She's at her best when she goes back to her roots and sings those kind of songs. IMO. I was distracted most of the night but I LOVED Annie Lennox and I liked Mariah, too.

I think the reason Fergie isn't a bigger star is that her stardom feels like work. She doesn't make stardom look effortless. I always feel every calculation and thought that goes into putting Fergie the Star together. Syesha was very good in the group numbers, and for a while I've thought that she would do better in a girl group than as a solo singer. (Likewise, I've thought that Carly should front a band, which would decrease the pressure on her to look like a perfect pop star.) Fergie is engaged to actor Josh Duhamel.

He's very, very cute. I still can't figure out why they'd have Miley singing twice when they had to cut others out and still went over. Other than the live portion, they already had it produced. :blink_tb: Fergie’s engaged to Josh Duhamel from the show Las Vegas. He’s very, very cute.

She used to be the singer in Black Eyed Peas which had the huge hit "Where is the Love" which Justin Timberlake had something to do with. I saw the BEP in concert here in London and they were amazing and she has a phenomenal voice and stamina on stage! Never stopped leaping around.

All those big belters should pay attention. That is how you have a huge vocal AND portray emotional complexity in a song. She should be mentoring instead of freakin' Mariah.

This could be one of the best versions I've heard, and being involved in church music for the past 15 years, I've heard a lot of them. The gospel choir is still unnecessary though. Just the Idols and their harmonizing would have been sufficient on this song. <blockquote>Surprised sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not bigger than she is.

And "Big Girls Don't Cry" was at the top of pop radio this summer for like 11 or 12 weeks (or longer). I'd say that's pretty big. David Cook's recorded version of "Innocent" - two thumbs up.

Interesting Tidbits: 1. Opening number was AWESOME when it really shouldn't have been. 2. Annie Lennox is all types of AMAZING. 3. Fergie can SING! I knew it. Sad John Legend didn't do more though. 4. Carrie Underwood gets better and better. 5. Archie still can't remember lyrics or the fact that he has actually sung "Angels" numerous times in the past. Does he meet DSM IV criteria for early Alzheimers yet? 6. Mariah Carey has officially lost her voice...at least the quality that made it special to begin with. She's still amazing. I spent most of my childhood just in awe of her. 7. Closing Number: DC and Carly brought it home. I LOVE both of their voices. Tomorrow Bottom 3: Carly, Syesha, DC with DC headed back to the chairs first. He needs a scare. Based on what I heard tonight on the pop/gospel numbers they did....I am certain that Cook can bring this home. He just can't afford another iffy night. Ah....I hope Syesha is gone. I just don't want to deal with her trying to out-Mariah-Mariah when it's obviously never going to happen. But no...I think Carly is gone...truly gone. Not enough of a fan base to save her when the casual vote went Jason Castro's way. Much MUCH better than last year.

I don't know why she's not connecting with the judges and/or the public -- besides that she's an actress and her performances are "safe".

One of the probs with David A for me is that he's been prepped since he was a baby to be a singing star and he comes off as a total innocent. All those songs he chooses he's sung over and over and over elsewhere...and why hasn't he been signed by someone? Could it be dad wants too much control? Just thinking.
