The four hours' worth of performances were a lot to digest, so here’s a crib sheet of what you really need to know:
The judges’ table
Simon's harshest slam: Cowell said Danny Noriega’s performance was “verging on grotesque.” We wonder what would have pushed it over the edge?
Randy’s most repetitive comment: “Blow” was his verb of choice on Tuesday. Some dawgs could really blow, and others just... blew.
Least intelligible Paula-ism: “You have the most amazing, pure, innocent vocals with lots of colors that I am really looking forward to you showing.” (Wow.)
The good, the bad and the pitchy
The frontrunners: You’d have to be a fool not to be rooting for the outstanding David Archuleta, but the wide-eyed 17-year-old isn’t exactly a marketable popstar. Such is not the case for his biggest competitor—slap Syesha Mercado’s mug on any album, calendar or tea cozy, and even the hotcakes will be jealous.
Who should get the axe? For the boys, it’s easy: Danny Noriega’s flamboyant pantomiming will make him the Sanjaya of Season 7 if he isn’t immediately stopped. As for the girls, it’s a little harder, but another week of Kady Malloy’s dead-eyed sleepwalking is not something we care to endure.
Who will America vote off? After slaughtering the Fred Neil classic “Everybody's Talking,” Luke Menard earned his imminent execution. None of the girls were quite as unremarkable, but expect Amy "Snoozefest" Davis to be one of the first two to get tossed.
