"Idol," Week 3: The Guys

Week one featured music from the 1960s and last week it was the 1970s, so...shocker!...this week it's the 80s! Here we go...

Luke Menard
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"
Are you kidding me? That su-HUCKED!!

David Archuleta
"Another Day In Paradise"
Another knock-out performance from the kid from Utah! This was a very nice intereptation of a classic Phil Collins chart-topper. Not as stupendous as last week's performance, but I loved it none the less.

Danny Noriega
"Tainted Love"
Yet again, he hacked a classic song to pieces. This was pure shit.

David Hernandez
"It's All Coming Back To Me Now"
He has a superb voice and this song showcased it in spades!

Michael Johns
"Don't You (Forget About Me)"
Wow...for the second week in a row this guy, who I thought was one of the better singers during the early Hollywood rounds, disappointed a bit. Has he shot his wad already? I'm beginning to think perhaps he has.

David Cook
"Hello"
His guitar playing in the intro was horrid. That said, he picked it up later and I actually liked his "Lionel Ritchie gone grunge" take on this track. Not bad at all.

Jason Castro
"Hallelujah"
Pretty good job tonight on this endearing classic from the late Jeff Buckley. He did enough to keep himself safe for next week.

Chikezie
"All The Woman I Need"
Average. Lame. Just ok. As Simon called it..."cabaret."

The best of the night? Both Davids.

Who should go home? Danny and Luke.

Oh...and PS...what the HELL was Paula smoking tonight? Gawd, she was verbose!
