Gak nyangka yah udah masuk The Big 3… dan lebih gak nyangka lagi Syesha Mercado bisa masuk hingga babak ini! Well, tapi gimanapun juga The Davids kayaknya yg bakal masuk Final, so gimana penampilan mereka malam ini yg masing2 bawain 3 lagu? Simak aja…
Ronde 1 - Pilihan Juri:
1. David Archuletta - “And So It Goes” by Billy Joel (Pilihan Paula Abdul)
RJ: You can sing anything. You are in the zone. In it to win it.
PA: I felt you were a story teller. A beautiful performance.
SC: It was really good, a bit predictable. I don’t think it was outstanding.
CD: Terlalu standard, malah terkesan Boring… Hello? Minggu depan udah Final lho, mestinya David bisa lebih dari ini! (7/10)

2. Syesha Mercado - “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys (Pilihan Randy Jackson)
RJ: You did an amazing job on it. I am so happy that you are peaking at the right time in this competition.
PA: I applaud you. You look stunning.
SC: You sang that very well. You look gorgeous.
CD: Ugh, sayang banget Syesha tidak bisa lepas dari bayang2 Alicia Keys yg udah ngetop banget dgn lagu ini. (7/10)

3. David Cook - “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack (Pilihan Simon Cowell)
RJ: I have been a David Cook fan since day 1. Loved the high note at the end but wish Simon had picked something not so predictable.
PA: That is one of my favorite songs and now you are my second favorite person to sing it.
SC: I think it was one of your best performances to date. This is what makes you brilliant. You take risks. Round one goes to Cook and Cowell.
CD: Kaget juga waktu Simon pilihin lagu ini, karena lagu yg ‘berat’ dan termasuk ngebosenin, tapi ternyata David Cook bisa bawain dgn bagus… terutama Endingnya! (8/10).

Ronde 1 pemenangnya adalah David Cook!

Ronde 2 - Pilihan Peserta
4. David Archuleta - “With You” by Chris Brown
RJ: I am not sure thats the right song. I couldn’t believe it.
PA: Perfect. I think you should be singing songs like this. Great job.
SC: I applaud you however it was like a chihuahua trying to be a tiger. It was a bit awkward.
CD: Hmm, sebenarnya lagu ini diluar jangkuan David, tapi tertolong karena lagunya sendiri emang keren dan cocok banget buat fans2 ABG nya! (8/10)

5. Syesha Mercado - “Fever”
RJ: A very interesting song choice. You sang it well. Amazing performance.
PA: I am surprised you picked this. Not sure it shows me who Syesha is as an artist.
SC: I think you will probably regret that tomorrow. You did quite a lame cabaret performance.
CD: Kenapa Syesha mesti milih lagu tua yah? Mestinya dia bisa milih lagu yg menonjolkan Vocalnya! (7/10)

6. David Cook - “Dare You to Move” by Switchfoot
RJ: Great song choice. Performance wise, it wasn’t you best. A little pitchy.
PA: You just got to the beginning when you got to the end of the song
SC: I think all 3 of you had an ok middle round.
CD: Sayang banget, lagu ini ‘panas’nya cukup lama, sebenarnya gak jelek, tapi karena durasi cuman 1.30 menit aja, mestinya bawain lagu yg lebih ngetop dan lebih keren dari awal! (7/10)

Ronde 2 pemenangnya adalah David Archuletta!
Ronde 3: Pilihan Produser

7. David Archuleta - “Longer” by Dan Fogelberg
RJ: Interesting song choice. You are in the zone. Another hot one from you.
PA: Lovely performance.
SC: You sang the song very well. I felt the song and the lyrics were horrible. Something you chose for a 90 year old but I think you have done enough to get into the finals.
CD: Hehe.. kayaknya Produsernya sengaja milihin lagu ‘tua’ supaya para Fans yg terdiri dari nenek2 pada Vote buat David! (7/10)

8. Syesha Mercado - “Hit Me Up” by Gia Farrell
RJ: I can see you doing a song like that. It was just ok for me.
PA: You did the song very well. As much as I liked it, I don’t think it is the type of song that defines Syesha.
SC: Better than the second song. You had your best moment last week and nothing this week has topped that. You didn’t get the defining moment I would have liked.
CD: Dibanding penyanyi aslinya.. masih jauh, apalagi Syesha kedengaran cukup kewalahan bawain lagu ini, beat2nya yg cepat bikin Syesha kedengaran ‘pitchy’ disana sini (7/10)

9. David Cook - “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” - Aerosmith
RJ: It was ok for me. Very predictable.
PA: See you in the finals.
SC: David Cook wins the night.
CD: Singlenya udah keren, dibawain lagi dgn keren pula ama David Cook! Closing yang bagus! (9/10)

Ronde 3 yang menang David Cook!
So, pastinya semua dah bakal nyangka kalo The Davids bakal masuk Final… ntah lagi kalo Produser Idol cukup sinting utk memasukkan Syesha! Tapi gak seru kalo salah satu David gugur… lebih seru kalo The Davids bakal Fight minggu depan!
