We’re down to the penultimate episode before the finale. Three singers, singing three songs. Here’s how I saw it.

David Cook was the best of the three by far. He gave two of his songs a signature stamp. I think his version of “The First Time Ever I saw Your Face” was excellent. His closing song was also superb.

Syesha was second best in my opinion, but she will probably not be back next week. I liked what she did better than David A. But she could have done better.

David A has the teen vote sown up so he will be back next week. He sang each of his songs well, but there was nothing surprising or amazing about it. It was more or less what we expect from him except the Chris Brown song “My Boo” which I felt was kind of lame. But the song is pretty weak anyway.

As most of us have surmised, next week will probably be the two Davids duking it out. As far as I’m concerned Cook should win. But we’ll have to see how both of them do next week. I just hope the winners song isn’t as bad as some of them have been in past years.
