David Cook seals his ticket into the American Idol finals with Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.”
David Cook sang last, he has violins playing in the backgroud, has the smoky voice and is going to get a lot of votes because he’s kicking it into higher rock gear toward the end of the song.
Paula is giving David Cook a standing ovation.
Randy says he loved the song, but it was just okay. Very predictable.
Paula says “See ya in the finals. That’s what I predict.”
Simon says “One of the great songs of all time. … David Cook wins the night.”

Syesha Mercado gets great song to showcase her talent in Gia Ferrell’s “Hit Me Up.”
Will Syesha Mercado win over the hearts of the American Idol voters enough so that they keep her on for another week?
Randy says he can see Syesha Mercado sing a song like that. It was just okay, Randy says.
Paula points out that the song is from “Happy Feet.” “You did the song very well. … I don’t know if it is the type of song that defines you as an artist.” Paula isn’t sure if she’s going to make it into the finals.
Simon says that Syesha Mercado had her best moment last week with her Sam Cooke song.
