(My God I have a lot of catching up to do... >_<)
I was ecstatic when I heard ALW was going to be on American Idol. Unfortunately, I heard it a week prior to it coming on and had forgotten by the time it was actually on. Thank God for Youtube.
My two favorites, hands down, were David Cook singing MOTN and Syesha Mercado singing One Rock n Roll Too Many (which I hadn't heard until then).
David Archuleta, who sang Think of Me, however, makes me sick. He has been on my list since they were doing Beatles songs and he forgot the words. And then singing TOM, he forgot the words again, not to mention he butchered it with his goody-two-shoes-boyband-pop interpretation of it. He is gifted with his voice, and it really fries my patience that he uses it so poorly.
But really, that whole show was a little disappointing. I think everyone screwed up one way or another, by either forgetting the words or starting off beat. I was just happy to see ALW! He's the coolest.
