Big voiced Syesha Mercado sings “If I Were Your Woman” for this week’s theme “Songs In The Year You Were Born” in the American Idol Top 10 performance show. She puts on a great performance to make sure she doesn’t end up in the bottom 3.

Balladeer Jason Castro sings “Fragile” originally by Sting for the American Idol Top 10 performance show. His song choices are quite good and as long he plays it safe, he’s popular enough to go through to the next round.

Singing first, Ramiele Malubay sings “Alone” for the American Idol Top 10 performance show. Celine Dion/Whitney Houston clones just don’t sit well with me but they seem to do the best on American Idol.

As expected, my favorite Amanda Overmyer has been eliminated in the American Idol Top 11 results. Unable to fit in right from the beginning, Amanda Overmyer is way too unique for American Idol where either balladeers or Whitney Houston/Maria Carey clones tend to do well. The only regret is that she won’t be touring with the American Idol Top 10. What a shame.

Onward And Upward, Amanda!

Remaining Top 10 Performers are Ramiele Malubay, Carly Smithson, Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White, Syesha Mercado, Michael Johns, David Archuleta, Jason Castro, David Cook and Chikezie Eze.

Video of Barack Obama making a major speech in Philadelphia where Mr Obama decried his former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s ‘profoundly distorted’ sermons but refused to disown the 66-year-old Chicago preacher, who welcomed the young community organiser into his Christian flock 20 years ago.

This video shows Reverend Jeremiah Wright giving a racially charged speech at one of his sermons. The former pastor of presidential candidate Barack Obama who has now retired from the Chicago church, resigned last week from an Obama campaign committee when videos emerged of him appealing to African-Americans to sing ‘God damn America’ and condemning US ‘terrorism’.

Barack Obama condemned the sermons while standing by his black spiritual mentor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and appealing for America’s divided communities to pursue a ‘more perfect union’.
