As I see it there are clear front runners in this season. I've only watched this season and last - but am enjoying this season a lot better.
Mostly I was excited for this week. Andrew Lloyd Weber was the guest mentor so they all had to sing his songs. Although I have to say...he is kind of creepy looking. I'm curious to know what his face looks like in person.
Last year, Krissie and I got into Grease: You're the One That I Want and watched the whole thing. Then, when we got to England they had shows on there: Grease is the Word and Any Dream Will Do. They were talent searches for the new leads in Grease and Joseph opening in the West End.
We totally got into the last few episodes there and would stay home to watch it with Louise. Weber played a big part in the Joseph show and may have judged a night on Grease. I remember one of the girls singing Jesus Christ Superstar and it was amazing.So tonight, when Carly got up there and sang that it just did nothing for me at all. I don't really like her in the first place so maybe I'm biased. Also, her husband's facial tattoos are yucky and she wears nothing but black leggings/stockings/skinny jeans. ugh.
Syesha did very well, but she is also an actress so that was no surprise. I say if a girl makes it to top 3 it will be her.
Brooke was alright. That whole stopping and starting over thing was weird, but it would have been weirder for her to keep going and making up stuff, right? I think she may go home this week. Not to mention, I think people might be getting tired of her over-emotional state...and by people I mean me.
Jason picked a weird song but did alright with it. I think he'll be bottom three this week. It was a girl song (Memory) - an old lady song even...from Cats. But honestly I don't know what he would have done better with. He's not suited for Broadway. That might hurt him.
Speaking of girl songs. David Archuleta sang Think of Me - only he kind of changed it up. I liked it. His vocals are always spot on - though he needs more of a presence/personality. I think that's more of an age and experience thing.
Finally, David Cook. He's totally grown on me. He sang Music of the Night. And although it wasn't really any different composition-wise, I think he sang beautifully. He's definitely better with the gritty, rock stuff, but still did a great job with this. And his look isn't bothering me so much any more.

So, bottom three I'm gonna say Brooke, Jason and Carly. Although Syesha could be in trouble since she performed first. Sometimes people get distracted throughout the whole show and forget to vote for the first performer.

The girl who sang Jesus Christ, Superstar on "You're the One that I Want" was the girl who won. I also really liked it when she sang it. It seemed slower when Grease girl sang it. And so much better. Carly = poo.
We have the same bottom three prediction. We're psychic friends.
I was a little disappointed with the theme choice this week. I like ALW's stuff (some of it...), but it seemed kind of blah. Why not do a more blanket theme of musical theater? Why narrow it down to one composer, and even then, just to one or two major shows?
