More 80's on American Idol

The Top 10 American Idol contestants took to the stage last night to sing songs from 'The Year they Were Born' ... which obviously means more songs from the 80's!
A few weeks back the contestants sang 80's songs and there were great performances as there were lousy ones!
But ... how did the Top 10 do last night?

The first to go was Ramiele Malubay and she sang "Alone" by Heart from 1987.
The judges thought she did kinda' fine and may survive this week.
The second to go was Jason Castro and he sang "Fragile" by Sting from 1987.
He did good, but hasn't offered anything new for a couple of weeks now ... he might be in danger!
The third to go was Syesha Mercado and she sang "If I Were Your Woman" by Gladys Knight from 1987.
She did great! Even the judges thought that was her best ever performance yet!

The fourth to go was Chikezie and he sang "If Only for One Night" by Luther Vandross from 1985.
He sang well but his performance wasn't anything special or anything so impressive!
If he wants to stay in the game, he should start performing better!
The fifth to go was Brooke White and she sang "Every Breath You Take" by The Police from 1983.
She sings and plays the piano ... but her performance became wobbly when the band joined in towards the end. But she did good and will make it through to next week.
The sixth to go was Michael Johns and he sang a bit of "We Will Rock You"and a bit of "We Are the Champions" by Queen from the year 1978.
Michael did Grreat! His best performance and maybe the best of the night too!
Simon said: "Michael, this is the first time with you that I've seen star potential. You just got it right. For me, it's the only memorable performance of the night so far".

The seventh to go was Carly Smithson and she sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Jim Steinman from 1983.
She tried her best but there was something off about her performance! As for the final note ... I think it was a wrong choice and that ruined the song!
The eighth to go was David Archuleta and he sang "You're the Voice" by John Farnham from 1990! Gosh! 1990 is like yesterday!
A strange choice that sounded like something out of a cartoon musical!
But David did his best and it wasn't a disastrous performance!
The ninth to go was Kristy Lee Cook and she sang "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood from 1984.
She chose THE right-est song to sing! Who's going to vote her off American Idol when she sings God Bless the USA?
The last to sing was David Cook and she chose to sing Michael Jackson's Billie Jean from 1982.
He reflected his own character on the song, so it wasn't giving off a Jacko spirit anymore!
Which was very smart and brave of him.
Simon told him: "David, that was brave. It could have either been insane or amazing, and I have to tell you, it was amazing".

So, who will be leaving tonight? Will Chikezie go home? Or will it be a girl this time? Maybe Carly Smithson?
