American Idol - The Top 10

Because I am busy today, this post shall have one line - and only one line - about each contestant's performance.

Ramiele: "Alone" by Heart

Will she be "alone" on the stage come Wednesday night?

Jason Castro: "Fragile" by Sting

Jason managed to choose one of the few songs from his birth year that was guaranteed to lose him votes - all because laid back cool Sting is cool on Sting, but makes all other performers of his numbers (that are not Eva Cassidy) look dull as dishwater in comparison.

Syesha: Some song by Stephanie Mills

Syesha fills some random quotient for a belter on American Idol without actually displaying much actual natural musical talent.

Chikezie A song by Luther! Vandross

Chikezie is the one guy that proves that you can in fact sing a song really well and the judges won't like it, no matter that women all over the country swooned and went searching for their Luther Vandross CDs.

Brooke White: "Every Breath You Take" by The Police

Pretty little songstresses with lilting voices should never sing a song about stalking, especially when a creepy, googley eyed, bald guy has already done it proper justice.

Michael Johns: "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" by Queen

In a vain attempt to recapture glory that we never saw, he goes back to the tried and true - Queen - and delivers a number only slightly less calculated than Kristy Lee Cook's patriotic swan song.

Carly Smithson: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler

My theory on Carly: Randy and Simon have decided exactly what type of music she should sing and no amount of success on her part at 80s rock will convince them otherwise.

David Archuleta: Something wretched that David Foster wrote and forgot

That wasn't "Disney theme park"; that was "American Idol finale-we just crowned the winner!"

Kristy Lee Cook: "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood

Pandering to middle America, much?

David Cook: "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson

Whatever my personal likes or dislikes of David Cook, he is by far the smartest of all the contestants on American Idol this season - and the one with the ugliest baby pictures.
