WOW!  What a start to the REAL Season.  The season that starts when we get to vote! Most of the guys came out swingin' on SIXTIES NIGHT! David Hernandez sang "midnight Hour" and I thought he sounded good.  There was a bad note there at the end.  Not a terribly memorable performance though.  #2 was Chikezie Eze.  He sang "More Today Than Yesterday."  I'm still a fan.  But I actually loved him more yesterday than today.  #3 David Cook.  I was shocked when he got into the Top 12 guys. He sang "So Happy together."  I got into it a little, but he screamed a little and really got off by the end.  He was really working the eyes and the camera and for a second I was thinking he was channeling Constantine Maroulis!  #4 Jason Yeager sang" Moon River."  He came off a little cheesy but I think he was generally enjoying the moment.  A little to cabaret for me.  Hello!?!?!?!?!?!?! What about Paula crying about her recital talking about this guy?  Earth to Paula!!!!!!!! It's about the CONTESTANT!   #5 was Robbie Carrico.  He sang "One is the Lonliest Number."  He had a couple of pitchy moments, but I think he was great.  He rocked the song out and it was one of a few of the night that I could having a second life today on the radio.  The boards and the watercoolers are a bouzz with talk of NUMBER 6.  David Archuleta sang "Shop Around."  He was pretty darn good.  Not my cup of tea, but hey.  I can absolutely see the talent and see people voting for him.  He could go very far!  Top three maybe?  Just depends on how handles some other genres.  Danny Noriega came in singing "Jailhouse ROck."  Did not rock this jailhouse.  He had fun.  I didn't have much fun watching him.  #8 was Luke Menard the Luke Perry look-alike.  He sang a song that was so forgettable, that....   #9 was the VIRGINIA BOY COLTON BERRY.  He sang my favorite Elvis tune "Suspicious Minds."  He sounded pretty good but performances-wise... I thought he looked like he was performing in front of a mirror.  Garret Haley was #10.  We hadn't seen him before, but now we have.  He sang "Breaking up is Hard to Do."  He didn't feel the song, he just sang some words.  The voice wasn't horrible, the performance kind of was.   What performance was more than not horrible?  JASON CASTRO.  "What a day for a DayDream"  was the perfect song for him.  He was one of the only ones who really felt the lyrics in the song they were singing.  Loved it.  and Last but not least... Michael Johns sang "Light My Fire."   That was amazing!  A-MA-ZING!  WHoa.  Whew!In TROUBLE:  Luke Menard, Jason Yeager, Danny Noriega and Garret Haley.  Probably going home:  Jason and Danny.
See ya around the FOXbox!  K.C.
