'American Idol': Better Than 'Cats'
On a very theatrical night of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs, Syesha goes cabaret, Carly rocks, and Brooke melts down
Okay, American Idol fans, here's the ultimate Andrew Lloyd Webber-night head scratcher: Can you do more damage to your credibility by remembering every line of your script than by noticeably flubbing your lyrics?
In the case of tonight's American Idol episode, the answer is a resounding ''yes!''
On one hand, we had Brooke White's jaw-dropping stop-and-reboot on ''You Must Love Me,'' David Archuleta's badly botched second verse on ''Think of Me,'' and (sigh) even Carly Smithson's rhyme-busting substitution of her song title (''Superstar'') when she should've repeated ''Jesus Christ'' on her first run-through of the chorus.
Though these obvious gaffes didn't exactly bolster the trio's fortunes tonight, they couldn't come close to the integrity-immolating antics of Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and even Simon Cowell, who might as well have been reading their critiques off cue cards written by Nigel Lythgoe himself.
