This is easy:

1) David Cook – smart choice in deciding to show off how good his voice is

2) Carly – PERFECT song choice for her, great energy, and she can really sing

On the next level:

3) Syesha – OK, I’m in love again. Good enough (not great, not bad) vocal but best PERFORMANCE – after all, they were doing stage songs and she really brought her acting chops. Yeah, and she was hot . . . .

4) David A. – just OK, I didn’t think he connected with the song and I’m rather tired of hearing him do a ballad each week. He’s good, we get that but I‘d like to surprised in the way that David Cook can surprise us

On the bottom and one should go this week:

5) Brooke – I thought she connected with and really sold the song but just didn’t sing it that well

6) Jason

On the whole, I was more in line with Simon than any week I can remember this year.
