DeAndre Brackensick Cries, Aims to Make American Idol Fans Smile
by Hilton Hater at .Oh, DeAndre Brackensick. You're making this way too easy.
The high-pitched American Idol finalist covered a somewhat random Eric Benet track last night, "Sometimes I Cry," giving critics far too obvious of an avenue to mock the contestant. As in: yes, DeAndre, sometimes you make us cry, especially when you rely so heavily on a falsetto that pierces our ear drums.
The judges were on board with the performance, however, giving Brackensick a standing ovation. (Note to Randy, Steven and J. Lo: you stood up and applauded for five finalists this week. Five! Out of nine! Pick and choose your spots a bit more carefully or else a standing O won't exactly be considered special any longer.)
Will DeAndre escape the bottom three this week? Will he pack his bags and head home? It will all be based on this audition:
Clearly, we didn't love Brackensick. But here's a look at our three favorite performances from the top 9:
- Phillip Phillips telling us it's "Still Rainin."
- Elise Testone showing a "Whole Lotta Love."
- Joshua Ledet belting out a heartfelt "Without You."

And by the way, Dre has inspired millions of people. Look at him. He 's a normal kid who goes to school and he has a dream. What's so wrong about having a passion and dreaming about doing something you're good at? Something you love? DeAndre is a beautiful person, inside and out. His talent has no boundaries and he is going to be fine no matter what he decides to do. There are two, however that make me scratch my head and wonder how they stayed in the competition and that is Hollie Cavanaugh and Heejun Han. I was ECSTATIC that Heejun was eliminated. W
@ Darren: DeAndre is amazingly talented and the fact that he even tried to get on the show again after being rejected last year shows that he also has courage and he has grown from the experience and D

To all the naysayers and the writer of this article, please tell me how you can with any integrity tell me PP or Colton actually sing better than this young man, I'll not make any negative statements about either but go back and listen to the singing of there songs and tell me musically there better. Now it might fit your taste better and so be it but to write the rubbish that you portend to be fact is stupid. Think before you show your ignorance!!!!!!!!!!!!
