7:04 p.m. Yay! Cookie (our new name for David Cook) is singing Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf”! We prefer
Hole’s cover. He’s turned this into an amusement park song. And his voice sounds like absolute shit!
7:06 p.m. Randy: “It was an OK choice and a solid performance — that was just OK for you.” Paula: “I think ‘Hungry Like the Wolf’ has left me with a big appetite.” Simon: “I thought it was good, but it was a little bit copycat. Is it good enough for the moment to get through to next week? Yes.”
7:13 p.m. “Rolling on the River” by Tina Turner turns out to be Syesha Mercado’s first song choice. Her diva-ness is center stage, and her wild silver-studded outfit looks damn fine. Great song choice and wardrobe selection!
7:15 p.m. Randy: “This is the third week in the row that Syesha has show up in the zone!” Paula: “Not only have you shown up, you look like a star!” Simon: “Syesha, I’m sorry to put a slight damper on things. For me, I thought it was just a bad, shriek-y version —
a bad impersonation of Tina Turner.”
7:22 p.m. Space cadet Jason Castro sings
Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with a pitch-perfect voice and just not enough funk to completely convince us he even knows Bob Marley.
7:24 p.m. Randy: “For me, that was a really karaoke; dude, it was just OK. That just wasn’t good for me.” Paula: “I’ve never seen you perform more to the audience. I wasn’t crazy about the song.” Simon: “Jason, stand back!
That was utterly atrocious. Sorry! That is a song you do not touch. The arrangement was atrocious;
this was honestly like a first round audition massacre. I don’t know what you are thinking?”
7:25 p.m. Jason’s rebuttal: “I was thinking Bob Marely!!” Oh. Dear.
7:26 p.m. “The only similarity is the hair!” Simon roars.
“My advice: Don’t do Bob Marely.”
7:28 p.m. David Archuleta knows his audience when he sings the heartthrob-maker “Stand By Me” …. and oh god, we even started to
swooooon! Oh, David A. Please don’t be gay!
7:29 p.m. Randy: “He brought the hot man vocals! Dude, it was hot.” Paula: “You really delivered on this. Your seasoned already.” Simon: “The truth is, David,
you could have whistled and been better than the last song. I thought you struggled a little bit at the end. In the grand scheme of things, I’m going to call that the best performance so far.”
7:31 p.m. “Their faces scare me!” David A. says breathlessly. He’s talking about the judges, people. Not the legions of 11 to 15 year olds hanging on his every note.
