American Idol - Week 2 - Guys’ Night Recap
Ryan Seacrest asked the judges for their advice before tonight’s (FEB 26) show gets underway. Randy tells the contestants to be, “in it to win it.” Paula says, “it will be better this week.” Last, but not least, Simon says, “be better.’
The song genre for this week is the 1970s. We’ll see what the producers choose for the contestants to sing. Hopefully they’ll choose a little better than last week.
Michael Johns
My Take - Seemed pretty uncomfortable tonight - and out of key
Randy - I liked it.
Paula - Great way to start the show
Simon - It’s was okay… it was coasting along or something like that.
Jason Castro
My Take - Like this version of his song.. strong opening a little weaker near the end.
Randy - “Sounded a little karaoke.”
Paula - “next week, let’s see you without the gutair.”
Simon - “I thought the sonf was horrible… it didn’t go together this week. You choose a schmultzy type of song.”
Luke Menard
My Take - I didn’t care for the ending… it seemed to weaken the song.
Randy - You chose a very, very tough song. That was pretty good.
Paula - It was great for you vocally.
Simon - That performance was a mistake. It verged on whiney.
Robbie Carrico
My Take - What is up with his hair - he should talk with Garrett Haley. Seems like the producers picked a song that worked for him.
Randy - I kinda agree with Simon… I don’t know if you have the rock voice.
Paula - You played it a little bit safe.
Simon - The vocal was okay tonight.
Danny Noriega
My Take - Not a good song for him… but did an okay job.
Randy - You’ve got a good voice - let it go.
Paula - You can’t over think the song.
Simon - This was better - wasn’t a fantastic vocal. You stand out in a crowd.
David Hernandez
My Take - WOW - that was the best of the night.
Randy - Check this out! - This is the David Hernandez we fell in love with. That was hot right there.
Paula - Your voice is so pure. Your personality really came out this week.
Simon - In my opinion, that was the best vocal of the night so far. You’ve risen to the challenge.
Jason Yeager
My Take - When he first started … I didn’t think I would like it… but I did!
Randy - That wasn’t a singer’s kinda song.
Paula - The song didn’t have a lot of notes.
Simon - This week was awkward and ordinary… It was like you were drunk at a party.
Chikezie
My Take - This song was fun… not the best… but he had fun.
Randy - Chikezie is back America. This is the guy we fell in love with.
Paula - Very clever… it was fun.
Simon - You look better, you sounded better - a million times better than last time.
David Cook
My Take - Second best of the night.
Randy - I love the throwing the picks into the crowd. Cool for you.
Paula - You are the real deal. Smart, fun, relevant.
Simon - It was solid. You don’t have a lot of charisma.
David Archuleta
My Take - Once again… WOW - he clearly knocked this one out of the park!
Randy - Dawg - that was one of the best vocals I’ve ever heard on this show.
Paula - I want to dangle you from my rear-view mirror… One of the most moving performances I’ve ever heard. You’re destined for stardom.
Simon - It worked. You are the one to beat!
The guyz show ended on a really high note. Thoughts anyone?

I like many others already love David Archuleta over all the rest of the singers. He sells the song, makes it own by adding some extra flourishes. He is the singer I have been waiting for ever since Clay Aiken was on the show. He is refreshing and wonderful.

I can’t tell the guys from the girls, except the girls sing better. What a weak feminine bunch of guys.

To Laura: Yes. David Archuleta is by far the best one up there. And when you factor in his age, he’s even more impressive. I think he’s gonna walk away the next American Idol at the end… Actually the three Davids are my faves. David Archuleta, David Hernandez and David Cook. In that order.

Am I the only person that just can’t bring themselves to like David Archuleta? It seems like the producers are force-feeding him down our throats. He’s good, no question, but I just can’t bring myself to call him my favorite. Loved Danny Hernandez, though!

So far it seems to me that only 3 or 4 guys very good — for all the talk that this is the most talented 24 they’ve ever had on the show.
