Here are the results (in my opinion) of the top 10 Guys in week 2 of the live performances, after the jump:
| Best Vocal |
|
Once again, David shows that he has the best chops with John Lennon’s “Imagine”. He did a bunch of melisma with it, but it worked and he made it his and the crowd went nuts. The judges agreed that it was the best. |
|
| Best Song Choice |
|
“Killer Queen” a difficult song that he pulled off quite well, technically, but didn’t have a Freddie Mercury’s pinky-worth of charisma, except for the whole “Dawson’s Creek” thing. | |
| Chick Magnet |
|
The chicks were screaming fo this guy tonight. |
|
| Full Package |
|
Played guitar again, and I thought it was great. Judges weren’t digging it and told him to go solo next week. |
|
| Flat Out Worst |
|
“I, like, used to play in a rock band in 9th graaaaayde, yah”. And in response to whether he agreed with Simon’s critique of his performance last week: “uh, -ish. -ish.” |
|
| Honorable Mention |
|
Great song choice on the Doobie Brothers cover. His voice sounded just like homeboy from the Doobie Bros. The judges hated it. |
|
| Most Interesting Offstage |
|
Watching the interview outakes and how Jason is so uncomfortable doing interviews |
|
| Most likely to cry after getting kicked in the nuts verbally by Simon |
|
“Why do I have to prove myself?” |
I think David Archuleta is going to win… or else get a really great record deal. Or lots of pinches on the cheek by screaming fans! Or something! He’s just a cute person on the inside and out… I liked Paula’s comment that she wanted to hang him from her rear view mirror… but he’s so vulnerable!! And I worry about him getting ruined by the business. Whatever happens, I hope he stays true. I’ll be very sad if he goes all Lindsay Lohan.
