1. David Archuleta: Brilliant move, starting "And So It Goes" in a capella mode. Only singers as gifted as Archie can pull that off. But "With You" was a little too careless and contemporary for his voice. As for Dan Fogelberg's "Longer"? The perfect mix of classic melody and ooey-gooey cheesiness.
2. David Cook: "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" -- Great song choice from Simon plus great delivery from Cookie equalled, uh, greatness? As for his Switchfoot cover, meh, he could do better. Same goes for "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing." Kind of a mess. Tsk tsk.
3. Syesha Mercado: "If I Ain't Got You" was pretty much Alicia Keys light, and that ain't good. Her "Fever" was sexy, though, and matched her sizzlin', sparkly outfit. But the producers really screwed her by choosing that 'Happy Feet' fluff for her last song. They obviously want her out.
Who's going home? I'll say Syesha, but the nation should go ahead and prepare itself for some sort of shocker, just in case.
