Ramiele Malubay, 20
Miramar, FL
“Hearts Alone” – 9/6/1987
What was up with the outfit that Ramiele was wearing? Sounded more like yelling than singing in some places.Randy: “It wasn’t the right song choice for you. It was a little pitchy, all over the place.”
Paula: “I’m really glad America has heard you sing and how big your voice really is. You’re a very big talent in a very small package.”
Simon: “I don’t think it was as bad as Randy said. In the middle it got a bit shrieky and shouty.”
Jason Castro, 21
Rockwall, TX
“Fragile” – 3/25/1987
Every song Jason sings sounds the same. Listening to his voice over gets annoying really quick to me.Randy: “I thought it was alright. It was very nice and pleasant. It didn’t do anything vocally, but it was nice.”
Paula: “I think you’re staying true to who you are. I don’t think we saw anything different that makes us go WOW.”
Simon: “I think you’ve had two bad weeks and I think it’s time you start taking this a little bit more seriously. That was the equivalent of someone basking outside a subway station. Everything about it was too laid back.”
Syesha Mercado, 21
Sarsota, FL
“If I Were Your Woman” - 1/2/1987
Syesha is my girl and she definitely has proven that she should be in this competition. I love the way she changes up her hair style. The natural is my favorite though. I guess I’m a little bias when it comes to that. I think she did a good job singing her song this week. Really showed her vocals.Randy: “I think this is the best I’ve ever heard you sing including when you auditioned. I think it was stellar, I think it was unbelievable, I’m shocked, I’m loving it.”
Paula: “This is going to be the moment that everyone remembers, that Syesha flipped it. It was your most brilliant.”
Simon: “Syesha, it was definitely the best so far. I don’t think the end part was as good as Randy thought. I think there is a limit on your vocal and that you sort of stretched it.”
Chikezie, 22
Inglewood, CA
“If Only For One Night” - 9/11/1985
I like it better when Chikezie sings his ballads. That’s what I think he does better at and if that’s what he likes, then that’s what he needs to do. However, a Luther song is not one he should have tried to do. He did the song no justice at all.
Randy: “I didn’t love it for you man. It was very old school. It wasn’t hip and cool. It was just kind of boring for me.”
Paula: “I disagree Randy. I think that you did a great job.”
Simon: “I think you sang it well. I think the performance was very cheesy.”
Brooke White, 24
Mesa, AZ
“Every Breath You Take” – 6/4/1983
Brooke made a big mistake. She started off messing up the song and started over again. I think it’s amazing that she has always played the piano by sound and not by sheet music. I don’t think this performance was as good as some of the others that she has given.
Randy: “I thought the front part of it was very good. I did not love the arrangement. It was just okay for me, it was alright.”
Paula: “I enjoyed this performance so much more than last week.”
Simon: “I totally agree with Randy. Definitely good enough to keep you in for another week. Brooke, better than last week.”
Michael Johns, 29
Buckhead, GA
“We Will Rock You/We Are the Champion” - 10/20/1978
I have no idea what Michael’s performance was about tonight. I just didn’t get it.
Randy: “Finally you believe in yourself and use that big ol’ voice you got. That was the best performance since you’ve been on this show.”
Paula: “This was your shining moment. I’m so proud of you.”
Simon: “This is the first time with you that I saw star potential. Tonight you just got it right.”
Carly Smithson, 24
San Diego, CA
“Total Eclipse of the Heart” - 9/12/1983
I wasn’t happy at first about Carly being in this competition but I have to say that she is pretty good and she has been pretty consistent to me. She really does have a good voice and her performance tonight was good.
Randy: “Very interesting song choice, I didn’t love it, I liked it. It was just okay for me.”
Paula: “I love what you did at the end. Carly, you could do no wrong tonight.”
Simon: “Something kind of didn’t quite work. I didn’t enjoy as much as I thought I was going to enjoy.”
David Archuletta, 17
Murray, UT
“You’re the Voice” - 12/28/1990
I did not like David’s performance tonight and that doesn’t make me very happy. I was really wanting him to have unbelievable performances so that he can make it to the top 3 or 4. But because he can sing and he is so cute, maybe he’ll still make it but eventually he’s going to have to step up his performances.
Randy: “It was a strange song choice. David’s got mad skills. Very nice.”
Paula: “David you could sing the phone book and we’d fall in love with it.”
Simon: “You sang it well in parts. I actually didn’t like the performance at all. I thought it was very reminiscent of a theme park performance.”
Kristy Lee Cook, 24
Selma, OR
“God Bless the U.S.A.” - 1/18/1984
Even though I full heartedly believe that Kristy should have been voted off a very long time ago, I think her performance tonight was decent. Especially compared to all the weeks past.
Randy: “Other than some pitchy spots, I thought it was a very nice performance for you.”
Paula: “It was a very good choice for you. I’ve seen better performances from you. You’re voice is sounding much strong. Watch the pitch problems.”
Simon: “You best performance by a mile. It was the most clever song choice that I’ve heard in years. I think overall it was a good performance.”
David Cook, 25
Blue Springs, MO
“Billy Jean” - 12/20/1982
David has that rock sound. And I hate to admit it but he really does have a good voice. But, I did not like the way he did this song. But it could be because I couldn’t get the Michael Jackson version out of my head.
Randy: “I think you’re probably the most original and most bold contestant we’ve ever had. And what you just did, dude you might be the one to win the whole lot. Hot! Blazing, molting, hot!”
Paula: “I’m blown away. I think you’re brilliant. I think you can beat this thing.”
Simon: “That was brave. It could have either been insane or amazing. It was amazing.”
