Andrew Lloyd Webber is a gifted songwriter...for broadway.  I've been half dreading/half highly anticipating this week.  I was dreading it because I thought the idols would butcher the songs and make fools of themselves.  I was anticipating it because I thought the idols would butcher the songs and make fools of themselves.  Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of butchering and instead it was just plain broadway songs, which equaled boring.

Syesha - The actress portion of her "triple threat" got to come out and play tonight.  Too bad she didn't pick up on the fact that Randy and Simon were putting her down by saying she was born to be a broadway star.  That is compliment...unless you're competing for American Idol!

Jason - To sum him you must look dazed and say: ahhhuuuaa 

Brooke - People make mistakes, but they keep going.  I agree with Paula (waiting for lightning to strike) that Brooke should have kept on going and not restarted the song.  So you forgot the line...go ahead and make something up.  Are people really going to know?  I definitely know that you stopped and started again. I know you goofed up.  And that's what I remember from you.

David A. - I kept waiting for glitter, and sparkles and ribbons to start flying everywhere.  For some reason whenever he sings I picture a unicorn running on stage and David jumping on it and flying away on a rainbow.  Anybody else?  For once I just want to hear him sing with only guitars and drums backing him up.  Something with a beat or a hook.  No more strings, gospel choirs and lollipops.

Carly - She definitely made the right decision to sing Superstar.  She totally rocked it and I loved every minute of it...until she brought out that tacky t-shirt.  She lost all the cred she just built from that performance.  Carly - you're a fantastic singer with the potential to have a cool edge.  Stop acting like you're 16 and at a pep rally.

David C.  - I'm glad that you had that scarf hanging down from your waist.  We wouldn't want to forget that you were a "rocker."

Things that I learned about Andrew Lloyd Webber:

1. The man means business.  There's no small talk or get to know you time with him.  He's in charge and that's the way it is...awright?

2.  Compliments don't come easy.  Usually mentors have at least one positive thing to say about the contestants, but not Webber.  He tells like it is...and it may suck for you (that means you Jason Castro).

3.  He could probably think of 2o,000 other places he'd rather be than up on stage.  I thought he was going to nervously sway himself off the stage at the end of the show.  Between the jerking and weird facial expressions I could have sworn Seacrest asked him how to solve world peace, but no, it was just a simple "what did you think of the night?" question.  It could be a disaster if Ryan asked him what he thought of the judges.
