Tonight the Top 6 competed singing the songs of legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber. Now I will admit, I am not much of a Broadway connoisseur, but I was always a fan of Phantom of the Opera. I think Michael Crawford is wonderful. So I cheated & checked out TMZ.com before the performances and found out my man David was going to sing one of my favorite songs in the world & David A was singing another from Phantom. It was definetely an interesting evening. I think that ALW was a very interesting guest mentor and I think he brought alot to the Top 6.With that being said, I will give you my weekly opinion.
My top 3 performances:
1) David Cook (no surprise there) - "Music Of The Night" - One of my favorite songs in the world. I was SO EXCITED when I found out he was doing it, I can't even tell you. I never thought in my life I would love someone other than Michael Crawford singing this. I used to go around in high school singing this song with friends in the hallway. So this is really a special song to me. I watched ice skaters skate in competition in the Olympics & World Figure Skating Nationals to this song. This song is very deep & has such special meaning. Recently, Paul Potts did a remake of it, so I am definetely open to hearing other people sing it. Including tonight. I L-O-V-E-D the way David did it. I know I'm completely biased because it is David, but if you knew how truly I loved this song, you would know how honest I am in saying - I just loved it.
2) Carly Smithson - "Jesus Christ Superstar" - Now there is the fun Carly, the happy Carly that was hiding being the "angry" performances. She did a wonderful job. I thought it was fantastic. How cute was Andrew with her? That was funny with the t-shirt at the end.
3) Syesha Mercado - "One Rock & Roll Too Many" - She did a fantastic job with this. This is her genre. You could just tell that she absolutely loved performing that song. She was very natural. Great performance.
My Just alright performances:
David Archuleta - "Think of Me" - Not bad, not terrific. As us Italians say - "mensa-mense". He'll definetely go to the next round.
Brooke White - "You Must Love Me" - The start/stop/start threw me in the beginning, but it was OK. I think she was trying to sound too much like how Madonna did it. The only thing that drives me nuts is how she always looks like she is at the point of bursting out in tears. All the time. I know people are emotional, but it is before, during & after.
My least favorite performance:
Jason Castro - "Memory" - This is only because it was a very poor song choice.
Who I think might go will be the bottom 3 - This is a tough call because I know they have to pick the three with the least votes and I think the three will be Jason, Brooke & Carly. I'm only saying Carly because I think that David A's fan base is so large that he will pass for another round and I really don't think he will make the bottom 3. He is too popular. I may be wrong. Plus I think that Syesha's performance being so good that it will keep her safe as well. It is a tough call.
Who I think will go home - I am torn between Brooke & Jason

Thanks so much for your sweet, supportive comment!
I have to agree with you about Carly and Syesha. I didn't know the song David C sang...I am embarrassed to admit I've never seen Phantom of the Opera. I know!
And I also think you're right about the best chances for elimination this week.
How's that iPod treating you?
Our rankings are different but I think we say just about the same thing this week!
My money's on Brooke, lol again!
