Carly Smithson is going home tonight.
I can’t say that I am surprised to see Carly Smithson go home from American Idol because she never really made a connection with me. Carly made it into the Top 6, so she should be proud of making it so far in American Idol’s 7th season.
I am happy to see Syesha Mercado and Brooke White stay another week.

I’m not going to write up a huge liveblog of tonight’s American Idol like I usually do. I will say that I enjoyed seeing Syesha Mercado on the AI stage tonight. She was looking pretty good and was singing well. However, overall Syesha faces overwhelming odds with the popularity of David Cook and David Archuleta this year.
Could Brooke White be going home tomorrow?
I like Brooke White — there’s something about her — be she won’t make it through to be the Idol this year. With her mistake, Brooke White will probably be thrown off the island.
I’ve never gotten into Jason Castro or Carly Smithson.
I can’t really get into Jason Castro — he seems like a nice guy — but that’s not enough to be the American Idol. And, I’ve never seen what others have seen in Carly Smithson — she has never made a connection with me. But, tonight’s performance will keep Carly Smithson safe for another week.
The real battle is between David Archuleta and David Cook.
The real battle for the number one position is between David Archuleta and David Cook in season 7 of American Idol.
The more I think about it, the more I think that David Cook will end up with the number one rank this year.
David Archuleta is good, but David Cook is older and is probably more marketable to a wider audience. But, don’t underestimate the power of David Archuleta’s many fans to dial and dial and dial for their favorite idol choice.
