Latest Update: ‘American Idol’ Top 10 headed toward the finale
Top 10 take the stage
The theme tonight is songs from “The year they were born.”
Ramiele Malubay
Tonight’s song - Heart’s Alone
My Take - It’s good to know she was sick - she was all over the place
Randy - It’s a little too big of a song choice for you - it was a little pitchy.
Paula - I give you a tremendous amount of credit - you are really sick.
Simon - I don’t think it was as bad as Randy said.
Jason Castro
Tonight’s song - Fragile
My Take - Tonight’s performance may have been one of his best
Randy - I thought it was alright - I’m still waiting to see that jump out vocal performance
Paula - I agree -we didn’t see anything to make us say wow
Simon - I think you had two bad weeks. It was too laid back
Syesha Mercado<
Tonight’s song - ‘If I were your woman’
My Take - Just like Jason - this was one of her best performances so far.
Randy - This is a good moment for you - this is the best I think I’ve every heard you sing
Paula - This is the moment that everyone will remember
Simon - It was the best so far - I don’t think the end part of your song was as strong as Randy thought
Chikezie
Tonight’s song - ‘If only for one night’
My Take - This guy can belt out a ballad. I’m guessing he’s in the top 5 overall
Randy - This went back to an old school -
Paula - I disagree Randy - it’s a good throw back. You did a great job
Simon - I think you sang it well - the performance was cheesy
Brooke White
Tonight’s song - ‘Every breath you take’
My Take - Not a performance that made me think she’d be the next American Idol.
Randy - It was just okay for me
Paula - I enjoyed this performance so much more than last week
Simon - If you’d just stayed with you on the piano - definitely good enough to keep you around for another week.
Michael Johns
Tonight’s song - Queen
My Take - Pretty strong performance through and through
Randy -Finally you believe in yourself - that was the best performance for me

Randy - I didn’t love it - it was just okay for me
Paula - I love what you did at the end
Simon - Something didn’t quite work - you were so tense and uptight - something didn’t quite work
David Archuleta
Tonight’s song - ‘You’re the Voice’
My Take - Where did that song come from? I don’t remember that one at all. part of it work and the rest was a little too safe for me.
Randy - It was a strange song choice - you can sing whatever
Paula - You could sing the phone book and we would love it
Simon - I dindn’t like the performance at all - reminiscent of a theme park performance

Randy - Great song choice - very nice performance
Paula - Very good choice for you
Simon - Your best peformance by a mile
David Cook
Tonight’s song - ‘BIlly Jean’
My Take - Who knew you could slow that song down that much? Yet - somehow it worked - I’m shocked - that may have been the best performance of the night
Randy - I got to say - the most original most bold - you might be the one to win the whole lot - HOT
Paula - I got to tell you - how bold you are - I think you are brilliant
Simon - That was brave - It was amazing
