Round 1:
David Archuleta - "And So It Goes" - Though sung ernestly, it was coma-inducing. Seriously, if you have problems sleeping, just spin this up on your ipod, and you'll be counting sheep in no time. Who'd want to hear that rendition on the radio?
Syesha Mercado - "If I Got You" - Too much background singers in the mix, we'd like to hear Syesha first and foremost. Randy gave her a softball for this choice. It was serviceable.
David Cook - "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" - Vocals sounded a little thin, but much more sincere than his competitors, and then he tossed in a bit of rock twang to put his own stamp on it.
Round 1 goes to Cook.
Round 2:
David Archuleta - "With You" - The cadence of the song made his vocals sound like he was out of breath in the early parts of the song, but it was a bit too wishy-washy or sing-songy sounding.
Syesha Mercado - "Fever" - Hated the key that Syesha sang this song, it's just too high, and sounded too shrill to me. But she's got a broadway career ahead of her if she wants it.
David Cook - "Dare You To Move" - Typical performance, start slow, and build to a crescendo, collect a bunch of votes.
Not sure anyone won this round.
Round 3:
David Archuleta - "Longer" - Archie caught Kristi's squenchy eye disorder for this song but he was on point for most of the performance, but I still wouldn't want to listen to it on the radio.
Syesha Mercado - "Hit Me Up" - While it's true she can sing, but she simply lacks the X factor to push her over the top. It was a forgettable performance, and she threw in too many runs.
David Cook - "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" - Sheesh, what a weak start, did Jason Castro sneak on stage? This rendition made me appreciate the Aerosmith version.
Another average round, no winnahs.
