what's ryan up to?<br /><br />going into round two:<br /><br /><strong>david cook</strong> shakes off the bad juju of round one and sings the who's <em>baba o-riley</em>.<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gDdgze8tH9E&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gDdgze8tH9E&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />he manages to get back in his zone. solid vocals and a very david cook rendition. it rocked.<br /><br /><strong>syesha</strong> picks another big song, <em>change is gonna come</em> by sam cooke.<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cLS7fZwRCr4&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cLS7fZwRCr4&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />it was a very emotional performance from her.<br /><br /><strong>jason</strong> goes with the bob's tonight and sings bob dylan's <em>mr. tambourine man</em>...and misses some lyrics.<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CZUpQHPqB5E&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CZUpQHPqB5E&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br />and david archuleta ends the show with love me tender by elvis presley<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3fuwukvbgsQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3fuwukvbgsQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />hot damn! after tonight's show david archuleta has me wrapped around his little finger...you know the one. the little one that sticks when he picks up his teacup for a sippy sippy. and jason has me disappointed. there's no way he should still be in the competition after tomorrow, but...you never know. it could be syesha just because; i bet more girls will vote for jason than for her.<br /><br />anyway, i see my prediction of a vocal beatdown between the two davids becoming a reality.<br /><br /><br /><br /><blockquote><b>but before you leave, let me remind you...</b><br /><br />“Everyone has a photographic memory.
