Human after all

David Archuleta is human after all! Who would've thought? I was beginning to think David's the 5.0 version of Vicki the robot from Small Wonder but after that rather messy performance the other contestants must had sighed a breath of relief and somehow motivated by this - not that it would seriously affect the voters anyway.

So tonight the Top 12 began their battle for supremacy..or survivorship..or votes..or whatever you want to call it. While I was impressed with the usual lot i.e. Carly, David C. (fast becoming a favourite despite his wishy-washy performance but my God, he can definitely give David A. a run for his money if he continues to shine), Brooke, Jason (I don't care what Simon said about his student-in-a-bedroom performance..I loved, Loved, LOVED it!) and Amanda, the likes of Syesha, Michael and David H (unless you're the Beatles, people should leave "I Saw Her Standing There" alone) only managed 'C' grades in my book.

Now that we've got the Top 12, predicting who's going out tomorrow isn't going to be easy. We know David A. will survive the malestorm - c'mon who could resist THAT smile?? - so he's safe. Chikezie..? Well he pulled it off with that interesting take on one of my favourite Beatles's song AND as much as his enthusiasm (alongside Ryan's OTT chest-bumping behaviour) annoyed me even more, I have to admit (begrudgingly) he was better than the last 2 weeks. WHICH leaves us with Ramiele and Kristy...

On top of being sickeningly annoying with her "it's ok" replies, my gut feeling tells me there's a possiblity the voters might cut her tomorrow based on the fact that she hasn't delivered. It's as if she's scared to showcase her voice so she sticks to being safe, perhaps hoping on the fact that her sticky sweetness will win her over. And as for Kristy, I think my past post-mortems have said more than enough....so it'll be a toss between these two girls.

Speaking of Ryan, does anyone else think that his constant ribbing of Simon plus his OTT behaviour tonight are getting a wee bit out of hand?
