America Makes a Mistake

9:26 We’re back…Looking at Idols on Broadway…Tamyra Gray in “Rent.” They‘re trying really hard to make her sound really successful…Clay Aiken in “Spamalot.” I really don’t like that light red hair. I’m sorry, Clay…Clay plugs his album which comes out May 6th…LaKisha in the house…

9:29 Ryan introduces Leona Lewis by saying it pains him to say that Simon discovered her. Simon gives credit to Clive Davis (Boo Hiss!) as well…She’s doing “Bleeding Love”…The sad thing is that there is no other song on her CD as radio-friendly--or as good--as this one. Not sure what she’ll do for a second single…I would love to see footage of when Simon first heard her sing. You know his jaw just dropped to the floor when he heard that someone that gorgeous could sing that well…She is pretty amazing…Flames shoot out on stage…I hope that someone is helping her with her voice, though, so she doesn’t end up like Jordin…

9:34 Ryan tells her it’s nice to finally meet her since they’ve only talked on the phone…

9:35 Back to the eliminations…Syesha and Brooke. Hmmm…Syesha…Brooke. She looks sick. Ryan said she had a “false start”…Brooke says it was the right move to start over. Could we get past that now?…Brooke admits that she has interrupted the judges in the past and so she decided to bite her tongue last night…Brooke…safe…She is stunned and Syesha forces a smile as Ryan says she’s in the bottom two…Paula says Syesha should be proud…Break…
