American Idol Top 4 Recap: Three Rocked, One Rolled

If you don't know who is going home this week, you are insane.

David Cook - He sang "Hungry Like The Wolf" first, a really odd choice for him. I wasn't really feeling it. His second, "Teenage Wasteland", was MUCH better. Seriously, if you can really sing, you can sing everything. It was great.

Syesha Mercado - Let's be honest here: Tina Turner, at 68 years old during this year's Grammys, gave a more convincing performance. When a woman 3 times your age is outperforming you, you've got a problem. She made up for it in the second performance, though. Her voice was on point, especially at the end.

Jason Castro - His performance of "I Shot The Sheriff" was an absolute disaster, although to credit, it was his liveliest performance to date. His next performance "Mr. Tambourine Man" bored me to tears. Simon was right; pack your bags Jason.

David Archuleta - "Stand By Me" was a terribly obvious choice, but it was a great vocal, as always. I also liked the little "Beautiful Girls" injection toward the end. The next performance, "Love Me Tender", was exactly that, tender and sweet. Unfortunately, nothing compares to the original Elvis version. Still, he was the Best of the Night.

If there is an justice, Who's Going Home: Jason Castro.
