was sung last night, I thought I'd better praise one of the other singers and complain about the producers.The producers clearly want David Cook to win. So they chose my most despised song of all time for him to sing ... a song that mainstream audiences seem to love.
He sang it better than Aerosmith, but it was still terrible. Thankfully I was washing dishes at the time and couldn't hear well. Then the producers chose a tired old Dan Fogelberg song for David Archuleta and a penguin movie song for Syesha. Is that fair? Sure, Syesha needs to finally leave; she's a singer/actress, not a recording artist. Her other two songs were not good, especially her overdone interpretation If I Ain't Got You.The absolutely amazing performance last night was David Archuleta on With You. Fantastic! This is a song that I've tried very hard to not like, because it's too similar to Beyonce's Irreplaceable and I don't care for Chris Brown's voice. But David brought something special to the song. Now I like the song and want to hear it on the radio. I thought it was perfect and one of the best performances this season. I also enjoyed his interpretation on And So It Goes (I don't like Billy Joel's original). Young David is a versatile singer and deserves to win.
