My husband watched the elimination show before I did, and when he texted me that “David is out”, I kinda freaked for a moment, thinking he meant David Cook, who I’ve really grown to like over these past few weeks. Then I realized he meant David Hernandez, and my panic was replaced by sadness.

Because I liked David, I really did- and I didn’t think his performance was that bad. Nowhere near as much of a trainwreck as Kristy Lee Cook’s, anyway. David has an amazing voice, and if his demise has anything to do with him being a stripper in the past, that just sucks.

So, I’m sad he’s gone. But life- and Idol- goes on. I LOVED Beatles night, especially Brooke White’s heartfelt piano performance. Go, Brooke! Please, please vote for Brooke.
