What a great show last night! Who doesn’t love The Beatles? Thank you Sony and Michael Jackson for releasing the catalog for AI use this season. About last night - I pretty much agree with Jaynee on her assessment of AI’s performances.

I was working on jewelry last night so I didn’t actively watching until about 9:30pm. No one sounded terrible, but there were definitely performances that stood out. My favorites were:

Chikezie - amazing
Jason - he has a really nice voice that grows on me each week
Carly - she may be the strongest woman this season, but there is one close behind her
David Cook - I loved his version of Hello last week. I loved his version of. He’s very talented.
Brooke - she is still my favorite of the women. I love her style.
Amanda - she is unique, isn’t she?
Michael - still love him. I think it’s as much because he’s older and seems more mature as much as I like his voice.
David Archuletta - aw, David. I’ve been there - it’s awful to stumble on the words from the git-go. But you’re safe, don’t worry.

Other thoughts:
Kristy Lee Cook does this weird thing with her eyes when she’s trying to be intense. It’s more scary.
David H won’t last long mostly because of his stripping background, I think.
Syesha and Ramiele are forgettable.

That said, I think this is the strongest top 12 in a long time.
