American Idol: Eliminated Tonight and Other News
The show tonight opened up with a tribute to John, Paul and the music of the Beatles with a medley by all the contestants. Ryan also announced that due to so many calls and emails, next week will be ANOTHER Lennon/McCartney show.
I have to say I’m having enough trouble getting into American Idol this season as is, this announcement I wasn’t too keen on. I mean the song choices made so far for me have been blahze as is, even on nights I should have been excited about (70s/80s). I’m not a huge fan of the Beatles and I really don’t know many of the Lennon/McCartney songs. So now I have to sit through another week. I’m hoping someone will pick some songs I actually know this time. Hello can someone please rock out to Sgt Pepper for me? Please?
The bottom three were David Hernandez, Syesha Mercado and Kristy Lee Cook. Syesha was safe, leaving David and Kristy in the bottom two. David was eliminated this week.
BTW quick shot of Sanjaya sitting in the audience this week!
From the medly they all did, David Archuleta needs to do Can’t Buy Me Love.
While I’m not a huge Beatles fan, I think the actual “Song Book” per se actually has a lot more music in it than just songs they wrote. When they were showing actual sheets of music last night it seemed like there were songs that weren’t just Beatles there. Not good enough with their music to know for certain tho.
I’d be happy to take it straight down to 6 at this point myself and go from there. :-\

I agree David Hernandez didnt do so hot last week but i really wish he could have stayed at least one more week I really like his voice

I honestly think the stripper thing really hurt Hernandez. It was really hard to look at him the same afterwards. That compiled with his performance last week is what did him in, I think.
I too was not very excited they were doing another Lennon/McCartney night. I was excited for the first, but it was blah. And I feel bad for Archie, since he isn’t familiar with the songs. Hopefully the medley helped him learn some. I agree, he should do “Can’t Buy Me Love.”
I also would like either David Cook or Michael Johns to do “Hey Jude” I think either would be good at that.
Kristy just better not make another Beatles song into a country song, or she is in big trouble.

The sister is the one who should have made it through, not Sanjaya!

I think that is an alphabetical list of the whole songbook. We should get to vote on what they sing!
