I agree with you on Kristy Lee and David H of course, but I have to put David A in the bottom three this week as well. Ramiele narrowly escapes. Even though he has a lot of raw talent, he royally screwed up that entire performance, forgetting lyrics on a couple of occasions and choosing that awful Stevie Wonder arrangement (I always disliked that version). To paraphrase Simon, it was an "utter mess". I don't think David A had ever heard of The Beatles before this week. Michael Johns mentioned that he thought you shouldn't even call yourself a musician if you don't possess a working knowledge of The Beatles' catalogue and I tend to agree with that. Of course, David A is NOT a musician...he's a kid with a decent voice.

In short, I thought the real musicians in the group completely schooled the pretty voices this week, which is what I expected from breaking out Lennon and McCartney.

Is there any way we can get all songs and arrangements by Whitney, Celine and Stevie banned from Idol forever. We have had a lifetime's worth in 7 years!!!
