mariah carey top 07How will the Top 07 remaining contestants, including David, be able to handle the songs of Mariah Carey.  Throughout the years, the judges have always criticized contestants for taking on big songs from hit powerhouses including Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.  Being the mentor for next week’s Mariah theme, how will they judge the contestants on her songs?

Many are speculating on what David will be singing…Another slow song or an upbeat song?  One that has meaning or not?  So many choices to choose from; and my lips are sealed.  Down to a few choices, Archuleta is deciding on the final song choice to perform.  How will he, and all the other contestants, handle the pressure of Mariah Carey?

Listen to David Archuleta’s Top 08 studio version of “Angels” in the audio player.

Well, Archuleta fans, what can I say? Last night’s episode was a strange one…very strange indeed.

“Inspirational” songs was on the menu, and once again, our man Archuleta delivered a powerhouse “Angels” performance that featured his piano skills, his wide range, his expert note selection in the ad-libbed melismas, and his ever-growing readiness for a world-wide concert tour!

What’s interesting about this week’s performance is that his voice was not as on-pitch as it has been in the past. In fact, he looked exhausted as he sang. Has Archuleta been losing sleep (like I have these past few weeks)?? However, that look of exhaustion added a whole ‘nother dimension to the entire performance, and he ended up turning it into artistic gold. His performance last night was on par with seasoned performers who take the stage at their concerts and just absolutely captivate the audience with their voices and musicianship, regardless of the minor pitch issues and vocal faults. I challenge everyone who is reading this to attend a concert with the absolute best singer on the face of the earth that one can think of, and I can guarantee that he/she will not sing everything in tune.

The judges loved it, the fans loved it, I loved it, and that’s really all that needs to be said. AWESOME JOB, ARCHULETA!!!!!

Now for the strange….follow me over the break for the rest of the review…..
