What a night! While Chikezie came out of left field and completely rocked the house, the (almost) infallible child prodigy of the bunch, David Archuleta crashed and burned (and it wasn’t pretty to watch). Right off the bat, David A. forgot a portion of his lyrics to the Beatles’ hit “We Can Work It Out,” and it was all down hill from there. We’re fairly confident he’ll make it to next round but our question is, "Will he be able to bounce back and reclaim his former glory?"
Of course, he'll bounce back, but if he goes out of his safe zone again, the same thing will happen. He's good at one kind of song and that's all. And as others have mentioned on the other blog, the songs he excelled at during the auditions and the last few weeks are songs he's done countless times; last night was a song he never did before. That doesn't bode too well for him in the future if he can't bring his talent to songs he's never done before.
And NO ONE should forget words to ANY song at this stage of the game and that goes for all the contestants.
