Carly Smithson (Hometown Girl) did okay on American Idol last night: but David Cook blew it out

Kristy Lee Cook (are they related?) sang a song about loving America because she is so desperate not to be in the bottom three (again) this week she had to bust out the big guns (next time, show more boobage too, that always works).

Carly sang Total Eclipse of the Heart, a song you listen to on the radio and think "Why do I know all the words to THIS song?!" She did okay, it was super Carly style and whatever, she's pretty good. I still like her... enough... to not want her to go home... yet.



But it was David Cook who done blew it out this week with his cover of Billie Jean. To which I said to Husband "man, he's got some balls, doing that to Michael Jackson."

And Husband said "I'm sure Michael Jackson likes it when people do that to him."

*Insert, accept he's not a 12 year old boy joke/ maybe if it was Archuleta because Archuleta looks like a 12 year old boy joke here, because I can't. I'm a MJ fan and I can't bring myself to make the oh so obvious 12 year old boy jokes. That's ignorant! (I can bring myself to make a Southpark joke apparently).*

For your David Cook viewing pleasure:



Funnily enough, someone on You Tube already put them together too, so here are David Cook and Carly Smithson's performances from last night. (You really can find EVERYTHING on You Tube).
