America learned why David Archuletta prefers to remain still when he sings. He forgot the words to his song more than once during his performance. He showed his immaturity when he tried the always difficult "sing and walk down three stairs" maneuver.
My boy Judge Dread, Jason Castro, also showed a side of himself that I didn't really want to see. During the video interview played before he sang "If I Fell" (brilliantly as usual for that dude), he appeared to be surrounded by flies or gnats. It may be time to mix in some shampoo into the daily routine. Dread's voice is by far my favorite in this competition. I hope he wins this thing.
Heather's Idol crush, David Cook, had another solid week. His first two verses were only average, but he absolutely killed on the chorus of "Eleanor Rigby". I don't think he can win, but the wife sure does.
Big props this week to Paula Abdul for either taking the right combination of pills or avoiding medication altogether. Not sure which one. But, she was mostly coherent and didn't appear to be hallucinating at any point in the show. She also abstained from the usual blithering over the various colors, smells, textures and other things that music conjures up for her.
Amanda Overmyer's ongoing tribute to Pepe Le'Pew continued for another week. At some point, she's going to have to stop dressing like Beetlejuice, right? Which reminds, this year's crop of contestants has easily the highest % of celebrity look-a-likes of any year. Here are some of the highlights:
Amanda Overmyer and Beetlejuice
David Archuletta and Bindi Irwin
Michael Johns and Timothy Daly from Wings
Jason Castro and Elizabeth Mitchell from L O S T
Chikezie and Isaac Washington from The Love Boat
