Randy's Choice: If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys
Personal Choice: Fever by Peggy Lee
Producers Choice: Hit Me Up by Gia Farrell

not looking forward to 'fever' so much...

* Randy Jackson chose: "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys
* Syesha Chose: undetermined
* The producers chose: undetermined"

Translation: "What d'you mean 'there's a third contestant?'" -AI producers

And yet, I'm kinda hoping she pulls an upset, thus crushing the all-David-finale.

Archuleta has made me listen to pop music for the first time by breathing into it a honest, sensitive, humble soulfulness. He is a real artist, without pretension. So there goes your grandmas and tween girls Archie-fan stereotype! As Simon Cowell likes to say: "Sorry!"

Though said idea would have had to been conjured up by Papa Archuleta, and was more than likely nixed when they took away his right to sit in on rehearsals.

For a while now I have been wondering what American Idol would be like if it it had an Usher/Chris Brown like contestant complete with mid-song choreography, background dancers, the whole nine. Unfortunately, this smart little move by Mr. David Archuleta was NOT what I had in mind.

UGHHHHH. Maybe if I puke before the show even starts, I'll be saved.

Maybe I'll forego watching all together and stick with the liveblog: all the hilarity, no brain damage.
