All Eyes on

I certainly don't have two hours to spare for this show, but I'm a sucker for singers, so here we go! Tonight, the guys are up first and I'm ready to vote! Let's compare notes!

1. David Hernandez, 24, Glendale, AZ
David H. (There are three "Davids") sings "In the Midnight Hour." He has decent chops and sets expectations high for tonight's performances, which will focus on music of the 60s. He doesn't have a strong finish though. Randy agrees and says the competition is on. Paula notes that David H. has the vocals. Simon says, "It was actually better than I thought it was gonna be" and encouraged him to loosen up.

2. Chikezie Eze, 22, Inglewood, CA
He's a sharp dresser but I feel he either tried to change "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" up too much or completely mauled it. The audience loved it though. Randy encourages him to make the older songs fresh. Paula gushes foolishly followed by her typical babbling. Simon says, "I absolutely hated the whole performance" and even went on to insult the threads. Now, that's just wrong. But not as wrong as Chikezie snapped back at Simon. That could end up hurting him.

3. David Cook, 25, Blue Springs, MO
WOW right off the bat. Singing "Happy Together," David C.'s voice is a little weak for the way he's trying to deliver it but still, very, very enjoyable. This is a fun, rockin' performance! Randy's lovin' it and so does Paula. Simon felt he shouted the song in the middle but he seems to like it nonetheless.

4. Jason Yeager, 28, Grand Prairie, TX

This guy looks like one of the Lettermen - for those of you who remember who the Lettermen were. His voice is pleasant on "Moon River," but nothing more than pleasant. Dinner theater for sure. Randy encourages him to not lose his concentration while performing. Paula gets gushy about her first ballet recital being to that song. Simon hits it dead on calling it a cruise ship performance.

5. Robbie Carrico, 26, Melbourne, FL
Singing "One," Robbie's voice is all right but the song's arrangement is quite distracting. I'm not sure what to make of this performance. Randy likes the version though and says "You move me, baby." Paula calls him "authentic." Simon says it's the only performance tonight that has any semblance of making sense.

6. David Archuleta, 17, Murray, UT

David A.'s "You Better Shop Around" demonstrates that his voice could use a little fine-tuning. I think that will come if he gets the opportunity to stick in this competition for any length of time. He's terribly young and cute as a button. He'll definitely get the vote of Tweener girls. David A. finishes stronger than a west Texas wind though! Randy calls it "brilliant" and says he is born with a gift. Paula calls the song choice brave and bold. Simon says, "When you got it, you got it." He even goes on to say it's the best performance of the night. Just as I confess to my husband that I want to adopt this child, Ryan says, "You can only vote for him, you actually can't adopt him!" My home is TAPPED!!!

7. Danny Noriega, 18, Azusa, CA
This pretty boy thinks he's hot. Singing "Jailhouse Rock" he proves he he can sing okay and perform well. There's still something about him though that gives me the creeps. Maybe it's his arrogance. Maybe it's the way he ends this song. Eww. Randy likes it that Danny's having a good time but says the vocals are only okay. Paula babbles then gets to the point and calls the song safe. Shut up Paula. Your hair doesn't even look good. Simon calls the performance "verging on grotesque." In the banter with Ryan, Danny snaps his attitude in Simon's direction, proving my point that there's something creepy about this freaky.

8. Luke Menard, 29, Crawfordsville, IN

Luke looks like a Luke. Pleasant voice on "Everyone's Talkin' At Me" and a delightful ending but no "Wow" factor. Too safe. Randy calls it pitchy. First real bad review of the night. Paula agrees and instead of shutting up there, she babbles. Simon calls it forgettable. I agree.

9. Colton Berry, 18, Staunton, VA
Earlier, he compared his looks to Ellen DeGeneres and he's absolutely correct. From his looks to his humor - Colton is the offspring of Ellen. He sings "Suspicious Minds," one of the few Elvis songs I actually like. Not perfect, but definitely much more enjoyable than I expected. Vocals are more impressive than expected. I didn't want to like this little terd. Randy says he did a pretty good job. Paula says it's nice to see a different side of him but says it wasn't his best performance but appreciated the eager attempt. Simon says he has no relevance in today's musical industry. I disagree. Simon goes on to be ruder, if you can imagine. I'm starting to take issue with our resident Brit.

10. Garrett Haley, 17, Elida, OH

He looks shy, meek and out of his element. Garrett admits he has an issue with confidence. Singing Neil Sedaka's style of "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." Not a "Wow" performance but impressive though. Best voice of the evening, in my opinion, but not the best performance. Randy encourages him to bring something new to it and calls it boring. He couldn't be more wrong. "Be courageous" says Paula. Simon drops buckets of unwelcomed insults. Garrett responds that he's going to take the judges' constructive criticism and learn from it. What a good, genuine kid. I'm ticked with the judges for sure now.

11. Jason Castro, 20, Rockwall, TX

My husband says, and I must agree, that our second Jason in the competition looks like John Travolta. Let's clarify that the looks are similar facially. Jason C. has tons of grubby dreads. Playing "What a Day for a Daydream" on the guitar. Strong vocals. Not my favorite song but he could win my ears over as having the best vocals of the night. Randy recognizes the few pitch problems but says it was all right. Paula says he blew her away and called the performance "effortless." Simon says Jason C. is one of the top two performers of the night and calls it "terrific." They've been hiding this gem from us.

12. Michael Johns, 29, Buckhead, GA
Speaking of gems, I must announce: HOTTIE AUSSIE ALERT!!! He lives in Buckhead, Georgia now and if you ever make your way to Atlanta, Buckhead is definitely the place to hop the nightclubs and pick up hot, successful guys. If cute slackers are more your type, there's plenty of them available too! Now, back to HOTTIE'S performance on "Light My Fire." He can light my fire! The vocals aren’t as good as they were on his Queen performance from last week. Regardless, he's hot. HOT, HOT, HOT!!! I'm such a girl at heart! Randy loves him and calls him "the bomb." "Excellent way to end the night," concurs Paula. Simon calls him the "most consistent contestant" and adds that he’s "just got it." He's only a decade younger than I am. The husband is younger than I am too, but not THAT young!

So, whom are you voting for tonight? Did I mention Michael Johns had a GREAT butt? Gosh, do I vote for hottie, cutie or sweetie? Who should go home? Which two are going to fall through the cracks? Let me know because I certainly don't! The husband feels we haven't seen an American Idol in the guy group. Do you agree? HOLD ON!!! We just compared notes and the anonymous husband agrees with me that Chikezie and Danny Noriega are going home tomorrow night. Luke's at risk too.
