Alright, so I’ve been accused of making this blog an American Idol blog, but it’s not although I will bring certain AI points out in this blog. Don’t worry, my dear David, AI is over in 2 weeks.
Now to business. The list below is the AI iTunes most downloaded songs. Interestingly, David Cook controls near half of this list and tops all AI contestants with 9 songs. Archuleta currently holds the number one spot (one that has not belonged to anyone except Cookie since his Billie Jean performance), but everyone knows that Archie having that spot is due to the poor studio choice called “Hungry Like The Wolf”. And how strange is it that Syesha Mercado has made it to the final 3, but she doesn’t have a single song in this top 20 list? I say my Cookie has the clear advantage here.
1. David Archuleta — “Love Me Tender”
2. David Cook - “Hungry Like The Wolf”
3. David Cook - “Always Be My Baby”
4. Jason Castro - “Mr Tambourine Man”
5. David Cook - “Billie Jean”
6. David Cook - “Music of the Night”
7. David Cook - “I’m Alive”
8. David Archuleta - “Think of Me”
9. Jason Castro - “Over the Rainbow”
10. David Archuleta - “Sweet Caroline”
11. David Cook - “Hello”
12. David Archuleta - “Imagine”
13. David Archuleta - “When You Believe”
14. David Cook - “Eleanor Rigby”
15. David Cook - “Innocent”
16. David Cook - “Little Sparrow”
17. David Archuleta - “Angels”
18. Jason Castro - “Forever in Blue Jeans”
19. Jason Castro - “Hallelujah”
20. Brooke White - “I Am… I Said”

Thoughts on Top 4 AI Performances
ROUND 1:
David Cook's "Hungry Like The Wolf" --- I was really disappointed by it. It sounded like he was screaming and forcing most of the song and I, for once, disliked a song sung by my Cookie. *sad face*
Syesha Mercado's "Proud Mary" --- It was too slow, too boring, too forgettable for this late in the competition. She picked up the speed some, but it just didn't do it for me.
Jason Castro's "I Shot The Sheriff" --- Meh. It was okay, but forgettable. It's a bit more on the side of his style, but I still see him being a Jack Johnson type of guy over Bob Marley.
David Archuleta's "Stand By Me" --- OH. MY. GOD. I don't like Archie, but this song just blew me away. He sung it with absolute perfection!!! It was so amazing, I'm near speechless.
ROUND 2:
David Cook's "Baba O'Reilly" --- Aaaaaaaaand the Cookie I've grown to love is back and has redeemed himself. Woot. I definitely hope AI allows this song to be his studio version over that last one. *happy, excited face*
Syesha Mercado's "A Change is Gonna Come" --- Much, much better than her first song. The end was a bit too much, but she had an overall very good performance. Redeemed herself as well.
Jason Castro's "Mr. Tambourine Man" --- Forgetting the lyrics, eh? Jason...are you trying to go home? I believe so. The song was overall not too bad, minus the lyric skipping part. I love it when Jason plays his guitar. And this song was much more his thing.
David Archuleta's "Love Me Tender" --- And this is why he got the pimp spot. Both songs were amazing...with this one being less amazing than the first, but still amazing enough.
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
The David's are safe yet another week. They will be the Final 2. Syesha and Jason will be the ones endangered, but Jason is most likely to go home. He's colored red on Dial Idol whereas the other three are green. I've also heard through the grapevine that when Ryan was giving out Jason's number, Jason mouthed, "Don't vote" so I believe he's completely ready to go home. This just isn't his thing...he'd rather be a more laid-back performer like Jack Johnson, me thinks. Anywho, all that really matters is that my Cookie will go on to next week's performance and rock it once again, I'm sure.

Top 4 - American Idol 7
Let's see what the top 4 are singing tonight...
David Archuleta
- "Stand by Me" by Ben E. King
- "Love Me Tender" by Elvis Presley (cover by Norah Jones)
David Cook
- "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who
- "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran
Jason Castro
- "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan
- "I Shot the Sheriff" by Bob Marley (cover by Eric Clapton)
Syesha Mercado
- "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner
- "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke
So for the first time, I'm excited to hear a song by David Archuleta. Archie's bored me to death all season, but this Elvis song is gonna be something. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of either song that my Cookie (David Cook) will be singing tonight. Both of Jason's songs fit him PERFECTLY! As for Syesha, I couldn't care less and I hope she goes home tomorrow.
