Week Ten: Judge's/Singer's/Producers' Choice

David Archuleta
"And So It Goes" (Paula's Pick)

The Judges' Comments: Randy requests that David check it out. He says that David can sing anything. Even the phone book? Yes, Randy. Even the phone book. Does anybody want to see just how many times Randy has given David this exact critique? He needs to be replaced. Randy, not David. Paula calls it "pure and stunning," but Simon criticizes the lack of surprises. He ventures that it wasn't outstanding, but the girls in the mosh pit disagree.

"With You" (David's Pick)

The Judges' Comments: Randy isn't sure that this was the right song, though he likes the choice. For Paula, though, this was perfect. Simon expected a treacle-y ballad, but he compares it to "a Chihuahua trying to be a tiger." Nice.

"Longer" (Producers' Pick)

The Judges' Comments: Once again, Randy says that David could sing anything. The phone book? Oh my yes. The phone book. Randy, you're dead weight. Paula calls it lovely. Simon's not a fan of the song, but he doesn't blame Archuleta. Simon predicts that David has done enough to get into the Finals next week.
