We know it's early. The top 12 American Idol men have only performed one time during the semifinals.
And certain competitors were pleasant surprises: David Hernandez put on a smooth performance last night and Jason Castro has a unique sound to him.
Still, we feel confident already in saying the male side of things on Idol this season is all about three singers. Let's take a look at them now:
- Michael Johns (pictured): Come on, viewers, didn't he light your fire? Belting out this classic by The Doors last night, the former lead singer of The Rising is the most polished and mature of all semifinalists, male or female.
- David Archuleta: Can we just anoint him into the final five already? Simon said Archuleta's rendition of The Miracles' Shop Around was the best of the night. We're not sure we agree... but how is a guy with this voice just 17 years old?
- David Cook: This hopeful rocker put on our favorite performance of the evening. He took the slow tune, "Happy Together," and made it current and enjoyable. Perhaps it's the professional resumes possessed by the prior two contestants, but there's something innocent and fun about Cook.
Our picks to be eliminated tomorrow night: Garrett Haley and Jason Yeager.
Who was your favorite singer from last night? Who do you think is going home? Let us know!

I think Michael has a great chance to win this whole thing!

David Cook is young and fresh. It is EXACTLY what american idol needs. The younger 17 year olds are not appealing to me. David Cook's music is fun and I could hear him on the radio.

How can anyone say (did I read correctly above) not outright but that they questioned that david archuleta was the best this week. HE WAS BY FAR. He has the most talent by far and is not afraid to show it off on stage.

I loved David Cook last Tuesday when he sang Happy Together. I don't remember his audition but like what I've heard. I hope he makes it a few more rounds at least. I'm intersed in what he's got.
