American Idol – Top 7 Week

Mariah Carey was the celebrity mentor this week and the seven remaining Idols tried their hands at her impressive catalog. I’ve got to admit that as someone who’s not a fan of Mariah’s music I was predicting a train wreck of epic proportions this week, but it really wasn’t that bad. Shows what I know… Here’s our breakdown*** of the top seven performances.

The Top Four
1. David Cook
2. David Archuleta
3. Jason Castro
4. Kristy Lee Cook

The Bottom Three

5. Syesha Mercado
6. Brooke White
7. Carly Smithson

As Simon correctly guessed the three remaining men on American Idol had it easier this week. Of the females Kristy and Syesha where the two best and you could make a case for either to be not be in the bottom three. In weeks past we’ve called for Syesha to get the axe which hasn’t happened. This week we’re predicting it’s time for Carly to go.

6. Carly Smithson
7. Syesha Mercado
