I believe the children are our future

NO, she didn't! Aw, Brooke. The minute she said Carole King, I'm all, "NOT 'You've Got a Friend,' no no no no." But does Brooke listen to me? No, she does not, she's like one of my cats, for God's sake. And there's nothing wrong with "You've Got a Friend," heaven knows I near wore out my own "Tapestry" album, it's a lovely little song, but it is NOT the show-stopping number one should pull out for this, the most coveted Idol pimp spot, the final singer of the night!

I still love her, but I begin to believe that our Snow White is a bit simple after all.

Good night on the whole, I thought. Michael, Syesha, Kristy Lee—polished professionals, all. David Cook sounded great on a song I hated. David "Yawn" Archuleta was as pleasantly bland as ever. Only Carly was a disappointment—I thought she was beginning to pull it all together and actually develop a bit of a stage presence, but Simon called it; she came off angry tonight, rather than inspirational. She's our likely Homeward Bound girl, if we're going simply on performance.

For me, the evening star was Jason Castro, who reminds me more and more of John Travolta every week. Loved his rendition of "Over the Rainbow" (was that really a ukulele?!), every second of it. He is so goofy and dear. He needed to step up his game this week, and he totally did. Good job, Danny Zuko. You're the one that I want. (this week, anyway)

Now, learn from him, Brooke White! Carly's surprising suckitude may have saved you for another week, but you have got to step up. Otherwise Kristy Lee Bosoms is moving into the designated blonde spot, and you'll have only yourself to blame.

I know I sound angry, but I'm trying to be inspirational. Whoa, Carly, am I feeling you now.

Lady Chardonnay OUT.
