BRIAN BENBEN SHEDS A TEAR: Ladies and gentlemen, we have two tiers this season: Young David Archuleta's, and everyone else's.
Michael Johns' boot tonight reminds me of Tamyra Gray's in season one -- an utterly solid and competent singer (though, okay, she was better) fallen prematurely by a bad choice in a wide-open genre. It is impossible for me to argue, based on this week alone, that he *wasn't* the worst of the eight singers, but it's weird seeing someone go from "never in the bottom three" to gone without being actively bad -- and yet every eliminated person is someone who had never been threatened before -- i.e., folks being lax because their favorite has never seemed at risk.
David Cook is, quietly, a very happy man tonight. His main competition to make the finals is gone.
