1. David Archuleta: His "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera was haunting, indeed -- in a good way! Sweet vocals, great presence. He's the boy to beat.
2. David Cook: Wow, I didn't think he could do all that with a show tune! His "Music of the Night" was sweet, sensitive ... and swoon-worthy.
3. Syesha Mercado: Whoopeee! She had so much fun and showed so much flair on her sassy song -- finally! Girl was made for Broadway.
4. Carly Smithson: Although she brought back some much-needed soul to her performance, it got too damn screamy toward the end.
5. Jason Castro: "Memory" from Cats was as bad a fit for the dreadlocked local guy as his oversized khaki suit. Really, a suit?
6. Brooke White: Um, hello, showstopper!! She's not a belter, and "You Must Love Me" didn't suit her at all. Major points off for stopping the song and starting over again, too.
