I had a real problem with last night’s episode of American Idol. I love the Beatles, and the songs on last night’s episode are some of the best songs written in rock-n-roll history. And of course, there was a lot of butchering.

What really got me, though, was David Archuleta. I know he’s only 17, but how could he sing “Imagine” written by John Lennon a couple of weeks ago with such conviction in a performance that brought many people to tears, and then say he wasn’t a fan of The Beatles and that “type” of music this week? So, since he “didn’t know” any of the songs, he sings the Stevie Wonder version of “We Can Work it Out” and forgets half the lyrics and tries to turn it into a show tune. Perhaps he’s trying to show his more human side? Either way, it didn’t work for me. Go back to the sad songs, David! Last night’s episode was a disaster, if you ask me. Your thoughts?
