Recap of the top 12 guys on American Idol
These guys were hot:
Jason Castro -- He made a great choice of the Lovin Spoonful gem "Daydream," a tune that can't help but put a smile on your face. As the only guy who played an instrument (in this case, an acoustic guitar), Castro stood out even more. He had loads of personality and charm, a real entertainer.
Michael Johns -- having been in a band signed to Madonna's Maverick label, Johns definitely seems like the male who had the biggest previous break. He covered "Light My Fire" by the Doors, AGAIN. Great stage presence but didn't really rock it out when he could have.
Bobby Carrico -- the rocker sang "One" made famous by Three Dog Night.Decent job.
David Cook -- Good job! he sang "Happy Together" by the Turtles and again, they started it slow and then...speeded it up to the song's standard tempo. he was pretty good and moved around well.
David Archuleta --. Already a serious front runner for the finale, Archuleta looked smooth and confident and YET also boyish and to Amanda slightly creepy. He seems like a 36 year old trapped in a 12 year old body.
Everyone else ... good singers but pretty forgettable.
