It's American Idol

Meanwhile Michael Johns, who opened the night with "Dream On" by Aerosmith. The song was right in his musical genre but nobody other than Paula thought he got it.

Simon cast doubts on his rocker credential when he said "I thought it was a very good performance - (but) I don’t like it when you do an impression of a rock star. I thought it was a little wannabe-ish," ouch...

Brooke White predictable Brooke, always perfectly nice and pleasant, but never truly memorable and this week she slipped further down the memorable scale, so the bottom three may once again be beckoning. Seeing the teary-eyed Brooke perform Carole King’s "You’ve Got a Friend," probably meant the judges went easy on her

Syesha Mercado sang "I Believe" by Fantasia with the judges drawing comparisons to the "Idol" winner, it was inevitable she would recieve negative comments.

Carly Smithson improved this week, but only in her dress sense, she headed Simons advice but in choosing a Queen song, she didn’t match Freddie Mercury’s vocals on "The Show Must Go On," and it didn’t help that her performance depreciated as she went on.

This drew Simon to say "I thought you oversang it to the point where you lost control of it at the end," adding "It came across as an angry performance, and you actually might be in a bit of trouble." Even 'feelgood' Paula said she didn’t feel engaged... Smithson’s in big trouble as she sweats out the counting of the votes.

Bottom three prediction of Smithson, Mercado, White.
