Even though I almost always agree with Simon, I disagree a bit with his evaluation of David Cook. I thought he did a good job with Day Tripper. I can see how he had a problem with his facial expression, though I didn’t read “smug” into it.
Unlike Simon, I also enjoyed Carly Smithson’s version of Blackbird…another one of my favorites from The Beatles. I think I liked it though just because someone picked it to sing.
Total agree with Randy on Jason’s version of Michelle. Didn’t quite get it. And Chikezie, started out very Boyz II Men then morphed into weird honky tonk country. Never been a fan of Ramiele…still not.
I loved Syesha Mercado’s version of Yesterday. I really liked it and think it could sell as a single.
I did agree with Simon that Idol should have skipped a second week of Beatles. They should have quit while they were ahead.
