It’s Dolly night, folks. I love Dolly Parton and have often tried to sing her songs and they are tricky to pull off. Here’s to hoping Kristy Lee doesn’t ruin “Here You Come Again” or “I Will Always Love You.” On second thought, I have to think that Syesha might have to slap a bitch for trying to take her Whitney song.

Brooke White - “Jolene.” Meh. Brooke starts off with one of Dolly’s finest and brings it into mediocrity with one octave singing and a simple strum on her acoustic. Not bad, but boring and definitely not the best cover that could have been done with this iconic song.

David Cook – “Little Sparrow.” Looks like somebody took a shower and got a haircut. Dave takes a play from the Sting when he could still sing live book with a nice falsetto. I like the arrangement and his soulful tone. I think this will keep him safe this week for sure.

Ramiele – “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind.” Finally she’s made a good song choice! At least until she totally drops the pitch in the middle. The cute outfit and nice hair should keep her safe this week.

Jason Castro – “Traveling Through.” I hate Jackson Johnson with the heat of a millions tirefires in hell. As such, I also hate wack Jack Johnson arrangements on Idol. I predict the bottom three for this lame performance.

Carly Smithson – “Here You Come Again.” Carly brings her cruise-ship stylings to the Idol stage again. This is so the wrong song for her. She should have picked “9 to 5” or “Why’d You Come in Here Looking Like That.” Tone is good, but a bit Celine Dion-y. On a positive note, her Spanx appear to be holding up well and it looks like she got herself a nice weave.

David Archuletta – “Smoky Mountain Memories.” Young Dave’s managed to pick another sappy, Star Search 3 and ¼ star performance song. He gets points for being more in key than Jason, Brooke and Ramiele, but loses points for being such a wussbag. More importantly, what the hell is Michael Kors doing in the Idol audience, other than having many fashion heart attacks.

Kristy Lee – “The Coat of Many Colors.” Very interesting styling tonight. I wish someone would go for the full-on brow wax, but that might only help her chances of getting votes. Alas, the song suits her and she is far from the worst of the night.

Syesha – “You All Know What Song She’s Singing.” What Syesha wants, Syesha gets, and I’m guessing she had some tussles with the Idol girls about who would sing this song. Good choice of doing the hybrid Dolly-Whitney version. I think it could have been a tad lower in register, but overall it was the best of the night so far, which is not saying that much.

Michael Johns - "It So Wrong, But Its So Right." Other than the ascot, he looks great. He picked a sultry number that suits his voice. It nice, bluesy and entirely in key. Best of the night by a mile.
