Idol: Highs and Lows

At the end of every performance show, I like to tally up who did the best, the so-so and the worst. (I don't just do this for my own entertainment; it helps me figure out what to say in my recap story.) :)
Here's how I think they did with tonight's extremely challenging theme:
BEST:
Syesha (It was so entertaining, in fact, that it reminded me a bit of Kelly Clarkson's much-beloved rendition of "Stuff Like That There.")
The two Davids

SO-SO:
Carly (I kind of think the song got away from her during the chorus)
Jason

WORST (I'm intentionally putting just one person in this category tonight):
Brooke. "You must love me," she sang with earnestness. Well, I don't. Am officially over her.

I agree with you on your evaluation especially Brooke. Didn't she need a re-start earlier in the season? At the time the judges said it was OK? When I pay to see performers perform, I don't want to see re-starts.

I agree about Brooke but Jason bit the big one tonight. HOW in today's society and claim to be an musican that you NEVER hear MEMORIES - how do you not know it was sung by a cat. How do you NOT know who Andrew Lloyd Webber is... Jason - get your act together or you and your dreads will be stuck in Rockwall!

Jane, he's only 20. He admitted he's never seen a musical. To be honest, I'm in my 50's, have never been to a musical, don't care for Broadway-type music, so I'm not sure I would have known any of those songs, or at least which musical they come from or who wrote them. At some stage of the competition, most of the contestants are going to have a bad night because they are totally out of the element with the song types. This was Jason's. Apparently the voters recognized this because he wasn't in the bottom two. At least he didn't have to start over.
