be Andrew Lloyd Webber week. So we’re in for some insipid, overplayed songs.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:53 pmCan’t stand ALW crap.
Let’s get ready for:
Midnight….from Cats
I Don’t Know How to Love Him from JCSS
Don’t Cry for Me Argentina from Evita.
Ick.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:54 pmHere we go–
Okay. Syesha is safe.
Good night Brooke.
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:54 pmAnd…that one from Phantom of the Opera…Music of the Night.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:55 pmWill Simon call it correctly?
No way–not Kristy.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:55 pmUnbelievable.
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:55 pmSheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:55 pmAnd she won’t get her horse back.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:56 pmThat is such b–t.
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:56 pmI will miss her.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:56 pmPoor kid could use some grammar lessons.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:57 pmI will, too. She was getting better and better. No surprises from here out now.
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:57 pmShe has been improving week to week and I think she did her best yet last night.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:57 pmDumb-ass voters. Keeping Brooke instead? What a joke.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:58 pmSame voters who probably think Sheryl Crow is a quality performer.
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:58 pmI’m bummed, but I’ll get over it. She’s going to sing directly to the “butt.”
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 9:58 pmLance Armstrong would agree with you.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 9:59 pmI’m beginning to think they choose the performer who sang the most fitting “farewell” song the previous night.
Now this does suck.
The Redhead says
April 16, 2008 at 10:00 pmWell, Turkey–another week of tough show biz lessons.
See you same place next Tuesday!
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 10:00 pmNow it does. But we’ll see some real FLUFF next week!
The Nittany Turkey says
April 16, 2008 at 10:00 pmYou got it! Goodnight, Red!
