American Idol tonight hosted 80’s night for the 8 remaining guys in the competition, so lets get right down to business.

	From what I understand from the girls I know this Luke Menard guy is somewhat attractive or something. I’m sure he is but why the WHAM! song? Are things just too easy for Luke and he’s just making it more of a competition? Well, the singing was OK and the song choice in our opinion just stank. The 80’s were not that bad.
	David Archuleta is maintaining his status as everyone’s favorite little kid that can really sing. He did another slow song this week and showed off is mad pianist skills for the first part of the song, but next time he needs to speed things up again. The odds of him bringing out another moving performance like he did last week is pretty slim so lets see some fun, David!
	I have to say that Danny Noriega’s attitude really bothered me early on but he’s been growing on me and a lot of other American Idol fans. He’s got a decent voice and a tremendous attitude, but he adds a lot of character and fun to the show. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I hope he sticks around for a while and I think he will.
	David Hernandez really does have a voice. He didn’t put out quite the performance that he did last week and I was glad to see he wasn’t wearing some type of hoodie but it was nevertheless a strong performance, even if it was a Celine Dion song. Unfortunately we don’t think David has got what it takes to make it many more weeks.
	Dude, don’t they have the commercials in Australia about never letting them see you sweat? Michael Johns looked like he just finished a Tae Bo class after his INXS performance. His performance was actually pretty darn good and Michael is a very solid competitor for this season.
	Wow. David Cook just did a great job this week. Even Simon managed to muster up some compliments for this guy. The Lionel Richie song was a surprising choice but the guy pulled it off so we have to give David a thumbs up. Nice job.
	‘Half baked’ is what comes to mind when I see Jason Castro talk. I live in the Portland, OR area and Jason would feel right at home out here. Like David Cook, Jason’s performance was also very impressive this week. He managed to drop the guitar and pried some compliments out of Simon as well. Another slower song and very well done. This weeks voting decision is looking tough for the guys.
	Chikezie is the potential famous super star going by one name like Madonna… or McLovin. Chikezie also sang a slower song this week and did an OK job. We thought he was much more fun last week and does a little better with more upbeat music. This was so-so for us this week and definitely was not a standout this time.
